The Sixteenth Amendment Conven. tion. After our report closed yesterday afternoon Mrs. M. A. S. Carey concluded her speech, and was followed by Mrs. Dr. Davis, of Virgima; Jirs. Lawrence, of Massachusetts, and Mrs. Dr. Winslow, in five minute speeches. Mrs. Loekwood said the time had come when women were ready for open rebellion, and the: would stop short of nothing but unconditional surrender. Referring to the refusal of the court to appoint Mrs. Dundore a constable she said that the constables generally dis- tting drunk on other graced themselves br people's money. and she did not think that rs. Dundore could have done worse than some of the present officers. Marshal Douglas fter which the commit- ; made some remarks, tee on the Paris exposition was announced as follows:—Belva A. Lockweod, Matilda Joslyn Gage, