A HOME FOE NOBODY’S CHILDREN.

B Y E M IL Y V E R D E R Y .

(Mrs. Batty.)

“ But the first that ever I had, was dead before he was horn ;Shadow and shine are life, little Annie, flower and thorn.That was the first time, too, that ever I thought o f death ;There lay the sweet little body that had never drawn a breath.I had not wept, little Annie, not since I had been a w ife ;But I wept like a child that day, for the babe had fought for hia lift.For Willie I cannot weep, I shall see him another m orn ;But I wept like a child for the child that was dead before he was born.”

( T i n n y ton'. “ Grandmother'I Apology.")

Such a poet as Tennyson is lit once the prophet, philoso­pher and moralist of his age.

Whenever nature is not stifled and murdered with social conventionalities she detents the trade of the abortionist. She weeps like a child for the child that was dead before he was born. Since the New York Foundling Asylum has been in existence the trade of the abortionist and baby farmer has almost ceused in New York.

On Fifth avenue stands a marble palace— a monument of our Bocial depravity. It was (built with the bloodstained gold oi a child-murderer, as truly the price of blood as the thirty pieces of silver that purchased Golgotha. Lust and Cruelty, twin brothers, should be the statues keeping sym­bolic watch over its portul. But let not the Pharisees who paid the price ot blood Into the .hands of the Judas who

now nurses children (“ nobody’s Children ”) for whose m u r d e r

princey sums would have been paid two years ago; babies that are brought at midnight’s murky hour in costly car­riages, with liveried coachmen and footmen, who deposit the elegantly-dressed babe of wealth and guilty lust in the basket in the vestibule, ring the bell and drive swiftly away. Yes, in that asylum are the children ot young women whose very mothers do not know their daughters have ever borne a child. Character, or rather reputation, is saved, for as yet, God be thanked! American society demands that her women shall be supposed pure and virtuous, and practically conformers, at least in appearance, to a sacramental marriage law.

I f we ever arrive at that perfect obedience to the laws of marriage written in our souls, and which we now so con­stantly violate through ignorance and sin, then there will be no necessity for foundling asylums. Bnt until wo do, let us thank God that he raises ap such women us

to remedy our social evils. Let us also remember that they cannot do their work without the necessary aid. Some fears are entertained, and not without reason, that the Catholic churches in New York will fail to raise the neces­sary $100,000 for the erection of the asylum on Lexington avenue. Many wealthy parishes are buihliDg new churches which are really necessary for the increasing Catholic popu­lation. But that should not excuse them from uiding in this most important matter. There seems to be an apathy on the subject not anticipated a week ago. Sister Irene seems to hope much from her Protestant and nou-Catliolic friends, and tries to he serene, trusting iu God to provide for her helpless little ones. She does uot say it, hut it is plain that the forthcoming

All of our citizens should feel interested in raising the necessary fund for building a suitable “ maison des en fans trouvé” for them. Many of the children who are left at the door are children of poor, houest, virtuous, hard-work­ing mothers, who are unable, to provide lor their children. This number is, however, comparatively small. By far the greater number are known to be illegitimate.

I saw there on one of my numerous visits, a child, nearly tbroo years old, with a pietornaturaily old expression—a living skeleton—its neok not larger than my wrist, ulcerated all around; so sensitive, it raised its hand to hide its little face from my gaze ; its joints enlarged and hones almost through tho skiu. In this condition it was nursed in tho tenderest manner by the young sisters who have obarge of tho Infirmary for about one month, when it died, finding a blessed relief to its sufferings.

(M rs. Battoy.)

It has been suggested that those of the |Sisters of Charity who undertake hospital service should prepare themselves for the.duty by ut least one course of Medical Lectures. This would he wise, and iu accordance with the progressive ten­dencies of the age. Those Cutholics who assert that there is no such thing us liberal Catholicity, prove their ignorance of tho principles of Christianity. There is nothing in Catho­licity opposed to true Progress; all the true Progress of the nineteenth century is essentially Catholic. False science and licence only arc opposed to Catholicity. That Catholic.is false to his Church and its divinely liberal teachings who disregards the significant facts of this age, aud especially that one, tho spontaneous and universal movement of women toward a higher intellectual development. He is very igno­rant, indeed, who does not know that this movement is not confined to our own country or even Europe. It extends, ulso, to those benighted regions where our sex is kept in seclusion mid abject submission to man.

I f a w om an g ro w a cabbage and take it to the market, she sells it fo r ju st as much m oney as w ou ld a man had he grow n the cabbage.

Th is I said to m yse lf as I passed through the m arket yes­terday and saw a w om an selling cabbages. I bought one o f her fo r fifteen cents. “ A re you from the country ?” I asked.

“ Y e s , indeed,” she replied p leasan tly ; “ I am a w id o w ; but I have a nice garden spot where I g ro w m y cabbages’ potatoes and other th ings for m arket."

“ Y o u spade you r garden, p lant you r seed and do all the w ork you rse lf? ”

‘ Y es , indeed."“ H ave you ch ildren ?”“ I have tw o little fe llows, but they are not old enough to

help m e any."“ Y o u are a farmer, then, eh?”"N o t exactly,” she replied, laughing; “ but I have two

cows ; I have customers for my butter here in the city ; then I have an apple orchard—only a little one. I have rented just now three acres o f land near my place ; so next year I will have potatoes—a good many—to sell.”

“ And,” I said, “ you sell your vegetables for just as much money as would a man ?"

“ Oh, yes !” she replied.“ And so you have W oman ’s R io h ts?”“ T h a t is so, that is b o 1” she said w ith a laugh ; “ yes, yes !

W om an 's R igh ts I”I wa lked aw ay m ed itating ; I m editated all the w a y hom e;

and now I have had a dream which I believe was the result o f that wom an, her cabbages and m y meditations thereupon. I am com pelled , how ever, to confess Hint this dream which I am about to relate was not g iven to me in the night-time. I t came to pass that when I arrived at homo w ith m y cabbage and m arketing, I was so tired ami sleepy that I laid dow n on the sola in tlio parlor and went sound asleep. Yes, I have slept three hours; have ju st awoke, and must now make haste and w rite m y dream before m y husband comes home from the office.

I dreamed that I was fly in g— or rather floating— through the air. Is it not a delightfu l fee ling 7 H o w happy it makes one feel to dream o f fly in g ! W e ll, it seemed to me that I was high In the air and m oving rapidly. Ham lets, villages, towns and cities, slso tlio vnst expanse o f field, m eadow, wood, r iver and lake were spread out as a map to m y de­ligh ted gaze. But oil, the smoking, d irty cities I A s I passed oxer them som ething drew mo to descend, not that I so do- sired, but that the co llective m agnetic forces o f the human beings therein Immured, deprived mo not on ly o f the power, but, in a great degree, o f the disposition to rovisL So I came near enough to tho surface to v iew tlio dark alleys, the nar­row streets, the dark, brick wnlls o f houses huddled together, anti I longed to fly from them and again behold the beautifill cou n try ; but I was com pelled to linger in each c ity and visit hundreds o f places o f which I had heard but had never seen— every garret, cellar, workshop o r workroom ill which poor half-paid w ork lugwom en tolled. But I found very few . In­deed, s f such iad ivldnals W h U could this meau 7 Then

m illinery stores, fkney stores and all other stores were visited . but the number o f wom en em ployed was really very small -, and those few had not that pallid, under paid, over-worked look usually characteristic o f wom en in such positions.

M ystery o f m ysteries! I said to m yself; who does all the slop-work o f those great cities 7 W h o make the shirts, draw­ers, etc. 7 W h o does the ta ilor-work w e have heard so much about wom en doing fo r a mere pittance? Then with a ra­p id ity much greater than that o f fly ing I seemed to visit ths homes and places o f business o f those w ho did that w ork ; but lo , it was p rincipa lly done by men and b oy s ! There were wom en, certain ly ; but few — very few — compared with the number w h ich I supposed were em ployed on such work. W h at has becom e o f the wom en 7 I asked myself. Has the race o f wom an tailers died out 7 A re they all married, and so have husbands to provide for them 7 N o answer came. 8o into hotels, je w e lry stores, telegraph offices, paint shops, where I knew that the advocates o f woman's rights should be almost exclusively em ployed, I looked but found scarcely any wom en there. In to counting-houses, broker's offices and banks I lo o k ed ; and though in these latter I found some wo­men look ing quite v igorous and contented, women were by no means in the m ajority.

W e ll, perhaps they had all gone in to “ law , physic and d iv in ity !” So, after considerable search, I found a few doctors’ and law yers ’ offices scattered here and th ere ; but the occupation o f that class o f people seemed to be gone to a considerable extent— there were not one-tenth the number I expected to f in d ; but about half the lawyers, and three- fourths o f the few doctors rem aining, were women. As to the pulpit, I couldn ’ t exactly understand it, for m any o f the churches had been turned into lecture room s; others had been fitted up as unitary hom es; some had become poly­technic institutions and schools o f science; and many o f the ta ll steeples w ere transformed into observatories for the people. In about h a lf o f the churches, however, preachers were grin d in g aw ay as usual, and about one-fourth o f these were wom en.

I t rejo iced me grea tly to find banks w h o lly conducted by wom en, w ho w ere also, to a large extent, proprietors o f stores, and seemed not to he excluded from any occupation. Still, the m a jority o f business people w ere m en ; it was evi­dent that but a small proportion o f wom en w ere employed in business, and that the number o f persons em ployed in what are called the professions was so few that the disappearance oi wom en from so m any em ploym ents could not be accounted fo r in that way. W h a t had become o f the great surplus population o f poor w ork ingw om en ? W as it possible that their w ork had been taken from them and given to the men and boys w h o seemed to fill their places V

Then sorrow cam e into m y soul, and I said, “ Alas, alas ! it w ou ld seem that tens o f thousands o f women must be out o f em ploym ent— must be starving— who did manage to live, if ever so poorly , by the labor o f their hands; at least seventy- five or n inety per cent, o f these wom en must be starving! ” T h en I rem em bered a book entitled “ Apocatastasis,” or Progress backwards. H ow I had laughed at the idea of progress backwards ! But did not this look very much like “ Apocatastasis ? ”

I t w ou ld take too much space to detail all m y wanderings through that and m any other cities all over the Continent. It w ill be sufficient to state that from Maine to Texas, and from F lo rid a to A laska, what is now woman’! usual w ork in cities was nearly all done by men. H ad the wom en all become wealthy ? I t was evident that they had not taken all the lucrative em ploym ents once m onopolized by men.

Then the scene changed, and I found m yself walking along the sidewalk o f that c ity, like other mortals. I was ponder­ing on what I had learned, and was fee ling very sad. By- and-by I lilted m y eyes which, in m y gloom , had been cost on the sidewalk, and lo, in eve ry direction, large bills met m y eye, headed w ith the words, “ F if ty years ago ! ” “ Semi­centenarian fes tiv a l! ” Across the street were large banners, as we see on election days, in commemoration o f some great event. On these w ere the same words, w ith appropriate emblems and devices. F lags o f all sizes were hung out oi the w indows, and carried by little boys and girls in the streets, all having the same or sim ilar mottoes. On one of these large banners was represented, on the left, a sickly( starving woman, sew ing and shivering in a ga rre t; beside her was a coffin containing a dead in fan t; the pointers o f the clock indicated m idnight. Under this were the words, “ F it ly years a g o ! ” On the right o f the same banner were represented groups o f beautiful, healthy, intelligent women and children, gathering iru it and flowers in the bright sun­light. Th is picture was entitled “ To-day.”

