rights bob yarkis one of the'eleverest writers of the artemua ward bill arp and josh billings school has been to the woman's rights demon stration and in the metropolitan portfolio of this week thus relates his experience editor portfolio : tmtfgs are movin the age into which we are livm is goin ahead tho injineers are crowdin bn feteam and hurryn fdrwyid with much rapidncss at a mod'rate calkulashin i should say the whole darned eoncern'll bust op in about fen years if not at a more earty period my respect for the femail sex is much my wife belongs to that bex aud likewise her mother my wife's mother is a sing'lar woman it is her natur to make things rough es pecially her son-in-la*w whose con stant prayer ie that he may soon have the melankoly satisfacshun of paying her funeral expenses when my wife's mother dies i will put about two thousand pounds of tonib stone onto her so's she can't come back no more i'm blest if she aint the darndest woman for encourgin what our parson calls domestic in felisity that 1 ever seed but it was not to write about this aged female that i took up my pen i had a higher and more grander ob ject which ia ftuthin like this for s6me several noomerous weeks my wife has been actin sofnehow as if suthin was onto her mind and it t was troriblin her some times her slumbers 4bn't agree with her and she wakes up and talks about poles feelin interested in her condition i asked her one night what was allin of her,*and she said it was the rongs of her sex right em said i we mean to said she which ?" said i our sisterhood said my wife after fixing up the tea things next night my wife put on her best shawl and went out i went with her carrying an umbreller we walked some ten minutes and then went into a house which stood on to a plot of ground we was ushered into a room where several femails were sit tin one of the femails looked hard at me and asked me if i had any sympathy into my bosom my wife raised her expressive eyes and i suk kumed another fenlall then said that the sisterhood would proceed to business which is what v i in kwired we meet said this fe mail to consider the wrongs of our sex and to redress em go ahead ma'am said i and don't be bash ful because i'm here the femail which was speakin proceeded to state the question the question embraced a recital of wrongs from the days of adam down to those of old john brown after which bob goes on to say : theft the sisters had some tea and by'n by they got back to the question of wrongs and the way to right em a venerable woman with a sharp nose and a voice of similar pecooliarity laid her hands onto the table and lookin severe at me 6aid , things must be redressed , yes ma'am said i,"some things ; need re-dressiu very much there for instants is lovely femails on the stage some of em aint dressed enough to keep em warm i blush ed ma'am and felt sorry for about fiflyof em the night i went to see the black crook and"—my remarks was interrupted by a female howl which come from the corner into which my wife was sittin and pro miskusly all the females went into the howling business i put on a stern and virtuous ex pression and said i had visited the sink of perdishun in the interest of an outraged community my ob ject i said was to see for myself how much depth of depravity was sound ed onto the modern stage so's i could warn the public against the demoralizin inflooance of the statoo dramer i continued to remark that i had composed a lectur onto . the subject which i wood yead for the benefit of the sisters if it was pleasing to em the genrous propo v sishun was rejected with a lively scorn and the old woman who start ed the subjeck&aid if that coars and ugly man wood keep quiet she wood % read some resolooshuns , the resolooshuriß which this femail red were to the effek which follow to wit that is to say viz whereas the brutes of croashuns which are false and impiously called the lords have kept their'heel onto the necks of woman since they as soomed to be their masters and op pressed her crooelly and with no just cause and wheras we are now livin into the era of progress when dnlitenment is drivin the clouds of barbarism and oppreshun into theoshun of the hidy us past and it is behoova woman to assert her right to regulate her af fairs in her own way therefore be it resolved that the onrestricted femail rights associashun demands the same privilegis for its femail sex including all classes and condishuns which are now enjoyed by the ty rants and oppressors of the mothers wives and dawters of the united staits of ameriky reselved that the o.f.r a ft uni ted by bonds of sympathy which the tyrants aint strong enuf to sever and and that we the members which are \ thereof swear allegianco to the max im that wh&t can be cured must not be endoored resolved that the femail sex th.ro out the united staits of ameriky aforesaid he rekwested