An soon as Hard Heart bad finished His controversy with Jvorman he left him to return to his wigwam to wait till midnight, when they had agreed to meet again, to plot some cruel death for their defenceless victims, whom he sup posed were sleeping, watched by one of the most barbarous of the tribe. Midnight at length arrived. The ten warriors who had been selected to lead fortii the prisoners, advancing in a file, enteretioiie lent pi- their chief. Rising irom a slight slumber which he had fallen into, he crept softly to the place where Norman was, bidding him come forth if he would watch unperceived his enemies brought out, whom he might congratulate as soon as they were safely bound and lashed to the trees. While they were thus speaking to gether the ten braves had proceeded to obey their commands, when suddenly there went forth a whoop, so fierce and horrible, that it fairly chilled the blood in tho veins of our fair heroine, who lay upon a rich mat, covered by a su perb skin, a prisoner, and alone in the dark woods, with no one near her but a ferocious savage, who now and then cast a spiteful glance upon her if she moved, thinking she was trying to make her escsjio. As she heard the savage signal her courage for a moment gavo way, and sho feared, nay, she even expected, every moment to bo led forth to some dreadful doom, but with a firm truBt in her God, which grew stronger as danger increased, she sat up anu listener to tbe fearful screams and noise outside the wigwam. Hearing the tumult grow louder, and knowing his captive to be bound, her Indian guard arose and disappeared through tho open tent door. Even his disagreeable pres ence had been a sort of companionship, and when she found herself alone in that perilous hour of darkness she felt indeed that earthly hope had forsaken hor, and she sank back upon her bed weeping as sho exclaimed: "My Father! oh, my Father! If it be Thy will take mo to Thyself ere I be come a victim to the cruelty of these heartless savages." "But there is ono that is not heart less, and feels for the distress of the poor stricken dove. The Good Spirit has heanl your prayers and sent me to com fort you," whispered the voice of IiOdi, as she knelt beside Sonora and lifted her head and pillowed it upon her breast, while she briefly related tho cause of the excitement. "Thank God! thank God!" exclaimed sue. -jiy uear menus are now once more safe, and I am comparatively happy! But where is my poor Itissey?" "She is still in the wigwam of Lodi, who will keep her safe and happy till she returns with her mistress. Only be bravo and trust Lodi, who will set you at liberty or die in the attempt. Lay down now, and lisp not that you have seen me, or all may be suspected," and placing a finger to her lips, she stooped to the ground, listened a moment and then slipped away as noiselessly as she had entered. Lodi had scarcely been gone five in in utes when Hard Heart aud Norman en tered, bearing torches. Holding one to the pale face of Sonora he exclaimed with exultation: "Ah, my priceless one! you are safe In the hands your future husband at laBt, and without giving him the trouble of suing for your lofty aud ambitious love. Perhaps your haughty pride has fallen a peg or two, and, if so, perhaps you will consent to become my lawful wife yet, which if you do not will not hinder me from becoming your pro tector, though rattier unceremoniously nnd Impolite, as T shall be obliged to have you hasten your preparations be fore the return of that sanctified lover of yours. Hark, girl! I have sworn by heaven and h well, I will not say what, as it might shock your sensi tive and refined cars, and is not exactly becoming in a loving bridegroom," and turning with a sneer, he began talking to Hard Heart "Wretch and coward that you are! thus to taunt me, a helpless girl, whom you could gain possession of in no other way than by theft! I fear not your ma licious threats, for I have a Friend whom I know will never forsake me, but will most surely punish so deperate a villain as you, Norman Burke!" "The white dovo speaks very brave," said Hard Heart, with a grin. "Maybe she would rather be the light of the great ciders wigwam than the bride of one whom she hates so much." Sonora made no reply to this speech, so disgustingly repulsivo to her ears. And even the lips of Norman curled as lie listened to the base proposal, though he thought the wisest plan at present would be to make no comments further. He therefore seated himself and began talking about the escape and the possi bility of their quick return with greater force. "At any