Anthony has arrived aud the feminine talent
of the western hemisphere will be here next
week to attend the woman's national suffrage
convention. Mr. Raynor's recent TRADE on
the sex in the case of Mrs. Capt. Mary Miller
has aroused q storm of indignation against
him that may we'll make him tremble. Miss
Anthony has declared that she will yet make
him feel sorry of tho day he was born Of a
woman. Other equally spirited leaders of the
Amazonian phalanx have expressed like de-
termination to snatch the solicitor of the
treasury baldheaded when they come to WASH

as to whether he is in the vicinity or not. II
he is hero it might be we'll for him to stow
himself away in one of tho treasury vaults

SOMETHING remarkable happened in the house
yesterday. vote of thanks to the British gov
eminent for the steamship Alert, which is to be
used in the Greedy relief expedition, was adopted
without debate or opposition of any kind. The
dispatch does not state what has become OF
Messrs. Fnorty and Robinson who might have
been expected to object to such handshaking
with the British lion. Philadelphia Ledger. Feb. 26.
The Ledger has done Mr.. Robinson great
injustice. He is not the man to skulk when
tho British lion is to be confronted. Mr..
Robinson was present in his seat when the
Alert resolution came over from the senate,
and he promptly objected when unanimous
consent was asked that it might be put on its
passage. On account of Mr.. Robinson's OBJ
lection the resolution went over, and was
not passed, as the Ledger incorrectly states.
