Suffrage and miss Soovan
Jr Anliiy.
Home, Ga., August 1873
Mr. Editur: Sons an Antny ain’t
nut-inn to me—that is nothin partick*
uler. No woman ain’t exsep' Mrs. Any
but when I heard they was \a trying
her for votin, my feme nine instinks
carried me strait to the Court House.
I was on her side before I got there
and I am on Her side yic. Women in
general is my weakness, and espeshu
ally a woman whose name is Soosan,
I always envied a man who conlu
fondle over Ids wife or his sweetheart
and call her ‘Soosy.’ It sounds so
meller and soft. So when I seed
Soosan Antny arraifted up before the
Judge like a konvict, I was mad—
mad with the whole naslmn.
I’hey raise a hellybilloo over the old
broken konstitution and mend it up
so as to let the black babboons vote
in the Rebel States, but if a wldte
woman of sense and spunk dares to
do it, it shocks pewritan modesty.
The old Judge tried to look fierce
and said a woman shouldent undersex
herself. I have seen a heap of men
who’ when they got sorter old took up
a sour grace spite against good look
in women, but Soosan looked as
strait us an egul, at the Judge. She
stood up square on tier paster joints
and remarked that she was freeborn
and native born and had property of
her own, and had a right to vote for
the lawmakers of her choice. - She
xaid that women done as much tor the
country as the men, if they dident
light in a battle they raised the boys
Mi at did. That 1 iavin era and nursin j
era and tendin to em in sickness or in
health was a harder job than fit in,
and if the men didn't belie\ e it just
let em try it awhile . She sed if the
Judge could name one good reason
why they shouldent vote* she wanted |
to know why.
JOoAcno A iic-.L- u uii a&g*. idlVuPO
when the Judge Joed her one hun
dred dollars, and she remarked that
every advanse in sivilization had to
have its' martyrs, and she was reddy,
She throwed a hundred dollar bill over
to the clerk, and sed she would bet
another hundred that the money never
reached the State treasury, 45he did’nt
mind that old Jdge no more than if he
was a monkey. She told him that if they
would base a votin business on moral
ity, or property 7 , or intelligence, or all
three put together, the women would
be satisfied: but they based it on
wearin britches, and . drinkin whisky
and cliawin tobakker, and keepin one
wife at home and another sum where
else. She declared that she had as
much rite to choose her politikal mas
ters as the Suthern niggers or the
heethen Chinese. That if the women
could vote there wouldent be a drunk
ard, nor a thief, nor a fool on the
bench, nor in any other offis, and
whisky would be harder to get than
arsenik. An old red nosed, swelled
faced man winked one eye at her and
hikuped “the h—he—hell you say.’
When the court adjourned the crowd
cheered Soosy, and one man st and he’d
pay the fine; another sed he’d see her
a fair tite with the Judge; another
sed the law dident say whether the
britches must be worn outside or in
oilc, in<t o.uotlioi* Cud he M rath or rick
the women to vote than thousans of
them drunken furriners and fools who
elekted John Morrissey.
Now I‘ve been thinkin a heap about
this votin bisness, my 7 opinyun ar
that Gov. J inkins is amity smart
man. the fust time he run for Gover
nor they beat him be ka us he sed he
dident think that every 7 fool and every 7
vagabond ort to be allowed to vote.
He was for drawin in the lines instead
oflettm'em out, and the melankolly
sequel has proved that lie vver rite.
If I wer a king I wouldent let any
man vote who couldent tell whether
General Jackson was ded or alive, or
who took more than three drinks a day
as a regular thing, or who chawed
tobakker after he had gone to bed, or
who was- a meaner man than his dad
an d or who beleevos in gosts or witch
es, or who dident put on a clean shirt
onst a week, or who -dident earn 50
a day. at s une respectabul bisness, or
who shouted at nite meetiirs more than
two hours on a stretched a
fregnJogist say thatthe way
to-tost a man’s sense was to draw a
strait line from the top of his upper
lip to his forred, and-another frouKthe
lower corner ofWpis nose ’to • the hole
in hiq t e: i y. a-ml if** the angel between
was less than 60 degrees he might be
smart for a monkey but he was a tt>oi
for a min. He said that this test
would rule out nearly all the idiots
and Afrikins from votin, and if it did
eut*the’.r faith in witches would, i
weuident lot a furriner vote until he
had ivc-d here and beh ived li'mself
for ten years, and he shouldent vote
then unless he had married an Anier
kin gal, or was a a raisin children on
Amerikin soil. I wopldent let no un
married man vote who was over
thirty years old; though I would let
all sich justify by swacrin that they
had tried but nobody would have em.
I’d make em name the gals in their
affida vy.
