A History or Woman Suffrage.
Miss Susan B. Anthony was in
-New York recently looking ex
ceedingly well, though somewhat
fatigued from the long winter of
hard work which she has bestowed
upon the history of woman suff
rage in this country, which she
and Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton,
with the assistance of Mrs. Matilda
Joslyn Gage, are busy in compil
ing. There are no other women in
this country who could do this
work so well, who have stood from
first to last so persistently and
fearlessly in the breach, ns these;
and no others to whom the honor
in New York state .so truly be
longs of having rid women of their
most flagrant legal disabilities in
the ownership of property and
children. Whatever individual
opinion may be in regard to the
right to vote, every one must ad
mit the courage, the steadfastness,
the unflinching heroism with which
they have lived down all attacks,
and still kept to their self-imposed
work. The two volumes will be
illustrated with steel engravings,
two of which are excellent port
raits of Misti Anthony and Mrs.
Ernestine L. Hose, a Polish lady,
well remembeied in the active
work for women of twenty to
twenty-five years ago, but lately
of England. The dedication is to
Che prominent women workers in
the cauce, now deceased.
The state department is "hurry-
iug up" at a snails pace in consid
eration of the question of Mormon
. immigration with a view to check
and diminish the influx of deluded
female converts.
Mr. "Whitelaw Keid already
owned a very fine house, double
the usual width, with a magnifi
cent music room, on the corner of
Thirty-sixth street and Lexington
avenue; but this will probably be
exchanged shortly for a residence
farther up town and upon one of
the more fashionable thorough
fares. His present neighborhood
is eminently respectable, but not
fashionable. At the opposite cor
ner from him resides Secretary
McCullough; straight through the
block, on Park avenue. J)r. J. G.
Holland and Mr. "Win. Alien But
ler, the author of Miss Flora Mc
Flimseys pitiful appeal; and in
near proximity theScribners, May
or Grace and Mr. John Kelly.
Whenever Kate Claxton is iien
tioned immediately comes to the
mind remembrances of the terrible
holocaust at the Brooklyn theater
in December, 1S70, and the burn
ing of the Southern hotel, St.
Louis, later. On the 17th ult.,
Miss Claxton arrived in Denver
and stopped at the Grand Central
hotel. Immediately fears of the
destruction of the house by fire
were present in all minds, and
extra precautions were taken
against it. Despite these precau
tions, however, a fire did occur in
the hotel a few hours after Miss
Claxtons- arrival. It broke out in
a room adjoining the one assigned
to Miss Claxton, filling the entire
house with a volume of smoke and
creating extraordinary excitement.
The fire brigade of the hotel were
quickly on the spot, and extin
guished the incipient conflagration
before any great damage had been
done, and the panic was allayed.
People "generally, and emi
grants in particuiar, who were
recently reported to be preparing
to join the proposed American col
ony in the Mexican state of Sono
ra, will be interested in hearing
that the land grant on which they
propose to settle is occupied by In
dians of powerful physical build,
brave and warlike temper, and
with resolute disposition to hold
their domain bv force of arms if
necessary, against all comers. The
Mexican government in granting
fifty leagues of fruitful territory to
two residents of California, Sam
uel Brannan and Manuel Castro,
partly in liquidation of a claim and
partly for the purpose of founding
a colony, did not grant possession
of the territory, 'as well; for the
very good reason that it nevei had
it and is not likely to get it for
some time to come.
:onora is a
beautiful, rich and fertile territory,
but whoever proposes to settle it
must fight for existence, and is
pretty sure to.have his hands full.
A Dive from the Clifc
John Muir, the naturalist of the
Sierra, writing of tho vild sheep
of the Sierra and of their well
authenticated habit of diving from
precipices and alighting on their
horns, relates the following anec
dote in Scribner for May:
At the base of sheep rock, one
of the winter strongholds of the
Shasta flocks, there lives a stock-
raiser who has the advantage of
observing the movements of wild
sheep every winter; and, in the
course of a conversation with "him
on the subject of their diving
habits, he pointed to the front of a
lava headland about a hundred
and fifty feet high, which is only
eight or ten degrees out of the
perpendicular. "There," said he,
"I followed a band of them fellows
to the back of that rock yonder,
and expected to capture them all,
for I thought I had a dead thing
on them. 1 got behind them on a
narrow bench that runs along the
face of the wall near the top, and
comes to an end where they
couldn't get away without falling
and being killed; but they jumped
off, and landed all right, as if that
were the regular thing with them."
"What!" said I, "jumped a hun
dred and fiftv feet! Did you see
them do it?" "No," he replied,
"I didn't see them going down, for
I was behind them; but I saw
them go off over the brink, and
then I went below and found their
tracks where they struck on the
loose debris at the bottom. They
sailed right off, and landed on their
feet right side up. That's the kind
of animal they is beats anything
else that goes on four legs."
