Ed. Democrat Star: 1 send
you an article clipped from
an exchange, which is so earn
cst, so just,and so true, that l
thought a portion of it,at least
should ho republished in ail
our papers, and ask you to
start (he wheel rolling by giv
ing it a place in your paper,
which reaches so many who
ought to be interested in this
all important subject, and I
would add my mite in favor
«>f better laws in regai% to
f white schools. In this com
inanity, numbering about
eighteen hundred, xve have
public school about 4 months
in every three years,when we
ought to have a good school,
with at least two competent
teachers.iiine mouthsin every
year. What is the inattei i It
must be deficient legislation.
1 am told that this little place
pays enough liquor license to
support such a school. It we
must endure the evil, by all
means let us have the benefits
also. Will not our able rep re
seutative consider this,and let
the thought ot the number of
poor children who till our
streets—ay! even adults,nice,
respectable, but poor people
among us, 4\ho can neither

with divine pity, that will
overflow in “Words that
breathe and thoughts that
burn,” until the balls of our

Eds. Clarion: Having read
tlie earnest words of Captain
Woods of Meridian, on the
subject of Woman’s Rights
and Wrongs, I ask space in
the Clarion to say a few words
from a woman’s standpoint.
Whilst the women of the land
are, no doubt, deeply grateful
to Capt Woods for his manly
defense, and for Ins eloquent
appeal in their behalf, yet I
would respectfully suggest
that something more is need'd.
The ladies are annually
treated to similar orations.by
distinguished speakers, from
the rostrums of female colie
ges, and they are beginning to
leulizetliat mote is requisite
in this matter than mere elo-.
qnent speeches. They rec
ognize the scriptural truth
that “faith without work is
dead,” and, notwithstanding
all the tine talk that has been
indulged in, matters run on
in the same old rut—no
schemes for liighei education
are advanced, and there is no
perceptible widening of wos
man’s tqdicre.
Just. Here, since mere is
some controversy as to what
is worn in's sphere, let me say
that I agree fully tv itii Capf.
Woods in all that he savs in
regard to the education of wo
man—that she should be so
educated as to tit her for any
of the pursuits of life she may
choose to follow. She must
not, however, choose to enter
the pulpit, because an in
spired apostle bus said, ‘Let
young women keep silence
in 1 he churches.’ Nor can she
enter the political arena, in
Mississippi,or any oilier state,
without unsexing herself. As
well might Shylock take his
pound of flesh and shed no
drop of blood as could wo
man enter into politics with*
out losing that ‘grace, delica*
cy, gentleness ana puniy
which rendor her supremely
attractive and distinctively
feminine.’ Woman is,but bu
man after all. and with her
quick sensibilities, in the ex
cited political contest^ the
Hashing eye, the bitter retort,
and even the clenched list,
might too often attest her in
tense earnestness.
Woman is fitly and best
tqsrwmnted at the ballot-box
by father, husband, son or
brother, and the country lias
not suffered more in all these
years by the government bo
ing confined exclusively t:»
masculine Jiands than it wo’d
in future if woman was drag
ged into the slums of politic
cal life.
Now, gentlemen, to your
ecord. You who agree so
uianiiuously, upon college
rostrums, that woman needs
ind deserves higher educa
tion, what have you done
(not said) to attest your sin
leretyl You, Capt. Woods, of
Meridian, the author of the
latest published appeal in be
half of the fair sex,what have1
you ever done (not said) to
| secure the higher education
of the women of Mississippi?
11 demand of Senator Lamar,
jof whom all his country wo
men are justly proud, who,
in the summer of 1879, ad
dressed one of our- largest fe
male colleges most eloquent
ly upon the mental equality
of the sexes—what scheme
has Senator Lamar every orig
mated (not talked of) for the
higher education of Mississip
pi’s daughters?
So we might take them all,
and find that while much has
been sau^nothiiig has been
done to secure our women
that intellectual training and
consequent self dependence
which theysomuoh need and
desire.
Glancing over the past wo
arc forced to conclude that it
is to the religion of Jesus
Christ that woman owes ev*
rythiug. Even now, were it
not for the female schools
founded by tiie different chur
ches, .woman would be, inte
leetually, almost in the semi
twilight of the Dark Ages
The State of Mississippi—and
1 say it to her shame—seems
thus tar to have repudiated
the ideal hat her daughter pos
sess mental capacity beyond
what the common schools can
develop. It is claimed by
some that education and in
tellectual training ui'tit wo
man for the duties of her lot.
Does education destroy pride?
Because woman is educated
would she be content with
unkempt hair, unswept floors,
and untidy garments? Away
with such a proposition.
Men of Mississippi! the time
has come for action, We have
had enough of earnest words
and fine spun theories. We
want, now, earnest,* prompt,
and vigorous effort. You who
compose the legislature of
our State, and lock and guard
her treasury; you who appro
priate thousands annually to
the support of universities
and schools for the white
males and colored race—it. is
high lime to establish,at least,
one school for the education
of the white females of this
Stale. Take some of the limits
ey which women pay into the
treasury as taxes, and found
for us and institution where
hook keeping, telegraphy and
typography can be taught—a
normal school of art, music
and uiatheffiatics where wo
men can he fitted and trained
for a remunciativc and indes
per.dent life work. Do this
or else forever hereafter hold
your peace in regard to wo
man’s rights and wrongs. Do
this or else say to woyiau in
words as you do in actions,
‘Go and be a drudge-go to the
uursery, the sewing room and
kitchen, and there only find
your appropriate place,’
A Mississippi Woman.
Hew Ben. Rarny Captured Brig
ham Voting.
‘You must, have seen con
siderable of Gen. Ouster dur
iug your life on the frontier?’
remarked the reporter inqui
ringly, as the scout, lighted
Ins pipe and seated himself
opposite.
‘Yes, I was with his com
mand occasionally from the
time he came to the plains
until the time of his death.
1 worked for him very little
as a scout or guide, but. hun
ted for him at various times.
I was at the Rosebud Agen*
cv at the time lie w.as masse
cred.’
‘He was a good Indian figh
ter, was he noli’
‘That depends upon what
you mean .by a ‘good Indian
tighter.’ He was a very brave
man, but a rashly breve man.
I do not tbiuk the Indian
was ever born whom Chester
was afraid of. Ha appeared
to take perfect delight in ex
posing himself to danger,and
oftentimes when there was no
use or sense in his so doing.
He used to halt his command
at sight of Indians and him
self ride forward to reconnoi
tre. He would ride up so
near them that they would
open fire on him, and then
he would turn in his saddle,
swing his hat for the trooos to
ernie up with him, put spurs
to liis horse and dash down
upon the Indians, with the
bullets fairly raining around
him.
‘Now, such fighting as that
wins lor an officer the name
of being very bravs,bnt I call
it foolhardiness. When he
made such a charge as that,
knew absolutely nothing of
what danger (uenaced him.
There might befiifty Indians
in ambush in front of him,or!
there might be fivQ hundred,'
and for- auglit he know he
might bo leading his com
mand to, certain destruction.
It is all very well for a man
to go out and make a target
ofhimsell for Indians to Hhoot
at, but it is sheer reckless
ness. Anybody who thinks
the Indians are not good
marksmen is mistaken. They
are continually practicing,
and- they have the best of
arms, most of them having
repeating rifhs. Duster seem
ed to think be bore a charm
ed life. 1 have heard that he
said that the Indian didn't,
live who could hit him.
‘Now, my idea of a brave
man and a good Indian Ugh
ter is one who first ascertains
the strength of the enemy,
and then *it he thinks he can
win, makes the attack with
coolness and judgment. Then
let him show his bravery by
lighting like the devil, in
my opinion it is poor general
ship for a commanding officer
to needlessly put himself in
a position to be shot at the
very outset of an engagement
and thus take a chance of
leaving bis command without
a leader. If to be afraid of
nothing is to he brave. Ous
ter was the bravest of *he
brave. Harnev was the best
•>
military leader for the plains
I ever met. Ue was cool
and del.berate in his brave
ness, but a lion in a fight.’
‘When were you with him?’
‘I was with him at the time
of the Mountain Meadow mas
sacre, and I went to Salt
Lake city with him when he
went down there to interviow
Brigham Young. Now, there
was an incident connected
with that trip that. I do not.
think was then reported, or
has e\er been written up. It
shows the kind-'of a man
narnev was.'
‘Tell me about it.’
‘When lie heard about the
massacre, lie sent out scouts
to liud out who the murder
ers were, and when they re
ported to him that they were
Mormons, off he went with
his entiie command for Salt
Lake City, swearing every
rod of the way that he would
hang the murderers if he had
to hang every Mormon in
Utah.
Ho intended to give Brig*
ham Young t wenty-tour hours
to surrender up the murder*
ers, and unless this was done
Latter-Day Saints would bo
mighty scarce around there.
Before we reached Salt Lake
City a messenger overtook us
with orders from the VVar
Department for Harny to
return to camp; that the civ*
ll authorities would attend to
the massacre business. Then
you ought to have heard the
old man swear.
‘He thought the matter ov
er for a little while, and then
