WoMAN's RIGHrs.-.' What's to hil


der woman from getting as good pa,


for work well done as men get for hi


same work equally as well done ? Thi.


is the question which Miss Dicken


son has been popping to this communi


ty. The answer which she makes Isl


Nothing, except woman's own lack Of


interest in tie callings which she pre-


tends to adopt. Public opinion say.


Anna. makes it disgrace for the rich


est men to be idle; it makes it disgrace


for a wealthy woman to work. But the
great secret is that women did not want
to work they are lazy. They want to
spend the money that men earn"


The g nile Anna, like all women re-
formers, mis-. epresents her sex. 1t is
not true that women, as rule, are more
inclined to Incidence and self-iniulg-
ence than men, or that they are less in
terested and painstaking in any employ
ment that offers them a reasonable re-
remuneration for their care ard trou-
BILE. 1t is true, however, that women
being more amenable to social and con-
ventional usages, are in the main whit
men make them. 1t is not the fault of
women. but wrong for which men are
alone responsible. that they do not re-
ceive as good pay as men for work as
we'll done. 1t would be no more unjust
and absurd to establish a rule that a
women should not receive as much
goods for her money as a man, as that
she should not receive as much money
for her honest earnings as man. That
u women should lack interest in a call
ing which subjects her to such unjust
discriminations;i is but the natural con-
sequence of the system. Men demand
fair days wages for fair days work,
and less than this they will combine to
resist by physical force and lawl IS vio-
lence in cases when theyf, . themselves,
agrieved. What interest would a mab
of proper spirit feel in calling in which
he was forced to do the same work eor
less wages than others?


This is one. of the manifest wrongs
of woman which an advanced public
sentiment was speedily righting with
out the Intervention of unsexed tramps,
who harangue public assemblies upon
woman's rights and wrongs, to no other
purpose and effect than to break down
the social and conventional barriers
which shield the purity of the sex and
of the family relation, and
obliterats the lines of distinction be-
tween the virtuous and the vicious.


In this section of country women have
few if any public wrongs to complain Of.
and their domestic and social grievances
are such as legislative acts cannot rem
edy. They are secured by law in the
and enjoyment of their
own private property and the disposal
Of their own earnings. Every woman
so disposed and capable of doing ordin-
ary hopsework, can command ready
ut wages from $25 to $40
a month, which is quite equal tc the
average wages of men for an equal
Of labor. The only women who
suffer are the sick and overworked wives
and mothers who cannot command
on any terms, and whose
political enfranchisement would afford
them no relief.

A special from Washington to the San
Francisco Chronicle, dated May 2O.h.
says:


The question of the Chief Justiceship
is uppermost here. The arrival of Jud ge
Pierrepont on Saturday has added some
what to the interest, and the knowledge
to-day that he has notified the Secretary
of State and the President, that he
should be forced to decline the mission
to Russia, which had been rendered
him. has given rise to an impression
that perhaps the Judge may be offered
the more desirable place. His strength
with the President is well known. The
President at one time, when it was
thought that Secretary Fish would retire
from Office, offered him the Office of Sec
retary of State. 1t is said now that j,
is the Presidents desire to appoint At
torney General Williams as Chief JUS
ticc. and to give the Department of
Justice to Judge Pierrepont. 1t is known
that Judge Williams is strongly backed
for the vacancy, and he is himself an
eager candidate.

It is sad reflection that even the celebration OF
the holy Christmas time draws in its train excesses
aud crimes that are blot on our civilization
Strong drink is the familiar demon OF modern So
cety, and whenever the safeguards OF prudence
are relaxed crime rushes In at a fearful pace. The
suicide Of James Galaher teaches terrible
lesson OF temperance. Unfortunately sucn
lessons are not rare, but their moral seems
TO he lost on the violent and passionate
members OF society. Under the impression that
he had killed MS wife Gallaher shot himself in the
MIDST OF MS termed family. Thus one reprehen-
temperance OF hts wife is alleged to have been the
primary cause OF quarrel. 1t Is telling reproach
TO our poasted civilization that the innate feroclty
OF man seems to be uncurbea by any law human or
divine, and that the denizen OF a great centre OF
civilization should be as easily moved to shed
blood as the most benighted savage

In great many instances young men
spend half their lives in changing from
one thing to another before they learn
what they are competent to perform. A
correspondent writes thus: AS general
rule, the best place for young man to
begin life is right where he is. He need
not go a hundred, or three hundred, or u
thousand miles away from home to try


the world; that particular spot where he
lives is a part OF the world, and just as
good place to try as some other particu-
lar spot three hundred miles off. In the
Eastern States, where society is settled,
and things change but little, where bust
ness is held in fixed channels, and GER
tain families are supposed to have a pre-
scriptive right to do everything that is
done, there is not much inducement for a
young man to remain at home, unless be
possesses the genius and enterprise to
break through the traditions and regula-
tions that hamper him, but no such con-
ditiOn of things exists out West; here


everything is new, fresh and plastic; and


young man may do his part in molding
things to his purposes 1t is very COM
mon mistake for youngsters, who have
not vet butted their tender heads against
the hard angles of the world, to imagine
they possess superior talent, if they only
had an opportunity to exhibit it. If they


live on farm, there is no chance there to
show their genius. If they live in a
country town, it is entirely too small to
spread their wings in. They yearn for a
great city where talents are appreciated


and imagine that there is the field for
them to rise to emlnence and wealth, and
vet they had better stay right where they
are, and make their beginning in the


locality where they were raised If they
really possess genius or special aptitudes
they may first develop them and test the
metal they are made of in the limited
sphere of their native place, and, if the
experiment proves satisfactory, afterwards
transfer them to a wider sphere of action.
Thousands of young men who go to great
cities to try the world, find the world IN
such cities too much for them, and they
learn too late that it would have been bet
ter for them to make their trial in hum
bier and safer sphere.-Neao York Herald.

