THE POLITICAL WOMAN.
She Is At Home In Australia, Where
She May Vote and Hold Office
Philadelphia Ledger.

Australia is the most experimental
Of all countries and is the proving
ground for all the advanced ideas re-
Specting the arbitration of labor dis
putes. state ownership Of control Of
public utilities and the ballot Wheth-
er these experiments succeed or fail
IN practice, Australia is doing the

the current number Of the "Nine-
teenth Century and After" by Mel
bourne woman, on The Political
Woman in Australia" presents an in
teresting resume Of the progress
made in the political emancipation
OF woman under the most favorable
circumstances.
The writer rejoices in the fact that
the country has granted her sex alb
solute political equality with men,
and has thereby reached a position
unique in the worlds history The
Australian constitution is peculiar in
that it has no sex limitations. The
women enjoy the right to vote equal
ly with men, may become members
of the legislature and hold other Of
fees 1t required about twenty
years to persuade the Australian wo-
man to ask for the franchise; but it
finally became their possession, and
had marked influence upon the re-
cent federal elections: when the wo-
men voted in as large numbers pro-
portionately as the men in most OF
the constituencies.
The writer notes that he women.
as a rule, voted for the candidates
who stood for economy in public ex-
penditures and for careful national
housekeeping. To the assertion COM
monty heard wherever woman suf-
frage is urged, that women will vote
as the men desire, the writer replies
that the elections showed that the
women, on the whole. voted with in
dependence: at any rate. that they
did not vote a straight or ma
chine" ticket as faithfully as the
men did.
Voting means responsibility, re-
sponsibility means power. and power
commands respect" is her epigram-
matte answer to the charge that by
the extension OF the franchise to wo-
man she will lose the "chivalrous at
tention" of the men, She says that
the very candidates who had pre-
viously held that women would lose
the respect Of men by voting were
the most assiduous in courtlng the
wonren's vote. The Sir Walter
Rale1ghs and De Lorges are chick as
leaves in Vallombrosa at election
time"
The writer herself was candidate
for the senate of Victoria and was de-
feated, but there were eighteen cam
didates in the field, and she finds en-
couragement in the returns, which
gave her 5I,4o7 votes, when 85,3o7
were sufficient to elect. She regards
her vote as great triumph, obtained
&c in spite of the opposition of pow
erful daily papers and the prejudice
that a pioneer always encounters
! She thinks that full enfranchisement
for women in England must come by
the action of the labor party, through
which woman suffrage has been made
a question OF practical politics in Aus
tralia, instead Of remaining, as IN
other countries, "the suffrage states
in America excepted a purely acad-
ernic question.

Teacher has told me that I might write
a composition and so | am writin about
the otion. for ! want to be a sailor some
day an | think that the otion Is much bet
ter than dry land
The otion is a big hole in the earth
which is three times as big as MaSser-
iusits, which Is the land. II Is filed with
water the whole year, an is the wcttcst
place known. The desert of Sarah is the
dricst place known. The otion was made
by God an Noah long time ago. Years
an years before George Washington cut
down the cherry tree with his Ratchet.
When Noah was a young man. the folks
got awful wicked. The men swore an
smoked ana chawed tobackcr the boys
stole apples and pcggcd Stuns at things
an the gurls tattled and run their tongues
out sassy which amt nice, an God said
he wouldn't stand it any longer an he
would make it rain and rain an wash
away all their sins So he told Noah to
make a ark as big as four barns an put
lots of good things to eat i'm it, So Noah
and his sons went to huildin it. His sons
was Ham and Sham and Jacht. l think
Noah ought to be ashamed Of giving his
boys such mean names | know that the
fcllers would call Ham pig, and keep
a pinchin him and askn If he was good to
eat Sham's name is just as bad, for that
means a Teller that amt honest JacNt
is the best, for then the fellers could call
him Jack.
Wen. Noah and the boys cut down lots
of elm an maple and apple trees an built
the ark | guess that Noah let the boys
90 fishin Saturdays an worked on 1t alone.
1t took him morn a hundred years to build
it and the boys gut to be much as two
hundred. 1t seems awful queer to call
Teller boy when he is two hundred.
When the ark wuZ all done God told
all the animals to go i'm and they went
in two at a time, sept few bears, an
Noah caught them in a trap. They
didn't quarrel at all. nor the dog chase
| the cat. or the cat ketch the birds. When
they had all gut in Noah shut down the
cover of the ark and blew the whistle an
said. let her go smith.
Then God set all the mill ponds and
rivers an brooks in heaven to running
| down on to the earth and the folks gut
scat and run into the houses an put down
the curtins But it kept a rainin harder
| and gut up to the caves an the folks
went up stairs but it warn't no use, for
| they wuz all drowned an there warn't
| nothn left but foatin hen coops an pig
| pens and umbrelars that the folks had
put up. But Noah an the boys had fine
times in the ark. but some of the animals
| gut awful lonesome on the ark an the
/ polar bear wouldn't eat nothin for long
| time There warn't nothing cold enough

Prof Edgar j. Banks, a native of Wood
bury, VT, and former resident of Green
field, Mass, whose Eastern archaeological
discoveries have brought him prominence
in the educational world, has made what
is believed to be the most notable dis
covery of recent years. The Chicago
university eXcavating expedition, of
which he is the head. has dug up i'm Baby
lonia, the ruins of Udnunki, the world 5
oldest city. The news was received re-
Gently at Chicago by Prof. Robert +. Har-
per, former director of the expedition.
A cablegram from Prof. Banks stated that
he uncovered the ruins of Udnunki which
has been searched for many years by
learned Orentalists, Its existence was
learned from translation of the code of
Hammurabi an early Babylonian king.
DIR. Banks informed Prof. Harper that
he had found bricks bearing the syllables
Ud-Nun-Ki at the lowest level of the
ruins. He Is certain that these bricks
identify the city of Adai. With a force
of 120 men he eXcaVated the ruins, and
found the remains of four temples, built
one above the other, which he named ac'
cording to the kings VINO built them, The
dates became earlier until the bricks
identifying Udnunki were found, Among
other articles which Dr. Banks found are
marble statues, onyx and sandstone
lamps and many bronze objects.

