DEATH OF HOEAOE GEEELET.
Since the departure of the lamented
Douglass, no man of this Nation has
died peaceably in his bed whoseservices
ti.n country could so illy afford to spare
as Horace Greeley. Like Douglass, he
had become a power of reform among
the Democrats, and his place cannot be
fillpd in another decade. J? or more
than thirty years Mr. Greeley has been
one of our most prominent public men
As a journalist he has had no superiors
aud but few equals. His ready pen
vigorous mind and vivid imagination
have left their impress upon our Na
tion's history in deeds of ineflacable
good. That he lias many times been
erratic, making mistakes which have
for a time dimmed tho glory of liis
fame, but proves Jhat he was mortal
But above all the blunders of his life
time arises the grand and glorious and
abiding truth that he lived to become
indorsed by his bitterest enemies, the
so-called Democracy of America. "What
other man has iu his natural life-time
made up such a record ? Hut his work
upon earth is not yet done. Who shall
fill his place? Who but Greeley shall
be able to hold together the discordant
Democratic elements, which he alone
could cause to coalesce upon the plane
of progression? True, Mr. Greeley's
idea of political progress was dimmed at
the last by his unreasonable prejudices
against Human Rights, as implied in
the very foundation of our National su
perstructure, but the record he has left
us also proves that this prejudice was
but a blindness of his dotage, and
harmed no one except himself. His
more vigorous early manhood was op
posed to the theory of sexual suffrage,
and if in his declining years he yielded
to the counsels of bad advisers, who led
him astray in this one particular for
their own aggrandizement, the satisfac
tion that their success in winning him
to their false theories brought no barm
to the unrepresented half of our Repub
lic's humanity should cause us to for
give the error and forget the attempted
oppression. But to whom will the
routed cohorts of Democracy look for a
leader? "What progressionist, save Mr.
Greelej, will their masses indorse?
And who is now to be the Napoleon
who shall rally them from their Mos-cous-llkc
defeat?
"ALL THE EIGHTS THEY WAHT."
"Women who have never been accus
tomed to providing wholly for them
selves, and consequently know nothing
of the hard battle of life as it is often too
sadly realized by their less fortunate
sisters, very naturally feel that they do
not care to possess the ballot; and such
women, accustomed to lead offin what
ever they consider really commendable,
Imagine that because they have not de
manded equal rights no woman should
desire to possess them. But let misfor
tune suddenly overtake these women
who have always had "all the rights
they want," aud let them, with all
the disadvantages of woman's disen
franchised position, undertake to find
employment to keep the wolf from the
door, and the: inequality of their position
soon brings them to their senses.
An estimable and accomplished young
lady of this city, who had been for some
time employed as teacher in one of our
public schools, suddenly lost her voice.
The affliction came upon her in conse
quence of over exertion in the discharge
of her duties. Of course there were
gentlemen teachers in the same school,
but, though they commanded twice her
pay, because of their sex, they failed to
do their half of the work, hence the
protected(?) woman became a victim of
overwork on half pay. The loss of her
voice was of course followed by the loss
of her situation. Being wholly depend
ent upon her own exertions for her live
lihood, she sought the office of ono of
our city lawyers, who had told her in
the days of her prosperity to come to him
if she should ever need a friend. Mode
brave by the remembrance of this as
surance, she applied to him for copying.
but her petition for work was evasively
answered, and the interview ended by
an indifferent invitation to "call again,
After a few days the lady again called
and her application for copying being
again evaded, assured tho lawyer that
she knew he had been giving such work
to men whose needs were nothing like
so great as her own. "True," said ths
honest lawyer, "but we can't afford to
help a woman, for if we do she becomes
a dead weight upon our hands at once.
It Is different with men. If we assist
them we have assurance that they can
some time return our favors with their
votes; but a woman's a dead weight

WOMAN'S TEA COMPAHY.
This firm, which was organized in the
city of New York some two years since,
under the financial control of Miss King,
a wealthy real estate dealer of that city,
has proved a complete success. A first
class ship, the Madam Dcmorest, has
been fitted up and paid for, for the exclu
sive use of thes company, and is the first
ship ever owned and employed by worn
en in their commercial enterprises.
It will be remembered that Miss King
visited the tea-growing countries of
China and Japan, spending nearly two
years in the interior, often penetrating
where no other American woman had
ever been, and collecting the purest tea
used by tho natives. During our recent
visit to New York we enjoyed several
delightful drinks of this beverage at the
headquarters of the company in the
basement of Madam Demorest's Empo
rium on Broadway, and can say truly
that this tea far surpasses the common
imported brands. The fine quality of
this tea commends it to practical users,
and it is rapidly being introduce into
every town and village in the Union,
Madam Domorest, as President of the
company, evinces an executive ability
of no common order, and her financial
intelligence is only equalled by her in
genuity of taste as queen of fashion and
design.
AN APPEAL' TOE AID.
"We have received a circular from the
proprietors of the well known Banner of
Light which states that that office aud
everything connected therewith became
a prey to the flames in the late disastrous
fire at Boston. This circular is a stirring
appeal to Liberals and Spiritualists
throughout the world for aid to enable
them to re-iss,ue the Banner. We think
our brethren made a mistake that they
did not appeal to Christians also. Cer
tainly no Christian who is not altogether
a uigot (in winch case he could not be a
vjt who nas ocen ac
quainted with the Banner for the last
year can fail to acknowledge the good it
is doing in reclaiming skeptics from the
error of their thought to a knowledge of
everlasting life. We know of no jour
nal that can take its place in the un
folding of former day mystery aud latter
day science, and we heartily say "amen"
to the prayer of the publishers that "by
the blessing'of the Great Father of us
all, they may soon bo enabled to repub

to the mind of our disenfranchised but

from that office a sadder but wiser wom

Often as we hurry past the residences of
our wealthy neighbors, whose carriages
are waiting for them at their gates, or
note their transparent look of "I am
better than you," as they bowl along the
pavement past our plebiau self, we
think half audibly, "No wonder you

are with your husbands, whose brains
are over-taxed that you may live in

ever proceeded so steadily and swift! v
iu the face of curious difficulties as that
of woman suffrage In this country. It
has had the most whimsical and often
absurd aud repulsive advocacy. It has
often seemed to be the very politics or
the moon. Extravagance and folly
have heed so hopelessly combined iu its
behalf that many of its truest friends
havo wondered that it was not pushed
from decent and candid consideration.
But such friends canuot too constantly
remember that It is the history of every
movement which is an appeal to pure
reason.
There arc no guns or clubs behind the
demand for this extension of tho suf
frage. It is conducted wholly within
the domain of intelligence. And If rid
dled with ridicule, let any sceptic recall
the biglnnlngs of Methodism. Read
Sydney Smith, and wonder how an In
telligent and liberal man could deride
some of the noblest aud best men that
ever lived. The history of the move
ment for the extension of suffrage to
women, like all the other great move
ments in this country, shows to every
youththat he who is hospitable to a lib
erty which is ridiculed entertains angels
unawares. It is safe to heed the counsel
of Condorcct, "Do not choose a man
who has ever taken side against the
liberty of any portion of mankind."