rate, they cannot get to the nearest town and back again before three days, and we shall be among the missing. So I shall nbVworry about that." To all this the Indian chief made no reply, maintaining a moody silence, which Norman attributed to the loss of his prisoners, but which In reality was regarding Sonora, for from the very first ho had resolved to possess her him self, and was now devising means to get rid of Norman. At last, hitting upon one that suited his fancy, he jumped to his feet and said : "Let the white chief go to his wig' warn and sleep till day, that he may be refreshed for his long journey, -while Hard Heart seeks the tent of Lodl aud forms plans of torture, should they re turn. Hard Heart fears not how many white chiefs return. His warriors are powerful. To-morrow the chief can claim his dove," and opening tho can vass, he motioned for Norman to fol low. Seeing him enter his wigwam, and placing two Indians to watch him, in stead of going, as he had said, to tho tent of Lodi, Hard Heart directed his steps towards a lonely spot, where were gathered together a dozen of his most warlike and ferocious-looking braves. Sitting down In their midst he began: "Hani Heart is lonely. He would have tie pale dove for his bride, that ho may flee away Into the heart of the for est before the return of her pale broth' era. But be has kept her a captive for another, a white chief, who has come to claim her and pay the ransom; but Hard Heart would give up the gold to havo the pale-faco cheer his wigwam, The pale chiefs have escaped, and there is nothing now for the red man to re venge himself upon. What shall be dono?" "Let tho white chief die!" exclaimed all "Let him be put to death that the bright, fair dove may be our chiefs wife. Let it be before the great moon rises to-morrow night." "My brothers a;e brave men; they would seo their chief happy. It shall be as they say. The pale chief shall die. But how would my brothers of the forest have him put to death? Let them choose for themselves." "Bring him forth and bind him to a stake, surrounded by faggots wet with turpentine; then, when we havo tor tured him enough, set it on fire so that it may burn slowly, that tho white chief may die by degrees. Does this suit tho great chief?" asked one more depraved and ferocious-looking than the rest. "It pleases Hard Heart. So long as he dies, Hani Heart cares not how. Bring him out and bind him, while I tell Lodi, for what pleases us will please the great chief Sanutee'a daughter," and rising, he walked away, as the sav ages began piling sticks around tho same stake which had witnessed tho death of many a poor soul before. As soon as all was ready, aud nothing remained but to touch the match to the combustible mass, four of the stoutest of their number proceeded to tho wig wam where Norman had just fallen into an uneasy slumber. Grasping him rudely by the neck, they jerked him to ills feet, which they had previously bound. Fastening his hands in tho same manner, they carried the greatly terrified and astonished villain to the stake, where they bouud him fast. The grey dawn of morniug had just began to render objects discernible, when Nor man, perceiving the situation of things, at once surmised tho dreadful fate in store for him. His suspicions were at once confirmed, as he re-called to mind the offer and words of Hard Heart Calling out in a deprecating tone for Lodi or some one to come to his rescue aud explain the cause of this treatment, he was answered by the former, who, seeing him led forth, had left Hard Heart sitting in her wigwam, much to the uneasiness of Rissey, who sat crouched in ono corner, scarcely daring to breathe, so much afraid was she of his frightful appearance "By what authority and for what cause am I thu3 bound?" demanded lie, with an oath. "By the authority of Hani Heart for your misdeeds," was the calm reply of Lodl. "Bid him order these bonds to be loosed, that I may claim my own and go. What means this base.trearhprv? Dearly shall you pay for this if I get free.' "Which there Is not much danger of. If your bonds wero not loosed till I get you free, you would remain slandluit mi uraiu rcieascu you," was the rcplv of Lodi, as she cast a withering, scorn ful glance upon his features, which had assumed a hideous expression so dis torted were they with rage. "Ha! Norman Burke, I too know your his tory, nnd well do you deserve tho most ignominious death! I set you free the murderer of Lenanlo's child the de stroyer of homes and happiness? Nev er! never! Die, for such is your doom! As for your cureetl gold, take it! 