alone. It exists in England where pro. posal has been made to appeal to par lament for the extension of the fran chise to women. This proposal called out a reasonable remonstrance from a large number of English ladies, repre- senting leaders in society, in literature and education, the wives of politicians, and, in fact, a large proportion of the women who are supposed to give ex- pression to the best life and thought of the country. These women address themselves to tue common sense and educated thought of the English people, and put themselves on record squarely, not against tie increase of privilege and opportunity for their sex, but against taking action which will exchange the present influences of the sex, which is indirect, for an influence which seems to promise more, but really secures less, for women than the present position of deference and indirect working which they occupy. 1t is claimed in their re- monstrance that the women who are urging parliamentary suffrage for them selves enjoy all the protection and safety to their property which they could reasonably expect. When the justice of the extension of female suffrage is presented, they use an argument already employed i'll this country, that parties can justly claim no right to vote when they are not i'll a position to bear the responsibilities which the right of voting implies These responsibilities in- ciude the public service which men render in politics, in the national defense, in the direction of industry and finance, and
 imply most serions service. These ser
 vices, from the very nature of the case,
 are not expected from women, and
 thing from what it is now if they en 1 tered as rivals into the fields now Occu- pied by men.
 This appeals interesting to Americans
 because it shows how thoroughly well
 grounded English women of position
 and influence are in maintaining the
 rights of their sex without insisting upon
 the concession of other rights which
 they believe women could not possess
 without losing more than they would
 gain. And if some of our strong
 minded females would take the lesson o1
 the remonstrance to themselves it
 would have benefit not perhaps less
 important because it was not specially intended to reach them.

FALSE FIRE ALARM.
How Innoccnt Old Gentleman Created
 Gcod Deal of Excitement.

How an Inn0cent Old Gentleman Created
 Gcod Deal of Excitement.
 A Cambridge gentleman was asked to buy a ticket to the fremens ball and good naturedly complied, says Boston letter to the Providence Journal. The next question was what to do with it. One of his two men-servants would probably be glad to use it, but he did not wish to show favoritism. Then it occurred to him that he might buy another ticket and give both of his servants a pleasure.
 Not knowing just how to proceed he in- quired of a policeman where the tickets were to be had.
 ''Why don't you go down to the engine kouse!" said the officer. '.The men all know you"
 So the old gentleman went to the engine house but when he entered there was no one in sight He had never been in such a place before, but was perfectly familiar with the use of electric signals. On the side of the room was "a button, evidently connected with bell, and naturally enough, after waiting minute or two he put his thumb upon it.
 The effect was electrical in every sense of tho word. From the air overhead-so, at least, it seemed to the old gentleman in his bewilderment-men began to rain down, completing their toilets as the fell. The horses rushed out of their stalls, and, in a word, all the machinery of a modern en- zine house was instantly in motion.
 Amid all this turmoil stood the mild d-man- nered and innocent old gentleman, who, even now, did not suspect that he had touched the fire alarm. The men rushed upon him for information as to the where abouts of the fire, but when he opened his mouth it was only to say, in the mildest &C., cents:
 II should like to buy another ticket to the ball, if you please"
 Tho situation was so lud1crous that no one could be angry, not even the men whose nap had been broken into, and the old gen. tleman bought his ticket and departed in peace.

AUNT STARTERS WHIM.
An Old Lady Who Is Put to Sleep by the
 BeatinS of B Drum.

Beating of a Drum.
 Among the queer people in this part of the world, says letter from Findlay, O., is Mrs. Ann Shaffer, familiarly known as
 'Aunt Ann" She lives on farm with her husband about ten miles from this city, is over seventy-niu years old, and in full possession of all her faculties. Her chief peculiarity-for she has a number-is that she can not sleep unless her husband beats drum in front of the house for at least an hour; and summer and winter, night after night, the roll of old Jacob Shaffer's drum can be heard by the neighbors for miles around as he leads the charge which his
 wife is making into dream,and. He has
 snare drum which he made for himself during the early years of the war, and, as
 he was incapacitated from going into the army by reason of physical disabilities, he did what he could for the country by acting as the drummer for company of
 "home guards which drilled in his neigh borhood.
 It was during this period that his wife first developed her strange mania. Being Of highly nervous temperament, and much wrought up over tho war, she could not sleep at night unless her husband was awake. As he was not permitted to sleep
 until his wife had first journeyed into the realms of slumber he put in the time prac- ticing upon his drum. In this way Aunt Ann" grew into the habit of falling asleep to the systematic music of the drum, and soon it became a necessity. She could not sleep without it's solacing sound, and thus the years have gone on, every night the same. About eight o'clock Uncle Jacob gets out his drum and goes to work as If he were leading a charge on a battery, and then gradually drops into slower and more soothing music until at the end of an hours steady beating he feels convinced that his wife is sound asleep. Then he puts aside his sleep producer and joins the partner of his joys and sorrows on her excursion into slumberland.
 The Shaffers have nice farm and are in good circumstances, and barring this drum peculiarity, are quiet people andlgood neigh bors Both husband and wife belong to the Methodist Church

SAVED BY A BATH.
Tho Efficacy of Cold Water in Cases oi
 Typhoid Fever.

