Allow me to give my platform OF
Woman's Rights, begging pardon for the
use of a very manish term, which | use
for the sake of brevity.


All claim for woman is the removal
of the interdict. Accept her as citizen.
Now she is denied the rights of citizen
ship and all the numbering legislation of
centuries will not adjust her relations
harmOniously in the world till this in
Justice be removed. She cannot be pro-
tected fully till she is thus recognized.
She cannot reach the true dignities of
her being till she is invested with the
sanctities and privileges of good eiti-
zen.


Remove the interdict. Make our

forth. Protect the glass in the sashes,
and walls at the side of the mOuldings,
by tacking strip of pasteboard several
inches wide against the surface next the
work to catch dashes OF paint.


If spots of mildew or blisters appear
on wallpaper in room where steam
does not penetrate, do not try to save
the paper, but strip il off, and apply IA
delicate tint, mixed with boiled linseed-
oil, to every gallon of which "A quarter
of IA pound of glue has been added, first
softened by heat, with a very little wa
ter to prevent il from burning. An
other more ef1ectual coating is made of
| five pounds of rubber melted in gallon

should be heated in a tin kittle sus-
pended i'm boiling water, so that it will
not take fire Coat the wall with this,
reducing, if necessary, by more oil, and
paint or paper above it, One gallon of

of surface, and never be penetrated by
moisture. One gallon of the oil and
glue requires twenty pounds of dry
paint ground in it to give two coats to
forty square yards of surface. Use
nothing but boiled oil for inside
work; the raw requires nearly a season
to dry. \ good drying oil is made by
boiling one ounce o: sugar of lead, and
the same of sulphate of zinc, with two
ounces each of litharge, red-lead, and

There is much loose talk afloat about the
tyranny of party, and the necessity of pre-
serving individual freedom OF action. We
admit that there is a clearly defined limit
to legitimate party control, and that large
liberty of individual opinion, and generous
federation, will always exist in healthy
political organization.


But we contend that discipline, tby schich
zoe mean the submission Of the iedividual
preference, 10 the clearly expressed aciuof the
majority and the acceptance on the part Of
each of his allotted share Of party acorh)
is essential to all cooperative action; as the
party is cooperative body, and can only
exist by mutual forbearance, liberation and
concession, and can only achieve its work
by thorough discipline, so discipline be-
comes as important as the existence of the
party, and is endowed with all the value OF
the cause which the party represents.


If an army were drawn up in line of bat
tie, and each soldier, possessed by some
baleful influence, should suddenly refuse to
obey his superior officer, though expressing
his willingness to fight the enemy on his OWL
account, it is clear that the army would be
worthless from lack of discipline. The
cause represented would be lost, not from

THE THEATRE-Hs First gM.-The
managers of this place of amusement have,
under the circumstances, no reason to COM
plain of the reception of the company they
have offered for the entertainment of our
citizens. The crowd present last night was
respectable III numbers and material. There
was considerable jarring perceptible during
the first introduction of the players, but
on becoming acquainted they improved, and
the audience was better satisfied. We
haye neither the space or disposition to dis
criminate on SO short an acquaintance as to
the merits of the company, but we would
be unjust and false to our position If we
failed to make special mention of the abili-
ties of Mr.. Davenport in his rendition of
the Irish character. Wehave already seen
enough of him to assure us that he will win
a place in the hearts of our people.


Miss Anna Masten, by her sprightliness
and determination to please, may be equal
ly satisfied with the impression she made.


In fact, under the cic INSTANCES, the en-
tire company acquitted themselves well.


The managers have made such arrange
ments as to give to the theatre an air of
comfort it has never before possessed.


The present regulations of those controll-
ing the theatre, with the press of the city,
are so imperfect and unsatisfactory, at least
to us, as that while none are disposed to
labor more earnestly than we to support
this institution, under present arrange
ments we cannot consent to do so. Our
time and labor is money to us, as well as it
is to the theatre managers, and we are not
disposed to give all and receive nothing.

had tho opportunity, both in England

to mo that he did his work with compara-
tive case, but was somewhat influenced by
custom of procrastination. Nearly all


his stories were written in monthly install
| ments for magazines, with the press at his
| heels. He told me that when he began n
| novel, he rarely knew how many people
were to figure in it, and to use his own


words, he was always shaky about their
moral conduct. He said that sometimes,
especially if he had been dining late, and
did not feel in remarkably good humor the
| next morning, he was inclined to make his
| characters villanously wicked but if he
rose serene, with an unclouded brain, there
was no end to the lovely actions he was
willing to make his men and women per-
form. When he had written passage
that pleased him very much he could not
resist clapping on his hat, and rushing
forth to find an acquaintance to whom he
might instantly read his successful compo-

whom he had invited to six o'clock din
ner at Greenwich one summer afternoon,
several years ago. We were all to go down
from London, assemble in a particular
room in the hotel, where he was TO meet us
at six o'clock, sharp. Accordingly we took
steamer and gathered ourselves together in
the reception room at the appointed time
When the clock struck six, our host had
not fulfilled his part of the compact. His
burly figure was yet wanting among the
company assembled. AS the guests were
nearly all strangers to each other, and as
there was no one present to introduce us, a
profound silence fell upon the room, and
we anxiously looked out of the windows,
hoping every moment that Thackeray
would arrive. This untoward state of
things went on for one hour, still no Thack-
cray and no dinner. English reticence
would not allow any remark as to the alb
sence of our host. Everybody felt serious,
and great gloom fell upon the assembled
party. Still no Thackeray.


The landlord, the buffers, and the wait
ers rushed in and out of the room, Shrek
ing for the master of the feast who as yet
had not arrived. 1t was confidentially
whispered by fat gentleman with hun
cry look, that the dinner was utterly spoil
ed twenty minutes ago, when we heard
merry shout in the entry, and Thackeray
bounced into the room. He had not chang
ed his morning dress, and ink was still
visible upon his fingers. Clapping his
hands and pirouetting briskly upon one
leg, he cried out, "Thank Heaven, the last
sheet of The Virginians has just gone to

late appearance, introduced nobody, shook
hands heartily with everybody and begged

AGRICULTURAL CHANGES IN NEW Enc
LAND.-The agricultural statistics of the
census returns will be ready at an early

now not generally known. They will
prove that there has been considerable de-
crease in the amount of live stock raised
in New England since 1860, while the busi-
ness OF market gardening in the vicinity
of the cities and villages has grown very
rapidly. One consequence of this is
marked improvement in the style OF liv-

tables of mechanics and improved modes
of cooking. 1t is thought that this will re-

side, can be mainly acquired by ten or twelve,
and after that should take a subordinate
place; but silent reading, of which little
or no account is now made, should be a con-
spicuous feature of the whole common school
course. BY silent reading a taste for reading
good books, without which the ability to read
is OF little worth, can be very generally devel-
oped. For this purpose there should be, un-
der the direction of the teacher, systematic
reading of a small, carefully graded library,
such as ought to be found in every common
school. To-day large proportion OF the
community do not read books at all-even

life They have no faith in book lore. But
Of those who do read it is not probable that