'Tis the price of blood the heart's blood of that innocent young wife who sleeps in her distant land!" and throwing it at his feet, Lodi exclaimed as she turned to leave: "Die! and may it perish with you, villain and wretch that you are!" Gritting his teeth with rage, Norman writhed beneath the bonds which held him, swearing and calling upon Hard Heart to releaso him, promising gold, gold, gold; but It was of no avail, for the relentless Indian pretended not to hear, though every oath that he tittered could bo distinctly heard at a greater distance. Tho first outblrst of passion, however, soon subsided in a degree, on finding that he was taken no notice of, not even by the savages who had bound him, who had mostly all dispersed to their wigwams to partake of their morning meal. Thinking upon the various and dreadful modes of torture, some of which be had proposed in antic ipation of others suffering beneath, "and the treachery of those whom he had so far trusted, Norman could conclude upon no other means of saving his life than by offeriog to give-up all claim to Sonora This, at any rate, ho deter mined to try, and calling upon Hard Heart to return, was agaiu. beginning to hope, when, "casting his. eyes- towards the east, he beheld a dark: mass, which seemed to be moving forward. Strain ing his eyes, he peered forth with the vain but eager liopo of something turn ing up favorable for his release. Nearer' and nearer it drew, till at length the form of a man was discernible. For a moment his spirit revived, but it was only to leave him more mad dened than before, for, looking again, he distinctly saw an athletic Indian, whom he at once recognized as Many Canoes, and by his side tho foiler of late machinations, the revengeful Catherine. "Surely I dream!" ho exclaimed, as he saw, closely following, not only Clar ence, Harry and Robert, but also a dozen large aud powerful warriors, some of whoso countenances he had seen years before. "Great God! I need hope for no mercy if that woman-fiend heads the baud ! But how did they get hero so soon ? It is at least three days travel to the encampment of Many Canoes where I first saw White Star. Ha! he too seeks for revenge!" Such were his mental ejaculations as our party drew near enough to speak, when, halting a short distance from the stake, Many Canoes uttered tho war-whoop. In an instant every savage was upon his feet. Grasping their tomahawks, they rushed out to meet their foes. Sonora, who had slept soundly since she had received tho comforting words of Lodi, notwithstanding the unwel come intrusion of Norman and Hard Heart, was awakened by tho wild and heart-rending cry, which to civilized cars sounds terrific in the extreme. Ris ing, her first impulse was to run out and ascertain the cause of this new tumult; but, recollecting what Lodi had told her, she sat down, and, resting her head upon her bauds, wept as she offered up n snort but fervent prayer from the loneliness of her heart. Suddenly n light footstep fell upon her listening ear. With a joyful bound shesprang to her feet, as Catherine dc Midcl clasped her in her arms, and before she could speak unloosed the bands with which she was bound, and taking her by the hand, said: "You arc free once more, child. Fear not while I am with you. Come with me. There are friends here who will protect you witli their lives. Mako haste!" and leading her forth, they met Lodi at the door, dragging Rissey by tho hand, who could not be made to be lieve anything else than that they were to be killed in some horrible way. As soon as she perceived her young mis tress, whom she had not seen for three days, she gave one scream and grasped her round the neck, begging her not to leave her, nor let them kill her. Sonora had no opportunity of comforting her, for Catherine, disengaging Rissey from her neck, bade tiiem mako haste, that sho might convey them to a place of safety ere the work of death began Though Sonora had endeavored to her utmost to control her feelings, still her limbs trembled beneath her as she tot tcred rather than walked to tho place where Norman was still confined, and where our friends were standing well surrounded by their own friendly parly. As Catherine approached, leading So nora, followed by Lodi with Rissey, Hard Heart, who stood at tho head of his baud, mado a spring towards the former, yelling with the voice of a mad man". In a moment more Catherine would have been reeking in her own blood, and our heroine In the hands of her cruel adversary, bad not Many Ca noes, who watched every moment, jumped to her assistance, and with one blow from