We wish them all the blessings of long life, peace, and that experience which will be most fruitful a harvest of good deeds. Wednesday, Jan. 21, ISSO , in this city," Miss Minnie Home and W. D.

The Legislature. now in session are pushing on their work vigorously.

HEBALD. NO It was once 'stamped upon the mind of tbe leading men" in the British Parliament that the English could most wisely and judiciously decide all governmental questions relating to Americans, whom they considered their subjects and inferiors. A fewTr Americans wore different colored glasses, andj looking to the future good, allowed their motives to be misunderstood by some and misrepresented by others, while they (vainly, shall I say?) petl-- , , tioned. Parliament, in its assumed dignity and strength, spurned respectful petitions from American men; but .the "backbone" of the justice and right of said petition was thereby strengthened, American men as tax payers, with no decided opinions upon public policy, wore ''admirable;" but when they expressed a wish to help guide the Ship of State to such harbor as seemed to them desirable and good for them and their generations after them, not ' ; lysjcold- :nlywaaai-Uameataty;8jo.r- shoulder turned, but radicals talked of pross, and the rabble foamed, pective s while the more conservative contented with an undeflnable - Tjair.

A member opposing woman's disabilities bill e&ys, "woman's voting works well enough, and I am disposed to let well enough alone.'