I would let every married man
and his wife and every widder vote yf
they wasn’t cut off by the following
exceptions. They should have one
vote ipiece for themsblves and one for
every child they had. The last would
elevate the Arpian family about dele
tion times shore. Akkording to Solo
mon, all sich ought to have a neap of
priveleges, for it ain’t no pikaune bis
ness to raise a big drove of children.
Jest let any hide-bound bachelor try
it and see. I look upon respectable
children as the hope of the State,
and if I had my way tnese stagnant
old rips who won’t marry, but
prowl around and live easy and die
rich and leave no sign, at least none
to speak of, shotfld be taxed heavy
and the money appropriated to the
orfins fund. What’s a man worth
to the State, who leaves no defenders
after he's demand gone; who patron
izes no Sandy schools or Mindy
school s- -b avs no candv or baby 1
*• . *■' I
%-lty. ::y -v \ % or knives, o i
long stock ins, or j ickonct muslins, ci;

lias lie got in perpetratin the great
principles? Why a ciironick old bache
lor can just turn over in his one horse
bed and die and not kecr a darn if the
world comes to an end in lb minutes.
He woulden't keer if the devil was to
break loose and eat up all the women
and children alive.
Now Tin not say in a word agin
them married foaks who sum how or
sumliow else liaint aksidentally
been blessed with offspring. By no
means. They show a willingness to
liav and that's enuf for me. Iv'e al
ways apologized for peepnl who done
the best they could whether tha suc
ceeded or not. I ain't no Bonyparte
to chop a man’s head off for losin a
battle, whether lie was to blame or
not. am a friend to married leaks,
children, or no children. Lawful wed
lock is sosieTy,s mainspring—its back
bone—its inshoonmee. I’ve no pa-,
tience with these stingy old stags
who won’t marry without they git a
pile of penshun money, who wants to
be hired to do it, who hang around
town waitin for some rich gal to turn
up, while ther’s lots of poor ones and
purty and clever jest waitin to take
shoogar in them.
Now I don’t want to be misunder
atood about this votin bissness. I
aint in favor of women mixin up wit if
skallawags and trash at the polls.—
By no means. I want the moral
strength and influence of their votes
because they are better and purer and
honester than the men, but I would
hev em to stay at home and let their
liusbans or their fathers or their next
frend vote for em as the case may be.
If a man fooled his wife out of her
vote it wouldent exactly be a clean
thing, but it would be a family matter,
and nobody’s bisness. It wouldent be
the only tiling that some men fool em
about. Them’s strong minded women
and weak minded men, and in such
cases I would let the longest pole
knock down the persimmon. The time
use to was when a married woman
dident have no voice in nuthin—ek
cept makin baby clothes. She could
ent own any property—she had no
sivil existence. If anybody giv her
anything 'Hupi to keep
her. couldeftt live wijh a
bus ban and quit him, the law
giv him all the children. Hut as the
world grows older she keeps a step
pin up higher. Now she can own as
nmbh property as anybody, and she
can make a will, and in sum States
set on a jevvry, and in 9 cases out of
10 she gets the children, when there is
a divorce. Sum of ’em are stndyin
inedisiii and make the best sort of doc
tors for women, and for children a half
hour old and under. They do derkin
and book keepin and telegraphin and
pr* i In, and can keep a post offis bet
tor than a man and never steal a tent
If'they do peep into other women’®
letters its only out of kuriosit-y, and
they always seal ein up again. Take
it altogether it looks to me like the
time has raity nigh cum when the men
lmv got to admit that a woman is just
as good as man, if not better, in
most everything that requires more,
sense than mu seel. I won’t say she
ort to vote if she don’t want to, but I
do say that no politislmir could buy
her vote with a drink.

Mr. Coville’s Complicated Mis
fortune. ♦
There are men who dispute what
they do not understand. Mr. Coville
is such a man. When he heard a car
penter say that there were so many
shingles on the roof of his house be
cause the roof contained so many
square feet, Coville doubted the figures,
and when the carpenter went away
he determined to test the matter by
going on the roof and counting them.
And he went up there. lie squeezed
through the scuttle—Coville weighs
230—and then sat down on the roof
and worked his way carefully and de
liberately toward the gutter.
When he got part' way down, he
heard a sound between him and the
shingles, and became aware that there
was an interference some way iu Ins
hSrthof?locomotion TT tW 3 turn
over and crawl back, but the obstruc
tion held him. Then he tried to move
along a little, in hopes that the trouble
would prove but temporary, but an
increased sound convinced him that
cither a nail or a sliver had hold of
his cloth, and that if lie would save
any of it he must use caution. His
folks were in the house, but he could
not make them hear, and besides he
did not want to attract the attention
of the neighbors. So he sat there un
til aftet dark and thought.
It would have been an excellent op
portunity to have counted the shingles,
but he neglected to use it. His mind
appeared to run into other channels.