his upraised tomahawk laid the monster at his feet. At tho same moment Clarcuco caught the fainting form of his betrothed, and bearing her to a seat beneatli a largo tree, left her to care of Catherine and Lodi, while poor itissey ciung to tho dress of her pre server, almost wild at tho scene before Her. The skirmish had Indeed common! Their chief, the head warrior of their tribe, had been slain by a chief of an opposite party; and that, too, in dcfu6e and favor of a pale-face. What was now to bo done? The Natchilochi, seemed to be thirsting for blood, and resembled a pack of hungry wolves. jumping and yelling as they nourished their weapons, heedless to the voice of Many Canoes, who was trying to call their attention to his proposition. "Enemies of Many Canoes, behold before your eyes the body of your great chief, slain by the bauds of him who now speaks to you, and who only waits for your acquiescence to his proposal, or to order his followers to tako your scalps, and lay your bodies bcslde'your leader. What say you ? Will you deliver up willingly your two captives, and wo will depart in peace, leaving you this wrctcli to dispose of as you please, or must we gain possession of the objects which brought us hero by force by death to you who are our foes?" Another savago yell ascended, as they exclaimed In a voice: "Death! death! But the captives escape not while a fol lower of Hard Heart remains to avenge his death!" and with a simultaneous rush the contest began. Four of tho most desperate of their number plunged forward tdezing tho two captives and their faithful preservers, When the three young men, witli the dexterity of well skilled fencers, warded off the blows which in a moment more would have laid them prostratc-and'-bleeding. As Harry caught tho uplifted arm of ono assassin, another struck him a blow which felled him to tho ground, but scarce was ho down ere the murderous wretch lay beside him groaning in his deatli agonies, while Clarence and Rob est raised him, seeing him revive, and finding his wound to bo slight, they left him to the care of Lodl nnd Catherine, while they returned to tho scene of bloodshed. Eight of the savages who had deter mined to avenge their chiefs-death al ready lay dead upon the ground, while several more were wounded, when Leraitrcn, who had always been the confident of Hard Heart, took the hand of Many Canoes, saying: "Let the red chief return to his tribe. Ho is wciconio to tho captives; but leave us the white chief, who is no friend to us if ho could revenge himself. Leave us him, and we arc satisfied that you are brave." "It shall be as you wish. Though Many Canoes havo lost two of his brav est men, still he bears not malice; and as lie has power to Like the cptlvcs whether or not, Is more willing to com ply with terms of no more bloodshed. Jle will sec that tho pale-faco is restored to her home while ho leaves yonder demon at your mercy. And may your punishment not bo too mild!" added he in a loud voice, looking towards Norman. "Many Cauocs would see him die ere he leaves, but knowing the halo which the warlike Natchitoches bear their enemies, hesitates not to leave him in their hands." Duringall the slaughter and confusion Norman had still been kept In bondage, scarcely daring to open his mouth, though in his rage could be fairly heard thognashingof those magnificent teeth, which had always been his pride. Wrctcli! thy career has at last been run! Uhou liast filled the measure of thy guilt, and tho time has at last ar rived when thou shalt be the one to suf fer! Many Canoes would havo allowed himself the pleasure of loosening thy scalp wero It not for the last wish of White Star, whose young life was blasted by your accursed presence. But as I am still her avenger, I will leave you in tho hands of those who will show you no pity, no mercy, but will sec you tortured as you would have had this pale chief," laying his hand upon Clar ence, "but who will bear your innocent victims in safety to their home, while you arc left to fall into the pit you so expertly dug for him. Ha! ha! ha! Howfeelcst thou now, hey? Ha! ha! ha! My pcerlcst White Star, you are avenged!" and crossing his large sinewy arms across his broad breast, Many Canoes stood eyeing the doomed man, who was caught in ills own net. 