denomination Out churches are always open and we encourage church marriages In fact there is no for If in addition to ths performance of ceremony the organist and bellringer are wanted of course that is a different question It may be said parenthetically that generally expect for their services Oa the same subject a U P pastor said Wo I never known of a being made by trustees for the of in which a marriage took place I cant I approve of church marriage however I believe in marriage ceremonies being performed in the home as well as death and baptismal services should have as many associations as can be given them and not be as so often they are in this country mere dor If J M B marries a Hebrew she will probably have a less expensive wedding in the matter of church fees than if she were a modest Protestant id aim ply because very few wedding ceremonies are performed in the The rabbi of one of the syna gogues furnished this information One fees for the rabbi are f 10 for the sexton and the organist to but there are very few weddings in the syna gogue Again if J M Ea final choice ia a Roman Catholic she may very likely sextons fea In the Catholic marriage is a sacrament There is BO charge but an offering and when a grand service is desired it is usual tj pay the organist and the sexlon As for the offering it varies from to or the largest often coming from the people from whom the smallest is expected and of vice versa But if J M E should move ont of town and marry elsewhere these figures will be valuable to her Oa the Pacific the fees to a Unitarian clergyman ran from to In New York while in the interior of Illinois they are from to A question which J M E omitted to ask for tbe reason perhaps that as the expense will fall in any event on her par ents it is jast as

thinks he hears a lire engine coming or makes you by you what you would do if the horse a should run away It iant good form for a man who drives hearse to look around when he once gets headed for tha

of tha American Review contained B remarkably bitter on Suffrage by the well known novelist The October number of the Review has a very plain though paper on tae same sub ject by Mrs Mary A Livermore in which she answers and criticises her writ ings Of these Mrs says It cannot be denied that books shoff cleverness She has a keen sense of and is richly endowed with ideal imagination Har general knowledge is extensive and varied and she his a wide outlook upon nature Bat her stories are aad unnatural in detail exaggerated in valgar ia their worship of lim wealth and immoral in tendency Ear heroines are bedizen ed creatures Her terous heroes whom she presents as types of the aristocracy of the day are of the dazzling and sort Like Disraeli she gives na a surfeit of splendor and fatigues us with But the worst feature of her novels is their coarseness Her dainty poppets have an inordinate appetite for the grossest forms of sensuality Her men rejoice in many mistresses They most have ripe scarlet mouths to kiss in lawless sovereignty be cause they are men They worship love wealth and eni They are ell god like and yet are debauchees Her women are worse than her men if possible If married they have macy lovers and are gonerally and deceive aU Doubtless her vaulting ambition to portray these cies of crime aad suggests thb idea that sha may really be aa igno rant of the world of men as she must be of that of letters When attempts the role of the essayist aha betrays according to Mre Livermore Ihe same literary tics nnd moral that have made her books and her name aa offense Her article against woman ia merely a directed mainly against government and woman But we easily forgive her attack on this reform the alphabet of which she fails to com prehend from sheer gratitude that the whim did not seize ha to advocate it Not believing in tha the mob uneducated and as hag DO in govern ment by the people and so levels her first blow at democratic institutions She gards the whole system of electoral power all over the world and condemns a republic because it does not carry onfc the doctrine of the supremacy of the fit test What form of government does Imperfection inheres in everything human governments which begin in usurpation are perpetuated by the laws of hereditary descent and supported by small aristocracies and standing armies have very rarely been administered by those fit to rule It is a hazardous business to change the ruling king or emperor even when he ia detested by his subjects But in a government of the people which maintains its permanence by constitu tional provisions the rulers may be chang ed at the will of the majority whenever they are dissatisfied Mrs Livermore observes it was neces sary that Onida should first dispose of re publican government and its electoral system for sees very clearly the ab surdity of withholding the from woman if manhood suffrage ia universal Even concedes this rabid as she is at prospect of woman suffrage Mrs Livermore next devotes a few bora facts to the fallacy that behind every ballot stands a ballet and than proceeds to eay that dropping the role of logician in which she is not a conspicuous Ouida grows pro and most dismal vaticina tions concerning woman suffrage She tells us that the net result of tha entrance of the woman into the political arena will not be for the happiness of humanity Ir female suffrage becomes law the will scarcely bo other than the emasculation and tha confusion of the whole world of politico aa a is answered thus In the Doited woman suffrage movement has a most enviable statna and morally In 1869 the Territory of Wyoming gave fall suff rage to woman At tne end of ten yeara Hon J W Kingman a graduate of Har vard College and for four years a Jadge of the Supreme Court of that Territory wrote that the general influence of suffrage haa been to elevate the tone of society and to secure the election of bat ter men to office After seventeen years experience tha of Wyoming are more iu of woman suffrage than ever They declare that the laws were never respected nor enforced nor crime punished nor property and lire protected aa

