Julio Dent Grant U •pending the declining year! of her life. She K m sufficient.mesne to provide for herself munificently end enable her to entertain her friends and often large companies of the publto, as becomes the wife of the foremost Captain of the age. Every Thursday is set apart for the re­ ception o f those who wish to call upon her. and it is said that certain persons, among whom Is General Sherman, visit her every week when she is in the city. Her life is varied, somewhat by occasion-, el visits to heif children .who are beyond sea—Mr*. Ssrtorls .living In England and Colonel Fred Grant in Vienna, a Minister to Austria—and her sou Ulysses, who lives on a farmabout forty miles out o f Now York. Mrs. GtfSnt i < modest and somewhat shy Inher nature And no one would suspeot from associa­ tion With her that she was for eight years the ‘ ‘first lady in the land;!? that later, in company with General Grant, she visited every great •city .in the Uploni and received attentions such as a Queen might envy; and then made ihe journey around the globe, and was.the guest of all the courts of Europe and Asia,..". Some time after the death-of General Grant a clergyman, himself an old sol dier, was present at a large reception of members o f the Grand Army of the Re­ public given by Mrs. Grant, and formed her acquaintance. Matters relating to the Grand Army called Wm. to. visit her several times afterward, until he be­ came sufficiently acquainted for her to lay aside, somewhat, her natural re­ serve and speak more freely of herself and her illustrious husband than she otherwise would. The clegyman-relsted the following incident of ono of bis vis- its: “On the last Occasion that I visited her house I ventured to speak o f the tender regard with which the old sol­ diers remembered Jier husband, when sbo told of her earnest love for themem­ bers of the Grand Army and the lifelong affection with which the Genoral regard­ ed hiS old comrades. She proceeded to speak of the great friendsbipof the peo­ ple of toe South for him, saying that just before the’meeting o f the National Republican convention, during General Grant’s .second term as President, the General used to’ bring her a largo num­ ber o f letters dally from prominent men in the South, pleading' with him to al­ low Ills name to go before the conven­ tion for a third term. This led her to relate the following remarkablo circum­ stance which, so far as 1 know, has not before boon mado public. It la so inter­ esting that ! think it ought to bo known by the’ whole nation. 'Her story was as follows: i “ ’Myearly homewas Inthe South, in St LoUiS,which was a small olty at tho time, it having attained to its position as.one of the. groat cities of the Union in later yoars.* New Orleans was tho groat com­ mercialmetropolisot tho South, andwith tho young people.of my acquaintance a visit to NewOrleans was the groat event of a lifetime.

Vernal* Attaches in the Field* and Do*. pitatHDaringtheCIvUWar. Although It is Impossible, to discover just powmany womengave their services in the- fields and hospitals during the civil war, Captain Ainsworth, who is at the bead of the pension division of the War Department, .has recently prepared A table giving an ..idea of the vast num­ ber who did what they could for their country byhnrstng and caring for those who took active part in the'struggle. The records are incomplete, but as far as can be ascertained there were probably 10,000 women,-with*and without regulat authority and pay, who performed the duties wherever they happened to be. Of these, 776 were hired"by contract by tbq Wag Department; 887 went by tho appointment ot Miss Dlxj 848 were Sis­ ters ot Charity; 81 were provided by the Sanitary Commission, and 00 by tho or­ der of the Surgeon General. In addi­ tion to those who went as nurses, there were matrons, cooks, laundreMes, etc., making, it > la thought, no fewer than 4Q,000 women in all, three-fourtha of whom were white and from the Nerth. There are now on the /pension rolls the names of 800 women who acted as nurses, and these were placed jthero by a epeoial act, of Congress;-but as yet nothing has been done for most of these noble women, many of whom are old, feeble, and nearly forgotten. Representative Belknap, of Michigan, an ex-qoldier, reported, a bill to tbe United StatesHouseof Representatives, placing on the pension list at 813 a month “all women employed by the Surgical" Department of the United States Service as army nurses, or otherwise officially recog­ nized as such during the War of the Rebellion, add who rendered service in hospitals, in the camp, or on the bat­ tle-field for a period of six mpnths or more, and who were honorably relievod therefrom, and who, from the results of such service or tbe infirmities of ad­ vancing wge*. are unable to earn their own support.”—Woman’s Journal. . A CHINESE VETERAN. The Only Mongolian Who Shoulderedca Musket and Fought In the War. E. D. Cotaota visited Libby Prison War Museumand inspected the ourious relics of- tho war. Mr. Cohota Is Ana- tiv-born Chinaman. He has lived in this country nearly forty years, having left the land of his birth when but six yearsold. Long before the Chines* exclusion law wm dreamt of he had proved his fitness for the duties of Amerloan citi­ zenship by taking up arms In defense of his adopted country andmarching to the front.