'Mercy! have mercy!" roared the now penitent Norman. "Only cut these bands and let mc free and my whole life shall be devoted to you and your cause." "Ha! ha!" sneered Many Canoes. "My cause is finished, when you are disposed of, villain! The bands will give way sooner thau you care for, I think; so do not beg, coward! The pale-face who stole into happy homes and crushed the trusting hearts which were sheltered there, thought the heart less act but pleasant amusement, never thinking or caring for "tho misery and desolation which followed; but, now when he finds himself a helpless victim, sues for mercy, hey? Ha! ha! ha! Beg for it from the Good Spirit, who only will show you any," and turning without paying any heed to the heart rending petitions and golden offers of tho hapless victim, beckoned to Lodl and Catherine. Obeying, tliey came forwanl, leading Sonora and Rissey, whose radiant countenance displayed fully her inward feelings. TheNatchltoclies In their fanciful cos tumes were grouped together upon one side, eyeing their victim with sidelong glances, as they watched Many Canoes and his friends, whom they now seemed to fear. Sonora was supported by Clarence, with narry, who had recovered from slight bruise on the shoulder, up' ii the other side leaning on the arm of Robert Behind them stood Lodi and Catherine with Rissey, whose face was beaming with smiles, between them thus form lug a picture strikinir in contrast as the happy faces of some betokened the joy of a speedy relca.se from their irksome bondage aud their anticipated return to their happy home; while the distorted countenance of Norman showed plainly mat lie bail ceased to hope, and was at ready suffering .in expectation of the punishment which. he knew heso justly ueserveu. "Clarence, dear Clarence, is there no possible means of saving him from the power of these brutal savages, and from so horrible a death ?" pleaded the low voice of our heroine, as she clung closer to tho arm which supported her, while a death-like stillness reigned around. "No way, I fear, my beloved; for, though I would fain have it otherwise, still, should we seek to liberate him, It would only be the scene of more mur der, and pefliaps endanger your own precious life." "Better, then, that It be so. Will ingly would I die in Ills stead, If by tho prolongation of his lifehe might become a true and exemplary Christian." "Never shall that be, noble, self-sacrl-flclng girl! Wero it In my power I would gladly free him, and give him an opportunity of retrieving his wicked life by doing right in future; but it is utterly impossible for us to do anything under the present circumstances. Wo must therefore be content to leave him in tho hands of the Almighty, hoping that He may pardon his guilty soul." "Come, friends, let us bo moving!" exclaimed the voice of Many Canoes, as he beckoned to Catlierino, who seemed to bo transfixed in a deep study. The party now prepared to depart, all but Catherine and Lodi, who were con versing In low tones, when tho former suddenly exclaimed: "Never! Never will I trust him again out of my sight!" and before any one could prevent the act, so quick was her movement, she made one spring for wanl and buried the dagger, whicii had formerly belonged to Norman, within his heart; then rushing frantically from the scene, sho plunged into tho thick forest and disappeared. At the same instant that Norman ut tered one long and piercing groan, as Ills head dropped and his eyes closed, a peal of thunder seemed to shake tho very heavens, which was followed by a flash of lightning so vivid, that for a moment all held their breath with fear. So quick and so fearful had been tbe deed that all seemed paralyzed. Poor Lodi, who had risked the anger of her whole tribe to save our frieuds, seemed greatly terrified at boholding the awful deed nnd she cried out in most piteous accents: "May the Good Spirit preserve mc! May the Good Spirit preserve me!" as sho kept close to tho side of Many Ca noes, as though she feared her own tribe. Though they suspected her of being im plicated in the sudden turn of affairs, they were too superstitious and awe struck to think of iter just then. Lcmitrcn, throwing down his toma hawk, exclaimed: "The Good Spirit is offended! Let Many Cauocs and the pale-faces depart that we may onco more have peace among us," aud pointing with his fin ger towanls tho east, motioned for them to move on. Though the rain was pour ing down in torenls, and the lightning seemed now nnd then to dazzel them with its Hashes, still they hesitated not to accept the terms of freedom, and gladly did they proceed on their weary though joyful pilgrimage. Eotiora, with a mind filled with conflicting emo tions, as she thought of the miserable end of Norman, was unable to speak, but suffered Clarence to lead her away in silence. Rlssoy, whose joy was now boundless, could not restrain herself, and