The Germantown Telegraph gives the
following method of disposing Of the corn
grubs:


We notice that there is great deal Of
attention latterly attracted to the applica-
ton of salt to corn hills to prevent the at
taeks of the large, black-headed, white
corn-grub, which eats off the young plant
when about an inch or two high. just at
the ground. We published the fact first
fifteen or twenty years ago. 1t was COM
municated to us by the late Isaac Newton,
atterward commissioner of agriculture,
whose exceedingly fine farm was in
Springfield township, Delaware County,
and this is the receipt he gave US: Take
one part of common salt and three parts
plaster or gypsum, and apply, when the
plant first makes its appearance, about a
teaspoonful around each mill. 1t will be
found to be \ sure protection. The mix
ture should not come in contact with the
young plants, as it may destroy them.
This method has been tried over and over
again by some of our best farmers, and
when properly applied has never failed to
be perfectly successful" Mr. Newton in
formed us that he tried this in alternate
rows (which completely proved its efficacy,
as while those where it was not used suf-
fered greatly from the grub, not plant of
the others was touched. We have pub
lished this repeatedly at this season in time

The investigation into the affairs of
the st. Louis Mutual Life Insurance
Company of this city still continues to
prove that the Mutual is a company
fortunate in having been managed
wisely and economically. The pros
ecution is a farce and more than a
farce. Not single point has been
made against the company's managers,
though every subterfuge has been re-
sorted to by the enemies of the organ
ization, and everypetty device employ
ed. They have even rung the changes
on charge of too high salaries, when
in fact the salaries are much less than
those paid by other companies, and
have questioned the fairness of a re-
port shown to be complete and correct
in every particular. The entire pros
eeution is a libel upon the intelligence
of the public and an insult to men of
standing and worth. Two or three
individuals have sought to injure an
organization justly a source of pride as
we'll as benefit to St. Louis, an institu-
ton which does more for the city in
one year than the prosecutors COM
bined have accomplished or are likely
to accomplish during the course of
their natural lives, and these two or
three characters pretend to represent
the policy-holders of the company.


There are however, in round num-
bers fifteen thousand policy-holders
elsewhere who demand hearing, and
who will have it if need be-a need,
however, which is scarcely likely to be
made evident. Public interest,
though demands that the difficulty
should. not end all at once. An at
tack has been made upon a business
organization and upon business men,
an attack which thorough investiga-
ton shows to be without cause or ex-
cuse. The officers of the company
owe duty to the public which they
should not be prevented from accom-
plishing by no false motives of delicacy
or mercy. The parties to the suit
brought without foundation should
be at once arrested for conspiracy,
aud the law which has been
invoked as an engineof annoyance
used as an engine of justice. The
business community cannot afford
the escape, scot-free, of men
who cody sacrifice the public interest
and impugn the motives ofhonest men
for the purpose of furthering some
private and malicious scheme.

He Yields to the Dictator, but VIII Use

NEW YORK. june IA New Or
leans snecial gives an address Of Gov.
McEnery, in which he says:


President Grant as the Chief Mag
istrate of the nation, assumed the high
and grave responsibility of foisting mp
on the people of this State a usurpa-
ton without precedent IN this or any
other free country, and he is answer
able before the bar Of public opinion
for this high-hahded measure. The
President with the army and navy at
his command has the physical power
to coerce the people Of this State into
any line of policy he may be pleased
to dictate, and it would be but folly
and madness to interpOse resistance
likely to bring US in conflict with the
national authority. Yet the deeply
fixed sentiments Of irrepressibIe hos
tIlity in the minds and hearts of an
outraged people against the vilest
usurpation ever attempted to be fas-
tened upon freemen, will find their full


cope and vent. L advise that these
manly and patriotic sentiments take
form and shape through all the moral
and legal agencies possible to be de-
vised. In the meantime / trust peace
and order may reign supreme through

trial pursuits will be unembarrassed

The rust is over the red of clover.
The green is under the gray
And down the hollow, the feet-winged swallow
Is flying away and away.
Fled are the roses, dead are the roses,
The glow and the glory done,
And down the hollow, the steel-winged swallow
Flying the way of the sun.
In place of Summer, a dread newcomer
His solemn state renewS;
A crimson splendor, instead of the tender
Daisy, and the darling dewS.
But Oh the sweetness, the full completeness
That under his reign are born!
Russet and yellow in apples mellow,
And wheat and millet and corn.
His frosts so hoaTy, touch with q glory
Maple and oak and thorn
And rising and falling, his winds are calling
Like hunter through a horn.
No thrifty sower, but just mower,
That comes when he is done,
With warmth a-beaming and gold a-gleaming
Like sunset after the sun.
And while fair weather and frost together
Color the woods so gay,
We must remember that chill December
Has turned his steps this way.
And say, as gather the house together,
And pile the logs the hearth,
Help to follow the light little swallow,
Fen to the ends of the earth.
