A Good Suggestion.

The following good advice is given by
Lucy Stone. in Woman's Journal:
Woman suffragists should take les
son from the farmers. At their meeting
in Springfield, it was reported that
80, 900 farmers had pledged themselves
to vote only for such members of the
Legislature as will be true to agricultur-
al interests. They voted irrespective
of party and as consequence they
elected men who will support the rights
Of farmers in the Legislature.
Women, having no votes, have no
members of the Legislature elected by
them with a view to special care of
their interests. But women in all the
States whose Legislatures are in session
this winter can personally zee the Senator
and Representative Of their district, find
out their opinions. and earnestly en-
deavor to have them see the clear justice
of woman suffrage. Much can be done
in this way. A great deal of misunder-
standing and prejudice on this subject
is done away with or outgrown. Every
body now knows that woman suffrage is
coming; that it is only question Of
time when men will make haste to re-
lieve women from the helplessness and
stigma which always befall a disfran-
chised class. When that time comes,
men will claim that they were always
woman suffragists, as they now do
that they were always anti-slavery. In
the meantime, each Representative and
Senator should be seen. and, if need be,
should be supplied with suffrage litera-
ture as means to clear and correct judg-
ment on the subject. Do not let US fail
of doing this.

SECRETS or REsgLpom.
History Proves That Davis and Hls Pei
Observation-Disclosures Warn lnaincera.

History Proves That Davis and His Rel.
low-Conspirators Were Insinesrs.
1t is doubtful II the whole secret his
tory Of the Confederacy will ever be dis
closed. So much Of the story of its in
auguration, its fight for life and its final
collapse was carefully concealed by its
leaders that we can hope to get the ex-
act facts only in fragments and at inter
walls. But enough is known to prove
that intrigue and conspiracy had pre-
pared the way for secession long before
1t took place. Mr.. c. C. Coffin has begun
. series of lectures in Boston which is
designed to present many of these hid
den facts, in the interest of history, and
for the purpose of refuting the theory
that the rebellion was based upon cred
liable motives and prosecuted in an hon
orable and conscientious way. He
shows, to begin with, how the conspira-
tors Matched their treason while pre-
tending to be loyal; how they practiced
treachery in every direction, both as
officials and as citizens; and how they
perverted public sentiment in the South
and precipitated the war by intimidating
their own people. All this has been
told before, but Mr.. Coffin repeats it
forcibly and with many new details.
From first to last, JEFF Davis was the
most active and inscriptions of all the
Confederate leaders. The project of dis
union was in his mind and his plans
many years previous to his open DECLARE
ton of such purpose. He held office
under the United States Government,
and professed fidelity to the Union,
when he was secretly and Systematically
playing dishonest and criminal part.
His frequent protestations of patriotism
were deliberately and wholly false. In
stead of trying to prevent the war, he
sought to hasten it. There was no form
of compromise which he was willing to
consider. He had sedulously worked to
bring about a situation in which there
could be no escape from bloodshed. The
election of Lincoln served as the pre-
text for which he had been waiting and
longing. He knew very we'll that the
South had no cause to fear any evil
on account of that event; the
Republicans in Congress offered
any guarantee OF just and fair dealing
that could be desired; but he was bent
upon mischief and deaf to all appeals,
either of reason or of conscience. So
long had he been engaged in plotting
that he would not entertain any
straightforward proposition. He thought
to accomplish a revolution by duplicity
and chicanery. His election as Presi-
dent of the Confederacy was secured by
intrigue; and it was by intrigue that all
of his official course was most denoted.
1t is well to keep these things in mind.
They are the secrets which tell what
the secession experiment really was,
and how little ground there is for cred
iting Davis and his fellow-conspirators
with sincerity and integrity. The truth
of history shows those architects of Ma
tional disaster and bereavement in
light that must forever condemn and
disgrace their names; and no amount of
sophistry and Misrepresentation can
make it otherwise.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

IN WOMAN'S BEHALF.
IN THE FOG.

Wells Of pallid mist and gray
Wrap the world Of yesterday;
Fir-fringed islands rocky cape.
Yellow sands, and mountain shape
Sun and sky, and waters blue,
All are blotted from the view.
Out to sea we blindly stare:
Did We dream that such things veref
No; untouched, and safe and sure,
All these lovely things endure;
Underneath that hoverng mist,
All the blue and amethyst,
All the rocky cliffs and sea,
all the surf-lines nesting free,
Mountain forms and islands green
All are there, although unseen.
II We bravely bide and wait
Through this bnef eclipse Of Fate,
Smile through the unsmiling noon,
Keeping heart and hope in tune
Shadow shall give place to sun,
And, out-stealing, one by one,
All the fair things mourned in vain
Shall be made our own again.
Dear heart, faint heart who in shade
Sittest, pale, perplexed, afraid,
At the brief evanishment
OF thy yesterdays content
Courage take; for hope endured
Though little mist obscures;
And behind the fog-wreaths dun
Briyhtens the eternal sun!

