Woman's Rights in Burmah.

King Theebaw of Burmah, the big.
gest bully and brute in the world,
has at last found his match in wo-
man who can assert the right of her
sex. The Queen was recently con-
fined of her third child, which proved
daughter. Now King Theebaw
desires to have an heir to the throne
and he resoved, therefore, like Napo-
leon, to provide himself with anoth-
er wife. Indeed. he bettered Napoleon,
for he took two new wives, one of them,
the granddaughter of the Kan-Pat-
Menghee, and the other, the daughter
of a minor official. The Queen soon
heard of this, and she was unable to
go to the King, she sent him a peremp-
tory order to put away his new wives
at once. King Theebaw replied that
he should do nothing of the kind
that he was tired of Her Majesty, mas
much as she only presented him with
daughters, and that he was determined
to free himself from her control and
to be real king. Seven or eight days
were passed in angray messages, but
at the end of that time the Queen left
her apartments and went to tohse of
the King. Arriving there she seized
the mouarch, carried him off to her
own rooms, and locked him up with
the baby. She then went off and at
tended to affairs of state, her first act
being to cast the two new wives into
prison and to have them heavily mana.

The Family Rudder.

\ ComStock miner, who was hav-
ing his hair cut, gave the barber par
tlcuIar instructions not to move a
long lock that projected in a some
what unsightly way from the front
of his head.
At don't become you," said the bar
ber.
Cant help that said the custo-
mer.
Better Jet me take it off," and the
barber.
Just you leave it as it is" said the
man.
But persisted the barber. 81
can't give you smooth, decent cut
If leave the hair so long in the front.
1t will look like the very devil.
can't see what you want it left there
for
That's because You don't know the
use Of it,
Il know that it's a bunch of hair,
and know, that its unbecoming just
where it is"
~ eS, 1t is bunch OF hair, and 1T is
something more than bunch of hair
its the family rudder.'
The family WHAT"
"The family rudder. When things
don't go right at home my wife always
grabs that lock of hair. She would
feel lost without if. When she gets
hold of that she can handle me-steer
me in the right course, so to speak !;
and when | 60 in the right course the
whole family goes III the right course,
and all is we'll. I've got used to it now
and don't mind it-Should lose my
hair and become bald, or should you
give me fighting cut all over, there
would be no way of steering me. |
should become unmanageable, and
sooner or later total wreck. No sir;
don't you disturb the family rudder."

Society.

The most superficial observer Of the
manners and customs that obtain IN
"society.' cannot fail to find perpet-
ual proof of the truth Of the aphor-
ism: "The price we challenge for
ourselves is given us" In no particn-
lar is this more noticeable than in the
demeanor of young girls toward men,
bers of the opposite sex. There is be-
ing developed in certain quarters a
species Of good comradship between
young men and maidens which, how
ever productive of "joly good times"
hardly commends itself to those who
regard modesty, delicacy and dignity
as indispensable attributes of true wo-
manliness. 1t fosters "a tendency to
loudness in the girl, without exerting
any softening or refining influence on
the man. He regards the sharer of
his experiences and adventures as
"very good sort of fellow" who nei-
ther exacts nor expects the little SER
vices to which women are usually con-
sidered entitled, and before whom he
can with impunity smoke and lounge,
and otherwise transgress the propric-
ties which should regulate social in
tercourse. There are those who aver
that these comrades really smoke to-
gether and chat, aping the customs in
vogue in foreign society. They will
shortly invade our drawing rooms in
tea gowns and smoking jackets, bring
ing with them the easy manner-sug-
gestive of dress gowns and slippers
which prevail in social gatherings at
English country seats. In spite of
the abolition Of the restraints of the
old time courtesy, the youths are not
very greatly inclined to
seek the society OF the maidens who
are so very, very gracious, and whose
is proof against any amount
Of snubbing in the way of "declined"
invitations to act as escort or to ac-
cept hospitalities. So far from seek
ing her society, rumor has it that
more and more does the yoxng man
shun the ball, the reception, and most
piteous of all, matrimonial alliance.
As this vigorous paying of court to
men, and the working out of the
"comrade" idea, seem to have been
barren Of desirable notwithstanding
only to develop in men contempt for
women, which betrays itself in the
disrespectful tone men employ in
their intercourse with the "dear fell
lows" in bonnets-it might perhaps
be advisable for girls to challenge for
themselves higher price, bearing in
mind that men, in their sentimental
experiences, lightly hold that which
is easily won.

