NEW HAMPSHIRE'S LATEST TRAGEDY,

In Dorchester, on Wednesday last
In domestic quarrel, Mrs. Nathaniel S,
DOW lost her lie. Tue direct author OF
the mischief was James G. Jesseman.
the husband Of Mrs. Dow, and, although
only twenty-three years old, rufiau OF
the most brutal sort. His vile had sen.
arated from him on account of his abu Sc
and was living with Mrs. Dow, and both
women had been for some time In lear
OF their lives from Jesseman's thres ats,
Last Wednesday Jesseman came to the
house, where the sisters were alone, and
the quarrel opened, Jesseman begin
ming by knocking Mrs. Dow down. Ac-
cordlng to the report Of a neiYhbor, the
only outside witness, Mrs. Dow went
into the house and returned with a re.
yolver, and she and Mrs. Jesseman fired
several shots at the husband and brother.
none OF them taking effect. Finally
Mrs. Dow took the pistol from her sis
ters hand, when a report was heard and
Mrs. Dow staggered Iuto the house with
a bullet in her abdomen. The first sun
position was that this shot was acci

A Massachusetts Irishman has his honest
doubts on the uppermost theological ques-
ton. His wife died recently, and
meeting friend on the street, he said, de-
spondingly: 'Well, the old woman is
gone" Where ?" asked the sympathizing
friend, who had not heard of her decease,
Il don't know, but she is dead, any how
said Patrick.
A little ive-year-old fellow came up tc
his mother the other morning, and with
great eamestness, said: "Mother, | saw
something run across the kitchen floor this
morning, and it hadn't any legs, either;
what do you suppose it was?" Tie mothers
curiosity was excited at the apparent
strangeness of the supposed animal, and not
knowing what else to say, she said she sup
posed it was worm, or something of that
sort, she did not know what. Having for
sometime enjoyed his mothers inability to
solve bis problem, he said: 1T was some

D1sFRANCHIsING THE MoRMoNs.

There is a bill now before Congress
the purpose OF which is to virtually dis
franchise the Mormons. 1t provides for
a secret ballot, repeals the act OF the
Territorial Legislature granting suffrage
to women, and denies to any polygamst
the right to patronize the ballot-box.
This bill is an insult to the tender sex.
Ii it was premeditated its author should
be brought to trial on the charge of pro-
voking innumerable breaches OF the
peace, and he should be tried by jury
of mothers-in-law who, if not, technl-
oally speaking, his peers, as the Consti-
ton requires, would be more than his
peers, and therefore extra Constitu-
tionaI, instead OF unconstitutional. But
this is a question for the courts to de-
eide. This dislranchislng women who
have once been enfranchised and have
become accustomed to it, is of itself re-
voting to all our preconceived notions
of justice and vested rights. When it
Is proved that women on the
average sling the ballot IN
judiciOusly and regardless Of
moral and constitutional conse-
quences, the tyrannical enemies OF
"Woman's Rights" may bark for repeal
and disiranchisement But no such
peint has yet been raised against the
efforts heretofore made in Wyoming and
Utah Territories to introduce panta-
lets and petticoats into politics.
Women, as ballot-boxers, have as a gen
eral thing proved to be judicious and
conservative. The fear that they would
prove merely tea-party politicians mas
proved unfounded. They rise above
the vaporous aroma of souchOng and
Ooiong when duty calls.
What makes this bill still more OBJ
hoxious is that it proposes also to dis
franchise men-that is, all that class of
men who have appropriated to them
selves an unusual allowance OF wives.
This OF course means, il 1t means any
thing, that the so-called softer sex are
to be deprived Of their privilege OF Sc.
lection or election-that they are not TO
be permitted to wed the fractional part
OF man without thereby dIstranchising
him. Since the days OF Lord Bacon ii has
been an accepted axiom that the fraction
OF a whole man is Of far more value than
the whole OF Il fractional man.

Among the persons who patronizs a
boarding house in Fifth street, above
Grand Division, is a young man named
John j. Stubens, from New York city, who
is employed as shipping clerk in a whole
sale store on River street One night John
entered his boarding house about 10
O'clock, and shortly after repaired to his
room and retired for the night. During
the passing hours he woke to find that a
window had been left open and that the
cold nir was rendering the apartment un-
comfortable. He arose from the bed to
close the open window, turning the gas
slightly up meanwhile. On one side of the
window there hung O small framed portrait
of the young mans father. John ON clos
ing the window, stepped to the gas jet to
diminish the light before again entering his
bed. He had just time to note that the
hands indicated II o'clock exactly when
the portrait before spoken of slipped from
its nail and fell 10 the floor face downward.
This happened when the young man was at
least FIVE feet from the picture, but it did
not surprise him greatly, he supposing that
the jar occasioned by the shutting of the
window had moved ii from it's place.
After rehanging the portrait he again
sought his bed. In the morning he
descended to the breakfast room and
received telegram. On breaking the seal
he information was conveyed to him that
hat morning at u O'clock his father died
at his home ip New York.-1roy Observer.