REVENUE REDUCTION.
Two Ways In Which the Burdens Of tn
People Can BE Lightened.

Two Ways In Which the. Burdens Of tho
People Can BE Lightened.
1t is a matter of the gravest public
policy and necessity to the Republican,
party that the revenue should be re-
duced. 1t is computed that, taking
into account all the reasonable expendi-
lures of the Government. there will be
an annual surplus Of s44, 600, 900 for at
least year or two to come. This sur
plus will be in excess Of the amount pro-
vided by law for the sinking fund Gre
ated for the purpose of extinguishing
the National debt.
To reduce the tariff on manufactured
goods and on such raw materials as are
produced by our own people would not
reduce, but would increase the revenue.
1t would stimulate Importation, and the
amount of duties paid on the in
creased quantity of imported goods
would be far in excess of that now paid
into the Treasury, while goods of Amer
lean manufacture would be crowded out
of the American markets and Ameri-
can labor would be compelled to accept
reduced wages or would be entirely un-
employed.
The duty on sugar is apparently an
exception to this general rule; or, rath-
er, as the sugar product Of this country
constitutes but one-tenth Of the total
supply, the sugar tariff can be reduced
with better results to the entire people.
and with less harm to any great Ameri
can interest, than would be the case as
regards any other article ON the tariff
list.
The tobacco tax is a tax on the lux
ury of the poor. If abolished, it would
save the people over $50. OOO, 900 a year.
II partly abolished, il would save them
proportionate amount of that sum.
Here are two points for reduction of
the revenue from which all the people
would derive the benefit, and the sur
plus would be extinguished without af-
fecting the general tariff system or
causing injury to any great industrial
interest of the country.-Chicago Jour-
nal

supremacy of the Nation and the sub0f.
dination Of the States, Mr.. Davis CLING
to the idea that the principle Of seces--
sion had not been abandoned, and. that
in the end it would triumph.
It was natural that those Southern
people who believed in secession should
turn with a feeling of admiration and
the secession movement, but Mr. Davis
ceased to be . political force when the
war closed. His bitterest controversies
since that time have been with the moss
loyal of Southerners. He has differed
not only with the Southern people who
have become reconciled to the National
idea, bat with those who were most com
spicuous in fighting the battles Of the
lost cause. 1t has been q fashion to
credit the Northern people with unrea-
soning hatred OF jefferson Davis. and to
assume that this hatred was to his per-
son or to his personality. The truth iss
that Northern distrust and hostility to,
Mr. Davis were based on hisown enun.
citation Of deep-seated hostility to the
National idea. He was dangerous
man, because he was. at heart an enemy
to the Union and all it means to the
people. As the great majority of the
people are attached to the Union and
believe that the progress and prosperity
of the republic depend upon the prev
alence of a strong Union sentiment they
could not regard Jefferson Davis other.
than an enemy to existing institutions.

would not have been of such long dura-

not only the battles of the Confederacy
but the battles of secession and his own

was waged until the South was pros

the following anecdote on this sub.

whom he had to do in America was
the well known Jay Gould, 6nancier
OF much greater force than his new
adventurer in such unaccustomed
fields, and against whose overwhelm.

His account Of how he met this dan
ger was exceedingly characteristic.
He went to the remarkable parsonage
in question with that fine frankness
which is one of the most polished in.
struments Of diplomacy, being the
plair truth. He said to him II do
not think that your interests and
those Of my clients are opposed
to each other, but if you take
them in that light l am not equal to
you in ability; I cannot fight the
question with such champion as you
are-I must 60 to the wall" Jay

Antique Pockets.

The pocket was previously girdlo
and first Of all a purse, or pouch. Tho
ancient Hebrews carried q pouch and
the Roman matrons carried hand
bag which originated the modern reti-
Guile. They were at first made Of net
ting but later of leather. The Romans
came nearer to having q pocket than
any people until modern times A
portion Of the toga was bound in .
knot under the left breast and pro-
tuberance was there formed divided
into many folds, which was named
sinus, and answered the purpose of .
pocket. The Roman matrons con-
cealed valuables about their persons
in the upper part of the strofium, q
kind of corset fitting the waist tightly,
yet loose at top.
Charlemagne carried q travelling
pouch, which was suspended from his
person. The Saxons had purses, and
the Normans, when they came to
England, carried the aulmoniere, .
little purse for carrying aims for the
poor, which was suspended from the
girdle. The fashion of carrying the
purse in that way, but not for that
purpose, has revived in recent years.
The general thing was q purse Of tri-
angular form, frequently ornamented
with beads or trimming, and sus.
pended from the girlle. Bankrupts
figuratively gave up their effects to
their creditors by putting of the girdle
to which the purse and keys Of their
estate were attached. So long as Cir
dies were worn there was little need Of
a pocket, for custom and convenience
made it habit to thrust anything
within the encircling band.-Good
