woMES's RIGHTS.

The National Woman's Rights Association
held its annual meeting in the city, Thurs
day last. These meetings used to be very
large and enthusiastic, but the interest in
them has perceptibly declined. This year
Masonic Hall was not ..one-quarter full, and
it was hard work to get up any steam at all.
Isabella Beecher Hooker was there, and so,
likewise, Blake, and Austin, Lozier and the
regular stand-bys. They were all more an
gular, more shrewish, more petulant and
more waspish than ever. The usual papers
were read, and the usual resolutions adopted,
and the ancient women dispersed, probably
never to meet again. Ten years ago these
same women were petted and made much of,
and they don't understand why they are not
now. They are better developed, intellectu-
ally, than they were, and better fitted to
grapple with grave questions. The poor old
girls don't seem to understand that all this
is precisely what is not wanted. Men don't
want women who can ''grapple" with ques-
tons great or small. And then they must
remember that pretty little lessay read by
girlish woman, with round figure. nice hair
and bright eyes, is quite another thing from
learned speech delivered by an angular te-
male, with no hair to speak OF and with eyes
behind severe glasses. If the suifragists eX-
pect to again get the public ear. they must
I axe it through the eye, and put pretty young
" omen on the platform.

\ marked feature in the singing was the
union and perfect accord kept by the sing

the fifty voices were concentrated in one

OF Mr.. Toby whose fine, rich tones were dis
played IN the singing of the song, Song of

and applause of all who ieard him.
The duets, quartot=. and q ltet@, were

richly deserved. The touchn song. "Out
in the cold was sung by Mr. George
Walker with voice full of tenderness and
feeling. Inc instrumental quartet was
given by Mrs. Walker, Messrs. Chase, Ship
man and Craven. Mrs. Walker presided at
the piano. and displayed artistic skill of a
high order. adding much to her former
good reputation; and tho three gentlemen
named have already gained an cnviablc rem

suffice to say Tor them that they were true
to the good names they bear.
Miss Nellie Ohcr is no longer a stranger

singing of "Carina' found for her place
amongst the people of Wnooski. where she
will be ever kindly remembered and warmly
received. Considering the many difficulties
which it has encountered since its organizl-
ton in this place, the Union has more than
surpassed the expectation of those who
have taken an interest in its welfare, and
now our only desire Is that it may continue

JUpGE SHIrHAS. of Connecticut, last week
sentenced John c. Tracy to six years, and
James L. Chapman to five years imprison-
ment in the State prison. Tracy was the
president and Chapman the cashier of the
Farmers and Mechanics National Bank, of
Hartford. They were both regarded as up
right, honorable and skilful men of bust
ness. The bank was supposed to have been
well managed, and prosperous. But it be-
came embarrassed, and on investigation
there was found to be a deficit of nearly
S600,000. Mr.. Tracy at first endeavored to
account for this by the explanation that he
had made large loans on inadequate security
to personal friends, with no intention of
fraud, but confident that the money would
be repaid. But as the investigation proceed
ed this defence became untenable. 1t was
proved that the funds of the bank had been
embezzled. the accounts lalsifcd, and the
controller Of the currency deceived by fraud
ulent and periured statements. The two
guilty officers were indicted the evidence
was too clear al ample to leave hope Of
successful defence. and theyirleaded guilty,
and were sentenced a. above. We know

were led from tie straight path of safety

NEW YORK, May &c, 1877.
To the Editor of the Free Press and Times;
CRIME AMONG WOMEN.
The removal OF sixty-eight female convicts
from the prison at Sing Sing, to the Brooklyn
Reform Prison was curious and instructive
sight. When woman does get b.. she is
as much worse than man as possible The
women were marched to boat and their
profanity was something wonderful. Their
first exploit was an attempt to drown an OBJ
noxious officer, which they nearly succeeded
in doing, and they sailed away singing the
most horrible travestied ct the most sacred
hymns. One woman of sixty, named FL
ki-s is the mother of eight children, all of
whom are at this time in prison, and there
has never been time since the youngest
was ten that five Of them have not been in
confinement at the same time. The old Lady
was. III her youth pickpocket, and the most
skillful one in the city, but of late years her
fingers lost their nimbleness, and she has
confined her attention to shop-Gfting. The
little freedom of the boat. reused all the old
enthusiasm. How l wish l was out. she

CerrO Colorado Mining COmpany's
 Affairs

We have a letter from San Francisco of date September 27, which says: On the 2d of October, the stockholders of the Cerro Colorado Mill and Mining Company will hold their annual meet ing. The company's affairs have been at stand still for the past six months, owing to the suspension of the Nation al Bank of Missouri at St. LouIs. Par ties had subscribed and paid into this bank $l00,O00 for the purpose of for warding a splendid 25-stamp mill to the mines, and the company is waiting the resumption of payments by the bank. The company hopes to make arrangements with San Francisco par ties to pay the freight on the mill to its destination and set it a-going.
 In this connection, we have heard from other sources that there are par ties in San Francisco who have favor ably considered the proposition to bring the mill from St. Louis and put it up and a-going.

