Tutel1eotuality in Haokensaok.

H~ackensack has just decided a most
m-ornentuus question, though not alto
gether satisfactorily to Hackensack her
self, it must be confessed. The village
debating society last night, after a brill
liant display of oratorical py~rotechnics,
settled, in the negative, the question:
Resolved, That woman is the intellec-
tual equal of man."
That is to say, the referee decided the
debate in this way, but his decision was
met with such a storm of indignation that
he besought the meeting to settle the
matter to suit itself. A vote was accord
fngly taken, and this resulted in a tie,
whereupon the referee cast the deciding
vote again in the negative, and the agony
became more intense thar ever; for, while
the vote, as recorded, officially settles
the matter for all time in Ha~ckensack,
about one-half of the inhabitants Of the
classic village do not by any means ac-
cept the conclusion and they mean to
demonstrate in practical life that it is
not true-so there!
The opponents of the decision declare
that not only is the decision wrong on
