A Ktronc Ally.
Tlie Womau .Niftragists possess a
strong ally in Bishop Simpson of
the Methodist church. He is a
pulpit orator of most wonderful
)ower, is celebrated as n lecturer,
and hence his words are of weight,
lie thinks it has come to the simple
proposition, that "society must go
down or woman must vote." He
does not think that either of the
political parties will be specially
benefitted by the right of suffrage,
as there would 1)3 but little differ.
nce between the opinions of hits
bind and wife ; but lie thinks that
the man would be refined and his
political action purified by the in
fluence of women working with
him, 7'he opponents of Woman
Suffrage take the opposite ground,
and say, that while the granting of
ttie voting franchise to women will
not increase the refinement and pu
rity of the political action of men,
it will have a tendency to lower
woman in the scale of refinement,
both intrinsically and as regarded
by man. Those latter opinions have
been 6treughthened, doubtless, by
the impression which the opinions
and conduct of some of the leading
women advocates of the measure,
have made on the general mind. It
would not be fair, however, to take
them, such advocatesas Mrs, Wood-
hull, for instance, as indicative of
the morals and refinement of the
entire class. Many noble and re
fined women, as well as noble,
.manly men, believe in women suf
frage. Bold, bad, masculine worn
en, have cast a shadow of vulgari
ty and coarseness over the agitation
of the question, which has caused
many womeu and men, whom more
refined leaders would have gained
to its support, to turn away from it
in disgust. Such advocates, as
Bishop Simpson, will do more in
promoting the cause by a sing'e lec
ture, than all such persons in a lite
time. In rix.
In the Memphis and El Paso
Railroad case at Paris, Prance,
judgment lias been rendered pro
nouncing the defendants guilty of
swindling, and sentence has been
pronounced against them for various
terms of imprisonment. ( Jen. Pre
moot is condemned (in contumaciam
(?) as it is expressed) to five years
imprisonment. Other defendants
were arrested as they were leaving
the court Fremont, who is in New
York, thinks injustice has lieen
done him in this trial. After read
ing trie testimony he found many
witnesses had perjured themselves.
On the 28th alt, he was in a quan
dary, not knowing what to do. Ife
was considering whether to go to
1 'aris and have the case reopened
and tried on its merits.
The Siwaslies eucamied at Cor
vallis have lately liegun their jolly
dances. 7'he noise they make pre

village from overmuch sleep. It
may b? feared, that some of them
thirst upon their little beds for a
Peace Commission.

The scarcity and high price of
coal in England has excited much
solicitude, esneciallv amoncr cotton
and iron dealers, though almost
.... -
every class of business is affected
by it. The suffering is widespread,
and the alarm has prompted the
suggestion that the Government
place a temporary embargo on the
exportation of coal. It has also
suggested that the laws of free
trade might bi relaxed with pro
priety for the general good. Then,
too, the discussion of the subject
has suggested the propriety of the
Government becoming the owner of
the colliers of the LTiited Kingdom,
in preference to tl e railways.

The Bulletin gives an account of
a lady in Portland who purchased
a half dozen turkeys, and took ex
cellent care of them so as to per
suade them to produce eggs ; but
all in vain. The reason developed
when her husband examined them
and found them all it-turkeys.
Charles Reed, of Yolo, Cal , ex

It is further asserted that the winter

If your ham is served cold, as is

l-'upte and Davis were in LW

other at the WiHard Motel. One
evening, seated by the Kt me fireside,
Mr. Davis rea l aond from a po'it
ieal letter of Gen, Taylor, and
made running coromei t tor Mr.
l 'oot.e's delectation, winch tin latter1

, a; heart, was a
pite of his pro
tho democratic
Taylor man ; that
fessed support oi
nominee, he would
secretly rejoice
over Gen, Taylors election. .Mr.
! Davis had married u daughter of
Gen. Taylor, and this little circum
stance, Mr. Footo suggested, was at
the bottom of hkcollestgne's compli
ment of the letter, adding, in his im
petuous way, that it would doubtless
be a very nice thing, after all, to lie
a son-in-law of the President. Mr.
Davis could not brook this sarcastic
intimation of treachery .on his part,
and retorted in severe Wiguage,
one word bringing on another, until
the "grave and reverend" came to
blows. The noise of the fisticuff
amused other Confitressmen. who
rushed into the room and separated
the combatants, admonishing theflj
of the shame which would attach
to two distinguished Senators from
the same state indulging in a dis
graceful knock-down. This view
of the matter naturally brought the
two to terms, and like the man and
Wife who "argued" the question of
"rat or mouse," they shook hands
and made friends.
"Really," said Mr. Foote, after
a smile all around, "really, I should
not have thought of such a thing as
striking Mr. Davis, if he hadn't
passed the first blow "
"Are you not mistakei about
that ?" Urged Mr. Davis, apologet
ically. "indeed, I am not," retor'ed the
impetuous Foote.
"It istny impression you struck
first," pleaded Mr. D.
"Ob, no, it v;as you."
"But Fll swear it was you."
"And I would swear it wasn't.
"You did strike first."
"I did not strike first."
"Yon did.''
"I didn't."
"Yon did.''
"I didn't,"
"Well, said Foote, at 'ast, rising
hastily from his seat, "there shan't
be any dispute asto who struck first
tl.is time" and as he spoke, dealt
Mr. Davis a stinging blow on the
cheek, which resulted in another
reco.it re, that, but for the inter
ference of mutual friends, might
have been going on until now, for
both were "game" all over. The
question as to who struck first being
thus settled, nothing serious grew
