WHAT WOMEN ARE DOING.

THE New York Central railroad ha.
twenty-six female station agents.
For the first time in its history. the
Boston Dental College will graduate Z
woman.
NINE. LEON BERMAUx, the eminent
sculptress, has petitioned the French
Government to establish a free school
of art for women.
Miss ELEANOR L. FLEURY, of the Lon
don School Of Medicine for Women, has
a record in three medical colleges of the
highest honors that woman can attain.
The old saying that the world moves
was forcibly illustrated when the New
Hampshire Historical Society for the
first time conferred upon two women the
distinguished honor Of a corresponding
membership. 1t will be some time prob
ably before women will be granted the
full prerogatives of the association
Springfield Republican.
A FINE illustration of the growing
popularity Of women as public speakers
is the fact that two of the most import
ant courses Of lectures at Chautauqua
this season are to be given by women,
while the address on the greatest OF
Chautauqua occasions, Recognition day,
is to be delivered by Alice Freeman
Palmer, former president of Wellesley
College.
THE British Royal Society for the pro-
lection of life from fire has lately
awarded three prizes to women for brav-
cry and humanity at the burning of
the Forest Gate Asylum-to Miss Maria
Julia Bloomfield an illuminated testi-
monial and f3, and to Mrs. Eliza Roe
and Miss Laura Terry, niece of Ellen
Terry, certificates and prizes Of a sover-

LORD KNUTsFoRD, Minister for the
Colonies. London, states that women
have school and municipal suffrage in
West Australia. This great province
has 97s, 900 square miles and about so, 900
people. 1t is much larger than all the
United States east OF the Mississippi
Australia, in every province Of which
women are now ascertained to have this
form of suffrage. has 5000, 900 square
miles.
TIE year has been, in the opinion Ut
the Christian Union, in many ways an
suspicious one for college girls. The
opening Of the medical school in connec-
ton with the Johns Hopkins University
to women is great gain for those who
wish to pursue medical studies along
advanced lines and to have the facilities
for original investigation. Wells Col.
lege has secured q beautiful and ample
new home, which is said to compare IA.
vorably with the very best college archi'

Political Grimes In the South.

The ignorant man often commits
crime because he is Acknowledgements
of the certainty of his being discovered
and punished Ignorance is the para
mount cause of much crime. The greas
ballot-box crimes in the South are COM
mitted by the educated whites, aided by
the uneducated whites, and their crimes
are winked at OF pardoned by the ex-
emplars in religion. The Southern pull
pits IRE profoundly silent on Democrat
ic election frauds. These political
,rimes are rampant, not because the
1oers are educated in letters, in tho
sciences and arts, but because of in
herited race preiudices; because of the
ignorance Of the negro, upon whom they
are pcrpetrated, and the consequent
probability of escaping punishment;
and, also, because Of no education in she
home, the school or the church, that the
stealing Of ballots is stealing.-Memphis

What Politics should BE.

Rev. Charles G. Ames lately said:
There is nothing that looks worse
among us than the low esteem in which
we hold our own social affairs, which
we christen by the term politics"
nothing looks worse than that politics
should represent trickery rather than
principle; and so long as the regret to
see women interesting themselves in
politics comes from the feeling that
politics are ignoble, this is in itself an
indication of the need Of very deep
and radical change One hundred years
ago, the most accomplished woman in
Europe, Madame De Stael, was filed
with noble passion for the improve
ment OF the condition of humanity, and
she said: TO be occupied with politics
is religion, morality, piety. all togeth-
err You see what a noble conception
of politics she had; and herein let US
trust she speaks for the coming woman,
and also for the coming man-to be
occupied with nobler politics which
shall include every line of human re-
form that comes within the social cir

A TRIUMPH IN FRANCE.
Noteworthy Event In the Progress /,
Women Across the Water.

Noteworthy Event In the Progress Of
Women Across the Water.
A woman, Mime. Wiggishoff, has just
been elected to the Bureau of the
School Fund in Paris. 1t is the first
fill such position.
In the eighteenth ward of Paris, q
poor quarter and thickly peopled, there
are kitchens in connection with the
schools, where the poor children are
supplied with food. This lunch depart
ment has been admirably conducted by
committee of ladies, with Nine.
Wiggishoff as the secretary and man
ager. Last year these ladies wanted to
nominate their secretary, who had
given distinguished proofs of her ex-
ecutive ability. to place on the Bureau
Of the School Fund. This is an import
ant board, as it has the charge of forty
five schools, with about $4,000 pupils,
and revenue Of almost 200. 900 francs .
year.
With as much delicacy as possible, the
ladies were given to understand that
while they had shown great devotion to
the welfare OF the schools, and while
their services were fully appreciated. 1t
would be an unheard-of thing for q
woman to take her seat side by side with
men as regular member of the board.
Their services would be accepted with
gratitude, their advice would BE- listened
to with respect; but admit them to the
board? never! 1t was "a question Of
principle"
This year Nine. Wiggishof was again
a candidate, and this time, after lively
contest and an obstinate opposition, she
was elected. The few ladies Of the
eighteenth ward who had votes support
ed her unanimously, and alarge number
OF men ranged themselves on the same
side. 1t is regarded as a great triumph
for the women. The progressive party
are happy, while the conservatives are
looking for the foundations of society to
give way. La Cheyenne expresses the
hope that more women will be elected
to the board in coming years, and that
other wards will follow the example Of

