The Progress of Suffrage.

"HOw little we dreamed, y said Henry B. Blackwell, in an address on the prog ress of suffrage, "when the first suffrage convention was held ill New England in 1868 that quarter of a century would elapse before a single New England state would recognize the political equal ity of her sons and daughters, and that a majority of all the brave ancestors of the cause would have passed away be- fore this reform would have been accom- plished. Since then the colleges, the pro- fessions and the industries of New Eng land have been opened to women. In New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachu- setts and Connecticut we have secured for women the right to vote in school elections. In 1870, when our association made a camraign in Vermont, eloquent speeches were made by Lloyd Garrison, Lucy Stone, Julia Ward Howe and Mary A. LivermOre, yet we obtained only two votes in the following constitutional con CentiOn.
 "Since then we have secured majori- ties in the popular branches of the legis- laturcs of Vermont, Rhode Island, Maine and Massachusetts. Our ranks have been thinned by death. but we have never had deserter. Our comrades have fad cd from sight, but we are here with our children and our children's children, without wound ill our faith, without ! break in our hope, and stronger than when we began.

OgniZcd our former princess royal from the portraits of her usually seen in Lon don, for sho looked so much younger than they represent her. No sooner did she begin to converse than I was struck by certain likeness to tho Prince of Wales, especially about the eyes, when shc smiled. Tho empress manner is charming. One instantly feels at ease ill her presence, and her keen appreciation and quick understanding of all that she hears are instantly apparent ill the va rying and sympathetic tones of her pleasant voice.
 At the termination of my interview I Was permitted to sec something of the castle before I left. The finely propor- toned dining room particularly impress rd me with its splendid mantelpiece, over which was a bust of tho late em- pcror, and tho music gallery at the end uf the room. The table happened to be laid ready for the luncheon, and had timc to notice that its decorations- chiefly masses of roses in silver bowls looked exquisite. Thence I was taken into largo apartment, ill which were glass cases all round the walls, filled with every kind of antique object of art ill metal, wood, ivory and china, such as one sees at South Kensington.
 The great drawing room pleased me immenscly-lightcd by lofty windows overlooking tho terrace. Green tapestry covered the walls. The furniture was supcrb-chlirS, sofas, tables, etc., of, think, the Louis XIV period, being ar ranged i'll groups, all i'll strict harmony with the architecture of the salon, while the fine center carpet of q predominant rcd color set off tho upholstery to per lection. 1 simply walked through the spacious library, but could have spent a week there ill closely examining pie lures, medals, coins, rare cngravingS and her majesty's selected collection of well read books. I was then allowed just to peep into the private rooms up stairs-tho guest chambers-where saw that no two chairs seemed to be exactly the same, either ill shape or color. Her imperial majesty's boudoir and bedroom cn suite looked south and commanded lovely views of tho distant mountains.
 In the nursery garden had just time to glance at the hothouses, where a fine display of bcgonias and roses delighted mo, and special house where most tempting looking peaches were flourish ing. James Budget.

Miss Emily Faithful.

The death of Miss Emily Faithful is a serious loss to the world at large, as well as to the world of women workers, of which she was so earnest and success ful a member. Not the least striking of her characteristics was her versatility. She was philanthropist, journalist, au- thor, lecturer and thinker, and all with equal success. Her especial philanthropy ic interest was the extension of the field of labor for women. In 1860 she set up printing establishment, in which all the compositors were women. Three years later she began the publication of a monthly organ called The Victoria Magazine, in which she set forth the claims of women to remunerative em- ployment. This journal enjoyed an IS years existence, during which time its columns were chiefly filled with produc- tions from the pen of its founder and editor.
 Miss Faithfulls first essay in fiction w;ls novel entitled "Change Upon Change" which met with immediate favor. She next returned to the lecture field, appearing ill the leading literary and philanthropic institutions in Eng land, and later, in 1872, in America After her third tour ill the United States, 1SS2-3, she published book en- titled 'Three Visits to America, which dealt particularly with the condition of woman and woman's work on this side of the Atlantic. Miss Faithful was Q constant contributor to various period icals Her likeness shows her to have been not beautiful, but her features pos sessed the same strong and noble char acteristics that marked her souL-Ex- change.

Hero is somewhat now story of the Niagara falls hackman:
 Two tourists, a lady and a gentleman, stopped off at the falls between trains. A hacknan engaged them for brief tour of sightseeing The time actually consumed was 55 minutes. The hackman said he must have $1O. The gentleman remarked that it was an outrage. The driver explained that he had been of great assistance in pointing out the places of interest and stood firm. The gentleman prepared to pay under pro- test.
 Unfortunately for himself, he handed the man a $2O bill.
 "Do you pay fer tho lady also?" asked tho hackman promptly.
 "Do pay for the lady?" repeated his fare in astonishment. "Of course do. What do you mcan:"
 "Then there will be no change" re- piled the hackman. My charge of $10 is for one person, SEQ for two persons. The amount you have handed me is ex- actly correct. Thank you, sir. "-Buffa- To Express.

1t is Not Considered Probable That the
President VIII Call One.
WASHINGTON, Feb 22-Members of
the house who are supposed to know
something of the purpose of President
Cleveland, do not credit the reports that
he has any definite intention to call an
extra session of congress. They do not
claim TO know what the intentions of the
president may be, but they argue from
circumstances that an extra session is i'm
probable.
The outflow of gold from the treasury
has ceased for the time and these mem
bers believe, rehecting perhaps the cur
rent opinion in administration circles
that the recent bond issue will tide the
perhaps put the treasury on its feet, so
to speak, if the prediction of Secretary
Carlisle that the receipts are to meet ex-
pendltures, be fultllled.
Much capital has been made of a re-
mark which the president made yester-
day to a party of members elect, who
called upon him, asking them how they
would like to be called to Washington on
the 18th of March.
The general opinion is that Mr.. Cleve-
land was merely joking, or that if he had
any design in the question it was diplo-
matte one
They surmise that President Cleveland
does not desire special session of the
Fifty-fourth congress, aud that he might
have intended to spur congress to furnish
all its necessary work by limiting that he
would not hesitate to call the next con-
gress together if there was need.

them to stop work.
A special meeting of the electrical

on several jobs, were received AS the
contractors had refused to accede to
their demands.
