Mrs. Mary Seymour Howell, who is
far from well, made an eloquent speech
at the recent county convention of suf-
frage clubs held at Dansviile, N. Y
The Dansville Advertiser says: Mrs.
Howell's address could not have been
more earnest, more eloquent, more pen
etrating and convincing had it been her
farewell talk on earth, and it seemed to
have something of that impressive quail
ity. Her hearers can never forget it, nor
cease to be influenced by it, for her
whole strength, body and soul, seemed
to plead for justice to women. "

Mosaic Age Highly Literary.

AT first the Tel el.Amarna tablets
wore declared to be forgeries and Renan
gave expression TO the "critical" ekep-
ticism on the subject in bis an
nual address on oriental discovery, says
the Contemporary Review. Very soon,
however, the most stout.hearted cham
pion of illiteracy of the ancient East
was Obliged to yiold, and the "critics''
we're forced to admit that on this
point, at all erentF, they had boon in
the wrong. But it was with bad grace
that the admission was made, for ii did
not require much penetration to SEQ
that the discovery deprived them of
what may term their base OF opera
tions. just as VOLTS skepticism in re-
gard to the age and authorship of
Homer rested on his bclief in the late
date OF the use OF writing for literary
purposes in Greece, so the really strong
argument of the "critics'' against the
Musaic age and authorship of tho PEN
tateuch was that Mother Moses nor his
contemporaries could read or write.
The Tel el-Amarna tablets have come
to upset this supposed fast and TO show
that the Mosaic age was highly liter-
airy one. 1t is amusing to watch the
undisguised reluctance with which the
"critics" have swallowed tho unpalata.
BILE fact that, after all. Moses could
have written the lsraelitsh law.

Discussing water Works.

SpecfalCorrespondenc Of GAzettea and Journal
Delaware City, March II. Shall we
have water plant? Public interest
in the struggle over this proposition
is growing fast. At town meeting
held recently, and attended by a large
number OF citizens. ii was decided to
make contract for the erection Of
suitable water works, the town to have
the use of u hydrants or plugs, for fire
protection. for the sum of 500 per
annum, and on these lines a bill was
carefully prepared by the towns at
torney, to be submitted TO the Legis.
lature for its sanction. This bill was
held up at Dover until a substitute
bill, prepared by another faction, could
be presented to the comm ttee, which
provided that the town should first paw
an additional $500 per annum Oh the
bonded debt. which could not be done
under the present tax levy, and to pasa
this meant raise 10 tho local tax rate,
to which all property ownera are op.
posed. A third faction says: "Weii,
what do we want with water any way
we have the canal to drinis out OF and
the river to wash in, what more does
anyone wantg" Our Representative
appears to have pigeon. bolsd the togr
commissioners bill, notwithstanding
it was backed by petition containing
the names Of large number of the
| most influential citizens.

And busy Commerce comes and goes,
Where once the grass grew green and

The Worlds fierce pulses beat.

The passageway of great emprise!
Yet from its dust what voices cry
Voices of soft green growing things
Trampied and torn from earth which cling.
Too closely. unperceiying why
Its darling bairns must die
Ny hearts highway, trodden down
BY many traveller of renown--

And strong Achievements envoy fires.

Along the road that Woodward leads
Once rank with foolish weeds.
