The status of the woman suffrage
question is reviewed at some length by
an eastern journal, and the conclusion
is reached that the record of 1884 is neg
alive without exception. In Iowa both
houses refused even to submit to pro-
posed constitutional amendment to
popular vote. In Massachusetts, the adj
verse vote was worse than two to one,
GA to 5O.) In New-Jersey the matter
went no further than facetious debate.
In Oregon, the popular vote on constitu
tional amendment, stood about six to one
in it's favor In New York, the suffrage
for women was reputed advisely in the
senate ten to one, and last on vote in
the house. In Utah, whatever the ex-
PLANTATION may be, the women vote for
the church and polygamy. Hence, the
bill now pending in congress disfran-
chises the women. The question came
up in the British Parliament upon a
motion to amend the pending franchise
bill by including the principle of wom-
an suffrage. The vote was 1853 yeas,
271 nays. The size of the majority is
doubtless due to Mr.. Gladstone's vigor-
GUS speech declaring that the ministry
would abandon the bill if the amend
ment should prevail. While women
have been allowed to practice law and
medicine, and to preach, and to COM
mend steamboats,, thequestion Of voting
is relegated to the future.

Medical experts at Toulon have pro-
nounced the cholera cases in that city
to be of the true Asiatic type, thus dis
slpatlng the theory that the present out
break OF the disease was wholly due to
neglect of local sanitary arrangements,
Hough Toulon and Marseilles are the
nastiest cities in southern Europe. In one
view local neglect favors and fosters the
foreign fatal agent, but it pursues it's
course without this auxiliary. Indeed,
in presence of fixed facts there is too
much time wasted in theorizinQ. II
matters little in the death -throe Of the
patient whether this plague of plaques
is contagious or infectious. The best
way is to regard it in both aspects, and
take precautionary and preventive
measures accordingly.

Mr.. Bronson Alcott attributes his long
life to subsistence on dry Concord Phil
osophy and plain vegetables. But there
is Mrs. Baker of Taylorsville, Va, who
is more than dozen years Mr. Alcotts
senior, and she has made practice of
eating meat and drinking dozen cups
of strong coffee every day The coffee
might have killed old Alcott, but certain
it is that Mrs. Baker would have starved
to death long ago on diet of Concord
philosophy and baked potatoes.
Some time since Miss Lizzie Newman
stopped in doorway on Second street,
Louisville, during shower. A pleas
ant-voiced lady noticed her standing
there and invited her up stairs. Miss
Newman took advantage of the offer.
Up stairs she met William Crittenden,
a man who had lost both eyes while
herding cattle on the plains of Texas.
Crittenden thought it would be pleasant
desperately. What he said jokingly,
she understood in hard earnest. Be-
fore they separated Crittenden had
changed his mind, and asked the girl
seriously to marry him. She accepted
the offer, and on the next night at 9
o'clock the two were united by Justice
John Gosnell.