to rule the State. Sowhen the Governor
talks about the South he means New
York City and Tammany. But If he has
any proofs of INSTRUMENTATION in the
city let him submit them to the proper
authorities and they viii be attended TO.
AS to his other falsehoods they can be
answered briefly. The gigantic fraud"
of 1876 began with an attempt by the
Democrats to steal the States of Louisi-
ana, Florida and South Carolina, in
which they failed, and to steal the
States of Mississippi and Alabama. in
which they succeeded, and it ended
with decision against the Democrats
given by tribunal to which the ques-
ton at issue was referred for arbitration
in accordance with their own suggestion
and request.
As for the Montana Senators, the title
of the Republican contestants was better
than that Of the Democrats, and inf
nitely better than the title which the
Senators from .he Republican States of
South Carolina, Mississippi. Florida and
Louisiana can show to their seats
As for the turning out of half dozen
Democratic members of the House who
we're holding seats to which they
were not entitled, the Maryland and
West Virginia cases being samples, the
Republicans simply did their duty by
giving the seats to those to whom the
proofs showed they belonged. Any.
honest court if it had jurisdiction would
have done the same thing. 1t is bad
taste for Democrat to complain Of this
when 1t is notorious that whenever the
Democrats have controlled the House Of
Congress they have unseated Republic
ans with precious little canss and kept
Democrats in the seats to which they
we're not entitled IN defiance vf justice.

woman, not child; that she Is OF age,
not under tutelage. Secondly, that she
may feel free, as her husband would
feel, to subscribe for such charities as
may seem to her desirable. As it is,
any subscription agent will tell you that
the husband puts down his dollar or his
ten dollars without hesitation, on his
own judgment; while the wife rarely
ventures on subscription even to the
Missionary Society or the Seaside Home
for Sick Children, without requesting
the agent to call again, that she may
have had an opportunity to ask her hus-
band. Thirdly, that she may make pres

abel, who once broadly limited that he
was not good provider for his family.
That may be very good reason why he
should not be taxed for them; but mas
much as it was Aunt Mehitabel who
brought the wife up from childhood, and
Cousin Sarah who nursed the baby
through diphtheria it is perfectly right
that the wife should give them a
Christmas present out of her own
money. And there lies just the point;
it is not her own money. or never seems
like it to her delicate conscience, so long
as she has to ask anybody for it, even
her husband. Therefore she will sit up
late at night, after the children's mend
ing is done or superintendent. knitting
the last fibres of her nervous system in

the cousin, when there is something
which they need great deal more, only
that it costs dollar or two to buy. And

Reverend Lloyd "Talks Out in
MeetiNsS'

At a church in the country in
Fayette County, recently, Rev
Lloyd of Georgetown had a packed
house confirming many of the finest
and most substantial farmers of this
county.
In the course of his very earn
est remarks he shook his finger at
the crowd before him, and said
about as follows: "Eou aro a lot
of towards; in your heart of hearts
you believe in Prohibition, and yet
when the election comes you will
walk up and voie for Democracy,
because YOU are afraid somebody
will point finger at you if you
don't"
| know there will be those who
will disparagingly say that this
sounds too much like sam Jones,
but the fact is that the ease the
Reverend gentleman was dealing
with is bad one, and requires he
role treatment,
He knew that what he said was
true, and the people to whom he
said ii knew it was true, and YOU
may read the utteranccS of that
preachers great Exemplar, when
lie was talking to such people upon
such subjects, and YOU will find that
the Rev. Lioyd's style is much
nearer the standard than the mild
sugar-coated protests Of the fash
ionablc pulpit,
While the latter will scarcely
arouse it, hearers from the ordinary
church drowsiness, there are those
who will remember Rev. Lloyd's
words when they are going to the
polls to vote in November.

When at Louisville lately, |
called upon Brother SAWYER, late

account of his late troubles.

misinformation he has published
that II a'ccrtain physician sold whi,,

things of an immoral nature, and
the physician brought suit Ior Grim

being able to sustain his charge,

He admits that he made mis-
