A PLUCKY GIRL.
She Conquers Greek and Puts Two Young
Gentlemen to Shame.

She Conquers Greek and Puts Two Young
Gentlemen to Shame.
A certain very young girl living in
Middlesex county decided last summer
to try the Harvard examinations in the
autumn, with view to entering the
regular course of study in the Annex.
She betook herself, therefore, with a
trunk full of books to a secluded home
in the country, and settled herself for
ten weeks hard work reviewing her
high-school studies and conquering
Greek enough quite by herself to pass
for college. Two young gentlemen pres
emily appeared on the scene, deter
mined also upon secluded preparatory
study. When they learned that the
pretty girl with the Titan hair was
s'digging" for Harvard too, they tried
to laugh her out of her ambition. One
of them, with the wisdom of twenty
years, told her it was really sin, and
altogether against nature for a seven
teen-year-old girl to try to read Greek
alone, or to think of taking Harvard
course. The other youth declared that
it didn't matter; she'd never ''get
through the exams anyway" and both
tried to persuade her to take rides and
boating excursions. But still she stud
led faithfully and crammed her self
taught Greek until the examination
came. Then she went down to Cam.
bridge and passed her examinations
triumphantly, while both the young
men failed dismally, and found them.
selves obliged to study another yeal
before getting into college.-Bostoa

immigration.

In response to call signed by a
number of prominent citizens of the
parishes of Bossier, Caddo, Web
ster and Bienville, meeting was
held at Haughton on the 10Th
instant to organize an association,
or club, to encourage immigration to
North Louisiana. Col. S. j. Ward,
of Shreveport, was called to the
chair, and Mr.. d. Fl. Cole, of Haugh.
ton, requested to act as secretary
The meeting adjourned until the
29th instant.
We trust, and believe, that this
is the beginning of a work that will
rebound to the great interest of the
State. We hope the meeting will
attract the attention and receive the
encouragement it so richly deserves.
What prevents Bossier parish from
poisoning like the rose, but lack
Of population Our climate is mild
and healthy; our soil rich, varied
and productive. We have sixty
miles of valley fronting on Red
River, surprising in fertility the
eternized valley of the Nile. Our
hill country is magnifcently timber
ed and watered, and produces the
greatest variety of crops-cottoh,
corn, small grain. grasses, Sc, and
is admirably adapted to stock-rais-
ing. Our sister parishet offer equal
inducements and advantages. 1t is
only necessary to get the attention
of the tide of immigration to our
magnificent and cheap lands to at
tract and hold such immigrants as
we want, and need. We believe the
meeting at Haughtou is a step in
the right direction, and trust that
the next meeting will be numerous
ly attended, aud enthusiastic in &C
ton.
Our lands are not surpassed for
cheapness, fertility and variety OF
crops produced, by Texas, Arkansas
or the great Northwest. We court
comparison with them. No State in
the Union, in proportion to area,
has as much rich farming lands as
ours. Nature has done her part
with lavish hand; it but remains
for US to do ourf.
Now, North Louisiana, for long
pull, a strong pull, and pull alto
gether.

The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1886-11-04

That the world moves, and the people
with it, was made strikingly clear when
that staid an eminent old school gentle
man from Waterville, with lis swallow
tailed blue and brass mounted coat on,
as chairman of the judiciary committee,
presented bill granting municipal suf-
frage to tax-paying women. And why
not? Judge Poland has been an active
law maker and dispenser for near
ly a half century, and how better could
he round off notable career than by
advocating universal suffrage-for the
sisterhood as well as the brotherhood?
Besides, the principle is right, and who
ever ic armed with truth, whether in a
swallow tail with brass buttons, or in
frock with modern ornaments or, for
that matter, in an old fashioned smock
with its string and gather, is "tmice
armed" having just cause. Eternal
Justice, as well as the declaration of In
dependence, asserts that all government
must derive its rightful powers from
the consent of the governed. So let the
women vote. But why limit it to tax
payers? However, if we can get this
much, more will follow in the same di-
rection. Reforms cannot go back
wards, and that this would be reform,
of the highest order, we firmly believe.
The able editor of the Rutland Herald,
in commenting on this bill, says:
There is no better state in the Union t. lead
in this great refcrm-or to try this experiment
if the reader prefers-than Vermont, where
the women are of exceptionally high average
excellence in all the qualities Of intellect, cu-
ture and earnest purpose in life. TO be sure,
not so large percentage here as in Massa-
chusetts is yet awake to ask the opportunity,
but extend the opportunity and they will avail
Of it in rapidly increasing numbers. II would
be one Of Nermont's most imperishabie hon
ors to lead the sisterhood of states in the po-
liticai emancipation Of the sisterhood Of man.

FREE TRADE.

The reduction of internal revenue
and the taking off of revenue stamps
from Proprietary Medicines, no doubt
has largely benefited the consumers, as
well as relieving the burden of home
manufacturers. Especially is this the
case with GREEN'S 1ugust F1oWcr and
BoSchee's German .SyrUp, rs the re-
duction of thirty-siX cents per dozen,
has been added to increase the size of
the bottles containing these remedies,
thereby giving one-iifth more medicine
in the - cent size. The 1ugIta Flor
er for Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint,
and the German Syrup for Cough aud
Lung troubles, have perhaps, the larg-
est sale of any medicines in the world.
The advantage of increased size of the
bottles will be greatly appreciated by
the sick and afflicted, in every town
and village in civilized countries. Sam
pie bottles for 10 cents remain the same
size.
