We did walk up. and soon stood before
the two celebrated sisters. 70 our very
aureeable surprise we found the
,vn,nnn,s rights champions devoid 81 oil
the attributes which popular sentiment
attaches to the profession both MIS-;
Woodh,lll and Miss Claflin being refined
in manners, and their conversation
most attractive. .a,.
During the conversation Miss Claflin
mentioned that she was endowed with
uroulletjc power, and instanced rs u
,Toof thereof a conversation years ago
with Commodore Vanderbilt, wherein
ehn predicted tho downfall Of Napoleon
either by assassination or revoilt,oh.
In our conversation Mis- woodruff M

names that make women shudder.
while she chucked principle like medi,
cine, down their Threats. She has risked
and realized the sort Of ignolniny that
would have paralyzed any Of us who
have longer been called strong-minded
Leaning into the brambles that were
too high for us to sec over them, she
broke Il path into their close
and thorny interstices. with q stead,
rnst faith that glorious principle would
triumph at last over conspic-
uous ignominy. although her ,itc
might be sacrificed. And when. Wit, !,

dore Tilton WIS ashamed to acknowl-
edge Victoria Woodruff; but In the an
nails Of emancipation the name OF which

place as a delverer.
Mrs. Stanton, seriously and with
deliberate emphasis, said u have
worked thirty years for woman suf-
frage. and now / feel that woman suf-
frage Is but the vcstibulo Of woman's
emancipation.
