D O Y O U R B E S T !

A. A. E. TAYLOR.

Whenever work you have to do,Yield not to sluggish rest;

No matter though success seem sure,The work best wrought will best endure; To make all thorough and secure,

Always do your best!

Whatever work yen have to do.Go forth with eager zest;

Plain duty may not pleasant be ;Smooth paths to right men seldom see; Yet greater is life’s victory—


Whenever work you have to do,^ Put courage to the test;

Though foe outnumber friend by far, Though singly you go forth to war,Though doubt eclipse hope's morning star.

Always do your beBt!

Whatever work you have to do,Stand to your purpose, lest

One faltering all the line may shake,One falling may the full ranks break,And thus the foe the field may take—

Always do your best 1

Whenever work you have to do,Each hindering thought detest;

No man aan fill another’s place;One for himself must duty face;Be true, and trusting to God’s grace,


Whatever work you have to do,Make not the task a jest;

True deeds are worth the doing well,More solemn each than time can tell,For soon will toil life’s funeral bell—

Perhaps w e may be perm itted to be “ pure womanly,” and w ithout promising any mathematical principles, admire all there is o f A rt, in which it is betteT to believe and have b lind confidence than seek to know how and why it is done.

Our s o re r o rity in small ta lk , observation and gossip cannot be denied. W e do not, either, balance the precise value o f onr accomplishments in this life, for we m ight discover that everyth ing, from an emperor’s sceptre to a baby's rattle, was a like insignificant.

A Parisian philosopher argnes rather ambiguously, that “ woman is a necessity which Providence has converted into an enjoym ent.” Again , “ woman fills np the intervals o f l i fe lik e the cotton in glass boxes; we reckon the cotton as nothing, ye t every th in g would break to pieces withont it.”

Hens and chickens o f the farm-yard, no doubt, create in ns a proper n spect and affection, but some prefer the eagle that rears up to the sun. So the cabbages and turnips of the fie ld w e owe respect to, but not the admiration with which w e contem plate the majestic tree among mountain fastnesses that braves the w h irlw ind and the storm. Yet I believe, am ong women, who pursue “ the noiseless tenor of their w ay,” m ay be found minds o f the highest order, and hearts o f keenest feeling, whose aspirings o f ambition m ay be crushed and sacrificed in the interests, the selfishness, orthe preferences o f others.

Innovation has been the scarecrow o f a certain class for successive ages. W ick liffe and Lu ther were considered most dangerous innovators. Columbns was sneered at as a theorist. G alileo imprisoned as a heretic.

In those dark days every step in sci nee was watched and and opposed. Innoculation was gross im piety— printing, the w ork and dev ice o f the dev il. W om an ’s life was dull and monotonous as tha t o f an enshrined idoL I f a spark of brightness was e lic ited from her dn ll inertness, she was liab le to be tossed in a blanket, ducked in a horse pond, or burnt as a w it c h !

In so-called days o f C h iva lry , justice was imperfectly understood or capriciously rendered.

W om an, sometimes the prey o f lawless violence, sometim es the object o f absurd homage— their highest accomplishm ents— w eav in g id le dreams o f lo ve into never-ending tapestry or te llin g th e ir beads.

I t was also necessary to pub licly admonish young ladies o f degree “ to lean not b y any m eant upon their elbows, not to eat upoone meat so hot th a t the tears should s ta id in their eyes,” and tha t “ to th row liquor down the throat, as into a funnel, was an action fitte r for a ju g g le r than a gentlewoman ;” also, th a t “ it was decent and comely to use a fork .”

B u t nowadays men are not t ilt in g w ith every wind-mill in th e ir w a y fo r the lo ve o f the radiant eyes o f Dulcinea Del Toboso, nor are women o f the present day content with m ere “ t i lt in g heroes;” for, from the difference o f science and taste, the benefits arising from in tellectoa l cultivation, th e sphere o f en joym ent is incalcu lably enlarged, and a thousand feelings, sympathies and pleasures open to them, w h ich w ere unknown to an earlier and more barbarous state o f society.

W om an ’s onward march is disputed, ineh b y inch, for the developm ent o f independent th ou gh t; for usefu l progress, for the un ity o f the ideal and the actoal. In the conflict between innovation and routine they m ay 'in frin ge upon each other as enemies, but they w ill fina lly unite themselves toge th er as friends.

I f there were no innovators, chaos would come again, the w orld wou ld be out o f j o in t ; y e t to rem edy too much innovation , the conservative pow er o f routine protects society from d ire consequences.

Thus, thongb, “ men must w ork ,” wom en need not weep, but w ork lik ew ise i f men w ou ld p e rm it; but when all ideas fa il, the righ ts and innovations o f woman are seized upon as one o f the top ics o f v i ta l i t y w h ich is le ft in this age of evenescent cant and g lo r ified shame.

Therefore, man takes to i t as k in d ly as a hungry spider takes to a fa t fly , w h ich has become entangled in hit n e t ; he takes to i t w ith as m ach a la cr ity as a seedy politician takes to a Janus-faced p u b lic ; he takes to it w ith as mneh sym pathetic zeal as a quack doc ter takes to the care o f a w ea lth y lady o f unm entionable age and imaginable ailments; yea, w ith not less unction than a fashionable m inister o f the period takes to a congregation o f h igh ly respectable sleepy-heads and fu ll purses.

M en h ave lon g been le ft floa ting in a sea o f doubt as to w h a t constitutes the criterion o f a perfect woman.

Sages and philosophers— sacred and profane, ancient and m odern— have been unable to construct a common platform for her lit t le feet. T e t I contend woman is as restless now, as in those days when T ro y w a i la id in ashes fo r her sweet

sake.I f she cannot g iv e one vote, she can at least control twen

ty ; confessedly at the root o f a ll troubles, says gossip, she has fina lly brought about the w a r in Europe. The la ir Eugenie, the youth fu l Madame O lliv ie r , the Premiers o f Flanders, and sundry o ther gen tle politicians o f France, w ith the ir delicate fingers, have stirred the seething caldron in to felim ination, and a ll because woman w ill write letters, telegraph secrets, and w il l have her own sweet w ill.

Thereupon she reigns queen o f hearts and homes. In politics, in litera tu re, in ed ito r ia l sanctums, in nursery, draw ing-room and k itchen , her versatile ta lents alike fit her to ru le and re ign r igh t ro ya lly and gen tly w ithal.

THE INVADERS OF THE WOMAN'S KINGDOM.

BT E. V. B.

Alien one has finished reading that charming story o f Mss Muioch’s, “ The Woman’s Kingdom,’’ they are much at a loss to decide whether the true and earnest and beautiful life ol the one twin sister, or the false and selfish one o f the other, has been the exponent o f the author's idea o f what is the woman’s kingdom. Both are successful lives according to the ambition o f the livers. Both women reign supreme in the world they are ambitious to rule, and each is happy according to her own ideas o f happiness. 'T is a well- drawn. truthful picture o f life as it is. A ll women rule i f they only knew it. Women can take just what position they choose. Their kingdom knows no bounds save the limits o f their own milking. Can anything prove this more conclusively than the development ol American men s ideas on the subject o f what is woman's sphere. N o American man wishes a puppet o f fashion, a dressed up doll, for a wife. Even those who have not progressed as far as John Bright or Stuart Mill, with regard to woman’s political privileges, shrink from taking a wife from the butterfly tribe, the -Mrs. Jeningham type o f society women, and postpone marriage as long as possible. They do not wish an Atina Dickinson for a mate (she is not a marrying woman), but are scarcely prepared to fly to the other horn o f the dilemma, and link their fate with a Rosa Bell, who thinks flirting keeps a girl a live. But while men are disgusted with women who live to dress, and pursue no study save that o f their personal adornment or self-gratification, they are as much or more repelled by those who violate the laws o f taste and do not study to please by the application o f ¡esthetic rules to the selection o f their attire.

The world of fashion has always been yielded to woman as-her kingdom, but, in reality, it is only a small portion of the Empire to which American women aspire. Still, they have too much practical good sense to neglect the effect and impression which dress makes. When Mrs. Stanton or Anna Dickinson make their appearance on the orator’s rostrum the details of their elegant toilets would elicit the admiration of the new French artist who is designing the costumes for McCreery's fall customers. ’While perfectly simple and elegant, with no redundancy of ornament, their dresses are modeled to the prevailing style, yet with a view of expressing the individuality of the wearer. Mrs. Stanton’s silvery hair is crimped in small curls in front; a moderate chignon is covered with a filmy net, while a green ribbon bands her queenly head. Her black silk dress is moderately trained, the fit is perfect, the “ p a s s e m e n t e r i e ” trimming rich and elegant, while a costly Chantilly lace shawl falls in graceful drapery over the whole. No wonder the applause rings up so cheerily as she advances to the desk. It is as much in compliment to her good taste as to her good sense and liberal sentiments.

I saw Anna Dickinson once on the rostrum at Cooper Institute. Her dress was faultless, as an expression of the woman’s character. She is small and slender; so the sleeves of her black dress were puffed to give fullness and breadth to her person. She is not tall; therefore she wore with good effect the long tram which swept the stage as she walked to and fro in the course of her address. Laces of delicate beauty encircled her graceful throat and fell in wide frills from her wrists and expressive hands; for the human hand is as expressive in its way as the human face or voice, and Anna Dickinson understands the use of her hands. Her short black hair, worn like a boy’s, curled and waved about in natural disorder, guiltless of ribbons or ornaments of any kind. She was a glorious-looking creature, but rest assured she is a very woman, a queen in the woman’s kingdom of dress, as well as an empress in the domain of progressive thought.

Fortunately for women who do not choose to give their whole minds to the subject of dress, every facility is afforded the business or literary woman of the present day for the exercise of her taste without consuming a large portion of her time. Since 'Worth set the example of designing costumes for Parisian belles many of the sterner sex have invaded the woman’s kingdom. Men are found ready with their trained intellects to assist women in a quick disposal of the momentous question, “ What shall I wear ?” Let us enter the magnificent establishment of James McCreery & Co., on Broadway. Not only shall we find ready-made dresses of every variety of style, of home manufacture and foreign importation to make our selection from, but here also are two departments ready to receive our orders. One is presided over by a man, a Parisian artist, who has been for many years a designer of the court costumes at St. Petersburg. He will take your measure and fit you, or he will show you a department similar to his own where, if you prefer, one of your own sex will wait upon you. You look over the exquisite designs executed by this model artist and make your selection. If you desire to pay for it you can purchase the exclusive right to a design, take it home with you, and thus insure that no other lady will duplicate your dress. There is no need to shop for trimmings and linings, buttons, hooks and eyes, etc., etc., as in the days of our mothers and grandmothers. Time, which is money in our day, is better economized lor the business woman. The artist here steps in and knows whether lace, fringe, “ p a s s e m e n t e r i e , " ruffles or plaitings would suit your style and occupation best. He knows, too, how much material of every kind is needed. In less time than these lines have been penned the whole matter is de

cided, and when next you see your dress it is at your door in a neat box, sent by express, Tou have nothing to do but put it on and wear it. Dressmakers do not make mistakes in the fit nowadays.

