Mrs. NJ. L. Leech, a worthy and refined
lady, a noble wife and a devoted mother,
died at lG45 yesterday morning, the 10th
Of December, 1878, at Ill Georgia street,
in this city. She was the daughter OF
Rev. H. B. Haywood, Of Mississippi, one
of the most eminent and distinguished
Baptist ministers Of that State, and was
thirty-three years Of age At the time Of her
death. She leaves only one child, q
daughter seven yean.old. EHer husband,
Mr.. r. M. Leech, is a we'll known railroad
man, now conductor on the Mississippi
and Tennessee railroad. Mrs. Leech was
a lady Of good education, fine intelligence,
gentle manners and a sweet disposition,
esteemed and beloved by all who knew
her. The loss to her husband and little
daughter is ir~reparable and sad to contem.
plate beyond expression. Words Of con-
dolence under such circumstances seem
meaningless and unavailing. The many
friends of Mr.. Leech, who is so we'll known
in this State and Mississippi, will kindly
sympathze with him and his little daugh-
ter in their great loss, and we cannot buI
hope that time will mellow their sorrow
and soften their grief.

An intellectual gentleman, thflt is to

concerning pictures 10 the window

as possible the following conversation,
took place
See" said the man of intellect,

lady is, and how like that of her

the clerk that they are all gone but

The governor general and Princess
Louise, it seems, are not exclusive
enough to please the bluest of the
blue blood of the Dominion. The
Evening Post, of Montreal, reminds
its readers that whenever Lord and
Lady Dufferin gave a reception cards
had to be sent to the aide-de-camp
two days before the appointed hour,
whereas at the princess drawing
rooms in that city and in Halifax
nothing was needed except a decent
suit, and an escaped convict could
have paid his respects to her, if ne
liked. What gentleman, demands that
heightened journal, would like to plac
his wife in a position where she could
be even formally introduced to every
Tom, Dick and Harry vino wished2
1t concludes that the mistake was that
the Marquis Of Lorne and his wife
we're too democratic. The man who
is not careful of the society his
wife, his daughter, or his sister keeps,
cannot be a good citizen and the
editor holds that it is effrontery to
think that because some men happen
to be born to station in life, that they
must leave themselves open to meet
the common thief, who would be
Stunned in the house of any man,
rich or poor. This is amusing. The
intercourse between the marquis and
princess and those who were presented
to them on those state occasions was
somewhat restricted. A name was
read from a card, the inclination of
the marquis faxen mop was an angle.
of fifteen degrees, and the princess
act of recognition was measured by an.
angle even more scant-barely eight
degrees; and that was an end of it.
: Even if every other man at these re-
ceptions had been Tom, Dick or
Harry, there was no opportunity for.
| those evil communications whereby
[ good manners are corrupted and even.
I if every escaped convict in the two
/ cities, with jealous leer malign, and
!, with malice a~forethought, purchased
! or borrowed or stole a dress coat, a
I white tie, and a pair Of white gloves,
:, they could only Fave nodded, stared,
> and possibly winked at the princess
before ambling out. 1t is safe to say
, that the illustrious lady has not been
! contaminated through these demo-
I cratic " demonstrations.

certify Of his feelings. Up to that time
the result Of the election was doubtful,
Captain Taylor being a candidate. True
to his manifestations Of friendship, Mack
Williams marched his ~fortyseven men up
to the polls, and each one cast a vote for
Tom Taylor, thereby electing him a dele
gate to tho convention. This one act of
Mack Williams gives his memory claims
upon the admiration of all who may
have hoard so much Of i'll repute concern
ing a man now in the grave.
THE HARRELL-DEvINEY FEUD
had nothing to do with Mack Williams
and his exploits, but originated years ago
between the elder heads of the respective
families. Charles Deviney, father Of Jos.
Deviney, years ago purchased from Mrs
Manus q tract of land, and paid a certain
sum of money into her hands. Mrs.
| Manus subsequently aseertained that the
sale was not in accordance with law, or
rather that there was a defect in the sale,
and threatened suit to recove the land, but
finally compromised upon the payment OF
500 by Deviney. Mr.. Manus died, and
his widow having married John Harrell'
she spoke Of instituting the suit, and this
elected from one of the Devineys a severe
remark to a neighbor, Mrs. Smith, to the
effect shat she was not q lady" de
doubtless intended to convey the idea that
Mrs. Harrell was not acting like a lady IN
seeking to recover the property.
which had been paid for al
ready. The remark coming to hii
knowledge, John Harrell determined to
compel a public retraction and apology
from Joseph Devincy. He accordingly
mounted his mule and riding up to De
~yiney's house, which is only a few yardi
from the road, called him out. Deviney
appeared and Harrell said Il want Vol
to come and go over with me to Mrs
Smiths, right away" Deviney asked hin
to get a mule to ride. This was refused b!
Harrell, who told Deviney that he had t.
trot before his mule. "Well, let me ge

Deviney stepped out with a double-bar

WOman's way in the world.

Lucy Stone says that, although
women have not secured the ballot,
they have in her time vastly improved
their condition. She remembers
when a woman was thought compe-
tent to teach only the small children
in the summer schools, when her pay
for teaching was 81 a week, and she
was expected to board around. Now
women are professors in colleges, with
good salaries. In four States they
vote on all school matters. Teaching,
sewing, and keeping house were the
only occupations regarded as suitable
for women. Now the census records
s%eventy-One occupations that are open
to women. No woman was a public
speaker out Of the Quaker church.
Now all platforms are free to them.
The lyceum offers to the woman Leo
turer the same open field that 1t does
to a man. The pulpit and the bar are
both occupied by women, The wo-
man physician did not exist. Now
they have a successful practice III
every large city and many OF the
smaller towns. There was not a col
lege in the world that admitted wo-
men. Now there arenot only distinctive
colleges for women, but a large mum
Der that welcome women to all theil
advantages. 1t is not many years
since a married woman could Owl
