The Republicans offered factious opposition,
but Mr. Hale moved n substitute, reciting that in

Mr.. Halc's substitute was adopted. This WAS owing
to the absences on the Democratic side, the Re-

WAsHNGToN. Jan. 10.-The advocates Of wo-
man suffrage, who are holding conven
ton in tins city, showed much zeal in
uushiug their campaign for freedom" to-day. They
repaired 10 the Capitol early IN the morning
and they srcnt the day there dscr sing in public
and private their plan Of operations and making
personal appeals TO Senators and Representatives.
First they held meeting Of their Convention IN the
ladies' rcccption-room Of the Senate the proceedings
being similar III character to those held in Lincoln
Hall yesterday and to-day.
At twelve o'clock tho delegates and those who
svmpathizcd with them, accompanied by many who
were attracted By curiosity, went into the Senate
galleries 10 witness the presentation OF resolution
that had been prepared 10 allow the advocates OF
woman suffrage 10 present their petitions in person
at the bar of the Senate and make arguments
in their behalf. The champion Of the women was
Senator Sargent. The resolution was opposed
by Senators Edmunds aud Howe, who drew a
graphic picture of the troubles tho Senate would get
itself into 1t violated all precedcnts and allowed
people TO advocate their pet measures before the
Senate instead of in the committee-rooms. call
for the regular order by Senator Edmunds put II
stop 10 the discussion in the morning hour but sub
sequently just before the adjournment this evening,
Mr. Sargcnts resolution was overwhelmingly de-
feated
In the House similar resolution was offered by
Judge VIM ID. Kelley, but its immediate considera-
ton was objected to by Mr.. Crttendcn, of Missouri.
The members of the Woman's Convention
remained in the ladies' reception room of
the Senate and about the lobbies near
ly all the afternoon. Nearly every scna-
tor was sent for. and the cause
presented to him with an I'D hOmincB argument, and
the power Of personal persuasion fully tried.
few Senators did not respond. but they had TO suffer
if they ventured into the lobbics. AZ soon as they
made their appearance they were pounccd upon, and
generally dld not escape until they had heard what
the women had 10 say.
Mr.. Conkling's experience was very funny. AS
he was passing through the lobby he was sur
rounded by about dozen women. Hoping 10 es-
cape. he turned first to one side, then to
the other, only to find the pathway
blocked by some jealous advocate of woman
suffrage. just as he about TO resign himself TO
his fate Vice-lresident Wheeler passed through the
lobby. and when the women stepped aside to allow
him 10 pass Mr. Conkling seized the opportunity to
slip through the pathway that was opened for him
and to get safely inside the Senate doors.
The advocates of woman suffrage gained nothing
by their personal appeals TO Senator's and Reprcsen
tatives. People never do when they make bores OF
themselves.

Small Boy on the Eagle.


The American eagle Is the largest
and powerfulest bird In the world.
but he is smaller than the ostrich,
which is more of horse thar q
bird. The eagle is very proud
bird, and don't go round eatin'
worms and caterplllers, and diggiu'
up tomato plants like hen docs,
but he flies through the air with its
wings, and sometimes swallers little
children which is very sad. The
eagle lives sometimes to be a hun
5red years old which is a long time
to live. Hicky Bartlett's sister is
an old maid, and she is as old as an
eagle, anil she gets awful mad when
the fellers call her an old steak
broiler. There Is several kinds of
eagles, but the United States eagle
is the boss bird, and can baste
blazes out of any bird that ever
growed in Europe, Asia or Africy.

To-Morrow.


Tomorrow never comes to us
We do not live in tomorrow. We
do not find it in any title deed
The man who owns the whole
blocks of real estate and the great
ships on the sea does not own a sin
gle minute of tomorrow! 1t is a
mysterious possibility not yet born.
1t lies under the seal of midnight,
behind the veil of glittering constel
lations.
Enjoy the present, whatever it
may be, and be not solicitous of the
future; if you take your foot from
your present standing, and thrust it
forward to tomorrow event, you
are in restless condition. 1t is
like refusing TO quench your thirst
by fearing you should want, your
sorrow will come time enough,
though you do not hasten it. Let
your trouble tarry till its own day
comes. Enjoy blessings if God
sends them, and the evils of it bear
and sweetly for this day
is ours.
We are dead to yesterday, and
not yet born to to morrow.

What it Costs to Take a Paper.

Can anyone, after reading the fol
lowing, plead that he is too poor to
take a paper, that he cannot afford
it; II costs less than half a cent a
day TO take q weekly paper; less
than e diligent hen would earn in a
month at the market price OF eggs
less than a cigar q fortnight and a
very cheap one at that; less than
the barber would charge by the
year to get ones hair trimmed /;
less than good sized Christmas
turkeys; less than an energetic
kitchen girl will waste in a week.
A penny a day can be saved in
many a better way than stopping
your paper.-BGHneT.

The Hebrews of New York.