Tho Efficacy of Cold Water in Cases of
 Typhoid Fever.
 The efficacy of the cold bath in typhoid fever is now admitted, and the doctors are claiming it as discovery of science. Fever patients would have discovered it long ago if they had been permitted to treat them selves. A dear friend of Washington Capital correspondent discoveredit it for him. self when prisoner of war in East Tennes- see. He had been captured and was on his way further South when taken with ty- phoid fever. His guard found him delirious when waking him to continue his march. They consigned him to the care of @ farm CTS wife who looked kindly upon the sui fering prisoner. She gave him spare room and religiously shut the windows lest he should have a draft of Heavens air and die; she denied him the cool water of the well, because the country doctor said so. hours and the kind watcher by his bed slept the sleep of the righteous. Awakening suddenly the nurse found the sick bed empty. The patient had gone. Running out to the front yard she heard spluttering noise, which she traced to the deep, cold mountain well. Get ting q candle she lowered 1t by string to the waters brink, and there stood the Yankee soldier, up to his chin In the cold water. He had escaped while she slept and had sought for cooinoss and found it. It took some time to rouse the sleepy negro man, who was farm hand and general fac totum. After an hour or more the soldier was rescued. He was hoisted up, and, for the first time in many hours, he was con- scious. He was wrapped in blankets amid many forebodings Of death. Sweet sleep ensued, and tho next morning appetite re- turned. A few days and strength returned. The man was cured by Natures remedy. He never saw a Confederate prison, for the kind woman p,loted him over the mountains to the Union lines. He remembers that well to this day with the deepest gratitude, and no summer passes that he does not send to the East Tennessee farm some remem- branca of the kindness he had there.

FEMALE SUFFRAGE.

The increasing agitation on the part of a certain set of strong-minded women and their male sympathizers on the sub- iect of female suffrage is in many re- spects similar to that kept up by the ad- vocates of prohibition. No matter how frequently or how emphatically they may be compelled to accept defeat they again come forward as determined and as hopeful as ever. They live in an at mosphere of enthusiasm and excitement which seems to imbue them with peren- nial energy.
 And yet there can be little basis for reasonable hope that femaIe suffrage is likely to be an accomplished fact within hailing distance of the present genera tion. While the majority of women seem indisposed, as they certainly do, to claim or urge the right of suffrage, there is little reason to expect that men will crowd themselves in their hurry to grant it. This indisposition on the part of women generally to secure the franchise is not characteristic of our own country

FAT BILLS TROUSERS.
A Good Old Story Revamped for tho Bon.
 eft ot the Rising Generation.


 eft ot the Rising Generation.-
 Every body, that is, nearly every. body, knows Bill M, the printer, and his geniality and good nature have won for him host of admirlng friends, says the St. Louis Republic. man of ponderous girth, but of medium height, he finds 1t rather difficult to procure trousers of the right dl- mensions when not made to order. This fact has given rise to no little annoyance in his life, and it has often caused him days of hesitation before venturing forth in quest of a new pair to replace the old ones. Re- gently, however, his trousers, which had seen long aud constant service, began to display the effects of the relentless tooth Of time, and his good wife chided him upon his appearance. Sung by her remarks Bill sought store devoted to the sale of cloth ing and purchased for himself pair of trousers. After assiduous search Q pair
 was found of sufficient expanse of waist
 band to accommodate his vast rotundity,
 but, unfortunately, the length was good
 six inches greater than desired. It was the
 best that he could do, however, and, think
 ing to have his wife remedy tho defect, as
 only woman can. he bore them proudly
 home. Tho wrapper was removed and the
 purchase displayed-Bill explaining the
 trouble, and asking his wife to alter them
 in time for him to wear them on the follow
 ing day. To this proposition the wife for
 some reason demurred and hatly refused to
 comply with hls request. Sore at heart, Bill went quietly to bed, leaving the trousers hanging by the head of his bed. He fell asleep and dreamed of tho ridiculous figure he would present when arrayed in pair of pantaloons of such ex- travagant length, but in the midst of his slumbers his mother-in-law-a generous, kindly soul-took compassion upon him, and, slipping into the room, removed the garment In few moments, with the aid of pair of scissors and needle and thread, the surplus cloth had been removed. Quiet | ly she restored them to their place, think | ing to surprise him when he awoke. Scarce | ly had she gone when her sister-in-law, who
 had heard the wife's refusal, and who knew
 nothing of her mothers action, went quiet 1 ly to the room, secured the trousers, and l removed the requisite six inches. BilPs | wife, on going to bed. noticed the trousers l hanging in the room, and, feeling that she 1 had perhaps been a little arbitrary, took l them quietly down, and in another moment another six inches had been taken from their length. The work accomplished she re- stored them to the hook and went to bed l Bill awoke betimes and donned his new 1 trousers. He arose, glanced at his neither ! limbs, and Q look of horror and despair crept over his face. Instead of being too l long, as he had anticipated, they scarcely
 fell below the knee. Excitedly he called his wife and called her attention to the ! strange transformation. Inquiries were | instituted in the household, and mutual ex- ! p1an atjonS followed
