About Women. From the Sunday World’s columns de voted especially to the doing and sayings of ‘Heaven's last and best, etc.,’ we, with most reverent fingers, scissor as follows : A long-nosed, thin-.shanked old maid ap . pea red at the door of a farmers house in lo^a the other day, and wanted the farm er’s wife to subscribe to some woman's newspapers and sign a petition for woman snffiage. The wife called out, ‘Charles. Torn, Richard, Lucy, Jane !’ and was soon suirounded by a crowd of rosy-cheeked children. S-iic then* turned to her visitor and said, ‘Have you any of these ?, *N<> !' was the sharp reply. ‘Then/ replied the buxom wife,‘go get a few, and afterwards come to me about woman's rights if you feel like it.* A Chicago schoolmistress who has been in the profession for ten years, says that *ince the woman's rights question became prominent she has discovered a great change in the deportment of her school gills. They now laugh at things that formerly would have brought a deep blush fro'their cheeks. A young lady of Cleveland, Ohio, re ceived a letter on the eve of her wedding, saying that her lover had a wife and two children in a neighboring town. The poor girl read the letter through, turned her fact* towards her mother, who Was in the room, and exclaiming, 'Oh, imt !' dropped dead -upon the floor. The New Orleans Picayune of recent date says that Mrs. Shaw a p pen re 1 before the Recorder to prosecute her husband for insult and abuse : ‘W hat have you to complain of?' inquired the magistrate. ,My husband neglects roe, sir. He leaves me al home, and when 1 complain of it he insults and abuses nu*. ‘ ‘Can you give me an instance of it ?’ ‘Yes. He went to tie cock-fight on Sunday, and wouldn't let rn<‘ go with him, and said if they fought hens j he would stud for me.' . Women are rapidly marching to wind* emancipation. A beautiful and 0.-It .-do cated young lady has just opened a huge boot and shoe store in Philadelphia, -*ffie has three girl clerks, and they all weai little fancy aprons made ->f b ather, -o as t*. look business like, and, at the -nine nnu pretty.

The women opposed to allowing theii sex to vote are organizing all over the couutry, and intend to fight to the bitter end for the old order of thiugs. A canvass of one town in Maryland recently taken re sulted in ten women votes in favor of the suffrage to nearly two hundred against it.

The Pennslyvania Central thus obtains control of a consolida ted line, not only from New York to Chica g", but from the great metropolis of the Pacific and becomes the most extensive, and probably the most powerful railroad corporation in the world. Loud Brougham's Last Visit to the House of Commons. Never but once did Lord Brougham enter the House Commons after he raised to the peerage. It was not many years before he died. He went, leaning on ihe arm of a friend a well known officer o 1 the House of Lords, whom the aged peer had asked to escort him. There was a curiosity in the old athlete to view the arena whpre lie had so often struggled with end thrown his adversaries Within the door leading from the upper house Lord Brougham gazed on the stirring scene for a minute or two, and then tears welled up to his eyes, and he murmured to his friend' with'deep emotion, ‘Take me away ; take me away. There is not a face here that I can recognize.* And lie moved slowly along the passage back to the House of Lords, murmuring as he went, ‘Dead ! dead ! All gone.' The great champion of that arena, soon went the way that those who had wrestled with him had already passed- The promist of bis blight boyhood was amply kept in his mature years, and the memories of both will long be dear to all who reverence worth above rank, and who hold that the aristocracy of intellect is su perior to any degree in the peerage—Tem ple Bar. Peace. —General John B. Gotdon, in his Memphis lecture, gave utterance tu the following . He had nothing but words of praise and veneration for the great and magnanimous men who fought and subdued tin. l South. If their voices wej'e as potential in peace as their gleaming weapons had been in war a blessed peace would have.settled upon and unitecPthe people of this land. [Cheers.] It is against Ihe crawling hypocrites who sneaked at home,.who never felt a gener ous impulse stir their breasts, who perpet uate strite, that he raised his voice. He uttured a very fine phillipic against that wretched class ot scribblers and machine authors, miserable compilers of other's ideas who write book**, the only new thing about which is the poison they inject into them. The Y ung Men VY t h<> ar*: in Danger.