this convention, but her place was
ably filed by Susan B. Anthony, the
foremost pioneer of the movement,
who has, for thirty years, toiled un-
remittingly in this work. Miss An
thony is a genuine type of the agrees
sive, persistent, strong-minded New
England woman, who knows her own
strength, aud feels that it is equal,
fully equal to that of any other man.
Her mental vision is clear, her wit as
caustic, her humor as dry as in the
past. She possesses the same home
ly, pratical common sense for which
has always been distinguished, and
instinctively and unerringly applies
the right means to the right ends.
She has so long borne the cross of a
crusader that the experience seems
only to have strengthened her, and
made her more earnest and resolute.
She is going to Europe soon for a
little recreation, but says she will be
at her post again before the next
Washington convention, which is APP
pointed for January, 1884.
The closing session was remark

Old men and women sat thinking of
the great social change that had been
wrought by these reformers. There

others contrasted the mighty changes

land of New York are causing much
distress to certain class of his
friends. He walks from his residence

ly doesn't mean to spend more than
$4,000 of his $1,000 salary.

In the discussion of the tariff bill
in congress the statesman is swallow
ed up by his local interests and every
body is voting and fighting for some
interest of his own state which will
be effected by change in the tariff.
The democrats, who on general prin-
ciples are free traders, always turn
protectionists when some local bust
ness or interest is at stake.

THE CHLuNEY'S SONG.

Over the chimney the night wind sang,
And the chanted melody no one knew;
And the woman stopped as her babe she tossed
And thought Of the one she had long since
lost,
And said, as the teardrops back she forced:
Il hate the wind in the chimney"
Over the chimney the night wind sang,
And ehanted melody no one knew;
And the children said as they closer drew:
"'Iis some witch that is cleaving the black
night through
lis fairy that jus then blew,
And we fear the wind in the chimney"
Over the chimney the night wind sang,
And chanted melody no one knew;
And the man, as he sat on the hearth below,
Said to himself: 'It will surely snow.
And fuel is dearer, and wages low
And I'll stop the leak in the chimney"
Over the chimney the night wind sang,
And chanted a melodyno one knew;
But the poet listened and smiled, for he
Was man, woman and child-all three.
And he said: at is Gods own harmony
The wind that sings in the chimney"

THE PALACE or ART

run OF great rooms and small the palace stood
All various, each perfect whole
From living Nature, fit for every mood
And change of my still soul
For some were hung with arras green anc
blue,
Showing gaudy summer morn
Where with puffed cheek the belted hupte,
blew
His wreathed bugle horn
One seemed all dark and red-a tract of sand
And some one pacing there alone.
Who paced forever in a glimm- ring land.
Lit with a low, large moon.
One showed an iron coast and angry waves,
You seemed to hear them climb and fall.
And roar, rock-thwarted, under believing
caves
Beneath the windy wall
And one fulfilled river, winding slow
BY herds upon an endless plain,
The ragged rims of thunder brooding low,
With shadow streaks of rain.

A Husking Bee.

= Jeremy Jory was a farm hand, who
drank his full share of cider and did his
, full share of work in Squire Hoyt's
meadows. He was a big, brown.
brawny fellow, with eyes as blue as
skim milk and hair that looked darker
than it really was, for " his brow was
wet with honest sweat most Of the
time. His mother had been a sarvant
in the Squire's family for years before
she was married, and soon after fell into
the lucrative habit of "helping over at
the house. So Jeremy's earliest re-
collections were of the Squire's kitchen,
Of his pleasant door yard and these
same meadows where he was now
working. As a boy he had robbed
birds nests, tormented the COWS and
helped himself literally from the
Squile's choicest trees in the several
seasons, until at last the Squire pitied
Sue Bennett-he never called her bv
other than her maiden name-and took
her boy into his employ He "never
would believe there was nothin' bad |
about jerry, nohow, and the old man
was right, for as the lad grew older he
became one of the best hands on the
farm.
He was now twenty-five years of age,
''old enough to be settlin' down, " the
Squire told him, and Jerry blushed
through all his sunburn and made up his
mind to ask Phoebe Burt that very day
to marry him. Jerry had loved Phoebe
all his life, and had never teased her
very much), even at the age when girls
appear legitimate objects of torment for
boys. Many time had he received
because when they went over the
hills together "that Burt girl came back
with her pail full of berries so as she
could hardly carry it. While Jerry's
kettle might ha' held another quart as
easy as not"
1t was a singular fact, also, that at
such times Jerry's hands were torn and {
bleeding, while Phebe's showed but few
scratches
Phoebe had grown to be the prettiest
girl in the village, and knew it. She did '
he work that Sue Bennett used to do at |
he Squire's, and so had the opportunity
o lead poor Jerry the life that every S
pretty, saucy, wilful little hirt leads
he man she loves best in all the 0
world.
On the particular day when the Squire r