Paid The Forum for October contains a rath er shallow discussion of the old familiar question whether women are discriminat ed against in the matter of The affirmative is taken by Lillie Devereux Blake and the negative by Prof Denslow whone argument is quite the shallower of the two In fact it is at times contemptible If there is any discrimination it id of practiced by men for they do most of the hiring and wage paying If at oar rent rates women are discriminated against then it must be true that at oar rent rates their work is cheaper than meus all things considered And if this ba true then nobody is more interested ia know ing it than the men who have work to do and are looking around for the cheapest hands to do it Now men are guilty of a great many and a great many foolish fh in era bot it cannot be charged that they pay high prices or high wages whoa they can fiad prices or workers ali the way to Europe for laborers aud they went to as the law allowed it tire alwa s looking out for cheap Labor Indeed this is charged against them as ouo of their faults and some have bean to the charge it is a fault But often they do it to save from bankruptcy They may be female help and they umy dread to reBOrt to it but hardly to of making daily overdrafts at their banks in order to avoid it Tbe man who discriminates against labor that is really cheap discriminates against him self In their ignorance human beings do often discriminate against themselves but not when they know il That is not iu matters of business They can not afford it If thoy do they will be beaten by the competition of the man who dis criminates in favor of himself They eagerly adopt improvement in machinery or methods of work will save the expense of labor If Mcs Blake 13 right the employment of women wonld immensely save expense for labor And that method of saving expense would be at once Tbe disagreeable feature would be overlooked It can hardly be that men are ignorant of the advantage of employing women They have been tried ia all kinds of work In some they have been retained And where they have been retained they are paid leas than men in some and in others quite as much In either case they are retained because on the whole their work ia as cheaper than that of the ine 11 who stand ready to replace them If they are not retained it ia the man who wants the job will do the work cheaper quality considered There Je very little sentiment in the matter foe the reason that it wouldnt pay to in dulge in it That the work women do is as hard on them aa mans work is on him is quite true It is more than More women than men shorten their lives by work They are entitled to just aa much credit for what they do They feel as tired at night They work until their bones ache and their delicate nerves are all unstrung and life is a barden Their faithfulness and deter are far superior t3 mans They have been far lees aided ma chinery A few machines have been in vented to help thera and do them but did you evec that while mans machinery ia run by steam wind or horse power womans machinery is still run by power Her knitting spinning and weaving are now done by steam away from home But their place at home IB partly occupied by additional house making and mending Still of course women are not so hard worked as they once were on the average in civilized countries Sams women spend time in idleness while their work themselves to death But after all these are the rare asd are more than matched by the men whose work is easier than their wives We raay consider it a misfortune that industrial capacities of tbe two sexes are not equal Bat so is it unfortunate that both are not still more capable than either now is It is a pity every man and woman isnt a giant in strength of mind aad body But realizing a misfortune and remedying it are two quite different things It will hardly help matters for one sex to be blaming lue other for all its Is ia too much like Adam laying atl the

related by the New York World Miss Bancroft a grand daughter of the old historian is a very clever aad charming woman who is well known in Washington society She has never met the Presidents wife but some female newspaper from the capital to represent them as inti mate friends after the ingenious fashion of repeating all without taking pains to ascertain their truth which BO endears tbe Washington correspondents to dwellers in the capital In consequence of this report several perse ns who were not certain as to Mias Bancrofts sent notes and letters to tbe White House for her to Mrs Clevelands care Several of them were forwarded and with one of them the Presidents wife sent a few words to say that she had learned how tais mis take had originated and waa only that it was a miatake and hoped that though the correspondent had made an error it would prove a prophesy which was a very pretty and graceful thing for the young Presidentess to say Miss Ban croft was pleased and when they both