Moschowitz, the N ew Y ork W orth, is, perhaps, the greatest invader o f the women’s kingdom that the world can boast. He has but two women in his elegant establishment at 63 East Ninth street. A ll his workers are men. H e has between thirty- five and forty whiskered and mustached Europeans— Germans, Hungarians, Poles and Bohemians— executing the designs which he makes for his customers. He is a young Hungarian, and has never resorted to the usual American tricks o f trade to advance his business ; yet his customers are drawn from the best circles o f society all over the R epublic. N o one wonders at this who has seen his designs, they are o f such wondrous beauty. Some o f the elegant toilets displayed this season by Sirs. Lars Anderson, o f Cincinnati, at Saratoga, were made by Moschowitz. Mrs. Constant, o f N e w Orleans, and Mrs. T ib betts, her mother, ordered their dresses at this establishment that they are now wearing at N e w p o rt; w h ile Mrs. Laurens Andrews, o f this city, sent her daughter-in-law lately a dress from the workshop o f this N ew Y o rk W orth to display at a European court.

Verily the time is not far distant when New York will set the fashions for the world.

Butterick, another invader of the woman’s kingdom, sends his paper dress-patterns to every quarter of the great Republic, and even into the British possessions.

People never complain when men step out of their sphere. Why can they not let women have the same privilege ? Now I suspect, so strongly that it almost amounts to a conviction, that men are secretly* pleased when women are self-assertive and boldly dash out of the woman’s kingdom into the wider empire claimed by American women as their domain. In truth there are some men whose mental development is as essentially feminine as there are women who are bora Amazonian in soul however weak their bodies may be.

When Madame Demorest and her colleague, Miss King, boldly launched their bark upon the sea of commerce as importers, and when Madames Woodhull and Claflin opened their banking house on Broad street, men -were really pleased, and gave the fair adventurers a helping hand by many a sly puff concealed under the garb of a little wholesome and good-natured ridicule. I do not think I know a man who would not admire a woman who could swim when a boat is capsized in a lake, or one who could fire a pistol when a burglar is discovered in a house. Aye, and whose feelings would not amount almost to adoration as he discovered that she whom God gave as his last best gift to man was capable ot rising to every emergency of life and proving her perfect equality in all things with himself. “ Not in vain the distance beckons” as “ through the shadow of the globe we sweep into the younger day,” old prejudices, old and senseless conventionalities are swept aside by the common sense of most. That same sober-footed dame, common sense, will, we trust, keep our progression within proper bounds, will assist us in defining the limits of the woman’s kingdom and her new-found empire, and will regulate how far each sex may invade the domain of the other without infringing upon natural rights.

W OM AN AS A N INSPIRATIO N IN H UM AN GOVERNMENT.

For woman to be denied political representation is a far fouler wrong to man than to woman herself. The children of the slaveholder were more wronged as a class than the children of the slave. The soul of a human being is given a mortal wound whenever injustice and cruelty and oppression are implanted within it as principles. So when men are educated to the idea that women are their chattels, not their equals, one of the fundamental principles of soul growth and spiritual elevation is taken away from them. We are dead in trespasses and sins of brutal selfishness when we are all deprived of our innate sense of respect and vene- tion for some human being who shall bo to us tho inspiration of our worship of the Divinity itself. Woman was given to man to be this inspir tion. Man was made to be this guiding, guardian angel to woman. The soul that ceases to love violates the first great law of creation, and cannot worship acceptably.

Marriage need not always he the seal of this love—passion should never be its motive power. The highest, holiest, purest lives lived by both men and women that, are recorded upon the scroll of history are of those wh > denied themselves the society of the opposite sex as man and wife, and lived lives of absolute personal purity. Shall we, dare we, say they did not love. The secrets of their interior lives are sometimes dimly revealed to us in some sublime expressions or acts left as “ footprints on the sands ot time" to “ guide us o’er life’s solemn main.”

These lives of such mysterious bounty, even more than tho ills we see in domestic life and society, point plainly to the truth that since our first parents were banished* from Eden the relations of the sexes toward each other have been sadly misunderstood and abased.

T h e Evening T e le g r a m o f the 12th Inst, contains the fo l

low in g :F e m in in e W o m en .— “ I think, i f I marry.” said Mr. Tem

ple. glancing acioas at Florence. “ I shall educate m y future w ife to suit tnv requirements. I like a feminine woman, and in our day when the gentler sex compete for honors at our universities, and what not, it is lim e lor men to want wives in the old sense ol the word, to have a school o f their own in which to educate them. O nly a few days ago, I read o f sinsle, married and w idow ladies having taken degrees. I grant there are some men who might like to marry a female 31. D., but I am not among the number, for I believe we have round corners which need planing and polish ing; and I hold that a woman’s tenderness and gentleness is the greatest safety a man has, and therefore I do not wish her to lose her identity in gradgrind study. L e t her be well-read by all means, but eschew com petition with men. O n ly imagine a husband and w ife go in g up to the Counting house bent on the same business. W e have hardness enough to deal with daily. W h y should women be educated in the same rough school ? G ive me rather a wom anly wife, w ho would be one w ith me in all m y pursuits; who would sympathize w ith me in all m y difficulties; who would cheer me with her honest advice; and who would beguile me from m oney-m aking by her affection ; and not a manly woman, w ho wou ld bore me w ith argument, weary me w ith her politics, or boast o f her degree.

Just so, Mr. T em p le ; you are in the same fix in w h ich a ll those men are w h o desire to dom inate over and com pel wom en to be what they w ish instead o f what th ey w ou ld otherw ise be. T h a t is ju s t w hat w e have been endeavorin g to convince you o f a ll th is t im e ; and n ow you have u n w ittin g ly exposed you r true colors, and have adm itted the fu ll truth o f a ll w e have cla im ed regard in g the determ ination o f man to release no part o f the p ow er th ey now possess o ver wom an to com pel her to his conditions on the one hand, and on the o ther to question th e ir r igh t to d eterm ine an yth ing fo r themselves. If, hap ly, w h a t wom en shall m ake o f themselves, when th ey shall have the opp ortu n ity o f choosing, does n o t happen to su it such as you, M r. T em p le , they w ill not on ly have the in fin ite satisfac

“ I shall educate m y fu tu re w ife to su it m y requ irem ents.” Just so, again, M r. T e m p le ; and th is it is you r r ig h t to do

i f you can find so s im p le and w eak a too l as to subm it to

such d eg ra d a tio n ; far be i t from us to question you r r ig h t

Y o u th ink they are subjugated to you w h ile in reality they seek every possible opportun ity to demonstrate to everybody else that they are perfectly free, and thus you are duped w h ile laborin g under the very- pleasing illusion that you have a veritab le slave to your requirements. A n d these are th e conditions you force upon those whom you m ake your w ives, because, forsooth, they must be w ives, lack ing as they do the necessary accom plishm ents to be ind iv iduals.

N o w w e w ill, by your perm ission, gentlem en Tem ples, suggest that it w ou ld be far better for you in the end to possess you rse lf o f a lit t le com m on sense, even i f you are thereby o b lig ed to part w ith a portion o f your self-com placent im portance]; and also that you w ou ld perm it those w hom you m ake your com panions to possess a litt le com m on sense o f the ir own, i f in some th ings it does not ex actly fill your requirem ents.

A s w ith “ Lothair," however, its au thor’s name g iv es to its statements and influence, a sign ificance th ey cou ld not possess on their literary merits. W h en M r.

human society at large have tw o d istinct but correlated

method;* o f obtaining know ledge, tw o different Grand

Mental Faculties, one earlier in developm ent, vague, indefi

experience o f the senses, enlarged by suggestion and con

firmed by faith -in a word. I n t u i t i o n ; the second,reflect

digested— in a word, Intellection.

There is a th ird stage o f know ledge in which the In tu i

tion and the Intellect are blended, harmonized and recon

ciled. Th is th ird stage is as yet merely incipient, is con

fined to the operation o f perhaps h a lf a dozen m inds on

the whole planet, and need not, therefore, now be dis

cus-» d. The Reconciliation o f In tu ition (Inspiration, R ev

elation and the like included) and the In tellect is to be the

dominant feature o f H igh Harm ony or the M illennial

period o f Human D eve lopm en t; but fo r the tim e being

let it be dismissed, as out o f order in the present disquisi

tion.

Freemasonry is the Institu tional Representation o f the

I n t u i t i o n a l F o r e s h a d o w i n g o f Un iverso logical Science; or

it is the Incipient and Prem ature Organ ization o f T h e

C h u r c h o f t h e R e l i g i o n o f S c i e n c e .

The Intuition has discovered occu lt bu t trem endously

important and fundamental significance in certain p rim i

tive geometrical instruments and form s— the rule, the

compass, the square, the cubic edifice or tem ple, and the

lik e ; and faith in the intu ition has cu lm inated in the In

stitution o f Freemasonry, which has erected this lit t le first

installment o f m orphology into a science o f sym bolism and

a religion o f symbolic suggestion.

The fundamental perception, herein, is, th roughout, the

govern ing importance o f r e c t u m , r i g h t - l i n i s m or s t r a i g h t

n e s s , as against that which is constantly d ev ia tin g and un

certain. Freemasonry sanctifies this idea and bu ilds a

morality and a re lig ion on it. I t is, therefore, a re lig ion o f

i n t e l l e c t u a l , o b j e c t i v e and l i t e r a l righteousness, as con

trasted w ith the m erely s e n t m e n t a l r i g h t e o u s n e s s o f the

THE INEXPUGNABILITY OF PRIME ELEMENTSAs Illustrated in the Constitution of Christendom,

Ecclesiastically — The Proximate Reconciliation of Protestants and Catholics.

T h e P r im e E lem ents o f A l l T h in gs are U n is m , D u is m , and T r in is m . T h ere are, indeed, fundam entally, no m ore

than T w o P rocesses p o s s i b l e i n t h e w h o l e u n i v e r s e , nam ely

P u t t i n g - t o g e t h e r and T a k i n g - a s u n d e r — to w h ich , how ever,

must be added the mutual, and, as i t were, h in gew ise C o

existence o f these T w o ; w h ich is, therefore, another and th ird aspect o f Being.

These three Un iversa l Processes are w h a t is m eant b y

Unism, Duism , and Trin ism . T h e p u t t i n g or the b e i n g

Unism and the Duism, w h ich alw ays accom pany each other

— the one im p ly in g and in vo lv in g the other— is w h a t is

meant b y Trin ism .

W ith o u t the presence o f these three p rincip les there can

be no Constituency, no O peration, no an y th in g ; w h eth er

in the M ateria l W o r ld , in the M ind , or in the M ovem ents

Trinism is all Real Existence, since it is that which is composed o f Unism and Duism, and since 1 nism and Duism never reallv exist apart, but on ly as abstract and, therefore, •<». rt..I factors or components. U nism and Duism are mere single aspects o f that which is essentially double in composition.

