A Feminine Trait.

A mans foes are those of his own
household, and the keenest enemies of
women are women themselves. No one
can iniiict such humiliation on a woman
rs a woman can when she chooses; for
if the art of high-handed snubbing be-
longs to men, that of subtle wounding
is peculiarly feminine, and is practiced
by the best bred of the sex. Women are
always more or less antagoniStic to each
other. They are gregarious in fashion
and cumulative in follies, but they cannot
combine; they never support their weak
sisters; they shrink from those who are
stronger than the average; and if they
would speak the truth boldly, they
would confess to a radical contempt for
each others intellect, which perhaps is
the real reason why the sect of the GEM
ancipated' commands so small a fol-
lowing. Half a dozen men advocating
emancipation" doctrines would do
more toward leavening the whole bulk
of womankind than any number of first
class women. Where they do stand by
each other it is from instructive or per-
sonal affection rather from class solid
arity. And this is one of the most
striking distinctions of the sex, and one
cause among others why men have the
upper hand, and why they are able to
keep it.

John Jessrang, of st. Paul, Mimi
eSota, was lynched at Glendale, Mon
tana, week ago, for the murder of
fellOw-traveler named Davidson. Jess
rang had attempted to burn the body
of his victim, in order to conceal the
crime. The night previous to the
lynching Jessrang was taken from jail
by mob and drawn up by the neck six
times, in order to extract a confession
from him; but he would not admit any
knowledge of the crime.
DIR. Cramer, ex-President Grants

had created disturbance at the Meth

upon he has been reminded that he is

said the verdict was not what the court

recourse. An Indignation meeting of

threats OF violence are freely made
against Dukes.

Saturday night in OnestOry- and loft

attache and ending as chancellor of the
Russian empire. Virtually his last
service to his sovereign was rendered
