An exchange wants ladies' to take of their
hats In church, but as long as half the ladies'
go to church for the purpose of displaying their
hats, 1t ls hardly possible that the suggestion

| Mrs. Mary A. Livermore returned home two
weeks ago from tour in California in excellent
health and spirits. After only three days Of
rest, she went to Philadelphia to take part in
the great convention Of the temperance women
OF America. The Woman's Journal says -
There Is not one man in thousand, even OF
those who are accustomed to public life who
could do the work aud endure the fatigue which
this lady has undergone during the past seven
| years. In view OF such an example, the ques-
ton OF womans comparative physical and
mental ability for severe and protracted labor
Is not only proved but demonstrated"
The literary department OF the Chicago Tn.

Mrs. Sarah j. Spencer OF Washington wa
I the first woman who was ever granted the priv
ilege Of addressing national political conven
ton, and that convention was the Republca
convention recently held at Cincinnati. Th
New York Tribune says she bore herself vel
and her voice, clear and distinct, reached man
more Of her audience than many Of the speal
ers OF the day. Her thrusts at the masculin
enemy were received with good-humored a.
plause, and when she reminded Frederic
Douglass that he owed more to one woman
Harriet Beecher Stowe-than to all the me
alive, and warned the sardonic Logan that th
, day might come when 10000, 900 women wit
ballots in their hands might forget him IN n
turn for his forgetfulness Of them, the CONVEX
ton seemed to think them fair hits, and ar
plauded vigorously. The favorable impressio
which Mrs. Spencer personally made was nc
in the least diminished when she showed th
rare virtue in convention speaker OF curtal
ing her own time. Perhaps it was sympath,
perhaps il was gratitude, but the conventio
rewarded her at the close with good generou
round OF applause that was twice repeated.