FREE AND EQUAL. Address by-A. k Meson at s Lswn Fete, Reid In Indianapolis, Wo are met to celobrnto the glory of equality. From of old. Englishmen de­ clared that all men ought to bo froo, hut it was a Frenchman who first added tho words“ and equaL" . There is Ih.theao days a movement in society, world-wide, which sets towards human equality. Commencing in the last century, gathering power in each generation, it has increased until It forms the most significant-fact of the age. It demands tho abolition of all conventional and artificial Inequalities in the relations of life. Tho flood is out, and beyond tho power of man to atop. It carries on its bosom.a thousand reform* With us* It hss abolished kings and a hereditary nobility. It has equalized taxation. At doath, It divides tho prop­ erty equally among tho children. In fashion, it has done Away with liveries, and dresses master and servant ‘in . pre­ cisely tho same oostume. It has chang­ ed the relations of parent and i child, of husband and wife. Of teacher and pupil, of employer and employe; has brought them nearer together, mado them' moy> nearly equal. It has placed tho pew on a level with the pulpit; has achieved the extension -of suffrage; hss caused tho State to provide equal education for Ms children, and equal charities for its unfortunate. Of this movomCnt, Burns is tho poet, Dickens tbe novelist, Millet tho artist and John Stuart Mill the philosopher. The woman’ s suffrage movement is, therefore, only a part of this great modern revolution, still unfinished, hav­ ing for its object human equality. When Rousseau’s splendid hut diseased genius filmed across Europe, by its light men saw that the “ perpetual* natural, unceasing and indefeasible sov­ ereign” w m the people. Yet tho new form of government; both in America and in France, were to some extent re­ cast in the'old mold of barbarism. Tbe mounting wave could roll no liighor. As in the most primitive stsgos of so­ ciety, the political unit was made the family* and not the individual, Tbe subjection of woman comes down to us from the earliest times. It strikes its roots into that ancient law which gave Hta father despotic power over bis childrm Even after marriage, a daughter remained her father's slave. Her husband was without authority. With the advance of Roman law the paternal powqr declined* until woman was in danger of becoming free, To the early Christian Church belongs the^re- sponslbllity of having revived* in tho husband, tho ancient professorship of Abe father. Trace back these notions far enough, and you will find their source in caves and hollow logs, the homoS’of our naked forefathers. There, with foreheads an Inch high and teeth an inch long, club in hand, they foundod the empire of force, the despotismof ihe family. The fireside wm tho first place forth* spirit of monarchy to enter, and la the last place for the spirit of democ­ racy to penetrate. The progress of civilization is a war­ fare, a war of light with darkness, of truth with falsehood, of the illuminated Intellect and tho rectified heart with the barbarism of Ig'nOrance and the ani- tosllsm of the sAvage* Let na, as far m in na lies, help to carry forward civilisa­ tion. Let ns welcome new ideas, and every reform which seeks to destroy Artificial inequalities among mankind. "I.:,!.1". . Let ns no longer deprive Woman *4 the bellot Let a* epem to her every path In life, so that she msy freely obooM that for wbieli her nature best fits he*/ 1 ■ On the sunburnt plains of the West, this new Movement is. now carried on by braver pioneers then those who first penetrated Its unpeopled solitudes. Let us believe that the pioneers ot this re­ form, no less"than they who pressed tbe plains In covered wagons end built their cabins by the river-side, ere engaged in a warfare with savage'barbarlsm. To thoso new pioneers let na send to-night this message of hope, “ Be of good cheer, you will overcome,the world.” ONE FOOT TIED UP. Whvthe StateNeedstheCo-Op*rationand Balpof ItsWoman. In her address et Toronto, on “ Woman and the State,” Miss Mary F. Eastman said: “ Thqre are two reasons why women should hold a close relation to the State: 1. Yon can have no State worthy of the name that is not representative of the .people, and women are people. 