fair. The book ought tobe in every

Charles Clotfelter. Miss Benfey gave
Vietor Hugo’s masterpiece, “‘Les Mis
erables.” We have had some fine ar
tists in their respective lines before,
but Miss Benfey surpasses them all. In
culture of conception, realistic rendi
tion, impersonation of character and
dialect, she is without an equal. Her
voice is ¢lear and penetrating, and her
renditionsare absorbing and intensely
interesting. She delighted the large
audience present, and all speak in her
praise. She gave a few humorous re
citals at the conclusion that were pleas
ing and showed her powers were great
and grand. She said that the respect
ful attention by the apparently inter
ested audience was the best she had
had in any city. .

The dead. body of George Howard,
colored, was brought to Marietta Fri
day evening on the A,, K. & N. train,
He was shot by Will Thompson alias
Aaron Thompson, on the 26th of Nd
vember at Condon, Tenn. They were
at work on the grade at that place and
had bean gambling Howard won $1.50
from Thompson and it resulted, we
learn, in « terrible fight. Howard, it is
said, went off and bought a Winchester
rifle and come back to kill Thompson.
The gundidn’t work very well and
Thompson got in the first shot with his
pistol. Howard lingered several daysiand
died. Thompson eseaped arrest. He
has a family living in Marietta. How
ard was a bad negro. He escaped from
the city chaingang here about two
months ago, with shackles on. He had
a pitchfork and defied the street boss,
who commanded him to stop. He re
fused to do so, and several shots were
fired, but he kept going and got away.
1t is with sad regrets that we an
nounce the departure of the beloved
pastor of the First Methodist church,
Rev. 8. R. Belk. The Bishop was pe
titioned to send him back to us, but he
saw it in a different light and sent him
away. No minister was ever more pop
ular with all the denominations than
Mr. Belk. He is one of the finest
preachers in Georgis,. a _consecrated
christian gentleman and a broad minded
man. Such a man as he will do well
wherever he'goes, and while we are loth
to give him up we nevertheless congrat
ulate the people of Marietta. May he
spend many years of usefulness —El

credit and all who heard him expressed
commendation. - Such sermons will do
good. They build up a sentiment in

Mannish Women.
“Rev. William O’Ryan of St. leo’s
chureh, Denver, says the political work
in which the women of that state are
ergaged injures them, and that he
deeply regrets having voted togive them
the privilege, for which grave error
he feels that he enght to ‘make atone
ment by standing in sack th before
the church door.” And yet%‘fi:*;‘ women
of Colorado are said merely n\i@}gg}ve lost
sight of all other issues in thei '{i}z{eter
mination to defeat a candidate who was
a divorced man.”’—Macon Telegraph.
Aside from the teachings of the Bible,
there are two insuperable objections to
the exereise of the elective franchise by
women. First, because of her want of
experienceqin regard to political mat
ters, which can be gained only by a
mingling with the hurly-burly of the
world and having knowledge beaten
into her, as men do, by actual contact
with the conditions out of which po
litical questions spring. The women of
Colorado are probably being trained in
this school to their everlasting hurt.
Secondly, the vast majority of women
are constitutionally incapable of arriv
ing at a correct decision where their
sympathies or their prejudices are in
volved. This, is apparent from the
statement of the Telegraph that they
forgot all the issues or great principles
involved in the platforms of the parties
in Colorado, in order to defeat a candi
date personally distasteful to them.
The new woman has been rather hys
terically defended on several occasions
lately in the columns of an Atlanta
paper, it being claimed that she shouid
enjoy equal facilities with men in the
state institutions of learming in order
to prepare herself for self-support.
Notwithstanding all the reasons given
for this innovation, there is not a voea
tion which a woman can successfully
follow, that she cannot as equally well
acquire out of the state colleges as in
them ; and 1 believe that the whole ob
ject of this agitation is to pave the way
for woman suffrage, or at least the ten
dency of encouraging women to adopt
masculine employments is to make
them dissatisfied with home life, , All
experience confirms this, notwithstand
ing the oracular declamations of the
club womer:., * :
Speaking of strong-minded women,
have you ever seen a truly original and
talented man who was married to a
self-assertive woman ? Peoplelike their
opposites. A strong-minded and tal
ented man may desire as his wife, a
woman of intellect, but he does not
want her to take the first place in the
family.
Call spirits from the vast deep, but
do not ask the public sentiment of
Georgia to endorse the mannish woman
or her suggestions, -

~ Apropos to the Colorado women ;
wher a negro in that state was lynched
by burning a few weeks ago, scores =of
females, it 1s stated, visited the scene
of execution, many of them in carringes,
and demanded to see the enlprit, and
afterwards voted unanimously that he
‘be lynched with fire. Their maseuiine
‘training impelled them to go* all the
paces with the other sex. Is this the
sort of influence that we wish to throw
around our women ? Ingtead of being
an ange! of merey to minister to the
suffering and dying, is she to be chanlg
ed to a Fury todelight in human agesy ?
These same Colorado female sufF afiigts,
itis further declagagl, voted in BPPo
sition to their husbands and male Féds
tives at the last election, in cof
quence of which many fnmil@ werey
torn asunder with dissensions. R
The Chicago woman’s clubs demvesy
that negro women be received in ¢

They have also taken a hand in “peli
