A Strange Robbery.

Last Thursday night while the lamp was
burning dimly in the chamber of Rev.
Alexander Sprune, at tho Augusta church
parsonage near Fort Defiance, Mrs. Sprunt
was aroused by noise and saw strange
man rising from a STOPPING posture near
the centre of the room. He then stealthily
approached the foot of the bed aud took a
deliberate survey of the occupants. The
lady, who had been thoroughly alarmed. by
this time recovered her presence Of mind
sufficiently to wake her husband. and the
startled intruder, who was evidently
white man. gathered up the clothing OF
Mr.. Sprunt from chair and ran from the
room. Mr.. Sprunt followed as soon az
possible, but the fellow had disappeared
in the darkness. After making, with his
colored man, careful search about the
premises, he gave up for lost his suit OF
clothes, together with gold watch and
pencil, some money and other articles
which were in his pockets. But the next
morning, after another search, the colored
man, Cary, appeared, bringing in his arms
from a field near by, the lost clothes
which he had found In fence corner, and
strange to say. only the $3.50 OF change
had been taken from the pockets, the
watch and other articles having been un-
disturbed.
The same night number OF houses IN
the neighborhood and. at Mount Sidney
were entered, and there were marks about
the windows and doors of others, show
ing that entrance had been attempted. In
no case, as tar as heard from, was any
thing except money taken, and the thief
got about $40 of that from the follow
ing named parties: j. G. Roller $40, Dr.
Bell S1O.25, Rev. Alex. Sprunt $3.50 and
G. F. Allen $1.75.
The robberies seem to have. been the
work of tramp, who was going down the
pike and entered or attempted to enter
every house where there was light.
He must have been most adroit and
practised thief, as he was only seen at one
house and nothing has been heard Of him
since, while his aversion TO gold watches
and iewelry is unaccountable in a gentle
man of his cloth,

CONCERNING WOMEN.

History says that Eve first tempted Adam
but We have never heard her story.
The daughter of the wealthy Senator
Sharon is admirably described as having q
sweet, childlike face and gentle manner, and
as dressing with the greatest simplicity, en-

A Kentucky senator has introduced bill

successful lawyers.

The philosophers are determined to stand
up for the intelligence of man. When a
man does a smart thing they say he reached
it by his reason, but when a woman does the
same thing, the philosopher looks extra wise,
peeps over his spectacles, and says it is intu
ton, or instinct. We believe this is a phil
OsOphy that ought to work both ways.
Among the banners conspicuously display
ed at the recent meeting of the Female
Suffrage association in Washington, were
the following:
Taxation without representation is tyr
amy"
Women are taxed to support criminals
and paupers, and to feed and clothe the law
makers who oppress them"
THE financial problem for women; Equal
pay for equal work, and 100 cents on the
dollar
Not wine and women, but women and
temperance"
women are voting on education, which
is the bulwark of State, in Kansas, Michi-
gan, Minnesota, California, Oregon, New
Hampshire and Massachusetts
"When woman will, she will, and you
may depend on it she will vote"
There are some knotty points of political
and social philosophy there for the masculine
mind to work on.

The Contented Herd-Boy.
From the German. By S. A. G.l


In fowery dale herd-boy kept his sheep;
and because his heart was SO joyful he sang
so loudly that the surrounding hills echoed
back his song. One morning the king, who
was out on a hunting expedition, spoke to
him and said: "Why are you 80 happy dear
little one?"
''Why shall not be?' he answered; 'our
king is not richer than l.
Indeed" said the king, ''tell me then of
your great possessions"
The lad answered, "The sun in the bright
blue sky shines as brightly upon me as upon
the king. The flowers the mountain and
the grass in the valley grow and bloom to
gladden. my sight as well as his. would
not take alhundred thousand thalers for my
hands my eyes are Of more value than all
the precious stones in the world; have food
and clothing too; am l not therefore as rich
as the king2"
"IOu are sight" said the king, with a
laugh, "but your greatest treasure is "a con-
tented heart keep it so and you will always
be happy"

SWIMMING THE CREAM.
II. NORMAN eUNNIsoN.

