AT 4 MEETING ~ BRooKLYN the
other night, held for the purpose Of
furthering the movement in favor of
giving women representation in the
Board Of Education, there seemed
10 be but one opinion on the question.
The movement was unanimously in
dorsed, us il deserves to be. Rev
Lyman Abbott of Plymouth Church,
however, while thoroughly in sym
patty with the objects of the meet
ing, took occasion 10 remark that he
was much less in favor of woman
suffrage now than he was twenty
five years ago. The same opinion
has been expressed by others, and
1here are women, too, who, in the
HTst flush Of the new revolution,
scarcely knew bounds TO their en-
thosiaBin, but who have since con-
Eiudea that the ballot-box, on closer
iDspcttion, is not the charming thing
they thought il Was. Distance ley

Congressman John Allen Of Mississippi
belongs TO line OF statesmen, and before
he came to Congress lie was local states
man Of more or less renown. His grand
father, Robert Allen, was from Virginia,
and he owned an old colored woman, who
lived to see the grandson well started in
politics, but had not seen mm during his
earlier stages. one day Mr.. Allen hap
pened to be in Aunt Lizas neighborhood
and he called on her.
"Fo' de Lawd, Mas John, Ise glad to
see YOU" she exclaimed joyfully, IAN
you is gittin' Office same as dc ole ones.
Dab was Mas Robbuti you is iis' like
him."
"Why, Aunt Eliza, didn't know my
grandfather ever held an office"
"0h yes, Mas John, he did; deed he
did"
"What Office, Aunt Eliza"
"Jis' can'date, Mas John, iis' can
date" and the old woman ratified on,
drawing the lines of coincidence IN the
lives Of the three generations of Aliens
she had known and loved with an inter
est which time and circumstance could
not lessen.
Tie newspaper men in the Press Gal
lery OF the House are not nverse to ladies
society, but they don't want the gang to
know everything They are very sly, but
they get caught occasionally. Yesterday
a small boy came in with a note 10 hand
some Boston man. The gang was around,
and when Boston read the note, he
looked at the boy, and very innocently in
quired;
"Where Is heg'
Down in the Ladies' Reception room, >,
replied the boy, quite as innocenty, and
the gang lifted up their voices in derisive
laughter.
The President has vetoed the bill re-
lieving Paymaster Bash from paying
1850, stolen from q stage while the guard
was eating pie at the stage station.
"Ho, Daniel" quoth the President
Come, bring my veto pen;
Here is bill I'll have to kill,
And stop its like again.
| cannot have this thing go on
Mong neither low nor high,
| Twill never do to let it through
And waste our funds for pie"
So Daniel brought the veto pen,
And Grover took the same;
Then with dash he made slash,
And thereto put his name,
81 prithee, Sre,p brave Daniel said,
With valor in his eye,
II see the cash you charge to Bash,
Amt that right dearfor pie2'
"Go to go to % quoth Grover G.,
| And gave his pen shake;
"Let Others cry and take the pie,
| But Grover takes the cake"
| SO Daniel went, and as he went
| He said, with murm' ring sigh
Dyspepsia grim has hold of him,
He has been eating pie"

LONELINESS.

The waning moon was up; the stars
Were faint and very few;
The vines about the window.sill
Were wet with falling dew;
A little cloud before the wind
Was drifting down tho west;

In its unquiet rest;
Until, know not from what grief,
or thought of other years,
The hand leaned upon was cold,

show its faith in results at st. Louis

Ir is ESTIMATED THAT the trip of the
Tammany Hall and County Demo
cracy of New York to the st. Louis
Convention will cost the party not less
than $4,000. The number to be
transported and provided for is ], 200,
and taking these figures as basis, it
may be an interesting study to figure
out what the whole affair will cost
and how much money it will disburse
in the way of railroad and hotel fares
and the usual incidentals of such an
occasion. AT a low estimate there
viii be not less than $4,000 visitors
outside of the delegates. That alto
gether they will spend a million dol
lars going and coming is rough guess,
more likely to be under than over the
mark; and the same will apply to the
Chicago Convention.

reason for such changes as may have

Our telegraphic reports OF the Conven-
ton We're simply superb. There was not
point LETT uncovered by them, and they
were not only accurate, but fully Just to
the party in whose interests the gather
ing was held. Even the speeches deliv-
cred on all matters oil importance were
transmitted verbatim. A rival bureau Of
recent birth-and about whose paternity
there are rumors OF something mot quite
regular-boasts of great achievement
in getting these speeches the day before
they were delivered. That was not 80
much enterprise as il was represented to-
be. We all know that it does not ordi-
narily take a very honeyed tongue TO
wheedle the copy OF a speech out Of the
author of the effusion. The matter would
not be worthy OF notice had
not this boast been accompanied by the
statement that the Associated Press had
not been able to obtain copies of these
addresses in advance. The Associated
Press not being of recent birth, has had
time to learn its trade. 1t did not wire
these addresses in advance for the.
simple reason that it preferred to give
them in their proper place where they
would have some relevancy. That is all
there is of that matter. And the Asso-
ciated Press did not anywhere compel its
patrons to rely on evening papers which
get their reports from a rival bureau.
for the major part of their accounts
OF what was done at st. Louis. That is
another piece OF enterprise which the
Associated Press has long forgotten.
