Next door to Henry Busch & Co. the eighth day all male children were circumcised. At the age of live they began the study of the Scriptures. Af ter, they began the study of the Mish- na. At twelve they crossed tiie line between boyhood and youth. They were then known as children of the law. They then asHunie<rresponstbil- ity for themselveg. Tiiey then became of the number who must present themselves before the lord three times in each year’ at the great feasts. At abo t this age Paul went to Jeru salem to st nay at the feet of Gama liel.” Tt should be remembered also tftat in our age a boy or girl of twelve years is as old in thought, experience and culture usoue of twenty years in Bible times, and a modern child of seven fr -ijin-utly knows as much ofChristian truth and life as the adult converts of Apostolic daj's wlro were often conver- led under the first presentation ofthe truth. The doctrine of the Bible in this matter is not only plain, but unmis takable. }Ieu must become as clril- dren to enter the kingdom ; hence ehil dreu are not less but more ready for this step than adults. The history of the church has also proved the possibility and desirability of early conversion by the unanswer able argument of multiplied and marked experiences. Let it first be remembered that nearly every emi nent Bible character began his godly life in chihihoood. The same state ment will hold goad to a large degree in the church of more recent ages. Baxter became a Christian when a mere child; Polycarp was conveited at nine; Matthew Henry at eleven: President Edwards about seven; Dr. Watts at nine Bishop Hall at eleven Mr. You are right .about it—we do not pleased to have the Vice Presidcn want our women to vote in this conn- j lightning “striking in his directir but in the Herald's judgment U Grady’s name would look betteijL® 11 the ticket next year than that ot'^’*^ come down from the elevated plane ] “Cleveland and Grady” do? wise enough to vote.

He condemns all this unqualifiedly; condemns “havingthe childrtm of Boston used any longer as an agency for promoting” the adop tion of the metric system, which not one in three hundred will ever use; and holds up the modern arithmetic as a “bastard arithmetic which fails to perform the true function of that study in our public schools, namely, to produce accuracy and a reasonable ' i degree of facility in numerical opera- o 5(j j tions, while wasting the time of the .'> 00 : pupils, perplexing their minds, worry ing their tempers,rasping theirnerves, and, in case of total or partial failure, unnecessarily and unrighteously shocking and impairing their seif- n sued and scholarly ambition.” Gen.

I’d as soon look for an angel mixing around in the motley crowd at an election as one of our good wo men. It will not do; I tell you it will not do. The women may draw the men up by staying above them; but if they come down, they will soon be come brazen-faced like men, and they will swagger like men, and swear tike men, and lie like men, and get drunk like men. When that comes to pass both men and women will go to hell in a hurry. Our wom^ii ought to stay at home and make home sweet and htfjipy. A sweet, happy home is the next best place to heaven. It is the best moralizer and civilizer known among men. When home is gone all is gowe. The government will go when our homes go. Our home life and family life is the chief corner stone of this great country of ours. The more we have of this the better it will lie for us as a people. When a woman, a wife and mother, makes a good home, one whose piety is su preme, she is doing the best and great est thing for her country a woman can do. It is infinitely above the ballot box, 1 he hustings, the Senate Chamber or tjie House of Representatives. Home and the remembrance of lilmie is often tiie last link that binds a prod igal hoy’s heart to God. Thousands of them have come to themselves while thinking about home. The re membrance of home leads them to say, “I will arise and go to my father’s house.” 1 love the women. God bless you, Mr. Editor, I love the wo men next to my Lord and his church, and I do not want to see them soiled by crowding and pressing to the polls to vote. No, no; not my mother, nor my wife, tier my daughter, nor my sister, nor any other man’s mother, sister, wife or daughter. The women, I grant you, might purify the ballot if they did not get tarnished them selves. Women, you know, are made out of dirt just like men. They get excited like men, get mad like men, become partisan like men, and they are just as liable to make fools of themselves as men.

The women don’t want to vote; not one in a thousand in this country wants to vote. My mother, my wife, my daughter do not want to vote. I’ve no sister. If I had, I know she would not want to vote. What! my mother, my wife, my daughter down town on election day mixing up witli men, black and white, good and bad, and with women, good and bad, black and white! I’d sooner see them dead, and, bless God, they’d die before they’d go there. They would. They’ve got too much sense, too much modesty, too much religion, for that. The women don’t want to vote. They don’t. Set that down in your book. They want to stay at home, make home happy, care for their children, and give their hus bands a gracious greeting when tliev come home. Home! home! bless God for a good, sweet home, a good mother, a sweet wife and affectionate children. These nerve a man to pu rity, truthfulness, honesty, virtue and sobriety. A yvife will reverence her husband if lie is at all worthy of it ; and some good wives, thank God, reverence their husbands even when they are not worthy of it. Mr. Editor, 1 came mighty near saying that if the ballot were conferred upon women none but sorry women would go to the polls, but I won’t say that. Some good but mistaken women might go a few. times, but they would soon see and say, “This is no place for me.” Home is tiie throne of woman. She is queen there. At home she has the homage of her husband, her sons, her father, and of all men who are worthy of tiie name. There is a home. See that mother sitting by tbe cradle. She is rocking a baby hoy.

