EIGHTH PAGE-The Boston Firo ' [Continued from Firstl. Miscellaneons Telegraphic News. The Ehivge Tribusne, “Wednesday Morning, November 13, 1873. The Young Men's Christian Associztion pledged ten thousand dollars, last night, for the Boston suflerers, and the Masons of Chicago raised five thonsand dollars at their meeting in Masonic Hall, for the rclief of the craft in Boston. The forthcoming report of the Internal Rev- enue Bureau will how an increase in the taxes collected this year on spirits, tobacco, and malt liquors over the receipts last year, The income tex yields nearly four millions less than in 1871. Our streets yesterday were lively 2gain with trafic and fravel. The Chicago City Railway Company and =ll the stage lines are in operation. So long as fair weather lasts, there is no danger, Sunitary Supcrintendent Rauch thinks, in the careful use of horses. 1t is rather strange but gratifsing to find Chi- cago cited as an example for London enterprise. Yet the Pall Mall Gazetle, in arecent article commenting npon Chicago's new growth, says: **1t is impossible to read the accountsof the progress already made in rebuilding Chicago without lamenting the want of energy displayed in London.” Russia persists in her Asintic invasions, but this time bier route has been in the peaceful clanrels of trade, aad her conquests are com- mercial treaties with the three chief Statesof Centrsl Asia. DBut intimations are given by the official journal of the Czar, that tho troubles with Khiva, which lies in the petirto India, are not yet to be considered setiled. No appropriation can be lawfully made, in the opinion of their legal adviser, by tho County Commissioners for the relicf of Boston. They have surmounted this dificuliy by »request to the Relief and Aid Society to send Boston £350,000 in belalf of Cook County. In retem, they promise to extend assietance to that emount to the beneficiarics of the Society during the winter. 1t will be remembered that Theodors Thomas was to have commenced & season of his orches- tezl concerts on the second night of the Chicago Dy a curious coincidence, he was also to commenced a season in Boston on the sec- cad night of its fire. If this kind of thing keeps ox much longer, insurence companies will be t0 increase their charges in cities which this ucendisry musician is advertised to visit. omen of IWyoming vote at every zicetion in that Territory, and that Miss An- tiony, with thirteen other women, voted the day ot Rochester, are facts which secmed akers ot the meeting, held in this city vestexdsy, of the Dxceutive Committee of the Women's Suffrage Association of this State, to warrant an attempt to persuade the Legislature 10 obliterate the word “male” from the Consti- tution. A meeting is to be held here soon, at which Mrs. Stanton and Aiss Emily Faithfall, who is now in town, will speak. Lo the s; The horse disease, which is happily disap- pearing among us under the genial influence of our incomparable weather, was responsible for a considerable proportion of the losges sus- tained in the Boston fire. To begin with, its prevalence there had rendered it impossible to move the goods which had been-sold. In a sin- gle instance, £100,000 of goods were burned shich had already been sold, end which would havebeen sent away had not the horses been Jicabled. When the fire came, the lack of horses formed a serious obstacle in the way of the Fire Department, and it wes also impossible to move ‘off valuable stocks of goods that might otherwise have been saved. Misforfunes zeldom come singly. The Evening Journal szys that ¢ Chief Justice Lawrence has shown himself to bo an audacions, arbitrary, and infemous tyrant, and a manwhose ideas are totally at variance with the spirit of our free institutions, and 2 person in no wise fit to be intrusted with the power of an official of bis present high position.” We rather like pluck in a newspaper, and we arc more gratified at its exhibition in this instance, as it is the first time in several years that the Journal has ghown any. But we think that the epithets which it applies to Judge Lawrence aro calealat- ed to nentralize rather than to awaken sympa- thy for itsclf. Instead of railing at the Court, the Journal should nrge the State Legiclature to amend the lawof contempts, and bring it into conformity with the law of the United States in that behalf, —_— The same reasons which prompted the Mayor to recommend to the Common Council new and increased protection against