Natural Inequality of Men.

Thus men are certainly not born
free and equal in natural qualities:
when they are born the predicates
free and 'equal'' in the political
sense are not applicable to them, and
as they develop, year by year, the diff
ference in the political potentialities
with which they really are born become
more and more obviously converted
into actual differences inequality
of political faculty shows itself to be a
necessary consequence of the iuequali-
ty of natural faculty. 1t is probably
true that the earliest men were nomads
But among body of naked, wander.
ING savages, though there may be nc
verbally recognized distinctions of
rank or Office, superior strength and
cunning confer authority of a more
valid kind than that secured by act of
parliament; there may be no property
in things. but the witess man will be
poverty stricken in ideas, the clever
man will be a capitalist in that same
commodity. which in the long run
buys all other commodities; one will
miss opportunities, the others will
make them; and, proclaim human
equality as loudly as you like, Witness
vii! serve his brother. So long as men
are men and society is society, human
equality will be dream; and the as
sumption that it does exist is as untrue
in fact It's it sets the mark of impracti-
cabiity on every theory of what ought
to he which starts from it.-P0puiu7

Is There Such a Girl?

What funny creatures some girls are!
| heard the other day of yJung wo-
man who lives in one of the swellest
parts of Philadelphia who calmly and
deliberately practices before Il looking
glass what she wodld do in case of fire.
Her robe de mutt is a very charming
CONNECTION. and beside her bed is placed
delightful gown of softest and thick
est wool, lined with quilted satin. with
a pretty pair of high fur-lined boots to
match. With these dainty garments
she has a hood. also fur-lined, for, per-
ish the thought! she wears curl papers
and must therefore shield her lovely
head. The operation of quickly hop
ping out of her bed into the shoes and
at the same time drawing on the wrap
per and hood is accomplished in an in
credibly short space of time, and she
then WISHES frantically to the window
and auows her Imagination to run riot
in the way of Kissing engines. frantic,
rubber-incased fireman, and excited
crowds; after this mental exercise she
takes caramel. perhaps, gets out of
her becoming fire escape" and re-
tires to her nest with the proud con-
sciousness of duty accomplished. =
