Crimes Against Women.
fWOmants Journal

Why is it that crimes against women are
treated with such fatal lenity? There is a
morbid symathy with criminals, which man.
ifests itself whenever capital punishment is
legally inflicted, quite without regard to the
enormity of the crime previously commit
ted. This seems to be especially the case
where the crime has been committed against
a woman. The recent case of Abbot, who
was convicted upon exceedingly strong, but
purely circumstantial evidence, was a case
in point. The Temonstrance of Wendell
Phillips was indeed justified by the fact that
the evidence, being wholly eircumstantial
society had no right TO infict a punishment
beyond recall. But the bad effect of the
agitation was that it created a sympathy for
man who, in all human probability, visited
a lonely and defenceless woman in her own
house and there. without provocation, as
saulted ard brutally murdered her.
There is a certain class of crimes, of which
women are almost daily the victims, so much
worse than ordinary murder, that it almost
seems as though capital punishment should
De retained as special penalty for them. They
are seldom alluded to, because they are so
revolving, and doubtless, in a majority of
cases, they do not appear in the newspapers
at all, because the victims and their friends,
for obvious reasons, wish to avoid publicity.
But what can we say of cases like the fol-
lowing;

Women as Journalists.


The influence of women in journalism in
the United States is far greater than appears
On the surface. The fact that there are sixty
papers and periodicals openly edited and
published by women gives but a very small
fractional idea Of the extent Of their con.
nection with journalism. The number OF
female contributors to all classes of papers
and magazines is not known to the general
public, and not always even to the publish
ers, from the fact that in the higher class OF
periodicals., they frequently adopt male nom:
de plume, while many others form part of
the editorial staff of influential journals,
where, as impersonal contributors, sex is not
recognized. That keen analytical dissector,
Laura G. Holloway, is thus connected with
a paper claiming to have the largest circu-
lation of any evening daily In the United
States; and this is but one sample OF
numerous similar cases.

A TERM AS COUNTY TREASURER.

My informant spent a night II one Of

this officer must go to every man in the
County instead of their coming to him, as

we'll; if not, wolf scalps were legal tender
because, to rid the country of them, the
Government offered a reward of $3.50 for
every wolf killed, and a piece large enough
to take in both ears was called the scalp.
These were charged and taken by the Treas
urer in rolls in front Of him ON horseback
to Indianapolis. The Treasurer of State
called the Counties alphabetically. When

THE FIRST BANK IN
But as the days came and went, our roads
grew better and broader. Wagons finally
made their appearance on our rugged
"corduroys," then the wonderful stage-coach
drawn by four horses, which, relieved every
ten miles, made the distance to Madison
or Indianapolis in a day, from this place.
Our pioneer, being wide awake, often Wis
tied the above named cities. When in
Madison on business of his own on one oc-
~casion, he was aceosted by Mr.. John Serring,
Sr, and asked to take So, ZOO to Indian
apolis. He consented. The package was
delivered to him without receipt, but in
structed to take one when delivered to the
parties for whom it was intended. The dis
lance was travelled with this money in a
paper tied with a string, in open view, with
out fear or weapon of defense, although in
a stage-coach filed with passengers. This
money was to establish the first bank ever
opened in the city of Indianapolis, and Mr..
Merrill was the President.

A CABIN AND ITS FURNITURE.

NhDAN
A cabin may be square or longer than Its
width, as the trees are cut. In the days of
which / write there were no mills to saw
lumber, no machines, no window glass, no
bricks, and in this locality no stone. Conse-
~quently the settler chopped his trees, trimmed
his logs already on the ground, then asked
for all the help he could find to lay up the
logs, %chopping in the ends so as to make
them lie close together. When high enough
some poles and clapboards formed the roof.
A door was cut and a place for a chimney,
which was built on the outside of sticks and
mud, and wide enough to light the room in
stead of windows.
There were no floors. The house com.
pleted we will give the furniture. A forked
stick driven in the ground is the support
for a bedstead, finished by placing two rails
in the crotch, the ends crossed, with the
other end fastened in either wall; then a
layer of clap-boards; these covered with
leaves, or shucks if they had them, with
what bed clothes they CHANGED to have,
completed this rustic couch For a table
the door was taken from its hinges and laid
upon two blocks of wood. Instead of chairs.
long slabs with four pegs driven in for legs
were used. Tin cups, pewter plates, an
iron pot, oven and tea-kettle was the sum
total of table and kitchen ware.
