Greeley ON Woman Sufferagisfs.


Horace Greeley has addressed the


Golden Age, defining his views of the
women question, saying, while he does
not deny that persistent, fragrant a,lul-
terry of husband or wife affords good
ground for divorce, transient infidelity
to the marriage vows, under the infiu-
ences of passions, Influenced by wine
or other material excitement. should
not, If repented, be an adequate reason
for divorce. The doctrine of remarri-
age OF those widowed by death should
be governed by circumstances in tJsS
main. When couples are happily
mated it will be better in higher life if
neither married second time, in this
planet. The handspring of his hostili-
ty TO woman suffrage is due to this con-
nection proper. The indissolubility of
marriage ties has conversion of the
movement OF woman suffrage morally
impossible on that account. He has
written little of what has appeared in
the Tribune editorially, on this subject
the last ten years, and concludes bv
saying, l believe our countrymen are
indebted to you for having discovered.

possible though most improbable can
didate for the Presidency. Allow me
then TO thank You for your early and
1rank demonstration. I can in no con-
tlngency be counted on your side, for
as woman suffrage candidate, as YOU
forcibly and justly say, there is not
even a remote possibility of my ulti-
mately adapting myself to this end
My difference with your crowd is too
vital, too radical, to permit the most
sanguine dreamer of hope for CONVEX
sion. am growing old, but my opin-
ions are tolerably firm and advanced,
The female Laura Fair type, who kills
her paramour, with whom she claims
to be OF rightfu affinity, and gives the
lie in open court to the wife She has
doubly widowed, is my pet aversion.
But why should any man be candi-
date for President for the woman suff.
ragists, logically and consistently? I
feel the candidate should be a woman.
She ought, moreover, to become thor
Oughly emancipated from absurdity,
folly, narrowness and baleful conser-
vatism, for which am too old to out
grow. Could you not find one who il
lustrates In her own personal history
what you felicitously term liberal
thought, Of this enlightened age? Let
her be one who has two husbands after
a sort, and live in the same house with
them both, sharing the couch of one,
but bearing the name of the other, to
indicate her impartiality perhaps and
cause, and the candidate will be so fitly
rated, there will be no occasion, even
under the most liberal, progressive and
enlightened regime to suefor a divorce.
Gould not one of this class be persuad-
ed to overbear her shrinking modesty
and nominate herself?

bite of a rattlesnake, not knowing it

Practice, observation and experience
have tanght me that 1t will cure poison

take a spoonful of it internally and
bathe the wound for cure. To cure a
horse it requires eight times as much

cases of snake bites occurred eleven
years ago. It had been thirty days
standing and the patient had been
given up by his physician. gave him
spoonful of the oil, which effected a
cure. 1t will.cure bloat in cattle caused

The Utica IN. Y. Herald says Prof
Squire returned Monday from Pough-
keepsie. and gives thrilling account OF
the ascension made there on the Fourth.
Prof. Squire went up in the Atlantic. i"
A Miss Thurston went up in another ball
loon at the same time The two started
together from Poughkeepsie. Prof.
Squire ascended early to the clouds
Then seeing that Miss Thurston was not
following him very fast. he descended.
intending to tell her to throw out ballast.
Before he coud get near enough to give
any directions, she east overheard the
contents ofone sand-bag this was imme.
dately followed by the contents of an.
other. She then went into the clouds
and out Of sight of her fellow aeronout,
and out of sight Of those on earth, OF
course. Prof Squire says. :" she went
up like rocket, and out Of sight almost
instantly Squire allowed the "Atlan
tic" to drift under the clouds, and in
sight of the earth. until over Hyde Park,
four miles ABOVE Poughkeepsie Then
he threw out sand and went up the clouds
in the clear sunlight He says he must
have ascended nearly half mile above
the clouds before he caught sight OF Miss
Thurston's balloon. This balloon was
then far above him, and looked no
larger than gentleman hat. " OF
course he could not see the lady at all
at that distance. He is Of opinion that
the lady was at least four miles from
earth. She says that the air was so cold
and rare, that the pain in her ears and
eyes was almost beyond endurance, and
she could only pull the valve cord by
winding it round her arm and throwing
her weight on it. Miss Thurston, who,
by the way, has another name in society,
is nineteen years Of age. well educated,
and student at prominent institution
Of learning None Of her friends save
her mother knew that she was to try to
manage balloon alone on that day. She
is the niece of a late balloonist, in his day
the most daring in the country, and has
made about twenty ascensions with him
during his life. This was her first trip
alone.

Small farms, says the Lafourche
R7Nmer, make near neighbors:
they make good roads; they make
plenty of schools and churches:
there is more money made in pro-
portion to the labor; less labor is
wanted; everything is kept neat :;
less time is wasted; more raised to
the acre, because it is better titled;
there Is no watching of hired men;
the mind is not kept in a worry and
fret all of the time. There is net
so much to fear from wet weather
or frost, or small prices. There is
not so much money to be paid out
for agricultural implements. Our
wives and children have time to
read and improve their minds. 1t
is an old and homely adage that a
small horse is soon curried, and the
work on q small farm is always
pushed forward in season. Give
us small farms for comfort and give
US small farms for profit.

