A PROTEST.

It passes for wit with the men of today
To speak in a careless, c~ontenptuous way
OF every brave woman who Loyalty pleads
With men for the rights that our womanhood
needs.
'Giye women their rights. - you seornfully say;
"What rights does she lack, a woman, today?
Let her stay by the fireside she's fitted to grace,
In the kitchen or nursery, that is her place,
With her husband, the oe; around which she
may Irvine:
What other desire has the rightly trained vine?''
We must pay all the taxes, for we have 80 choice,
Abide by the laws in which we have no voice;
And all because we are mot fitted to mix
With the crowd round the polls or in rough poll
tics"
A polite way Of putting-o friends, do not doubt
it,
That we haven't the sense to take in aught
about it.
Wis milk fit for babies of intellect weak
To hush our complainings, forbid us to speak
Remember the words of the wise man. my
brother,
'rThe heart of a fool d~espiseth his mother"
You say that for US you make generous laws,
So we have no need to espouse our own cause;
Yet thus at our pleadings you scott and you
laugh, Ell?
We ask you for bread, and you feed us on taTy

tector."
Having related this narrative under evil
dent emotion, but with a thrilling pathos
that no language can describe, the speaker
stopped as though under too great emotion
to proceed. Then, slowly turning her face
suffused with tears. in the direction of the
preacher who had first spoken, whose face
was now completely hidden uuder the
broad brimmed hat, she continued in
tremulous accents, THAT dear friend,
whose voice and words have thrilled Us
this morning, was that gentle benefactor;
and she who now addresses you was that
little beggar girl"

announcement. My eyes had been moist
during the whole recital. They were now

Reason.

1 heard a clever woman give as her
reason for declining matrimony: That
she could not live a dependent life again,
and that city wives had to be dependent
because there was nothing for them to
do in flats, even in the way of house
keeping. She was willing to go on a
farm and engage in agriculture, for she
could endure privationsif she had plenty
of remunerative work which ultimately
would reward her. The man, more
helpless than herself, feared to give up
his salaried position, and the woman re-
fused his offer of marriage.-Drake's
Magazine.

GEN. SPINNER AND THE WOMEN
X

General Spinner's death recalls many
Instances of his kindness to women. In
the Home Magazine. edited by Mrs. Logan,
the General last spring gave the following
graphic aecounto of the opening Of the Z. S.
Treasury Department to women clerks,
through his exertions. He said: When 1
became Treasurer of the United States, I
hunted around for a chance to carry out
what were called my peculiar ideas in
regard to women. 1t was not long before
tender notes came from the engrasers in
New York in shes is, with blank margins
all around. four notes on each sheet.
When a banker, | had found that my wife
and daughters could trim bank-notes
faster and more neatly than my clerks or
l could. so l Used to let them do that work
for me. Suspecting that tw~elve-hundrsd
dollars-a year clerks were performing this
service. | ven on a tour of investigations;
and. sure enough. | found a score or more
ofhale and hearty young men, armed with
small shears, busy clipping the notes. |
went to Governor Chase, then Secretary of
the Treasury, and stated to him my ex-
p~erienee as a banker in regard to this kind
of work; and said TO him that these young
men should have muskets instead of shears
placed in their hands, and be sent to the
front, and their places filled by women,
who would do more and better work, 1t
half the pay that was given to these men
milliners.' He hesitated for some time,
fearing that the Introduction of women
would demoralize the department. He At
length consented that l might send him n
woman to test the matter. | at once
thought of Miss Jennie Douglass, tbs
protegee of Hon. Gerrit Smith, the
philanthropist, who had been an assistant
teacher in Mrs. Smiths Seminary for
young ladies in Washington, where my
daughter was a pupil. Mrs. Smiths
school was broken up by the war. Miss
Douglass then commenced a school for
young ladies in Mrs. General Gaines
residence. This, too, for the same cause,
failed; so she was unemployed. She said
she would be glad to accept the place at
fifty dollars per month, which was less
than half the price paid the men, who re-
ceived twelve hundred dollars for eleven
months service. l furnished her with
long bankers shears, with which she
could trim the whole length of a sheet at .
single clip, showed her how to do it, and
told her what was expected OF her, and
set her To work beside the clerks. Tbs
result was, she did more work than any
one of the clerks on the very first day.
Thi. decided the whole mater. The men
were sooa all replaced by women. This
was the entering wedge for ths employ
ment Of women in the Treasury, and was
a steppirg-stone to their employment as
clerks. OF course | felt happy. This
happened in the early spring of 1852.
'T am conscious mat | have done some
good in the world, and that | AVE not
lived entirely in vain; but the fact that |
first introduced women as clerks into de
partmant of the National Government At
Washington is the one act of my life with
which | am entirely satisfied, and in which
| feel an honest pride"

AT LAST.

Her lily hand was clasped in his,
But, with a lovers foolish dread,
''Tell me you love me, dear" he cried
you know it now" she said.
"Perhaps-but tell me. dearest love-"
Her sunny head dropped sweetly low
And hid upon his beating heart.
She whispered, Now you know"
But say it, dear" Around his neck
One rounded arm crept gently slow.
She murmured, as he stopped to hear.
"You cannot help but know"
But let me hear you say it, love"
Her lips pursed up a pretty pout,
She stamped her foot love youi there,
/ hope you've found it out"

The balance Of tho day has been
taken up with motions and demurrers.
AT four o'clock the grand jury made a

Mary Moore has been indicted for
grand larceny. She was arraigned

twenty four hours in which to plead.
The crime for which Mary Moore
was indicted was the taking of about
$50 from Amanda Shirley (full
mention of which was at the time
published in the SrAR) the circum-
stances Of which are as follows: Mrs,
Shirley was a visitor at the home Of J.
7. Montgomery, where Mary Moore
was employed as a domestic. She took
the money from the trunk of Mrs.
Shirley and soon after left the en-
ployment of MI. Montgomery, and en-.

Who is He?

AS Mr.. Ycgo and Joe Brown were
coming across the Bad Lands in search
Of horses the Indians stole last fall,
they found in a small canyon north
west of Sheep Mountain a whole skel-
eton of a man who had been shot
through the head. There were pieces
Of a cowboy saddle and the remains of
a horse beside him. The color Of the
horse was a gray or light roam. 1t is
supposed that he was shot by the In
dams as there is a bullet hole in the
horses head. The question is. who is
he?-Herposa Pilot.
The paragraph is causing considera-
bic inquiry among some of our citizens
and a suspicion is entertained that the
murdered man is none other than A.
w. Meyers. a resident of this county.
While there is no conclusive proof of
that fact, yet there are some circum-
stances that point that way. On the
seventh day of last July, A. w. Meyers
left his home near Fall River, south
east of this city, for the purpose of
finding some cattle that belonged to
Mrs. Meyers, that had been reported as
seen vel on the reservation. Meyers
intention upon leaving was to be gone
not more than a couple of weeks.
About two weeks after leaving, Mrs.
Meyers received a letter from him,
written at the house of q squaw man.
in east of Iiern,osa. This letter was
taken to Herlnosa and mailed there.
The letter stated that he (Meyers) had
succeeded in finding some of the cattle
and had heard of more, and he would
stay a few days more before returning
home. That is the last Mrs. Meyers
has heard from her husband.
Meyers was under bonds to appear
here at the present term of the circuit
court, to answer to a CRIMINAL charge,
but he had amply secured his bonds
men so that they are nothing out. The
charge was not a serious one, and grew
out Of a conflicting claim Of ownership
to certain horses, and we understand
could have been compromised and the
criminal charge withdrawn.
Interested parties ale investigating,
and we shall await with inter est the
result of their Investigations.

Cakes Without Eggs.

Observing housekeepers quickly learn that Dr.. Prices
Cream Baking Powder is far superior to other brands in
the fact that they never fail to make the finest pastry, and
if they wish to be economical they can dispense entirely with
eggs and can use a less quantity of butter for shortening
purposes. The advantage is not alone in the saving effected
but in avoiding the trouble and frequently the great difficulty
of securing eggs that are fresh. This is often a serious
trouble.
Cakes Of various kinds from the informal Griddle
Cakes to the stately Bride Cake can be made with Prices
Cream Baking Powder, which insures light, sweet and hand.