W h ile , however, Unism and Duism can never be separated, except, as it were, supposititouslv, and w h ile they consequently always coexist in the Trin ism , and thereby enter into the com position o f everyth ing, yet, nevertheless, they (.the Unism and the Duism ) can be so far partia lly separated that the one shall appear to predominate over the o th e r ; or shall exh ib it itse lf w ith a partia l subordination or exclusion o f the other and opposite princip le. H ence it comes to pass that every Object, Sphere or D om ain o f Being, M ateria l or Idea l, and every Career in T im e, presents itself, in Being, as representative more largely o f one o f these two Prim ord ia l Principles, and less so o f the other and opposite p rincip le ; and that, therefore, every such Object, Sphere, Dom ain or Career is, itself, a T yp e , or E m b od iment, or Sym bol o f one or the other o f these tw o P rin c iples ; or else o f Trin ism as the T h ird and Com pound E n tity.

I t is, then, in this sense that the O ld Catholic Church was shown, in an artic le in the last number o f th is paper, to be a pr.scntative embodiment o f Unism : Protestantism to be a presentative em bodim ent o f D u is m ; and the N e w Catholic Church to be a presentative em bodim ent o f T rin ism ; but ultimattly o f T r i unism or Integralism, which is the lia r monized Coexistence o f the Three Principles.

Unism and O ld Catholicism correspond or accord, therefore, w ith the idea o f A bsolu te A u th o r ity and Obedience,

Duism and Protestantism w ith that o f Rational P ercep tion

and Dem onstration, and so w ith F reedom o f the In te llect, and hence w ith L ibera lism ; and fina lly T rin ism and N e w

PAUPERISM AND USURY : THE REMEDIES— THE SOCIAL EVILSOF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. WHICH, IF NOT REMEDIED,THEIR FORM OF GOVERNMENT MUST NECESSARILY ALTER.

F irst, F ree Hom estead, or a sufficiency o f the soil to every Am erican citizen, a t hie heritage, o f w h ich be cannot be deprived . b y his ow n act, or by the act o f b is agent, the Congress.

Second, A sufficiency o f the m oney token, the representative o f w ealth, to every Am erican citizen, supplied on the security o f his w ea lth by bis agent, tbe Governm ent, w ith out the interposition o f m iddlem en, ca lled banks, at the cost o f tbe issue ot the token.

N o t e .— B y these provisions pauperism and usury, which oppress men m ore than a ll the other evils o f life, are erad icated.

T he propositions contained in these tw o averm ents w i l l startle the prejudices and a larm the usages o f men, and w ill arouse opposition from the fe w whose personal interest w ill b e affected b y them, in the same w a y as w hen, tow ard (be close o f the last century, the novelty o f the po litical doctrine, enunciated by the founders o f tbe Am erican Republic, struck the aristocracies o fE u ro o e w ith ind ignation and alarm , and called forth the denunciations o f orators and publicists again st the w ild and law less avowals.

Nations, like ind iv iduals, love repose, and custom, the tyran t that fetters men, w i l l not be disturbed ; the kuow l edge o f th is weakness g ives confidence to aggression, and the rights o f com m unities are filched from them gradua lly ^n der its influence. W e , as a Governm ent, are not yet a century old, and w e claim that w e are the owners o f more po litical r igh ts than a ll the w o rld besides; and in this the Am erican people are not m istaken. O u r po litical w ellare has been w e ll p rov ided for by tbe founders; parties have arisen from the interpretion put upon the true intent and m eaning o f tbe Constitution, but the political sovereignty o f the people has never been denied b y any p a r ty ; tbe task undertaken b y the fram ers w as o f the greatest m agn itude; the wisdom it requited w as excelled on ly b y tbe courage needed to undertake and accom plish the m igh ty fe a t ; and tbe Am erican citizen o f to-day m ust not com plain too luudly it the revolution achieved on ly ha lf, an d that, tbe lesser one, requisite to establish a republic , w ith perm anency as its attribute.

The social w e lfa re o f the people w as b u t little thought o f byttie founderso f the republic. Governm ental superstition, w ith its idols, w as overthrow n, b u t tae traditions connected with tbe soil, and w ith the currency o r m edium o f exchange o f the wealth o f com m unities, w ere accepted w ith fa in t in quiry, and have been suffered to rule w ithout restraint. In less than a century we witness the w ide-spread results o f this oversight. A people o f forty m illions o f citizens politica lly free, yet the laborers, sk illed aud unskilled , o f the nation, the authors o f alt its w ealth, aud tbe r igh tfu l ow n ers, beyond all proportion, o f its soil, are socially slaves A l l tbe antagonism s which old monarchies in E u rope aud Asia produce, between labor aud capital, so called, betw een the

rich and tbe poor, between concentrated wealth and concentrated poverty, are developed at large in our youthtnl republic. Tbe results are. combinations, and (-trikes, sod hostilities, and antagonism9, and pauperism, and crime, as

iprolific in our dense communities, as i f the Ban o f political reedotn h uX never sbone on the American people.

In a land o f superabundant affluence, w v h every variety o f soil, tbe most prolific o f wealth above and below its surface, intersected with lakes and rivers, and encompassed with ooeans suggestive o f perpetual interchange o f product9, with a people singularly conspicuous for d&riog thought almost superhuman action, dearth o f any o f the means of physical existence would seem impossible. Labor, tbe author o f all wealth, in sucb a community would seem to he a cherished and a prosperous inmate ; it would appear meet and natural that tbe author o f wealth, tbe sole producer, should be most especially a sharer, and if, by any mischance, an individual laborer t-bnuld become a pauper, the instance would be exceptional and almost m iraculois.

But the experience o f the American people, w ithin a term o f time less than a century» proves satisfactorily that some overru ling causes divert and neutralize these realizations: that pauperism is not the heritage o f the British or French or other European laborer a lon e ; that woman does not lay down her virtue for subsistence in lands alone which never tasted political freedom, aud that it is not the dense com ranniti s o f Antioch, or Constantinople, or Vienna, or Berlin or Dresden or Madrid, or Paris, or London, or other human bi ves, sw elteriog nuder the burden and heat o f European aDd Asiatic tyrannies, which uudergotbe summer blaze and the w inter 9torm without subrisfeuce or raiment.

The cause o f tbe wide-spread destitution o f American labor in the dense comrouuities o f the country is not attributable to the political form o f the Government. I f political freedom alone o f tbe choicest cast conld save a people from the lowest condition o f social degradation, pauperism , and that worse than pauperism , the state ol uncertainty which the Am erican laborer oscillates, then the right ot sufficient subsistence w ere guaranteed to the citizen o f either sex and ol eve iy age beyond question ; and as the inju ry is not attributable to the political compact and form o f the nation, so is tbe remedy o f the so c a l w rongs of the American laborer not to be sought for in that sphere T be vindication and fundam ental settlement o f the rights ot Am erican labor are independent ol political party , aud can be established by no other organization bu t its own, od the m otto:

“ Who would be free, themselves must strike the blow P The National L abo r Union, therefore, not attribu ting tbe

downcast condition ot the people w ho live by labor to polit ical party , seek not the redress of that condition by the in strnm entality o f political party . They are in this momentous eugayem eot neither Dem ocrats nor R epublicans: nor do they ask nor w ill they accept the co-operation o f R epublicans or o f Democrats, as sucb, but w ill strike hands in cord ia l am ity aud brotherhood w ith every American citizen w ho unites w ith them iu ihe arduous enterprise o f laying the pedim ent o f social w elfare tow ard the close o f the nineteenth century beside the foundation stone o f the political welfare o f the Am erican people, deeply set and with blood cemented tow ard the clo>e o f the century preced ing, in order that by the ju st distribution o f social as o f political rights, the equ ilibrium o f the republic m ay be established, and its existence be perpetuated.

T be mode p f redress and o f the future prevention of pauperism and usury— the tw in evils which crush Am erican labor— consists in tbe doctrine o f a sufficiency or tbe soil, the foundation source o f a ll physic«! sustenance to every Am erican citizen, o f either sex and o f every age. as heritage and as a right, o f which he cannot be deprived by b is own act or by that o f bis agent, the Government, on the m axim th at ind iv idual pauperism is pnblic infirm ity, and must be prohibited for tbe common w e lfa re ; that tbe citizen shall not be a llow ed to be a pauper, not merely for his ow n sake, bu t on the h igher ground o f the iu jury thereby done to the community ; that tbe ballot in the hand o f : pauper is a bauble, in the hand o f a freeholder a scepter that ind iv idual freehold is eternal vigilance. These reasons, cogent and conclusive, w ith others o f equal value which can be quoted, demonstrate beyond question that the wide-spread pauperism o f the Am erican laborer, the me ebanic, the artisau, who constitute the vast ma jority o f the nation, creating its wealth and electing its officers, in whose bands is the Governm ent absolutely when they undertake to control it, in self-defence, has assumed an aspect o f national com plexion, which cannot be temporized w ith any longer, and w h ich demands bow a fundam ental settlement Free homestead, so dear to Am erican sentiment, in contradiction to tbe form idable fraud o f an agent, who sqanders the heritage o f the citizens iu inordinate grants to plundeiera, and who doles out bis patrim ony, in sm all dimensions, the righ tfu l ow ner o f the soil, for cash paym ents, and other term s and conditions that render the conveyance a nullity, and the transaction a delusion, em powered b y legislation which is the prolific parent o f perjuries and o f fiauds, free homestead, w e say, to every Am erican citizen w ho needs it, o f either .-«ex and o f any age, on rules sim ple and practical, w hich take from present owners nothing that belongs to them , yet g ive from a superabundant and a prolific soil sufficiency thereof for ind iv idua l sustenance, according to standard o f r igh t w h ich w ill he self-operating alw ays, the rem edy in the first and ch ief instance o f Am erican pauperism .

Tbe second aodthe cognate course which oppresses Amerv can'labor is the money system o f tbe Government, which absorbs all its profit; that system transmutes money—the representation o f the wealth o f the people— into mock merchandise, which is bought aud sold at heavier charges tbap the substantial merchandise and other wtalth o f the nation o f wnich money is merely the representative. This is tbe fountain source o f mooey interest, os it is called, or usury, as is its proper appellative, whetber that usury be exorbitant or otherwise, o f which the American Congress is the author, by delivering tbe money, when made, iuto the cou trot and disposal of a few middlemen, called, under cover a figure o f speech, baukB.

Banks im pede instead o f facilitating commerce, as they claim ; it is their interest to do so ; the m ore they hold the medium o f exchange oi the mo. ey token w ith in their grasp, the m ore they extort in order to loosen i t ; the money fam ilies o f commerce are tbe money harvests o f banks, aud tbe present profits which banks reap from tbe control o f the currency delegated to them by tne Congress w ou ld pay the annual expenses o f the Governm ent, and erase a \ roportion ul the pub lic debt piogre>sively.

T be Am ericau Governm ent is a ban k o f issue; it undertakes tbe expeuse aud responsibility o f the issue o f the money token needed to transact the vast, the countless domestic traffic o f the Am erican people; that issue is sanctified w ith the. impress oi the em blem and the honor ot the nation. Im m ateria l w hat tbe substance is upon which the

impress is made, it is the law ful medium of the exchange of this vast traffic, and has therefore the absolute cootrol and direction o f the entire wealth or substance of the American people. To delegate that issue to a few men called banks -- a fearful venture. It is a dangerous and a cosily enterprise. The guards attempted to be thrown around this mighty responsibility are oroof o f a guilty knowledge of the legislation that does this fearful thing. Results are a sure test o f the truth o f statements; revulsions, panics, suspensions, contractions, inflations, insolvencies, bankruptcies, gold gamblings, loans, debts, tariffs, taxation« and an incongruous mass of vapid legislation in th» way of funding bills, to cicatrize tbe cancer— legislation as rotten as tbe disease it pretends to cure— are the spawn begot by the connection o f the banks with the currency o f commerce since the foundation of the Government— the best bank- plundered people in history.

