poPULAR DEFINITIONS.

BY THE BARD OF TOWER HALL.
The times are sadly out of Joint.
And so, perhaps this song
But still the cantO we viii write,
In hopes to right the wrong.
The dictionaries Of the day
Are filled with gross abuse
Or else the people quite mistake
Ihe phrases now in use.
To wit, the phrase a Gentleman"
We write the meaning plain
A thing cOrpOreal, strutting round
with neither heart nor brain
Marked on the scale of quality
By style of boots or hat,
The collars shining altitude,
Or tic Of the cravat.
And then the phrase: "A Villain" Who2
The merchant who has made
A shipWTeck Of his means and homes
Upon the sea Of trade.
Though honor ever kept the helm,
And prudence trimmed the sail
The hidden reef has wrecked the barquc
That mOcked the muddeuing gale.
villain! Who? the shipwrccked man:
BY seas and tempests tOsSed2
what care the shippers? Nillain yes,
II their effects are lost.
Intention Is a worthless plea;
Misfortunes all are crimes:
The golden rule stale idea:
OmnipOtence-be dimes
And then again, the phrase "A cheat
The man who has not paid
The bills he made for bread to eat,
When on sick bed laid,
But he may pay when health again
His pailid brow shall crown:
'Tis but pauper's plea for time
swindler write him down.
Now hear defined "a Financier."
a man Of wealth and gain
Who swindles by no plebeiau rule,
But by a coup dc main
Justice upon his jewelled shield,
Finds neither rent nor flaw;
golden ladder takes him up
Above the reach of law.
But then there is another phrase,
Well understood by all;
lis sylaOled in magic words,
The famed "Old Tower Hall"
Ana none its meaning may mistake,
For everybody knows
II means the place, of all the best
For men to buy their clothes

Woman Suffrage.

The Convention ia Hartford Yesterday.
to address Hartford audience Sunday even
ing, did not arrive. Mrs. Isabella Beecher
Hooker supplied her place, making an inter-
esting address on the woman suffrage ques-
ton. The woman suffrage convention
opened in Hartford yesterday morning, when
Miss Anthony made the principal address.
She was greeted with great applause when
she appeared. She began by saying that in
England there was no interest in women's
rights for several years after it was estab-
lished In this country. She spoke of the
manner in which the work had grown in
England; how, when the subject was first
thought of, Parliament voted it down, but
that now the women of England vote on all
municipal matters. In the city of Manches-
ter Miss Lydia E. Becker, who is secretary OF
the Woman's Suffrage association, was
elected member of the school board,
and has from time to time been re
elected In various towns in Eng
land women are in the school boards. 1t has
just been discovered in England that a NO.
man was eligible to the office of Poor Law
Guardian, and in that country there are nov
thirty-three poor law guardians Miss
Anthony said that a prominent English
suffrage woman made the remark to her that
American ''woman's rights'' women were
not equal to those of England. Miss An
thony In response named some prominent
American women and asked her to name
some English women who were superior to
them and she was obliged to give it up.

Photographers without sun-No Work
For Weeks Except by the Electric
Light.
New YORK, March 1.-THE lack of sun
light during the last two months has serious
ly interfered with the photographers, who
have been unable to work for weeks at time
A visit to few of the leading men in the
business found the waitingrooms full, for
to-day was one of the first good white"
days that We have had of late, capital day
for sitting, but not good day for '.print-
ing," an operation which needs the direct
rays of the sun. Sunny days have been no
rare that even the little work which the pho
tographers have been able to do during the
last two months of fog and rain has been be.
hindhand, owing to lack of Sunlight for
printing" The only photographers who
seemed unaffected by the weather, and per-
haps even welcomed it on account Of the ad-
vantage which it gives them over less for
tunate rivals, were those who uge the electric
light both to take pictures and to print by.
At Mr.. Knrtz's studio the sun Is
dispensed with entirely. He said work had
gone on all winter without interruption, and
