To describe a household of women I once knew, would be comical to the last degree, if not so provokingl pitiful. There were five rich widows (one of these women was said to be worth ten millions) all belonging to the same family, living in a hand-som- e house in a fashionable-par- t of New York, paying heavy taxes withdut a word to say in regard to municipal government; with their maids and servants they nunir bered just one dozen women. They had one colored man, with a head the size of an apple, one eye and lame in one leg. On the first Tuesday of every November, this gentleman, a kind of majorlomo to the establishment, represented these twelve women annually at the polls, five of them highly educated, the other seven able. to read and write, any one of them competent to throw the little majordomo over the wall; yet he was the only citizen of the Republic in this household. The twelve women had not a word to say in regard to the laws or lawmakers urider which they lived. They were practically slaves according to what Benjamin Franklin once said: "If a man's property can be taken from him without vhis consent he is a slave If he has no voice in the government under which he lives, he is a slave."
