WHERE WOMEN PROPOSE.

Argonia, Kan, has just had the e1-
perience of one of the most unique we'd
dings that any place can boast of. Ar
gonia is under woman rule. The town
officers are all women, and, in fact, when
it comes to official business the men are
not in it. This peculiar and 70 certain
extent abnormal condition of affairs has
given to the ladies en- independence of
thought and action that is far in ad-
vance of the ordinary women of the
country.
Not only do the married ladies enjoy
greater freedom and broader views, but
the girls and young ladies take on freer
thought. There has been a growing in
dependence among the young ladies, and
at a small evening party some weeks ago
the matter of equal rights was discussed
by the young of both sexes. The young
men took the ground that while the Ia
dies could vote and hold Office there
were some instances in which they had
to acknowledge the supremacy of man,
the matter of courtship and marriage be-
ing specially referred to.
This at first was poser for the ladies,
but Miss Ella Smith said she thought she
had as much right to go courting as a
man had, and if she wanted to marry a
man she would ask him. The matter
was looked upon as joke, but few
days afterward the young lady made
good her assertion by calling upon Wal
ter Tifin, and, after brief conversation,
proposed marriage.
As she was one of the most desirable
young ladies of the town she was eagerly
accepted by the fortunate young man,
and the wedding came off last Wednes-
day evening. The ceremony was per-
formed by Mrs. James Gibson, who is
Justice of the Peace of the town. The
wedding was joyous affair. and it Is
said the innovation will spread. San

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Pride is deceitful likeness of great
ness.
Debt is an inexhaustible fountain of
dishonesty.
A little thing consoles us because little
things affect US.
Amongst true friends there is no fear
of losing anything.
Example is the school of mankind,
and they will learn at no other.
To live without working is TO check
in ones self the well-spring of life.
To perseverc in ones duty and be
silent is the best answer to calumny.
The most certain means not to lose
the good that one does is to forget it.
Little minds are hurt by little things;
great minds see them all, and are not
hurt.
The pain of living without pleasure is
we'll worth the pleasure Of dying with
out pain.
Piety ought to be lovable, because it
ought to be virtue adorned, and there
is nothing so lovely as virtue.
We are exact in counting the tribula-
tions which af1ict US; are we equally so
in counting the sins which drew them
upon us9
Talkativeuess has another plague at
tached to it, even curiosity; for pratcrs
wish to hear much that they may have
much to say.
The knowledge of ones defects is all
the more beautiful, inasmuch as it is not
only the most necessary of all sciences,
but also the most rare.
Ill-humor arises from an inward con.
sciousness of our own want of merit,
from discomfort which ever accompanies
that envy which foolish vanity engeuders.
Never to tire, never to grow cold; to
be patient, sympathetic, tender; to look
for the budding flower and the opening
heart; to hope always; to love always
this is duty.

WOMEN FOR CONDUCTORS,

, The conductors on the new Columbian
coaches, which are soon to be running
in Chicago, are to be women. "That, :"
gays the Tribune of that city, ''means o
revolution in street.car etiquette. The
sex, which has long suffered from mans
1udeness and domineering ways, which
has invariably been compelled to ride a
whole block beyond its destination be-
cause of mans inattentiveness, which has
never been allowed an opportunity to get
on or off street car without unbecoming
haste, which has endured-not in silence
always-untold imposition from heartless,
shameless, impolite, mean, contemplate,
despicable persons whose tyranny is
legalized by their uniform and bell
punch, will now have a chance to get
even. Women, pretty young women,
with tight-6tting braided jackets and
jaunty little caps, could not be rude
under any circumstances"

GRAPE GROWING FOR WOMEN.

So much of the work of trimming,
pruning and harvesting the grape is
easily done by women and children, it
is surprising that the management of
vineyards by women is not more general
than it is. The gains from this pursuit
are also, if it is properly managed,
greater than in any other where such
pleasant employment is provided. Bear
ing vineyards can be bought at figures
where even low prices for fruit will not
prevent a good return on the investment.
Or if other means of earning living
can be provided, land may be purchased
and planted with young vines, that will
need little more care than field of corn
until they come into bearing. In all the
>grape-g growing regions, much of the work
in vineyards is done by women and chill
dren, and those engaged in such work are
always delighted with it.-Boston Culti-

THE COMING WOMAN.
'sWhat will the coming woman do
To plague, perplex and interfere with US?
Will she forbid the festive chew
And cuspidore for ages dear with US?
viii she invade with uplifted nose,
Retreats where female foot neer went TILL

And force reluctant man to ventilate"

played
Haunts where SO oft our reason strayed-
To conversation teas be given up?
Must we, then, all 60 home to dine?
And must friend in soda pledge his

How shall the coming man get wine
At all, if she's allowed to legislate"
Brother, the case looks queer.

The soft-soap rainbow sphere we kept her
Burst and vanished, and left her here

Down to the precepts, much too tame,
We've preached to her for pure morality?'
Brother. the worst l fear.
"Friend Of my youth, can no more,
Ofiy with me this land iniquitous.

And lost from earth the white male cltl-

CURIOS.

Quite number of friends and adj
mirers of Rev. DR.. Hammond called
by invitation at his rooms in the Fort
Street House yesterday evening. The
guests present were delightfully."- en-
tertained by the reverend gentleman
and his wife. Dir. Hammond has
many trunks of specimens, which
he has obtained from different cor
ners of the earth. Among the guests
present were Rev Mr. Bingham and
wife, DR.. N. B. Emerson and Rev.
O. Z. Emerson.
The BULLETIN reporter was almost
crushed when Professor Scott, of
the Fort-street school, quietly arose
and presented him with a leg of his
alleged ancestor, according to evou-
ton. The bone, however, proved to
be only widow of the "Darwinlan
Theory" and was, therefore, laid up
on the table.
DR.. Emerson offered several scien-
tific explanations of the different oh.
jects brought before the guests pres
ent and aided DR.. Hammond materi-
ally in entertaining those present.