the outbreak of fires, should influenco all housekeepers and house-owners to take greater individual precau- tion than they are in the habit of exercising. As in the time of prevailing burglaries men are ‘more apt to see their houses securely locked, so in this era of prevailing fires every one should evioip more than ordinary care upon all who have charge of residences or who are employed a8 private watchmen for business edifices. The lesson which these latter-day fires teach is, that every man has an interest in every building that is erected, and all should work to the common purpose of preventing fire, rather than that of extinguishing it after it has started. —_— While the Chicago subscription of $150,000 ‘was a prompt and appropriaie expression of the sympathy and gratitudo which Chicago enter- tains for Boston, it should bo remembered that the Boston fire has furnished no parallel to that of Chicago in the suffering of tho poor and homeless. It would be a high estimate to say that 10,000 had been thrown out of em- ployment by the Boston fire. These must bo carcd for; but thero aro mot 60,000 or 75,000 peoplo thrown out of omploy- ment and sheltor at tho same timo, as among us. For thoe largo class of Chicago people who have been unable to recover and who are still needy, relief will be as necossary this second winter, and oven during the third winter, as it was im- mediately after tho fire. It was for this reason, we presumo, that the Chicago Relief and Aid Society limited their donation to $100,000. The horse distemper is progressing. It Las roached Milwaukee on the north, and Aurors, Morris, Ottawa, and LaSalle in this State. It will probably pass through the wholo State, especially tho cities aud large towns where ‘horses are kept in numbers. 1t has attacked the horses belonging to the towing companies on the Illinois & Michigan Canel. After having seriouely interrupted business in this city for two weeks, it is ubout disappearing. Thero was no help for it, and our peoplo Lad to bear the affliction with such paticuco as they could com- mand. Now that it has attacked the horses in the interior of the State, tho eflccts in suspend- ing business thero will be felt here, perhaps, for ton days longer. An interruption to transporta- tion in the citics, towns, villages, and farms of the Northwest must be a loss to the trafiic of Chicago; but, as was tho case when tho afflic- tion was upon us, there is no remedy other than to endure, 2nd wait until the malady has run its course. It is gratifying to learn that Secrctary Bout- well is in nohaste toadd a pail of waler to the ‘barrel of sugar which constitutes the currency of the United States. Wo are assured that ho will not do this until it becomes necessary. The tenor of the Washington despatches rendered into good English is sometbing like this: The Government will not depreciate the currency till it onght to be depreciated. It has no prop- erty to throw into the gap made by the Boston fire, but it has somo of tha finest soap bulbles inthe world. If there should be a scramble for the property not destroed by the Boston fire, it will set some of thego bubbles going ; and, prob- ably in choosing them, the public will forget the fire and recover their senses.” It is to be re- ‘marked that the public, and especially the Bos- ton public, have shown an uncommon degree of sclf-possession in the presence of this calamity. They have not lost their scnses, and are in no danger of losing them. . Miss Emily Faithfull who delivered herlecture on “The Toiling English Masses” at the Union Park Congregational Church, on last evening, and who is expected to lecturo again in Chicago on the 16th inst., is a lady who has won a claim to the public hearing through her public works. She has been not only an earncst advocate, but an active worker in the cause of opening new ficlds for female cmployment. Of good family, and favored with an excellent education, sho entered upon the gayest of London life, but soon deserted its superficialities for s sphere more serious and better suited to her own inde- Peadence of character. In 1860, she fonnded a typogzaphical institute for women, which suc- ceeded 56 well that sho was appointed printer and publisher in ordivary to the Queen. In 1863, she commenced the publication of the Vicloria Magazine, which she still edits and controls in the interests of working women, advocating their claims to more remunerative employment. She entered the lecture field some