Mrs. Celia Burleigh.

Mrs. Celia Burleigb, the well-known woman
suffrage agitator, died at her residence in Syra-
cuse, N. Y. on Monday the: ::26th, at the age Of
forty-eight years. Her life history is widely
known, and her prominent career as a lecturer
and woman suffragist brought her in contact
with many of the advanced thinkers of the
day. She was born in Syracuse and raised
amid the most humble surroundings. Her ed
ucational advantages were so slight that her
subsequent notoriety as a lecturer, preacher
and writer appears all the more astonishing.
But she was, in every sense of the word, self
educated, self-made woman. At an early age
she was married to man superior to her In
station and from this time she nobly began to
struggle with the illiteracy to which the acc-
dent of her birth had subjected her, aud began
that splendid work of self-education which
was not to cease until death barred her fur
ther progress. NJ. d. Conway was one
of those who interested himself deeply in
her great aspirations aud assisted her in
her sef-appointed task. Her marriage proved
to be an unhappy one and was ended by
divorce. Her second marriage was to man
we'll known in Boston, Chauncey Burr. 1t
was during this second marriage. and while
residing at Fort Lee with her husband, that she
various publications, some of which found nu-
merous admirers. This union, however, was
destined to prove unfortunate to the parties
who contracted it, and was sunderei by di-
vorce. Mrs. Burr still retained hope enough
| in the possibility of a marriage relation to
| give her hand some ten years ago to Mr.. Will
| liam N. Burleigh, an anti-slavery and woman
| suffrage reformer in Brooklyn. This last union
was marked with great devotion on the part Of
| both husband and wife. Her best efforts date
| from this,happy event. Under the auspices of
| the New York Sorosis she delivered lecture on
''Womanhood," and, also in New York, an
| other on "Houses and Home" For some time
| she travelled through the country delivering
| lectures on these and kindred subjects.
| In 1872 she received call to the
pastorate of the Unitarian church in Brook
| lyn, Conn.,, previously presided over by Samue
| ID. May. A year before herhusband had died in
| Brooklyn. His death was q great blow TO
| her and one from which she never fully re-
lowered. In 1872 she collected her husbands
\ poems and published them with an introdnc-
| tion under her own name. Two years ago she
| gave up her pastorate on account of failing
| health, and has since been in charge of de-
| voted friend, Miss Hubbard, at Syracuse. Mrs.
Burleigh was the founder of the Brooklyn
| Womans Club and vice president of the So
rosis. Her demise will excite keen regret
| among wide circle of friends.

THE most notable example of the rapid de-
velopment of any department of trade in the
United States is afforded by the growth in
the export of leather from this country TO
Europe. A few years since it was impossible
to make sale of American leatherin Europe.
Indeed it was maintained that our tanners
could not make decent article of leather.
few years since, the sole-leather dealers in
New York found the market irregular and
prices low. By concert of action they pur-
chased large amount of sole.leather and
shipped it to England, not with the expecta-
tion Of profit, but for the purpose of regulat.
ing the home market. The exceedingly low
prices which it commanded caused man
ufacturers to try it in spite of their prejudi-
ces. They soon came to like the American
product and afterwards to give it the prefer
ence, and now that American tanners are
able to produce the article much cheaper
than English producers, our people have the
advantage Of a magnificent trade. The follow
ing figures will give some idea of the wonder
full growth of our.. r..export trade in leather:

FOLLOWING the "open letter, of Mr..
Plllsbury comes one from Mr.. J. FL. Manley,
addressed to Mr.. r., prompted by the mali
cious reference which the Standard editor
made to him in his letter to Mr.. Blaine4 Mr..
Manley says, first, that he never had anything
to do, directly or indirectly, with class of
enlistments known as paper credits, but that
he did aid in the distribution of Psi men ac-
tualy enlisted in the navy, who, if they had
not been credited to the quota of Maine,
would have been given to Massachusetts,; /;
second, that to do this, he did not have to
secure any influence with the War Depart

The Northern District.

