New YORK, Jan. S.-Leutenant Deer
ing. the correspondent of the MGa and
Erpress 10 Hayti, has furnished a highly
important dispatch from the black re-
public dated Port-su. Prince, December

Real Womanliness.

The notions and definitions OF woman
illness, if collected together from va
rious localities and ages, would form
curious reading. At one time it was
womanly to pronounce hard word
incorrectly: to pronounce it properly
would make woman like a man. At
another time it was womanly to faint
ut the sight Of drop Of blood or =
mouse. Now, the trouble with these
definitions and notions was, they were
not fixed upon immutable principles.
People dread the idea Of a woman's do
ing something new or unusual; it may
make her unwomanly! They need not
fear. A true woman may be made less
foolish. less hysterical, less childish;
but any idea OF womanliness founded
upon things temporary or artificial can
not be true idea; it is not an essential
nor an eternal one. Real womanliness
will survive all revolutions of mind and
matter. as woman's figure has sur
viyed. The old Greeks knew what
that was as well as we do Margaret
b. Harvey, in Woman's Journal.

4 New View OF the Case Presented to thu
OnnOsltiun Side.

a New View Of the Case Presented to the
Opposition Side.
In recent address before the Ver-
mont Woman Suffrage Association,
Colonel Albert Clarke said:
Suppose that all the men in Ncr-
mont should go out Of the State to at
tend some presidential Inauguration. or
to search for some II Dorado in the
West or South. The women OF neces-
sity would have to assume the rein of
government. When the prodigals
should return and demand restitution
OF their. old rights and privileges. how
would they like to be told that the old
usurpation had abdicated and a new
usurpation had taken its place? Or
how would they enjoy this argument:
The male, being muscular anl strong,
was evidently designed by Nature for
manual labor; while the female, being
delicate, sensitive, intellectual. posses
scd Of moral consciousness and endow-
ed with motherhood, was obviously in
tended for discharging tho offices OF
government. And il they should urge
that no government is jus: except
what springs from tho govern
ed, and that none Is complete except
that which calls into action all the
varied powers of the race, how would
1t please them to be answered.: This
may be. but some of you drink and
others gamble. some would license sa-
looms and others would license brothels,
many of you are impractible and believe
that opening your doors to foreign COM
petition would make you rich, and some

II. Women and War.

The gradual progress Of the woman
suffrage movement in the United States
and certain other countries, notably
great Britain. has hitherto attracted
little attention, IS bearing upon any
question Of public policy except the
temperance issue, but If women ever
vote on equal terms with men, the effect
upon the armies and navies of the
world will be enormous. says the Clcve-
land Leader. Women are the instinct
i've friends OF peace. They like sol
diers, but they dread war, and the
whole weight of their vote would
be thrown. almost invariably. against
the man or the party thought to repre-
sent .jingoa sentiment. On this ques-
tion women are not much influenced by
the views OF fathers. brothers or hus-
bands. Men may see opportunities for
military glory, for fat contracts. for
political power, and above all, for graf
flying their love Of excitement and
fighting, in q great war, but to women
war is q terror wholly repulsive except
when lighted by pure patriotism and
the approval OF the best conscience OF
a nation. Probably one of the chief
reasons for Bismarck's bitter antipathy
to the broad-minded and brilliant widow
of the late Emperor Frederick was her
disposition to exert all her influence
against the dominant military spirit in
Germany, and it is very doubtful wheth-
er such man as the Iron Chancellor
could flourish in any country where
women really shared with men the pow
ers and duties OF government Ger
tainly, woman suffrage would make for
peace the world over.

Mrs. Stoves relatives view all this with feel
ings OF dismay, but they have now become
reconciled to the change, and her whims are
treated with the utmost tenderness For
some time it was given out that Mrs. stowe
did not recognize her friends because OF
failing eyesight but this excuse is no longer
alluded to. and the fact that she is now no
longer mentally capable is recognized
by every one. 1t was also for a long