by the sec retary ess of the o f r a to so on no more buttons nuss no more chil dren and allow no more kissin what sumever until their right to vote and sit on jurees and be judges arid professurs and sich liko be recogi.iz ed by the tyrant and oppressur which is aforemenshuried j resolved that we hang our ban ners petticoats etseteree onto the outer wall and inscribe em with these words the needle to the pole 1 ballots and downuts one and onseparabil now and forever ! agi tate ! agitate i agitate 1 when the anshent sister which red thtse resolooshuns sot down mrs yarkis looked malishds at her husband and said she guessed some foax wood find out prette soon that some foax wasn't agoin to be trampl ed on always undooranse sho re marked ceased to be a virtue when foax which has rights natural borned into em are trodden onto like slaves which natur never destined em for to be a sister with greeli specktaclos then enkwlred how much i was wil lin to give to help the good work on to which the onrestricted femail rights assoceashun had entered ma'am/'said 1 aa to the stamps it aint handy considertn how the treasury has called in most of the five centers but if advice is agreea ble i can give you some that is soo perior and which will do you good let me remark in the first pldcoj that i don't think no prirson ever got out of pecoonirry difiikulties by marryiri you which is unfornit see ing thai rba^es don't bloom no longer onto your femail cheeks while i was proceedin into this strain of remark bilin water fell onto me and i concluded my ohservashuns wasn't appresheatdd x looked a pitying look at the femails and bow in to cm with much haute and re spectfulness departed from the mee tin room my wife came home boon after a madder bat not a wiser wo man bob varkis color in dress is one of the most important matters to be consulted a good figure and good taste in se lecting materials may be whrfly spoiled by inappropriate or ill har monised colors remember that white increases the apparent size of the wearer while black diminishes itj remember also that stripes add to hight while cross bars lessen it large checks are in bad taste unless a person's figure is so bad that it is sought to be concealed never wear a dress of many colors and when there is more than one see that they are what is called complementary green and red are complementary they harmonize well j s6 do yellow and purple orange and blue blue and green are inadmissible together marks of a g£n tl"ema^.—no man is a gentleman who without provoca tion would treat with incivility the humblest of his species it is a vul garity for which no accomplishments of dress or address can ever atone show me the man who desires to make every one nappy around him andwhose greatest solicitude is never to give justice of offense to any one arid 1 will show you a gentleman by nature and by practice though he may never have worn a suit of broad cloth nor eve jwjard of a lexicon i am proud to s&v for tho honor of our species there are men in every throb of whose hearts there is a so licitude ttfr the welfare of mankind and whose every breath is perfumed with kindness jlo'w fefe wls scared.—mark twain tells the following story of a fel low passenger who being bantered about his timidity said he had nev ■ er been scared since ho had loaded tn o*3 queen anne's musket for his father once whereupon he related the following : you can see the old man was try ing to learn ine to shoot blackbirds and beasts that toro up the young corn and such things so that i could be of some use about the farm bo cause i wasn't big enough to do much my gun was a little single ibarrel shot gun and the old man ! carried an old queen anne's musket that weighed a ton and made a re j^ort like a thunder-clap and kicked like a mule the old man wanted me to shofiit the old musket some times but i was afraid one day tnough i got her down and so i took her to the hired man and asked him how to load her because the old man was out in the fields hiram said : do you see them marks on the stock—an x,anda v v on the queen's crown well that means 10 balls and 5 slugs—that's her load but bow much powder j oh ne says it don't matter put in three or four handsfuil so i loaded her that way land it was an awful charge—t had sense enough to see that—and started out 1 leveled her on a good many black birds but every time i went to pnll the trigger i shut my eyes and wink ed i was afraid of her kick to wards sundown i fetched it up to the house and there was the old man resting on the porch " seen out hunting have ye v « yes sir says i what did you kill " didn't kill anything sir—didnt shoot he off—l was afraid she'd kick i knew blamed well she would " gimmus that gun i the old man says mad as sin and he took aim at a sapling oh the other side of the road and i began to drop back out of danger and tbe next minute i heard an earthquake and the queen anne whirled end over end in the air and the old man spin ning around on ohe heel with one leg up and both hands on hiß jaw and the bark flying from the old man's shoulder was set back inches and his jaw turned black and blue and he had to lay up three days cholera nor nothing else can ever scare me as 1 was scared that time hindoo widows instead of burn ing themselves on the faneval piles of their husbands are like sensible wo inen marrying again.—[exchange they seem to haye adopted the

