Woman worship is not mere poeti-
cal fancy, but has its seat deep down in
the heart of Nature. When the youth
asserts his beloved to be his queen,
swears eternal allegiance, and VOWS for
ever to be worthy of, and to serve her,
he is really following but the dictates
of Nature, who worships the female as
ardently as he does. She is undoubted-
ly the most favored, and in elementary
constitution at least, if not in actual
form, mus: claim place in nature long
anterior to the origin of man in the sex
ual sense of this term. For theological
purposes she may have been formed of
the rib of Adam; for Mohammedan or
Mormon uses she may be but the mere
slave and creature of man, without even
4 soul to be saved except through his
sovereign will and pleasure; but the
religion of nature demands rather the
sacrifice of the other sex to her eternal
law.


Ii will not be difficult to apply these
principles to the great woman question
of the day. Man is the great acting
working force; all that appertains to
providing or protecting is his place in
nature. The gun, the plough, the ship,
the sword, 1.-The elements of force what
ever they be, and the ballot which is to
direct and control that force,-all these
are the essential prerogatives of man.
At the same time these laws and forces
should be used for the interests of wo-
man; and where they are not, man is
not fulfilling the purposes for which he
was created.-Old dRd Ne,c.

The Washington Patriot furnishes its
readers with the following pleasant bit
of news: .,...


A good many of the negro washer
women of Washington are "up to snuff"
whatever that may mean. They have a
way of making double profit off their
customers. In the first place they charge
"famine prices" for washing, and if
their customers do not like the charge,
the Independent female darkeys imme-
diately propose to take the garments for
their fee. This is one profit. Another
is of somewhat different character. If
possible, these washerwomen will per-
suade you into from six to ten days
time in which to wash and iron your
clothes. The job is generally done the
first day, and then the negro washer
woman hires out to other darkeys such
garments as they may select for a day
or nights wearing. This system of
hiring extends to all portions of the
wardrobe of both sexes, and is carried
on very extensively. A right shrewd
darkey often makes in this way four or
five dollars out of her washing, besides
the price she receives from the party
for whom it was done.


Many of our gay and dashing young
gallants, whose snowy shirt bosoms and
wristbands are the admiration of their
souls, may console themselves with the
soothing reflection that the self-same
articles have adorned Pompey, or Pete,
or Sam, at the last soiree dansdnte of
Dinah or Blossom. The practical money
getting "old aunty," that does the wash
ing, turned what she called an honest
penny by hiring them out for ''one
night only" at fifty peEcents per night.
The young lady whose affections are
centered upon her beautiful linen skirt,
does not know what sable belle has
sailed along the street or tripped
through the misty mazes of the dance
inside her cherished underwear; and if
it is the season of lawns, jaconets, and
muslin, which of the deep-dyed darkies
of the sisterhood of the "Good Samari-
tans" fiourished under them at the last
church festival, or gayly promenaded
the green in them at the last picnic of
the "ladies and gemmen OBJ our SET" 1t
is quite sufficient for her to know that
they have been the source of profit to
the washerwoman who hired them out
for the occasion.

The words which Walter Scott puts
i'm the mouth of Jennie Deans in her
memorable address to the Queen, are as
true as they are beautiful: "When the
hour of trouble comes-and seldom may
1t visit your ladyship-and when the
hour of death comes to high and low
lang and late may it be yours, o, my
lady.-it is not what we have done for
ourselves, but what we have done for
others that we think on most pleasantly"

With many a blush and many stam-


mer, female judge of a raw little court


in the Territory of Wyoming has been


compelled to retire from the bench, in


obedience to the clamorous demand of


maternity. 1t was the custom-said


her Honor-for Courts to take n recess


on fitting occasions, and for three weeks


there would be no hearing of argu-


ments, no justice to nor punishment for
prisoners in the lookup, no arbitrament


between plaintiff and defendant. The
Court rose, the lawyers went home, the
Judge took to her bed, and presently
the census of the Territory of Wyom-
ing was increased-and while these
events were going on, arrests multiplied,
new Jail was extemporized for the az
commodation of the unruly. Justice
slept, and the learned dispenser of the
law beamed with soft eyes upon the tiny
morsel of humanity whose arrival
created all this extraordinary hubbub.
The series of incidents which has given
this sudden flip to the gossiping
tongues of Wyoming offers an excel
lent practical illustration of the follies
of the ''third sex--which sex, not con-
tent to be either male or female, is am
bilious to abnegate the functions of the
latter while vainly striving to assume
the proportions of the former, but with
such Indifferent success in either direc-
ton as to move mankind to laughter.
Inexorable nature will have her way
and her way Is not tAe way in which
the female Judge can walk with joy.
There is another story, not dissimilar to
this, which also comes from Wyoming
the story of female jury, engaged in
trying case of murder, who suffered
untold pangs from day to day, through
the physical torture of Imprisonment
over night and the mental distress
caused by long separation from their
families. Finally one woman gave up
the contest and retired, another juror
was impanneled and the trial was be-
gun again, and at last it was discovered
that the substitute was foreigner, and
now the case is to begin over again for
the third time. 1t is not surprising to
learn that this accumulation of catas-
fropba, hoe orootad a rrofo,,pJ faaI;po
of disgust in the minds of 'learned
counselv-but such phenomena must
be expected in the places where the
gentler sex imposes certain limits upon
the over-ambitieus. The folly of the
women of Wyoming might be laughed
out of Court, literally, if it did not seri-
ously interfere with the administration
Of justice.-N. Y. Commercial Advertiser

UNION SoUARE.-A committee has been
appointed BY the Council to perfect The
City's title to this square. The proceedings
do not state who made The motion. We hope
the clerk, in future, will not omit the name
of the person who makes any motion. The
name should always be given, and the name
of the second, also. We do not speak &C
it with any special reference to this case,
but as Arule in ell cases.


The claims set up, against Union Square,
have no real foundation and nothing should
be paid upon them, unless upon the princi
that it would be cheaper to pay something
than to carry on a law suit.


The Union says the object in perfecting
the title is "for the purpose of selling it to
the highest bidder" The City can ever sell
this property without the written consent of
every person who owns any property front
ing on the square-and it is not at all pro-
bable thai such consent can ever be obtain
ed. II is even a question whether the City
could sell it with such written consent.
/ Good lawyers say that it is q question
whether the public throughout the city gen
orally have not such rights in the square as
viii make sale Illegal without their written
consent.


Bot it was no. Of the legal question that
we intended to write, now,-but of the pro-
priety of improving the square. This ought
to be done at once 1t is quite likely tha.
