a Iady's View Of the Harem.

that was worth seeing, a fact that WAS greatly
due to the courtesy OF General Wallace the y.
S. Minister at that Capital For example, Mrs.
Stanford was guest in several of the most
aristOcratic harems, while she, and | were
accorded the somewhat unusual privilege ofin-
specting the crown jewels. may say that
my wife was not favorably impressed with the
matrimonial condition of TETkish women,
for she found that even those Of The highest
rank had been 80 persistantly treated as
ovcrgrown children that their thoughts and
actions we're of q decidedly infantile turn
They play with pet animals as the little girls
in this country do with their dolls, are indolent
in manner, and, ass rule, sscvenly i'll dress,
although making o brilliant outward show
when visitors are expected. Their utter seclu-
sion from the world is pitiahle to think of,
and must naturally dwarf their intellects;
while their enforced laz;ness, Of course, tends
to develop selfshness and obesity. Many OF
their faces are pretty, but they are rarely
marked with the intelligence that is born as 3
rule of experience and observation. The
chief wife in the seraglio Of the late Sultan is
treated with profound res pect by the few who
come in contact with her, but she told Mrs.
Stanford that she had not been outside the ha-
rem walls for twelve Years past Can you i'm
agine an American woman, rich in power,
health and money, who, would voluntarily sub
init to such absolute stagnation? If the ultra
woman's rights advocates would only make =

And seek my lady in the land
Where summer dies no more.

the baby. In fact, it had seemed to him
as though the afternoon would never

last his impatience spurred him to ask.
II don't want YOU to see her again,

"She's simple child, sir, and is in

Dear Mrs. Baker, you misunderstood

ted is the title of an article in this issue,
from the Washington Sentinel. The article
was called forth by an article by George w.
Childs, an extract from which precedes the
ISeatineEs remarks. The reader will find the
article full of interest, and we will call atten-
ton to but one error by Mr.. Childs, which the
Sentinel omitted: "After the bill (EIectorGt)
had passed. says Mr.. Childs, land was wait
ing for signature, Gen. Grant went to state
fair in Maryland the day it should have been
signed and there was much perturbation
about it." As neither state nor county fairs
are held in Maryland after October, and the
Electoral bill was passedin January or Febru-
airy, Grant could not have been attending fair
in this state at the time the bill was awaiting
his signature.

Westminster Not Bankrupt.

The circular recently issued by the Mayor
and Common Council of Westminster, has
caused false impression, created by the
sensational headlines put over summary of
the circular in the Baltimore Herald Several
papers, especially those printed IN toaons that
hare high tares and large debts, have
republished the HeraIds summary, with
the deceptive headings, and the impression
has gone abroad that Westminster is bank
rupt, and that gas and water are soon to be
shut off,
The fact is Westminster has a debt of about
SO, 900, and an assessable basis of 81, 600, 600.
The tax is but 10 cents on the 500 for city
purposes, and cents for water. Few towns
of like size and Importance in the whole
country have so small debt or so small tax
rate.
What the city authorities attempted to show,
was, that the tax rate was too small to keep
up the city government, pay off the debt and
make necessary impro vements. In their
opinion the rate would either have to be in
creased or expenses would have to be reduced
by shutting off the gas, &c.

Senator John Sherman is running wild over
the alleged disfranchisement of eolored voters
in the South, yet this same Sherman, by his
aid in the steal ofthe Presidency. helped largely
in the Acknowledgement Of 4,315, S01 voters
who east their ballots for Tilden and Hen
bricks The Acknowledgement of colored vo-
tiers in the South is only an allegation by
Sherman, with no proof to sustain it, but the
acknowledgements of the four millions of per-
sons who voted for Tilden is generally ad-
mitted, having been fully proven. Sherman
has no tears to shed over the disfranchised
whites in the New England states, on account
of their poverty. Poverty may be crime in
his estimation, but many people would like to
know how he has grown rich on a salary that
has scarcely been sufficient to keep up his
style of living.