The Worlds Exposition.

New ORLEANS, Oct. 19.-Director
General Burk, of the worlds indus
trial cotton and centennial exposition.
to-day, issued a prospectus and gener-
al announcement, In which he SAYS
the world's industrial and cotton cen
tennial exposition was inaugurated
by a resolution of the national cotton
planters association OF America, at
their annual convention in October,
1882. 1t was originally the intention
to designate it as simply
the worlds cotton centen-
NAL year, 1884 being the centennial
anniversary of the first expectation of
the first cotton from America but sub
sequently this intention was abandon
ed and the scope of the enterprise was
enlarged making it the Worlds In
dustral Exposition thus impartino a
national and international character.
which is still more emphaticallv con-
hrmed by an act of congress
creating an exposition and an
immediate causeof the determination
to hold such an exposition was the
expression of a general desire among,
progressive agriculturists and indus
trlallsts of the cotton states to promote
means whereby the people of all ma
lions could obtain a knowledge Of the
resources, capacity and products of
the southern states of America. and
at the same time enable the people of
those states to align themselves with
a universal spirit.

tor himself. She stated that she bad
been approached by various em;ssar-
les of the senator urging her to agree
to a divorce. Among them were
Messrs. Bush, Rowell and Rockwell
The senator had himself agreed to
give her half million if she would
agree to divorce and quit the state
THE MOST SENSATIONAL PART
of her testimony was the story Of the
divorce, which, it will be remember
ed, was rushed through late in the af-
terneon before Judge Harrington.
She testified that, although she had
signed the necessary papers, she did
not expect, when she went into court,
that a decree of divorce would be
granted. She says that she swOre upon
oath, in answer to the judges ques-
ton that she did not willingly ask for
the divorce, and that she does not be-
lieve that the senator is legally divorc-
ed FROM her.
This belief has been held by many
ever since the granting Of the decree,
but it created d genuine sensation in
the court room in coming from Mrs
Tabor's lips. The spectators immedi-
ately began a hum of gossip, and
were raped to order. Several of the
attorneys also remarked that they did
not believe the decree was legal, and
even went so far as to criticise Judge
Harrington for his action in the face
of Mrs. Tabor's protestation that she
did not willingly ask for the decree.
The suit lasted three days and on
the third the jury gave the plaintiff
verdict Of $3,036.05.

The Harvard Accident.

BOSTON, Oct. 20-A platform crowd
ed with spectators watching the sew
eral races of Harvard, on Charles
river, broke down. Several We're Sc
rlously injured, having legs and arms
broken. Most of the injured are Har-

South Boston, class of 81, had his
skull fractured and both legs broken.
He will probably die. The injuries OF
nine others are principally fractures
of limbs.
The crews were getting into line for
the start. About $50 students had
crowded to the front of the two bal
comics which stand out from the river
front Of the Harvard boat house.
About an equal number were on each
balcony, and all were pressing forward
to sec the race, when both balconies
gave away precipitating many into
the river, while many others standing
on the lower balcony were pinned
down and bruised by the fall of the
upper balcony upon them. Fortu-
nately it was but half tide, so those
who fell into the river escaped with
only a wetting. AS quickly as posi-
bic the upper platform was raised and
several men released In a more or less
injured condition and carried into the
boat house, Physicians were sent for
and promptly responded
The most of those seriously injured
are hurt internally. The names as
ascertained are:

person entered the stable at Beacon

in the vicinity saw man leading the
mare away, but, thinking it was all
right, allowed him to pass out Of the
track unmOlested.