four yeurs since, and has attained a marked success. Her reception in this country has everywhere shown the most cordial appreciation of her merits. The St. Louis Globe, in summing up the ef- fects of the Boston fire, says: ‘¢ The interrup- tion to business in Chicago will be more serious than year ago ; the failures will be more nu- merous. The whole country will suffer ; Chicago will be ruined.” This is & comprehensive state- ment of the case, which does vastly more credit totherhetorical perspicuity of the Globethan toits discernment or judgment. We have no doubt that these sad words are written in sorrow, and therefore hasten to assure the Globe and its editors, who ovidently need the informa~ tion more than its readers, that Chi- cago will not be ruined on account of the Bos- ton fire. A city which could subseribe so large a sum the morning after the reception of tho news of the Boston fire does not stand inimminent danger of financial annihilation. St. Louis would rejoice at this, for,with the destruction of Chicago, which the Globe thus confidently pre- dicts, the Btable topic of St. Louis newspaper comment would be withdrawn ; and the incen- tive to enterprise which St. Louis merchants have found in Chicago's success would be taken away, and might materially damage the prospects of a city that are otherwise good. The Chicago produce markets were less aclive vesterdzy, with o steadier feeling in breedstuffs, and greater firmness in several depariments. Aess pork was dull and nominal at $15.00 for old; $13.50@13.75 for new; and £12.40 for do seller December or seller March. Lard was steady at 72@7%c cash or seller December, and 73{@7%c seller March. Meats were in some de- mand, but rather weak, at 4c for shoulders, 7c for ghort ribs, and 8c for ghort clear, all part salted. Highwines were quiet, but firm, at 90c per gal- lon. Lake freights were dull and steady, at 9c for corn and 10¢ for wheat to Buffalo. Flour was dull and unchanged. Wheat was less active, but firm at the outside quotations of Monday, clos- ing at §1.02% cash or eeller the month, and $1.08% seller December. Corn was active and e bigher, closing at 32 seller the month, aad 313%c seller December. Oats were strong, and advanced 14@3{c, closing at 21c seller the month, end 22}/c geller Decomber. Ryewas quict, but o shade firmer, at 51@52. Barley was dull end Iclower, closing at 53@358%4c for No. 2, and 48c for No.3. The hog market was fairly active but lower, the declin reaching 15@20c. The closing rates were S4.00@4.30. There was more activity in the cattle trade, and prices advanced 25@50c per 100 Ibs. i:Sheep ruled quict and easy, at $3.25@5.25. Thestocks of grain in store in this city, on Saturday even- ing last, were 658,549 bu wheat, 1,180,697 bu corn, 819,421 bu oats, 143,875 bu rye, and 340,185 ‘bu barley. CONSOLATIONS FOR BOSTON. In drawing parallel between the Boston and Chicago fires, there are many points in which the two possess a remarkable similarity. At the gamo timo {here aro many which are exactly opposite. As far as the Boston fire is related simply to itself, the people of that city have good grounds to doplora the loss of their proper- ty, and the time which must necessarily be con- sumed in replacing it. As far, however, as the fire is related to tho Chicago dissster, the par- sllel affords the Dostonians good grounds for congratulation. In the first place, they have not the mortifying reflection tbat their fire was occasioned by the incendiary vagaries of Mrs. O'Leary's cow. The origin of their fire was as aristocratic, dignified, and high-toned as the most conservative and gilt-edged old millionairo on Beacon street could have desired. Thers was nothing plebefan in it, nothing which could of- fond tho conventionel scruples of any one, from Bunker Hill to Forest Hill. It broke out in a delightfully mysterious way, in one of the stateliost granite-piles of ono of the state- liest thoroughfares of the city,—a stroet which relires from publicity at au early hour, aud is thonceforwerd, through the night, eilent, frigid, and reserved. All this was in keeping with the characteristics of Bos- ton, and the Bostonian can look back to this with @ certain degree of consolation and pride. The origin bears a definito relation to the result, 2ud does not belittle it. Ilow differently are we placed! We can only look back, with averted Lieads, to a festival evening at Mrs, O'Leary's ; to the cousins from Ireland just arrived; the blind fiddler ; and