THE AUGUSTA BRIDGE, UTAH.
Greatest Natural Stone Arch Known, Re-
Gently Discovered

An article i'm the Century magazine for
August describes "The Colossal Bridges
Of Utah," recently discovered wonders of
Nature in the shape of arches over "a can
yon, of far greater height and span than
any other such natural bridges i'm the
world hitherto known. These are brought
to public attention through the interest of
a mining prospector, Horace j. Long, in
the tales told him by cattlcman named
Scorup. who had ranged cattle toward
the Colorado border of Utah i'm the angle
between the san Juan river and the
Colorado So he with Scorup visited the
White canyon and took photographs Of
the great bridges, and W. w. Dyar has
written the descriptive text now pub
lishcd in the Century. These bridges are
three. The largest of them, called the
Augusta, was named 10y Mr. Long in hon
or Of his wife. and as Mr.. Dyar says lit
is fortunate that the lady was so appro-
priately christencd":-
Here across a canyon measuring 335
feet seven inches from wall to wall, Ma
ture has thrown a splendid arch of solid
sandstone, 60 feet thick in the central
part and 10 feet wide. having underneath
it a clear opening 357 feet in perpendicular
height Thus its height il more than twice
and its span more than three times as
great as those of the famous natural
bridge of Virginia. Its buttresses are IFS
! feet farther apart than those of the cell
| ebTated masonry arch i'm the District of
! Colubmia. known as Cabin John bridge
a few miles from Washington, which has
| the greatest span of any masonry bridge
| on this continent. This bridge would
oVerspan the capitol at Washington and

In the Century magazine there is given
a color drawing by Harry Fem which il

walls. all carved out of the sandstone by

! should not say that Nature has thrown"
! this bridge across. it is only man whose

| from half-tones are also given of the Car

Birth Of tie c. o. p.

: the Montpelier Journal

Says the Montpelier Journal:
If Hon. T.. l.. Walton were in the
body, the claim to priority of date Of the
use of the word Republican, in 1854. by
the organization which followed the
breaking up of the Wing party, the semi
centennial of which was celebrated at
jackson, Mich. on Wednesday, July s,
would be strenuously disputed. Mr.. Wal
ton would prove from the records that the
Republican party was born in Vermont. a
mass convention in this state, in
1854, having adopted the title some
weeks prior to the meeting at Jackson"
The name "Repubican' was adopted
by the Vermont party that has since
flown its banner at a mass state conVen-
ton held in Montpelier July 10, 1854.
The old Wing party held state con-
vention at Rutland June and nominated
a ticket headed by stephen Royce, of
Berkshire, as candidate for governor. \
call for a mass state convention to meet
at Montpelier July Is came out nine days
later, appealing to the voters in these
words:
An persons who are in favor of re-
sisting by all constitutional means the
usurpations of the propagandists of sla-
very are invited without distinction of
party TO meet in mass convention at Mont
peier on the 18th day of July next at 10
o'clock a. m to nominate candidates for
| the approaching election; and to take
lions enable the people of Vermont to
give a practical expression of their senti-
ments at the polls
The convention nominated n ticket
| headed by +. p. Walton of Montpelier
candidate for governor and adopted a
| lengthy platform in the course of which
the name Republican" was formally as
sumed in this resolution:
! Resolved, That inasmuch as there are
now no great measures of legislation oil
administrative policy dividing political
parties except of slavery, and harmony is
absolutely essential to successful resist
ance to the alarming aggressions of the
slave power, we do as Wings, Free Soil
ers and Democrats severally relinquisl
our former party associations and ties t
| form n new party organization having fo
| its object to secure the blessings of lib
erty to ourselves and to our posterity an,
also the wise, just, and economical ad
ministration of the government; and a!
the principles for which we are contend
ing lie at the foundation of Republican
ism as proclaimed by our fathers, W,
propose, and respectfully recommend t
the friends of freedom in other states t.
cooperate and be known as Republicans.
1t is interesting to note however, tina
although the Wing state committee join
ed in the call for the convention of 1855
the name Republican was not use'
then, and it did not find its place in tn
formal call until 1858.

Highwaymen at Castleton.

While returning home from Bomoseen
park Saturday night about II o'clock,
Albert Gaines, young man living with
his father about a mile south of Cas-
Teton Corners, was held up at the point
of a revolver and robbed of S24 by two
unknown men who met him in the cover
ed bridge, which crosses the railroad near
Castleton Corners. Mr.. Gaines had miss
ed the last car from the park and was
walking home alone. One of the men was
tall, wore a SLOUGH hat and held the re-
volver in his hand which went off and
the bullet passed through Gaines's coat
sleeve, but did not injure him. The
man was small. He went behind Gaines
and held his arms while his partner went
through the victims pockets. They left
Gaines and went towards Castleton Cor
ners. The night was dark, so that Mr..
Gaines could not see very well and ii
might be difficult to identify his assail-
ants.