The American Government is a bank of issne. National banks are authorized by law to obtain this issue and di*. pense it upon terms among the people. They nre middlemen between the Government anil the citizen. I f tbe Congress who have eoacted this middleman system were calted on for a reason whv, they conld adduce none except tbat banks are the fashion as well in America as in England, with this difference— that the Parliaments in England are the arbiters of the m ode; in America their Congresses are the slaves.

The labor o f the country can herein see how its profits are absorbed b y tbe system o f usury thus established by Congress, either in ignorance or corruption.

The doctrine o f political power being inherent in a sovet eign and an aristocratic Parliament, against which a success* fu l rebellion was enacted at tbe c»ose of the last century, can be as easily defended as for the Government of a people to ju stify the delegation o f the custody and management of the money token, wnicb renresents tbeir whole wealth, to a small body o f men, couched under cover o f a figure of speech and termed a bank. Men possessed o f this power necessarily pi u oder.

T be remedy o f the evil, the giant evil, is simple. The American Government is a bank of issue; this power is aa attribute oi sovereignty, and cannot be delegate! no more than c m a legislation ; let the G ivernment, by a bureau ap pA nted to that eud, d sc >arge all ihe functions of tbe issue and o f its lo an s ; it is the right o f the citizen to obtain Irotn his agent the token or representative o f his wealth on tbe credit of the wealth, adjusted in amount according to value by law , at th*» cost merely o f its production. No iuterest, no usury— that curse and ruin o f natioos and peoples, which feeds the blindest, the most i satiate and the most besotted appetite o f man s vileat nature, denounced by reason and by religion, by Pagan sages, by Christian saints, as well as by the Arabian imposter in bis purest idiom

Thus, associates o f tbe National L ibor Union and fellow- citizens ot Missouri, w e lav before you a brie f statement of the wrongs under which American labor suffers, by force of aso c ia l and commercial and monetary system, vicious and rotten from the foundation, and putrifying the very body of the Republic. T be remedies we prescribed are obvious and simple As novelties they are startling, and the more so because 1hey eradicate and scatter superstition, which fain would sanctify certain social creeds. W e have little faitb, however, io a monetary system that exists principally on a belie f called credit, aud which, like other false beliefs, has m any costly temples, wherein are mysteries; we acknowledge the money power and h ive only irresistible reasoning and five millions o f voters, American laboters, workm en, artisans and mechanics to oppose to it; men who who can discover a public enemy in tbe person o f a foreign foe when landing upon our shores, as in tbe war o f 1812, or in the form ot a perfidious and subtle system of finance that strips labor o f bis raiment and turns out his cbildreu hung ry upon tbe highways, as in the year o f grace 1870.

W ith a soil superabundant and productive beyond compare, w e can account for tbe pauperism o f American citizens by the million, in no other manner but that o f tne guilty mode in which it is given aw ay g ra t is ; iu the mid>t of such affluence o f land, the source o f a ll wealth, when created by the magic touch ot labor, an American pauper is, in our view , an absurdity. He isthe product o f a peculiar subtlety o f Am erican legislation, or the illegitim ate descendant of E nglish feudalism w thout th= shelter o f a poor-law.

T be Congress should learn, or be taught, that idleness is the product of nothingness and casts its slough in the sunlight o f ownership; that labor is a necessity, although it varies ind iv idually in amount and q u a lity ; that to compel it by poverty is a crime and to encourage it by sufficiency is statesmanship stamped with ju stice ; that a sufficiency of the soil and individual enterprise are natural allies, and that the beneficial íesults o f their jo in t action are endless and ‘ncalculable; that sufficiency invades no man’s rightml possessions. Th is is the soul aud kernel o f the great cause. That sufficiency affects tbe acquirements o f no man’s industry or qualification. That the idle are not fed by the bread o f the industrious, for w ith sufficiency he has no excuse nor motive to be idle. That sufficiency is the friend not the enemy o f surplus wealth, as to resist aggression is not aggression. T hat vain is the surmise tbat the business of life stagnates, i f there be not artificial as w ell as natural inequality am ong men, and tbat by the irresistible power of surplus wealth, w ithout sufficiency for the needy, lite, instead o f being an ordered feast, is a scramble.

CURI0C3 DISCUSSION IN THE LIBERAL CLUB— TOE WOMAN

QUESTION IN A NEW LIGHT.

At tlie meeting o f the New Y'ork L ibera l Club, held on Wednesday evening, Professor J. K. H. W ilcox, o f W ashington, read a paper on “ W oman’s Sphere,” the question being especially treated in reference to the relation between population and suffrage.

Professor W ilcox, after alluding to the greatness o f the subject, said lie would treat it purely in a scientific and logical way, but begged his auditors to rem em berthat feelings, emotions and sentiments were among the largest facts o f human nature. “ The sphere o f man and woman always has been different as far back as the mind-eye o f hum anity can reach. Man with strength o f muscle, calm, solid and sready o f nerve; woman, formed for fineness, liv e ly and w ith high- strung, easily affected nerves, the path o f each has always been different. You may instance examples in contravention o f the statement, where women have outdone men in manly work and vice versa. W ere these the on ly differences bet ween woman’s sphere and that o f man, 1 need not speak on the subject at all. A ll through the past, brute force, the power o f the man, has shoved the woman to the w all. A t periods o f woman’s life she cannot earn her own liv in g , and thus this constant dependence on man's favor w lic h has shaped woman’s acts to man’s desire she ca lling to her aid a ll the resources oI art, and the subtle w it o f her nature. H ow history teems w ith the failure ot these Bpells, and how many women have been ruined by seeking to captivate. This dependence on man tor the v e ry necessaries o f life makes them struggle to ga in his protection, and such efforts have robbed their minds o f culture needed ia other directions, and made their weakness worse. T h ey are taught first to please and then to obey. As society grow s o lder and population denser, other desires o f pleasure beyond that of having oflspring occupy a share o f the tim e and capacity o f both sexes, and the wish for childien as w e ll as the power to procreate, has decreased. The practice o f child-murder, though lessened, reappears in another form , w ith different means and at an earlier period. The mothers o f g irls merely teach them all that can attract and please desirable men, in fuluro to be their husbands. The woman, who having nothing else, sells herself fo r bread, finds an undreamed agony in carry ing out her bargain , from which she escapes by child-murder or child neglect. W ith ou t regard to means o f support, men pioduce children who must beg, steal or starve. The laborer th inks the w orld is “ aw a muddle,” when bis trouble rea lly is th a t he has forced his w ife to bear children whom he cannot feed or educate, and whose existence is at the bottom o f three-fourths o f all social distress. Government attem pts to educate and feed such children are a waste o f tim e, m oney and strength ; th ey hut encourage recklessness on the part o f the fa th er w ho feels that the lich— that is, those more prudent than h im self — are taxed to pay for the results o f his iudulgence. [A p plause | The fate o f women who, being desirous o f m arriage, do not accomplish it, is s till worso. Seek ing em ployment, they find very few occupations open to them, an.l the price o f w hat litt le work there is for them, amouuts to barely sufficient to sustain life. Law s deny to wom en the control o f the ir own persons, p ropeity and children, and enable men to oppress, deceive and cheat them in eve ry way. Politic ians care not fo r th e ir wishes or desires, for women have no p o litica l power. T he practice o f cram m ing g irls a t academies to repeat useless verses, and separating them from the companionship o f the opposite sex, begots ignorance arid curiosity, and is eve ry way to be condemned. A il facts being considered, the protection o f man to woman is greatly th a t o f the w o lf to the lamb. H ere I m igh t stop, having ascertained that the largest lib e rty is the sure-t happiness. But how is th is freedom to be guarded from invasion? I answer by woman su ffrage; b y g iv in g her the sau.e m<ans to make her p ow er te lt and respected that others have. T he Quakers o f Pennsylvania , who possess the ballot, do not vote, y e t e ve ry politic ian in Pennsylvania dare not adopt a measure which would insu lt or in jure the Friends, for so surely would the Quakers theu vo te and destroy the politicians’ power. R em ove the lega l restrictions from women, and their wishes w ill be respected and the ir inteiests guarded by the politic ians who seek their votes, employment w ill he open to them at fa ir rates, no woman w ill marry but from affection, the b irth o f predestined paupers, criminals, lunatics aud id ions w ill alm ost disappear, and excuse for Government education w ill be rem oved.” [App lause.]

The Chair then announced th a t th e question and the paper were open for discussion.

Mr. Charles Moran sa id : “ I t g ives me v e ry grea t p leasure to speak in reference to the paper which has ju s t been read, fo r the present is the only instance 1 can rem em ber w here the lectuiv.r alluded to the im perfect education, an education worse than useless, which women freq u en cy rece ive, an education which, lustead o f fittin g them lo r the ir sphere in life , degrades, stultifiies and unfits them. I do n o t cou- wder that suffrage as applied to wom en w ill be o f any use i

for. in my opinion, suffrage is a farce o f the first water. Look at France ; what is the condition o f her people who possess suffrage I Take this country, where there is suffrage form en : what good does it do I Is there a moro corrupt, misgoverned country on the face o f the earth? Are not spies everywhere ?— are we not alraid to do anyth ing save to speak? And do you think, do you believe, do you ask others to think aod believe as w e ll as yourself that the form o f Government by suffrage, which fails to ennoble the sterner sex, man, w ill realize the ennoblement o f tho weaker, less powerful and more delicate sex— wom an? No, gentlemen ; woman’s true sphere, woman’s noblest sphere, is in the bosom o f her borne, ednoutiug her children for their future lite. And here the question o f woman’s needed education falls easily into its proper place. B y woman’s education I do not mean the education o f the fashion, ephemeral, gauzy— the education which dresses up a g ir l to catch a bus- band depending on tbo fatoitous hope that bIio may acquire her true education, that o f the w ife and mother, a fter she enters upon married life. I do not moan tho education which le.iras girls to simper and g igg le , dawdle through a waltz, lisp bad Freiioh and Tuppers p o e try ; but I mean the nobler education o f womanhood — the education which teaches woman the duties o f a w ife , the responsibilities o f a mother. The education which enables a woman to teach her children their duty and w ork iu after life— that is tho true education. YVoinan, w ith her tender love and w iuu ing ways, can better teach in fancy than those who adopt sterner measures and stronger discipline. H er lessons are remembered, not lik e those learned under the influence o f fea r or com pulsion; one endures, the other is remembered, parrot-like, for the moment, and that only. Believe me, gentlem en, woman’s sphere is as I have stated, iu her home, am ong her household gods, where alone she can exercise a beneficient influence on the generation to fo llow her, and not in the noisy, turbulent arena o f politica l lite .” [A p p lau se .]

