MEMORIES OF WEBSTER AT THE

1t was great day for Capt. Isaac Bassett
the veteran assistant doorkeeper of the Sen
ate. Sixty three years ago, on the 9TH Of
December, 1881 he was appointed page
by Daniel Webster. To him therefore.
the services on that anniversary had more
than usual interest. During the day he
recalled some instances of the great orator
and statesman, but AS he is writing book
he is very chary with his stories.
Capt. Z. 7. Matthews, the efficient
clerk of the naval committee and Senator
McPherson's private secretary, also re.
members Webster He heard the Grafton
which Webster delivered at the LAYING of
the corner stone of the Capitol extension
and he recollects also hearing Webster
speak one night from the steps of the
latters residence, on Louisiana avenue.

Dility in their own hands for the decision
of the question whether they will or will
not choose to exercise the elective franchise
1t will come to he understood that if men
alone do the voting, it will be for the sole
reason that women prefer to have it So
1t will also be understood that men are
voting in the capacity OF those who do an
A., errand or exercise a minor trust on good
behavior. Whether the movement for
women suffrage is gaining or losing, is
difficult to judge. The lower house of the
Newl DIRK legislature has this season passed
IA bill authorizing the submission to tho
voters Of an amendment striking the word"
ina e out OF the constitution of the state;
but it is not considered probable that the
amendment will actually reach the stage
of submission. The Massachusetts legis-
Iature, on the other hand, has by large
majority refused to admit women to the
municipal suffrage. The lower house of
the Maine legislature, however, has given
IA good majority in favor of this same pro-
position. Review of Reviews.
