The Supreme Court Of massachusetts, de-
cides formally that a woman is q "person"
within the meaning Of. the law Of that State;
and the same high authority decides infer
entially that His Excellency Benjamin F.
Batter Is nolawyer.
This Is the way it came about. Mrs. Clara
T. Leonard was member Of the Board oil
Health, Lupacy and Charity. Mrs. Leonard
was not seryicable to the Governor, and
the Governor took 1t into his head to turn
Mrs. Leonard out, planting himself on the
lofty ground that woman is not per
son." The full bench, and very distin.
guisled bench 1t is, justiGes the refusal q
the Council to accept the Governors view.
The statute provides that the board shall
be composed Of thine persons" Thecourt
has no doubt that in lis natural and usual
significance the word "persons" includes
women, and more than that 1t is constant
" 90 used 10 the statutes OF Massachusetts.
But the intent OF the law Is made clear be-
yond controversy by another section oil the
same statute which provides for the ap-
pointment Of "fiye persons, including two
women" to be Board OF TRUSTEE Of the
Almshouse, and elsewhere in the same
statute "a board OF seven trusted }, two oil
whom shall be women" The court said
It YVES not to be inferred that women could
not be appointed on other boards, but that
they must be appointed on those particular
boards.
Alter all that hrs been r1id by legisla-
tive bodies end by the courts it seems a
long leap backwards to stand on the ground
that woman iInot a person. A woman ia
also citizen, although tho courts in some
Safes will not giant her all the rights OF
citizenship. In Me- :achusett3 It is provl.
ded by statute that citizen Of that State,
Of the age OF twenty.one years and OF good
moral characer, may be admitted to prac.
tice az an attorney. Yet case coming up
under that statute, the Supreme Court
held that while in the common sense NO.
men are citizens the statute ives not pre-.
sumed to intend to use the word s9 inclu-
ding women, because that was against the
unbroken ussge Of the Commonwealth.
The court might also have added that it
was against the unbroken prejudice oftAe
bar. That reasoning, however, could be
very easily overcome by an act Of Legisla-
ture.
In every State women ought to BIO adj
mitted to tho bar on equal terms with men.
The law allows them fee scope in all other
employment:-why not in the profit ZION
and practice Of the law? II woman is
not ct for the law that y her misfortune.
She will show her unfitnesy and she will
not succeed. The man who cannot hold
his own against woman has no right to
block her way. Women are advancing.
They have reason to congratulate them
selves on the progress they have made, aud
the end Is not yet.

How the Father orHis Country was Left
move Than once.
Nee York Correspondence HaHhds CITY Journal.
Warlike sentiments on certain snbjeets
still fingered in the heart Of Washington
on that peaceful morning q hundred years
ago, when he resumed possession OF this
city. As he crossed spuyten DuyviI creek
and made his way upon the island the
the night before, he received message TO
tarry, as Sir Guy Carleton was not yet EN-
barked. So he directed his steps to great
imposing wooden house on Washington
Heights, still standing, and known as the
Jumel place. This house, twenty.seyen
years before had been his Mecca. Here
he courted the beautiful and wealthy Mary
Phillips; here for weeks he fingered in the
light OF her blue eyes; .ere LIE left her at her
fathers till he could hurry Of and capture
Fort Duquesne and come back, and here
in that fatal inter val came Capt. Morris
and captured Mary Phillipse and married
her before Washington return. It wssan
awful lesson to the father OF his country
and he solemnly resolved never to be
caught out again in matters Of that kind:
It was the second blow; first the lowland
beauty Miss Grimes, afterwards mother OF
the Lee family, and then the fAithlees
Mary. He had somewhat recovered from
the fitting on this peaceful morning speak
OF, for the Morris family had largely multi.
piled by this time; but the spot was still
sore. Tradition has 1t that he went over
and sat again in the Phillipse parlor and
meditated. =,
"Where Is your master? ?" he inquired OF
darkey on the porch concerning his for
mer rival.
"He gone wild de Bridish, sab, wen de
wah fust bruk out" said the humble servi.
tor, IAN Missus she is crost de ribber, and
is very porely, sab, an mavsa he was shot
wen he was taken Fote Moldetree, down
in Carliny 70 year ago."
The visitor knew that well enough, but
he was fond OF hearing it over again. "And
massa, day du dat all dis great fine estate
heah is gwine to be corpfsticated by de
deylish rebels. Dat can't be, sah." Wash.
ington evaded the question. Bot a year
later the great fine estate ives confscated
and sold to Jumel by the government, and
Washington does not seem to have inter.
posed to save 1t for Mary and the babies.
He ought to have been grateful to her for
teaching him such noble Lesson; for he
learned it so well that when Martha Gusts
dawned on him, he justsst down by her and
didn't let her get away from him. But she
was widow and perhaps didn't want 10
get away.

