A Brave. Lady.
[From Demorest's Monthly Magazine

[From Demorest's Monthly Magazine.l
Miss Susan B. Anthony has done a
noble thing, which deserves to be widely
known She has lectured 120 times dur
ing this season, il is said, and has paid
of the last of the debt of $4,000 which
she was compelled to assume in the fail
ure of the Revolution. In the days of
its weakness, when the advocates of wo-
man suffrage were hopeless divided into
two rival organizations, and the Wo-
mans Journal was fourishing in Bos-
ton, Miss Anthony courageously took
the Revolution, and became financially
responsible for it. That she has felt
obliged to work for years after its failure
to pay its debts, at time when thous-
ands of men avail themselves of the
privileges of the Bankrupt act, is a
phenomenal exhibition of moral sensi-
tiveness and personal honor. A woman
is thoroughly qualified to plead for the
claims of her own sex when she respects
the rights of human nature so keenly.

Col. Tom SWann,s Letter.

CHARLESTON, February Cool. Swami
was q red hot, rampant secessionist
early in 1851, and as the Ohio troops adj
vanced up the Kanawha Valley, with
drew into the Confederate lines. While
there he acquired the title Of Colonel,
having secured a rowing commission. 1t
is not recorded that he was ever in any
engagement. One Of his most notable
deeds while in the service Of the G. S. A,
was in presenting trlSty squirrel rifle
to one Of his troops.
@Take this rifle, J" said Col. Tom; at has
seen good service. 1t has on 1t, as you
see, t6irty.two notches. Each one repre-
sents dead Yankee. See that It contin.
ues to do good service"
After the war Col. Tom returned TO
civil life, resumed the practice OF the law,
became Radical, and married cousin
Of Gen. Grant, wealthy and accomplish
ed lady, whose mother was Grant. He
also made one or two speeches TO the ne
groeS, which moderate men called incen-
diary.
An amusing incident occurred at the
Hale House in Charleston, when he en-.
deayored to renew his acquaintance with
General Early.
"You seem 10 have forgotten me, Gen.
eral," said Colonel Tom, advancing and
extending his hand. ayes, sir" said the
inplaca6le and unreconstructed Jubal,
Strengthening to his full height, "Yes,
sir. By G., sir, l haze forgotten you,
sir"
Colonel Swami is thought to control
the Federal appointments hereabout, and
should his cousin.in.law appoint him to
the Court Of ST. James, he will be an i'm
proyement on Poker-Emma Schenck.
Colonel Tom Is honest in money matters.

n. Y. Correspondent Of the Springfield Republican.
Mile Titiens comes to the new world
from the position similar 10 that held by
Grisi in 1854. She is the first lady on the
lyric stage. She was ready to appear in
either opera or concert. On her arrival,
the times being hard ,iand Strakosch hav-
ing been badly plucked by the various
songsters he has had on exhibition, he
grew timid and tried concerts. In this
he failed. Mile Titiens is not concert
singer; she is grand opera singer. Jen-
ny Lind was a concert singer; she and
Nine Parepa were great when standing
upon a platform, before an orchestra, in
oratorio; but they were both puerile
in.opera. Of the stage, the great drama
tic power Of Ttiens is lost, and the effect
is wasted. She is the lineal descendant
OF Pasta, Malibran and GriSi; royal
line, Of which there is but one representa-
tivein q generation. Failing to gather
shekels in concerts made StraEosch bold,
and 1t has driven him into the right path.
He has taken the tide. The drawbacks
to success at our academy are very great,
but, in spite Of them, Mile Titiens made
a great success. The breadth and grand
cur other style seemed to be thoroughly
appreciated by the large audiences.

A FEW days ago we published cable
dispatch to the New York Herald to the
effect that the extreme ritualists OF the
Church Of England had made PROPOSE
tons to the Pope with reference to a Sc
cession from the English to the Romish
Church. From the dispatches 1t now ap.
pears that the Rev. A. II. Mackonachie,
who is curate Of the famous ritualistic
church Of St. Adams, has sent to the
English papers document signed by 100
prominent ritualists, "disclaiming con.
nec.ion or sympathy with any movement
looking to the subOrdina!ion of the Ang.
lican ritualists to the Papacy, and dc.
Glaring the basis of such negotiation i'm
possible until tho Vatican DEGREES are re.
tracted and repealed with as much for

Is explicit SO far as it goes, and so far as
it speaks for the 100 signCrs, but it is an
admission that negotiation is possible,
It shows that the bell-and-candle faction
OF the Church OF England is nibbIing

As q number otpeople in this region OF
country, especially among our neighbOrs
in Washington county, Pa, and Belmont
county, Ohio, invested more or less OF
their surplus means in tho bonds OF the
Northern Pacific Railroad few years
ago, it seems proper that we should say,
for their comfort and encouragement, that
the Philadelphia Ledger (good authority
speaks hopefully Of the prospect Of their
getting something worth holding for, on
their long unproductivo Outlay, at some
time in the fuIure-poSsibly in the near
future. The Ledger says that the road is
in operation from Lake Superior to the
Missouri river, four hundred and fifty
miles. At the Red river it connects, by
lines OF steamers, with the Canadian
province Of Manitoba. It's traffic Is said
to give good promise for the future. The
Pacific Division is in operation from the
Columbia river TO Tacoma, the terminus
on Puget Sound, a distance Of los miles.
At Tacoma, coast steamers and the steam
ers navigating the sound connect with
trains running to Columbia river, rear
the city of Portland, Oregon. The traffic
on both divisions in 1875 shows gross re-
csipts on 555 miles OF completed road OF
$6ls,59O. The net income was Sl52, l40.
Each mile OF the road built has been &C.
cepted by the Government, and this enti-
ties the company, under the charter, to
l0,sOO,OOO acres OF land. This land the
company is selling to settlers at prices
which thus far average S. per acre. ltis
intended that the work Of construction
shall be resumed the present season. The
equipment OF the road is reported good,
requiring no Immediate expenditure in
that direction. Nine-tenths OF the bonds
issued have been surrendered under the
plan Of reorganization, and are bcingcon-
verified into preferred stock. The small
amount outstanding is gradually coming
in. By May next it is believed the COM
pany will have 555 miles Of equipped
railroad, free from bonded or floating
debt, in operation. The certificates of
preferred stock are now being Issued in
exchange for the $40 bonds at the rate
of $4,000 for every $1,000 Of the princi-
pal Of the bonds, which includes interest
thereon to July |, 1878. This preferred
stock ia receivable at par for the compa-
ny's lands east of the Missouri river. The
preferred stock will be entitled TO diyi.

annum before the common stock is per-
mitted to participate in dividends to any

After pause, SO long that many
thought that he was about to fall in the
much.talked.of apoplectic fit, Mr.. Beech
er read yesterday:
"And when Paul had gathered bundle
Of sticks and laid them on the fire, there
came viper out OF the heat and fastened

saw the venomous beast hang on his
hand, they said among themselves, No
doubt this man is murderer, whom,

"And he shook of the beast into the
fire, and felt no HARM"
All understood Mr.. Beecher to refer to
Mr.. Bowen, and when no drew back and