— Rev. T. Dewitt Talmadge delivered au ad dress at the meeting of the New York Young Men’s Christian Association, in Which he., in ihe following sentence, truly depicted the class of young men who are in danger in all large cities and who most need the care and protection ol Young Men’s Christian Associations and kindred as-oeintions : * | )it it is only one class ot young men who me -at> without any effort onourpart. They .»re the sour, sallow faced men. Satan would not know what to do with them if lie had 1 hem. He would be afraid of their disputing his kingdom wilh him. It is the go in* roiis young men, the large hearted, -oUi.il voting men, who are in peril. It is rin* young men who are starting in life with a magnificent cargo of hopes, that we want The yqung men whq are empty of heart and life, need no Christian associa* tton. They will never drink, unless some bod, treats them. They will never gam ble, save with some one else's money. They are too mean to go to perdition, un less somebody pays the way for them.’ The Courier-Journal is now investiga ting he. Georgia diamond question. She says : ‘Georgia is unquestionably a great State. Even Georgians themselves have beeD known to acknowledge the fact. She has a right to boast of her resources aud the euterprize '*f her citizens, and is justly proud of her flourishing cities. But we can't help thinking that she is coming it a little too strongly in the diamond discover j hen we were told that a citizen of county bad, when a boy, a round peb* ble f which he habitually used 'middle* man' ill* playing marbles j that hia children used it for the 6Htne purpose for years j it was finally loet somewhere about thv premises 5 and that it Was then, and 'wf rtfs'crArorerf'toluf a d?fkmor,J worth two hundred thousand dollars, we swallowed the story without a murmur, but wher Georgia, taldng the advantag'- of oar credulity, comes along with the de claration that somebody down there has found a diamond weighing thirty-five pounds, we feel that we would much rather they wouldn’t do it—that we would rflther she would select a smaller stoue or tell the story to somebody else. Take Your County Paper, ( Well, Squire, you say you don't take ynur county paper. « No, Jftjor, I get the paper otl much better terms, and so I take a couple of tlfem. But, Squire* these county papers are a great convenience to us. The more we encourage them, the bottei the fedltor can make them. I don'P know that they are of any con venience to me. The farm you sold last spring was ad vertised in one of them, and you thereby obtained a customer. Very true, Major, but I paid three dollars for it. Now, if your neighbors had not main tained that press, you would have been without the means of publishing your daughter’s marriage, and your brother’s death, last summer. Yes, yes, but And your nephew was a candidate for the legislature, you were highly gratified at his newspaper defence, which elecled him, aßd cost yon uothing, Y-e»s, y-e-s, but these things are news to the readeVs, aud make the people take the papers. No, no, Squire Gr’tidge, not if they were all like you. I tell you, .Squire, the day will come when somebody will write a long eulogy on yonr life, character, etc., and the printer put it in type, with a heavy black rule over and under it, and with till y<>qr riches, this will bt? done for you as a grave is given to the pauper. Yoqr wealth —libelality, and all such, .will be spoken of —but the printer as he spells the words in arranging the type, will remark: poon mean devil—he never took the paper, and is now even swindling the printer out of his obituary notice after he is dead. Good morning, Squire. The Disgrace of Paris. The shame of France now approaches its culmination. Insurgent Paris is again call* ed upon to endure the bumilaiion of defeat. Struck down by the conquering German, she rose rampant, and more arrogant than ever. Almost before the sounds of his foot* steps bad died away, her blood stained hand was taiaed against the government she had created, and a grand carnival of blood was at ouce inaugurated and continued with fiendish enthusiasm. But the parrici* dal attempt failed, as it deserved to fail and Paris, gay Paris, beautiful Paris, crou ches in shuddering shame beneath the iiplif ted sword of that inexorable Justice, whose majesty she insulted and whose commands she disobeyed. In this case retribution bas been swift and it has been terrible. Paris, iu her pride ol place, claimed the admiration and homage of the world as au inalienable right. She was the mistress of the nations; the queen of the peoples, aud all the beauties and glories of the universe were valuable iu her eyes only because they glittered in her stolen diadem, and added lustre to her matchless charms, Her reigo has beeu long, dazzling, despotic. She tiad princes, pontiffs aud kings for her courties, and her easy virtue captivated ail by its wild and fascinating abandon. The priest, the poet and the philosopher, all bowed befote this modern Aspasia, and mingled their genius in splendid alliance for the gratification of their mistress. Editing a Newspape.