To the Editor Of the Press: ala.g.
Among the other items of political gossip
preparatory to the coming Republican county
convention is that of who shall be the candi-
date for Senator for the northern district of this
county, and we clip the following item from the
Bridgton News: t51 ......
"For Senator for the Northern District the
names of Philander Tolman, Esq, of Harrison,
and Russell q. Scribner, Esq, of Otisfeld, are
most frequently mentioned. Each Of these
candidates have active friends and supporters,
and there will unquestionably be q warm con-
test in the convention between these two gentle-
men,"
We understand that the towns in this vicin-
ity concede the position to Mr.. Scribner on the
ground that Otisfield has had nothing for the
past fifteen years, and that they feel that Mr.
Scribner will be strong candidate, having had
one years Legislative experience, and at the
time of his election running considerably
ahead of the gubsrnatorial yote.=

THAT "merely local issue' in Ohio is fast
becoming national issue, and the hard
money Democrats are growing weaker
backed every day. Holman of Indiana, once
a staunch supporter of resumption, has quite
gone over to the infiationists. and has told
reporter of the Cincinnati Enquirer that the
Ohio Democratic platform is "the best ever
adopted by any political organization" He
thought it would be adopted by the Democ-
racy of Indiana, and said, 'In my own dis
trict the next political issue hangs solely up
on the financial question. Everywhere, in
every town and hamlet, among farmers and
mechanics, with merchants and manulac-
turers, the financial policy of the Ohio DEM
ocrats is enthusiastically welcomed. South
ern Indiana is almost unit in its devoted
opposition to the encroachments of the
bullionists. Indeed, consider the condi-
tion of Democratic affairs in your state most
flattering. With splendid ticket and a
splendid platform, and with the people cry
ing fer more money, and evincing deter
mination to have it, we Indiana people can
almost now hear the coming sounds of your
victorious trumpets." ..-

The compromise on the currency question
which we suggested would probably take
place between the two factions of the Demo-
cracy seems to be seriously entertained, if we
can trust the World, which says: "Some of
our otherwise level-headed Democratic ex-
changes at the South, over-estimating the
influence and the backing of the Ohio blum
derers, anticipate some differences within
the party on the currency issue AMI advise
the dwarfng of that issue in the coming
Presidential contes. or the relegation Of it to
the Congressional districts. The adoption ol
either of these courses would be deservedly
fatal to the success of the party"

The President is determined hereafter to
subject all stores and goods furnished for the
Indians to the same rigid examination which
army supplies undergo. 1t is in accordance
with this determination that more army
officers have been designated as inspectors o.
Indian supplies. The President is quoted as
saying that if the law would permit he would
Immediately order all annuities to be paid to
the Indians through army paymasters, and
all supplies to be received and issued by
quartermasters and commissaries. 1t is ex-

Congress, recommend such a change in the
law as will authorize army officers to perform
these duties. 'efp -u

GEN. EWING made his first appearance
in the Ohio campaign Saturday, and made
one Of those imitation harangues which the
argus characterizes az hard-money addresses.
The closing paragraph of his speech we give,
and advise the Argus to clip it, for that jour
nal will have to use Just such language next
year. Gen. Ewing closed in the following
lofty and animated strain:
"Fellow-citizens, the Ohio Democracy has
called halt in the march of the Republican
administration to the equalization of currency
with gold. and demands that another and bet
ter route shall be taken. The two roads are
widely divergent. One leads through years of
individual bankruptcy; prostration of business;
riot of usurers; impoverishment and degrada-
ton of the masses-to the establishment of a
currency meager in quantity, inferior in char
acter, and controlled by mon0polies in few
money centres, whose power will make them
lords and the people serfs. The other leads
through industrial activity; abatement of
usury; employment of labor and diffusion of
wealth--to the establishment of an exclusively
national currency, controlled by the people,
with a due regard to all obligations of honor
and to the equal interests of all sections and
classes. Which road shall we take? Shall we
plunge on for four years through the Serbonian
bog through which the industries of the coun-
try are now struggling and sinking, or march
oy the pleasant and solid paths of pros
Deritv and thrift? ?'' @ --

THE decline of British exports to this
country began in 1872 but the past year the
falling off is very large. In table published
in which the quantities of the leading articles
imported to the United States from Great
Britain during the first six months of 1872 is
compared with the quantities imported during
the corresponding six months of 1876, it ap-
pears that there has been an increase in but
three commodities, beer, tin-plates and salt
the increase of the latter being so per cent.
in quantity. To indicate the extent of this
falling off we take from the table few of the
more important items, as follows:

IT is said that one of the Ohio Democratic
orators has been unceremoniously withdrawn
from the stump because he habitually said
''But to resume," at the beginning of every
paragraph in his speeches. His Democratic
"hard-money" friends tried to induce him to
begin his paragraphs with "But to initiate" :"

the party. He could not, however, break up
his habit of speech, and so they had to part