tho frequent passago of the poteen from hand to kand ; and, to the accom- paniment of such a sceno 28 this, our fire began. In s cow-shed surronnded by cow-sheds, in an alley full of manure, and shavings, and old bar- rels, and cast-off hoopskirts, and oyster cans, surrounded by other alloys filled with The szmo materials, our plebeian blaze hurried on, over tumble-down sheds and rickety barns and whis- key-shopa, not attaining a high esthetic degree of refinement until it was a milo away. The Bostonians, again, bavo a cause for con- gratulation in that their fire began in tho calm stillness of an Indian summer’s evening., There was 1o fuss and nonsense about it. They had not been without rain for two months. They had not had a furious southwester bLlowing for weeks, drying up everylhing to tinder. There was no unearthly disturbance of the atmosphere, no strango com- binations of the elements, no tornadoes plunging through the air, no supernatural elac- trical vagaries,'no conspiracy upon the part of the allied forces of earth, air, and water, to thwart the efforts of man. The Boston fire was a stunning blow, but it was a good, honest blow, gren without taking unfair advantage. The Chicago fire not only struck us fall in tho face, ‘but itknocked us down and stamped upon us, and dragged us about, took all wo had in our pockets, and left us for dead. Tho Bostonians have still another cause for congratulation. ‘While we were in this miserable condition, and trying to get on our feet again, cortain clergy- men came alorg and told us that it was a visita- tion of Divino wrath upon us for our sins; that we were a sct of miserable devils, and, therefore, virtually, that it served us right. No one, who hasnot becnin the same plight, can tell the blessed consolation there was in these comfort- ing assurances. In one night we found our- selves without houses to live in, without offices in whichto do business, without a cent of money in our pockets, without banks, hotels, and churches, without water to drink, without gas to illaminate, without anything in the world but theclothes on our backs, and those very dirty, 2and then came along the clergymen and added to our load of misery by insisting that we would not bave been punished this way if we had not been such abemineble sincers, and cited Bodom and Gomorrah by way of cllnching their argument, Boston has not this additional bur- den to bear. The text for Boston is not “Tho wicked shall be destroyed,” but “Whom the Lord loveth, He chastenath.” They, thorefore, are not obliged to discount their recuperative energy by mournfal reflections that, if they had ‘been better, they might not have been pun- ished. Boston has also sincere cause for congratula~ tion that it had no great area of wooden build- ings, in the firat instance, to supply the fuel for an intense heaf, and that, after the fire had “reached moro solid parts of the city, clumps of wooden buildings were not advantageously scat- tered among the brick and stone structures, so astoaddto the volume and intensity of the flames; that it had no tarred roofs, to carry the fire from house-top to house-top; that it had no petroleum stone to explode, and scatter liquid fire in every direction, as was satisfactorily shown by the savans to have happened in our case; that its people did not haveto sleep in grave-yards and on the prairie; that they did not have to drink Chicago River water; that they did mnot have to do patrol duty, with club in hand, night after night, and for two weeks watch the Iurid glare of the burning conl heaps; that they had no wooden streets, and sidewalks, and bridges to burn; that they could all go to church Sunday if they wished, and hear the Gospel; that they could &ll go to the theatre Monday night if they wished, and forget their sorrows; finally, that it was only one spoke in their Hub that was con- sumed. As an elder brother in misfortune, we offer these sources of consolation to Boston. e have both had the same disenée, but Boston has had it in the varioloid form. We are scarred all over. We had thereal thing, and our spiritual physicians have told us why. We are therefore qualified to offer advice without seeming to be officious. Boston has only to keep up s good heart, take good care of herself, and not expose Lerself unnecessarily, and she will be out in & few days a8 good as ever, and may flatter herselt that, having had it once, she has a reasonable chance of escaping a second attack. STEEET CARS BY