Show WO and the uuivereal judgment of every intelliiedmau present was and is gent and that the exprriuaeut was a SLiCce." P Judge Kingman, Associate Ju.ice of the Supreme Court of Wyoming wrsies fronTTLira-rn- i City to It. D. Douglas, JEHi.: "I aui glad to have theppportunity to refute the idle c luuiny to which you refer. Of a large number of cases tried in this Territory by woaien Justices of the Peace, only two have been appealed, and thess two were both sustained by the Appellate Court, and judgment ordered in accordance with the deeisionof the woman Jus'dce; "AnJ the truth is where there wore men and women justices in the same town at the sumo time, and where parties brought th-i- r case; before either at their own selec i j, trie women have hid by far the greater number to .try, Ld have given the best satisfaction. To be sure we have not had a large number of women justices. We have here, as everywhere e se, a set of drones who want to get their living without work, and the manage to crowd Women out of nearly every place of profU and honor; but whenever and wherever she has had a chanca to bring her talent or her influence into fair comparison wi h the men here in Wyoming, she has invariably appeared to a i vantage, and all parties have been benefitted " Facts &uch as these speak for themselves and need no comment. fiir-mi- n he While reading to day, I noticvd a quotation from a chapter on Character, which may be found in Rev. William G Elliot's Lecture to Young Women, which commences thus: "Little as maybe our reject for a man without good principles, a woman without good princi? pies deservts aLd'will receive less." How can a womau without g joJ principles be more despicable than a mnn in the same state? Is it superiority or inferiority that is claimed for a w. man? Hoping that tome of- our talented tisters will give m a true woman's view of the subject, and heartily wishing you success in your work for the elevation of woman, Yours respectfully, - Karrie. THE WEIGHT OF BRAIN. EXPONENT. If women follow precisely iu the satne'paths that man pursue, they will achieve tha same fcuccets; but if they are to be subjected to the little torments which beset the Jives of most women, then the result will be different. A man attends strictly to whatever h:s ini:jd chooses, and if a woman should try to, it would prove an utter impossibility, for if she is mar-lieher time is engrossed with otEer things, unless nhe is financially situated, so thnt she is not inconvenienced on that score. Yet how many women can I name who have reared families and cultivated the intellect, until they thine forlh a brilliant stars; and we are proud to know that under the most distressing circumstances they have proved that they are man's equal. It seem? to me only bigoted will beiieviEyiu If continueto advance the Lext fifty years as we have in the past, we shall detract more of their lustre and prove that, it is not quantity but quality which is required; NELLIE. IN MEMORIAM. With feeling of sadues we record the departure of another loved one. After suffering for several years frm disease of the heart, W tokens Freeze, wife of J. P. Freeza of ths llth Ward, ps3ed from earth to that blest abode of rest and peace, on Friday, Dec. 19, So-ph- ing articles relative to rhe inferiority of woman's" Drain. The write r hue their claim on the letser weight of the female brain. A man is eminently fcuperior to a woman becausa his braiu weighs more, and they cite many in- stances to prove the theory. And in face of all this, convincing proof presented to me, I cannot believe it. Wmen aie just learning how much they may know, and are proving every day that they are mau's tqual in intellect if not in strength. Womau in the pist has not been allowed the privilege to develop her faculties, but the is now thrusting the Carrier., aside that has so Jong checked her intellectual growth,' and now standi the peer of man. The uinteinth century should boast of the intellect of woman. We find her actively engaged in nearly ail the pursuits to which man is eligible. I thick it is not the weight of the br&in which decides the superiority of the sex, but the cultivation of it. Who will deny that George Eliot is an equal aod an ab'e writer and clear thinker with man? And Rosa Bon" htur as an, artist, Anna Dickenton a lecturer, Elizabeth Cady Stanton a woman who has of our much esteemed and beloved sitter and co worker, who has, by Diyine Pr o v i d e !. c ? , b e e n removed by the hand, of death; she being a member of' the Y. 1.
