Some Peculiarities About That Fine

Piesidcnt Taylor was probably
the only President to whotn the
presidency was an uncoveted and
unsought lor boon. Mrs. Taylor
was so averse to public life that it
was said she prayed every night
during his candidacy for his de

said: "Why could they not let us

A fine sample of wifely obedience
surely would be the loud-mouthed
female demagogno marching boldly
to the polls lectioneering and vot
ing, possibly against her husband's
interests and feelings. There is no
telling the discord, the contusions
and troubles which would arise
from female suffrage in the family
circle and elsewhere, and instead
of being helpmate to her husband
he wife would degeuerate into a
creature who would prove the bane
of his existence. As? for our part,
we think the dear creatures were
made lor a higuer, holier purpose
thyn voting and politics. Woman
is not physically qualified for many
of the positions there would-be re

ot the most diabolical deeds ever
committed in this county was per-

of Mr. Robert Padgett. Ho was

they pursue it with an earnestness
which would wiu them success iu
any oilier line of aetiVity. Their
conception of politics is, however,
with all of their talk and study a
very narrow one. How to beat the

With them ollice is the end, not the
