According to a vote in the honae Mon
day, nine representatives favor woman

Dolph, Frye, Gallinger, Hoar, Kyle,
Peffer, Teller. Carey is from Wyoming
where women have always been allowed
to vote. Dolph has long been an ad
vocate of this reform.

granted his 116th pardon. Of these
thirty were serving sentences for mur

The average wheat yield per acre in

It i. announced that the world', fair
will not close cn the last day of October,
but will keep open as long as the weather
will permit, which will be until Thanks
giving day, or, possibly, the last of Nov
ember. So many people have postponed
their visit tq the great exposition until
the present month that it is believed the
attendance will be great enough after the
first of November to warrant keeping the
fair open several weeks.
A Washington dispatch says that the
treasury ha. issued an advance state
ment of the imports and exports for the
first nine month, of the present year.
Value of imports, 525,3S5,623 ; export.,
603,164,1S3; excess of imports over ex
port., $22,221,440. For the first nine
months of 1892 the excess of exports
over import, was $29,204,090. How
shall we get back to where we were?

The gold reserve has dwindled down
to a point lower than ever, while the
expenses of the government have in
creased many millions. This perhaps
is democratic economy, but it is not the
exact kind understood by the voter, of
the country when they decreed the
'change." They will doubtless think
four years a long time between presi
dent, before they have another chance
to install a republican. '
The much-vexed and much-disputed
question of the loftiest mountain on the
North American continent ha. at last
been settled. John Partridge, secretary
of the Geographical Society of the 1'a-:

Mt. St. Elios, Alaska, has for many
years pant beeB considered the highest,
but Orizaba has been proven to be the

as forwarded to Secretary Partridge, are :
Mt. Orizaba, 18,314 feet ; Mt. St. Elias,
18,015. "These figures," said Assistant

the lines k often and so easily beaten in idoabtle8 il interest every one to
the past. John Bull could save himself
much anguish of soul if he had the capa
city to know when he is beaten, says
the Spokane Keview.
Almost everybody is aware of the fact
that the buffalo has been bunted down
until there are very few lett, and what
used to be known as a buffalo robe is
seldom Men. It is interesting to note,
in thi. connection, that a "New York
manufacturing company is turning them
oat by the hundreds. The American
. Buffalo Robe company manufacture an
imitation buffalo robe that, nnlecs closely
examined, can not be told from the gen
uine article, and a. for warmth it has no

dog-ektn cloth coats, astrakans, lamb

ome of the good, that they make, and
they ship them to all of the northern
and western tatn.
Marshal MacMahon, who ha. just died
in Paris, was one of the greatest of living
general, and was a man of lingular
purity of character. He wa. born at the
chateau of Sully, near Antun, June 13,
1808, deccending from an Irish family
which took refuge in France after the
fall of the Stuarts. On the battle field
be won many brilliant victories and was
frequently promoted by the emperor,
lie won hi. greatest fame in 18o0 in the
campaign against Austria. He com
manded the second corps and led the
left wing of the army in the battle of
Magenta, June 4, 18."9; Napoleon com
manded the center. At the bead of the
guard the emperor wa. very hard pressed
by the enemy, and there wa. danger of
bi. being driven into the Tlcine, but
MacMahon came to hi. support, and by
throwing himself on the right flank of
the Austrian corp., which threatened
the French renter, he won the battle.
For tbi. brilliant exploit the emperor
made him on the battlefield marshal of
France and duke of Magenta.
know that the question has been settled
by so undoubted an authority."
The democratic argument for free wool
i. chiefly based on the claim that foreign
and demestic wool, do not enter into ac
tive competition ; that free foreign wool
would increase the market for domestic
wool, and increased consumption of both
would bring better prices to the Ameri
can grower than he could get nnder pro
tection. No American jonrnal has been
Mrs. Lucy Stone, who has just died in
Massachusetts, was a pioneer worker for
the rights of ber sex. When a little girl
she became indignant at the way she saw
women treated by their husbands, and
the laws, and made up her childish mind
that the laws must be changed. Her
early struggles for an education were
heroic, and .he finally succeeded in en
tering and going through Oberlin, the
only college at that time that admitted
women, earning ber way by teaching all
the time. She graduated in 1847, and
gave her first woman', right lecture the
same year. Soon after .he was engaged
to lecture regularly for the Anti-Slavery
Society. But she devoted most of her
time to lecturing on woman's rights all
over the country. in lSio she was
married, after much persnasion, to
Henry B. Blackwoll, a young hardware
merchant of Cincinnati, who was in full
sympathy with ber beliefs. It was nec
essary to send thirty mile, for a minister
who would marry them without using
the word "obey." Mrs. Stone retained
her maiden name. Mrs. Stone ha.
helped to organize many societies in be
half of women, and ha. held prominent
office in many. In 1870 she started the
Woman's Journal in Boston, which she
has edited for many years. She has
spent her later year, "in lecturing, to
gether with her husband, in .manv
states. .

A Chinese paper describe the seven
wonder which Corea, like -other Ori
entul countries, potxvMatt, aud which
pluyed a conspicuous role in antiquity.
The Corean "wonders" consist, first, of
a hot mineral sprinp near Kin Shuntao,
which ia capuble of eurinir sickness
anil disease, of all sorts. The second
wonder in the two wells, one at each
end of the peninsula, which have the
peculiar characteristic that when one is
full the other is empty. The water of
the one is intensely bitter, that of the
other hai a pleasant aud sweet taste.
The third wonder is a cold care from
which there issues constantly an ice
cold wind, with such force that a
strong man is ntt able to stand up
apainst it. A pine forest which can
not be eradicated constitutes the fourth
wonder. No mutter what injury may
be done to the roots the yotiuf? trees
spring np npoin like the phcni.x from
its ashes.
The roost remarkable, however, is
the fifth wonder the fumous hovcriiur
stone which stunds, or rather uppears
to stand, in front of a paluce erected
in its honor. This is a massive rect
angular block, free on all sides. Two
men standing, one on each end, can
draw a card underneath the stone,
from side to side, without encounter
ing any utmtucle. The sixth wonder is
a hot stone which bus lccn lyiiifc' from
time immcmoriul on the summit of a
hill and evolving a plowing hcut. The
seventh Corean wonder is a sweating
liuddlia. This if. puurded in a (Treat

It is an old belief of native Hawaiian
1 that the spirits of their warrior chiefs
inhabit after death the bodies of their
favorite horses. There is even now a
fine white stallion in Honolulu in
which, it is popularly believed, lives
the spirit of lioki, who led a rebellion
in Tahiti some years apo. At various
times this horse, splendidly capari
soned, is led riderless in state through
the principal rtreets o' Honolulu,