hugging Lodl, who had accepted the invitation to return with them, she exclaimed: "Oil, Lodi, you am sich a good Ingin! De Lonl brcs3 you! How could I ever be so 'frald of you, but I tell you, it's enough to make auy ono git scart to seo dem Ingins! Ugh! I wonder if Jinks know Ris in dis fancy dress," and tak ing hold of her blanket, she ran skipping along, the very life of the party. To bo continued. "Whex the Dark Com etii. A little girl sat, at twilight, in her sick moth er's room, busily thinking. All day she had been full of fun and noise, and had many times worried ner poor, tired mother. "Ma," said the littlegirl, "what do you suppose makes me get over uiv mischief and becin to act good just about this time every night?" "I do not Know, uear. v.au yuu iuu m why?"

This week we have similar advices from Maltie. The Maclnas Republican gives Us the following interesting particulars: A pleasant and somewhat unusual event took place in the U. S. Court last Tuesday afternoon. On motion of the Hon. James A. Millikcn, Mrs. Clara Hapgood Nash, of Columbia Falls, was formally admitted to tbe Bar as an At-torney-at-Law. During the session of Court In tho forenoon, Mrs. Nash had presented herself before tho Examining Committee, Messrs. Granger, Millikcn and Walker, and had passed a more than commonly creditableexamination. After the opening of theCourt in the af ternoon, Mr. Milliken arose and said: "May It please the Court, I hold in my hand papers showing that Mrs. Clara Hapgood, Nash, of Columbia Falls, lias passed the Committee appointed by the Court to examine Candidates for ad mission to theBarasAttorneys-at-Law, and has paid to tho County Treasurer the duty required by the Senate; and I now move the Court that she be ad mitted to this Bar as an Attorney-at-Law. In making tho motion I am not unaware that is a novel and unusual proceeding. It is the first instance in this county and this State, and, so far as I am aware, the first instance in New England, of the application of a woman to be formally admitted to the Bar as a Practitioner. But knowinc Mrs. Nash to bo a modest nnd refined lady, of fine literary and legal attainments, I feel safe In assuring Your Honor that by a course or Honorable anu iiigii-miuded practice, and by her pleasant and courte ous intercourse with the members of tho profession, she will do her full part to conquer auy prejudices that may now exist against the idea of women being admitted as Attorneys-at-Law." Judge Barrows, after examining tho papers handed to him, said: "I am not aware of anything in the Constitution or Laws of this State prohibiting the ad mission or a woman, possessing tuo nroner Qualifications, to tho practice of tbolaw. I havo no sympathy with that feelingor prejudice which would exclude women irom any or tne occupations ot life for which they may be qualified. The papers put into my hands show tiiat Mrs. Nash has received unanimous approval of the cxaming committee, as possessing tne qualifications requisite for an acceptable Attorney, and that she has paid the legal duty to the Coun ty Treasurer, nuu i direct mat sue ue admitted."

This is Impossible. A bad breath never comes from the stomach. Nothing ever comes upward except in vomiting or eructions of wind. There are three sources of bad breath. the mouth, nose nnd lungs; of twenty cases of bad breath, I estimate that fifteen cqme from tho mouth, one from the nose, and four from the lungs'. As generally, when the mouth ia at fault the lungs contribute something to the odor, the above definite classification is probably too precise; but I think It u close approximation to the truth. The Mouth. 1 need hardly argue that rotten teeth and deceased gums may prodnce bad breath. I have, but rarely iuei u uuo iu which uie leeui weiu white aud tho gums healthy. In every case of bad breath the mouth is to be suspected and examined. In a majority of cases, you smell nothing while tho patient keeps Ids mouth shut, nnd breathes through his nose, but as rooii as he begins to speak, then it comes.' mat man must go at onco to the den tist. He is the doctor for tho mouth. He will remove every cause of otfimsc from that cavity. The Kosc l'ho various forms of catarrh are more or less productive of uuu miors. uzena, wiiicii is tuo worst form of catarrh. nroiliirpj a noonlinr nml sickening odor. ino euro or this malady is somewhat difficult, but the odor arising from itcan be mitigated by a thorough cleansing of the nose with water, or scan and water. several times a day. But a euro should be sought, and let it not be sought at the hands of one of the