WOman'S Endurance.

The prevalent delusion that wo-
men are the weaker sex is fast being
exploded by facts like the following
from the Toronto Globe:
1t appears from the the gathered
statistics of the world that women
have a greater tenacity of life than
men. Nature worships the female in
all its varieties. Among insects the
male perishes at relatively earlier
period. In plants the seminal BIOS
SONS die earliest and are produced
on the weaker limbs. Female quad
rupeds have more endurance than
males. In the human race, despite
the Intellectual and physical strength
of the man, the women enlures
longest, and will bear pain to which
the stlong man succumbs. Zymotic
diseases are more fatal to males, and
moro male children die than females.
DeveIga asserts that the proportion
dying suddenly is about 100 women
to $50 men; 1850 in the United
States in 1870 committed suicide. to
80 women. Intcmperance, govt,
apoplexy, hydrocephalus, affections
of the heart and liver, scrofula, para
lysis, are far more fatal to males than
females. Pulmonary consumption,
on the other hand, Ia more deadly to
the latter. Females in cities are
more prone to consumption than in
the country. All old countries not
disturbed by emigration have a great
majority of females in the popu-
lation. In royal families the statis-
tics show more daughters than sons.
The Hebrew women is exceptionally
long lived; the colored man is excep-
tionally short lived. The married
state is favorable to prolongation
of life among women. DR.. Hough
proclaims that there are two to six
per cent. more males born than fe-
males, yet there are more than six
per cent. of females in the living
populations. From which statistics
We conclude that all women ought to
marry, and that as men are likely to
become SO scarce they cannot be
sufficiently priced by the other sex.

Then there was the usual hurrah, such as all
ways follows events of this chatacter The
nomination was made unanimous.
The convention took d recess to 5 O'Clock

Texas made . spirited speech in favor OF giving
to Hendricks the Office out ..of which he had
been cheated Weed Of New York aug
gested that the iOil OF states should be called 20

the formal announcement of the vote. He
said there had been Sl6 votes cast, all Of them

STORY OF JACKSON AND BENTON
One evening at the White House the con-
versation drifted to Benton, and Mr.. Lin
coin said that the very room we were sit
ting in had been the scene of a most char
acteristic adventure of Bentons with
President Jackson. When Benton came
to M issouri he was at feud with Jackson;
In fact, he and his brother and Jackson
and several others had a difficulty at
Nashville. in which LESSEE Benton was
killed, and which was the cause of Benton
coming to Missouri. They had not met
for years, until jackson was President
and Benton. Senator from Missouri. s'It
was in this room," said President Lincoln
THAT their first meeting took place. jack
son was seated at this very table when the
door yonder swung open and Benton
stalked in and stood silently in the middle
of the floor. Jackson looked up and rec
ognized him at once, and recollected at
the same time that he had no weapon to
defend himself. Equally silently he got
up, walked to the door, locked it and put
the key in his pocket, and went back to
his seat. Then he said, docs this mean
war or peace2'
sit means peace" said Benton.
jackson again arose. walked to the door,
unlocked it. came back to his seat, and
then said, "Col. Benton, am pleased to
see you. Take chair"
All this time Benton was standing sta
tuesquely in the center of the room, never
moving muscle while Jackson was lock-
ing and unlocking the door, and the re-
Cancellation between the two gentlemen
was complete. It simply showed the
dramatic character of the man.
