' fj He Gi?cs4is A lews on Female 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; iioop..kirts or galluses. What intrust 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. Bill Arp. 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. /