M ost o f the banners and flags were graced by the lace* of tw o noble, earnest, beautiful ladies ; but no names were given and on ly the words “ F ifty years a g o ! ” replied to my many questions as to the meaning. Tho bells rang joyously, and bauds o f music were in almost every street, but neither drum nor cannon brought back memories o f war. The beautiful, the joyous and the free were manifested in every countenance. Maidens and matrons, boys and girls, grntls men snd intelli­gent women, all participated in tbis celebration. But I could not learn from any o f them what was its meaning, all seemed so ftilly occupied w ith their destination.

Uy-and-by tbe street cars came along, fluttering all over with small lings, on which were these name words, “ Fifty years ago ! ” The cars were labelled, “ F o r the Festival!" Then rattled along the street tw o carriages, in which wen seen the beaming faces s f ladisa and gentleman, and smiling

The Soot cf i i ; Matter, or the Bible in the Bole of the Old Mythologies

America is is transition stile, from the old to the sew-— to modern epiritaahan. naturalism, rationalism, or tree re- figion. nor less the nutation to social and political recon- ttrorioa It remains, then, to see how much of the old swaddling ciothes should be retained, and to what extent the new doth should be sewed to the old.

The new order of things can well afford to be hospitable to whatever can show a seal of truth in open day, and is not afraid to hare dark corners penetrated and sacred mysteries repealed in the light of all Israel and the sun. To more up­ward and onward with the spirit of the age, there must be freedom from the old bondage for woman no less than man, and in rearing the new bouse not made with hands, it is well to examine the old foundations, to see how fir it is safe to boDd go them.

The old theologies were in the several phases of physical, moral and spiritual modes of being in such wise as may not he altogether apt for modem modes; but the principles of interpretation, as applied by Max Muller, in “ Chips from a German Workshop," and by Mr. Cox. in his “ Manual of

| Mythology," are equally applicable to biblical as to Gentile • theology. As these are acknowledged interpreters of the old, let ns look a little into Hebrewdom or Christendom from their range of vision.

Mailer, among his “ Chips,” shows how material was the supernatural or miraculous among the ancients how, in the fullness of the Godhead bodily waa “day and night, spring and winter, dawn and twilight, atorm and thunder, sky and earth, dew and rain, eTen to rivers and mountains. * * How, in ancient languages, every one of these words had necessarily a termination expressive of gen­der, and this naturally produced in the mind the correspond ing idea of aex. ao that these names received not only an in­dividual, but a sexual character.”

On such wise ss this were the many “ chips" from the old block, speaking by the mouth of God in every manifestation oi the spirit, action, or life. These personifies liens were many

PtukvJud.-eus. the luanusl mtuafr and priest of Hebrew mysteries, though saying many boauti- tn) things, does nevertheless figure A’-'.t-d as the Scriptural srvmiaa. and emblematic of the under world.

O f the modern eloers of the Wiwi, the Rev. J. TV Fillton ami his like have hiravssM A-ttan to the train of woman, and made him her 7Vwr ejr V aiV **. Rut the ancients, in doing the God or Gods, the Lord and the Devil, were far qkvt petiv in their sweep of the personifications—snblimely Mi!nick- in their personificathm of thrones, dominions, prince­doms. virtues, powers The Lord could thunder marvelously with his voice—coukl speak out of the whirlwind, or whisper in the tnulbfTTv tree, and do all other things in the personi­fied natural religion. I f Horner was at once in seven cities porn, and therefore all his life of parish rights fiirtorn. no less in Jewrv could seven thunders utter their yokes at the word of the Lord. Says Muller: “ As king as a people thought in languace. it was simply impossible to speak of morning or evening, i f spring or winter, without giving to those concejv thus AHnething of an individual, active, sexual, and at last personal character. They were either nothings, or they were something, and then they could not be conceived as mere powers, but as beings powerful." In this. Muller con fines himself to the Gentile world, but it cannot fail t-> be noted that what is sauce for the Gentile goose is sance for the Hebrew gander, and in his " Science of Religion,' Muller does show that the old £7 or /? of the Hebrews, the mighty God of Jacob was kindred and parallel to the other gods in the manifestatkm of the spirit- It was the Spirit of the Lord which swooped up Elijah in chariot of Israel, with horsemen thereof, in » heaven. Exekiel saw living creatures in heaven, having wheels within wheels, and moving by wings of cher­ubim. The Lord rode upon a cherub, and dki fly. yea. he did flv on the wings of the wind. St. John made no bones of taking the two wings of a great eagle for his woman, clothed with the Sun. that she might fly to a place prepared of God. to escape the prince of the air, who hovered on wing under the cope of hell.

Slays Mailer: “ Even in our own time, though we have the conception of Nature as a power, what do we mean Dy power, except something powerful * Now, in early language, Na­ture was IVWhfnr, a mere adjective made substantive. She was the mother, always going to bring forth. W as this nota more definite idea than that which we connect with Na­ture ? And let us still look at our poets, who still think and feel in language—that K who use no word without having really enlivened it in their mind, who do not trifle with language, but use it as a spell to call forth real things, full of light and color. Can they speak of the sun, or the dawn, or the storms, as mental powers, without doing vio­lence to their feelings T'

How magnificently does Milton set the old sky squadrons in the field, and raise the devil from the vasty deep to meet the Grisly Terror, when b o th » the brim were charged with strange fire from the Lord; and such a frown each cast at the other as when two black clouds, with heaven's artillery fraught, come rattling on over the Caspian. What a strait to be in between these two goblins damned, the prince of the power of the air and the portress of hell-gate, not with airs from heaven, but with blasts from helL How flee from the wrath to come when even Noah's ark and its living freight were tossed about like pottage in a caldron ! How bear up in this Euroclydou against the prince and porieress, with their big thunder, winged with red lightning and impetuous rage, to bellow through the vast and boundless deep, shoot­ing sulphurous hail from Satan's seat in the sides of the north! Somewhere in these airy and cloudy regions it was that Michael and the devil fought for the body of Moses.

A* per Muller: " Why should we wonder at the ancient», with their language, throbbing with life and reveling in color, if. instead of the gray oatlines of oar modern thought, they threw out those living forms of nature, endowed with human powers—nay, with power more than human, inasmuch as the light of the sun wSs brighter than the human eye, and the roaring of the storms louder than the shout of the human voice. We may be able to account for rain and dew, of storm and thunder; yet to the great majority of mankind all these things, unless they are merely names, are »till what they were to Homer, only, perhaps, lass baaulifUl, less poeti­cal, lea real, lets living ”

In the language of the old poets, or garniture of Hear -n, the Lord blessed the land of Joseph for the previous things ol the sun and ruo»in, tor the dew and deep that couched beneath He let off lu the whirlwind to J»\b a* well a* thundered marvelous with his voice. With still small voice he came to Elijah, and then whirled him into Heaven by the spirit in lull swoop. As per IVahnlat, " the Lord awaked as one out ot sleep, like a mighty man that shouleth by reason of wine, and smote hi* enemirw lu »ho hinder parts.” He refused the tabernacle of JowfA, the etnblt-UMtk' Mtara» or golden calf »if the Zodia an»l leader up id' the ancient hosts be hire he became the backsliding heifer in Israel by equinoctial precession. The Lord iu the *un then rvf.i'vd the talvrnacle of Joarpk, or 7i*irr*M, as tha venial sign, and smote him hip and thigh, making him ” the hamstmng o\ " of the •Sri'rii.tyrai, or Joseph, minus his skirt* by Mrs. lVtiphar. On the celestial maps he has left his hinder parts, and is pushing the people together to the ends »if the earth.

It is said that the story of Joseph has been found very early in Egyptian mythology. Blended more or less with the ancient legends he has a coat of many colors; but at what time of the ancient of days he hist his first «state, and the L»ird refused his tabernacle, must be gathered from the change of base where the sign of the Bull gave place by pre- cesskia to the sign of -Iris*, or the Lamb to Lake away the sins of the wcvrld.

Says Muller; ” Where we speak of the Sun following the Pawn, the ancient poets speak and think of the Sun loving an»i embracing the Pawn. Our sunrise was » them the night, giving birth to a brilliant child, and in the spring they really saw the sun or the sky embracing the earth with a warm embrace, and showering treasures into the lap of nature."

In ohl Jewry the sun was also a " brilliant child,’’ the sun »if righte»insness, with healing it his wings. He waa the - viinng child,” or Jesus, the Day Star and Saviour of the world. The Essenes. the secret sect of the Jews, so like the first Christians as hardly to be separst ed, greeted the rising sun ss the God of Israel, by way of the East, as indicated by Moses and the prophets. “ The Lord came from Sinai, rose upt.wu Seir. and shined forth from Mount Paran; and with a fiery law in his hand " was cbieftest among ten thousand. As a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, he rejoiced as a strong man to run a race. He rode on the heavens by his name. J v h . and as Jeshunm he waxed fat and kicked in ex­cellency on the sky.

It is in this naturalism that the God of Israel is every­where apparent. Coming out of his chamber, where the morning twilight lingers, he kisses the bride and leaves her wrapped in the golden fleece of the Lamb. In Cox's My­thology we may see the many parallels of the various Sun- Goils with their apt affinities in mystical relation with the Lamb and his wile, the woman clothed with the sun.

Of the perversions of the nature worship in India, Muller refers to ” what can be done by an unscrupulous priesthood." But has Christendom much to boast of on this score? Have n- t its priesthoods ever warred against free inquiry with the most unsparing vengeance, as if nothing were so hurtful as the free light shining into the darkness. Even the so-called ,Wml Church deprecates the ” penetrating into dark corners, anil disembowel iris sacred mysteriesbut the poetic licence of the old theologies is losing its spell to bind modem seekers of truth, losing its power to keep the people at the foot of the hill, for fear that the Lord break forth upon them and many perish. The old salt has lost its savor for the Word of the period:

It 1» not a little to Ik wondered at that the most in eon I talent Intolerance and the rnoat deumnined pharUaical big- olry with which the Woman Question ia met, ia found inside o f the fJInirch. Though, when we renumber that there are llioae atiil who declare that Josbua commanded the aun to ataml wiill, and that it obeyed, liecauae auch an kaeerlion ia found within the Bible, ilahould not appear ao terribly strange, ho long aa there are any who will be led lay blind authority, regardleaa o f all uae ol common aenae or reason,ao long may the advocates ol equality for woman eipect to meet the most incon»isli:nl opposition from the churches, especially from those which teach that “ it is a siiamc for a woman to apeak in church," and that it 1> the duty o f wives to “ submit your­selves unto your husbands." The fact that auch ideas pre­vailed (arillories ago, is no reason why we should, in these enlightened days, atill subscribe to them. The teachings of Jesus himself Inculcate the adoption o f new ideas. Moses taught, “ An eye for an eye," etc., but Jesus taught, “ But I say unto you, love your enemies," etc. Thus, on the evidence of their most sacred authority, self-styled Christiuns are con­demned lor the unreasonable opposition they show to new truth.

