A Sense of Obligation. as Well MS Desire
OF Privilege Should Prompt Women to
Vote.
At the recent convention OF the Wo-
mans Suffrage Association, Hon. Alonzo
Taft, OF Cincinnati. spoke as follows;
II have been requested by some of
our citizens who feel deep interest in
the object OF this convention, to address
a word Of welcome to the distinguished
members OF the Association who have
come TO urge upon our attention the
cause OF woman suffrage, and to assure
them that they will have from our citi-
zens a fair and generous hearing. ] do
this with great pleasure, because ! do
not doubt that such will be the fact
Our people are not ignorant of the
whole-souled devotion to the cause of
humanity which has distinguished the
principal advocates OF woman suffrage
1t is a missionary work in which they
are engaged. and they will be heard
with cordially and great attention.
1t is not necessary that should go
further and express any individual
opinion upon the subject which is to
be discussed upon this occasion. But /
deem it proper for me to say that it has
long been my individual opinion
that women ought to vote. II
they desire it, they should have the
privilege. If they do not desire it,
then they should vote from a sense Of
duty. ! have not felt that the case was
SO urgent as it would be If the men
who do the voting did not intend to
take good care OF the interests OF wo-
men. They have generally done SO,
as fully as could be expected under the
circumstances Laughter. The laws
have been growing better and more
equitable toward women, till now the
law of Ohio gives to woman the same
right in her husbands property which
he has in hers. 1t seeks to make their
property rights equal. But her politi-
cal rights are left where they were. II
women had voted, these improvements
in the law would undoubtedly have
been made long ago. The friends of
woman suffrage are to be congratulated
on the very considerable progress
which has already been made. Partial
suffrage has been secured in several
States, and in one Territory the women
have full suffrage. do not expect to
live to see it, but have no doubt what
ever that the time is coming when the
Republic will rest on the suffrages of
all its citizens, and that, thus resting,
1t will be safer, and better governed,
than If supported by the votes of one.

LONDON WITHOUT END.

The English Capitals Peculiar Place
Among the Cities Of tho World.
London never fails to impress the
tourist with its peculiar place among
the cities of the world. There are
many presenting far finer groups Of
buildings; its main theroaghfares,
such as Regent street and Oxford
street, are not to be compared with those
in Paris or Philadelphia; but there is
a solidity in its pavements. steady
progress in its vehicles, a sense of con-
tinuity in the endless succession OF its
streets, an air of unpretending con-
fidence in its crowds, an unabashed,
monotonous ugliness in its lines of
suburban villas which is unique. Lon
don is the place where incidents and
gatherings which would move many a
metropolis Ito its center" are wholly
unnoticed except by such as happen to
come across them. Even the most
popular events. which may attract
some hundred thousand people. do not
make sign or ripple in the surface OF
the great brick and mortar sea which
surrounds the city proper. He must
be very big man indeed who can
draw direct personal notice in London.
Metropolitan news is conveyed, not by
conversation or verbal rumor, but by
journals. The talk Of the clubs
(exalted by some society" papers) Is
an enthusiastically small fraction OF
that which engages the metropolis.
There is really no talk of the town.
as distinct from that OF the nation. II
is sheer size which distinguishes Lon.
don. Not long ago stood by the cas-
tie in Edinburgh and noticed that
could discern men at work in the fields
all around me. There were indica-
tions Of separate outside life. 1t is so,
moreover, in the large transatlantic
cities. Down the straight streets Of
New York you can catch glimpses Of
white sails on the Hudson or East
river; but when you look at London
from any square or open space within
its borders. there appears no prooI

HERE AND THERE.

Look over the trunks of peach trees
for the borer. They are at work now.
Cow pease may be grown between
the hills of corn, as the same cultiva-
ton for the one crop is suitable for the
other.
The best and cheapest food for
pigs that are confined in pens. at this
season, is liberal supply of young
weeds or clover. They can be kept in
good growing condition with little or
no grain.
Never worry an honest, generous
horse by putting rogue or sluggard
in the harness with him, wisely says
the Northwestern Agriculturist. Nor
an ugly-tempered brute in the wagon
to drive him, say we.
Make the hills of your lima beans
very rich. Fine compost is the best
material, but manure is also excellent.
The point is to use plenty of it, as the
pods will fill out very slowly If there
is deficiency of available plant food
in the soil.
On rich land, or land to be
brought up to high state of culture,
tile draining is by all odds the most eff.
fective, and, in the end, cheapest.
Where it is convenient, however, very
good and lasting drains may be con.
| structed of stones.
When the second crop of clover is
cut place it aside for the use of the
pigs and poultry next winter. 1t is
chopped fine, scalded, sprinkled with
ground grain and feed literally. 1t
will save food, and both pigs and
poultry will thrive on it.
Cork dust. in which Malaga
grapes are shipped to dealers all over
tho country, and which can often be

den as excellent material in which the
home consumer may keep grapes.
Give the early sweet corn thor
ough hoeing as soon as it is high
enough. The first working is the most
important. as it loosens the soil, keeps
the weeds back and gives the plants an
opportunity to push ahead before the
next crop of weeds can interfere with
them.
Melons will grow rapidly now, and
ashes are excellent for them. Scatter
the ashes on the surface of the ground,
not too close to the hills. and thin out
the plants so as to leave only two on
the hill. Do not grow melons or pump.

Chinese Rush Goods.

The city OF Ningpo is the center Of the
goods, such as hats, mating, etc The mag
nitude of the trade may be estimated from
the fact that last year l44million hats, one
and quarter million mats, and about s.,
900 rolls of mating were exported. The
commissioner of customs in his last report
from NingpO describes the method of cult
vation. The roots of the plants are pulled
up from last years field, divided into small
at intervals of about foot. This is done
in September and October. The fields
must be plentiully manured, and abund-
ant water supply is necessary, and weeds
must be cleared away The rushes are har-
vested in June and July; it is essential that
this should be done in fine weather, so that
they may dry within three days of cutting.
If they dry too slowly they are apt to change
the sun they get scorched and bent. Rain,
when they are only partially dry, spoilS
them altogether An average worker can
make four hats of good quality, - in, 3
braid, day; working carelessly and weav
ing loosely, the quantity can be doubled.
But in the rush trade, as in the straw
braid trade of Northern China, fraudulent
practices have crept in and have greatly
injured it. The work is hastily and loose
ly done, and the home market is flooded
with inferior and in some cases unsaleable
goods. At present every hat in every bale
has to be examined, and every yard in
every roll of mating, greatly to the in

and quietness ars by no means the highest

illustration Of this fact is to be found in the
futile attempt Of two monks To institute q
quarrel. Both agreed that quarrel would
afford cheerful rest from the dull monot.
ony of their ordinarily peaceful life. and
was therefore eminently to be desired
\ subject of dispute was proposed and
found agreeable to both. and then the two
monks, having settled all the necessary
prcliminaries, attempted to begis the fray.
Alas, they discovered all 200 late that ow-

seems to have been quite animated and

is bad politics Viewed with philosophic
eye, fight with Sullivan on the one side
and any number of saloons on the other,
while it may be a beautifully even thing,
is mere factional fighting within the ranks
of the party to which both must look for
their support Whatsoever wins, the
other suffers What would the Boston
saloons do without Sullivan And with
out its saloons the populous district Of
South Boston would be to Sullivan no bet
