A Woman Suffrage Triumph.

The ladies can now rejoice; they have
a substantial decision in favor of their
political rights which cannot helI being
of great use to them in future discus
sion. The Supreme Court of Iowa has
decided that they can hold certain OFF,
ces-nOt by virtue of any special law,
but because there is nothing iR the Con-
stitttiOR aObich says they shall not. This
is great point gained.
The case in which the decision was
made was that of Cook vs.. HUFF. Two
years ago Miss Elizabeth S. Cook was
elected superintendent of schools in
Warren county, Iowa-a fine, rich
county, with college and excellent
schools. Her opponent was John A.
Huff, who was beaten by large major
ity, but he adopted the tactics lately
made famous by Mr.. Cronin, of Oregon.
He claimed that Miss Cook was ineligi-
ble on account of sex, and that he, hav-
ing the next highest number of votes,
was entitled to the Office.
The Circuit Court before which the
case was brought decided adversely to
both parties; to Miss Cook because she
was a woman, and to HUFF because a
majority of the votes cast were against
him.
Miss Cook appealed to the Supreme
Court. In the meantime, the Legisla-
ture had passed law authorizing wom-
en- to hold the office of county superin-
tendent, and providing further that the
question of sex should not be held to
disqualify any who had been elected to
the Office.
The Supreme Court rendered its de-
cision on the question last week, re-
versing the case of Cook VS.. Huff aud
and holding that Miss Cook is entitled
to the office, without regard to the law
passed in 1873, on the ground that there
Is nothing in the Constitution prohibit
ing it. As to the retroactive part of the
law, which legalized the elections aud
acts of others who had held the office,
the Court held that the Legislature had
power to pass such a law, or, in other
words, there being 10 inhibition to the
Constitution against women holding the
office, and the Legislature having the
power to have authorized their election
at any time, it was therefore Competent
now to do what it had power to DO be-
fore. The law was therefore constitu-
tioual.
This decision is regarded as establish
ing the right of women to hold auy Of
lice in the State, in which the word
person" is used iu the law creating aud
defining its duties. This will include
everything except that of members of
the Legislature aud Judges of the Su-
preme COurt.-IOiedO Blade.

Mrs. Darbigne's OhemilOOn.

Mr.. Darbigne didn't go home until
very late Saturday night, and when he
reached his domicile he let himself in
with latch-key, and stole softly up
stairs so as not to disturb his family
A night lamp was burning in his room,
and Mrs. Darbigne was sleeping sweetly.
AS he was removing his coat, Mr.. Dar-
Oigne suddenly stood still, frozen, rooted
TO the spot with horror sublime and
rage. Then he fell on his knees, and
holding his hands toward the ceiling,
shrieked:
"Oh, Heaven, have mercy on this dis
honored house," and then sprang to his
feet, yelling, "Villain villain villain!
your life or minem
Mrs. Darbigne sprang up in bed,
screaming, "What is it? Oh, mercy,
mercy madman, what is it ?"
Aud the children i'll the adjoining
room woke, and sbrieked and hOwled
and wept in piteOus terror, while Mr..
Darbigne charged round and round the
room, with revolver in his hand, div
Ing into the closet, plunging under the
Ued, upsetting furniture, chasing Mrs.
Darbigne out of his sight, and calling
on his innocent babies to fling them
selves out of the windows and save their
lives from misery aud shame, pre-
ventative that the babies did not take
to very kindly, preferring to huddle up
in the middle of their bed and yell. The
upruar aroused the neighbOrs; they
kicked in the front door aud rushed up
stairs and seized the ravlng Mr.. Dar-
Oigne, pounding him on the head with
a chalr-leg aud wrestling his revolver
from his reckless grasp, and then they
demanded explanations.
"Find him Tor me-" said Mr.. Dar-
Oigne. "Set me face to face with the
villain anu pll drink his hearts blood 1!
Oh, madness, madness! Oh, shame /!
shame! shame! Find him for me or
kill me. He's in this house this very
minute"
"Who?" they all yelled. "Who is
he ?"
"Yes," walled poor Mrs. Darbigne,
who had hurriedly dressed herself in a
log cabin quilt; "Who in heavens
uame, who ?"
"Oh, oh, oh ~ yelled Mr.. Darbigne
You hear her, men, you hear this per
fidIOus woman? Who? here" !" he
shrieked, pointing with his trembling
fingers, while the words shot like fiery
arrows from his pale and foam-hecked
lips. "Here! The man who wore those
trousers !!
All eyes looked toward the chair on
which they hung, aud then with one
wild, heaven-piercIng yell of laughter,
the crowd of neighbors let go of Mr.
Darbigne and Went tumOling over each
other down stairs, bowling III derisiOu,
and splitting the midnight air with
roars of unextInguishable laughter
The children who had troOped into the
room went giggling on to bed, and Mrs
Darbigne, tlInglng herself on the pillow,
screamed Historically:
"Oh, Darby, Darby! Marmaduke,
you'll kill me yet; L know you Will !!
Oh, you old FOOL Crawl into bed Oh,
you senseless idiot, that's my chemi-
loon r'-DaR6ury NeIOS.

