A VALUABLE MEDICINE. 10
various forms has for many years been one
OF the chief articles in the Materia Medsca
for the treatment of certain diseases.
among which are chiefly those affecting
the urinary, digestive. and circulatory or.
eans. The difficulty that was long ex-
perlenced in obtaining a preparation Of
this valuable drug that could always be
relied upon for uniformity in strength and
absolute purity led to the introduction of
Helmbold's Extract of Buehu. which for
the last quarter of century has been ex-
tensively used both by physicians and in
house and family practice, and with very
gratifying success. This medicine, like
every other valuable thing, has been imi-
tated, and those who have use for it will
do well to see that the obtain the oenmine
"Helmbold Buchu," the only pure and
reliable preparation.

A CALIFORNIA BEssiE.- Theodore
Tiiton's visit Ia California seems 10 have
prompted some Woodland Lothario To
endeavor to successfully initiate the ftat
of the redoubtuhlr Theodore with Bessie
Tanner. Some Woodland chap entered
the rear door of a house when the family
were wrapped in slumber, and taking the
daughter of the household out OF bed cur
ried her out of doors and hundred feet
away before >he was awakened. Then
her screams brought rescue and the fel-
low took to hi heels and escaped. The
affair makes quite a sensation in the

TIE WAsHINGTON MONUMENT AT
the Presidential Election in 1852, hu&es
were placed at the polls all over the
United States by oider of the Washing
ton Monument committee, and it was
hoped that from the free contributions of
voters on that day sum sufficient To car.
~ the monument forward to completion
would be realized. At the precinct where
VIC voted that day $40 votes were cast
and about Sl37 contributed. The design
Of the Monument contemplated height
1850 feet, and esch State was asked to
contribute one or more blocks of native
stone, bearing suitable inscriptions, tO be
set in the structure. California contribu-
t,d two blocks if our mem pry serves us
right. one of quartz. and one of grant.
But the Washington Monument pro
creased very slowly. The nation behed
with regret the dilntory manner in which
the work WAS prosecuted, but late invest
igslions show that it WAS pelhsps for the
lost, that il it had been pushed forward it
would have been waste of money. a
commission appointed to examine the
monument report that the stratum of
ssnd and clay on which the fouI dation
rests is already loaded to the limit OF
prudence that there had been an actual
compression of the soil to the depth of
eight or ten inches, that the shaft is sen
siblv out Of plumb and the foundations
show al increasing deps ture from hcri-
EohtaIi:y, and TINT these imperfrctinns
may be expected to increase MS additions
ARE made 10 the weight of the structure,
If not - a dangerous degree, at least tn
such an extent as will make tho mnnu.
ment very unsuited to the purnose for
which il was designed. This accords
with the report some time ago that the
monument was leaning Ia the North. It
appears from the report of Ihis COM. ..ittee
that the foundations were not laid of suf.
kcient dim ensiUns to sustain the great
weight they were intended Ia bear and
that the work thus lar done is wholly
useless.

FEMALE SUFFRAGE.

Colorado is soon To submit the ques-
tion TO her people whether the elective
franchise and the incidental right to hold
Office, shal be exercised by the women OF
that State. Movements, having the
same object, are initiated 10 greater or
less extent in some of the Northern States
every yenr, the tiieids of the principle
being evidently of the opinion ihat it must
be "agitatcd" To command attention and
ensure success. In this they are right
all radical changes are slow To commend
themselves 10 that obtuse body, the pub
lie. Aud female suffrage wherever tried,
will be found radical change-whether
it will also be great rcform-as claimed
by its advocates, remains IT, be seen after
it has stood the test Of trial.
Ii this right is given, it will, Of course.
be granted impartially. The same stand
ard which applies 10 male citizens will be
made 10 apply To females with, perhaps,
youthful female emerged from the depen
dency and vassalage OF chi!dhond into the
possession of sovereignty. Viewed from
an unprejudiced stand point, there seems
10 be nothing wong in giving and grant
ing To woman the same rights possessed
by her husband and brothers. But here
comes the qne,tion-by whom would the
I privilege bc exercised Ii i, not cxerci.-
I ed now by the class of voters which have
most Ht stake IN the veal of the county.
/ The slums of the cities often control the
politics OF II State, and ho,ding the bnl-
ance of power, (Which ii never fails to ex-
ercis,) the "swell mob" over tide aud
offset the ballots Of the respectable clnsses
of citizens. The slumS Of New York
City came very near electing Demo-
cratic Presi ident and once more throwing
the curse of Democratic rule upon this
nation. And where the honest vote of
New York was t0o strong 10 he overcome
by the legitimate vote of the slumS, the
power Of corruption KEEP; in power by the
slums, was invoked to the manufacture
of bogus votes enough to carry the State.
In plain English we have done enough,
and more than enough in the way Of ex-
tending the Elective franchise. i given
to females, its exercise would be ignored
by the better Glasses, but every den of in
fanny would pour forth is inmates when
ever an election day came around.
Sufiiage should be mpartial-not uni
versal. 1t should be given only when
those exercising it can come up u fixed
standiid of education and intelligence !;
Il should he withheld when sought to be
used HY those who do not come up tu that
standard. 1t should make no d,crimi-
nation in favor at color, creed, sex or na.
tonality, but gauge It's requirements by
the standard or Standards adopted. But
II sutflMge be unlversai-ii IL be r3tehded
To the other sex On precisely the same
conditions enjoyed by men nj the present
time, 1t Is SAFE 10 say that politics will be
moie controlled by he lower oider, than
even now. For the high classes OF wo.
man, the wives and mothers of our
homes, would care little to dabbe in the
''illby pool" 1t would be only great oe-
casions, when it had the appearance, OF II
sacred duty which would call them to the
polls, while the lower classes of women
then, MS of men now, would never miss
an election.