In the report of the Treasury
Department-which is the only one
of the reports containing much that
is of special interest-Mr. Boutwell,
makes a very striking exhibit as to
the public debt indeed, we be-.
lieve, an exhibit unparalleled in
financial history, and nothing could
well be clearer as regards arrange
ment. The debt has been diminish
ed by s227,211,S92 since March L,
1869, with corresponding annual
reduction in the interest charge of
Sl6,7 TAI, 1876. Besides the statement
with regard to the condition of the
debt, the only things Mr.. Boutwell,
has to say which the public will
greatly care to read are his ezplana-
tions with regard to the issue of the
new loan to the Syndicate, and his
grand plan for the restoration of
American shipping. He gives the
the history of the new loan NOW
all taken with which our readers
are already familiar, and then goes
on to confess once more in the
simplest way his violation of the
law in letting the Syndicate have
the bonds three months before they
paid for them, but excuses himself
by the reflection that this was the
only mode in which the loan could
be disposed of and that, if they had
paid for the bonds when they got
them, the money would have lain
idle. This is doubtless all true,
but beside the question. The OBJ
lection to his violating the law af-
fects not him in particular, but
all Secretaries and other officers
and all loans He recommends,
and with good reason, and
increase in the commission to be
allowed in disposing of the four





and a half per cent loan, when it is
brought on the market. He says
that nothing can be done for one
half per cent? which is doubtless
true but he ought to have known

Presentation to the Grand Dnke's 8
Family.


One of the most conspicuous of the honors
rendered to the Grand Duke Alexis by the
citizens Of New York was his visit to the
Academy of Design yesterday morning. 1t is
highly probable that the young lieutenant has
visited more stately edifces for the retention
of all the beauties of the eye, the mind aud
the hand, and looked upon more stately
paintings and of higher order than those he
there witnessed hanging to the walls, but it
was not the mere visit or the building or
general art tabeau that we wished to COM
ment on. 1t was the presentation by num-
ton on the part of the Duke, on behalf of his
imperial father, of a picture of the late
Admiral Farragut that will render this visit
memorable and interesting to the American.
ProfIcred in few well-ti remarks by
General Dix, and accepted in graceful
speech of much shorter duration by the
Prince, the representation of the once gallant.
warm-hearted and generous Admiral will pass
into the hands Of royal owner and be ex-
hbited amid the choicest collection of art
subjects in the Russian capital. The readi-
ness Of the Duke in concurring in the Ian
guage employed in rendering this testimony Of
regard for himself and the profession he
has entered upon, and his expressions OF
the nobility of the character of the late
Admiral are sufficient evidence that the
opinion formed Of him while in Russia was
such as to render the present gift an accept
able acquisition to the people there

ARCHBISHOP MANNING AND HIS MISSION.
ARIES TO OUR SOUTHERN BLAoKs.-Dr. Man
ning the Catholic Primate of Westminster,
has sent out q band Of missionaries to
deal with and convert our Southern blacks
There are those who think this oficious and
meddling. We are not so minded. Our
Southern blacks are deplorably ignorant.
Made citizens of the United States by the act
OF emancipation, they are fully entitled TO
make use of their privileges But to be useful
citizens they need education; and we are glad
to welcome all educational help, whether II
comes from Archbishop Manning, or DIR. TAFT,
or Prince Bismarck, or Plus the Ninth, or
Henry Ward Beecher. What we want in the
South is an intelligent vote, and whatever
contributes to that must be regarded as a
blessing.

Southern brethren care nothing about the an
nexation of Cuba now for with its annexa-
tion comes emancipation and another State
ruled by niggers, and so much more to the
nigger political balance of power in the
Union.


Next came from the revolution in Spain,
which expelled Queen Isabella, revolutionary
movement in Cuba, which promised for some
time the independence of the island and
republican government including the emanci-
patton Of the blacks and the annexation of the
island to the United States, a la Texas. In
the early stage of this revolutionary enter
prise the recognition of the Cuban in
surgents by our government, as entitled
to belligerent rights, would have speedily
settled the whole business. But Mr..
Fish had other fish to fry, and Mr.. Sumner
opposed any Intervention in Cuba which
would interfere with his pet hobby Of those
Alabama claims. The emancipation Of mil
lion Of blacks, more or less, in Cuba, was an
affair in his mind too small to be permitted to
upset his hobby on those Alabama claims, by
giving the same belligerent rights to Cespedes
which England gave to JEFF Davis. Now, with
those Alabama claims virtually settled, Mr..
Sumner, perhaps, may be willing to do
something for the cause Of human rights and
liberty in Cuba. Let us wait and see.


Meantime, we cannot believe that General
Grant will undertake to dismiss this question
of our present relations with Spain and Cuba
in brief paragraph in his annual Message to
Congress tomorrow, which may mean any
thing or nothing. We hope he will submit the
essential facts in the case fairly and frankly,
and suggest a decisive treatment under the
authority of Congress. We have dallied and
trfled long enough with these insolent Spanish
barbarans in and around the island of Cuba,
on the land and the water; and now is the
time for General Grant, on this subject, to
electrify the country with touch of the de-
cisive qualities of General jackson.
