Make Daughters independent.

How many men are there to-day
toiling night and day in order that
they may, when they die. leave their
daughters safe from want. and in
comfortable circumstances. The best
way to leave the daughters safe is to
give them q knowledge of business
and affairs that viii enable them to
take care OF themselves. Give them
the knowledge of a profession or oc-
cupation. so that they will be able to
take care of their money, if they have
any; TO earn it, if they have not. This
is better than to leave the daughter a
princely fortune, and make her a
mark in the community for every
eager, grasping, selfish prcdigal to
reach out to attain. Better have her
able to fight the battle Of life for her.

Government.


What Gen. Hancock said .of the tariff

ballot, viz: sit is local question. y
Ideal government is not az. yet posi-
Bile, that government when reached

jesus.of Nasareth, when he comman-
ded that the congregation. without
distinction ofsexor individuals should
be the source Of government. In the
future it may be that all adult people
should have a righs to the ballot; this
is nowhere practiced to-day, and it is
more than questionable whether any
people are ready for such universal
suffrage
There is a reflex benefit of the ballot
which enters bat little into our cur

question is not hard to answer. They

"Monarchs' = and their schools are

EDUCATED WON an SUFFRAGE in
MISSISSIPPI.


Judge Warren Cowan. in a letter to
the Jackson (Miss.) Commonwealth,
advocates woman suffrage upon an
educational and property qualification,
rs the best way OF neuualizing the
large ignorant vote of that Stats. Mis-
sissippi i soon to hold IA constitutions
al convention, sand Judge Cowan says:
Lat the constitutional convention
provide, in addition to those now en-
titled to vote, that every woman who
is n citizen OF the State, who can read
and write, and owns forty acres of
land in the county, or $500 worth Of
real estate in the city or town, and
who is not disqualified by law. BY rea-
son OF amy crime or misdemeanor, shall
have the right to vote at any election.
The number Of white women thus
enfranchised would largely exceed the
number of colored women and TIE
negro majority of the male voters
combined. 49,. There isa nothing in
this to conflict with any amendment
or any part Of the Constitution Of the
United States. Ii any reason can he
olfercd why an ignorant, besotlcd,
preiuaiced, immoral, worthless negro
man should vote, and Il refined, eau-
Gated white woman who owns proper
ty, pays taxes, and performs all the
duties OF her citizenship should not
vote, / would like vory much to hear
IT,
The Meridian News says that there
are about 10000 landowners in the
State who possess eighty acres apiece,
or more and that if each of these
would give half OF his land to his wife.
the number Of women thus entitled
to the suiTrage would wipe out tho
illiterGte vote. This plan has its good
features, especially the one which
looks to having each man divide lis
land with his wife. Bat the property
qualification proposed scans unneces-
sarily large. A moderate educational
qualification is not unreasonable, be-
cause any one can comply with it who
chooses to. take the trouble, But it is
undemocratic. to set up insuperab
barriers To the suffrage, and to many
persons d large property qualification
would be practically an insuperable

In speaking OF errors found IN
newspapers, one of our exchanges
truthfully remarks: "there are compar-
atively few newspaper men who have
not been, at some time or other, fair
ly paralyzed by some ipacuracv that
has occurred liz their respective Jour-
nals. Errors will occur in the best
papers, and even after the most pains
taking and careful attention, some
mistakes will crop ont that will rip
the editorial good nature from stem
to stern. 1t seems to be a part of
the business to get used to errors, as
the greatest men in the profession
have complained of tho same thing.
The poor printer often comes in for
the responsibility of Inaccuracies that
are due entirely to the editorial over

takes are rare indeed"

Coon-hunting still gives great en-
joyment to hunters in the mountain
districts of Massachusetts,. The skin
of the animal sells for s or more.
bat this reward is a mere trifle COM
pared to the pleasure the hunter finds
in tracking and freeing the coon and
finally bringing him to the ground.
Few men ever appreciated the sport
of this kind more keenly than GER
tain old farmer named Cephas Green.
He and his wife were one day jog
ging along toward the town in the
carryall, their business in the city
beng of especial Importance, nothing
less than the signing of papers which
should transfer half of their farm to
a neighbor.
They had still four miles to go,
when an acquaintance hastily crossed
the road in front of them, his gun on
his shoulder.
"After a coon," he said, hastily;
"my boy seen one in the woods up
here"
SIS that SOP" cried old Farmer
Green, excitedly. He passed the
reins to his wife, leaped from the
carryall and disappeared after the
sportsman.
Six hours later neighbor, driving
over the road, found the carryall
drawn up under tree, the horse
turned out to grass and Mis-. Green
sitting in the shade, with look of
disgust and WEAKNESS In her face.
Usually the most placid and oven
tempered of women, she now said,
with pardonable sharpness:
"It you see Job Sanders in town,
please tell him that Cepbas Green
has smelt coon, and that that trade
of ours won't be made as long as
that coon is alive. If you're hurried
for time. you needn't say anything
but 'Cephas Green aud COON Job'l
know the rest. ."--Y outh's Companion.