Eleven wives is the number Of women
that Peter Tatro claims he was married
to, and of these five have been found
living and we'll, each mourning the loss
OF the husband The other half dozen
will, no doubt be found within short
time. Tatro was sentenced in the
United States district court, on Monday,
under the name of John A. Moore, and
sent to the Eastern Penitentiary for two
years and fined $500. He was charged
with having personated apension agent
and forging a pc nsioner's name to a
voucher. The man is fifty-three years
OF age, and native of Franklin county,
N. Y. He is agreeable in manners and
his ways were so enhancing that within
to become his wife after
brief courtships. The gay deceiver
appeared at Brockport, N. Y, in 1873,
and after brief wooing made Miss
Ella Webb his wife, giving his name as
j. Stone. The honeymoon was not over
before the man began desperate firta-
ton with widow named Parsons of
Candor, N. Y, and in month he de-
serted the Brockport wife and made
Mrs. Parsons Mrs. Sheldon Burleigh.
In few months he tired of this female,
and early one morning he took train
for the West. He concluded to stop off
at South Bend, Ind, and, under the
name OF Il. @: Pomer1E, proclaimed
himself a United Stated Provost Mar
shall. The mans manners made him
favorite, and, in the goodness of his
heart, he offered to prosecute number
of doubtful pension claims always TAX
ing care to obtain small fee. While
engaged in this business he married
Miss Mason. But his wi ckedestex-
plot was at Wabash, Ind. In 1878,
under the name of J. W. jerks,
he became acquainted with Miss M. G..
Stewart. Like her pr edecessors,
she in turn became the wife of the vii
lain. He induced her to dispose of
farm for ST. 800 and HE with him to his
mansion in California. At Chicago he
obtained possession of her money, and
left her at hotel penniless. In 1879
the oily-tongued scamp made his APP
pearance in Allegheny county, and, I'M
der the name of John Hoax, was con-
victed of grand larceny. He served
three years for this crime. AS soon as
he was released from the work house
he resumed his swindling career and
was found in Cumberland, Md, acting
as special examiner of pensions, Civ
ing the name of A. G. Webb. Here he
won the heart of Mrs. J. P. Anderson,
widow. He was detected at Cumber-
land in his swindling and fled to Mari
ettea, where he was arrested He pro-
cured sums of money varying from 81 |
to $50 from numerous persons and lived
in clover. Among his other names
were James Thompson, j. Thomas,
Rev. John Tiff and Col. Bates. Phila-

Judges and Jurymen, is the it'll

Judges and Jurymen," is the title
of an able paper in the North Ameri-
can Review for July, from the pen of
Judge Pitman of the superior court
of Massachusetts. Trial by jury,
he thinks, is not yet outgrown,
though murmurs against it are heard
more frequently of late than formerly.
1t has had great value as an educational
influence. As de Tocqueville says, "it
teaches men to practice equity; every
man learns to judge his neighbor as he
would himself be Judged, and this is the
soundest preparation for free institu
ton" He gives some leading features
ofjury judgment which he thinks are
liable to be more correct than the judg-
ment of ajudge. Active and busy men of
various occupations are clearly better
qualified to decide what an average
man would do than single Judge of
sedentary pursuits, accustomed to re-
Election and caution, can be. One OBJ
lection to compelling the court
to try questions of fact would be
that, as Judge PItman thinks, it
would impair the confidence
of litigants in it's impartiality.
The Judge in deciding questions of
law speaks from superior knowledge,
and the itigants accept his judgment as
probably sound and as subject to cor
rection if wrong, by the highest court,
but in deciding questions of fact he must
come to conclusions upon matters in re-
gard to which the laity think themselves
as well informed and as competent to
form Judgment as he, and an opinion
which they think wrong they would too
readily ascribe to Partially orprejudice.
Juries being necessary, Judge Pitman
thinks they can be greatly improved by
more care in their selection, their own
treatment in various respects, and the
removal of the requirements of unanim-
ity in civil cases. The Judge thinks
that the agreement of three fourths of
the jury, with the approval of the court,
ought to be sufficient in civil cases, and
in this opinion, as in his other sugges-
tons, the public will agree with him,
while they will most strenuously oppose
the clamor of thoughtless journalists
for the abolition of the jury system.

A recent writer combats the idea that
the county is in danger from Plutocracy,
or the money power, because fortunes
are sure to be divided up at the death
of the owner, and the heirs in most
cases squander the great fortune much
more rapidly than it was accumulated.
The moral reason at the bottom is not
in the least obscure. The fortune
maker is nerved to lay aside his gains
by the memory Of early hardships and
privation. The heir knowing moth
ing of these trials, has no concep-
ton of the value of money, and &C.
cordingly wastes it. The writer con-
cludes that no aristocracy thrives per-
manently except one that is based on
land. It must be possessed also of men
tai or physical endowments superior to
that of the common run of men. In
the rudest phases of society the aristo-
GRAFT is the heaviest fighter. If he is to
hold his own in these days, he must be
intellect ually superior to his fellow
men, and then again, the asse ssor, the
common school, and the ambitions for
political preferment, the latter depend
ing wholly on the favor of the people,
are too much for the long life of aris-
tOcracy