STEAM. The prevalenco of the horse discase camsed two of our city car companies to substitute steam * dummies” for horses, with results that, if not completely satisfactory at present, yet promisé an important revolution in city locomo- tion in the future. The South Side Company attached four or five heavily-laden cars ‘to & “dummy,” and made the trips between Ran- dolph street and Twenty-second street in about ‘Thalf an hour, a8 often as the two ** dummies " at their disposal could make them. The rate of motion is considerably faster than that made by ‘horses, but subject to some drawback owing to the frequency with which the * dummy " gets off the track. The North Side Company, Wwe believe, made its trips from Graceland tothe Clark street bridgo with two dummies. Few persons can witness these trains of passen- gers gliding smoothly and rather rapidly through our streets, at an evident great saving of cost to the companies, and of wear and tear of animal life, without feeling that, soomer or Iater, this temporary mode of locomotion will be made uni- versally preferable, and will be permanent. We concede that there are inechauical and equine difficulties to be overcomo. The “dummy” en- gines now in use have not weight enough to hold the track as firmly as they need to, and the track i not well adapted to thoir wheels. Moreover, the horses who havo become educated to the locomotive, with its noise, and smoke, and pufiing, apparently see sufiicient resemblance in the. railway-engive to them- selves to understand it. But they do not yet comprehend the dummy. The very effort which has been mede to conceal the source of motion 2nd to consumo tho steam and smoke render tho invention all the more mysterious to its equine brother, whom it suporsedes. Whethor horses would ot becomo accustomed to the dummy in time, if they should sce it as often as the locomotivs, may be doubted by some, but the weight of veterinarian counsels is against it. All those difficulties, however, are those of do- tail. They can be overcome if it is onco estab- lished that passenger cars can be drawn through cities moro economically, safely, swiftly, cheaply, and conveniently by steam than by horse-power. Of the economy of the use of steam there can bo no doubt. The dummy re- quires no carding down ; it feeds iteelf while on 1its journey ; it involves no expenso when not at work ; it almost never wears out; when broken it can bo monded; it is never sick, and it can be fed on coal, which is infinitely cheaper than hay, onts, bran-mash, and condition powders. The dQummy tekes its five or six cars at a time, ac- cording to tie demand, and, getting them quickly out of the way, relieves the streets, where the drawing of on equal num- ber of cars by horses would block them up. It was objected to the strect cars, on their introduction, that they wonld block up and obstruct the strects, whereas tho result proved that, by conveying more passen- gers in less space, they relisved them. So it 18 now objected to the dummy system ihat it ob- struets the streets; but, in fact, whatever sys- tem of transitconveys the greatest number of passengers most rapidly and at least expense, affords greatest relief to all our thoroughfares. As to constructing a dummy that will hold the' track, or a track that will hold the dummy, we cannot think of these details as very difficult smong a people who daily ride behind locome- tives at the rate of a mile in a minute and a half without a thought of getting off the track. The only serious objection is the tendency of tho dummy to scare the horses, and this, wo doubt not, will be found to disappear as the Lorges get over their scaro. With proper tracks and dummies, wo believe a rate of motion two or threo times as great as our present horse- car rato would be feasible, thousands of horaes would be saved to other and humaner uses, and the cost of fares would in time be diminished one-half, firat to the companies, but ultimately to the public. 