advertising catarrh quacks. Tftc Lungs. A man eats and drinks, say five pounds a day. Now, unless he is gaining weight, ho must part with live pounds. If we place on the scales all that comes from his bowels and bladder, we shall find it weighs, say one pound and a half. Three pounds and a half have left the body iu somo other way and other ways. Hie other ways arc the skin nnd lungs. By far the larger part should escape tiirougii tne sum. Sometimes the millions of holes in the skin, through which this worn out, dletc matter should escape, become in part closed, lor laciv oi naming anu prespiraiion; ami tne eiiete matter cannot escape lreeiy in that way. But the poisonous stutr must bo got rid of in some way. Now the lungs como in to supplement tho skin. To a certain extent, tho lungs and skin are ever ready to substitute for eacii otiicr. If the lungs for any reason leave a small part of duty undone, the skin at once steps in to assist. If the skin fails to accomplish its whole task of the work of execretion, the lungs are ever ready to assist in working of the impureties. But, when ever the lungs are obliged to perform this extra service, they cannot do it as well as tho skin. They are obliged to work off impurities which do not belong to their department, and so they take on a morbid condition, and the cxecretions are so changed in character as to become otrensive. Three persons out of every four whose bad breath comes from their lungs, can cure themselves, or greatly mitigato the nuisance, by washing themselves all over with strong soap and water, and following this by the vigorous use of rough towels everyday fora month, and exercising at least once a day, till there is free perspiration. Dio Lewis. A Slav in tiik Face. The effective force which women are bringing to the present political canvass compels ex pression from new frieuds and old foes, which, to say the least, is very in structive and encouraging. The last wonl Is from the Springfiold Jlcmtblican, called out by the crowded y ii- ' it l . ..1.1 it. i :..i... liepuuncuii meeting iiuiti in nui uiy Mrs. Livcrmore, Mrs. Campbell, aud Mrs. Harper this week. Jt "protests against tue louy oi at taching the woman's cause, with all its high and fine Issues, to a corrupt, materialistic, doomed political organi zation like tho Grant party." It claims that, "to the liberal party, belongs tho future, with all its hopes aud reformations," aud warns us that it is not wise to "slap this new party in the face." Tills is decidedly cool, after Cin cinnati, Baltimore and the Liberal State Conventions, every oneof which rejected or ignored the claim of woman, whether made by herself iu person or by her friends. It is too late now to claim any future for tho so-called Liberal party. It sought to save its life, by thrusting aside with scorn this greatest vital question of the hour, and so lost it. The Republican party on tho other hand, with its great work for the freed men nearly finished, added long life, and a future for all time, grandly linking its fate with the enfranchisement of fifteen millions of women who know their friends, and who will not go back on them. Already, In eight States, the Re publican party has had tho help of women, in crowded political meetings, where tho gathered thousands needed no police, where order and quiet reigned, allowing that the "good time" has al ready begun to come, when politics shall be decent for men because it is shared by men. The true wisdom now is, for tho friends of women, who were carpet bagged at Cincinnati, to hasten to the Republican party, make its cause their own, aud so find a political life that can live, because it shares an immortal principle. The argument to which the Golden Age paid so much attention a year or two ago, namely, the right which the existing national constitution, by its fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, strictly interpreted, gives to women (as to other citizen) to exercise tho elective franchise, found more than one practical illustration in the recent Presidential election. AVe havo already mentioned that Mrs. Huntington registered in Con necticut. Mis3 Susan B. Anthony and a number of her lady friends did tho same in Rochester, N. Y. Moreover, Mrs. Minor, wife of a well known law yer of St. Louis, Mo., is trying to secure her right of suffrage by appealing to the courts, basing her claim on tno same ground. Wo need not here re-stato an argument with which the . earlier reader! of this journtd JJSg made familiar. We shall await witn interest tho result of Mrs. Minor's ap peal to the law. Tdlon. X 7