entered the room the man only leading him by the tuft of his mane ne was a magniffceht animal,two years old,and full grown all but his mane which although but a foot long made however are spectable appearance he did hot seem to care about our being stran gers but wandering about the room like a large ddg permitted ub to take liberties with him such as patting him shaking a paw and making him exhibit his teeth an,d claws he showed a marked predilection in fa vor of old acquaintances and laying down before them turned on his back to be scratched after a scratch or two he began to yawn and was fairly settling himself for a nap when a cigar was puffed in his face a proceeding he evidently did not ap prove of rising in a hurry curl ing his lips and wrinkliug his nose he exposed to view a splendid set of teeth a sure sign that he was not pleased a hearty sneeze seemed td restore him to good temper and bearing no malice he returned a friendly pat bestqwed on him by catjt martenot who had been the aggressor by rubbing his head cares singly against his knees.-[kenneay's algeria and tunis „ josh billings elements of mobaii philosophy.—we are apt to hate them who won't take our advice and despise them who do it is dreadful easy to be a phool—a man can be one and not know it elegant je^zure—chewing plug to bacco and spitting in a dorg's eye real happiness don't consist so much in what a man don't want fear is the fust lesson larn't and the last one forgotten nobody but a phool gits bit twice by the same dorg failures • our most guarded most earnest . attempts often prove failures and to this the lives of the wise and tho good bear witness how worse than use less then for us to bit vdowh in de spair because we do not sttcceedih the first onset then whatever we undertake7,tet us first make up our minds that we must sometimes stand face to face with remorse and while she point's back to the miß-steps checkering the past she will whisper reproachfully " you did wrong there and there oh there is nothing so painful as looking back on mistakes and follies when it is too late to turn back ! but we gain knowledge insuch retrospec tion which the maxims of wisdom and admonitions of age have failed to teach vs this is that school of experionce the most ancie'n,t and vigilant of all masters and he has a goodly number of pupils : for where is the who has no mistakes'in the past to regret ? who has made no mis-steps become entangled by no follies 7 who by inherent wisdom escaped ail these snares and pitfalls so let ns take heart for failures must be as long as human nature retains so much imper fection tho young take their places in the world sanguine and cheerful and de not steel their hearts to bear the cold ness with which older ones look up on their enthusiasm they have not considered the misunderstanding of some and , the wilful misjudging of others—what frost id blight the fair flowers of fancy i youth looks up on the gilded surface of life uncon scious that beneath a foe has dug his mines and laid his toils:—and alas that we must bear testimony that very many will take advantage of their simplicity to cause them to stumble t thus youth ventursome aud un armed comes forth to theconfiict and how can he parry the darts and thrusts i the opposing hosts ? he strikes bravely for the object of his heart but what wonder that he is wounded in the ftrsj contest then he falls into the hands of experience1 who probes his wounds',and while he stands face to face with reality drills him through many a mental conflict so he takes his first lessons in that " dear school and hereafter he will be a bettor soldlei we must fail sometimes,'ancl disap pointment is not all we have to bear mockery will add a crown of thorns many will rejoice that we have fallen they will robe their joy in the sheep's clothitig of pity and come to us wth clamdrous disagreeable condolence but let us add with thankfulness the friendship of this world is not all dross and adversity opens our eyes to behold the pure gold oh that is a blessed law which says " bear ye one another's burdens and blessed are they who obey it we cannot escape the fact sometimes we must meet withf fail ures but if we watch our hearth that no enemy betray us from within though we fail once twice thrice we shall overcome at last»*-*-[r ur a 1 world perils by the