Mr. Stephen Pearl Andrews said : “ W ith Mr. Moran I fee l great pleasure in com mending the paper read b y Professor W ilc o x ; and th a t portion o f i t in reference to the education o f women meets my especial commendation. The science o f social life is a great one, a science o f o verw he lm in g in terest, aud one which was unknown until a fe w years ago. Libera lism fostered and cu ltiva ted it under the t it le o f sociology. L ib era l ideas have grow n w ith its g ro w th ; and now thinkers can express th e ir free thoughts cn th e subje c t w ithou t being deiided as fanatics and denounced as men o f bad character and inclinations. F ifte en years ago I was stigm atized as the w orst man in the com m unity, because I dared to speak as I thought about the re lations o f the sexes. The part o f Professor W ilc o x ’s paper w h ich a lludes to oluldren o f puuy grow th , both p hysica lly and menta lly , children unhealthy and liab le to d ie at any m o m en t; recalls my idea. I t is the idea to w h ich the w orld , sooner or later, must arrive— stirp icu ltu re, or the cu ltiva tion o f man — the moans b y which, instead o f delicate, unhealthy, id io t ic male and fem ale children, a race o f g ian ts in flesh, muscle and m ind, m ay he produced. In p la in words, the idea is th a t the human race he procreated on ly by the physica lly and m en*ally best o f both sexes, aud tha t th e in fe r io r represen tatives o f th e human race, fo r the benefit o f th e whole, deny them selves the gratifica tion o f the indu lgence o f th e ir passions. H o w preposterous, you say. I say not. Tho plan is n o t visionary . H erm its have liv e d their lon g lifetim es in a ce liba te cond ition ; the O neida com m unity is an exam p le o f the fact that passions can be restrained. P h ys io log ica l science has h itherto fa iled to show th a t a p ro lon ged ce liba te l i fe on the part o f man is an im poss ib ility , and th e id ea is ga in in g ground am ong a ll th in k in g peop le. I t is a grand, feasib le and beneficia l one— grand, fo r m its accom plishm ent the w elfare o f hum anity is in te re s ted ; feasib le, because nu reason can he adduced against i t ; and benefic ia l, because its success, i f a tta ined , w i l l resu lt in th e production o f a race o f men and women fa r above tn e present race both in mind and body.” [A p p lau se .]

Mr. Orm-iby; “ In reference to the p ap orrea d by P rofessor W ilcox , the conclusion he draw s f>om it, and the rem arks o f the geutlom en who h ave spoken befo re m e in re ference to it, I beg to d iffer from them on some poin ts. In th e first place, I do not b e lie ve th a t th e state o f dependence on man by wom en w il l be so much reduced b y g iv in g her suffrage, that she w ill enter the fie ld o f m a trim on y so d is in terested ly as represented. I th ink it w il l be som ew hat l ik e the youn g lady who, on b e in g asked w h eth er she w ou ld lo v e a rich old man and m arry h im fo r his m oney alone, rep lied : ‘ W e ll, I wou ldn ’t do t h a t ; hut I ’d n ever lo v e a man w h o hadn ’t got m oney.’ [L a u g h te r . ] As fo r Mr. A n d rew s ' v iew s abou t celibacy and restra in ing o f passions, I do n o t b e lie ve the O neida Com m unity system could w ork , because th e id ea o f th a t system is repugnant aud unnatura l in itse lf. The question, no doubt, is a g rea t one, bu t i t requ ires grea t trea tm en t; and th e means M r. A n d rew s p ro poses seems to m e to be h a rd ly p racticab le . As to Mr. M oran ’s g lo w in g v in d ica tion o f hom e aud household gods and a ll that, I don ’t b e lie ve th a t so m any women would run a fte r th e ir hom e i f th ey g o t a chance to do otherw ise. N ow , ad m ittin g fo r the purposes o f th e a rgum ent, tha t woman as a class is in s la very , take th e m any women w h o now fo llo w art, pa iu tin g , s ing ing , a c tin g , lite ra - tu ie, etc. I f thqse women had p er fe c t l ib e it v , i t is ex trem ely probable th ey w ou ld con tinue iu th e ir o ld lo v e and not trouble M r. M oran ’s v is io n a iy home much. Oue p o lu t, iu reference to the s la very o f wom en and th e ty ran n y o f men to ward the w eaker sex, 1 w ish to a llu de to. I n eve r heard o f a th ie f o r a crim in a l o f any k in d p ick a p ock et or rob a hank but th a t the grea ter p a rt o f th e p lunder w as g iv e n to a wom an, who, w ith t lie custom ary iu g ra titu d e o f h er sex, geu era lly b etrayed her beu efactor aud handed h im o ve r to the police.” [L a u g h te r . ]

A m em ber then called upon M r. W akem an , w h o dec lin ed to offer auy lem arks. T h e m em ber said i t w as n o t p roper fo r Mr. W akem an to e x h ib it a w om an ’s m odesty.

Mr. W akeinau then said : ‘ ‘ I t w as not a w om an ’s m odesty which m ade m e hesita te, b u t ra th er m an's b igo try .

or the governm ent is formed o f them ; and. to reduce the whole question to a word, tho situation becomes that o f Positivism , uuder which woman bolds the nonlest, most exalted, purest place. Bu t one question, which I had e x pected Mr. Andrews would allude to, but to which he has not— the production o f children w ithou t moans for their support. T he subtle linder-curront o f li fe is lovo. I w ilt not particularize, as Mr. Andrews has done, but w ill le t m y expression stand. The question, tho grea t absorbing question, is this : T o teach the people, the laborers, the workers, their d i ty in the con flict between poverty and lo v e ; to teach them that, in producing children w ith ou t the expectation o f hav ing means to support the ir offspring, they are wrong. [A pp lau se .] Procreation increases m a geom etrical ratio ; tho provision fur tho children increases in an arith metical one. [M r. Moran —I t ’s not so ; it th a t were th e case we would uot be h ere.] I t is so; the theory o f Mai thus is right, anil must he right. T o teach the people, therefore, that the production o f pauper ch ildren is w ron g and^ des tructive to the w elfare o f hum anity, is righ t. H o w is i t to be done? That is the question. A means not ropugnant nor unnatural, v e t uot d op iiv in g the race o f its functions, must he adopted and tlie people taught, its use. I agree w ith Mr. Orinsby that, the syBt m o f the O neida Com m unity is im practicable. Bu t the system now so gen era lly adopted am ong the French people is feasible and useful, and seems to be the on ly one which can ho used. I a llude to the system by preconceptive moans. Th is question, day by day assuming a greater aspect and engag in g the a tten tion o f a ll thinkers, must be solved sooner or later, th a t the human race be benefited and re lieved .

A fte r an able speech from Mr. G ardiner the discussion closed.

T H E R E IG S OF T H E IN T E R N A L

In the very heart o f European civilization , is in magnificent progress. From the Vosges mountains to the plain o f Chalons the masses o f a cu ltivated and c iv ilized people are rushing in the w ild delirium o f manslaughter to repeat the b loody crimes o f barbarism.

The crimes for which the solitary m alefactor is hunted down by the minions o f the law, and brought to the ga llows or the gu illotine, arc now enacted by m illions in open day w ith resounding music, w ith pomp, tinsel and parade, and the mock-heroic affectation o f patriotic love o f countrv — while the rest o f the w orld looks on w ith eager pleasure and apparent satisfaction, as the fierce Pagans o f Rom e looked down upon their b loody g lad ia toria l arena.

Can it be that tw o thousand years o f apparent literary c iv iliza tion have not yet subdued this wolfish th irst for b lood i Can it be that Christendom, as it is called, is still essentially the same as Heathendom, and that the Church o f Christ, as it claims to be, is still in as strict accord w ith the lawless bullet and bayonet as the Rom an deities were w ith the jave lin and small sword T

It is even so. T h e Church floats in the b lood y waves o f war, and wielcJS a con tro lling influence over the m inds o f the red-handed warriors, but not fo r one moment does she raise the w h ite banner o f peace, or say to the frenzied m ultitude that they are all brothers, and that they are tramplin g on every holy precept o f religion . N o ; the thunders o f the Vatican are silent, and the voice o f the Protestant Church is dumb before these m igh ty crimes. H er soul is not m oved by the s igh t o f rivers o f human b lood or legions o f w idow s and orphans. T h e m igh ty heart-throb o f the Protestant Church is not fe lt in such tim es as these — but it is fe lt— aye, it tingles to the remotest lim bs o f the Church when some question o f p riestly robes o r Church candles is brought on the carpet 1

A n d what does the “ M odel R epub lic” th ink w h ile lib erty and hope are being drowned in b lood t T h e great republic that looks on so calm ly at the Cuban horrors w h ich it could arrest w ith one majestic w ave o f its m a iled hand, looks w ith equal p lac id ity upon the grander crimes on the Continent. N o w ord fo r peace— no remonstrance against th is barbarism is heard from Am erica. N o , n o ; th e horseman still smokes his everlasting cigar, and the Congress which is supposed to represent the peop le received the declaration o f war, not w ith solem nity or sadness or silent

horror, but w ith ga iety and applause, as men applaud a race or a cockfight.

Is there no better news than this 1 H as hum anity deserted our planet— and are w e all to h ow l w ith d e ligh t as the peasantry o f France and Prussia are d y in g w ith a ll the horrid sufferings o f m angled lim bs 1

N o ! there is one still small vo ice heard in the in tervals o f the roaring cannon. I t is not from the Church— it is not from the colleges o f litera ry culture— it is not from the boastfu l Am erican champions o f human rights. I t is from the sufferers on whose neck the ga llin g yoke has rested— it is from the fraternally banded w ork ingm en o f Europe— the I n t e r n a t i o n a l W o r k i n g m e n ’s A s s o c i a t i o n . In

France, in Germ any and in E ng lan d the members o f this society reach out the hand o f in ternational friendsh ip and denounce this w ar as a crime.

I t is to them w e must look to procla im the brotherhood o f man and continue the proclam ation until o ver the battle-fields o f Europe they shall establish a confederation o f

hearts and o f governm ents th a t w ill render w ar an im possib ility .

Bu t not alone fo r you is th is task, oh, noble-hearted to ilers o f the o ld w orld . Y o u are in the van o f the m ovement, but a m igh ty host w ill soon ga th er to your aid.

T h e W o m e n o f A m e r i c a w ill soon jo in the ir voices w ith yours, and demand that the bayonet shall be buried

w ith the tom ahawk and scalping-knife. W e shall not rela x our efforts until the dum b mouths th a t have been ga gged and sealed in the presence o f governm ents and laws shall be opened, and shall be heard in condem nation o f the b loody brutalities w ith w h ich men m ake h istory.

T h e tim e shall ye t com e when, i f men w ill insist on in d u lg in g their felon ious passions on the battle-fie ld , there shall be a female arm y to rush between the contending hosts and teach them to lay dow n the ir dead ly weapons and learn the forgotten lesson o f human brotherhood.

