Disqualified by Sex

There was good deal Of rejoicing
says the Philadelphia Ledger, among
the intelligent, liberal-minded folk of
all countries when it was found that in
the heated contest for members OF the
municipal council of London two wo-
men of distinguished ability and public
spirit, Lady Sandhurst and Miss Cob
den, had been successful at the polls,
and by very significant majorities, too.
But the court of appeals of that great
city OF 'the older civilization" has
finally declared that women are dis
qualified by their sex alone-to sit
as municipal legislators Considering
the character OF the two eminent wo-
men barred out from the London coun-
Gil by this decision of the court OF APP
peals, their rejection is ridiculous; but
when 1t is further considered that the
communities they were to respectively
represent elected them by large ma
jorties, rejecting the men who were
their opponents, and that Great Brit
ain, Ireland and the Indian Empire are
ruled by an Englishwoman, their do
barment from public service becomes
preposterously, absurd, There is ono
thing, hossser, q be taken into ac-
count in this matter, which is that
there is no one else so truly and uncon-
uuerably conservative as an English
Judge.

And none to utter a nay

How Tea Is Tasted Nowadays.

The art of tea-tasting in commercial
houses, which formerly proved detri-
mental to the health of so many men,
has now been reduced to such accu-
racy that the tasting part of it has
been practically eliminated in all but
the name, and the tea is tested now by
sight and smell. Boiling water is
first poured on an acknowledgements
ured portion Of the leaves. In few
minutes the liquid shows some tint
of green or brown. and the length of
this time and the shade of the color
produced are important elements in
the test. The faster then, with the aid
of a spoon, inhales the rising steam
from the mixture. This is called get
ting the aroma" and is the most i'm
portant part of the test. He may, per-
haps, in some cases actually taste the
LIQUID, but this is no longer generally
done. Color, aroma and the "liquor-
ing" qualities of the tea are suf-
ticient grounds to judge by. The old
time tea-taster was ahigh-salaried ex-
pert, who frequently ended his career
with heart disease or fits, the result of
slow poisoning from the quantities OF
adulterated tea he tasted, but now. as
rule, every merchant tests his own
teas by the recent and approved meth

to rise. She had sent report OF the
condition of affairs near her office and
residence, saying that she had been
compelled to go up to the second story,
but with no thought of flight When
another call was made upon her for
further information, no answer came;
and later, far down the valley, her
dead body was recovered from the
flood.
There were many illustrations OF the
mother-love that is everywhere where
mothers are. Among the most touching
are those of the mother who put her
seven children out of the attic window,
one by one, on to driftwood, and fifteen
hours later was herself gathered alive
out of the wreck. with not child
saved; and that of the mother who,
clinging with her two children to the
roof of her house, as it was swept
along, had a rope thrown by which she
might have saved herself if she would
have left her children. But to this
friendly offer she only sadly shook her
head, stayed with her little ones, and
went down the roaring flood.
One reflects with sorrow that in this
country the sex to which such actions
are possible are compelled, as children
are, to be governed by laws they have
no voice in making The meanest man
has vote; the noblest woman has
none. The man guilty Of an infamous
crime is temporarily made the political
equal of women, who, without being
guilty OF any crime, are permanently
disfranchised. So we make history.

THE AUTOCRAT TALKS.

u. w. HOlmeS View OF a Phase or Two
of Literature.
1.-THE question is, will this country
ever see another such group of res
markable men as Boston has pro-
duced. In history there are Prescott,
Motley and Parkman. In theology,
Theodore Parker and DR.. Bartol; in
oratory, Wendell Phillips; in philoso-
ply, Emerson; in poetry, Longfellow
and Whittier, for the latter, fnot an
actual resident of Boston, must be re-
garded, nevertheless, as belonging to
the Boston literary guild.
There is Lowell, also. Others
might be mentioned in addition to
those already named. For real INTEL
lectual force take the old Chestnut
Street Club, or the Radical Club, as
some choose to call it. Where vii! you
find its equal? We have never had
any thing like it in this country since.
Indeed, the literary outlook seems
hardly encouraging Isometimes feel
that poetry will become u lost art with
us. To be sure we have large num-
Der of writer's of verse; refer to
the rising generation of writer's and
it is very good verse, too, but very
little-very little-of it rises to the
scale of real poetry. 1t is not suffi-
GENTLY striking to impress itself upon
the world to endure. The disposition
is to indulge in fanciful triolct and
the rondeau, all pretty enough in their
way; but very few poems OF this char
acter have ever become immortal.
For example, the sonnet is one of
the most mechanical and artificial
forms of verse there is. To be sure,
Shakespeare's sonnets are excellent,
as they do not conform to the estab-
lished rules governing the construc-
ton of the sonnet II one is to succeed
in poetry he must give free rein to his
sentiment and Imagination in the more
simple and natural forms of verse.
Take for instance. Tennyson's In
Memoriam;' the form is simple and
easy. This is a great poem and will
live. Still. from these observations,
/ would not seek to discourage any
young man from seeking to be poet
If he really feels the divine instinct

but would urge him by all means
to adopt the most natural way OF
writing, and notify any means depend
on poetry or literature, in any sense.
for his bread and butter. Let him
have something else for a staff; it is
absolutely necessary, unless one be a
genius, and even then it is far safer.
Poe was genius. yet his case ought
to prove a warning to all who aspire

theless, it has proved a good staff. -
