We give to-day In our LEGAL columns an
epitome of the lecture entitled s'Super6uous
Women" delivered on Saturday evening,
in the First Unitarian Church, BY Mrs. Mary
ILivermore. The lecture itself was indeed
well written, and replete with historical
facts and dates from the most authentic
times down to the present day. Mrs. Liver
more. spoke without notes, and the manner
in which she cited events that happened
long ages ago, together with place and date
OF each, with an accuracy truly wonderful,
showed her to be woman of more than
ordinary ability, and mind not only
deep and thoughtful, but remarkable
ably rstentive. Her style of delivery, how
ever, 10 not to say perfect, as it is rather
rapid, yet this does not in the least detract
from the interest one feels in her discourse,
as her voice is distinct and clear, and every
word is caught. The arguments in her lee
ture, while they were few; were of such a
sweeping character that the most intelli-
gent would sooner believe than attempt to
confute them. As lecturess we should
say Mrs. Livermore has few if any equals.

The Administration editors in New York
State are convinced they are on the wrong
tack. They have been wasting any amount
Of ina ginaton in picturing ex-Gov Seymour
as the spontaneous choice of the New York
Democracy for the Presidency, says the
New York Tribune, and had hopes of Sc
ducing at least one Democratic journal to
help them before long, when The Utica Oh
seryer, published al Mr.. Seymour's home,
comes out with this authoritative statement
and upsets all Of their nice little plans;
"We beg to inform these bogus newsmon-
gers, who are fond Of substituting fancies
for facts, that Gov. Seymour is not candi-
date for the Presidency; that under no cir
cumstances would he accept nomination;
that if the office of President could be ten

of an election, he would percmptorily de-

The Moon, sweet Empress OF the Night,
Sits on thezenith Of her throne
In silent majesty and light
And gorgeous empire, all her own;
Her jewelled courtiers disappear
In timid twinklings, Len again..
Like meteOrs from some distant sphere,
Through loOp-holes flash like diadems.
The Garth is brisht and beautiful, as when
Its mistress smiled on Eden's bowers,
And bathed in loveliness each glen
And cool retreat, with silver showers
And that once-happy, sinless pair,-
Which. arm-in arm those blest arcades
And green swards traversed everywhere,
From dewy morn to ey ening shades
Oh! at this weird-like, mystic hour
This sweet and shadeless Noon Of Night
When all mid-Summer's lavish power
Crowns earth with June's transcendent
light
When over all the livried scene,
Like some glad hearted, blue.eyed boy,
The laughing earth, in pearly sheen,
Sheds all night long her tears Of joy
Sweetheart, in heaven, come and wait,
With fearful eyes and throbbing heart,
Beside that narrow, silent gate,
Where Life and Love and did part
l kiss thy monumental stone--
kneel beside thy tlower'decked grave,
Crushed but resigned--in prayer-alone-
Then am valiant, strong and brave.
Sweet Peace, like Heaven sdescendingd dov {
Steals calmly DER my anguished soul,
And signals from yon world above
Seem now to call me to that goal
Each sigh becomes a triumph passed.
Each sound q holy melody
And every tear shed, glass
That soft and sweetly mirrors thee.
Sweet Spirit, robed in Heavens light,
By Seraphs tended bright and fair,
Send thy dear kindred on their flight
To guard, surround me, everywhere
For every sin and guilt of mire
And murmur, mustforgiven be,
And my poor heart be pure as thine,
Ere can mate again with thee.

Mr.. Martin A. Bovee, has taken great IN
terest in the punishment Of crime, and has
written numbers of letters upon the SUI
ject. In recent letter he holds that
"every execution sows the seed for an
abundant crop Of murders" and cites two
instances in which spectators fresh from
the horrors of the scaf1old have themselves
become murderers. "The gallows," he
says, lessons respect for human life" !"
"tcaches men to KILL" and educates people
in brutality and violence The same ap-
plies to the Delaware whipping post and

the lash three successive times, and yet it
is called great reformatory measure. 50
far from reforming it hardens and renders
the culprit callous to the punishment,
through the sting of modification that the
first lashing gives him.

LAS for you, Senator Spencer, you are a
carpet-bagger and boot-licker for Grant
Go and lick your masters boots, but don't
call on me to do it,"
THESE words from Republican and a
colored Congressman at that, is are excep-
tional deviation from party loyalty. The
indignant man is Bruce, of Mississippi, who
has told the President he believed that he
was playing two games, while to the car
pet-baggers and boot -lickers he has breathed
spirit equally as resentful. Surely if Mr..
Bruce is the highest representative of his
race in Congress, as he claims to be, they
are looking out for another bell sheep to
lead the flock besides Grant, and as he has
told Mr. Morton not to shake the "bloody
shirt at him." perhaps that blood and thun-
der orator from Indiana, is not to be re-
warded for his lying whit the Office of tht
Presidency. This is truly new affection tt
the party, and the leading paragraph o
this, shows what he thinks of those of his
party who try to lead him into the paths
of party strategy or trickery.
