How Thief WAS DETEcTED-On last
Wednesday two ladies were driving home
from Natchez to place in the country,
when the two mules they were driving set
up loud and continuous nickering, which
was as loudly and continuously responded
to by another mule ridden by colored
man approaching with several bags of seed
cotton strapped upon him. The three
mules were old acquaintances, being ac-
customed to being driven together in four
mule team. So strong was their attachment
that they collided in spite of all that could
be done by the man that had the seed cot
ton The ladies recognized the man and
mule. The man was soon interviewed by a
committee of the Washington Protective
Association, who, finding the seed cotton
to have been stolen, made it SO hot for him
that he has acted upon the maxim that dis
cretion is the better part of valor, and
left for parts unknown.-[N [Natchez Demo-

WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN MASSACHUSETTS, The
Woman Suffrage State Central Committee
has decided not tocall the usual convention
for the nomination of State officers this
fall, but instead has prepared an address
setting forth the relations of the different
parties toward the question of woman suf-
frage, which in its judgment render such a
convention unnecessary. The Republicans
they say, "have nominated for Governor
Thomas Talbot, pronounced friend of
woman suffrage, who has given moral and
material aid to the movement" {"
"Ihe Faneuil Hall Democracy have
adopted a platform which covers woman
suffrage by language which is not capable
of evasion" The National Party and the
Worcester Democratic Convention have
nominated Gen. Butler, who has been for
years an avowed friend of women suf-
frage." The Prohibitory Party, in its call
for State Convention, invited women to
take part in its primary meeting. More
than thirty women, as delegates, united in
the nomination of Dr. Miner, and the plat
form indorses woman suffrage. The address
concludes as follows: "Under these cir
cumstances and in the present state
of the public mind, the choice for Governor
will generally be made upon other consid-
oi i"poio' DuV III tiIe Cllolce VI HelhDeTS OF
the Legislature real battle must be made
Vote for no man for State Senator or Repre-
sentative who is not in favor of woman suf-
frage. Oppose every man who is against it.
Break party lines to help elect men who be-
lieve in impartial suffrage irrespective of
sex. Appeal to the good men of all parties
to do justice to their mothers. wives, sisters,
and daughters who are still taxed without
representation and governed without con-
sent.

ANOTHER trifing little incident in the
frontier history of the United States in
its intercourse with the gentle savage has
Just transpired. A band of Cheyennes
last month swooped down upon peace
able settlement of American citizens in
Decatur County, Kansas, and contigu-
Gus territory, mercilessly killing the men
and children, and after ravishing their
wives and daughters mercifully killing
them. The military started in pursuit
of these subsidized wards of the nation,
but after a wild-goose chase among the
sand hills, during which they came near
perishing from fatigue, thirst and ex-
posure, the troops struggled back to Camp
Sheridan, Nebraska, to recruit. Would
the troops capture and destroy the vari-
Gus Indian agencies, drum-head court
martial and shoot all Government agents
and Indian contractors, they could all go
into eternal quarters east of the Missis-
sippi River, so far as any Indian disturb
ance would give them employment.
