THIRTY-THREE YEARS IN A Dun
GEON.-A woman has lately been found
in a secluded cave near Udino, in Italy,
who has been imprisoned thirty-three
years. In 1874 she became attached to
an Austrian officer, but her father,
violent hater of the Austrians, who, at
that time, were in possession of that
part of Italy where he resided, refused
his consent to a marriage. The girl
stated that she would then marry with
out his permission. He then dissimu-
lated his anger, and, during a walk in
which he accompanied her, he induced
her to descend into the cave with him
by means of a rope ladder, with a view
of examining it. He was the first to
ascend to the surface, and, Withdrawing
the ladder, left her. She was kept regu-
larly supplied with food and clothing.
AT her fathers death, her sister, whose
hatred toward the Austrians was equally
great, continued the imprisonment. The
Unfortunate woman, on her liberation,
had complexion of death-like pallOr,
caused by the darkness in which she
had long lived, and her voice had de-
parted, through constant cries during
the early part of her sequestratiOn for
help. She could speak only in a hoarse
whisper,

Equal Rights.

The Denver Tribune, in speaking of
the dissatisfaction of Republicans, re-
garding the Southern question and the
desire of some Republican papers to
originate new issues, very wisely re-
marks: "The Republican party has a
good and substantial fundamental phil
osophy-the philosophy of equal rights" !"
We would ask of the Tribune, as an ex-
pOnent of Republican principles, if it
this fundamental philosophy Z?
If it claims to do this, then we would
ask what it would have its readers to
understand the definition OF equal rights
to be? There is very important issue
now before the people of Colorado, an
issue which, in the opinion of its advo-
Gates, embraces these principles of this
fundamental philosophy in its truest,
brOadest, and grandest sense. The prin-
ciple of equal rights in Republican
form of government must mean the
rights of all its people to life, liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness, if it means
anything. This important issue before
the people of Colorado involves the
question whether these rights shall be
granted to all its people or delegated to
certain class.
The legislature of that State has sub
mitted a proposition for the considera-
tion of its citizens which asks them to
say whether or not they are willing
that all its people shall have and enjoy
the principles and rights of an Ameri-
can government, to determine whether
the right of suffrage in that State shall
be universal, or delegated to favored
sex.
We are watching our Colorado ex-
changes to see which side of this issue
the press is taking, and if the Tribune
claims to espOuse the cause of a party
which bases its fundamental philosophy
upon the broad grounds of equality, we
would ask which side of this vital ques-
tion it proposes to advocate. AS yet,
we have found nothing in its columns
which would satisfy us that it has taken
the side of the party now labOring to
secure equal rights to all the people OF
that State.

Some of our contemporaries have had
a dispute as to the value of the dia-
monds in Miss Nelson's ears, and Mr..
Zacharias, the man of whom they were
purchased, thOughtfully explains that
they would be cheap at ten Thousand
dollars, but neglects to say how much
he got for them. The discussion is in
such admirable bad taste, is so ex-
ceedingly silly and ineffably vulgar,
that we hasten to engage in it. The
value of the stones in Miss NELSON'S
ears must be arrived at by computation.
Assuming that the value of the head be-
tween them is a certain sum, and that
the ears are somewhat inferior in scope
and spread to the prodigious auricles
that adorn the journalistic pate, we
have two factors of the problem from
which to infer the third. The actual So
luton we leave to the gifted idiots oil
the daily press.-ArgORdut

A NEW EMPLOYMENT FOR WOMEN
English women have secured a new
ground of vantage in their struggle
with men in daily mpetitioDfor the
bread of life. 1t is hardly to be consid-
cred longer as an experiment that wOm-
en- are employed as clerks in railway
stations. So successful has the expert
ment proved in the cases where it has
been tried, that other roads are now
employing women as ticket-sellers, and
the change will probably become gen.
eral. If women will fill the require
ments of the situation as well as men;
if they are as quick to accommodate
ticket-buyers, and are as accurate in
making change; if they are as genial
and accommodating (?) in answering
questions of the travelling bores as the
men; if, in general, they tend as much
to rapid dispatch, corporate dignity and
general attraetiveness as men, certainly
they should be allowed to compete.
Further, it may with all justice be said
that they should realize as good wages
as the men whose places they take, but
this will not happen if we judge by
other professions. The crowd of women
to the new place, and the traditional
idea that it is a mans work, will tend
to keep mems wages up and to force
wOmen's wages down. But it is move
forward. Adjustments within the new
competing line will be slow, and will
come only after much injustice and agi-
tatiOn.

Governor Chamberlain's marriage
with a Washington lady, seven or eight
years ago, brought him more directly to
the notice OF those here, particularly as
his wife enjoyed a well-deserved fame
for great beauty, and as the beautiful
Miss IngersoIl" was looked to as the
fairest of the fair at the Capital. She
had one of those sweet picture faces, and
not of the insipid type, but face of
perfect oval, with large gray eyes of the
order 'Irish lake." and features just
enough of a compromise between the
regular and the nondescript to be
piquante; add to this a complexion of
lilies and roses, a slight, graceful figure
and wealth of golden hair, which she
always wore so as to display its natural
waviness most charmingly, and you
have tout ensemble which all might