A ll the means by which science is demonstrated, and all the ways iri which new truth is evolved, teach tliul this rc- ccnlly-bcgun ugitution, culled the “ Woman Question,” is the question o f the hour. There are others which, perhaps,some look upon as more important, hut i f the “ Common Sense” and the “ Reason” o f the age is questioned, they will answer that it is not only the question o f the hour, but that it is the gravest ol all questions. Upon the relations o f the sexesdoes the future condition ot humanity depend. It is these rela­tions which lie at tile basis o f society, uud too long already have they been left to he determined by the blind suggestions o f passion ; too long lias science been denied entry into their realm. In the production o f everything that society requires for its subsistence, comfort or pleasure, the lights o f science are made constant use o f to point the w a y ; but in the much graver mutter o f the production o f society itself, science is denied all entrance, and it is left to bejusf what it can, with­out government or guide to ussist its formation.

There are a certain class o f persons who denounce, with holy vehemence, uny attempt to show up the conditions of society. The apparent argument is, that to touch anything that is diseased, is evidence o f the existence o f disease in those who perlorm Unit operation. Tlius, i f any argue to show that there are bad thing» in the present structure o f society, they are the “ d irty” ones, instead o f those they touch. Tne same argument would make those who assail polygamy, polyg­amists. W e often wonder ii it is possible for such argumentists to he impervious to the feeling o f contempt which they cull forth from those who understand the situation. They are looked upon jUBt about us one would he to-day who should endcuvor to convince the people that the world is a plane insteud o f a globe. The end o f the argument would be that he would couviuce them, insteud, that he was an exceeding simpleton, and more a subject o f pity than contempt. So, loo, are they who cry “ d iit” more worthy o f pity than con­tempt, for they only convince those who are worth seeking to convince that they are a class o f very narrow and con- tractud-iiMill-ways-minded persons. For all this they assume the most sublime dignity and self-complacent assurance, and tread the world much as though they were saying, “ Did not I tell you soil”

The daysoi arbitrary rule have departed. A ll things move by the more enlightened rule o f equal-right. In one depart­ment uloiio does absolute swny still linger. Woman is subju­gated still by m an; woman, as a sex, is under the absolute sway o f man as a sex. A ll rules o f life are by him laid dowu for her to bo guided, governed and condemned by. W e flat­ter ourselves that this America is a free country, in which all enjoy the rights o f equality. H o t a bit of it. N ever were you more thoroughly, more radically, mistaken. There is no such thing as female freedom or temale equality, before the law, in the land. Rather she has less o f them, compara­tively, than she has in almost any other country. O f this most apparent tact, however, American women are entirely ignorant or purposely oblivious, and sometimes we almost despair o f any immediate possibility o f un uwakenmg to the reality o f the degradation and slavery which a large part o f American woman submit to with so great indifference. H ow ­ever, tlie tires o f liberty areburuing upon the altars o f many aroused hearts, and these shall be tho flames that w ill spread world-wide and destroy the vain illusion o f a dependent ease which is substituted for independent self-reliance.

Tne other, known aa the American Woman’s Suffrage Association, was organized some six months after, at Cleveland. Ohio, mainly by youthful converts— youthful only in the seme o f being new workers— who were eager to manifest the fact o f their conversion by thrusting the time-honored advocates aside, superseding them in the leadership and presumptuous enough to believe themselves competent.

They might, as they do, hold the official places in this parasitic organization ; but bow will they administer the pe culiar duties needed to insure a steady advance o f the cause may be judged by its present paralyzed condition.

The only prominent and well-known worker among them is Lucy Slone, and she ha* ware* to teU.

Nobody can honestly fulfill the obligations which an es­pousal o f a reform movement imposes who has a financial interest therein. There w ill he either a continual battle be­tween this interest and the conscience o f the individual—be­tween avarice and philanthropy as it were—or conscience will become passive and subservient, contenting itself with wliat it can do for the cause on the way to money-getting.

Sirs. Stanton's evening address was the feature o f the oc­casion. Putting aside the superficial argument that suffrage is the one thing needed for woman's emancipation, she went, like a true woman as she is— true, because true to herself— to the very foundation o f the evil, and gave such an argument on the evils o f marriage as would have made the reputation o f any unknown man who might have delivered it, immor­tal ! As it was, the press classed it with all the other namby- pamby speeches o f the day, and treated it superficially, as men are wont to do the principles and ideas which are be­yond their comprehension.

Space and time forbid any report o f the speech or the evi­dent impression made on an unusually large and intelligent audience; besides, nothing short o f an over-beaten report could do justice to the address itself, and nothing written by me could convey any idea o f the grand presence o f a grand and noble woman standing alone in her calm and deliberate advocacy o f measures at which the whole world shrinks through its ignorance and prejudice.

The halo o f a spirit redeemed from fear o f human judge­ment because it had emancipated itself and risen superior to all earthly things seemed t( glow from within, out, and to illu­minate the face around this woman’s prophet with a glory only less than the glorious presence from which it emanated.

ANOTHER BRAVE SOLDIER FALLEN.

The report o f a meeting o f the N ew York W oman Suf­frage Society (see Revolution, Oct. 13) contains the following :

“ Mrs. Dr. Somerby spoke with much earnestness on the inquiry whicli the cause o f female suffrage had experienced by the indiscretion o f those who attempt to burden the party with their peculiar views o f marriage and free love.”

Let us hope that the “ melancholy intelligence,” shadowed in the foregoing is untrue— that “ Mrs Dr. Somerby ” has been slandered (lor it is much better to be slandered than to exhibit want o f sense, or want o f principle)— that there has not been a “ dispensation o f Providence,” but only a freak o f a reporter.

Still, i f it is all true— i f “ Mrs. Dr. Somerby” did say all that— if our sister (at least that was) is really “ lost to us,” it is only just such a phenomenon as has often been witnessed before in the history ot reform movements. I t does seem as though the real distinguishing fact in human nature is that persons are possessed o f a certain stock o f courage and good sense, and when this stock has “ gin out,” the human machine has to be kept running as best it can with other material.

The real truth is that the cause o f W om an’s Rights has not suffered on account o f the radicalism, but on account o f the cowardice o f its adherents. I f the friends ot Woman Suffrage, as a body, were only endowed with a reasonable amount o f moral courage and devotion to principle, they would at once become positive to public opinion. In a suffi­ciently positive state we can encounter anything— storm and malaria are alike harmless. But people who allow them­selves to “ get into a sweat ” for fear their reputation w ill be endangered, and get tho pores o f their moral systems relaxed, ‘ take co ld ” at every gust o f adverse public sentiment and soon “ go into a decline.”

I t is a noticeable fact that the marriage question has almost always been brought up in suffrage meetings by the conserva­tive«—tho opponents o f woman’s freedom. N o t that the Free Lovers are averse to defending their principles, but probably nine-tenths o f the talking on the subject has been

I believe in everybody and appreciate all workers, and while I think our thin-skinned and weak-kneed friends are doing great good, especially by dome so much to keep up the agitation o f the Free Love question, I regard it as super­lative nonsense to talk o f woman’s rights while ignoring her first, fundamental, only right—the right to herself Individu­ality is the basis o f all rights. Except as a free, stlf-owned individual, woman has no rights. Talk o f giving slaves their rights without abolishing slavery '. Give the slave the ballot to protect himself or herself against the oppression o f the master The slave, as such, has no rights. Every woman has a right to the ballot, bat womanhood (and there is no womanhood but free womanhood) must come first— the bal­lot instantly after. F rancis Ba r r y .

NEW ISSUES.

A LETTER TO HON. AUGUST BELMONT, CHAIRMAN OF THE

DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE.

D e a r S i r : ” Let the dead past bury its dead. Act, act in the living present,” is the watchword ol to-day.

The Republican leaders who controlled the W hig party twenty years ago, and were overwhelmed in its destruction, have, like Austria, in' K ing John, slipped the lion’s skin of Radicalism over their recreant limbs, to hide and help their centralizing and despotic designs.

Thomas Jefferson, the father o f true Democratic Radical­ism, wrote, that those who pay to support the State are enti­tled by right to vote.

John Stuart Mill, the friend o f America, repudiates the idea o f manhood suffrage as loo narrow.

Our fathers o f '76 began the Revolution which ended in American freedom, with the cry o f “ Aro Taxation without Representation /”

By protests against accomplished facts nothing is gained, and all may be lost. Let us carry the war into Africa!

Let the Democracy acquiesce in the negro suffrage which the skin-deep Radicals have forced through, thus relieving itself from the charge o f fossilism and the anti-democratic stigma ot trying to restrict suffrage ; and prepare to place in the hands o f our mothers, our wives, our sisters and our daughters, the ballot which w ill checkmate the skin-deep dreams o f E m pire !

Let the Democratic party strip the skin o f the Radical lion from the recreant limbs o f the Imperialists, and hang thereon the ca lf s skin o f defeat!!

Let us revive the war cry and the spirit o f ’76!Let the Democracy write on their banner, “ N o Taxation

They are in some States ready for this. Let them awaken to the true state o f the case: all along the line raise the flag o f “ Emancipation for Woman,” and in this sign conquer.

From zone to zone, from sea to sea, let the rallying shout o f Democracy r in g ; along river, mountain and vale, " Free Suffrage and Local L ib erty !” till it swells to a song o f mil­lions triumphant.

*t »rrrnsLS psakl Andrews

[roK Ta comi.no ]

“ T V Baxic Outline o f UaiversologT” has boon announced by my publisher to appear earlier than the present date. ReeutDitl.ratiou and th ea d r ic eo f ecientidr friends, in whose jad^nieat I bare {treat confidence, hare resulted in some change in the order o f publication.

It is urged on me by my advisers. who hare read and who express their itreat interest in the success o f the larger work , that, while 1 bare regarded it as an Introduction m ere ly to the Science o f L 'u irenolooy, it <• roll, itself, to is introduced; and not alone by Introductions which speak about the sci­ence, descriptirely ( '"T h e Basic O u tlin e ''is itse lf prefaced by sereral such). but by a smaller work, less technical and elaborate, giving, nevertheless, some real insight into the nature and principles o f the science itself, and some in te lli­gible illustrations o f the w ork ing o f those principles, npon so lim ited a scale as to be accessible by the w hole in te lligen t public.

