WoMAN's SUFFRAoE.-An abnormal,
not to say extraordinary, feature Of the
late Democratic Convention ct st. Louis
WAS the speech Of Miss Phoebe Cousins in
behalf OF the Women's National Suffrage
Association. The fair orator took tho
broad ground that There should bs no
taxation without representation. Her
argument was based on the assumption
that the fact Of sex does not destroy the
principle. This question Of woman sufY.
rage has been agitated for . number Of
years. and unfortunately for its success
been headed by certain class Of pro-
gresslvs ladies who desire to subvert im-
portsnt moral relations while enlareinR

thrown of the shackles OF mans bond.

opponents Of the cause and thus bring il

minded of them have desired to effect a
political partnership and have not been

Miss Cousins action shows. All laws
and customs may be considered a. pos.

How NEAR WE CAME TO HAvUd NO
GREAT UNKowN.-The country doesn't
know how near it came to having no
President for the next four years-in
short, how close shave Hayes had, but
q few months ago. to being cut down in
the flower Of his manhood and the fresh.
ness OF his political aspirations. The
cognoscible candidate-until yesterday
afternoon the Great Unknown-was one
Of the party of excursionists who went
in Ootober last, with numerous other
leading men of the West and Northwest
to view the Centennial building. The
progress of the railroad from Buffalo to
Philadelphia was heralded to the eoar-
try round about by vigorous firing Of
cannon and other noisy demonstrations
of the people. just after leaving Buffalo
ths train passed through the hamlet
where once Willard Fillmore lived. The
citizens had limbered up IA old Sly
FOUNDER and loaded il to the u1zzle. In
their simplicity, and q desire 10 make
the thing heard to the tnmatss OF the
train. which was speeding along a. the
rate Of forty miles per hour. they had
planted the cannon within two feet cf
the track, on o small bluff about ~ aigh
as the ca, windows, and pointed il
across the track. A the train vairisd
past the gun was discharged. Il made

rustics went home, no doubt. l1hi-

and to the first Centennial train, and ig-
norsnt Of what the effect OF that shot had
been. In one of the Pullman cars sat
Governor-elect Hayes, OF Ohio, Governor
Bagley, Of Michigan, and few other
Western dignitariss. That car was
abreast OF the cannon when ii was dis
charged. and the enthusiasm OF the viii
layers Of the western New York town
was scattered all over the interior of the
railway palace in the shape of glass
which came from the windows. The ex-
plosion occurred through the window by
the seat on which Hayes was sitting, and
plate glass, window sash and other ar
ticles were showered on him thicker than
votes will probably be in November.
Powder from the gun singed his blonde
beard, and fragments Of the French
glass found Judgment in his clothes. 1t
was narrow escape for the Great Un-

slant sooner might have saved Cincin-

troubles, and plac ed Hayes in reality in

There was duke once who disguised
himself, and placed a great rock in
the middle Of the road near his place,
Next morning n peasant came that
way with his ox-cart. "Oh, these Ia
zy people, said he. There is this
big stone lying right in the middle OF
the road and no one will take the
trouble to put it out OF the way And
SO Hans went on, scolding about the
laziness of the people.
Next came a gay soldier along. His
head was held so far back that he
didn't notice the stone, and so tumbled
over it. He began to storm at the
country people around there for leav-
ing a huge rock in the road. Then he
went on.
Next came a company Of merchants.
When they came to the stone, the
road was so narrow that they had to
go of in single file on the other side.
One of them cried out, "Did anybody
ever see the like Of that big stone ly-
ing here the whole morning, and not
a single person stopping to take il
awayf"
II lay there three weeks, and no
one tried to move II. Then the duke
sent around word to all people in his
lands TO meet where the rock lay, as
he had something TO tell them.
The day came, and great crowd
gathered. Old Hans, the farmer, was
there, aud so were the merchants. A
horn was heard. and splendid caval
cade came galloping up. The duke
got down from his horse, and began u
speak to the people gathered there.
"My friends. il was | who put thi,
stone here three weeks ago. Every
passer-by has left ii just where il was
and has scolded his neighbor for moi

He stopped down and lifted up thu
stone. Directly underneath it was

small leathern bag. The duke he'll
