The influence OF women in journalism
in the United States is Tar creator than
appears ON the surface. The fact that
there are sixty papers and periodicals
openly edited and published by women
gives but very small fractional idea OF
the extent OF their connection with jour
nalism. The number Of female contrib
utors 10 all classes of papers and maya
zines is not known 10 the general pub
lie, and not always even 10 the publish
ers, from the fact that in the highest
class OF periodicals they frequently adopt
male MONS de plume. while many others
form part Of the editorial staff Of influ-
entail journals, where, as personal con-
lributors. sex is not recognized.

And cen the sabbaths quiet

erers consequent occupation, 20 quietI,
steal away--a fact which greatly ex
asperated the farmer, who was forced I,
vent his displeasure in divers angry NUT
terings and vigorous hourisbes Of hi
cudgel.
George Dyer grew rapidly in favol
with all the members Of the farmer
family, and not least with Nora. In
deed, she and the new hand got OF
famously together. Nora, though I
farmers daughter, had a mind bette
trained and better stored with knowleds,
than many boarding-school graduate
and George Dyer, though farm labor
or, seemed TO have been an extensive
and thoughtful reader-so that there
was a wide field OF subjects for the two
10 converse about. History, fiction,
poetry - they discussed them ali by
turns and, we may be sure, in their
numerous evening walks and talks, they
found time 10 speak Of other matters Of
more immediate personal concern.
George Dyer had been staying ON the
place nearly three months when Hiram
Gooch, whose farm joined her fathers,
came out plump and plain one day, and
asked Nora would she be his wife-to
which Nora as plumply and plainly an
swered that she wouldn't
At the first knowledge Of this the
farmer was little vexed. Not that he
thought Nora and Hiram particularly
suited to each other, but then the two
farms were, and Nora was an only child.
But Farmer Bryson was far too kind a
father TO think Of forcing his daughters
inclinations.
"ff Nora doesn't want you for hus.
band" he said TO Hiram, when the lat.
ter laid the case before him, 81 don't
see how I'm 10 help YOU"
And. when Hiram limited at the extent
Of fathers authority in the matter of
family government. the farmer answered
that, since the Declaration of Independ-
ence, he thought there were a good
many things in which family govern
ment, like other governments, derived
It's just powers from the consent of the
governed.
II was but little while after that an
other sutton for Noras hand presented
himself before the farmer-no other,
this time, than George Dyer, the new
hand.
The farm opened his eyes pretty
widely.
"Have 20. ,l.oten to Nora 2" he in
quired.
"I have"
"And what's her answer ?"
"A consent, subject to your APP
prevail"
The farmer drew a long breath and
looked grave.

For more than forty years what is
known as "The Sun Cholera Medi
cine" has stood the test Of experience
as the best remedy for loOseness OF the
bowels ever yet devised. AS was once
vOuched for by the New York Journal
Of Commerce, "no one who has this by
him and takes il in time will ever have
the cholera" Even when no cholera
is anticipated it is an excellent thing
for the ordinary summer complaints,
collie, diarrbea, dysentery, &C., and
we have no hesitation in commencing
il. Here it is: Take equal parts of
tincture of cayenne, tincture of opium,
tincture ofrhubarb, essence of pepper
mint and spirits OF camphor. Mix
we'll. Dose, fifteen to thirty drops in
a wineglass of water, according to age
and violence of the attack. Repeat
every fifteen or twenty minutes until
relief is obtained.

that China has little affair at Lam

A new horse-stealing swindle is be-
ing worked in Texas. Two fellows
watch the columns of the newspapers
tor estray notices. As soon as they
learn that a ranchman has taken up a
stray animal, one Of them visits the
place, examines the horse infinitely
and says it isn't his. The other pal,
being posted by the FIRST, then goes to
the guileless ranchman and describes
the animal he has lost, which descrip.
ton tallies so exactly with the one the
ranchman has taken up that he thinks
the stranger must be the owner and
gives it up without further proof.
Then the supposed owner talks about
the distance to his home, &c, and &
nally offers to sell it at about half its
value. The unsuspecting ranchman
often bites at this opportunity and af-
ter he has gloated over his bargain for
few days, the real owner comes
along, proves his property and leaves
the victim where Joseph was.

Ever since the close Of the war, the

grievous burdens of taxation, which
have kept the millions poor, indeed,
while the millionaires have fattened
on their substance. A patient and
long suffering people demand release
from these burdens so far as their du.

ment will permit. They want fewer
ofiice-holders and less machinery in
office; in other words. that the govern.

simplicity which the theory upon
which il is founded contemplates.

will be less of corruption, less of that

can not be said to be much popular
demand in England for marriages with
deceased wives sisters. There are cas-
es, however, where its illegality causes
real hardship and there are no cases
where It's legality could work any
harm. Lord Dalhousie has advocated
it with extraordinary zeal; the Prince
Of Wales and his brothers have taken
sides with him; the public, so far as it
cared for the bill at all, has pronounc.
ed in its favor. Yet the Bishops have
chosen to oppose it and the Peers have
thrown it out. II is one more notch
which the English nation will set
against the Bishops and the Peers.