It is nrged that the larger work, by its bulk and expen- sireness, and by the g iea ter difficu lty which attaches to its more technical, aud consequently less popular form, w ill be necessarily restricted to a smaller pub lic: that it may even incur neglect, i f not misapprehension and a tem porary un­popularity, from the prevalence o f new terms and methods o f treatment, unless a previous interest is secured, on the part o f readers, by a specimen, at least, o f tho subiect first presented in a simpler and less laborious way. The v ir y great advantage o f the technicalities ot the science, as con­tained and used in “ The Basic Outline,” is not for a moment questioned; but it is again urged that an appetite for a new article o f mental food, os well as in the case o f physical nutriment, must first he cultivated, to some extent, before the people w ill appreciate, and take the trouble to learn to nse, the machinery, however simple in itse lf, by which the acqnisition and preparation o f such food are to he fa c ili­tated.

I have yielded to the force o f these arguments, and shall delay the publication o f “ The Basic Outline o f Univer- sology," until after that o f this Pream ble or “ Synopsis,” which has been prepared w ith a v iew to meet the special demand so laid upon me, w ith what success the readers o f th is litt le prelim inary work mast jndge. Brunei, when he had hnilt “ The Great Eastern,” found nearly as much d iffi­cu lty in launching her as he had met and overcome in the construction. If, by the judicious advice o f friends, or by, in a word, the use o f a ll appropriate means, I can succeed in projecting this new science on the world in such a manner as to secure its earliest and most favorable acceptance, a slight change o f programme, which pos'poues, for a litt le , the publication o f a particular work, already e lectrotyped and in proofs, w ill be o f small moment; and the subscribers for “ The Basic Outline" w ill, I doubt not, excnse the tem ­porary disappointment.

Considerable preparation has already been made, in the public mind, for such favorab le reception o f the N ew Sci­ence, by the publication o f the fo llow ing card, signed b y gentlemen who are at once recognized as among those most competent to form a just opinion npon a subject o f this Dature:

“ UN IVER SO LO G Y ."— A CARD.

The undersigned having listened to Mr. Stephen Pearl Andrews’ preliminary statement of “ Universology," and been impressed with the importance and originality of the new scientific claim, as well as with the profound research implied in It, do cordially concur in urging the publication of the work at the earliest possible date:

Parke Godwin.Isaac Lewis Peet, Prln. N . Y. Inst, for Deaf and Dum b.F. A . P. Barnard, President of Colombia College.Prof. E. L. Yoomans.Groroe Opdtke.Rev. O. B. Fhothinoham.Charles P. Dalt , President of the American Geographical

B. Emerson, M. D.T itos Munson Coan, M. D.J. West Nevins, late U. S. Vice-Consol at Genoa, Italy.John H. Staats.T. B. Wakeman.G. W. Madox.

I cut from the Washington Chronicle o f January 13, 1870, the following very brief and lucid appreciation o f the funda­mental character o f Universology. Emanating from another source, it is, perhaps,^better adapted to give, in a few words, a first proper impression o f the whole matter, than anything which I may have said, or may be able to say, on the subject:

“ Universology—Development of a N ew Science.— Mr. Stephen Pearl Andrews, o f N ew York , claims to have dis covered a new science, which he calls Universology, and which is so inclusive in its scope as to exhibit the fundamental laws which pervade and govern the universe. These laws, he contends, are few in number, but infinite in their application, and so modified by the necessities o f the various domains o f thought, being or action, in which they manifest themselves, as to present myriads o f phenomena apparently

unrelated to each other. There is, according to Mr. Andrews, really hut one -ricuce, what are now culled sciences being merely sub-sciences, or so many different manifestations o f one universal law. varied in its application according to the sphere o f its operations,

“ Just as the mathematician recognizes all the applications o f arithmetic to lie merely different ways, lor different pur­poses, o f adding numliers to or subtracting them from each other : just as he sees in the pair o f scales, the pair o f scissors, and the propulsion o f a boat by an onr or a paddle, precisely the same principle, the lever, liut so necessarily modified in its application, in each ease, as to he unrecognized by the superficial observer, so Mr. Andrews claims that all the so- claimed sciences, abstract and concrete— and, i f we under­stand him. all arts, all things, are inter-related— are, in fact, but so many varied man il est at ions o f one Supreme Law , or God’s W ill. And it is this law, and its boundless operations, that Mr. Andrews claims to have discovered and is about to publish. Such a discovery, it really made, wou ld so far transcend anv past achievement o f man, and seems alto­gether so doubtful, that tho most sanguine progressive scientist m ight well he excused for receiving the announce­ment w ith an incredulous smile, were it not for the fact that the N ew York papere contain a high ly com plim entary enrd, signed by Professor Younmns, President Barnard, o f Columbia College, Judge Daly, ex-M ayor Opdyke, Parke Godwin, and a dozen other equally em inent men, who have partially Investigated Mr. Andrew s’ cluims, calling upon him to publish his discoveries.”

I t is evident that the d iscovery o f U n iverso logy w ill not only exert a revolutionary' influence on the positive body o f systematized know ledge in the w orld , us such, that is to say upon science itself, hut equally upon the A r t o f Communi eating Scientific K now ledge ; that it w ill, in other words, re constitute the whole business of Education. I t w ill establish Unity o f Sy stem in the Educational Dom ain, for the w orld and w ill he to the rapid extension o f learning w hat the rail­road is for travel and the telegraph for the transmission o f news. The future students o f science, instead o f com ing up laboriously to some imperfect mastery o f the w hole subject through tlie details o f tw o or three special Sciences, w ill begin in the know ledge o f Universal Princip les, and w ill come down upon the w hole substrate mass o f Scientific specialties from a previously attained height o f Universal Scientific know ledge equally applicable to every domain This subject is too large to he m ore than alluded to in this place, but its importance cannot fail to he appreciated. T h e masses o f the people, in all countries, in the future, instead o| arriving at a mere know ledge o f the rudiments o f education w ill possess, in an astonishing degree, the theory and details o f all the sciences. Science w ill become popularized beyond any conception o f the possibility ot such a result which has prevailed hitherto. T h e whole people w ill en joy the e levating influences and the new powers conferred by literary and scientific acquisitions vastly' beyond w hat is n ow m eant by “ a liberal education.”

T h e discovery o f this new C entra lizing and U n itary Science w ill demand the founding o f a special Univers ity , vastly larger, in design, than any n ow or ever heretofore extant, de­voted to trie promulgation ot Universal Princip les, to the introduction o f this N e w Sy'stem of Education for the P lanet and to serve as the nucleus o f a New Universal or Planetary Government, which should accom pany the Unification o f the Science, and that o f the Language o f the Human Race. The wealth o f the world may he legitimately levied upon fa r that end.

T he classically educated reader m ay be im patient at times w ith the painstaking explanation o f the m eaning o f terms which he w ill find in m y writings ; but I w rite equally for the non-classical, and I know how necessary and gratefu l such aids o f the understanding often are to them.

gunge, which is now to ho gradually taught and introduced

in the world.The Ahvaso, and equally the Alwnsngo A lphabet, Is not

on ly capable o f w riting and printing A lw ato, but equally so o f w riting and printing French, Sanskrit, English, or any or all other languages. I t is, in o ilier words, a Universal A lphabet, and w ill first he em ployed for the more common uses ot such an alphabet— such as teaching the pronunciation o f all languages, liy a common instrument o f expression.

But the Universal A lphabet and O rthography must not he confounded w ith A lw a to itself, or the Universal Language. An Orthography, or mode o f w ritin g or spelling a language, based, o f course, on an alphabet, is m erely the dress of lan­guage. T h e same dress may go upon different languages, like a uniform, m aking them look alike as to individual sounds, and causing them to be read in a uniform w a y ; or, on the other hand, the same language, and so, o f course, differ­ent languages may don different dresses at different times, or at the same lim e in d ifferent books, etc. In Germ any, for in­stance, most books are printed in German text, but m any books are also printed in the Rom an alphabet, like English.

Th is introduction o f trie A lwasoso A lphabet for common purposes connected w ith existing languages w ill lie first at­tempted in this paper ; and a good many explanations w ill have to he made from tim e to time in relation to it, before A lcvato , as such, is preserved. W h a t is proposed is a lan­guage-reform for the whole world , reaching to all systems o f education, missionary w ork , etc., etc., and requ iring the jo in t labors o f innumerable workers for many years and genera­tions. But from the first, and all the way, the effort w ill also be made to explain everyth ing to the comprehension o f the common people, the least educated, those who have never studied any language but their own, and to lead them right along into then nderstanding of, and an in telligent interest in, the whole subject.

PHONETICS AND ALPHBETICS.

Remarks and Comments on the Alwasoso Alphabet, and the usual Accompanying Standing Matter*.

A lw a to is the name for the new scientific universal language which grow s out o f Universology. Th is name is derived, not from Greek or Latin, but from the new language itself. A l, in that language, means all or unicersal (pronounced ac­cording to the A lw asoso A lp h a b e t ); w a is the root that means language ; to is an ending which means thing. A lw a to is, then, the unioersal-speech-thing, that is to say, the uni­versal language.

Alw aso is the corresponding adjective, meaning that which belongs to A lw ato. Tho ending -so, is an adjective term ina­tion, like -ous o r -ic. T he true A lw aso A lphapet is new and symbolic, wrought out o f geom etrical forms, which are anal­ogues, or echoes, o f the sounds represented ; but as this alphabet would appear strange, it is necessary to adopt a transition-alphabet, made up from the Roman alphabet in common use, and this is characterized as Alwasoso. The ending, -soso, means quasi, or like, or approximate, like the scientific ending -ord, derived from the Greek, or like the un­pleasant English ending, -ish, as whitts/i, etc.

An Alwasoso alphabet is, therefore, au alphabet like, or substituted for the A lw aso alphabet, and the A lw aso alphabet is the proper or final and true alphabet o f A lw ato , and A l wato is the new scientific universal language which grow s out o f Universology, and Universology is the new Universal Science, which, as it goes to the elements o f all science and sciences, goes, therelore, to the elements o f language as one o f the Sciences (or one o f the Domains or Departments o f the Universe), and fouuds A lw ato, or the 'N ew Universal Lan-

[W e are in contrition about the flesh-colored paper and the red ink. Mr. J. H. N oves does indeed, as Mr. Goodm an points out, appear in a dark-blue ink on a light-blue ground, and to deny it would he mendacity. T he flesh-colored paper w ith red ink is matter that lias nothing to do w ith the On ida communist, except that it refers at some length to some o f the pleasing practices o f the Noyes confraternity. An d as for Mrs. C ro ly ’s " L o ve L ife ot Auguste Com te,” we were w rong again there. T h e last part ol it is a “ novelette,” translated by Mrs. C roly. but the first part, w e confess, is an essay. W e confess further that w e have not perused the Modern Thinker; that we had not perused it when we made the notice o f it, and that, when w e w rote the notice in question w e had not a copy o f ihe book in this office. Such are some o f the exigen ­cies o f the reviewer. But w e are not go in g to admit that a short article is not an a rtic le ; and w e stand by all that w e ever said about the remarks on the U n iverso logy ol Mr. Stephen Pearl Andrews.

Seriously', we had g iven an exam ination to the Modem Thinker; and w e had pondered a notice o f it ; hut som ebody made o ff with our copy o f it, ami the notice which w e pub­lished was based on our recollection o f its contents : and that, we are afflicted to say, tailed miserably as to the flesh-color and the light-blue and the dark-blue and the red or carmine, and the novelette. As to the real merits o f the magazine, however, our m em ory served us so w ell, as w e fimi » Ite r a renewed exam ination o f the contents o f the Modern Thinker, that w e have no disposition to fiud the least fault w ith i l — Ed.