She was only little country lass,
With an eye as bright as planets CLEAN,
But saw the maid as | chanced to pass,
Down in the dairy, Swimming the cream.
Oh, dimpled arms! that were Tar more white
Than the milk which lay in the pans below
Oh, smiling face! that was full of light
Your wealth of beauty longed to know.
Well, was a tired-out city man.
With the heart OF q cynfc-full OF pride;
And how could for moment scan
The country lass as my future bridef
Yet, oh, dear red lips, and shy eyes of blue,
And face more sweet than earths faces
seem,
How my heart went out In that hour 10 you,
Down In the dairy, Swimming the cream!
The years have passed ana the days are dead,
The days which with DOUBT end fear were
rife,
In the long ago we two were wed,
And the dairy -maid is my loving wife.
There are other girls on whose face a shade
or beauty rests, like an angels dream,
But when won her-the dairy-maid-
left the others and skinned the cream.

Facts About the Progress of Women's
Rights in EngIann.


TLondon Correspondence Philadelphia Times.
The movement in favor of women doctors
TO minister to women's ailments goes ON
apace. Two ladies have recently received doe
tors diplomas from the Faculty of Medi-
cine in Paris. One of them, Mrs. Chaplin
Ayrton, came from Japan, where her husband
held an important post under Government,
to study medicine and has passed her exam
ination with high honors. The other is Mrs.
Marshall sister-in law of Mrs. Garrett An
derson, the premier of this movement among
Englishwomen, and now properly acknowl-
edged by male physicians, as well as the
public, to deserve the place she has won in
the front ranks of her profession. Mrs. Mar
shall gave final proof of her fitness by the
sis that she wrote on an obscure disease, more
dangerous to women than men. On handing
her her diploma the Paris president said;
''You, madam, have helped to vindicate for
all women their right to study medicine.
You reply, in your person, to all the o6jec-
tons of your adversaries. / have seen you
and watched your work for years-in the
hospital, in my wards, by the bedside OF the
patients-I have seen the earnest work you
have done. i congratulate you, and L thank
YOU" 1t should be remembered that Mrs.
| Marshall is one of the ladies who began to
study medicine at Edinburgh, but was driven
thence by the trades union violence and I'M
gentlemanly behavior of its medical students.
Fortunately there is now a prosperous and
an efficient medical school for women IN
London, which, if it has not yet all the pres
tige of the older schools for men grows every
session in numbers and reputation.

WOman's Advance.
detroit Free Press.l

Lovely woman" really is making notable
advances toward that practical quality which
has been so long and so earnestly sought for
her. In New York both houses of the legis-
lature have passed, with but four dissenting
votes, bill which not only authorizes the
election of women as school trustees, but
permits them to vote in the election of such
trustees. Whether the governor will APP
prove the bill is involved in some doubt,
though he recommended in his inaugural
that portion which provides that women may
be voted for. If he should approve, it will
remain to be seen whether the New York
women are any more anxious to vote than
their Massachusetts sisters were; but even if
they do not prove any more anxious. some
thing will have been gained. 1t will no
longer be in their power to complain of u
lack of opportunity to vote.
In California, also, the cause of woman
has made again during the past week, the
supreme court of that State having decided
that they not be excluded solely on ac-
count of sex from the college of law in the
State university Women have always been
admitted as students in the university, and
their right to practice in the courts as attor-
neys and counsellors, on equal terms with
men, has never been questioned. The col
lege of law, however, has never opened its
doors to them; and when one of them who
had been practicing law for some years APP
piled for admission the directors declined TO
receive her on the ground that they believed
it not wise or expedient or for the best inter
ests of the college to admit any female rs Il
student therein. The court says this was
was wrong. The directors may exercise "a
sound discretion in admitting students. They
may exclude persons of bad character or
insufficient requirements or because they are
too young. But they can not exclude be-
cause of sex.
