THE NEW WOMAN.

They have learned to spend our dollars
And to wear our standing collars,
And in our coats and vests they rule the
house;
They have learned 10 ride our cycle,
Save their ear fare, just a nickel.
But they have NOT learned to boldly face
mouse.
They will scream wiener they hear Il.
And you cannot get them near it,
Though you put il in trap to make it

And though the bloomer presses,
Round the form which once wore dresses.
This proves they still are women just the

DAVIS AND GRANT.

There is an interesting article in the
Memphis Commercial Appeal, Sept l,
relative to the relationship Of Jeffer-
son Davis and Ulysses S. Grant, two
names that illuminate the pages OF
American history. Descended from
William Simpson, who immigrated
from the north of ireland and settled
in Bucks County, Pa, family records
and letters prove that the two illustri
Gus warriors and statesmen were sec
ond cousins.
Both sprang from obscure origin,
yet the sterling qualities, the staunch
integrity, and high principles Of truth
combined with courageous independ.
ence which characterized their ances-
tors, might have been envied by many
scion OF noble or royal family.
In Jefferson Davis, the beloved
though vanquished Chief*ian of the
Confederate States,' and in General
Ulysses Grant, the victorious idol of
the North, the same great and good
traits were inherent, coming down
through three generations from their
common ancestor. 1t is said by those
who were intimate with them, that the
two were alike in some respects. Both
kind and gentle in their homelife and
personal department.
Mr.. Davis surprised the army officers
who guarded him while a prisoner at
Fortress Monroe, by his amiability and
atfable manners, as they expected to
find tire-eating ''secesh' but in
stead-''found calm gentleman of the
greatest fortitude in the face of the
greatest calamity that ever befell an
American citizen" J

A Real Mean Woman 10 Meaner Than
the Devil.

1t is getting to be a common thing
to read of cruel and most heartless
murders committed bv women. When
woman is mean, when she starts out
on career OF crime, the most subtle
cruelty and cunning vice Of the black
est hearted man is as gentleness and
kindness to the heart Of that woman.
When she throws her wOmanhood In
the same arena with vicious, bad men
every fine feeling natural to woman is
deadened, or crushed out, and she Is
equal to any atrocity prompted by
cruelty and is deaf to all pleadings OF
mercy. Any woman who is unmerci-
full to helpless child, especially when
that child is dependent upon her for
love and protection, is so devoid OF
heart, is so base and mean that the
very devils in the Internal regions turn
from her in loathing. The individual
in Birmingham, Ala, who killed her
little step-child, a boy three years old,
is recent addition to the ever in
creasing list of women who take hu-
man life. First she beat the child
pitilessly, then jabbed a stick down his
throat-fnishing up her frightful
work by choking him until life was
extinct.
Becoming aware OF the danger to
her own precious life, she tried in vain
to resuscitate the boy. Her husband
reported the case to the authorities
whereupon the alleged murderess was
arrested before she left the cemetery
at the time of the child's funeral. She
had tried to deceive the father by say
ing the boy who had been sick, fell and
killed himself.
Another case in view, is the old
end,-Nobles, of Georgia, and her ne
gro accomplice, who were sentenced
20 hang one day last month, but res
bite was given them. Letters came
rom every State in the Union to the
Governor of Georgia, begging clemen-
y for the wicked old thing, but par
icularly from Northern States. She
nd a negro man murdered her hus.
'and. There was much Indignation In
Georgia, expressed by the people who
lid not approve of the Governors
curse in not letting the law be car
led out and the sentence executed.
t is mere sentimentality to let a mur-
eress off from the ''extreme penalty Of
he law" simply on account of her sex.

mr.. ED WALL,


The SENTINEL, as is we'll known, is
not swayed by n false sentiment in
matters Of public concern, but always
believes in favor to no person who de-
serves any sort Of punishment. But
when a case arises in which we be-
lieve the ends ana purposes Of justice
have been met and where there are
special considerations, really merito.
rious, which appeal for mercy and
clemency, then we believe that prop
er feeling of humanity should control.
We have during this year had occa-
sion to visit Jackson frequently, and
while there have seen Mr.. w. E. Wall,
(better known as Ed Wall) at the peni-
tent;ary. We have had conversations
with him and believe that he is truly
penitent and fully punished man, and
that if relieved now, that the proba-
bilities are that he would lead good
life and honestly try to redeem his
past. 1t will be remembered that
when he was brought before the bar of
justice before he was finally tried, that
he confessed his guilt, and told the
truth about the transaction in which
he was involved. The readers of the
SENTINEL will doubtless recall his pa
thetic and touching letter of acknowl.
edgment published at the time.
Not long since the junior editor of the
SENTINEL was on the cars enroute to
Natchez and saw Mr.. Ed Wall then
being transported to a farm. He wrote
us letter addressed to the people of
Grenada county, pleading for mercy,
and the expressions in it would have
touched a heart of stone. We intend
ed to publish it, but it has accidentally
been mislaid. This letter was earnest
and sincere in tone, and would have
appealed to the sympathies of every
one. 1t confirmed US in the opinion
that he is a penitent and sufficiently
punished man, ard that he is "a proper
case for executive clemency.
There is no wisdom, no humanity
Ind no christianity in undue punish
nent, and he has already served out

The Populite party must have gone
down to lower standard than its nat
ural position, in Ohio, when it selects
J. S. Coxey, the general of the ''raga-
muffin" brigade of last summer, as
their nominee for Governor. What a
state Of politics in this grand old Re
public. That such a party as the Pop
ulite should exist at all is enough to
show that men can be led off the right
track by novelty more than by sound
sense and principle, for of the latter
qualities the Pop party does not ex-
hibit superfluous amount. In this
portion of the country the Pops trot
out their best horses every now and
then, who prance around and cavort,
to the amusement of all except their
hackers, who whoop EN- up the best
they can, but will find them far behind
in the political race when the home
stretch is made. We have always had
a great respect for Ohio, but when
Coxey is the best that even the Popu-
lites can do for leader in that State,
we feel like offering our sympathies.