The total immigration to the United
States for 1882 at all ports was about
$4,000. Germany sent 232, 900;
England and Wales, 1000, Ireland,
10000; Scotland, 1900; Sweden
$4,000; Norway, $1,000; Canada, 49,
900; all other countries, 16O,OOO. line
arrivals in the last three months show
decided falling off, those of December
showing decline of about 20 per cent.
Those who have been close observers
of immigration for many years think
it has reached its maximum. 1t Is
believed there may be an influx OF
Russians in the present year, and they
are the most enterprising people VINO
come, going Immediately to the west
and establishing new homes. TheI
powers of endurance are wonderful
The tide of immigration which has
set in from the mountain districts OF
Hungary is beginning to occupy tne
attention of the Hungarian Govern

Gallician frontier to get across WIN

A Battle with the Bees Of the Buttes'
From the Gridley Herald.

From the urlulty
For nearly fifteen years past colo
nv of bees have had their quartz rs
in large cave situated on the highest
bluff of the Buttes. They have occu-
pied the place so long that the rock is
generally known as "Bee Rock 1t
is located about half mile northwest
of South Butte, and stands alone at
the head of an extensive and pictur-
esque glen. The rock is about 81 by
100 feet at the base, and is from to
6 feet wide on top. To reach the top
from three sides it is necessary to
climb perpendicular wall from $50
to 200 feet in height. The top is ac-
cessible at only one point, and there
by crawling through a crevice barely
wide enough for man to pass. Then
a bridge 20 feet long and foot wide
has to be crossed. 1t is about 400
feet from the bridge to the ground
beneath. On the 18th of last month
a party of men living in the neig h
borhood of Pennington went to the
place determined to rob the mammoth
hive. They were supplied with pow
der, fuse, drills, bars, ETC., with which
to assail the stronghold. Few of the
invaders had nerve enough to cross
the bridge, but three of them got over
all right and fired blast. The re-
suit was a cloud of bees that made
them retreat. Next day the assaults
were renewed. After lively battle of
three hours the bees were defeated.
The dead bees filled three grain sacks
to OVERLOOKING. The cave was then
blasted open and the party found
solid mass of honey in the comb two
and half feet thick. The expedition
was success, but many of the par
Elephants paid dear for their victory.

Farmers In Europe and Texas.
Midland Review.

Americans often wonder wbv !, :.
that farmers from Europe all sesn'
to prosper and grow rich when tIau
settle in this country. The matter !,
easily explained. In most Of ths
countries of Europe farming is attend
ed with many difficulties and the nj
most care and diligence are necesssr,,
to insure good harvest. The fams,
must labor from morning until NIGHT
and must use every available foot ~
ground. The amount of land 10 ha
cultivated is limited, and therefore tbs
soil must be made to produce its NJ
most capacity. Industry and frupal;tv
are necessary characteristics Of tbss
farmers of Europe, and when he emf
CRATES to America he brings with him
the habits and customs which wers
so necessary to his success at home
and in these characteristics lies tbe
secret of his prosperity. The emf.
grant from Europe expends on his
Texas farm only the same amount of
time and attention that he was accus.
toned to do at home, and his labors
produce much greater results. he
exercises the same economy that he
did in the old country, and in conse.
quence improves his condition every
year, and finally becomes rich. Our
native American farmers would do
well to study the habits and customs
of the sturdy German, Swiss, Norwe.
gian and Bohemian farmers who are
settling in this country and developing
it's wonderful agricultural resources.
The rich, productive soil Of Texas
has no equal on the face of the globe,
and only industry and frugality are
necessary for any farmer to grow rich
in a a few years.

We are aware that ticks are sold filled

A bed of this kind is not the kind Of
husk bed we have in mind. To make
the very best possible Dusk bed, save
the kusks from the green corn as it is
daily used. The husks are coarse and
should be slit. An old fashioned
hatchel, where their is such an nipple
ment, answers well, but a substitute
can be made by driving few large
nails through a board, and filing them
sharp. Drawing the husks across
these will slit them into threads an
inch or less wide. An old carving
fork may be used to slit the husks.
Then put them to dry in a garnet or