1t appears that, while there has been a ten- dency in Chicago to complain of the exerciee of tho rights that belong to tho bLigher Courts in criminal cases, tho Londoners are exercised over the tyranny of their lower Courts in refusing to graot appeals against the verdicts which they mete out to criminals. A writer in the London Times defines one caso of particular bardship, in which the Azgociate Justices had convicted themselves of ignorance of tho law, and yet, upon application for appeal, decided that they were right, and refused o allow the action to go to the Court of Criminal Appeal, —_—— A LUCKY MAN, The Congregation of Centenary Methodist Church Present Dr. Fowler with an S800 Library. The monthly social of the Centenary Metho- dist Episcopel Church (Dr. Fowler's), last even- ing, was made the occasion of a most pleasing ceremony. To evidence their appreciation for Dr. Fowler, and as emblematic of their re- gard for him as a pastor and gentleman, his con- gregation, with many outside friends, yesterday evening presented him, through the Rev. W. O, Deandy, Presiding Elder of the Chicago District, with 2 splendid library, costing $800. Dr. Fowler on last Sabbath announced the so- cial, a8 usual, and said that it was the last time he would meet them all in social communion as ast or, little suspecting that the social had been ong held in pmigecb Dy his loving people as an occasion when they would be able to testify their affection for him. The church parlors were filled at an early hour, and the social went on as msual. It was evi- dently not in the Reverend Doctor's mind that, before the close of the ovening, ho would be the recipient of g0 costly & present. Agouh 9 o’clock theRev. W. C.Dandy ascended the rostram, and, removing some spreads from & number of tables which were ranged around, dieplayed a collection of new and elegant books, among _which were the following: Dotley's works, Robinson's works, March on the English Langusge, Froude's works, Bryant’s Iliad of Homer, with many other most valuable publica- tions. The presentation speech was very happy, and the reply was neat, racy, and pathéiic. By the resignation of Dr. Fowler, the City of Chicago is deprived of o man whose rare ability and cuiture have dope it great honor. It is mot often that an educational institution is so fortunate as to_securs for its head o gentleman 6o grest, alike a8 a preacher and scholar, 2s Dr. Fowler. After tho presentation of the library, Mrs. Fowler was called forward and presented with an_envelope containing & Landsome sum of money. The Doctor -replied, in & humorous style, for his worthy lady. 5 It 15 seldom that the soparation of pastor and people carries with it 8o much of good feeling as the separation of Dr. Fowler from the Cen- tenary Methodist Church.

The second greatauction sale of beautifal grove and prairie lots located at that most charming suburb, Washington Heights, will take place on the grounds C. C. Thayer & Co. are the auctioncers, To accommo- date those who desire to attend tho sale, a special free train will leave the depot of the Rock Island & Pacific Railroad, corner of Sherman and Harrison streets, at 10 o'clock a, m. We are satisfied that, in point of attrac- tions and acceseibility, this delightful suburb cannot o surpassed. See advertisement of theauctioncers on first page for particulars, —_— Imperial Fire Insurance Company of Lon- don. The latest advices are that the losses of the Imperisl by the Boston fire are only about $300,000, As this sum i3 less than 5 Fer cent of its svailable assets, it is really but o very emall loss when measured by the strength of the Company, Great caution in the selec- | tion and distribution of its risks has always been characteristic of the Company, and to this causealone must be attributed its comparatively trifiing loss by the Boston fire. Mansard roofs have mever been 81 attraction for this Company. Postponement. The opening of Anderson’s European Hotel and Restsurunt (advertised for this day) will, in conse- quence of tho recent dificulty in obtaining transpor- tation, etc., be postponed until to-morrow, Thursday, tho 14ih inét, Doty’s billiard hall will also be ovened at tho same date, Sl e — AID FOR BOSTON. Mass Meeting of the Masonic Fra- ternity of Chicago, They Resolve to Contribute the Sum of $5,000 for the Relief the Craft of Bostgn, They Resolve to Contribute the Sum of $5,0C0 for the Relief of the Craft of Boston. Other Efforts by Our Citizens to Rlelieve the Bostoa Sufferers. A mass meeting of MMasons was held at the Masonic Temple, corner of Randolph and Hal- sted streets, last evening, to take action for the relief of the Craft in Doston. The attendance was very large. DeWitt C. Cregier was called to the chair, and Brother Barnard elected Secre- tary. The Chairmen said the present was a time which tricd the hearts of Masons. A little more than & year ago many of the Craft in this city were sufferers by the gre:stest firo known to history. Many of them Weio