March 10.— During the last two days over one thousand of tlie leading women of this city have registered and will vote under the recent law granting muni cipal suffrage to women. Mrs. Helen M. Ganger, «»f Indiana, is lure doing; herculean work. She is paying spe cial attention to organizing the col ored women and iia* aroused great enthu-.ia*ni. Meetings of the new law amt 'Haler party are being held every af'.erinHin and evening. The whiskey alliance is also fully organ-, ized anil at work. The spring elec tion will therefore be hotly contes ted. A negro was shot in the forehead at Adams’ Run by another negro a few davs ago.

It is to prevent this that he i* contin ually watched in order to avert or cure every indisposition. “Of course,” said the doctor, “lie requires a good deal of sleep. He has occasional swoons, but these are si nply the result of over work and they no longer alarm us, because we have found a certain rem edy. His mental and physical fresh ness and health is such as many men thirty or forty years younger might envy him. It is therefore hardly necessary to contradict the rumor that he will make the Grown Prince co- Regent. He himself said he would stick to his post to tlie last moment.” Tlie women’s rights women o' Brooklyn seem determined to vote at all hazard*. They have just ad dressed a letter to Gov. Hill, iu w hieli they say: We request the Governor of New York to recommend that a law he enacted to protect women it this StuAe in exercising their right to vote. If the Legislature fails lo make a law for our protection we have resolved to demand tiiat you shall call out the militia to protect us at the polls, thereby preventing riot and blood shed.” It is not to be supposed that tin sc bloodthirsty females will go to the polls armed with pistols. They will go with the deadly flatiron in their hip-pockets.—Savannah Xctcs. lively that Blackwood consented to come w ith him to Augusta.

Just w here all tlie arctic whales winter has long been a mooted question. They are found all along the toast of Cal 1 'for nia during some of the w inter months. But their breeding grounds there arc the lower latitudes, as at Magdalena bay' and in the shallow bays of (he lower Mexican coast. It Is probable that some go down ns far ns the Central American coa*! All the right whales seen along the coast do not enter the Arctic, although it would seem that (he greater number do. Many arc found in the snminer season in thi Okhotsk sea and along the coast of Siberia. The right whale seeks out his summer feeding grounds in high latitudes and seeks out breeding grounds in low latitudes. This nunual migration and return is counted on with tlie greatest certainty. As many whales come out ol the Arctic in autumn as cuter in the spring. These facts govern the operations of the whaling fleet. Hence, after the Arctic whaling season is over many ships discharge and refit at once and go down the coast preparatory to a later cruise in high latitudes. At several points along tlio coast in this state there are shore sta tions where a considerable number of whales are caught as they go up and down tlie coast.—San Francisco Bulletin. ing*.

Armed with a bamboo stick about four feet long, which may be readily lengthened to fifteen or twenty feet by a telescopic slide, the Mongolian hoodlum makes his way about dusk to a back or side window, which has been left-open at the top for ventilation. The pole is stuck through the window, being stretched out as it is inserted, and by means of a small hook at the end betL-preads, blankets, sln-ets, and pillows are pulled through the opening. It has sometime* occurred that bed clothing has thus been removed while tbs bed contained an occupant, who was sleeping soundly. In the case of an alarm the pole is dropped, and,, being on the outside of the building, tho hoodlum easily makes ins escape.— Mark Twain talks of endowing a home for uiiiiipcd-out humorist*. Co’.