The united Hebrew charities OF
New York expend $4,000 annually
for the support of the poor. Mayor
Ely recently made the statement
that while the Jews form fourteen
per cent, of the population Of that
city shey contribute less than one
per cent, TO the criminal classes.
Out of 5000 persons in the various
public institutions, only thirty
three are Jews. There is a common
opinion that the jew possesses the
magic art of securing wealth, but it
will be found that the only secret of
his prosperity consists in his "geni-
us for patience, courage, diligence,
economy and consecration of earn
lngs to the comfort and elevation OF
his family" 1t is a secret with
which il would be well for the rest
OF us to become more familiar.

Death Rate in Various Occupations.

Nobody doubts that the occupa-
tion of an individual has much 10 do
with his general health, and with
his chances of death. Statistics
prove that the death rate is lowest
among scientists and professional
men-not physicians; then follow
Protestant clergymen, engineers,
farmers and laborers; next carpen-
ters, machinists, and workers in
iron; then come schoolmasters, to-
bacconists. physicians, and fipally
the clergy OF the Roman Catholic
Church, among whom the mortality
is much greater than among the
Protestant clergy and the other pro-
fessions named. Next we have
druggists and butchers, then miners
and glass manufacturers, plumbers
and coppersmiths, railway employees
and dock laborers, and last of all
carmen, cabmen, hCrse-keepers and
inn-keepers, among whom the NOR
tality is greatest, and much more
than double that of the first men
toned occupation.
The deductions which may he |
drawn from these facts are very in
structive and practically useful;
they prove that the quiet pursuits
of science tend to prolong life as
well as outdoor labor, provided it is
not on railways or among shipping
of horses; that to work in iron is
more wholesome than to work in
lead or copper, as might be expect
ed, while the confined labor of a
schoolmaster is as injurious as the
state of celebacy of the Roman
priest; lastly, the inn-keep-
ers, being most exposed to the
of intemperance, have
the least chance for a long life, as
we'll as those with whom they habit
lally keep company Manufac
,urer and Builder.

For the Citizen.I
Atrocious.

Mr.. EDIToR:-We have a variety
of folks in our neighborhood this
year, and amongst them a crusty
old bachelor who goes to church be-
cause his girl does.
Well, last Sunday we had preach
ing, as frequently occurs in all well
regulated villages, and our minister
preached to large congregation
comprised of ladies and gentlemen
in the main and the aforesaid old
bachelor. He preached about the
final perseverance of the saints, of
which the aforesaid Is not the most
devout. After he had been preach
ing about three quarters of an hour
he remarked that his watch was out
of fix, and for the want of a spare
dollar it had remained so; and after
preaching an hour longer, only, he
closed his sermon. Now, our min
lster had been invited to dine with
the village squire, and, Of course, he
would not presch a long sermon un-
der the circumstances, and so he
only preached an hour and forty
seven minutes, and when he closed,
amidst the almost general regrets of
lis congregation, the aforesaid"
Ipitefully remarked:
"For the want of q dollar
His watch wasn't mended,
For the want of watch
His sermon wasn't ended"
saved the wretch from the
ust indignation of a mob bnt the
4bsence o: one. There is some pros
'ect of his being presented to the
5rand jury, and may the Lord have
mercy on his soul, if, indeed, he has

By ALI Means Be an Editor.

An editor is the happiest being
ON earth. He has little or nothing
to do, and his pay is all that his
heart could wish. His sanctum,
with its Persian rugs and Turkish
carpets, its costly rosewood furni-
ture, its magnificent mirrors, its
beautiful pictures, its complete Ii
orary of splendidly- bound books,
it's silver bell to summon an attend
ant, and, in short, with its every
thing that human ingenuity can de-
wise for his comfort and pleasure, is
perfect little paradise, where he
sits or lounges and reigns a young
lord, with the world of fashion and
pleasure at his feet. And then
anybody can be an editor-no
study, no preparation, no brains,
nothing but a little money to start
with, and once started the money
pours in upon you in a constant
stream, and the chief labor of your
wife is to spend it. AS for the la
Dor of editing q newspaper, that is
mere moonshine. A mere glance at
the columns of a newspaper is
enough to convince you that it re
quires no labor to edit it, and less
brains. 1t is certainly glorious
life, that of an editor; a life OF lux
urious ease and of elegant leisure
life filed, like that of the young
lover in his first dream of requited
love, with flutes and rose leaves and
moonbeams. That all men are not
editors IS one OF the strangest
things beneath the stars. True,
there must be doctors and lawyers
and merchants and shoemakers and
peanut dealers and the like, and all
these callings must be filled by
somebody, but there are enough to
fill them, and why they don't be
come editors and lead the life of
opulent princes is a thing that stag
gers US. But after all, it may be
that is a mere matter of taste. 1t
may be repugnant to some natures
to become editors. The life of
ease and elegance and luxury, and
exemption from all care and tolls
and debts and duns, would soon be-
come a bore to him, and he would
spend his nights in dreaming OF
plOughs and pitchforks and reaping
machines, and squander his days in
devising some plan for swapping
places with a blacksmith's appren-
tice or a street car driver.-IC. j.
