Woman's chronicle. (Little Rock, Ark.) 1888-1???, 1888-09-29

WOMAN naturally feels loyalty toward her own
sex, but that there is class of poor degraded wo
men who are ready to caress the hand that chas"
tises, no one can gainsay. Mrs. Bohan is the wife
of brute who lives in New York city. Mr..
Bohan, in drunken rage, has at different times
gouged out first one of her eyes and then the
other. The arm of the law reaches out for him,
and he is held for trial. The poor, outraged wo-
man rises up in the court room and with the red
sockets of her eyes, staring at the judge and jury
testfes that he did it accidentally thrust his
finger in her eye in the dark, unintentionally In
every way she seeks to screen him from the sem
tence of the court, The scene is described as
most pitiful. How marvellous are the workings OF
the human mind Can she be said to have had
mind, or only instinct?

Written for WoMAN's CHRONICLE.
Voices OF the Night.

In the evening when the daily tasks are DER,
The tired hedger HES him home to rest Dill. ....
The weary ploughman pods his way more,
And the children run to kiss and be caressed.
When distant mountains don their robes of blue,
And sunset clouds are crimson pearl and gold,
The sleeping waters catch the mingled hue
OF dragged hills with rugged crowns, and bold.
The FLASHING stream sings softly its way,
And shakes the seedy grasses on its brink
Beside the mead where cattle love to stray,
Atoms the shore where sweet pond lilies drink.
TITS evening. In the gloaming's hush
There is sound the peaceful scene to mar,
Save when the noisy brooket's waters rush
Across the golden sand and gravel bar.
'Tis evening. List the voices of the night
Now mnge in the vocal thoughts of song,
And sweeping through the chords of pure delight
They flow like happy waters swift along
IT'S evening, and the homestead far away
In the light of mem'ry dimy appears,
Mellowed DER thro' many sad and misspent day
1t stands amid the thoughts of other years.
IT'S evening, and the voices that hear
Sweetly blending in the gloaming's vesper strain,
Call back the voices of the old home, dear
Long hushed and slled, more to wake again
The voices of the night will oft recall
The pleasing, happy mem'rles of the past,
And when the evening shadows gently fall
Methinks feel their spell around me cast,
How sweet to think that when sands run,
And voices of the night are hushed for aye,
There is place abiding to be won,
A homestead in the lands of perfect day
And in the twilight shadows-now so sweet
The voices of the night shall ne'er grow old
From tongues scraphic melody complete
viii blended be with harpschords of gold

A New YORK woman lost her scalp by being
struck by railroad train. She sued the company
for damages and the case was tried four times.
In the first trial the case was dismissed The
second she was awarded 900. The third the
jury gave her $4,000, but finally, at the fourth
trial verdict of So, 900 was reached. It took the
law quite time to find true estimate of
woman's scalp, and probably, after the matter has
been finally settled the result is astonishing to
many Yet they are not so much astonished as
when the world shall have discovered for them the
just valuation and capacity of woman's brain.
The Journal of Education says; "The pream-
BILE of statute allowing women to compete for
honors in the final classical schools has passed
Congregation without opposition, and we do not
anticipate that the measure will meet with any se-
rious antagonsm when it comes before Conyoca-
ton. The cohatry parsons, as has been proved
at Cambria ave long abandoned Dr. Prim-
roses vic, female accomplishments, and are
keen that Y sggaters should share in all the
benefits of the higher education. TO admit women
to the schools of history, mathematics and physical
science, and exclude them from classical Greek is
too illogical for even Oxford"

An old resident of Arkansas, who has recently
settled in Starkey, Gala, writes from that place
as follows: "We have good schools here for newly
settled country. The teachers are nearly all
women, many of them very enterprising, and brave
also. Two of them pre-empted homesteads, had
box houses erected, lived six months on each
tract, proved up, paid out, and are now land
owners, if not landlords"
