The great George would open his eyes

list OF those who todsy declare them

there are several families of Smiths in
Vermont who also claim descent from

Another thing which would greatly A.

In ali parts Of the land. even including the

tory shows, has no less than forty-two

the other families 1t the national capital
bearing the name of Washington. the di-

Itwouid be patent absurdisy to assume
that half or even one-quarter Of this great
army Of Washingtons have any trace Of
the generals blood in their veins. II il
known on the other hand that the Wash
ington family was aud has remained in
the highest degree prolific. and in the
course OF century its descendants may
have doubled and quadrupled many times.
Only consider what promising start was
made. From Washington's sister Betty
alone were born six children, one Of whom,
also named Betty. bore sixteen children to
her husband, Charles Carter. As there
was issue from the other five Of Betty 3
children il 10 plain that this single
branch in the course OF hum
dred years may well have pro-
duced scores of families all over
the country. Washington had also
three brothers. Samuel, John Augustine
and Charles. and two half-brothers, Law
renee and Augustine. These all left issue.
Besides this, Washington had on his
fathers side an Uncle John. who left four
children. and an Aunt Mildred, who mar
ried twice. and from whom many Virginia
families. like the Thornton's and the
Wiilises. trace their ancestry. On his
mothers side four great aunts, half sis
ters of Washington's grandmother. left
children. from whom come number of
Western families. including the Carne-
gies. the Travers. the Conways and the

OUR newspaper friends who have

that life is still worth living.
JOHN M. ATHERToN, the big

will be candidate for the United

But Hon. w. G. p. Breckenridge
should be the man, if he wants it.
If not, judge VIM. Lindsay or
some other good man should have
it.
The probable acceptance of the
Treasury portfolio by Senator John

fact that but three Kentuckians
have heretofore been SO honored.
They were George M. Bib, under
President Tyler, James Guthrie,
under Pierce, and Gen. Bristow,

rHE WOMEN sIIFFRAGISrS.

The annual meeting of the Vermont
Woman's Suffrage association, in sessi on
at Hardwick last week, adopted the fol-
lowing resolutions before adjournment:
Whereas, We, the Vermont Woman's
Suffrage association, in convention as
sembled, recognize God as our leader
and accept the rinciples taught in the
Sermon on the Mount as our creed;
and
Whereas, Governments derive their
Just powers from the consent of the
governed, and women are governed;
taxation without representation is tyran-
ny, and women are taxed; therefore,
Resolved, That we deplore the present
subordinate condition of women in
church and state as a wicked injustice
to womanhood and an unwarrantable
usurpation altogether unworthy of the
civilization of the 10th century.
Whereas, Woman now have full sur
frage in the state of Wyoming, munich
pal suffrage in Kansas and Michigan, and
unmarried women and widows have
municipal suffrage in England and Scot
land and many Of the British provinces,
and school suffrage in II states and ter
ritOries; therefore,
Resolved, That in this progress the
cause has already made we recognize
the leading hand of Providence; and in

Resolved, That we do hereby present
congratulations to the Woman's Suffrage
association of Michigan on having Sc
cured from their legislature a law ex-
tending full municipal suffrage to wom-
en-, and for the generous vote given the
bill by the legislature.
Resolved, That we hereby tender our
sincere thanks and high appreciation to
the members of both houses of the Yer
mont legislature of 1872, who favored and
voted for the bill granting municipal
suffrage to women.
Resolved, That as an organization and
individually we will use our influence to
elect men for our next legislature who
are favorable to equal suffrage, and we
do heartily indorse the enrolment
plan" and recommend vigorous prose-
cution of this work in our own state.

which was so poor, to use classic ex-
preston, that you couldn't raise an UNI
brela on it, when all at once some en-
terprising people from the outside world
struck a great vein of coal on it, and the
old fellow was rich man for that coun-
try, in no time, The outsiders could not
get hold of the farm, so they proposed
a compromise by organizing syndicate
with the old man as one of the heaviest
owners in it.