But even s o ; wom an should be tbe arbiter r f her marital relations so long as the social and legal institutions in reference to marriage remain as they are, and tor this reason : A s I have already said, and as is w ell know n, men bare all tbe advantages, to begin with. Entire control over tbe wom an is tbe fundamental principle r f the marriage rite. Carrying n o restrictions with it, so far as spiritual life is concerned, this control increases with the progress r f time, until it becom es an abuse, as all authority does when indefinite. T b e reason w hy tbe man’s authority is abused In this relation is because he cnzti* the woman. The law o f marriage has given her to him, and he regards her as merely an appendage, or piece r f property. On the security r f this ownership he acts— it m sy be unconsciously. But, whether consciously or unconsciously, through this sense o f ow nership be ceases to feel tbe necessity of sustaining the same bearing toward, or consideration for, the wife which won the woman. T h is principle was thoroughly proved in the esse under consideration, as witness tbe man’s protesta­tions before marriage and his conduct after.

T be simple cerem ony o f marriage transformed him from an honorable, high-toned man, regarding each person’s indi­viduality and its belongings ss sacred, to a meanly inquisitive and dishonest meddler.

If, after giving the wom an to the man, there follow c 1 a clause in the marriage cerem ony, em powering, or even justi- fym g, the woman in dissolving the bond when »he begun to suffer from Us abuses, or lesving it optional with her whether she should suffer or not, sod bow long, that would be a very fair offset to the man’s authority.

Mrs. Jobs H im e s ; turning to leave her at the door o f the ladies' recepaou room r f the Senate, I encountered a group r f gentlemen, among whom was the General, w ho had just been confirmed by the Senate as Secretary o f W yom ing Territory. “ Isn’ t that ace o f those woman’ s rights w om en?" said the General. -Y e s ." I replied, - and one o f the noblest o f them." You don't mean to say that you subscribe to such doctrine; I supposed you were a h im r f sense," continued he, and a short argu­ment ensued, in which I defended female suffrage, and the General, with all the powers r f satire r f which he was pos­sessed, ridiculed it, and which was ended by my saying, u General, you are a politician, and you laugh at the idea o f female suffrage. I now predict that it will not be many years before you will be very glad to seek women's votes, and very unwilling to admit that you ever spoke as you have to-day; for I promise you this, in twelve years from now, women will vote throughout the United States.” This was greeted with a loud laugh, and those who thought me in earnest evidently thought me a fo o l The General went to W yoming, and in a very few months, and I think while he was Acting Governor, female suffrage became there an accomplished fact. I have not seen him since, and don’ t know if he has reform ed; but, as he is a politician, 1 am sure he has. I f he remains there when W yoming becomes a State, be will no doubt be willing to come to Congress. Before voting for him I hope the ladies will satistv themselves that bis repentance is sincere. And not only his, but that o f all the other honorable gentlemen who may seek their suffrages. But it is too much to suppos« that female suffrage will result in the election o f the best men to office; for no such thing is possible. Universal suffrage is only a step toward perfect government, and cannot, there­fore, prove satisfactory when accomplished.

X ov. 5, 1870. WoodlmU & « M i t t 's B r i t i n rLABOE AITO CAPITAL.

Perhaps there is a no more suggestive or instructive fact in all the realm of society than that the laboring classes are the liberal classes. It is among them that nearly all social re­forms begin, and among them that all governmental reforms first find moving power. The wealthy classes are syste­matically conservative; and by instinct they are opposed to all movements which tend to equalization. They are to so­cial reform just what bigots are to religious liberalization. They adopt a creed which their practice is never to depart from, and it is only by the force of the large majority of the people combined against them that they ever do depart from them. The time was when it was the grossest infidelity to question any of the extravagant assertions contained in the Bible; but nearly all Christian sects now assume the right to place their own construction upon what is found there­in. This construction is found to grow more human and liberal every year. Twenty years ago, the more “ hell-fire and brimstone' a minister gave forth, the more Gospel it was considered that he taught. The same rule obtains in regard to all social questions, and the same rule of extending liberalization will continue, until the balancing point of equalization is reached, in which there shall be no power to determine for the individual, except himself or herself, what is for his or her individual good, or what to him or her is right.

Wealth, in its present position, is aristocratic; and Labor, in its present position, is democratic. Aristocracy always assumes to control that which is under it, in a material sense. It has always assumed this control, and whenever possible has exercised it. This assumption has been exercised so long that those over whom it has been swayed have come to regard it assomething approaching a “ divine right.” This condition of servitude was possible so long as ignorance pos­sessed the masses over whom it sought control. When edu­cation began its silent yet potent work, the power of assumed “divine right ” began to weaken. General education is all that the world requires to emancipate it from the rule of all kinds of aristocracy. Common schools for children and the public press for adults have done and are doing the work of emancipation.

It was not until quite recently that the representatives of labor began to know the benefits to be derived from organi­zation. They do not yet know the full benefits which it is possible for them to obtain from it; much that they do obtain from it, is, on the whole, deleterious, rather than beneficial. They require more general knowledge. They need the aid of science to point out the paths in which they should seek to walk. Science, to the organizations of labor, is what dis­cipline is to the army. Without it the first is powerless, and the last dangerous to those who command and support it.

It is very much to be regretted that so much of bitter de­nunciation of the wealthy is heard among laborers. It shows that they, if possessed of the power, would wield it more de­spotically than it is now wielded by those possessing it. Force, as a regulator, can at best be but a mere temporary makeshift, which, unless quickly followed by justice in organization, degenerates into absolutism. This is the danger which it is to be feared would follow the elevation of labor into the po­sition now occupied by wealth. Hence it is that it takes long years of disappointment to chasten the hearts of those who seek change, before the order of civilization will allow it to come in its fullest extent.

Could changes in society be arranged and managed as changes in other departments are, no danger would ever supervene. New railroad bridges are never constructed be­fore the old ones are removed, and throughout the process of change the trains continue their regular movements. So it will be with society, when science shall have so enlightened the people that they shall know just what they are preparing to pass to.

The Labor Party now desires to be elevated into political place and power, but have its advocates any well-defined ideas regarding the results which are to follow such a change in the administration of government? It is much to be feared that the same old story of “ Make hay while the sun shines,” would be the ruling element. We would not have it understood from these suggestions that we are opposed to such a change as the success of the Labor Party would im­ply. Any change cannot be for the worse. Principle could not, in any event, be less the ruling power than now ; nor could money buy more politicians than it does now. One has to spend but a “ season” in Washington to convince him­self that there is a deal more truth than there is vulgarity in the saying, that “ money makes the mare go.” Representa­tives and Senators who prate with loudest mouths of patriot­ism and devotion, spend all their own money and all they can borrow to get to Congress, and retire to private life, hav­ing mad' a fortune upon “ five thousand a year”. The inference is too palpably plain. It is not necessary for us to say that all such fortunes are the results of bribery and corruption, and their possessors public thieves, and utterly unworthy of the confidence of honest devotees to a popular form of gov­ernment.

It is this species of corruption that is becoming a stench in the nostrils of all those whose patriotism is more than pocket deep. In its growth they see the process of natural disin­tegration begun, which they well know cannot continue in- indefinitely without bringing destruction to our country. The almost criminal indifference with which the masses of the people regard these examples of the power of money, over

the consciences of those to whom they have intrusted their most sacred political rights, speaks badly for the safely of re­publican institutions, as now operated. A saving power is needed. Where shall it be sought ? All true reformers are looking to the Labor Party for it. Let it unite to itself the principle of equal rights, regardless of sex, and it will suc­ceed. Then, if it fills its mission well, it will prove itself to be what the present demands, to crush corruption which is so rapidly permeating our whole body politic.

A WOMAN'S PLEA.

BY A. ALPHONSE DAYTON.

Since tears will never bring me back The adomtiou of thy heart,

I bow my spirit's pride and plead Your full forgiveness e'er we part.

'T is not the past that biings to me This deep, deep pain and utter dread,

But that from all the future years The sunshine of your love has fled.

No, nol the past holds only this,Glad, happy days and sunny skies,

Your love enshrined within my soul,Fraught with the sweetest memories.

’Twas one long day of joy to me,A paradise o f perfect bliss

That even bears some blossom still To shed their fragrance over this.

You know not how a woman's heart,Through silent length of lonely years,

W ill treasure up a laded love Am id its solitude of tears.

I f I have been untrue, the proof W ill only bring a deeper pain,

And all my lips can ever say W ill not restore your love again.

Your scorn may follow me through life And stamp its seal upon my name,

Which memory will only hold Weighed down by deep, reproachful blame.

But when my heart enshrined such love A s it has felt and feels for you,

'T w ill keep its unrequited faith Till Time reveals and proves it true.

Stirpiculture—Breeding Out and Out—Embryo Cul­ture-One Universal Nation.

That the human race is to be meliorated by the application of scientific principles in pro-creation, is a truth that must force itself upon the conviction of every thoughtful, unpreju- dicedmind. There will, nevertheless, inevitably exist a lack of unanimity of opinion regarding the superior method for the ultimate accomplishment of this grand desideratum.

Not less than three distinct methods have been publicly advocated,by the instrumentality of which this desirable end, it is claimed, may be attained. First, 8tirpiculture,or “ breed­ing in and in—the first law, and foreign infusion (of blood) the second ; the first controlling, the second exceptional.” The enforcement of these laws is also to be accompanied by a stringent selection of males. The substratum of the second mode is the acknowledgqd law of temperamental adaptation, together with a recognition of the transmission of hereditary mental and physical qualities. Breeding out and out; con­glomeration rather than segregation. The third is a scien­tific gestation, or embryo-culture; founded upon laws in ac­cordance to which the state of the maternal mind and body, during pregnancy, exerts a formative influence upon the brain and person of the unborn being.

Of the first method may be stated, that however well founded or efficacious is its nature, it is practically impossi­ble of application in the important present. It is not in con­sonance with the tenor of our social, judicial or religious in­stitutions; being related to the distant future rather than the present; to the glorious millennium, when religion will be able to “ keep millions of intelligent men and women, who, under the dictates of science, ought not to do so, from propa­gating their kind,” nnd when fools and diseased men will love science well enough to ‘ make themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake.’ ’’ And even in that eventful day its success may well l>c doubted ; for of all the beings inhabiting earth, none probably are so subject to hereditary predisposition to disease as civilized man. Our domesticated animals, doubtless, are not one hundredth part as liable to such physical imperfections: yet it is upon analogous reason­ing, derived from the latter source, that the devotees to Slirpiculture chiefly rely. “ Iu the careful breeding of cattle at least ninety-six per cent, come to maturity, and of horses ninety-five per cent., even in this our rugged climate; while of the infinitely more precious race of men, at least thirty- three per cent, perish in the bud of infancy or blossom of youth."—(Mass. State Report.) As an unavoidable conse­quence, when the blood is tainted with a latent or patent in­evitable tendency to disease, consanguineous marriage would necessarily develop this obnoxious predisposition; therefore, but few individuals, not excepting the most tal­ented or even geniuses, could adopt this mode, while all oth­ers would hence be compelled, unless they mads " eunuchs" of themselves, to practice in accordance with the second or third ; either or both of which they could do, aud iu conjunc­

tion, with impunity and profit. Yet persons possessing a temperamental equilibrium and blood untainted might, ad­vantageously, perhaps, in some respects, adopt the breeding in and in system.