8. The State needs women, and they need the protection of the State. If we are too good to vote, why don’t you pat themin- isters out?. If we are too much occupied with important cares, why don't yon put the doctors out? They might be want­ ed at any moment- Miss Esstnisn com­ pared the slow progress of society, with the energies of half its members repressed, to the halting gait of a man who should try to walk on one foot with the other tied up. When it is suggested to him that he might get along much faster if he were to put the other foot down, suppose he should answer “Oh, no! . It is a dear foot; I want one foot to pet; it is so nice to have one foot that is kept ont of the dust!” So he hops along, moving in a circle Instead of straight, every muscle strained, his whole body warped out of symmetry; and the foot that is tied up and potted is the worse for it,' os well as tho foot that has to do double work. Some women like to’ bo wholly relieved from responsibility. Miss Eastman said ■he had once been a member of a village improvement society. They called to seo a certain woman, told her that they were going to plant trees along the square in front of her house, and asked her if there was any particular kind of tree she preferred She drow down her face, looking utterly forlorn, and an- swored, in a rogrotful voice; “When he was alive, I didn’t have to know one tree from another.” Illglter Education In’ Enpopo. Miss M. Cary Thomas, Ph. D., Dean of Bryn Mawr College for women, has recontly roturned from A summer tour of tho principal educational cities of Europe, whore she has been- inspecting tho mothoda of imparting instruction, especially with roforonce to the higher education of womon. She says sho was disappointed in finding tho work in En­ glish done at Oxford much loss ad­ vanced than sho had'expected. Tho work done In the women's collegos at Oxford is only open to womon, and not advanced in its character. Whilo at Oxford the medical dogreo was thrown open to women. In parts of Switzer­ land colleges are upon to all, nnd tbe consequence is that, all women who wish to study abroad go to Switzerland, ex­ cept those who go to Loipsic. At tho Univorsity of Lolpsio there are fifteen women, of whom four are Americans. In Denmark and Sweden the colleges are open to women, no distinction being mado in the Sexes. WOMEN AND THEIR WORK. T he working woman’ s guild of Phila­ delphia has a membership of 1,000, M any W . W hitney , who succeeded Maria Mitchell as professor of MtronOmy at Vassar Collogo, advocates tbe study of Science for girls, with the express ob­ ject ot disciplining their emotional na­ tures. Mn. F nanjc D ella . T okde , of Balti­ more, hss invonted an instrument which he calls tho eophono, by which he claims that all sounds can be heard and located pn the darkest night anA In the thickest weather. A woman ’ s association in Berlin is twenty-four yoars old and has 1,108 members. Its income last year was 84.500. There wore 1,041 women and girls in its schools for business, draw­ ing; manual training, etc. It has a restaurant which averaged 103 noon customers during the year. S ome philanthropic women have es­ tablished. a “ Children’s Happy Evening Association” in thq East End of Lon­ don, They have secured for two hours at evening the use of unoccupied school- housos, where they gather the poor lit­ tle children from the wretched laby­ rinths of the city and teach them (for many of them do not know) how to play the simple games which are supposed to be familiar to children tho>warld over,. O ne of the graduates ot the Westmin­ ister Cooking School, an Irish lady, Mrs. Jeannette Miller, a woman of good fam­ ily and social position, has adopted the profession ot cookery, and goes out to private houses to prepare company breakfasts, luncheons and dinners. Mrs, Miller believes that many young Indies will follow her example, M the cook's is ono of the best paid and least crowded of profeMions, and she is sure that in five years a thoroughly trained And mentally cultivated cook, who* however, tauat be oontent to serve a long apprenticeship, will no more en­ danger her social place by her choice of a vocation that a trained nurse like Sis­ ter Dors or Miss Margaret Lonsdals to­ day endangers hers* BmnT.Tii Photographer XENIA, OHIQ, Enlarging old pictures a specialtjr.