Supreme Court Decision Regard
 ing n SherIR-s Deed.

WASHINGTON, September 21.-Jus tice Davis, in the Supreme Court, has just submitted an opinion in full in the case of Wm. F. and Lucy B. White plaintiffs in error, agalnst Nicholas Luning, San Francisco. Luning be came possessed of the property Tn dis. pute by foreclosure on a mortgage giv. en by the Whites, who sought to recov. CT on the ground that no tltle passed to Luning by reason of mis-description in the sheriff's deed.
 The validity of the deed was affirmed on the ground that where the descrip- tion in a deed is true in part, but not true in every particular, so much of il as is false is rejected, and the instru. ment will take effect if sufficient of the description remains to ascertain its ap- plication."

Furnishing Cattle Thieves i'm Kan.

ST. LOUIS, September 24-A special from Leavenworth says: A private let ter received from Fort Ellis, Kansas gives an account of fight between cat. tie thieves and party of pursuers in Cheyenne county, Kansas, some days ago. It seems that large number of cattle have been stolen during the past summer, and it was finally determined by herders and owners to put a stop to it, and make an example of the thieves. It Is said some seven hundred cattle were run off from western Kansas and Colorado by party of twelve robbers, who started north with them. A party of fifteen Rangers, splendidly armed and mounted, started Tn pursuit Al ter hard ride of five days they came upon the thieves Tn the extreme north. western part of Kansas, and surround ed them when at supper and killed sev- en Of them. The Rangers hung anoth- CT to tree, and recovered all their cat tie. None of the Rangers were hurt, the surprise being so complete that the robbers had no chance to return the fire or make any resistance.

Mars Satellites Known IoO Years

The New York Times recently had 6 column article entitled Justice to Gul liver" Tine writer gives many reasons why the tales of Gulliver should be be lieved, and among them refers to the fact that the satellites of Mars, which the astronomers claim to have recently discovered, were reported by Gulliver Referring to volume of Gulliver, wt find in his account of his voyage to La puta, the following regarding the La putian astronomers:
 They spend the greater part of their lives in observing the celestial bodies, which they do by the assistance of glass es, far exceeding ours Tn goodness. For although their largest telescopes do not exceed three feet, they magnify much more than those of hundred with us, and show the stars with great CT clearness. This advantage hath en- abled them to extend their discoveries much farther than our astronomers in Europe; for they have made catalogue of ten tho lsand fixed stars, whereas the largest of ours do not contain above One-third part of that number They have likewise discovered two lesser stars, or satellites, which revolve about Mars, whereof the innermost is distant from the centre of the primary planet exactly three of his dlameters, and the Outermost. five; the former revolves in the space of ten hours, and the latter in twenty-one and half; so that the squares of their periodical times are very near in the same proportion with the cubes of their distance from the centre of Mars, which evidently shows them to be governed by the same law of gravitation that influences the other heavenly bodies.
 Now, inasmuch as "GulliYer's Tray els" was published in 1727, it will be seen that some accurate guessing was done at that time by the author, (Dean Swift,) else the satellites of Mars, of whose discovery there has lately been so much said 10 the credit of our as- tronomers, were known to exist at least one hundred and fifty years ago.

THE London Lancet calls attention to the danger there is of the spread of infectious diseases by means of laun- dries. A visit to the homes of several washerwomen revealed many painful facts. In one instance, where small pox was in the house, blankets were washed and returned to gentleman's house, and table-cloths and napkins to the keeper of restaurant Thus, |" remarks the Lancet, "even at our meals, if we escape being poisoned by our cook, We may catch smallpox from our table-linen."

CHARLES ALEXANDER has placed at our disposal the returns from a sale of mohair, which will be interesting to many. The average price received was 471@ cents per pound, which, after allowing cents for charges, leaves a net of 411@ cents. The best wool brought 8715 cents and the poorest 16. Mir. Alexander is confident that when his goats shall have attained higher grade ia somewhat gradual matter, as the finer breeds of Angora goats are still very costly) they will be able 10 produce from four to six pounds of the finer wool each. As the animals are very hardy and take kindly to even the poorest pastures, it will be seen that the raising of mohair can be made very profitable. From four to live years will suffice for the breeding of very superior grade of animals from the common goat, especially if full-bloOded stock is added from the start.-RuSsian River Flag.
