VOLUME 8.

With the last issue began Volume 8, of WoMANs
CHRONICLE. Two years ago, March Sd, we ven
tured out into the field of journalism, despite the
predictions that woman's paper could not live.
Many gave us three months in which to die and be
buried in oblvion's grave. The longest time
accorded us in which to give up the ghost was six
months, and one gentleman facetiously remarked
that if the day was pleasant and he was not too
busy, he would attend our funeral. Upon this
gentleman we have kept an observing eye. He
NAV have had some few busy days and many idle
ones vet we have not called upon him. True, it
is hard to interest all women in the advancement
of their own sex, and, as one of our contemporaries
kindly said of us at the beginning, we cannot
ecome into the field as politicians though politics
nav: we cannot be sensational, nor can we give in
detail society gossip" We have endeavorcd at
all times to give the latest and best news concern
ing our own sex, and have endeavored to point
out way in which others have been successful.
In the future as in the past, we shall still try to
leave "footprints on the sands of time to cheer,
encourage and strengthen those who stand in
need. If we succeed in doing even in faint
degree what we attempt, we shall not have toiled
N vain.

BY JOHN R. wHERRY.

DO you remember sweetheart the time that we met
Twas on the city pavement-the was very wet
And you were yourway from school, was standing by
You came in all your childish grace laughter in your
eye;
You were a city maiden born, and country boor
Your father was Cr9sus love- while was very poor
Your feet slipped the flag stones love- as YOU trimmed 40
sweet and meek
caugh you in love- kissed you on the cheek
There nothing wrong in this love- for YOU were but
child,
While was near manhood grown though somewhat rude
and wild.
You told me that your good mamma would lawful vexed"
have been,
Though you were only six years DID, was near sixteen
And well you must remember love- how gently your
hand,
And talked my poor country you could understand
though had boorish look and people laughed me-
saw that you behed, my love- what others did
That there would come time, love- though years would roll
between,
When I'd be the twentes love- you'd be sweet sixteen
Long years have passed since them love-
old flags,
We pass the rich in all their PRIDE the beggar his rags
We've had days of peaceful e days hopes and
fears
But still we hold together love- through all the eeng years.
But we're going down the incline, love- have long
walt,
For am In the sixties now, willie you eight
The time coming fast love, when will stand alone
Above little mound Of earth where faires flowers are
strown,
That will then remember love- through years grief
bliss,
When the city Stones love- had first kiss

A SUGGESTION has been made by one who reads
and enjoys THE CHRONICLE, and who kindly wishes
us long life and prosperity. 'Is there not some
way" asks this friend, "by which the poetry writ
ten by Arkansans Cor those who residents Of the
State, could be preserved" Arkansas has with
in her borders some fine native-born poets and
many beautiful pictures could be culled from the
writings that occasionally find their way into print.
We heartily endorse the suggestion and hope some
plan may be devised by which these writings, that
would do credit to any State in the Union may be
preserved for the credit of Arkansas.
This reminds us of the fact, that not long ago
we were told Of lady in Massachusetts,, who was
compiling for publication short biographical

ated vi, O00 900 for streets, water, lights and gen.

AT the National-American Woman Suffrage Con-
vention at Washington, Rev. Anna H. Shaw was
unanimously elected as National Lecturer for the
association. Miss Shaw has resigned her position
as Superintendent of Franchise in the W. C. T. U.
and will hereafter devote herself to the work of
obtaining the franchise for women.
NOTWITHSTANDING it has always been held that
woman's powers Of endurance are greater than
MANS yet if both are lost at sea, the law then
assumes that he is stronger and consequently sur
wives her, and the property, provided they are
childless, goes to his relatives.
Place your eye carefully at this hole in the mill
stone, and what do you see?
You discover that men made the laws.
However, seven cases of this kind have been
followed up in the French courts in the past ten
years, and it has been found that the woman sur
vived her husband, so the law has been reversed.
ONE remarkable feature of the Worlds Fair
contest was the fact that Arkansas representatives
voted for New York City. Arkansas is a part of
the Southern Interior her interests are with the in
terror, her hopes for the future depend upon the
development Of the interior, and why her repre-
seutatves should cast their votes solely in the in
terests of seaboard State, is a puzzle to wom-
ans head, and one calculated to push even mans
brain for an explanation. Had St. Louis been
selected as the site for the worlds show, not only
would the whole South have received more or less
of the benefits but Southern visitors could have at
tended with much less expense, while foreign visit
ors would have been far more likely to have ex-
tended their visit through the Southern States. II
Southern representatives do not speak for the
South, who will do so?
A SUGGESTION has been made by one who reads