W om en o f Am erica 1 do you realize the m agn itude and the nearness o f th is question ? D o you realize that all hopes o f human redem ption from p ove rty and to il arc vain so long as war is a llow ed am ong men ? T h e accumulations o f one generation are never even com pleted before w ar comes along lik e a prairie fire, consum ing our wealth, f il l in g the land w ith orphanage and poverty , and load in g the surv ivors w ith taxes that make poverty hopeless. T h e c iv i lization o f the w orld , w ere it not for war, w ou ld soon m ake a scene o f beauty and w ealth in w h ich p overty w ou ld disappear, and in which woman, surrounded by a nobler and gentler race o f beings, w ou ld occupy the sphere w h ich is g iven her now in poetry alone.

The dawn of woman’s power upon the horizon of politi-

j cal history w ill be contemporaneous w ith the sunset o f martial g lory. H er smiles shall paralyze cannon and forts,

' and the bayonet shall be turned aside by the fa n !

WANTED—AN EXAMPLE!

. W e are pleased to notice that the members o f “ T he Southern W om en's Bureau" propose ag ita tin g the Dress Reform w hich we have already inaugurated. T h ey are

, convinced that i f women cou ld be persuaded to adopt business suits and spend the hours now devoted to the to ilet in mental and m oral im provem ent, there w ou ld be less cause o f com plaint from men o f wom en 's indifference to routine work, and certain ly less ground fo r the hue and cry o f a certain class o f women against the tyranny and oppression o f the masculine sex.

T h e term “ business suits" does not im p ly any particu lar dress or uniform, nor w ill the possessorsliip o f such a ga rment necessitate any outlay o f money. T h e mere abandonment o f one-third o f the paraphernalia that constitutes a fashionable costume w ill present to us that fo r w h ich we have been p in in g so long, and g iv e to the w o r ld w hat the Southern W om en 's Bureau deserve cred it fo r encouraging — sim plic ity and unostentation in the dress o f in te lligen t working-wom en.

N ow , this is as it should b e ; but th is is not all. WTiymust the reform he urged only upon those women who seek situations ? I f i t is good fo r some is it not good fo r all ? W e dare not deny that the lo ve o f dress is the grand obstacle to be overcom e in the w ork o f progress. So w e call upon every righ t-m inded, sensible woman to do as the Bureau has done, strike w ith us at the root o f our Social E c il— nay, more— let every one o f these wom en exem p lify her teaching. She must rem em ber that no precept, h ow ever good ,

can accom plish its purpose i f it is fla tly con trad icted by the practice w h ich accompanies it. N o ; our advocates o f Reform must becom e exponents o f the ir doctrines. T h is course a lw ays has been and always w ill be the one grand secret o f success; any o ther on ly p rovokes adverse critic ism . A serm on upon s im plic ity , fo r exam ple, becom es farcica l when the exhorter is tr ick ed out in hoops, pan ier and jau n ty hat. Just consider the startling, and im agine John B r ig h t pu ttin g a curly feather in his cap. o r our n eighbor o f the

Independent snatching a last fon d glance at the m irror be- fose clearing his m anly th roa t fo r a six-hours’ speech. Y e t

neither o f these fancies cou ld be m ore absurd than are the

pos itive realities o f our day and generation. So, p ine no more, sweet ladies o f the Bureau, pine no more, bu t g iv e us an example o f s im p lic ity and unostentation. M .

FOREWARNED—FOREARMED.

In the even t o f the present w ar in E urope becom ing general, as i t must, should the Repub lican elements o f Spain and Ita ly , H u n gary and P o la n d rise, and find it possible to act in accord w ith France, w h o can te ll h ow far i t m ay be the du ty o f th is country to becom e a p a rt ic ipant ? In our s tru ggle fo r lib erty , the good swords and soldiers o f France assisted us ve ry m ateria lly in consumm ating the final defeat o f Cornwallis. I t was proffered as

sistance tha t w e needed, and i t w a s g iv en in. the cause o f freedom and o f R ep u b lican institutions. Shou ld the R e publicans o f E urope now attem pt to establish a lik e form o f governm ent, and should they need such assistance as France ga ve us, i t w ou ld be assistance rendered the in ev itable course o f events fo r us to return the service w e re

ceived , w ith com pound interest added i f necessary. - A t all events our navy shou ld be put upon a w ar foo t

ing, and shou ld be increased so th a t it cou ld b id defiance to the w orld . In a general European w ar in w h ich we m igh t interfere, such a navy w ou ld be the d ec id in g e lement. W e shall not understand our destiny nor perform our part in the great dram a o f c iv iliza tion i f w e do not assume the con tro llin g position a llo tted to us. W e are the pos itive p ow er o f the w orld and the m ost advanced representative o f c iv iliza tion . W h y should w e not recogn ize it, and not shuffle o ff the do-noth ing p o lic y that has fettered us o f late, so that w e do not m ove, even when our citizens are outraged in other countries. W e qu ie tly aw a it reparation fo r the depredations o f an A labam a, and fo rge t that

despotism sought to fasten its e lf in A m erica when c iv il w ar para lyzed us; both o f w h ich were bu t parts o f the same program m e lo o k in g u ltim ately to the dow n fa ll o f our institutions and the substitution o f m onarchy therefor. E ng lan d and France, or rather V ic to r ia and N apoleon , d iu not hesitate to take advantage o f our con d ition to a id in our destruction. Shall we, whose cause w ou ld be that o f a h igh er c iv iliza tion , hesitate to take advan tage o f any fortu itous conditions in to w h ich E urope m ay be thrown to spread our c iv iliza tion ? W e do not advocate in terference unless the s tru ggle n ow go in g on shall resolve itself in to a w ar o f R epublics against M onarchies. O ur du ty then is plain.

C e n t r a l iz a t io n o r P o w e r .— I n whatever quarter ami for w hatever purposes there la an effort made to centralization that is not in the direct interests o f the people we shall at a ll times oppose. Noth ing o f public importance which is for the advantage o f the common people, and which depends upon the public patronage for support should be allowed to contribute to the special interests o f iudivuuals by levy ing upon the public. Th is question arises under the consideration that there are continuous efforts being made to consolidate immense railroad interests, and to form such combinations o f various companies as w ill be most successful in ge ttin g most o f tlio people’s money for the services they require. There is no siugle interest so diffused over the whole country as that o f railroads; and none that can compare in extent o f power, i f i t acts as ono system and together. It would be a pow er that could almost defy the General Government. Being so diffused, and o f so much importance to the well-being and developm ent o f tbe country ns a whole, and to tlio convenience o f the people as individuals, Cougresa w ill fa il in one o f its most imperative duties i f it fails to take hold o f this matter, and to so arrange it that it w ill be productive o f the greatest good to the greatest number a t the least possible expense.

W h a t ’s i n a N a m e ?— V ery much in d eed ; and the manufacturer who h its on the r igh t name for liis article, has already h a lf made his fortune. W e w ere reminded o f this princip le in trade by notic ing the fortuuato baptismal designation which E. P. Needham and Sun (o f 143, 145 and 147, East 23d street) have bestowed upon the P ipe and Reed Organ which th ey manufacture. T he call i t T h e S il v f .r

T o n g u e O r g a n ; and w e should not be surprised, i f in addition to the in trinsic excellence and value o f their instrument, the selection o f this beau tifu l name should go far to determ ine and augm ent the success o f their business.

These manufacturers also publish a v e ry neat Trade Organ, from N ew York and New Orleans, called “ The Silver Tongue and O rgan ist’s R epertory ,” sample numbers o f which w ill ho sent free to any address. Each number contains some fine musical selection, and much other matter of in terest and importance.

John M agw ire, o f St. Louis, Mo., a t Masonic H a ll, in th a t c ity . W o commend it as w orth y a v e ry carefu l p eru sa l; for upon the principles enunciated, society m ast be reconstructed before freedom and equa lity can ex is t except in name. I t w ill be remembered th a t w e have earnestly exhorted the laboring classes to m ake jud icious selections for candidates from among those who understand the true relations between labor and capital, and the shortest rem edies for ex is tin g ills. Those who m ake a dea l o f noise about them, w ithou t proposing remedies, are useless to the cause, and a ll such should be eschewed. Those who have remedies to propose should he listened to ; and i f they be reasonable, feasible and honorable try them ; bo ld a ll that is found good, discard a ll that cannot benefit.

The excitem ent occasioned by the w ar news has caused a dispatch from U tah this m orn ing to re ce ive less than its due share o f notice, and its sign ificance to be overlookcJ. Its ta tes th a tth e Mormon women gen era lly voted a t the election held last week fo r delegate Co Congress, w h ich resulted in the overw helm in g re-election o f the able and eloquent W illinm H. Hooper. T h e fo llo w in g is a summary o f the history o f the m atter :

In tho sprii g o f 1868, Professor J. K . H . W illcox , in organ izing fo r the U n iversa l Franchise Association a v igorous campaign in favor o f woman suffrage— which resulted in the in troduction o f the S ixteenth Am endment, the hill for tho enfranchisem ent o f women in the D is tric t o f Columbia, the la w equ a liz in g the pay o f women and men in the Departments, and an exten sive ag ita tion — having resolved to use a ll p roper means to posh the movement, proposed as one measure to urge tb e passage o f a law enfranchising the women o f the Territories, thus m aking these regions a turning p o in t in the struggle, as they had been in that over em ancipation and negro suffrage. H av in g fixed on this as part o f the program m e, it struck him th a t the condition o f Utah offered grounds fo r a strong plea, as a ll efforts to suppress polygam y had u tte r ly and ludicrously failed. This v iew he comuiuuicated to Mrs. Josephine 8. Griffing, President o f the M anagers o f the Association, who concurred w ith him that enfranchisement was the w ay to b reakup polygam y.

H o qu ie tly and care fu lly matured the proposition, and persuaded ex-Governor Ashley, o f Montana, then chairman o f the House Com m ittee on T e ir ilo r ie s , to call a special m eeting o l the com m ittee fo r the purpose o f hearing argument, on the petition o f the Association and the hill o f Hon.G. W . Julian.

On Feb. 27, 1869, th is m eeting was held. B y a misunderstanding as to the hour, tho on ly members present were Gov. Ashley, Han. Shelby M. Cullom , o f Illin o is (n ow chairman), and Hon. Julius Hotchkiss, o f N ow H aven , Conn. A number o f io v iie d guests also attended. Professor W illcox urged the enfranchisement ot women in the Territories as g iv in g them greater security o f person and property, thus holding out inducements to wom en to em igrate, and in this w ay correct the unequal d istribu tion o f the sexes. O f Utah ho rem arked th a t eve ry e ffo rt to destroy polygam y, which

Mr. Hooper visited Utah, and explained to his coostitoentsacd friends the advantages of the proposition, and nrged them to take the bold step of adopting the measure tl.e.nselves. as an off-set totheCnllnm hill of jxains and penalties on polygamists. He al-o urged that it won id be an avowal ot confidence in the system, and in their women, which must arrest attention favorably.

Last winter, at the suggestion of Mr. WileuX, Miss Susan

There are periods in our existence when the emotions o f mouths are crowded into moments— brief moments o f v iv id and th r illin g emot ion— as when w e first look upon a beautifu l landscape or a rare picture— when w e unexpected ly m eet a long absent friend, or when w e are surprised by- a strain o f d iv in e musio. Such was m y experience when I first stood in the august presence o f N iagara. W hen the exquisite/ayarfe o f a splendid p ile o f arch itecture broke upon m y unexpected vision , when in a terrific sea storm I gazed o ver the tem pest-driven waters, and when I first looked upon the weird beauty o f Bonaventura.

