Last Saturday afternoon our Richmond
correspondent informed the feauers or
the Public Ledger that Mr.. Pr'ddy mad
introduced a measure ln the LEGISLATURE
for the purpose as stated in the Dill OF
preserving order at the polls. when aims
TO give unusual powers 90 judges or eiec-
ton. As soon as we read the dispatch,
and before it appeared IN the Columns
or our paper. We concluded that this was
another attempt TO grasp power lof the
electoral machinery in the state ana we
observe that Judge Buf0rd, OF the House
or Delegates, is Of the same opiiiloh' az

implies" We Will x a step further and
say that If this unwise and unnecessary
proposition should be enacted into a law
its effect would be TO incite riots rather
than to preserve order.
Where, in all the broad limits OF the
Commonwealth, has there been a demand
for such a law? Are not the judges pos
sessed Of the same power now mat they
have enjoyed for the past twenty-four
years in the matter of securing peace at
the polls? And do judges now need great
er power than they exercised when me
State had just emerged from reconstruc-
ton or when the exciting campaigns were
conducted that ended with the overthrow
Of Malone?

cratic party has not in the past had

In Canada perhaps 10000 women
wear trousers during the winter-of
course with the skirt. In this country
the popularity of the masculine gar
ment is growing with remarkable ra
pidity. The trousers are now and
have been for years in use for horse
back riding. The fencing costumes,
also trousers, are worn without the
skirt, and in the gymnasiums Of the
fashionable boarding schools for la
dies trousers are worn exclusively and
with excellent effect and comfort. In
Europe for the past two ears Turkish
trousers have been worn by fashion
able women for climbing the noun
tains. The same are worn in the
Scotch highlands by English women.
The bathing dress shows marked
signs Of following the general move
ment. At the French resorts the
most fashionable ladies appear with

knee trousers, leaving the skirts off

A Strange Discovery In Africa.

Unlocked for things have been found
in unlikely places, but there has proba-
bly, been no discovery more remarkable
than that Of Balzac's dressing gown in
the possession of the king of Dahomey
Monarchs are rarely literary, and his
dusky majesty, one would think, was
the very last of them to have set much
value upon the personal relic of novel
list, however distinguished. Nevertheless
the French found it in the royal apart
ment at Abomey. There were some in
genious theories founded upon this cir
cumstance. One Of the amazons, it was
thought, might have been a novel read
er and had sent to Paris to secure the
interesting memento and on the affair

eign had fastened to say she had pur-
chased it for his own shoulders, for in
deed he always wore it upon state occa-
siOns. 1t was not a dressing gown such
as literary persons in this country are
wont to wear of second class flannel
worn at the edges-but of purple velvet
embroidered with gold AS a matter of
fact, it had been given to Balzac by
some of his admirers, and after his
death had been bought by dealer in
curiosities, who had placed it, with 9TH

market. 1t is sad to think how plain

WOMAN'S KINGDOM.

Every woman who takes conscience
for her guide has a right to feel that
home is peculiarly woman's kingdom,
knowing that all love, all pure tho'ts,
all religion and governments, if one
would have them flourish, must have
their roots beneath it's altar. Let no
wife who would be loved, honored and
happy, forget that home duties must
ever stand first. No matter what
high, ambitious aspirations may have
impressed her before marriage, or
how high she may be conscious her
talents and influences are capable of
reaching, when the solemn vow is
taken that makes the twain one-for
"better or worse''-before all else she
must give all the energy and love she
possesses to building a perfect home,
and she must never lose sight of this
high vocation. She must be it's mis-
tress, but never it's slave. That she
has made it immaculate in cleanliness
and Respondent in beauty is not
enough. She must feed the love and
truth which should unitedly govern
it. What power or dignity can reach
higher? What is the ability to sway
large audiences compared with the
ability to preside over a home with
such skill that husband and children
shall rise up and call her blessed? To
be the ruling spirit in such position is
more sacred honor than to rule an
empire. "Woman's rights!" Has
man any higher or more noble? And
when husband and wife see eye to
eye and heart to heart, one in the in
terests of home, they have reached IS
near perfection as we are allowed to
hope for while on earth.
