Female Conquests.

The advocates of female suffrage have rea-
son to be gratifed at the progress of their
cause. In Boston women are now allowed to
vote for School Directors, and at the last
school election nearly GOO of them actually
voted for ticket which was beaten-showing,
what perhaps the women had not appreciated
before, that voting does not always involve
electing the ticket voted for. The New York
Legislature has followed the Boston example
and passed a bill allowing women not only to
vote for School Directors but to be School Di
rectors themselves, providing they can per-
suade sufficient number of persons to vote
for them to elect them. In Kentucky widows
having children of school age have the right
to vote for School Directors. This is evidently
the beginning. School Directors are made a
sort Of apprenticeship or training school in
which the new suffragans are to be instructed
in the new right before being permitted that
general exercise of it which they hope will
ultimately be accorded them. And voting is
not the only privilege that famales have re-
Gently conquered. 1t seems that they, can be
enumerators under the new Census bill. At
all events, the Superintendent ais aware of
no reasons existing in the law for regarding
women as ineligible for appointments as emu
merators." Each Supervisor, he saws. must
judge for himself whether such appointments
would be practically advantageous in his dis
trict. In some regions they would be highly
Objectionable; but in others, where women
can do the work as efficiently as men, there is
no reason why they should not be appointed.
In point of fact, several have been appointed
in Kentucky; and it is probable that among
the several thousand enumerators who will do
the substantial work of the census of the pres
ent year considerable proportion will be
women

One of the officials of Justice alley was the
other day called upon by on old gray-headed
farmer and his wife, together with neighbor,
and outside the door they hitched an old half
blind horse, whose cash value was reckoned
at SIS.

bur Jones wants TO buy the old boss out there;
but he wants bill o. sale signed by wife and

"And what has this boss sale got to do with

man.

with it," exclaimed the wife, as she walked
around. We've always kept clear of the law,
and we amt going to get into no scrape and
lose our farm now-not if we know it !"
The more the Justice tried to explain, the
bigger the words looked, ana the trio finally
walked out While they were unhitching the
horse, along came house painter, and when
he had heard their story he picked up piece
of paper in the alley, pulled out stub of a
pencil and wrote:

colt, and his name is Andrew jackson"

'ravel would be avoided, as we'll as a large
proportion of its cost. Great advantage will
doubtless accrue to married men when they
can preserve their families in ice. Wives will
grow old, and children cease to be children, as
things are now managed; but when any man
can, few days after marriage, deposit his wife
with a safe deposit refrigerating company, and
thaw her out only on Sundays and other holi-
days, she will add not more than year of her
age while he is adding seven, and will, of
course, require only one-seventh Of the usual
amount OF bonnets. In like manner, man
can keep perpetual baby without the slight
est trouble. The baby need only be thawed out
when its grandparents come to seeit, or when
it's services are required to convince an unde-
sirable ncighbor or fellow-boarder of the pro-
priety of marrying. By this plan, one baby
would be all any family could require, and an
ordinary healthy baby, if well frozen and
thawed out at reasonably frequent times,
would last family for lifetime, thus saving
an enormous amount of trouble and expense"

A Candidate FOR Circns Honor..

The following episode (London Figaro says)
occurred recently in Virginia City, Nevada
Last evening, after the performance was over
at the circus, a young man called on Chiarini
and said he wanted te see him on private bus
mess. The old veteran took him into his pri-
vate Office and received him with his usual
politeness.
81 came all the way from Carson to see the
show, and I'd like to join" said the young
man.
"Oh, 1 see." said the circus man. "You're
a well-formed, healthy-looking young fellow,
and I'd like to encourage such as you"
The youths face frightened.
You don't chew, smoke or drink, I hope?'
ooh, no; honor bright except soda and
beer"
"You must leave off these bad habits. They
weaken the muscles and paralyze the nerves.
You can soon stop drinking, but your salary
will not be large until you have overcome
these little tendencies. A little lemonade
circus lemonade-is all the performers have to
drink. Call at IL o'clock tomorrow morning,
and will see what I can do. You mustn't
expect over $50 a week, though, at first. We
never pay high salaries until we know just
what q man can do"
The delightful Carsonite went away, and
next morning was on hand.
Cbiarini took him to tent where three i'm
mense Bengal tigers were Gagged. Handing
him curry comb and pair of shears, he re-
marked:
"Your duties will be comparatively light at
first. You will go in the cage and curry the
animals down every morning, and about once a
week cut their claws; keep 'em down pretty
short, 50 that when they attack the tiger
tanner, Mr.. Wilson, they won't lacerate him
much. Sometimes, but not more than once a
month, you may have occasion to file their
teeth You just throw the animal on his back
and hold his head between your knees. If ne
acts rough, belt him on the nose few times.
Keep betting him until he quiets down."
Haven't you got vacancy in the art de-
partment?" asked the young man from Carson.
" Is art your line ?" enquired Chiarini.
eyes, - drawled the young man. "In the
circuses I've always run with. used to paint
the red stripes on the zebras. II killed SO
many tigers keepin' 'em straight that the boss
wouldn't let me handle 'em He said l used
'em too rough"
Chiarini swears that the young man from
Carson shall have the first vacancy.
