A WONDER AMONG WOMEN.
The Pathetic Story OF Georgia
wife.

Writing from Americas, Ca,
under date of June 8, a CORES,
pondert of the Philadelphia Times
says: The death of Mrs. Susan
Z. Mortified, which occurred here
yesterday, revives interest in one
of the most peculiar cases ever
known of a vow of silence made
and kept 80 years.
In 1860 Mrs. Mortified, who. it
is said, was little woman Of a
peculiarly bright and CHEEKY dis
position, was telling her husband
Of some occurrence, when he res
quested her in a very surly manner
to be silent, adding that the sound
Of her voice was hateful to him.
1t seems that Mr.. McIrifeld,
while good husband in every
Other way, was in the habit of vent>
ing his aispleasure when aroused
by outside matters by i'll -humor
with his wife, whose good nature
usually passed his testiness by. but
on tins occasion she replied that
as 1t was hateful to him he should
never hear her voice again. And
he never did, nor did any other
person ever hear it, for in spite OF
her husbands re norse and remon-
strances from friel Dis and relatives,
MIS-, Llerrifield kept her room,
though she continued to act the
part of a good wife and mother,
fulfilling every duty scrupulously.
She even bore three children to
her husband after this vow was
taken. When communication was
absolutely necessary with those
about her she used a slate, but re-
duced language fsigns to such
perfection in governing her house,
hold and children that it was but
seldom that this slate was resorted
to.
1t was thought that when her
husband died she would resume
the use OF her speech, but while
she sat oy his dying bed, devoted
aud loving to the last, in answer to
his applications that she spoke but
a word to him, wrote on the slate
with all OF the evidences of grief,
Il cannot. | cannot! God forgive
and help me, | cannot "
But whether it was that she
found it impossible to break her
will and her VOW, or that long dis
use had affected her organs so that
she could not use them, could not
be arrived at, but her family in
clined TO The latter belief, for it is
said that while on her own death |
bed she made distinct, but inehec-
tual efforts to speak to her children, |
dying with the seal OF silence I'm.
from her lips.

Mr.. HARRISON studiously avoids
mention Of the soldier debauchery-
the army canteen system-although
he starts out with the sublimely ethical
clause: "The first concern of all good
government is the virtue and sobriety
of its people and the purity of the
home. The Republican party cor
daily sympathizes with all wise and
we'll directed efforts for the promotion
of temperance and morality" Though
approached by a committee represent
ing the National W. G. T. U. with
reference to the abominable "can-
teen" scheme, he treats them and
their petition with graveyard silence,
while his wife's painful conservatism
and ill-concealed fear for the future
tenancy of the White House make her
suffer serious loss of public esteem
all the more so when she is placed
alongside that womanly woman, Mrs.
Cleveland, whose example of right
eous courage makes her star Of the
first magnitude in the constellation of
American womanhood. Mrs. +. L..

The Prospective Party.
The various parties, the outgrowth
of the vexed labor question, have
planned general conference for the
23d of February looking to consoli-
dation into National Union Party.
But twill they do it? Dare they do
it," Will they not, when called upon
to fix the final seal to this movement
cast a longing, lingering backward
glance at their fond idols? Will they
not cling to the "dear old parties" as
did the ancient Egyptians to their
precious fesh-pots? No man can serve
two masters, no more can a man work
for prohibition and at the same time
serve liquor party. But for human
ity's sake give the people party
with a platform stout and staunch,
with temperance plank solid as the
rock-ribbed Gibraltar, sufficient to
bear up the world. AS long as men
persist in giving lip-service to Prohi-
bition ant ballot-service to the liquor
trade, so long shall we see the country
deluged in liquor and the earth
drenched in blood; so long shall we
see our proud land despoiled of its
very flower, and the home, earth's
paradise, robbed Of its best treasures.
Fathers of average intelligence can.
not expect sober, steady sons in a
government which has been voted the
privilege of converting these sons into
a nation Of drunkards.