—We never could see the virtue of the boast which is so of* ten made by the papers and magazines, that so large a portion of their pages is original. Such origiuality is often main tained at the expense of the worth. The best exchanges ot our acquaintance are by no means those which have the greatest amount of original matter. There is more of editorial tact and talent required to make proper and practical selections then is put in requisition by the production of tl>^ vaunting original pupura, who seem to require originality as the only requisite for a good periodicai. A good newspaper is always dependent upon other resource* than its own. And the boast of a periodi cal that it is entirely original, is too often like the boost of iibarary if it should claim to have the production of only one another.. N* '.'•%* ■ '»,■ ■ ' *<i V ■* «■»- ...II I What .Her Secret Political Parties Have Dune fob France —The condition of affairs ill France goes on from bad to worse. L'ko a lame war horse, goaded on by a madman, that unhappy country plunges forward, and it requires no great sagacity to forsee a terrible tail at last. Her condition was terrible enough when the war with Ger many ended. The payment of her costs to the victor were enough to appall herj but since then the condition of affairs wasgrown infinitely worse} So bad indeed, that tve should not be surprised to see her suffer further dismemberment of territory in pays mentof Bismarck’s frightful bib. And all this grows out of that famous secret society which Mr. D’lsraoii mentions in Lotbuire and which was to establish the Universal Republic.' If the mysterious movers in this fright* ful business could be brought to light and made to undergo the punishment wliich should follow on their awful Unrope might have peace for the depade, but as long as men, at once so reckless and so powerful, are at large to operate on the minds of the dangerous olassea, the volca* no may burst forth at any moment. With this, however, we have nothing to do in this country} bat we have secrect political societies of oar own. The Loyal League; for example, whioh stirred up the bitterness and strife in North Carolina, and wrote its history by the light of burning barns and hay Stacks—the Lojal League, we say, still exists; and as long as it does, backed by powerful military organizations at the Northj the peace and liberties of this couus try are in danger.—Norfolk Virginian. Boarding House Keepers from the South. —.dinong other matters brought to the knowledge of my friends during their pro longed search for a moderately good board-, ing house, is the fact that a large number of Southern ladies have engaged in this business in New York. It is a miserable business for any one to take hold of, but necessity, as we ail know, is a hard mas ter. When the war closed thousands of Southerners came North to make a living and among them were many women who had lost their husbands, and were obliged to rely upon their own efforts for support. A great many resorted to board ng house keeping, and have managed in this way to make both ends meet.. The houses kept by Southern women have at least the reputa tion of being better than others, and con sequently they are more popular. A South ern woman, whose house is well furnished (in most cases tho houses are hired furn ; sh« ed) can get higher prices for board than any other women, with a house equally Well furnished. The reasr nis that she is supposed to be free from stinginess which is the leading characteristic of the aver .ge boarding house deity. I suspect, however that some of the persons who advertise as Southern widows, and the like are nothing of the sort, but regular old stagers of GotbarU who hope in this way to attract boarders that would religiously shun them if they stepped out in their own colots.— Cor N. Y. Times. Penny Postage between England and America. —The London Daily Slews, corns meriting upon the bill lately before Par liament to establish a penny post between Eug aqd and the United States, observes : No doubt the reduction of the American postage to a penny would have a wonder ful effect in deuelopiug correspondence ; but the change is so great that it will take some time to effect, it and Mr. Mouse) points out that our present contracts stand till 1886; bnt Mr. Gladstone said it might be considered whether the Postmaster Gen* eral could make new contracts, with a view to Ibis great reform. A peuny postage between England and the United States will some day be established, and will tend more perhaps than any other possible measure, to multiply those personal svm pathies which, stretching across the sea, bind the people, more firmly together than laws 01 treaties. Somebody advertises for agents to sell a work entitled, ‘Hymenial Instructor. ’ A onlemporary adds: 'The best hymenial instructor we kuow of is a young widow.