The Season and Zone of Homes,

One stronger reason than all others
for being glad that We live in the tenn
perate zone, is that it is the zone of
homes.
Greenlanders and Laplanders, it is
said, each consider their own country
the fairest the sun shines upon, and
charming stories of domestic life have
come to US from these icy latitudes.
But the Esquimaux and Kamschatkans,
and those Inhabitants of extreme Arctic
regions who must live in snow-huts, or
Ourrow underground for warmth, cannot
know the rich and tender meanings the
word "home" has for US.
How much comfort there is in our
cosy houses alOne-in the clean, warm
room, perhaps with a glowing fireside;
the white table spread with wholesome
and delicate food; the cheerful circle
around the lamp at evening; the books,
the sewing, the games; the sound sleep
Of the long, snowy night, in beds as
white as the drifts outside; and the
many other nameless blessings of a civ
Ilized home! These the children of the
eternal SHOWS must do without.
There is more poetry in really beau
tlful home-life than in the finest natural
scenery; but it lies too deep in the heart
for words to express. 1t is poetry that
is felt rather than spoken. A happy
home is poem which every one of the
family is helping to write, each for the
enjoyment of the rest, by little deeds of
tenderness and self-sacrifce, which
mean so much more than words. This
hOme-poem is all the more delightful
because it does not ask or need admira-
tion from anybody outside. The poetry
that people live in, of which they are a
part, and which is part of them, Is al
ways the most satisfactory, because it is
the most real.
Think, little folks, of all the poems
and fragments of poems you know, that
never could have been written except
in country where tempest and sleet
and long hours of darkness drove men
and women and children within doors,
aud kept them there to find out how
dear and sweet a thing it is for family
to live together in love.-,St. Nicholas,
The new Northwest. [volume] (Portland, Or.) 1871-1887, 1877-01-26

IRREvOCABLE LAW.-The money
monopoly and usury systems of the
world, in one hundred years, would re-
duce to starvation ninety in every hun
dred of mankind, if it were not that ma
ture fights the legitimate result by Civ
ing to the money-usurer prOhigate sons
to scatter what he has boarded. This
may be demonstrated by calculating
interest at current rates, compounded,
on existing capital and the increase
thereof, for hundred years. But ma
Cure humanely fights the barbarism of
society by cursiug the son with the
fathers sins, and thus mitigates the
evil. Society can never approach order
or decent civilization, until il is regarded
as a sin and a crime for a man to claim
or appropriate to himself that which he
did not produCe-to reap where he did
not sow. This must he understood and
applied literally and practically to life.
There can never be much advancement
among the working classes until all
classes become working classes, and
thus relieve the overWOrked, and give
them leisure for mental culture. AS it
Is, the so-called cultured classes regard
il as both honest aud pleasant, as well
as geuteel, to ride on the backs of the
So-called uncultured classes, which do
the worlds work.

