O’KELLEY, Editor and Proprietor, Against Woman Suffrage. The attempt to carry municipal Republi¬ suffrage for women in as the a Massa¬ chusetts can party Legislature measure has proved a failure, the bill being in rejected the House by an overwhelming significant vote The most utterance during the brief discussion of the measure was the of remark the bill by that a Boston opponent not a man or woman of bis dis¬ trict had shown any desire for woman suffrage, while liis pockets were full of notes from his women constituents asking him to vote against the bill. Until public sentiment among themselves can be changed, there is little pros¬ pect of progress toward woman suffrage.—Evening Post. It ought by this time to be clear to the advocates of woman suf¬ frage that their efforts must be directed chiefly to the education of their own sex on the subject. While it continues to be true that a large proportion—we believe a large majority—of the woman of the land do not want the suffrage, it is manifestly out of place to publish bitter attacks on the men for their injustice in not granting it. Sugar is sold in England for five cents a pound, while it costs sixteen cents a pound in France. The four greatest houses engag¬ ed in the publication of school books itk this country have formed a combination. They are D. Appleton & Co., Yan Antwerp, Bragg & Co., A. S. Barnes & Co., and Ivison, Blakeman & Co. Secretary Proctor last Saturday telegraphed to the governors of Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee and Arkansas asking to be inform¬ ed as to the extent of probable destitution in the overflow country and points to which rations should be sent; also for them to desig¬ nate persons to act in conjunction with the Officers to be assigned to duty in the distribution of stories. He says he is prepared to afford immediate relief. The conference between miners and mine operators at Columbus, Ohio, has resulted in the fixing of prices for the coming year and the revival of the inter-State agreement between the miners and operators of Ohio and Penn¬ sylvania. It is probable that similar action will be taken by the miners and operators of In¬ diana, Illinois and West Virginia. A prominent gentleman of Ogle¬ thorpe, in a recent speech to a gathering of farmers, told in this wise why a farmer could be noth¬ ing else but a farmer: “A farmer is too outspoken to be a merchant; too conscientioqs to be a lawyer; has too high a regard for .the truth to be an editor, and, owing to the provocations of surround¬ ing circumstances, could not be a preacher, and there was, there¬ fore, nothing else for him to be but a farmer.” We clip the following from an exchange. “I have verified a report of a very .uaterializaf interesting na tore, which ha, into n fact of rant significance, and cannot fail to rttract the widest attention in both Europe and America. It is nothing more or less than the announcement made to very intimate, friends here of the marriage of Miss Winnie Da vis, the youngest daughter of Jef ferson Davis, the late President of tlie Southern Confederacy, to Mr. Alfred Wilkinson of New York the grandson of Samuel J. May, JP.®at abolitionist leader, ‘Mr. Wilkinson is a bright and promising about 28 young of lawyer here, years age. His in come is quite fair; but Mr. Wil kinson is not a rich man. It a love match.

The Massachusetts House have rejected the bill to grant munici¬ pal suffrage to woman. The Mallon Australian Ballot System bill passed the Ohio House last Thursday evening by a majority of sixty-eight to twenty-one, and the bill will no doubt become a law before the adjournment of this session. The. Senate of Massachusetts have adopted a memorial to Con¬ gress declaring in favor of “a thorough revision of the tariff and the reduction of duties upon the raw materials of manafactures and upon the necessaries of life, as far as the same can .bo made with due regard to laboring and manufacturing interests.” It is probable that the Repub¬ lican joint committee of Senators and Representatives on the silver questions will fail to agree on a Silver Coinage bill. The Sena¬ tors insist that the certificates is¬ sued against silver bullion shall be redeemed in silver, while the Representatives insist that they shall be redeemed in “lawful money”—that is, all forms of money issued bylhe Government. The trouble with the pan-Amer ieau congress was that the Mc¬ Kinley committee was in session at the same time. The spec¬ tacle of congress devising means to prevent foreign trade, while they were trying to hit upon plans to increase it, was too mtfch for the sensitive spirits of our Latin visitors. They did not enjoy be¬ ing made ridiculous, and wanted to get home as soon as possible. , Monte r , Carlo „ , authontes ,, now reports . of t iL the suicides • • i suppress of . unfortunate . . , gamesters , that ,, , oc ° eur , ere.

OLD “VETS” ON SUNDAY. • Early Sunday morning the old soldiers were astir and rambling through the woods or refreshing themselves at the cool springs of the park. When afternoon came rein¬ forcements, were added to the veterans of the camp, and thou¬ sands of citizens, ladies and gen¬ tlemen, swelled the crowd. Daring the day some planks and logs were converted into a rude platform, near one side of the camp, in the shade of the overhanging trees. Round this the veterans gath¬ ered, and when the camp service began the woods for acres about were a mass of people, all imbued with the spirit of the occasion. Above the great throng, the sun shone down in approving splendor, and the breezes that wafted in its embrace the fresh fragrance of spring, seemed in harmonious sympathy with the holy day. A solemn hush fell upon the throng, as from the rude stand the first lines of the dear, familiar hymn, “Come, thou fount of every blessing,” sung by the deep voi¬ ces of men who had charged the cannon’s mouth, were begun. “Tune my heart to sing tby grace.” All along the line it was taken up, the whole woods reverbera¬ ting in the sounds of the many brave voices. “Streams of mercy, never ceasing, Call for gong. of loudest praisa.” Dream Strangely Fulfilled. In 1872 I lived in the Shenan¬ doah valley, and was betrothed to a lieutenant in the southern army, writes a correspondent of the XT New „ York , Evening „ . w World. ,, ^ On the 2d of , July T , T I expected . , , ,. him • , home, . but , to , the lrregu owing larity of our modes of travel, did not know a t what time he would arriye j waited utotil 12 o’clock, and a8 he did not C ome I extin guished the light and threw my self upon a lounge.