milk taster-general at the market
while munching a scrap of bread he
would partake of gratuitous draughts.
He always travelled to Paris on foot.
and, fearful lest he should be robbed,
took good care never to have more
than three-pence in his pocket; if he
needed more money, he begged on the
road. BY such methods, and lending
money to the French government, he
made a fortune Of 9S50,OOO, sprung
from single shilling.
During the very cold winter of 1884
he found it necessary to purchase
some extra fuel, and endeavored to
beat down the wood merchant in his
price. The man drove off, and Van
ollie stole few logs from the back of
the cart. In fastening away with
them, he became overheated and con-
tracted a bad fever. He sent for a
surgeon, telling him he wanted to be
bled. AS the surgeon charged half
livre, which he thought too much, a
barber was called in, who agreed to
open vein for three pence. "But,
friend" said the cautious miser, show
often will it be requisite to bleed me?"
''Three times" replied the barber.
''Three times. And, pray, what guam
tity of blood do you intend to take
from me at each operation "About
eight ounces each time." "That will
be nine pence; too much too much!
| know cheaper way take the whole
twenty-four ounces at once, and that
will save me sixpence!" He saved
his sixpence, but lost his life.

The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1882-03-21

Yesterday, nine members of the
Ogden City council handed in their re-
signations, in pursuance of a plan
agreed upon in a secret meeting of the
high council Of the Mormon church in
this stake. 1t is said that this action
is general throughout the territory,
and is n result of the passage of the
Edmunds bill. The evident purpose of
the movement is, undoubtedly, to show
to congress and the people that the
mormons intend to obey the law, but
the effect of it will be to show to both
congress and the people the absolute
truth Of the charge made by the gentiles
of the territory, that nearly all the Off
ces have been filled by polygamists, to
the exclusion of all others. When The
facts are understood, they will also show
that no officers have resigned whose
places might be filled by any appointing
power outside of the Mormon church.
Under the law, we believe, the author
ity to fill vacancies in the city council is
vested in the mayor, who is alleged to
be considerably married, and he 1t is
who has filled the vacancies in theicity
council. 1t is not to be presumed for
an instant Thai a polygamous mayor, or
other Mormon church official, would
appoint other than a Mormon to any of
fee; hence, the only change that has
taken place is in the selection, by the
church, of men who are not practical
pulygamists, at least, so far rs is known.
Congress will do well to bear this fact
In mind, for it shows hat the Mormon
church will never relinquish its power
until forced to do so, and that the only
way by which that power car be wrest-
ed from them is by placing government
of the territory in the hands of a legis-
IatIve commission, composed of men of
unquestioned and unquestiOnable 10y
atty and integrity. We think that this
latest move of the Mormons, following
in the wake of those petitions, will fur
nish all the evidence which congress
and the people desire concerning the
intentions of the leader, and this once
properly understood, the commission
will be sure to follow.-Ogden Pilot.

A STRANGE story comes from the
Mississippi valley. 1t is said that the
buffalo gnat is appearing in swarms,
and the poor cattle that have escaped
the foods are being killed by these lead
ly insects. TIE appearance of the gnat-
is OF course traceable to the swampy
lands made by the floods. And, by the
way ,yellow-fever is liable to result from
the same causes. By the time the sum.
mer's sun has beat upon these swamps
there will have been generated sufficient
malaria to inoculate the entire south.
1t is therefore highly important to dlain
all Of the swamps and dry up the marsh.

The Railroad Man and the Missionary

Two young and aspiring railroad men.
who were placed on the retired list
owing to the consolidation of Gould's
Southwestern roads, expressed them
selves rather emphatically, and in
language hat shocked the feelings of a
missionary who was sitting close by
listening to their remarks. He stood It
as long as he could, but finally he lost
his patience and walked up to the two
young railroad mon and reprimauded
them for using such profane language.
"You ought to know he said in con-
cluSion, THAT there are but two roads,
one leading to He'll and Damnation and
the other to Joy and Salvation; now
which one would you rather takeP'

men, after getting over his surprise in
being thus addressed, II don't think I'll