IMMORTALITY.-NOth can be moro
sad than to see a woman like Harriet
Martineau or a man like Mr.. Ranney
going under the veil with the assurance
that there is nothing in them worthy of
immortality. 1t may he all very well
for person whose instincts are so re-
fined that dishOnOrable act would be
an impOssibility to talk about annihila-
LiOn, but the doctrine of future life is
d restraint which we can't well do with
out. The practical operation of the gen.
eral belief in Immortality on the moral
life of the community is greater than
we think. To die like a dog is an in
centive to live like one. To be nothing
hereafter is to be nothing here.-E1.

Ex-Presideut Wolsey of Yale College
delivered an address at New Haven,
few days ago, upon the use of the Bible
as a textbook in public schools. While
advocating the right and duty of the
State to educate the children in moral
duties in some form or other, he ques-
toned very strongly whether the formal
reading of the Scriptures did as much
good as to be justly regarded as essen
Lial. He thought the children were not
generally in state of mind to receive
instruction from it, and that "if any of
the Inhabitants of a school district
should object to its use for conscience
sake, he would grant every indulgence
consistent with school order, even to
permitting a lesson from some other
OOOk to be substituted in its placed
Herald.

NO STORY.

Again we are compelled to make the
above announcement. Why the manu-
script does not come to hand more
promptly we do not know; but it is per-
haps not strange, when the distance
which the author is from here is taken
into consideration. We regret, but are
unable to prevent, the break in the story.

WHAT IS TRUE HEROIsM ?-It is a
radically false notion to look only to
war for heroism. The truest courage,
perhaps, is that which fights the battle
of life under adverse circumstances, day
by day, month by month, year by year,
rather than that which rushes to an as
sault, or defends the imminent breach.
And of such herOism modern times are
full.-PhitadeLphia Ledger.
Nothing could be truer. The hod-
carrier who supports a family of eight
children and two dogs on a dollar a day,
and does it willingly, displays more
true heroism than is required to effect a
conquest on the battlefield. Gen. Bull
lion will face battery without blanch-
ing. Ask Bullion to face an unpaid
creditor four times a week, as TrOwel
the brlck-layer does, and Bullion would
grow low-splrited and take to poison in
a fortnight. The heroism of the battle
field is kept up by the bass drums, clar-
Ionets, and praise from the newspapers.
Such herOism may, or may not be, a
matter of principle, but there is no
questioning the courage required in the
pTosaic duties of life-the bringing up
of family by shedding perspiration al
the rate of 10 cents an hour.-InUesti-
gator.

A pitiful story is told of the efforts of
a poor Auburn girl to get an education.
She wished to go to the Portland, (Me. J
high school. She was very poor, anu
unable to pay her board in a strange
city, so she made an arrangement with
the proprietor of a clearinghouse to do
what she could to assist her, as payment
for board. Every morning she arose at
three O'Clock, got breakfast, then went
to school, and on her return cleared
away the dinner things, aud then pre-
pared the supper. After supper she
cleared up and did other hOusework.
The result was breakdown with ty-
phOid fever, and she was taken to the
hospital. There the matron discovered
that the poor girls clothing, while very
neat, consisted only of calico dress and
one cotton skirt. The girl, as soon as
she is we'll enough, will go home to an
aunt in Auburn, who will keep her till
she can again eudeavor to support her
self.

SELLING SNAILS.-A tourist describes
the sale of snails in the town of TrivOli,
near Rome, as a source of much profit
to the peasants of that district in rainy
weather, when this curious edible is
abundant in the olive groves. The fla
vor is pronounced delicious, more so
than scallops or oysters. When artisti
cally cooked, the reluctant foreigner
does not long decline this much de-
spised crustacea. The cooked snail is
further said to possess the quality of re-
storing tone to the coating of the stom-
ach when badly injured by strong drink.