Scientific, historical and empirical evidence at least pre­ponderates decidedly in favor of adoption of ti>e second me­thod, as compared with the first. Research has discovered the existence of an universal law of temperamental affilia­tion or adaptation, which in the generation of superior off­spring cannot be disregarded with impunity : yet, in comply­ing with this, the admonitions of the law of inheritance are not by any means to be ignored. Agriculturists are perfectly cognizant of the fact that soil adapted to the growth nnd per­fection of one variety of plants is not as favorable for the germination and development of the seeds of another. The same law applies with equal force, and should guide the ac­tions of the scientific husbandman in human soil. It com­mands the union of dissimilar and not similar temperaments or blood (the first being but an external manifestation of the state or quality of the latter); and the truth of this is sub­stantiated by the following quotation from Darwin, in bis " Origin of Species” and a doctrine which he maintains in bis later works: “ I have collected,” says be, “ so large a body of facts, showing, in accordance with the almost univei- ssl belief of breeders, that with animals and plants a cross be­tween varieties or between individuals of the same variety, but of another strain, gives vigor and fertility to the off­spring; and, on the other band, that close inter-breeding di­minishes vigor and fertility.” (!!) Intermixing, however would interfere with the formation and establishment of new strains which, in process of time, like that of the ancient Jews, might become permanent and distinct races; and which would necessarily be the consequence should the plans of the Stirpiculturists be carried out to their logical se­quence; and would not such retrocession become an insur­mountable obstacle to the grand and final triumph of univer­sality, to the covergence of mankind into one great and glo­rious nation, discoursing in an universal language, kneeling at the same altar, and finally under the jurisdiction of one universal government? The Jews are triumphantly in­stanced by the advocates of Stirpiculture, as a living illus­tration of its remarkable and beneficial effects. True, they have established a distinct race and character, nnd also pre­served their integrity unimpaired through the trials and vi­cissitudes of many generations; yet, compare the scientific, philosophical or even historical record of those nations who have bred in and in to the greatest extent, as the Jews, Chi­nese, Hindoos, etc., witli those other nations, of wei-Urn Eu­rope, who are the result of a grand intermixture of barbaric races. The former, with the dust of ages discoloring their hoary locks, have utterly failed to accomplish what in a lew short, energetic years was easily performed by mongrel races. Galton, in his “ Hereditary Genius,” states that the ancient Athenians were iutellectually as much superior to tlie modern Europeans as the latter are to the negroes, and this wonderful result was effected in accordance with the principles, accidentally and imperfectly applied, of the sec­ond mode, namely, a union of dissimilar blood and superior hereditary qualities. Owiug to allurements held out to the intellectual ot all nations, scholars congregated at Athens, and by n process of intermarriage, laid the foundation of the finest race in history. Again, were not the followers ot Rom­ulus of multifarious origin ? Yet, did not the descendants ot tliis commixture of blood erect the grandest empire the world has ever beheld? Philip ol Macedon, Alexander the Great, Frederic the Great, and unnumbered others of the world’s illustrious sons were of mixed race! Facts speak in unmis­takable language; theory, in dulcet hut deceptive tones.

The third mode, Kmbryo-cvlturf, is destined to be not less essential or effective than cither of the preceding in the re­generation of mankind. It is based substantially upon the fact that the condition of the mother, mentally and physi­cally, during gestation exerts a ]>otenti.il influence over the configuration and essence of the body, as well as the future characteristics of the embryotic child.

To unfold this art in all its manifold bearings, to state the laws relating thereto, already discovered, and to enumerate the data from whence they were deduced would fill a vol utne; consequently, space nor time will permit of but s very superficial glance at the subject. That a mopt intimate rela­tion exists between tbe maternal mind and embryo, must be patent to all who are in the least acquainted with such phe­nomena as " mother’s marks." ranging, as they do, in diver­sity, from simple bodily excrescences to abject and i bolie monsters. Nor is Ibis maternal influence confined to tbe body alone; it likewise extends to the development of tb« mind. The basic idea of this specie» of human melioration is, that these cff.'Cts may be produced, to no small degree, voluntarily as well as involuntarily !—a fact which cannot uo soon be recognized by parent*.

From tbe hasty and necessarily imperfect glance at the pre­natal improvitnent of offspring, we perceive that it »ill hr conic a acicncc and an art, and one not the least in inewn plenty

E E K L Y .T o the P ublic.— A t the moment o f go ing to press, w e

are credibly informed that a combination has been made to

stigmatize our paper, by a name understood as “ Black M ail." W e have but to point to our articles upon companies perpe­

trating frauds on the public, and which could, and, doubtless,

would, have given us large amounts to suppress these arti­

cles— more than w e can make in many months by a course o f independent in tegrity—to contradict in the most thorough

manner this gross device o f fraud to prevent its own overthrow.

THE STUPENDOUS INTENDED FRAUDS.

“ SPURIOUS (COUNTERFEIT) MEXICAN BONDS.”

Attempt to Rob the United States and Mexico of $322,907,518 33.

Who are the Creators, Counteifeiters or Issuers of the Mexican Bonds Declared to be Spurious (or

Counterfeit) by the Mexican Legation ?

B e liev in g tha t w e had c learly exposed the M exican B on d transaction, characterized as “ spurious, or fraudu ­l e n t by the legation o f that R epu b lic , i t was not our inten­tion to have said m ore on the sub ject; bu t i t becomes necessary to do so because o f a letter, w h ich was

handed us b y “ C olonel ” M ackay, stating tha t w h a t w e had published were the lies o f a “ v in d ic t iv e w retch ,” w ho had tr ied to g e t the “ sole con tro l o f the c o n tra c t; ” that the New York “ Herald once th ou gh t he had d iscovered a

m are's nest ” in the same affair, hu t d iscovered tha t he had not m oney enough to “ pay the dam ages,’ ’ etc. T h e w r ite r o f the le tte r then attem pts to exp la in the c o n tra c t;

alludes to h is “ in tu itions ” th rou gh s p ir its ; bu t w hether these spirits are the unseen im pa lpab le form s o f air, or the sp irits confined b y m ateria l glass and cork , th e ga llan t

“ Co lonel ” does not exp la in , and, from the ram bling, in ­coherent langu age o f his letter, i t is d ou b tfu l i f he rea lly knew w h ich he m eant w hen i t was w ritten . T h e “ C o lon el ” ta lks o f “ assassination,” hu t w h ere i t has been or is in ­

tended to be tr ied is le ft in doubt. H e likens us to “ K in g

W i l l i a m s a y s “ w e h ave conquered the w retch w h o is know n,” and begs us n o t to pub lish m ore, “ lest our

readers m ay d ou bt our s incerity .”B u t fo r some assertions in at, th e genera l absurd ity o f

the le tter w ou ld cause i t to pass unnoticed. These asser­

tions w e n ow dea l w ith .A s to the tru th o f our in form ation , w e repeat

th a t i t cam e from our correspondent in W ash in g ton. W e have evidence tha t i t is, and w e b e lie ve i t to

he correct. It s source is p r in c ip a lly o ffic ia l, and the party w h o co lla ted the facts is in a social pos ition in the c ity o f

W ash ing ton w h ich , from “ Co l.” M ackay 's language, he is n o t accustomed to approach, m uch less to enter. F rom th e in form ation thus obtained, the artic les w h ich h ave ap­

peared were w ritten in our ow n ed ito r ia l rooms. W e c la im the entire authorship, and assume the entire respon­s ib ility , fea ring neither “ Co lonel ” M ackav ’s “ S p ir itu a l ” friends nor those o f the m aterial assassin-like o rd er w h ich he alludes to, and w h ich an anonym ous le tte r rece ived tw o days since cautions us against. W e doubt i f oar correspondent ever saw W ood h ou s* o r th is va lian t

‘ Colonel.” and we positively know that the said corre­spondent does not meddle w ith or seek to control any such infamous contracts as the Mexican Minister alleges this one to be. H er position precludes all such possi­b ility.

W e do not believe that the New York llerald has ever been deterred by fear from exposing this so-called Mexican contract ; but that respectable paper can take care o f itself, even i f M exico should find and g iv e the “ Boots o f Bom­basíes ” to the valiant “ Colonel,” and he should march in them upon Mr. Bennett.

W e have no fear that our readers w ill doubt our sin­cerity, and hence we w ill make stilt clearer the charge o f fraud which M exico, through her accredited minister, has placed upon these “ spurious bonds.”

T he “ lies ” which the “ Colonel ” is so fond o f speaking of, probably start w ith the first form ation o f the long- named U nited States European, etc., etc., Land and M in ing Company, for we hear from no less than three sources that this same “ Colonel ” has declared its organization a fraud ; that the lands form ing its sole capital belong to himself, personally ; that they never had been conveyed to that Com­pany, and never could he. These lands are said to be in W est V irg in ia ; i f there they constituted the whole capital, according to the “ Colonel.” o f this long-tailed Company, o f which he is n director ; and yet, upon his assertion, it docs not possess even that capital, and hence, as it purported to he form ed under the N ew Y o rk Association laws, w ith this property as its basis, it falls to the ground non-existent. and the M exican contract falls w ith it, because it thus ap­pears b y the “ C o lon ers ” own statement to have been made only w ith a myth. Possib ly the existence o f a legal tit le in the “ Colonel ” to such lands may be qu ite as m yth ica l as any part o f th is affair.

In his letter this “ Colonel ” says : “ A fte r the contract was signed, I grant you that it appeared that General Carvajal intended to use it to defraud his own Govern ment . . . to depose Juarez," etc. Thus the “ C o lon e l” exposes more rascality than w e were before aware of, and g iv es new evidence— w hether true or false he knows best— o f the worthlessness o f th is contract as a lega l and b ind ing ob liga tion on M exico.

Since our exposure o f th is fraud, m any parties have called upon us, ask ing the means o f redress, stating that they had been v ic tim ized b y purchases o f these bonds.

T h e in form ation in th is w ill possibly enable their counsel to determ ine the best mode.

T h e M exican M inister, in his pub lic notice, issued at W ash ington , January 26, 1867, says: “ Sp u r io u s M exican Bonds are b ein g offered in the m arket at lo w rates.These fraudulent bonds are reported to be issued under a pretended contract w ith D an iel W oodhouse, represent in g the U n ited States, European and W est V irg in ia Lan d and M in in g Com pany. . . . T h e pub lic are herebycautioned, under instructions from the M exican M inister, against purchasing these spurious bonds."