He sat there an hour after dark, seeing
no one he could notify of his position.
Then he saw two boys approach the
gate from the house, and reaching
there, stopped It was light enough
for him to see that one of the boys
was his son. and although he objected
to having the other boy know of his
misfortune, he had grown tired of hold
ing on to the roof, and concluded he
could bribe the strange boy into si
lence. •
With this arrangement mapped out,
he took out his knife and threw it so
that it would strike near the boys and
attract their attention. It struck near
er than lie anticipated. In fact it
struck so close as to hit the strange
boy on the head and nearly brained
him. As soon as lie recovered his
equilibrium he turned on Coville’s
boy, who, lie was confident, had at
tempted to kill him, and introduced
settle astonishment and bruises in his
lace. Then he threw him down and
kicked him in the side and banged him
on the head, and threw him over into
the gutter and pounded his legs, and
then* hauled him back to the walk
again and knocked his head against
the gate.
And all the while the cider Coville
sat on the roof and cried “Police,” but
could not get away. And then
.Coville dashed out with a broom, aim
contributed a few novel features to
the affair at the gate and one of the
boarders dashed out witly/C double
barrelled gun. and lieaufig the cries
from the roof, there and es
pying a figu>6tj|W£li ■was undoubtedly
[NUMBER 31
fa burglar, drove a handful of shot in
his legs.
\\ ith a howl of agony Coville made
a plunge to dodge the missiles, freed
himself from the nail, lost his hold to
the roof, and went sailing down tho
shingles with awful velocity, both legs
spread out his hair on end, and h •
hands making desperate but fruitless
efforts to save .himself. He tried to
swear but was so frightened that he
lost his p<Vrer of speech, and when he
passed over The edge of the roof, with
twenty feet of tin gutter hitched to
him, the boarderhgave him the contents
of the other then drove in
to the house to in. The
unfortunate Coville struck into a cher
ry tree and thence bounded the ground,
where he was recogmized, picked up
b> the assembled neighbors, and car
ried into the house.
Anew doctor is making good day
wages picking the shot out of his legs.
The boarder has gone into the country
to spend the summer, and the junior
Coville, having sequestered a piece of
brick in his handkerchief, is laying
low for that other boy. He says that
before the calm of another Sabbath
rests on New England there will bo
another boy in Danbury who can't
wear a cap.
Baby*.
Babys i luv with all mi heart; they
are mi sweetmeats, they warm up mi
blood like a gin sling, the3 T krawl into
me and nestle by the side of mi soul,
like a kitten under a cook stove.
I hav raised babys miself, and kno
what I am talking about.
I hav got grandchildren, and they
are wuss than the fust crop tew root
aiming the feelings.
If i could hav mi way, i would
change all the human beings now on
the face ov the earth back into babys
at once, and keep them there, and
make this footstool one grand nursery;
but what i should do for wet nusses i
don’t kno, nor care.
I would like tew hav 15 babys now
on mi lap, and mi lap ainfc the handiest
lap in the world for babys neither.
My lap is long enuff, but not the
widest kind ova lap.
lam a good deal ova man, but i
konsist of length principally, and when
i make a lap ov miself, it is not a mat
tress but more like a cot>ple ov rails
with a jint in them
I can hold more babys in mi lap at
once, than any man in Amerika, with
out spilling one, but it hurts the babys.
I never saw a baby in mi life that
i didn’t want tew kiss; i am wuss than
an old maid in this respekt
1 hav seen babys that i hav refused
tew kiss until they had been washed;
but the baby want tew blame for this
neither waz i.
There are folks in this world who
say they don’t luv babys but yu kan
depend upon it, when they wuz babys
somebody loved them.
Babys luv me, too, i kan take them
out ov their mother’s arms just az eazy
as i kan an unfledged bird out of hiz
nest. They luv me bekauze i luv
them.— Josh Billings.
An impulsive young countryman sent
his girl the piece of sheet music en
titled “I will meet yoiuat the Beauti
ful Gate.” Her falher saw the piece
when she opened the package, and af
ter daubing a bucket-full of tar over
his gate, quietly remarked to his
daughter, “He can wait for you if he
wants to, but you won’t either of you
swing on that gate if tar will keep you
off.”
A lover of a peculiarly practical
turn of mind has been discovered. In
one of his letters to his sweetheart he
wrote: “I wish, my dear that you
would not write suuh long letters to
me. If you were to bring an action
for a breech of promise against me,
the lawyers would have to copy the
correspondence between us, and
charge fourpenee for every folio of
sj*renty-two words. The shorter the
letters the more we shall save from
the lawyers.
The Boston Post says it would be a
great relief to meet a State constable
who wasn’t wearing a diamond pin
received as a bribe from some rum
seller. /