beggars without homes, their dwellings and places of business having been destroyed. Dut it was but a few hours before the glad tidmgs came from all over the world that succor was at hend, and that aid would be sent immediately. He would not dwell upon how much was sent—how much from Massachusetts—from Boston, which had just passed throngh 2 similar ordeal. As Ma- 8ons, they should consider what should be done for the relief of their brethren in that city— what way they could best reciprocate their be- nevoleuce, their Christian charity, their un- bounded gifts of money and supplies. It might bo that there was o vast differcnce betvreen the suffering here and there; but they did 0ot know what may be the distress in Boston, and .t stood them in band to make sqme movement toward reciprocating their goodnéss. Tho craftsinen of Masenchusotts sent to those in the city of Chicago $7,000, and ho hoped they would tele- graph to Doston that there was money here ready for their sufferers. He had sent the sub- joiued despateh, but had received no answors: . D. Nickerson, Grand Master, care Charles H. Titus, Grand Secretary, Masonic Tenple, Loston, Jlas, : The Masons of Chicago, dceply Seasiblo of fhei r obli- gations to the Craft of Massachusetts for promyx and generoua aid in time of distress, are anxious to do their duty towards their brethren of Boston, sufi'erers by the fire, by reciprocal action, Advise us at once, and make known your wants. Brother Gurney spoke feclingly of the terible calamity, remarking that the Craft bad an o ppor- tunity to exemplify what Masonry was, an.i ex- pressing himself a8 confident that a generoi2s re- 8ponse would be made. Members of tho differont lodges prusent pledged their lodges for different amounts, and the Chairman was authorized to request the Grand Master of Rhode Island, who bas in: his bands$2,370, which was collected for Chicago, to forward the money to Boston on account of this city. On motion, the Most Worshipful Grand Mag- ter of the Grand Lodge of Illinois wasrequested to issue an order to the Grand Treasurer to con- tribute 1,000 to the Boston Relief fund. A resolution requesting the Masonic Board of Relief of this city toadvance $1,500 for the same purgose, was adopted.

Miss Emily Faithfull, the eminant English phi- Ianthropist, lectured last evening, in the Union Park Congregational Church, under the auspices of the Star Lecture Course, her subject being | #The Toiling Masses.” The auditorium was com- pletely filled with o large and fashionable andi- ence, who listened with the closest attention to the lecture, frequently applauding the speaker. After two fine organ solos, the over~ tures to ‘William Tell” and the “poot and Peasant,” by Louis Falk Miss Faithfull made her appearance upon the rostrum, and opened her leciure by alluding to 5 matter which weighed upon every mind,—the ‘burning of Boston,—saying that no heart in the andience beat more deeply for the etricken city than her own. There was & time, she said, when English women could not be designated as ““The Toiling Magses,” but no one familiar with the subject | would deny that they should now be so classed. 1In 1851, the census showed that the number of women dependent upon their own resources, in England, was 2,000,000; in 1861, 2,500,000, while in 1871 & still larger increase was shown. The of Boston. || Mr. W. F. Tacker was mado Chairman, George | | ‘Speuiding & Co., was & misplaced sentiment, standing in the way of better services in their be].\n;f. Machinery had effected s complete change in the existence’ of women, Outof whose hands had Leen taken many fields' of exortion, thereby thrusting upon them more arduous modes of subsistence. Destitution to women wasa far more terrible thing than to men. for there wara depths to which men could not fall. Thaaks to the noble exertions of Lord Shaftesbury, women wero spared the occupation of working in the coal-mines, though in Staffor'debire the women were employed in turning tlwo clayto be coo- yerted 10to porcelain. In Liverpool they carry loads of sand for sixpence z day. In thelast census over 43,000 women were _returned as out-door agricultural laborers. It seemed to be taken for granted thatvwoman's physical strength conld be drawn upon ad’ libitum, 50 long 18 we carefully avoided givingencouragement 0 theirminds. The root of the whole mischief lay in the fact thatwomen were never apprenticed to skilled work, and hence it was that women could not do skilled work. Shewas not