“ Sp u r io u s ” is a strong term w h ich was thus app lied by a nation ’s envoy and M in ister P len ip oten tia ry to these so ca lled bonds, or im ita tion o f oonds, w h ich w ere to repre­sent a nation ’s credit. Tech n ica lly and le ga lly “ spurious means “ counterfeit,” and in th is sense the M exican M in ister

uses it, fo r he declares the so-called bonds “ fraudulent,” and cautions the pub lic against th e ir purchase.

W h eth er the question o f actual “ counterfeiting” the bonds

w ill arise depends en tire ly upon those w h o have been v ic t im ized b y th e ir sale and in the action th ey may

institute.In the instructions issued b y M ex ico to General Carvajal,

as pub lished in our last issue, tha t officer, in the f if th article, is au thorized to con tract a loan to an amount lim ited b y the num ber o f “ fo re ign ers ” w h ich he shall

actually muster into the service o f M ex ico, and th a t the contract fo r the loan shall on ly ex is t and he b in d in g when

these foreigners and the arms they are to use shall he landed in Mexico ; and it is p ro v id ed in the sixth artic le that the obligations to be issued are not to be binding u n til the money therefor shall have been received.

In the im paired cond ition o f M exican c red it i t was not

lik e ly th a t any man o r men o f means and sound ju d gm en t w ou ld supply arms o r m oney upon such conditions, and i f the va lian t “ C o lonel ” M ackay te lls the truth regard in g

C arva ja l i t is qu ite possible that P res iden t Juarez thought that o fficer w ou ld , under such instructions, be less in ju ri­

ous abroad than in in tr igu in g at hom e fo r his “ déposai.”In the eleventh artic le the entire au thority fo r action

e ither fo r m ustering men in to the service o r fo r issu ing

ob liga tion s fo r loans, is lim ited to one year's duration— from N ovem b er 12, 1864 ; the pow ers o f C arva ja l therefore ceased on the 12th N ovem b er, 1865. I t fo llow s, then, th a t any o b li­

ga tion th a t cou ld b ind M ex ico should have been issued w ith ­in the lim ited p eriod , ». before N ovem b er 12, 1865, and

these should be fo r men or m aterials delivered in Mexico, or

fo r money actually received, and in each case the ob liga tion there for requ ired the written signature o f General C arva­

jal. I t cou ld not be appended a fter th a t period , nor a ffixed in advanee o f the actual reception o f the consideration.

There is nowhere in the “ appointment” or in the “ instruc­tions” the righ t to delegate this signature to others, there­fore it could not be so delegated or used ; hence, any imi­tation o f it would seem & counterfeit on the Government o f M exico. In this the victims may seek redress.

So far as seen we find no bond has the wnttsn signature o f General Carvajal. So far as we can lenm, no bond was issued before Novem ber 12, 1865. Each one lias an imita­tion, a “ spurious” or a “ counterfeit” engraved representa­tion ol the name and o f another name unknown to the “ in­structions," but also engraved to represent a fae simile or

counterfeit.”Th is issue o f bonds is not, then, by authority o f Mex­

ico, under her instructions to Carvajal, for no men or munitions o f war nor money were supplied for them, nor do they appear by any evidence to have been created w ith in the lim it o f tim e prescribed, and none hear the ac­tual, the absolutely necessary written signature o f Carvajal, but only its counterfeit representation. W h o creates these bonds 1 I t rests between the U n ited States, European, W est V irg in ia Land and M in ing Com pany; and the Ln- grav in g company. Th is last, at page 32 o f W oodhouse’» memorial before the Mexican Commission, is designated the “ U n ited States Bank N o te Com pany;” hut upon in­qu iry w e find it failed, was succeded by the “ Colum bian;” this also fa iling, was succeeded by the “ Manhattan Engrav­ing Com pany.” These companies appear to have been car­ried onby nearly Ihe same parties in the d irect interest, and the last seem» to have been the one which executed the printing. Its factotum seems to be one M. C. Eaton, and between him and W oodhouse the negotiations for sale o f the bonds appear to have been carried on. Th is Eaton is represented to have been active in this, and it is asserted he has been aided by an Israelitish law yer whose natural greed blinds h im to lega l consequences.

T h e lega l questions, then, w h ich the victim s w ill find necessary to test a re : A re these M exican bonds technically counterfeits ?

H ave the tw o companies, that is, the Land and M ining Co., and the E ngrav in g Co., been engaged in this work of creating and uttering “ spurious ” or “ counterfeit ” bonds, as charged by the R epub lic o f M exico, or does the act rest on.y upon the indiv iduals engaged in it ? W il l a c iv il ac­tion for receiv ing money rest upon the D irectory in these respective companies, or must i t he o f a crim inal nature upon the actors, the “ President,” the Factotum and the Israelite ?

BALTIMORE AND OHIO RAILROAD COMPANY, PARKERSBURG BRANCH.

Over-Issue of Stock—Extraordinary Railroad “ On Dit.”

A n over-issue o f stock to the extent o f $2,000,000, of the Parkersburg branch o f the B altim ore and Ohio R ail- • road, is spoken of. I t is supposed that Mr. Crawford, the Treasurer, fo rged the name o f the President. T he forged stock is said to have been hypothecated for $700,000 and the money rece ived therefor by th ree parties o f the highest commercial standing (oh , o f course !) and the deposit o f it changed from day to day to Chicago, F redericksburg and Baltim ore. Mr. Craw ford, the Treasurer, appears to have

led a qu iet life and neither to have spent nor required the money, hut to have been a cat’s-paw fo r other parties. D e­

tectives ascertained that there was an ex isting object on the part o f the B a ltim ore and O hio R a ilroad Com pany to so p lace the affairs o f the Parkersburg branch as to pre­ven t its being bou gh t b y the Pennsylvania R ailroad , who

were try in g to obtain the road, as it cu t the connection of the Baltim ore and Ohio. I t is fu rther said that when the

detectives had gathered th is much, the matter was compro­mised (oh , o f course !) b y the parties, to p reven t a crim inal prosecution and exposure, and that the stock was bought

back a t e igh ty cents on the d o lla r 1 !!

ONE MORE UNFORTUNATE.

T h e Galveston, H ouston and Henderson R a ilroad Com ­pany o f T exas m ortgage bonds are now in process o f fore­

closure. So i t goes on : a ra ilroad is b u i l t ; three tim es its

cost in ra ilroad bonds, besides stock, is sold b y the hank­ers, “ a limited amount f o r a short time only," and when all

are sold there is a foreclosure sale o f the road under the watered m ortgage bonds, and in all p robab ility i t is bought

in fo r a song by the o rig in a l w aterin g p o t builders, to re­commence the same “ lit t le gam e.” W h y , sw in d lin g w ith“ loaded d ice ” is respectable to th is, on ly------ not so

profitable.

THE ONEIDA COMMUNITY CELEBRATION.

t h e c h i l d r e n 's i t o r s * .

The Oneida Community recently held » celebration, by way of dedicating their new house for the community chil­dren. Music, songs, tableaux and speeches were the order of the moment, and the festivities wound up with s proces­sion, in which the front ranks were occupied by grandmoth­ers, mothers holding their babies, and expectant mothers. Augusts R. Hamilton, a very bright and attractive young woman, thanked God that she had been permitted to be the mother of e Community child, and remarked that in the Community there could be no orphanage. Every infant, she said, had a hundred loving fathers and mothers, and its mental training and physical wants would be abundantly eared for.

J. J. Skinner said:" In thinking of what wc are doing to-dar I have been led

V> compare our condition at present with what it was twen­ty-two years ego, when I first came to Oneida. I remember that w* landed, one summer day, at the old log hut across the creek, with its one room about fifteen feet square on the ground-floor, and a little closet on the west side, containing

the cooking «love. Our sleeping apartments wi re in the st- I tic, to which wc climbed bv a sort of ladder; and when there I we made our beds on the floor. Kor a lawn we had the mud anil clav of the road and creek banks, and for flowers we had the burdocks and thistles. Contrast with such conditions our surroundings In place of the log hut, behold this spa­cious mansion, which it would be superfluous to describe to you wlio are all familiar with it. In place ot docks, thistles and mud, behold our velvety lawns and flower-gardens, which are the delight and admiration of thousands of visit­ors."

Mr. E. H. Hamilton, an earnest and enthusiastic man, spi ke o f this cimulry in the future as possessing " lo fty tow ­ers and grand facades, surrounded by busy workshops, beau­tiful fields, and every sign o f plenty, peace and happiness, in­cluding happy men, pregnant women, and blooming, obe­dient children, passing to and fro am ong the fine buildings, and over the beautiful fields and lawns, all in unity and love. This w ill be a picture o f what w ill perhaps, one day, be as true o f every portion o f our greut country as it now is o f this Oneida valley.”

W h y Mr. Ham ilton should mnke pregnant women a neces­sity o f liis pretty picture, is difficu lt to imagine. W om en can occasionally enjoy existence quite w ell w ithout the ad­jec tive which the good Mr. Ham ilton appends os an essential to their happiness.

that N apo leon 's fear o f P a r is was the cause o f h is com p le te

T roch u is ab le to present shows w h a t M acM &hon m igh t

cumstances are re ferred to in o rd er to show that

the course E uropean even ts h ave taken, is

th rou gh ou t a ll its parts, p e r fe c t ly consistent. W h en

If victory does not, from this time, incline to France, and if King William can compel a disadvantageous peace, the course events have thus far pursued, will change. So far, it has been against personal domination and power, and in favor of the people, and thus it will continue, whatever the immediate apparent results may be. Peace may su­pervene. and apparent qniet may be restored to Europe; but nothing could be more deceptive than such a consum­mation, built upon present conditions. The thrones of

Europe arc doom ed. T lie people have proclaimed it, and through whatever tem porary subterfuges its culmination may be defered, the decree cannot be set aside. A h igher thau human pow er is ou t-w ork ing itself, which bends all human deeds into its own channels. And i f K in g W illia m does become the successor o f the re­nowned Charles the F ifth , it w ill on ly be to mnke the stsp to the republic s till m ore decided as an epoch in history.

T he error o f nations has always been the attem pting to defer the ev id en t decrees o f governm enta l evolution. N o th in g occurs th a t does not com e as the natural conse­quence o f p re-ex isting causes, and they alone are wise who endeavor to catch the insp iration o f present causes, and to assist instead o f obstruct the ir tendencies. T he failure to do this on the part o f nations brings all their discords, strifes nnd wars.

T h e tendencies o f the present age are everyw here to unity in some one or m ore o f the branches o f social science. L ook where you m ay, the w o rk o f assim ilation is go ing on. T h e com m on interests o f hum anity are beginn ing to be recogn ized , and the fact tha t the interests o f humanity include national and in d iv id u a l interests is also g row in g in the m inds o f the people. I t is th is fact w h ich makes those w ho en joy p o lit ica l freedom sym path ize and involuntarily side w ith the cause o f France at th is tim e. T h e sympa­thies o f the freed w orld , w h ich were at first d iv id ed , as between N apo leon and K in g W illiam , are now concentrated upon France. C ou ld the vo ice o f the free, enlightened peoples o f the w o r ld be united, nnd m ade effective, France

w ou ld not lon g contain a hostile foe.G overnm ental s tab ility depends upon governm ents keep­

in g fu lly up w ith the demands o f the ir peoples. N o gen­

eral dem and cannot be entertained by a m a jority , nor even by a respectable m in ority o f peop le, and be entire ly ignored

b y the governm ent, w ith ou t danger to the governm ent.