The fact lias been kept secret by tiie railway officials, and was at first received with incredulity by their subordinates, but it is a fact, never theless, and after diligent searcli a correspondent succeeded in learning enough of tiie heroine of tiie “iron horse” to describe her experiences in her own language. The heroine is an English girl named Mattie Morgans, who came to this country about two years ago after serving her appren ticeship as stoker on the Great North ern Railway, between London and Edition rgli. She concealed her sex so cleverly that she readily secured a position as fireman on the Naugatuck Railroad and was eventually promoted to the post of engineer, first on a freight and afterwards on a passenger locomotive, a post which she might have held to this day- but for her voluntary retire ment six months ago. The cause of her retirement is told below in her own words, but how the discovery of her sex was made is not definitely known except to tiie railroad officials, who decline to talk about the matter. Five years ago Mattie Morgans, then a pretty girl of nineteen, fell in love with Tom Winnan, an engineer of the “Flying Scotchman.” Tom’s •un was from King’s Cross Station, jVudon, to York and return alternate ffayVf*- T* 16 “Flying Scotchman's” service includes a train from Edin- burglY aii, l olie from Loudon, leaving each cVy U* A.

She would listen to the thrilling recitals of his adventures until she learned to love her hero us Desdemona loved the Moor. She yearned to ffy through the air with him and share the dan gers, excitements and triumphs of a life so foreign from her own. It is not an uncommon tiling in England and Scotland to find man’s work per formed by women, and what more natural than in this case to find wo man’s love of adventure, curiosity and love overcoming all objections. A short ti ue only was required to bring about her plans. With Tom’s earnest assistance she was duly installed as stoker under his charge, her rough fustian suit and face purposely be smeared wills coal dust and oil com pletely disguising Tom’s sweetheart.

I suppose you would think it strange if I sTiOiVld tell you that I have been inside of iiiy~Ylij?ine’s fire box, but of course it was eoltk- I have also been inside the spark arrester and shifted the diaphram. Once while ftF.VlUUg a passenger train I keyed up and fas tened a slipped eccentric. We were running forty miles an hour when it happened. I shut off, gave her sand, turned the air-cock for brakes and brought up the train all standing. My fireman and I crawled under the for ward driver-axle and pried the eccen trie into place. Tiie passengers gath ered about and looked on. My fireman climbed back into tiie cab and worked tiie lever until the links came into place, and then I tightened the set screws holding the eccentric in place. I could not adjust the ‘throw’ to a nicety, and in consequence the ‘lead’ was a trifle 'off’ on one side, so that when we started again the ‘exhaust’ barked unevenly, sounding like the exhaust of an emriue not properly ‘quartered.’ I performed this job in six minutes, which drew considerable attention from railroad men.. I re ceived a letter of commendation from tiie Superintendent, and was shortly thereafter given the ‘day express’ to run. I never had any serious acci dent, but I have killed two men. One was walking on the track. I blew and blew for him, but he did not hear me, and was struck. The other man attempted to drive his wagon over a grade crossing. I struck him and killed him and his horse also. “These accidents had a strange ef fect. upon me.

At Niblo’s Garden ‘Lulu’ broke the hearts and won many favors from rich men. ‘Lulu’ was hurled from the catapult. He was shot out of a cannon. From concealed springs on the stage at Niblo’s he was tired to dizzy heights, and his graceful figure deceived the poor deluded men into offers of mar riage. ‘Lulu’ made a living by his disguise. Why should not I do the same? It is an even exchange. But I am done with my disguise, for I am going to be married. My affianced is a stationary engineer and lias charge of the 60 horse newer engine in one ol the large manufactories.

The prime object of this exhibition is, that the producing classes all over the country may meet annually in friendly rivalry and competition, for the purpose of displaying what each has wrought during the year.

They go away benefited, and for this purpose mainly was this Encampment inaugurated. The location of the Encampment is central and easily accessible from ev ery county iu the States above men tioned, It is directly on the line of the Atlanta and Charlotte division of the Richmond and Danville Railroad, witli direct connection at Spaitanburg 'one mile from grounds) \yith Charles ton and the sea coast, Augusta and tbe South, Atlanta and the Southwest and West, Asheville and the North west and West, and Charlotte and all points beyond to the East, North and Northeast. It lies at the foot of and in clear view of the Blue Ridge Moun tains. The city of Spartanburg, S. 0., was chosen by the committee charged witli the selection of a locution on ac count of tiie many advantages and fa cilities afforded to such a grand enter prise. 1st. The railroad facilities of the lo cation ut Spartanburg are unsurpassed for easy and speedy access from every part of the whole country. 2nd. The city is the first and only one of any importance di ;eotly in tbe mo nt region and having direct ilidgeMoi 11 ii t tm... U Western North Carolina aud~oej to the great West. 3rd. It is in the direct line of all summer travel from the low comities of South Carolina and Georgia, and from Florida, to the mountain resorts of Western North Carolina. 4rh. The health of the city and county of Spartanburg is unsurpassed by any locality in the whole Southern States. 5th. It is also easily accessible to the celebrated health resort of Glenn Springs, besides many resorts of mi nor importance within easy reach. 6th. The whole city and county is alive to any and every enterprise that looks to the upbuilding of the South and the bettering of the condition of the agricultural and producing classes. The grounds are thirty acres in ex tent, facing the railroad, where there will be double side tracks with hand some and convenient depots. Water will be abundantly supplied from wells and from the city water works. Streets and avenues surround and in tersect the grounds at convenient dis tances. There has been a mammoth pavilion erected near tiie centre of the grounds, in which public addresses will lie de livered by prominent agriculturists at various hours in the day and evening. One of tiie States above named is now- erecting a handsome and commodious structure fo« tiie exhibition of its re sources, to be under the management of the State Department of Agricul ture. The other four Stales will, iu all probability, make provision at the next sessions of their respective Legis latures f>r the erection of similar State buildings. Every effort is being put fart! 1 by the management to give the occasion every possible convenience and facility for tiie successful accom plishment of tiie Encampment's ob ject and aim. Many persons will erect small plank tents on the grounds for permanent use; many others will bring cloth tents, quilts and blankets w ith them, while the management will endeavor to have a sufficient number besides, so that all visitors desiring to do so can “camp out” on the grounds.
