ONB PROTBOTTYE LkW.


An Assemblymau Of the California
Legislature has or several occasions
made uncomplimentary remarks abou,
Mrs. Fitzgerald, o lecturer, who had
sold tickets on the floor Of the House at
Sacramento. On Monday last, she
stepped into the Assembly chamber,
armed with q black snake Whip, and
demanded that The law-giyer and pro-
teclor Of women write an immediate re-
traction, to be published in her Lus-
bands paper OF that day. The member
met her angry eye, and saw that she
had passed and intended to enforce a
law for the protection Of one woman at
least. There was no chance for him TO
test the eonstitutionality Of her enact
ment. She was a Supreme Court in the
case, and he fancied be could trace her
decision along the shiny covering OF
the serpeutiue lash. The action could
not be postponed Tor term even-in
fact, there was danger that the case
would be advanced on the docket-and
there was nothing for him to do but
calmly submit to theruling Of his judge.
Glancing around the room, and seeing
no means OF escape from The Claw" OF
whip, be reunad a satisfactory retrac-
ton, without making an argument
against the equity Of her statute.

"THE PREss.l

Hon. J. J. owen, editor Of tie san
Jose Mercury, delivered his lecture on
1.-THE Press" before q small but select
audience on Monday evening in the Y.
". c. a. Hall. The lecture was at once
instructive and amusing, and would re-
fleet credit upon the pulpit of a Tai
mage, a Cooki or a Cruzan, 10 allowed q
hearing. We hope a certain deacon Of
the Congregational church was present,
aud trust he learned that "The Press Is
a subject that may be discussed with
propIiety before au audience or cougre-
CATION OF both ladies and gentlemen.
AS we hope yet to hear the lecture be-
fore q large audience from some popular
pulpit, we viii defer a synopsis til some
future time, though we cannot now pass
it by without quoting the peroratiou,

GLASS LEGISLATION.

Il is seldom that better example Of
class legislation is found than the action
of the Senate Of the Legislature OF New
York in unanimously passing bill to
prevent women from acting as profes-
sional pedestrians. It renders liable TO
prosecution for nisdemeanor any wom-
an who takes part in q walking match,
any manager or person aiding In such
an exhibition, and even the owner or
lessee Of the building where the contest
is held. Penalties Of fine and imprison-
ment are provided TO give force to the
bill. Walking matches are, no doubt,
nuisances, aud nuisanees should be
abated, yet no one can give reason for
allowing men 20 practice a profession"
that is declared a crime if followed by
women, aud any objection that would
be raised by men if interfercd with
infringement Of personal or individual
rights" equally applicable to women.
It is said that the New York bill passed
without a word being uttered in rela-
tion to the disgraceful contests Of men
pedestrians. The WomaR's Journal
closes a short article on this matter with
these words: "Tn this we have another
illustration of the disadvantage which
any class has in legislation who are not
represented by one Of their own num-
Der. If women had votes, some men,
Der would at least have asked the ques-
tion, Why not also include the men ?''

THE sUNLTeHT OF DEFOTION.

Robert Burdette, Of the Burlington
HalCkcye. says that while he was Iec,ur-
ing at Washington he saw lady with
an intelligent, pretty face and bright
eloquent eyes, that were rarely lifted
towards him, and then only FOR fash
Of time. They we're bent upon her hus-
bands hands almost constantly. Bril-
liant and accomplished a few years ago,
she had gone down into the world Of
voieeless silence, and now all the music
and all the speech that comes into her
life comes through the tender devotion
of her husband. As the speaker talked,
he watched the husband telling off the
lecture on his nimble fingers, while the
wife's eager eyes glanced from them 10
his sympathetic face. II was Q pretty
picture OF devotion. They were young
to have this cloud shadow The morning
skies Of their lives; yet how beautifully
the sunlight Of his devotion was break
ing through the clouds and lia,ing even
their Affections with a tender radiance.
It is said that Mr. Burdet,e's with
cisms, which have made him famous,
are written by the bedside Of his sick
wife hence these closing words are OF
additiona! significance: "Tbis disci-
pline Of attending upon suffering is q
good thing FOR a man. It rounds out
his life; il develops his manlIer, nobleT
qualities; it makes his heart brave and
/ tender aud strong as wOmau's."

"eRoRIEa pFNORALIzaT1Or.u

Il is well known that nations decay
when the standard of civilization be-
comes so low that Ucentiousuess and
dissipation are not placed under The tan
by the great majority OF the people. In
view Of this fact, it Is with alarm that
every patriot notes the spread Of Im-
moral and vicious ideas among portions
Of the population. Il may De that tie
percentage Of those with evil tendencies
is not greater than iu the past, as our
population incressesso rapidly, yet those
who have occasion 90 travel much are
prone to think different. Let any one
attend o picnic from any large city, and
his eyes viii be greeted with many
startling sights. The public excursions
from New York, Boston, Philadelphia,
Chicago, san Francisco, and other cities
IN the United States are excellent places
10 learn of ;te spread of proligacy and
dissoluteue-s. Sunday p.euics in par
ticUlar enable The wanton tollaunt their
lack Of docor1m; aud generally Sunday
picIics are visited by the lower classes
because Of the knowledge that quiet aud
orderly people seldom attend. Also, the
cheap trains which connect many East
eTn cities serve 90 collect together the
worse specimens OF humanity. Henry
B. Blackwell recently took a trip on the
dollar train which runs between New
York aud Boston. His observation was
that the constant disturbance which
dissraced the train was caused by a few
ill-brei Eomen and many coarse men.
"Thir.y years ago tle disorder could not
have occurred" Astae uumbero Of bold
and biazen women is ever so small in
comparison with tire number Of men o,
the same stamp, it is @ natural supposi-
tion that if women bad The power they
would raise our standard of morality.
Verify, "Something is needed to check
the growing decentralization" Many
agree with Mr.. Blackwell that Womau
Suffrage is the remedy.

