A Martyr TO Principle.

A stout-build, elderly woman, whose
features did not wear the look OF sweet
ness which charscterizes one who has no
grievance against the world in particular
walked into the County Auditor office,
in San Francisco, recently, and with Il
pain full effort to mingle little moiasses
with the natural vinegar OF her tones,
asked the head deputy TO inscribe 'In q
bold, plain hand" on a large sheet OF
paper the words. "Tsxstion without
Representation is Tyranny" HavIr &
the soldier habit of Obeying without
questioning, the deputy did as he was re-
auested. He was considerably surprised,
however, on handing the psper. t" the
woman, who received 1t with an imper
ious nod of than ks, to see her pin it as q
plscsrd conspicuously on the front OF her
cloak and then march proudly GU. and
takeher place at the foot of the line OF
waiting taxpayers. Unmindtul OF the
won ering gaze of the passers-by and the
sidewalk oilers, she wore her badge OF
principle with perfect composure during
The hours she was kept in waiting for her
turn. She is q person we'll known in
woman rights circles, having dlstln-
guished herself rs the author of book
On the injustice done to womst kind by
our laws, and as an occasional lecturer 10

where . Driver should SIT.

Il
One of the anomalies in American
customs is that Of the driver Of a wagon
sitting on the right-hsnd side, while
he always turns out to the right when
passing another team. 1t matters not
whether he Is on the broad, safe thor
oughtare or on q narrow lane or crowd
ed CITY streets, his seat is the same.
Thus seated it is very difficult to see the
exposed wheels IN passing those which
require the eye of the driver. Doubtless
this is prominent cause OF the many
coils, between passing teams and
the wonder Is that more do not happen.
The custom was brought over by the
Pilgrims. but, like Dutch sentence, the
part. got transposed in the translation.
Across the pond the driver sits on the
right, but always turns TO the lett. In
copying the practice We retained the
useless part and changed the essential
for some unexplained reason. Possibly
our fathers thought to be consistent in
the matter, and rather than be right
handed in the driving changed the lat
ter 10 suit. At all events, the thing as
now prscticed is very way inconvenient
and is worthy subject OF reform in this
wear, when reforms are so much IN favor.
And since it is easier TO change our posi-
ton on the seat than alter the custom OF
turning TO the right let Us hencetorth
hand our friends up to the right side OF
the wagon, while we, as driver, take the
opposite side.

Editor Register.
At a meeting of the "Roney's Point
Tilden Reform Club," January IL, 1877,
the following resolutions were adopted:
!, Ths; the Democracy of Roney's
Point have reason 70 congratulate the
country upon the result Of the election
he'd on November Z, 1876, and that its
existence and progress depends upon the
good faith and sincere obd'ence TO the
Constitution and laws.
=. That we deem il our duty, believing
Is we do. that Samuel J. Jllden ard
Thomas a Hendricks have been legally
elected President and Vice President Of
the United States by large msjority OF
the electoral vote, and any decision to
the contrary will not be scquiesced in,
and that we will resist any act of usurps-
ton, if necessary, by an appeal TO arms:
). That while We desire peaceful
80 u,ion of the difficulties pending and
fu,i; appreciate the disastrous results
that might arise from the opposition of
force to force and fraud, We feel that the
preservation of the ballot and free and
honest election Is OF more importance
than the preservation of peace, and that

in BY fraud, is revolution and If scquisccd

4. Thst we CALL upon the Senators and
Representatives assembled not to surren-
der and sacrifice, through cowardice, our
rights rs Democrats and citizens in this
the hour when it shall be decided whether
constitutional liberty shall live or die,
for we are brave enough to want peace
but not cowardly enough to accept dis
honor or humiliation.
5. That our Senator Henry 6. Davis,
tie Speaker OF the House of Representa-
tives and our member OF Congress, Hon.
Ben. Wilson be forwarded copies OF the
proceedings of this meeting.

R.x.xe. of the Scarlet Fever.

The WInons MIMI Republican, OF
the 9Th inst says: The desolstion OF
home could hardly be more severe than
tbst which has Defallen the family OF
Mr.. Charles L. Pottle, of Minnesota
City, through the rsvsgcs OF scarlet
fever of the most malignant form. On
christmas morning the disease frs: made
rs appearance. The little daughter
Gertrude NJ, a child two years and nine
months old, was seized with vometlng.
The disease ragged violently, and IN the
short space OF 20 hours the little sufferer
died. On Tuesday morning the Oldest
child Charles A., who was brigb: little
fellow, four and half years old, wss
taken sick, and, after an illness OF only
two DAYS and 10 hours, be too, passed
away. Lastly, as if the cup Of affection
was not already iull, the baby, Mabel
F. aged one year, two months and 70
DAYS, gave signs Of the disease on Sunday
morning, the 3lst OF December, and died
on Tuesday noon, January =. Thus all
their children were swept away IN one
.hor, week. II was 8 sad Christmas
season, indeed.

To the Editors of the Register:
A person writing over different nc
tious signatures, has several times sp-
pe,red in the columns OF the RIGuTRR
indirectly sssailing our Christian institu-
tons. At one time We fnd him attack
ing the Christian Sabbath, at another
moo,ing the vexed question OF the Bible
in the schools, and now, third time, op-
posing the practice OF opening the
meetings of the teachers 1850
cia ion with prayer. The public
vii. ind no difficulty in identifying this
person "a German nationalist so-csllea;
AID In all probability, as appears from
his last nom de plume, 8 teacher OF Ger.
ursn in our public schools-
1t lie well understood that large por-
ton Of our population were from
the first opposed to the intro
duction of German teaching into the
public schools, and even now its contin-
usnce exists merely by q kind OF suffer
ance which is almost unaccouhtaolei for
il is well known TO those who are best
acquainted with the working Of the plan,
that 1t is almost practically useless, II not
absolutely hurtiul in II general effects.
1t is supported By heavy tax upon the
public at large, without ahy suitable
equivalent. And now, j: would seem,
that this German teaching Is to be used
as leverage, by those who are scarcely
warm in their nests, in making assaults
upon our long established and fondly
cherished educational and religious insti-
tions. We shall not attempt TO chsrsc-
terize such conduct in the language
which 1t deserves, but will simply say
that, rs we regard it, the Teachers Asso-
cation, which is, IN great measure,
self. controlling body, should make TINS
writers late communication subject OF
Investigation.
Again, as the Board of Education took
this young pet elephant OF German
teaching under its special guardianship
q few wears ago, and rs is now believed,
would now be heartily glad to get rid OF
it; and as the said Board is suspected OF
being entirely too modest TO practice any
such moral heroism rs that Of making
serious effort in this direction, 1t may be
wise to inquire whether 1t would not be
expedieut Tor the legislature now in SEES
sion toappoint special committee in re.
gard to this German teaching, and to re-.
por, accordingly, in order that such leg
islation may be had on the subject rs
may be deemed proper.
