New York, Dec. 3O.-A Herald spe-
cial from Washington says that Saliva
dor is threatened with another revolu-
ton. To protect American interests
the navy department, upon the request
of the state department, has wired or
ders to the gunboat Marietta, which is
at Mare Island, directing her TO pro-
ceed as soon as possible to La Libertad
and remain until further orders. The
Importance OF this action will be appre-
ciated when it is understood that the
Marietta was being fitted for service IN
Chinese waters.
The information upon which the state
department acted came from John Jen-
kins, consul at San Salvador, who

Color of the Eyes.

1t Is not generally known that the
eyes of infants are always blue, and
that they do not begin to assume their
permanent color until the sixth or
eighth week. There is, therefore,
truth as well as poetry in the state
ment that babies look about them in
"blue-eyed wonder" The wonder
may be left to poets and philosophers,
but the blue is always a practical fact.
It is not uncommon to see different
colors in the eyes of the same person,
and even in the same eye half of the
iris is sometimes brown and the other
half blue. There is a popular notion
that dark eyes are stronger than light
ones. There is no truth in this except
so far as they are better protected
against excessive light. Hence light
eyes prevail among northern nations
and dark eyes among the races who
live in the glare of a tropical sum-

SUFFRAGE FOR WOMEN.
The First American Woman 20 Take
Stand for the Rights
of Her Sex.

When, on the oath of June, the
assembly of 1s47-s was in session,
doubtless occupied with discussing the
affairs of the province, their rights as
freemen, etc, they were startled by
the appearance of Mistress Margaret
Brent upon the scene, who demanded
both voice and vote for herself in the
assembly by virtue of her position as
Gov Calyert's attorney. Alas for Mis-
tress Brent and her appreciation of
the rights of her sexl The governor
promptly and ungallantly refused her.
The injured lady, as her only means of
retaliation, protested against all the
acts of the session as invalid, unless
her vote was received as well as the
votes of the male members.
BY this action Margaret Brent un-
doubtedly placed herself on record as
the first woman in America to make
stand for the rights of her sex. 1t is
surprising to find how little this fact
is known. In so comprehensive and
authoritative a work as the history of
woman's suffrage edited by Susan
B. Anthony no mention is made of this
extraordinary woman. In fact, it is
there stated that a revolutionary
dame, Mrs. Abigail Smith Adams, wife
of John Adams, of Massachusetts,, was
the first champion of woman's rights
in America. In March, 1776, Mistress
Adams wrote to her husband. then at
the continental congress in Phila-
delphia; 81 long to hear that you have
declared for independency, but de-
sire that you should remember the
ladies. If particular care is not
paid the ladies we will not hold
ourselves bound to obey laws in which
we have no voice or representation"
We are not told how John Adams re-
piled to this epistle from his fair
spouse, but we do know that in the
famous Declaration of Independence,
where ell men are declared free and
equal, the women received no more
consideration than did Margaret
Brent nearly one hundred and fifty
, years before. - Caroline Sherman
Bansemer, in Harper's Magazine.
