contemporary, who when in that

ed her mind after becoming a resident

her observation the only effect Of
women suffrage in that Territory i. to
give 3 married man two votes instead
of one and an additional vote for each
grown up daughter. Women will not
attend primaries, and at,regular elec.
tions the married women take their
tickets from their husbands and vote
them without scratching. But the
most interesting feature is that the
women of Wyoming generally think
voting bore and do not want TO have
anything to do with it. The witness

WHEN WOMEN RULED.-The sixteenth
and seventeenth annual reports of the trus-
tees of the Peabody Museum Of American
Archaeology and Ethnology make notice
able volume. The most entertaining article
is that of Lucien Carr on the social and po-
litical position of women in early times,
among the Indian tribes east of the Missls-
sippi and south of the st. Lawrence and the
great lakes. Among other things Mrs. Carr
says:
In matters of war the man was theoretic-
ally free to do as he pleased, but practically
he was not so, for the matron of his house
hold might forbid his departure, and she
could order him to 60 out on the war path,
even when he preferred peace. In her
hands was the fate of prisoners; she could
adopt them into the family or order them
to be burned, and in the latter case no one
could save them. When chief died the
matron Of his household appointed his sue
cessor, and women could depose chief
whom they disliked.
1t was woman who transmitted nobility
of blood and inheritance, and who perpetu-
ated the family. They possessed all author
ity, were the owners of land, the soul OF the
councils, and the arbiters of peace and war
They had the care of the treasury and OF all
social and family matters. Men were only
the representatives of woman, to act for
her in those affairs in which it was not be-
coming for her to act for herself These
tribes, in which women held all the power
and influence which the Woman's rights
party asks for women to-day were only par

BALANCE IN CHARACTER.-Few persons
are possessed of a perfectly balanced nature.
Amiability is apt to be allied with weak
ness vigorous, pushing character is often
impulsive, harsh and unjust. A reflective
mind is slow to act; prompt mind is often
wrong. So through all the elements of
character. All the qualities that 60 to make
up perfect moral nature rarely appear in
one person. The physical and intellectual
do not precisely conform; the mental and
moral are not evenly balanced. There are
those possessed ofstronger moral than men
tai natures. They constitute the spasmodic,
impulsive element in society. There are
others whose intellects so absolutely control
their moral natures, that nothing is admit
ted that cannot be reasoned out satisfacto-
rily. There are persons whose strong ami
NAL natures dominate all else, and both
mind and spirit are subservient.
TO regulate all these parts so as to attain
fair degree Of equality is the right step
toward securing what may be called bal
ance in character.-Phiadelphia CaN.
