The Week.

A proposal to reduce the week from
seven days to five, and, further. to rename
the days, comes from Australia. Mr.. H
+. Rusden, the author of this scheme
enupciates his view in n paper on the
week in the last volume of the 'Transac
tons Of the Royal Society of Victoria, y
where he expresses the opinion that while
reducing the number of the days in the
week it would be good opportunity to
discard the present Pagan names, and to
substitute Oueday, Twoday, Thre.day
snd Fourday for them-Surday to be
called GoOdday. The author is very san.
guine AZ to the success of his proposal,
and answers the plea OF impracticability
with the remark that ''the week itself was
actually altered by the Romans, Greeks
and many other people; and in fact as
there is no record of any attempt to alter
the week havirg ever failed, the allega-
ton of .impracticability is so far proved
TO be utterly baseless.

A PREDICTION OF 1S70.-More than
six years ago we predicted in New York
journal-of which we were then special
correspOndent-that within ten years
women would vote. Rather more than
half the time has elapsed, and this pre-
dictiOn has been largely verified. Wom-
en- haze voted and held office. In Wy
Oming the right of suffrage has been
freely exercised by women, and in
many other States the rights of women
have materially advanced. In England,
with all the efforts now making, there
is not the slightest doubt but that wom-
an will soon have equal right of suffrage
with man, If she aUantS 1t. We have al
ways favored it-believing that it is a
right that inheres to the Individual
right that no law has moral power to
either give or take away. But having
thus reiterated our belief, will our kind
friends permit us to add, that not alone
in the ballot for women rests the vital
issues of the day. Suffrage is only one
of many methods by which the advance
ment of our sex is to be secured and re-
tained-Ed. WOnlaR'S Words.

ner, and certainly possesses the faculty
of making each one feel perfectly at
home. Ten years have told in some de-
gree upon her. While she converses with
as much animation as ever, yet Father
Time has laid his hand upon her and
apparently subdued somewhat the exu-
berance of spirits which made her then
the life of our party, and whether from
cares of State or the queting influence
OF age she seems now much more the
staid matron than ten years ago. Doubt
less not one of our pleasant New Or
leans party dreamed that the quiet and
dignified member Of Congress, Mr..
Hayes, would, with his fascinating wife,
occupy in the near future the White
House, and be the arbiter of the desti-
MES of the very people whose hOspitali-
ties we were accepting, and last night
it was difficult to realize the fact. In
the morning of the 10Th of October, 1864,
when at Cedar Creek the rebels were
driving US like so many sheep, Colonel
Hayes passed me in the confusion and l
could not repress the wish that he might
be spared from death. Not as a soldier,
for as soldier his life was plumed on
his sleeve to be plucked off by any rebel
bullet, and was therefore of no more
worth than that of any other soldier,
but because he was member of Con-
gress and the country needed his servi-
ces in the future rather than his life in
the present. But little did dream that
out of that battle would come the chief
magistrate of our nation. We felt then
that our defeat would insure McClellan's
election, and that the country would
need the presence in Congress of her
truest patriots, hence my wish Colonel
Hayes might escape death. The same
power that gave us victory that event
full day has carried US safely through all
our troubles, and now 1 am no more ap-
prehensive of the nations future under
Mr.. Hayes than then under Mr.. Lin
coin, whom all knew to be all that any
patriot could desire. FELIX.

An AbsurditY Well Set Forth.

The following is from the St. Louis
Democrat:
In Missouri, where woman is more
highly valued than in Massachusetts,
in consequence of the greater scarcity of
the article, woman is, by legislative
concession, allowed to own the clothes
she wears. But she must not abuse her
privilege. If she be a single woman,
and have no other comfort than in her
wearing apparel, she may not only own
her clothes, but she may even sell them,
bequeath them or give them away
such tender consideration hath the law
for the rights of woman. But it would
be mOnstrous to allow woman to own
a husband and dress at the same time,
aud a married woman, though she may
indeed call herself the owner of those
vanities on which her heart is set, may
not hequeath them nor otherwise dis
pose of them without her husbands con-
sent. We do not know whether the
law would interfere with that weakness
of the feminine mind which prompts
the housewife to exchange worn but ser
viceable garments for chinaware mantel
ornaments, but we know that the SOL
emn Legislature of Missouri is now
SIdNely utDdIluS ulll W dllOW IudIIltu
women the privilege of bequeathing
their personal effects, a privilege not
yet enjoyed. The position of woman
under the law is, since the abolition of
slavery, the last relic of barbarism, and
it is not likely that the present genera
ton will see her in possession of all
those natural rights which are denied
her only by the intolerance of stupid
prescription. But we might allow heI
to own her clothes, which she does not
own in Massachusetts, and we might
even allow her to bequeath them, which
she cannot do under the existing statutes
of Missouri. Our liberties are now SC
safely secured that they may confidently
be relied on to stand the moderate shock
of these concessions, and after they are
made, the satirists may be able to make
their points more acutely and aim theil
shafts with better show of judgment.