sK0BBERY

The cuimiuation OF snobbery has been
reached by some masculine paragupher,
who publishes 70 the world the impor-
tsnt fact that "AIrs. Langtry is so dainty
that she has her maid wash all the gold
that comes 90 her purse with soda. -
The snob who penned the quotation
should give a little more attention 10
English aud not SO much heed % the
Jersey Lily" Soda is ''dreadf1lly for
ward" ia coming 10 her purse with gold.
The beauty's claim TO fame consists in
having aroused The temper Of the Prince
Of Wales by slipping bit Of ice "down
his collar" thus marring the heir APP
parents enjoyment Of his dinner. The
beauty achieved new distinction by
laughing as the proud scion Of royalty
cudeavorei to prevent the congealed
liquids following The course Of his spi-
nal column. Il Is also said that the
Lilly" IS lraceful in stubbing her toe
but no one has yet had the temerity TO
learn OF her husband whether or not she
holds portion Of her hair in her teeth
while the rest is being dressed.
It is presumsble that the members OF
the press who dish up the fatulent nom
sense concerning Mrs. Lantry's gold and
toes are all earnest sticklers for "wom-
ans sphere" and will summarily con-
denim any and all women who endeavor
to help their sisters to independence.

WONBH AND GIRLs IN WIVES.

Il is q somewhat startling fact that
there are still nearly 5000 women and
girls employed about the coal mines Of
Great Britain. In the official summary
Of persons employed in and about the
mines, under the Coal Mines act, it is
stated that p girls under the age Of Is
years are employed. or girls between
the ages OF l3 and 16 ihere are 433 en-
ployed Of young women above the age
Of lG there are no less than 4 SOP en-
ployed. Ia the mines registered Under
the Metaliierous Mines act there is q
larger propor,ionste employment OF
women. At the tender age OF between
S aud IS years, there are 96 girls en-
ployed, chiefly in the Cornwall District;
between the ages OF l3 aud Is, there are
9sl girls employed about these mines,
Cornwall and the North Wales District
employing the bulk; and there are also
1,5il women above the age Of IS en-
ployed, Cornwall, North Wales and Ire
land employed all these except 20; and
Of this score, somewhat singularly, the
chief part are employed in the North OF
England, which has been remarkably
free from wOmen's work in the unfit
employment Of mining. The propor-
tion Of women employed is said 10 be
decreasing; but the fact that girls Of
such tender ages are put to mining op-
eTatious, OF 10 work "above ground" at
the mines, is . sign that the unsatisfac-
tory system is not likely to entirely
I die out.

Uncle Davy Newsome, the veteran
pioneer and well-kuown advocate Of
temperance, gave as a long and pleasant
call last Saturday. he reported a sue
cessful lecture tour through the counties
Of Yamhlll and Washington, and found
the people wide awake on the Woman
Suffrage question. He gave a glowing
account OF the crops throughout the
portions Of the counties visited, and is
quite enthusiastic over the narrow guage
railway system.
LATEE.-From letter just at hand,
we learn that 8Ir. Sewsome took the
steamer OcciIent for Oswego on the

residence OF the WaHings, where be was

The temperance movement in Eng
land is gathering strength. Fourteen
thousand clergymen Of the Church OF
England have united in a memorial to
bishops, asking them to support ear
ues.ly measures for the further resiric-
tion OF The trade in Intoxicating liquors.
They are convinced, they say, that the
condition OF the people "can never be
greatly improved, whether iutelleetu-
ally, physically or rellgiously, so long
as intemperancs extensively prevails
among them, and that intemperance
viii prevail SO long as temptations to il
abound on every side.n

The Princess Stephanie, OF Belgium,
the future wife Of the young Crown
Prince Rudolph Of Austria, is only Six
teen years old, and is one Of the most
beautiful Processes Of Europe. She is
accomplished, her tastes being highly
artistic and musical. The Crowu-Psince
first met her two years ago. The be-
trothal was celebrated privately in the
family circle, after the Crown-Prince
asked the royal parents for the Princess
Stephanie's hand. Tie Princess has
hitherto led 4 secluded life, having been
seen very seldom, even in Brussels.
The wedding will probably not take
place for a year. Hungary is much
pleased, as Stephanie is the grand
daughter of the much-loyed Archduke
Joseph, for half a century Palaline OF
that country.

The first woman to vote In Albany,
\. Y, on the 18Th instant, under the
new law for the School Board, was Kate
Stoneman, Secretary Of the County
Woman Suffrage Society, member Of
the Faculty Of the State Normal School,
and sister Of General Stoneman. The
Legislature made such a blunder in
passing the law that in but few locali-
ties women can receive the benefits in
tended. II women ever make such a
mistake, it will be regarded as evidence
that they are unfit TO be law makers.