declared that he had started
for Salt Lake City, and he
would go there if he was
court-martialed and shot for
it. And he went, too; and
if the War Department ever
heard of it no action was ta
ken. We camped a short
distance out side the city,and
stayed a few days to give the
animals a rest, and they uoed
it sadly, for wo had traveled
fast. The morniug that we
started back to Yuma a young
girl about seventeen or eigh
teen years old came out to
tlie camp and applied ro Bra
dy, the train master, to help
her escape. Her parents were
English, who had joined the
Mormons long before, and
one of the elders wanted to
marry her. Her parents were
trying to force her to this po
lygamous marriage, and she
could only avoid it by run
ning away. She had an un
cle and aunt in San Francis
co, and to them • she wanted
to go.
‘Brady wasn’t the mart to
say ‘No,’ uuder such circum
stances, and he stowed her
away in the flour wagon by
piling the barrels aronnd her
in such a way that she could
not l>3 seen from either end.
We hadn’t gone far before
a dozen Mormons overtook
us, the girl’s father being
along with them, and they
went throngh that train until
they iouud the girl. After
they got her out, she turned
to Brady and bade him good
by, at the same time thanks
ing Inm for trying to help
her. Thar, of course, gave
him dead away,and the Mor
mons arrested him for kid
napping the girl, and away
they all went toward the city.
Harny saw that there was
something wrong with the
train, and back came a mes
senger to see what was the
Ul&iier- As sbou as Ha they
[was informed of vhat had
'occurred,he ordered the train
to halt.and stay tliero until he
[ got back, and, swearing worse
than before, away he and all
the troops went for the Mar
mens. They had a long start
on him, however,and reached
the city first. Do you sups
pose Harney stopped when
lie reached the city? Not a
bit of it. Right up tiie main
[street lie went, at a gallop,and
when he jumped from his
horse and cried ‘Halt!’ it was
right in front of Brigham’s
office. There was a guard on
duty there with a musket and
fixed bayonet, but as lie bro’t
[bis weapon to a charge Har
[ ney gave it a kick that turned
the guard half round,and the
| next instant he was disarm*
ed. Harney strode into the
office with a halt-dozen sol
diers at bis heels, and two
.minutes lu*er Bygbam was
astraddle of a lyorse and gal
loping down the street in the
centre of a troop of cavalry. v
It was fun to see the Mor
moils stare as they saw the
old man in such company,
but before they could have
time to act we were out of the
city. About 'five miles out
Harney ordered a halt, and
it wasn’t long before a lot of
Mormons came riding up as
fast as their horses could car
ry them. When they got. up
w ithin sound of his voice,Har
ney oidered them to halt or
he would lire on them, and
they halted. Then he order
ed Brigham to tell them to
go back to the city and bring
Brady and the girl back with
them, and said he to Brig
ham, ‘If they are not here in
side of two hours I’ll till your
carcass lull of Government
lead!’
‘inn don’t dare to, says
Brigham.
‘Why-von,’ says Har
ney, ‘I’ll shoot you myself!’
Long before the two hours
were up Brady and the girl
were there, and when we got
to Yuma,Harney sent a guard
wiih her to San Berdino, on
her way to San Francisco.—
That’s the kind of a man Har
ney was,’-Detroit Free Press.
Keep a Bottle of Lime Water.
If good milk disagrees with
a child or grown person, lime
water at the rate of 3 or 4 ta
blc'Spoonfuls to the pint, mix
ed with the milk or taken uf
ter it, will usually help diges
tion and prevent flatulence.
Limewatur is a simple ant'
acid, and is a little tonic. It
often counteracts pain from
acid fruits, from ‘wind in the
stomach,’ and from acids pro*
duced by eating candies and
other sweets; also ‘stomach
ach’ (indigestion) from overs
eating of any kind. A table
spoonful fora child of two ■
years old, to a gill or ityore'
tor an auun, is an ordinary
dose, while considerable mure
will produce no serious inju>
ry. A pint of cold water ilis*
solves less than 10 grains of
lime, and warm water still
less. Puie lime water, even
though pretty closely corked
soou deteriorates by oarbonio
acid in the air, which unites
with the lime and settles as
an insoluble carbonate. To
have it always ready and good
.and at. no cost, put it into u
tall pint or quart glass bottle,
of any kind, a gill or so of
good lime just slaked with
water. Then fill the bottle
nearly lull of rain or other
pure water, and let it stand
quietly, corking well. The
lime will settle, leaving clear
lime water it the top. Pom
off gentlely as wanted, adding
more water as needed. Some
carbonic acid will enter, but
the carbonate will settle, of
ten upon the sides of the but
tie,- and freshly saturated wa
ter remain. The lime should
be removed and a new supply
put in it once a year or so,
unless kept very' tightly cor
ked.—American AgricuUurs