One summer even in g a p a rty o f us had d riven out from Savannah, o ve r the fiue shell road, to v is it a friend on the Is le o f H ope. On retu rn ing w e turned ab ru p tly in to a rough road in the p ine forest, and, a fte r a ted ious ride o f a m ile or tw o, crossed a sm all stream , passed a in s tic ga te way, and stopped am id the shades o f Bonaventura.

A subdued hush fe ll upon our cheerfu l p a rty as w e looked o ve r the solemn landscape— the con trast w ith the everyd ay w orld was so s ta r tliu g— the scene so unreal. Vast arches, formed o f the trunks and lim bs o f th e l iv e oak, lik e the gro ined aud rib bed aisles o f a t ita n tic cathedral, stretched aw ay in to the d istance, bung w ith th e singular, pendulous g ray moss, w h ich drapes so g ra ce fu lly m any o f our southern forest trees.

T he p lace is now most ap p rop r ia te ly occup ied as a cem etery, and s ta te ly m onum ents g leam am id the g ra y aisles, w h ile a broad r iv e r sweeps s ilen tly around th e eastern border.

I t is the sanctuary o f space and s ilen ce ; solem n and unreal the g ia n t arches stretch d im ly in to the d istance, w h ile a soft breeze sw ays the festoons o l moss overhead .

This, with the example of the I Wyoming Legislature (which had acted on Mr. Wilcox’s, suggestion, and enfranchised the women there), the pen- i deucy of tbeCullom Bill, and Mr. Hooper’s representations, led the Utah Legislature to take the initiative from Con- ¡ gross, and a bill to the same effect passed both Houses nnanin onsly.

The Governor was in Washington. He and others telegraphed the acting Governor to veto the bill. Others, still 1 opposed to the Ci.bom scheme, Telegraphed him to sign it. : Finding the reeling strong in its favor, be approved it nrider protest. Two days afterward an election was held at Salí Lake City tor municipal officers, and half a doaen women voted each ticket.

When the Callam Bill came up in the House. Mr. A. A. Sargent, of California, Mr. Julian and others protested against the section which proposed to disfranchise polygamists ; the £■ no/aboa did the same, and the section was struck out- In Committee ot the Whole, however, the word “ male" was smuggled into the qualifications for voters, and the bill passed the Honse, and w ent to the Senate in that shape. At Mr. Wifoox’s suggestion. Henry B. Blackwell reported to the American Women Suffrage Convention, at S.emway Hall in May last, a resolution denouncing this portion of the bill, " as a flagrant violation of a vested right," which passed nnammonsly. At his instance the Executive Committee of the Universal Peace Union passed a like resolve. The bill failed to pass, and the women have now generally voted.

Mr.' Wilcox expresses the opinion that for the present The Mormon leaders will control the female vote; but that polygamy cannot outlive the enlightenment which a part in public allairs will spread among the women. He is on cordial terms with Mr. Hooper, who. with otboi Mormons, has invited him to come to Salt Lake City and publicly diseñas polygamy, assuring him of a tnemdly reception.

Years ago this was burned, aud the situation being thought unhealthy, it was not rebuilt, and ultimately the estate was. with singular propriety, adapted to its present nse.

GRAND, SQUARE A N D UPRIGHT

P IA N O F O R T E S ,

beg to announce A G ENERAL REDUCTION

in their prices in accordance with the decline in the premium on gold and consequent decreased cost of imported articles used in the manufacture of Pianofortes. Id addition to their established styles of Pianofortes, Steinway & Sons, in order to meet a long felt and frequently expressed want, by persons of moderate means, teachers, schools, etc., have perfected arrangements for the mannfacture of an entirely new style of instrument, termed the “School” Piano, a thoroughly complete instrument of seven octaves, precisely the same in size, scale, interior mechanism, and workmanship as their highest priced seven octave pianos ; the only difference being that this new style of instrument is constructed in a perfectly plain yet exceedingly neat exterior case. These new instruments will be supplied to those who desire to possess a thoroughly first-class “Steinway Piano,“ yet are limited in means, at exceedingly moderate prices.

Steinway A Sons also desire to call special attention to their new Patent Upright Pianos, with Double Iron frame, Patent Rcsonato, Tubular Frame Action and new soft Pedal, which are matchless in volume and quality of tone and surpassing facility of action, whilst standing longer in tune and being more impervious to atmospheric influences than any other Piano at present mauufac ured.

Price Lists and Illustrated Catalogues mailed free on application.

Aletic China Water,Imported, and now first introduced to the public of this conntry, by Captain A. W. L a ve n d e r , for many years commanding ships in the China trade, from the port of New York and European ports.

AN D K ID N E Y COMPLAINTS, and Is

TH E GREAT PURIFIER OF TIIE BLOOD, from a disorderly state of which functions almost “ all the ills that flesh Is heir to “ are traceable—such as Nervous and Sick Headache, Indigestion, Dyspensia, Costlvencss, Colic, Dlnrrhrea. Dropsy, Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Epilepsy, Heart Disease, Scrofula, Consumption, General Debility, and many others. By correcting the stomach, giving activity to tho liver, and purifying the blood, the seeds of disease are eradicated, and the simplest and surest way to gain this great end is to use the Aletic China Water, the medicinal ingredients of which arc not compounded by the hands of men, but by God, who surely knows what is good for His creatures.

For Sea S ickness the Aletic China Water is the only known cure, and if taken before going on the water, will prevent that distressing and annoying malady.

As a mild aperient and corrective, it Is far superior to Congress, Gettysburg, Seltzer, or Soda Water, and if taken before meals, sharpens the appetite and strengthens the digestive organs.

MLLE FANNY JANAUSCHECK

I t w ou ld sca rce ly b e poss ib le to select from tb e annals o f th e d ram a tic « ra c e a en b ject m ore p lea s in g than M ile . Jauauscheck. H er sto ry is fu ll o f e x q u is ite s im p lic ity — a com p le te episode. She was born in P ragu e abou t th e y e a r 1835. M is fo rtu n e w as the first to find her. She w as but an in fa n t w hen h er m oth er d ied . T h en h er fa th er, w h o hail been a m erchan t o f w ea lth and p os ition , e x p e r ien ced b it te r reverses , so the ch illi w as thus th row n la r g e ly upon her ow n resources. T h is d eve lop ed self-dependence. Y o u n g as she w as, she lo g ic a lly argued w ith h e rse lf th e a ll im p o rta n t question , “ W h a t shall 1 do ?” An d a ll th e w o r ld bears w itn ess to her decision. She has becom e fam ous. S til l , h er e a r ly p rom ptin gs led her to se lect m usic as th e m ost fa ith fu l e x ponen t o f her h a lf-aw aken ed gen ius. She lo « t n o t im e in p la c in g h erse lf under the tu itio u o f th e chape l-m aster a t P ragu e, who, d isco ve r in g his p u p il’s fin e d ram a tic ta len ts, in troduced her to the g rea t G erm an ac to r , B and ins. T h is personage p repared h er fo r th e s tage , and a t th e age ot fifteen . Fann y Janauscheck m ade h er first appearan ce, and exp erien ced her first g ra n d d isa p p o in tm en t. She w as not p rop erly app rec ia ted . T h e re was a reason fo r th is . T h e d e b u ta n te had m an y re ig n in g riva ls , and w e a l l k n o w h o w th a t dear p u b lic w i l l som etim es m ost cap ric iou s ly c l in g to its id o ls So M adem oise lle shook the dust o f P ra gu e from h er shoes and w en t to L e ip s ic . H e re she becam e to ta l ly d es titu te ; and, in o rd er to p ro v id e th e com m on necessaries o f l i fe , she w as forced to accep t a su bord in a te p os ition w ith a tra v e lin g com pany o f perform ers.

B u t th e e ffec t o f g r ip in g , p in ch in g p o v e r ty upon th is h igh -m in ded g ir l w as s im p ly g lo riou s . I t aroused an unconquerab le d eterm in a tion to p luck success from th e fiercest opposition . Y o u n g in years, F a n n y Janauscheck becam e a w om an in character. She sa id to h erse lf, “ I w i l l su cceed !” and she has k ep t h er w ord .

H e r first re a l tr ium ph w as in 1849. T h e occasion w as the b ir th d a y o f G oethe. T h is a n n ive rsa ry w as c e leb ra ted a t F ra n k fo r t, and “ Ip h ig en ia ,” b y th a t g re a t poet, w as p erform ed , w ith M ile . Janauscheck in th e p r in c iD a l rôle. F rom th a t hour her success was assured. T h e p u b lic and the press v ie d w ith each o th er in lau d in g h er w on d erfu l a c t in g , and h er nam e spread th rou gh ou t G erm any. R eco gn ized n ow as a w om an o f gen ius, she crea ted th e w ild e s t enthusiasm . T h is enthusiasm increased to p os it iv e ad ora tion , w hen she g a v e ev id en ce o f n ob le p a tr io tism and a llie d h e rse lf to the g re a t cause o f G erm an u n ity . T h e peop le, o f course, dared n o t open ly express th e ir sen tim en ts upon th is sub jec t, so th e y w ere forced to h ave recou rse to s tra tagem . A gran d n a tion a l con ven tion o f G erm an Schuetzen o r r iflem en w as ca lled to g e th e r a t F ra n k fo r t. T h is sh oo tin g fe s t iv a l was, in fa c t, b n t a c loak fo r p o lit ic a l d iscussions; and F a n n y Janauscheck th re w fire upon these, fo r she enacted th e p a rt o f G erm ania, in an a lle g o r ic a l d ram a w r it te n fo r th e occasion. W a s i t a success 1 W e ll , lis ten . Shouts o f exu lta tion , k in d lin g cheeks and fas t b ea tin g hearts to ld o f em otions k in d led anew b y h er p a tr io t ic d evo tio n . Yes, a gran d success. T h e actress a ck n o w led ged as m uch to h erse lf, when m en c lim bed th e stage, en tered th e green-room , and conv ey e d to h er th e n a tion a l thanks. F ro m th a t hour, Janauscheck becam e th e n a tion ’s fa vo r ite .

She is indeed a w on d erfu l actress. See her in Thusuelda. W h a t w ords can do ju s tic e to th e th r il l in g pathos o f h er vo ice , th e v iv id p o w e r o f h er action , o r the gran deu r o f her d e liv e r y in p roph esy in g R om e ’s conquest b y G erm any ! D eborah is a ’ .other o f h er fa v o r ite characters. Th is , as w e k n ow , is th e sto ry o f a w ild and passionate lo ve— ot a l i fe o f m isery. I t is fu ll o f th e gen tle s t tenches o f tenderness and the m ost fra n tic outbursts o f passion, and i t cu lm inates in a sublim e self-denial. In th is character, Janauscheck is w ith ou t a r iv a l. She is n o t a rtis tic . She is natu ra l. H e r sufferin gs and m isery are th e su fferings and m isery o f l i f e and nature. H e r agon y, w h en deserted b y h er lo ve r , h er te r r ib le in v e c tiv e w hen she becom es convinced o f h is in fid e lity , h er h eart-b reak ing forg iven ess, and then th e eternal separation . A l l these even ts fo llo w each o th er in dne order. T h e unu tterab le patbos o f th a t poor creatu re ’s l i fe touches the h ea rt o f e v e ry audito*. V o ic e and m anner te l l th e story, and th a t, too, irresp ective o f langu age.