speakirg of ‘wives and mothers, whose proper place andoubt- edly was at home. ' What was wanted was a re- adjustment of our gocial machinery. To sit down, content with the present stata of things in England, was little short of inhumanity. It has become & stock phrage that the occupationg of ‘our grandmothers are dsing out, and tho degeneracy of the age in this Tegard was continually alluded to. In addition 10 the encroachments of science upon the house- hold dutica of women, emigraticn helped to affect their condition by carrying from the country the energetic young men, leaving at home a surplus of women. Tew people are aware of tho extent of the ‘material destitution of women in England, Uo- less an uneducated woman has n natural gift, she can barely earn her daily bread. There bas arisen & new order of ladyhood, whose chief dis- tinction consists in having nothing to do, and 2 contempt for work as u degradation is st the Toot of the ideas of a modern. young lady, so far a8 her ideas ever have any root, which 18 rarely the cage. Women have 80 long been allowed to believe that work is derogatory to the standing of & lady, that it will take years to impress them with the notion, not only that work is honorable to man, but that idloness is & diegrace to women. [Applause.] A novel writer had expressed the belief that many women die of consumption growing out of dis- content. A remedy may be looked for by giving them a larger liberty of choice, and a more com- plete recognition and development of their -in- tellectual und spiritual natures. 1t is now the custom in England for writers {0 lay strees npon the decadence of womanhood, but if the men could be brought to a candid revelation of their theories and practices of life, it would appear Lhat they were not wholly free from responsi~ ‘Dbility for the evils complained of. ¥ Half & century ago, Sidoey Smith said that “men have g0 often told women ihat ihey were fools, that women heve begun to tako them at their word.” Now, we are doubt- less on the ove of a great educational reform. Young ladies aro no longer to be dipped in & solution of accomplishmente—a process which lenves on them 2 thin varnish which will not. stand the test of time. We are beginning to acknowledge that we must train woman as God's creaturo rather than ag man's subordinate. Wea ay question whetber the education of boys and girls should be identical, but we must, at Jeast, agres that the girls had better graduate in the school of science than in the school for scandal. Woman's czuse is man’s cause. They riso or sink together, dwarfed or Godlike, bond orfrec. [Applause.] It was idle tocompare man and woman, for the theories were not tenable. We know that women have & placo in the world, while in the home circle man i8 by nomeans a cypher. God has a dis- tinct plan and purpose for every individual man and woman, which education and association must develop. It i8 a significant fact that in England women have been invited to share in_the latest and greateat educational movement which has taken laco there. America is far in advance of Eng- and_in regard to her care for toiling musses, thanks to the moble efforts of such women as Lucretia Mott, Mrs. Stone, and Mrs. Stanton. A entleman said he wondered how men could eep their countenances as they stood at the marriage altar, for while they wero saying * with 2l my wordly goods I thes endow,” they very well knew that they should keep all that they 2ad, and get all she had. [Applause.] Jhe arguments that women cannot do bie and that are mere shams, when in the face of the fact that two millions of Eng- Jisk women are performing the hardest, cruelest of lasbor. No one will deny that marriage is the crown and completion of the life of man _and ‘women, butit must be what God meant it—a marriage of love and not of interest. Tt is gaid that in England one out of every thirteen working women passes from destitution to dishonor. It is claimed that this new move- ment for the benefit of English workwomen is not & religions movement. ~Then it ought to be made such. 1t was the daty of every man and woman to do something to help on this work, doing what is within his or her power to do. “Eiforts are being put forth to induce the man- agers of the Star Course to have Miss Faithfull favor their patrons on the South Side with a lec- ture, and from the success and satisfaction which attended her appearance last_evening, it is earnaestly to be hoped that the effort will suc- ceed.