Thus, in E ng lan d to-day, there is a large elem ent in sym ­

pathy w ith France, and opposed to the p o lic y o f the g o v ­ernment rega rd in g France. Shou ld the s tru gg le in France

be p ro longed , w ith about equal chances o f success, this

fee lin g w il l rise in to danger fo r the governm ent, to avo id

wh ich , it should jo in in the popu lar current, and lend its

in fluence to the side o f freedom ; ana the same rule holds

g o o d upon our ow n soil.The general tendencies of the age being to unity of na­

tions, those which arc possessed of any binding ties, as of race or tongue, should recognize the drift, and act upon its evident teachings. One of the most prominent character­istics which should unite nations is found possessed by England and the United States. Their people speak the same language and are of the same race, with this excep­tion, that in the United States all races are being amalga­mated into one and a new race, which, when completely ac­complished, will be representative of nearly every race upon earth. It is this very distinguishing fact which ap­points this country as the future arbiter of the destinies of the world. In the recognition of this prospective position this country should begin taking steps toward it, one of the first of which should be, to bring about a consolidation of all people speaking the English tongue. If at first nothing more can be done, there should be offensive and defensive alliances formed with England and with all Re­publics. This would soon develop such a mutuality of interest as would show the people that their interests would be still further promoted by uniting under one Gov­ernment, or at least by the establishment of a presiding power among the heads of the several Governments repre­sented.

Under the present condition of things upon the Conti­nent England would not be averse to such relations as might well be enteied upon with us. There is no obstacle to the complete governmental unity of the countries, except that England is to-day a monarchy. No one can contemplate the possibility of such a unity without being profoundly impressed with what a power it would exer­cise upon the outside world. Such a unity would develop a power that would show other nations the necessity of consolidation, and thus the grand work of unity would pass on from one consolidation to another, until the whole world would almost unconsciously be rendered a unit or the more immediately, two nearly equal powers.

For such a consummation is it not worth making the effort to bring about the first step, the unity of the Eng­lish-speaking people ? This is a matter of more vital con­sequence than any other matter the coming Congress will have to consider. 'Who among our Senators or Represen­tatives is there who will take the important position of leader in this most important movement of the centuries ? And who among the liberals in England will give it the attention required there. It is an inevitable result, and those who lend it their countenance and aid will be ac­counted the wise ones of the day in after time.

It has been said before that it is a sight which all possess which can see accomplished facts, but it is quite a different kind of sight which sees those which are to come. It is this sight which makes statemen ; it is the former sight which develops just such struggles as the one now com

SCIENCE A N D OFFSPRING.

The screen which conceals the varied arcana o f nature is being rapid ly drawn aside by the scientists o f the nineteenth cen tu ry; and am ong the most astonishing and pre-em inently the most beneficial ol the secrets thus exposed is the exist­ence o f a law govern ing human nature, by the instrum ental­ity o f which the mind o l the mother, exerted pre-natally, can be made to, and has a marvelous effect in the form ation both o f the character and,the person o f offspring.

Notw ithstand ing the existence o f this law , and its easy substantiation by an abundance o f facts, learned doctors have scouted the idea as they did the d iscovery o f the circulation o f the blood. Jenner was termed a quack and a lunatic.

In a necessarily b rie f article devoted to this subject it would be impossible to'enum erate all or even a respectable part of the data by which the reality and effic iency o f this great law has been proven. A m ere statement o f its nature and potency, w ith perhaps a few illustrative facts w ill be all that space w ill a llow .

in the form ation o f the character o f eve ry individual there are chiefly but tw o fundamental forces o r laws brought into operation, the first being that o f inheritance, the second, a law by which the state o f the m other’s m ind during p reg­nancy is, to a greater or less extent, in fluential in m ould ing both the mind and body o f the offspring. Thus the la tter force m ay either prove instrumental in prom oting the tenden­cies o f inheritance, or it m ay be exerted so p ow er fu lly and antagonistically as to counteract its influence altogether.

This second law accounts for the w ell-know n superiority o f the mothers o f great men ; fo r their nob le and asp iring thoughts w ere by this process reproduced in a m ore intensi­fied manner in their sons, though augm ented perhaps by means o f the law o f inheritance.

Absurd as it m ay appear, a thorough understanding o f this law w ill enable parents to produce in o ffspring app rox i­m ately any cast of m ind they m ay desire, be it good , bad or indifferent, philosophical, lite ra ry o r com m ercia l. T h ere are unnumbered instances o f ch ildren being “ m arked ” b y in­volun tary impressions created in the m ind o f the pregnant mother. A t this period fem ales are m ore susceptible to e x ­ternal o r internal influences than at any other tim e o f life. A lm ost every in te lligen t observer has m et w ith these b od ily markings. Y e t few are aw are that the m ind is equa lly sub­je c t to these impressions as the grosser textu re o f the person. A n d a still sm aller number are acquainted w ith the undoubt­ed fact that these impressions and consequent effects are p ro ­ducible vo lu n tar ily as w e ll as involuntarily . ^

A l l that is essential to the successful accom plishm ent o f this great desideratum, i. «., the practical im provem en t o f the human race, b y bequeath ing to offspring anv desired m ental predisposition or physical qu a lity is, in the first place, that the parents shall be o f p roper temperament, health and age, and, in the second place, that the m other should exercise, and cu ltivate in herself, during the la tter portion o f pregnancy, those particu lar faculties o f the m ind, w h ich it is desirable should be most p rom inen tly m anifested in the future being. T h e m ore pow erfu l the cause the greater the effect.

A know ledge o f this subject w il l enable a carefu l investi­ga tor to com prehend .the causes o f m any o f the phenom ena o f human nature w h ich w ou ld otherw ise seem inexp licab le , such, fo r instance, as the causes o f geniuses, monsters, idiots, w h y one ch ild is m enta lly superior to another, and w h y the inclinations o f one tend in a certain d irection and another in d iam etrica lly the opposite, though born o f the same parent­age.

In the im m ediate future this w il l becom e a science, if, in truth, it is not such to day. M an y o f its facts are classified. A n d the production o f superior p rogeny, in accordance w ith the revelations o f this science, w ill becom e a fine art. A y e , the finest o f the fine arts. T h en parental artists w ill attain as im perishable a fame b y the creation o f an im ated m aster­p ieces as have an y o f the im m ortal geniuses o f the past in the production o f the inanim ated. Ind iv idu a ls o f the human fam ily w il l then take a new and v igorous stride tow ard p er­fection, and w ith w h ich the rapid im provem en t o f our do­mesticated anim als and plants w ill bear no com parison.

“ W h y, Mr. Bchn, do you have but one business suit dis played here to-day ?”

“ Because, madame, our ladies w ill not order them. They w ill weur just such suits as these.”

“ But a business wom an cannot afford such a dress.”“ Then all I can te ll you is that they w ill perseveringly

m odel their dresses in cheap materials as much like them as possible. W om en know what pleases men from experience, and they w ill dress to please them.”

TH E BUSINESS SUIT

w e were exam in ing had been designed by a customer, and was at once neat, convenient and becoming. I t was execut­ed under the direction o f M iss.Carey, the Am erican Fashion Artiste , em ployed by M cCreery & Co. I t was o f dark navy blue serge skirt, tunic, and postilion jacket s im ply trimmed w ith a broad band o f m ilitary braid. T h e heavy taps which looped the tunic were ornamented w ith large, heavy crochet buttons, and under each was a commodious pocket. The same large buttons fastened the jack et and ornamented the gauntlet cuffs upon the tight coat sleeves.

I turned from this rea lly elegant suit to the beautiful crea­tions ot M adam e Jom latier and Roberts. T h ey w ere beau­tiful in their w ay, but h ow useless for any but an idle woman fond oi d isp lay. L ite ra lly stiff w ith lavish costliness they were a wondrous com bination o f velvet, silk, guipure and plusb. T h e v e ry cheapest was priced $150. A gray poplin trim m ed w ith rou leaux plaitiugs and flat bow s o f gray satin. Undersk irt tunic and jack et litera lly bidden beneath the lav­ish ornam entation.

I do not ob jec t to ladies w ho can afford it w earing such dresses in suitable places and on suitable occasions. But I do confess I am a little im patient for the day when the “ com ­m on sense o f m o s t " shall influence w ork in g women w ho ought to m anufacture p b lic opin ion, shall w ear such gar­ments as their occupati s demand.

‘ I t must h ave raised sem e m illions from your bonds, and from the la rge num ber o f c laim s w e hear of, it wou ld appear th a t no nation eve r had such exce llen t c r e d it ."

Oh, w e n ever g a ve them any m oney.”“ H o w the deuce, then, did you ge t the bonds ?” asked the

It offers to the public its G O L D IT IE D A L S O A P , in boxes of 40 lbs., at $5 a box. and gives purchasers an opportunity for dividends on each box—the dividends ranging from $5 to $25 000. On each U',000 boxes sold, aud as soon as each 10,100 shall be sold, there will be 327 cash dividends made, varying from $5 to $50, and amounting to $2.50 >. And when 50.000 boxes shall have been sold, there will be a Final Grand Dividend of $32.- 500—viz.. A B R O W N S T O N K H O U S E ) in Rrooklvn (the Deed of which has been left with the Safe Deposit Company, 146 and 148 Broadway), in trust for the purchaser of the fortunate box, and the balance in casn dividends, from $5 to $1,000 each. There will be$45,000 DIVIDED TO PURCHASERS.in 1,635 Serial Dividends, and 866 Final Dividends, making 2,501 dividends in all. Purchasers of this

GOLD MEDAL SOAPwill receive a properly numbered bill of purchase for each and every box purchased, the holders of which will share in the Dividends in each of the 10,000 boxes to which their bills of purchase belong, and then ALL will share in the Final Grand Dividend, when 5 0 .0 0 0 boxes shall have been sold.

NOT A GIFT ENTERPRISE.This plan should not be classed with the numerous

gift enterprise humbugs. It Is an honest and legiti­mate busiuess plan for introducing to public notice the Superior Goods of an Established ana Reputable Cor­poration. The plan ie set forth in detail in the cir­culars of the Company, which can be had at 40 Murray street, or of any of the numerous local agents, and lu which reference is made, by permission, to a large number of well-known business and public men as to the integrity and honorable management of tht MYRTLE SOAP COMPANY.

THE SOAP HAS NO SUPERIOR.Purchasers will get a box of Soap at as low a price

as the same quality can be purchased in anv mar­ket ; an article warranted to be of the VERY FIRST QUALITY for family and laundry use; an articl* everv family wants and must have; an article worth evury cent they pay for it, and. in addition, without the risk or loss of one cent, will share in the liberal dividends to be made.
