men took Ed Brown out of his house,
stripped and tied him to tree in an out

lashes with a cato mine tail, leaving
marks on his back to remind him for the
balance of his life of the punishment re-
ceiYed for whipping his wife. Brown has
been abusing his wife since they were
married two years ago. His last act of
whipping her yesterday, just recovering
from sickness from childbirth, aroused
the Indignation of the community. 1t is
supposed the party consisted of her rela-
tives and near neighbors. Although
some of them were recognized, there has
been no attempt to make any arrests.

Twelve Great Women.

In attempting to select tho twelve greatest
women of tho word no comparison with the
opposite sex is necessary. a really great
woman must not only nave largely benefited
the life or influenced the thought of her own
country, but she must have left some perma-
ncnt memorial or trace of her work for tho
Judgment of posterity. Thus no actress,
however great. even q Mrs. Siddons or a
Rachel, could be included among the great
est women, as her art dies with her. From
that point of view | venture to draw up the
following list as fairly representative of fem.
mime greatness in all ages:
WOMEN OF ACTION. WOMEN OF THOUGHT
Semiramis. Sappho.
Queen Esther. Mme. Roland.
Maria Theresa. Mime. do StaeL
Catherine II of Russia George Sand.
Isabella Of CASTLE. George Eliot.
Joan Of Arc. Margaret Fuller.
1t will DO seen that tho list divides itself
naturally into two parts. the ono represent
ing the courageous, energetic, ruling typo of
woman; tho second, the intellectual, thought
full type. b three modern queens. if not
overburdened with scrupulousncss, possessed,
par excellence, the gift Of ruling, and were
pre-emlnently successful i'll carrying out their
plans and in molding the history of their
subjects.
SemiraniiS, no doubt, is q person whom the
average individual docs not realize very ill.,
tenaely, but the mere fact that out of tho
haze of Assyrian history her name should
have lived for four thousand years gives her
Il very unique place among tho women rulers
of the world. But why Queen Esther, from
among all the women i'll the Biblct it may
oe asked. Queen Esther saved the Jews from
massacre, as certainly as jean Of Arc saved
France from the English. From the debaslng
atmosphere of q royal harem she steps forth
with tho heroic words: And if | perish, |
PERISH and triunphs glorlously over her
enemies. Moreover, unlike rRpst of the Bible
stories, there is no elenielt of the super
natural in this case; we have the PLAN,
simple fact Of q beautiful woman employing
her beauty not for personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
Tut for the benefit of her counirymen, and
voluntarily risking her life in order to save
theirs. Not even n man could do more.
Probably no ono will seriously controvert
tho statement that Sappho was tho greatest
poetcss of antiquity, although some Fhlistine
~scoifcrs are said to affirm that she can only
lay claim to the authorship of some five lines
OF extant verse, and that these are ;iotryilla:.

Justly demand admittance, the latter as the
literary woman par excellence. the two
former as types of womanly purity and relig-
ious patriotism, who. instead of hiding in
orthodox retreat, flung themselves into the
turmoil Of public life and passed through it
unscathed, to be rewarded with a martyrs
death. 10 this trio must he added the
authoress of 'Consuelo." whose name may
safely be left to speak for itself.-Pall Mall
