chronicled. I'VE will answer that
whatever Eye chief may have written,
from her has reached the office
during the past month or more, but a
single chapter of story.-ED.]
Did we tell you of visit to Tenafly, |
New Jersey, to the home of grand Eiiz-
abeth Cady Stanton, where she and our
beloved Susan B. Anthony are at work
upon the "Hlstory of the Suffrage
Movement" which is to surprise the
world with its wonderful details of
woman's struggle for liberty?
Tbe home of Mrs. Stanton is an ele-
CANT country villa, with beautiful
grounds and pleasant drives, situated in
the heart of the blue hills of Jersey,
where, at the time of our visit, the au-
tumn leaves were aglow with holo-
caust of glory.
1t was Sunday, and the day of Gen
eral Newton's explosion of He'll Gate.
Susan and ourself were costly seated in
a pleasant upper room, sorting letters,
manuscripts, and what not, when sud-
denly distant rumbling caused US to
hearken anxiously. He'll Gate was six
teen miles.away, but Tenafiy, as we'll as
every other town outside of New York,
to say nothing of the great city herself,
was in fever of dread and expectation.
So many tons of nitro-glycerine had
been buried away beneath the rivers
bowels, so many trains had been laid,
SO many electrical wires arranged, and
so many theories set afloat on paper,
| that it was terrible let-down to the
average New Yorker when girl baby's
! finger touched the valves and opened
the gates of hell, and literally swallowed
death in victory. But that was all past
month ago, and maybe we have writ
ten of it before.
Mrs. Stanton is trifle stouter, trifle
graver, and even more beautiful than
she was four or five years ago. Her
husband is jolly and genial, her sons
and daughters, ditto. Their home is
the abode of hospitality and order, and
the croaker that couldn't be wholly
cured of horrid fancies concerning the
new order of things by visit to the
fourishing city of Laramie, where the
women vote and yet retain their WON
anliness, should go to Mrs. Stanton's anC
forever renounce his morbid anxiety il
the light of her august presence.
Then, did we write you about having
. lectured by invitation before the Lib
eral Club of New York, of which Hor
ace Greeley was first President, an,
! with which most of the eminent mel
of the city are in some way connected
2 There was a fine audience, and al
t hours address. followed by length.

e The Club decided that we "got ava

s teously declined, thinking it better t
t quit while our credit was good.

tell you anything about that? You SCI