In M edea, M ile Janauscheck g iv e s o f th e h ero in e w h a t appears to us tb e onl j true conception . H e r Colch ian p rin ces«, born o f a race upon w hom th e O lym pians v is ited the d ires t m isfortunes, turns from these w ra th fu l deities. She has dark m ysteries, dark g ifts , dark gods o f h er own. T o T erra and N ox on ly does she kneel. She lo ves Jason, has fo llo w ed h im , has borne h im children , has borne b im M isfortune. H is gods, th e b r ig h t gods o f O lym pus, are aga inst them — m isery pursues them — carth refuses th em — w ater refuses them — man refuses them . G loom y Jason dreads his com panion— is a fra id o f h er— hates her— and she 1 Ah , she loves— loves for th e past, not fo r the p resen t—loves fo r w hat h a s been, not fo r w h a t i s — lo ves because g u ilt and m isfortune have com e upon both. F o r her, th a t is a stron g t ie — for him , it is an add itional in cen tive to fear. T rue , our lo ve is selfish, bnt tb e rendition o f th a t supernatural w om an liness is superb.

In M ary Stuart, w h ich is h istrion ic and not, m yth ic , Janans- «heck presents an en tire ly n ew phase o f character— affectionate, d ign ified , passionate, y e t queen ly, she is th e same M ary Stuart whoso sad h istory is thus v iv id ly b rough t before us.

T he characters w e h ave m entioned are those in w h ich the grea t tragedienne excels and are also her favorites. H er

ne differs but l i t t le from that o f R istori, bu t the Bohem ian

has more startling energy and miraculous intuition than the Italian. One thing is beyond dispute, the former sustains herself.

She has s tarred th rou gh ou t Russia and Prussia , a lw a ys w ith n n r iva led success. Im p s r ia l fa vors h a ve been sh ow ered upon her. H e r lin es h ave fa llen in p leasant places o n ly— so p leasant, indeed , th a t bad her ca reer not been in terru p ted b y th e Austrian w a r, w e dou bt w h eth er w e shou ld h ave had h er w ith us w h ile s t i l l in tb e fresh news o f her g lo ry . As it was, she |>erfected h er lon g-d ream ed -o f plans, se lected tbe m em bers o f h er troupe and sailed fo r N e w Y o rk .

So m uch fo r th e artiste. N o w le t us speak o f the wom an — fo r F a n n y Janauscheck i< essen tia lly w om an ly . Th ere in lies th e secre t o f th e s tran ge in flu ence w h ich she exe r ts in soc ia l l i fe . A sense o f r e ta in in g p o w e r p ervad es h er l ik e a halo . She is s t i l l y on n g , v e r y fa ir , w ith la rg e b r illia n t, blue- g ra y eyes. I t m a y b e ob jec ted th a t she is ra th er la rg e fo r b eau ty . T h a t is tru e ; b u t w hen in c lassic costum e, her size can be no d isa d van ta ge . T heu b e r w a lk is m a jes tic , em i n e a t ly th a t o f a tr a g e d y queen. She has a serious face, w h ich becom es a lm ost in fa n t ile in express ion when it breaks iu to a sm ile , d isc lo s in g p ea r ly te e th . She appears a ffec tion ate and con fid in g . H e r con versa tion is easy ana unaffected , earnest, k in d and a lm ost to ta l ly d e v o id o f th e usual egotism o f ce leb r ities . H e r tastes are s im p le . H e r hom e in W est W ash in g to n square is q u ie t and re tired . T h e d ra w in g room s are la rg e and e x q u is ite ly a rran ged . T h e r ich green o f th e fu rn itu re b e in g so ften ed by fa lls o f w h ite laces. L i fe ' s ized oo rtra its o f th e g re a t actress adorn th e w a lls . L e t us hope th a t w e m a y re ta in th e o r ig in a l w ith us a lw ays . B y the w a y , M ad em o ise lle has been in A m er ica bu t th ree years, and she has crossed th e A t la n t ic seven tim es in th a t period . A t p resen t. M ad em o ise lle is b u s ily en gaged in o ve rcom in g th e d ifficu lties o f our ru de lan gu age . She takes tw o lessoDs d a ily , and speaks E n g lish a lrea d y w ith s in gu la r correctness and flu en cy . So n ex t w in te r w e sha ll h a ve th e happiness e f see in g h er w ith E d w in B ooth — th e Great Booth— in som e o f those personations w h ich gen iu s has m ade h istorica l.

W e h a ve fin ished.— W a i t ! T h e re is som eth in g gra n d er y e t to say o f peerless F a n n y Janauscheck. I t is th is : she is a ch a r ita b le w om an : she honors th e G iv e r o f a ll good b y g i v in g in h er tu rn to o thers from th e abundance la v ish ed on h erse lf. M .

DRAMATIC.

T h e last g rea t d ram atic even t has been the open in g ot B oo th ’s T h ea tre fo r the fa ll and w in te r seasons. A n attractiv e even t it p roved , fo r w e had “ R ip V a n W in k le ,” w ith M r. Joseph Jefferson as the hero o f the p lay. A fu ll house w e lcom ed the celebrated com ed ian to the scene o f his form er triumphs, and w e ll d id he deserve the w e lcom e he rece ived , and the h ea rty p laudits w h ich rew a rded his efforts w ere as genuine as th ey w ere deserved. T h e R ip V an W in k le o f M r. Jefferson is, as is w e ll know n , n o t the character as draw n by the gen ia l and w arm -hearted Irv in g , but a creation o f the dram atist, Boucicau lt, and as such w e are favored w ith a portraiture as d istinct in its delineation from the orig in a l o f the n ove lis t o f Sunnyside as it is possible fo r tw o characters to be. Save in nam e th ey are a ltogeth er d ifferent. T o any p erson acquainted w ith the w ork s o f the tw o w riters, w hose names are n o w so in separab ly connected w ith the jo l ly D utchm an o f the v illa g e o f F a ll in g W aters , the d ifference is observable. B u t then B oucicau lt is so orig in a l it is im possible to im agine that he cou ld, even i f he desired, m ake use o f the labors ot another. H o w e ve r , M r. Jefferson ’s R ip — that is, the Boucicau lt vers ion— is as fine a p iece o f actin g as our stage can boast of. Tou ch ed here and there w ith those delicate lttt le tints, the ac tor carries w ith h im from the rise to the fa ll o f the curtain the fee lings o f the audience. In the last act particu larly , in the in te rv iew w ith his daughter M ecn ie, his a c tin g w as rea lly fine, fu ll o f pathos and true to nature. A n d w h ile b estow in g that praise on M r. Jefferson w h ich his ac tin g so w e ll m erits, w e must not lose s ight o f the adm irable m anner in w h ich he is supported b y the com pany w ith w h ich he is surrounded. M iss M ary W ells , as Gretchen, ga ve an exce llen t rendering o f the part and the tw o ch ildren in the first act, M een ie V an W in k le and H endrick V edd er, p layed b y C lara M cC orm ack and M aster H a rry Jackson, n ever found better exponents. M iss B e lla Patem an also acqu itted herself in a m anner o f w h ich she m ay feel ju s tly proud. T h ou gh a first n igh t, eve ry th in g w orked to a ch a rm ; bu t i f w e m igh t m ake a suggestion it w ou ld be that the stage m anager w ou ld see to it that, notw ithstanding h ow s trik in g m ay be the effect o f hav ing the ghouls, w h o assembled in the K atsk ills w ith the spirit o f H endrick Hudson, appear w ith darkened faces w h ile their hands possessed the natural hue o f liv in g men, it w ou ld be w e ll, i f on ly fo r the sake o f consistency, to have both hands and laces the same color. E v e ry litt le counts, Mr. W a lle r, in a good make-up.

T h e success w h ich has attended M r. E m m ett in “ F r itz ” at W a lla ck ’s Theatre is som ething rem arkable at this season o f the year. N ig h t after n ight, for the last five w eeks, the house has been crowded, and E m m ett has becom e O u r F r itz , w h o is ach iev ing as grea t a trium ph in his w a y as the T o th er F r itz is doing in a m ilita ry w ay. Audiences lik e to be amused and pleased, especia lly at this season; and pleased and amused they are b y G ay ler and F r i t z ; and this is the secret o f the grea t success o f the performance. G ayler pleases and amuses by his incidents and d ia lo gu e ; Em m ett pleases and amuses by his songs anil acting. A s Mr. E m m ett is w e ll supported, and the p lay carefu lly produced, the

p rodu ction is satisfactory in every respect. It is still necessary to ap p ly som e days In advance in order to obtain choice seats.

W o o d ' s M i ' s e c m .— T his popular place o f nmtis -mrnt appears to constan tly g ro w stronger in the affections o f an a)>- p rec ia t ive public, la add ition to the usual attractions o f the m enagerie , the Bohem ian glass-blowers, the automaton acrobat and the m isce llan y o f tlie “ rare anil strange" objects n ow on exh ib ition , there are everyday matinee anil evening perform ances o f a th rillin g , sensation drama, entitled *' The A c e o f Spades," in w h ich the author, Mr. A lbert Aiken, sustains the part o f the principal hero. T h e scene is laid in N e w Y o rk , and presents a v e ry fa ir picture o f our kaleidoscop ic A m erican soc iety . A w ealthy Fifth-avenue millionaire, a represen tative new sboy, a precocious villian named “ E ng lish B ill,” and a funny v illa in re jo ic in g in the snubri- q'tet o f “ C u rly R ocks,” toge th er w ith several other com m on types o f e ve ryd ay G otham life, figure on the stage in s tr ik in g but not unnatural positions. T h e p iece is filled w ith “ h its ," which, even though som etim es ju s t a shade hackneyed and trite, s im p ly attain the end aim ed at and b rin g dow n the house the ga ller ies especia lly , in thunderous applause. Some portions o f the d ia logue, h ow ever, are far above the usual standard o f dram atic w ork at the m inor theatres, and would bear transferral to a m ore critical arena. Miss Theresa W ood acta the part o f Essie T ro y , the friendless and ill-used girl, with grea t sp irit and animation. Mr. Barnes, too, as Shorty, the N ew sb o y , d isp lays considerable talent as a lo w comedian. A n d M r. Jam es W h itehead , the “ D ead L ife ,” although he has certa in ly to sustain the m ost arduous and d ifficu lt part in the p iece, and one w h ich it is b y no means easy to render effectiv e w ith s im p ly natural acting, never strays into affectation o r m ere stilted ranting, hut g iv es fu ll force to his part by plain , earnest acting, o f no mean order o f excellence.

Business has been v e r y good a t tbe T h ea tre Com ique, and Messrs. B u tle r & G ilm ore h ave w is e ly dec ided to keep open th rou gh ou t the sum m er. T h e theatre is p leasan tly v en tila ted b y th e w in d ow s on e ith er side, up-stairs and down.