FROM Frankfort, KY, comes the news of the
passage of Senator Lindsay's equal Property
Bill'' by the Senate, February 28, by majority
vote of 20 to II. This bill provides that mar
ried woman may hold her separate estate apart
from her husband; may sue and be sued and un-
der certain circumstances transact business Some
excellent speeches were made both for and against
this important measure Senator Hendricks made
what was considered ringing speech, and one of
the best of the season, in opposition to the bill
Many OF the reasons he advanced have been so
often presented that they are time-worn and hack
neyed. He said it would make husband and wife
separate and distinct in property relations and
would tend to divide the family
Senator Hendricks should recall many we'll
known instances wherein the law has made the
husband custodian of the wife's property very
much to the detrment of the wife. One for in
stance given in late journal, tells of widow
who, after contracting a second marriage, came
into possession of property to the amount of
$4,000. This she received in payments of SlO,-
900, and transferred the money to her husband for
investment. He being prudent, invested in land
that proved very valuable, but unfortunately for
her he invested it entirely in his own name. TO
her dismay she learned that if she survived him
she could only receive one-third of the estate
which really was all her own, having been pur-
chased with her money; that in case she died trst,'
having borne him no children, her son bya
former marriage could claim nothing; that
the property passed at the death of her
husband to his relatives. Undoubtedly there
are two sides to every question, and it is
time that the one which bears so unfairly upon
woman should be held up for inspection. The
Senator's theory that business relations units
woman for the more sacred duties of wife and
mother is as great fallacy as that advanced by
Montrose Pallen, who writes after his name NJ. d.
This very learned gentleman asserts that the
higher education of woman units her for the per-
Torrance of the duties belonging to her sphere,
and cites to prove his assertion what is done by
the Kafir Indian squaw but strangely enough he
forgets to compare the male of this Kaflir tribe
with his Caucasian brother of the nineteenth CEN
fury.
Senator Lindsay answered all arguments against
his bill, and stated that it was an exact copy Of
the Texas law and Texas had passed it by 100000
majority with fifty three counties yet to be heard
from. The bill finally passed the Senate, and
there is said to be strong feeling in the House in
its favor. If it becomes law it will be the most
important step ever taken in this direction in the
State Of Kentucky.

Indians as Regular Troops.

The suggestion of Secretary Proc
tor that a regiment of the regular
army be formed of Indians is one
that ought to bear fruit, and it seems
strange that the experiment has not
been Dried before. In India the ma
tives farnish the bulk of the British
forces, and many of the fiereest and
most intractable elements of the ma
tive population have been brought
within the scope of military discip-
line and converted from predatory
robbers and murderers, or savage
followers of some untamed chief, into
staunch, reliable soldiery. The same
thing could be done with the wilder
tribes of the West, whose warlike
spirit would thus be given vent, while
at the same time the process of edu-
eating individual members in orderly
habits would be going on. The en-
ployment of Indians reservation po-
lice and scouts has been attended
with good results, and they are doubt
less equally capable of being utilized
as regular soldiers. Their incorpor-
alton into the army by degrees would
naturally tend to draw the more rest
less, adventurous spirits away from
the reservations, and the result could
scarcely fail to be a very marked i'm
provement in the general condition
of the various tribes, which are now
more or less unruly, owing to lack of
congenial employment and OF Oppor-
tunities for gratifying the martial
ambition so strong in the average
Indians breast.

The site of prehistoric village
has just been discovered on the Ohio
side of the river, about one and one
half miles north of Parkersburg, w.
Va. The town site comprises an
area of about four acres, and over
the entire area the earth is generally
slightly burned, having a reddish
color, and is thickly intermixed with
fragments of pottery, streaks of ashes
and fragments of bones of animals
and human beings. In several places
are to be seen the ruins Of what seem
to be ancient freplaces, containing
charcoal, intermixed with charred
nuts Of yariuos sorts. In and
around these freplaces are found
ornaments and implements, such as
battle-axes, celts, knives, drills, spear
and arrow points and ornaments
made of bone and slate. The spear
and arrow heads are of fine work
manship and are all of very hard
substance, as agate, chalcedony,
camelian, quartz, jasper and slate.

The New State Treasurer.

Mr.. Edwin III. Brown, of Queen
Anne's county, who has been ap-
pointed State Treasurer of Maryland,
to succeed Stevenson Archer, remov-
ed, is a lawyer of prominence on the
Eastern Shore, gentleman of deci-
ded capacity for affairs and a sub
stantial citizen of high character
among his home people. Although
an active party man he has not been
an office-holder, except as States
attorney of his county, or one who
has been specially favored by the par
ty management, and he may be class
ed among the ADLER young men of
the Maryland democracy, indepen-
dent, firm and courageous, whom it
seems to have been the only policy
in recent years to keep in the back
ground when it could be done. He
is brother of State Senator Brown,
who was one of the Senators who SO
courageously defended the rights of
the people against the machine and
lobby during the recent session of
the Legislature. Mr.. Archer is re-
moved by the Governor on the ex-
plicit ground of malfeasance in office
and misrepresentation of the funds of
the State. The additional charge of
embezzlement will be made against
him upon his failure to hand over to
his successor all the funds and secu-
rites for which he is accountable to
the State, and a criminal prosecution
will doubtless follow.
