WILL NOT ADJ0URS.

held last Monday, proposition to ad-
journ Congress without further action
on the pending appropriations was re-
jected by an overwhelming vote, and
Congress will remain in session until
an appropriation bill is passed that
Hayes won't veto This means, CT

in order to save the public credit, will
be forced 10 allow tie infamous force

1t Is suggestive to the citizen who
believes in the free exercise of his
rights, and especially Of the freedom of
the ballot, that that which Blackstone
laid down as the law of monarchial
England, over one hundred wears ago,
IN vindication of the franchise, free
fr",n military Interference, intimidation
or coercion, Is now foutqd by Hayes
and the Radicals, as too favorable to
the people, and that be and his party
insist that be Is empowered to use
troops at the polls for snch purpose.
Blackstone declared q As 1t is essen
tial tn the very being Of Parliament
that elections should be absolutely free,
therefore all undue influences upon the
electors are illegal and strongly prohib-
tied. As soon, therefore, as
the times and places of elections, either
in counties or boroughs, are fixed, all
soldiers qnartered in the place are to
remove at least one day before the cleo
tion to the distance of twa miles or
more and not to return till one day
after the election is ended"

State, bearing as it does so powerfully
upon the-great national contest of 1880.

Massachusetts, makes the fourth State in
which women are allowed to vote for school
directors, the others being Kansas, Mime
sofa and New Hampshire As there are 3S7
women teachers in Massachusetts, and only
1853 male teachers, and as women are good
deal concerned in getting their children off
to school, it seems reasonable to suppose that
the mothers are equally concerned with the
fathers in putting the best sort of directors
in this important office.
The Massachusetts, law provides that every
woman who is citizen of the Common
wealth, ,twenty-one years of age, and possessed
of the other qualifications of the voter (the
ability to read and write,) may vote for
members of the school committees, on pre-
sentatun Of her tax receipt, or-if without
taxable property-by paying a poll tax of
two dollars, which is what the male voter
pays for voting the ticket all through, for
everybody for every Office, There are some
discrepancies, however, even in this limited
privilege. Many matters with regard to the
public schools are decided in town meeting
that good old custom of getting at the will
OF the people being still in full force in
| Massachusetts. But the women cannot vote
in town meeting, so they will pay their two
dollars for very small slice indeed of the
whole loaf of electoral privileges. Doubt
less, however, this discrepancy will be mad,
right by future enactments so far as tn,
schools are concerned As there are said t
be some 10000 more women than men il
Massachusetts, the new order will probabl
result in putting few more women in tn
school boards than have hitherto gained ad
mission there even in enlightened Bostoi
itself. What new ideas may present them
selves because Of this permissive act, wha
impression will be made upon the publ
mind by the registration of women as voters
and by seeing them walk up to the polls t
exercise their choice as citizens limited,
is impossible to foresee. But in Boston alon
where 1900 women pay taxes on seventy-fv
millions of property, to say nothing of tn
$4,000 women of the State whose propert
is taxed at two hundred millions, it is likel
that this limited provision will be sugge,
tive of others, and as their money goes no
to pay for town improvements, it would NJ
be surprising if they should ask, meekl
for the privilege to select selectman in III
suburbs or the councilmen of the city VIII
spend it.-Ledger.

THE FAKIRS OF INDIA.

The religion of the Hindoo teaches them
that men become saints, by disfguring their
bodies and living in nakeduess and filth.
These Hindoo saints are called fakirs (pro-
nouncod fah-keers) They form a class of
people by themselves, generally wandering
about from place to place, having no fixed
home. They deem it virtue to be filthy
aud almost naked. They neither cut their
hair nor comb it, twisting it about their
heads or letting it hang loosely. They paint
their naked bodies or rub ashes over them
50 as to make themselves as repulsive as
possible. A few years ago there were
said to be two millions of these fakirs
in India. The people greatly reverence
them, seeking their blessing and dreading
their curse. They are great beggars, and no
one dares refuse them gift. The proudest
/ brahmin will bow down before one of these
wretched creatures whom he happens to
meet upon the street.
There is class of these fakirs who give
themselves up to some special form of self
torture, and it is astonishing what suTerings
they will endure. Occasionally one will
make vow to fssten his eyes on an object
and never take them Off while waking. He
will stand for days with fixed gaze as if he
were stone. Some of these will stand on
one foot until their legs shrivel, and 1t be-
comes impossible for them to walk. Others
will tie an arm over the head, and keep it
there until it becomes rigid and useless. A
missionary tells of fakir whom he ouce
met who was making pilgrimage to Ben
ares, distance of 24O miles, by measuring
the whole distance with his body He would
throw himself upon the ground, and then
placing his feet where the head struck, re-
peat the process all day long.

LIFE IN SIBERIA.

Siberia has long been not merely the polit-
cal, but universal prison of Russia, capital
punishment being now reserved for cases of
high treason and murder punished with
transportation for life. But in this trans
portation there are many grades. Banish-
ment to one of the border fortresses is its
mildest form, usually inflicted upon military
offenders. Next comes Western Siberia,
which, traversed by several commercial high
ways, containing many large towns, and in
constant communication with Rustia, offers
so many advantages that more than one
criminal whose term has expired has remain
ed there in preferences to returning home.
Eastern Siberia, called by the Russians IA
Baikolaska, beyond Lake Baikal, J is dread.
ed by the cOnvcts for its remoteness and
sterility, it being a common saying among
| them that zone year in the East is worse
than two in the West More terrible than
| all, however is the sentence of hard labor in
the mines, especially those of quicksilver,
which by its corrosive action upon the bones
makes a certain and horrible death the inev-
liable climax of the penalty, Escape is all
but impossible, from the countless military
pickets, and the strictness of their surveil
lance but as if to make assurance doubly
safe, the Russian government is sending
many of its political prisoners to the new ac
qured Island of Saghalin, lying between tn,
Siberian coast and Japan, In the reign o
Nicholas, prisoners were often compelled tC
march the whole distance with chains oil
their ankles; but happily this barbarity ha
become rare of late years, though Their
seems reason to fear that it may revive be
fore long.