We hold the following to

government lias neither a
moral nor a lawful right to
assess and collect taxes for

obtaining of the necessary
means of its maintenance;
that no tax should he levied
for the purposes of enhancing
the market price of any mer
chandise on the consumers
thereof, for the benelit of
any person, corporation!, or
section and that no tax sho'ld

Woman.
Hope for Flittering Woman!—
Something new under the sun. By
reason of her peculiar relations,and
her peculiar ailments, woman has
been compelled to suffer, not only
her own ills but those arising from
the want of knowledge, or ot con
sideration on the part of those
with whom she stands connected
in the social organization. The fiv
queut and distressing irregnlari
ties peculiar to her sex liaye thus
been aggravated to adcgieo which
no language can express. In the
mansions ot the rich and the hov
el of ilie poor alike, woman has
been the patient victim of ills un
known to man, and which none
hut she could endure—and with
out a remedy Hut now ihe hour
of her redemption lias come. She
need not suffer longer, when she
can find relict in Dr. J. Biadfiefd’s
Female Itegulator, “Woman’s Best
Friend.”

watched tlie use of the medicine
now known of “Swift’s Syphilitic
Specific” over fifty years, ami have
never heard of a failure to cure
when properly taken. I commenc
ed the use of it on my slaves. He
tween 1850 and 1855, as also did a
number of my neighbors, and in
every case that came within my
knowledge it effected a cure. In
1835 Geo Walker, bought at auc

the purchase It was discovered
Inat lie had had Syphilis for twelve
years. His head was without a
hair on it. He treated him with
this remedy, and in four weeks lie
was s mud and well, and in a short
time had as fine a head of hair as
was ever owned hy a negro. He
owned this slave many years, and
he never had any return of the dis
ease, nor lost a day’s work.
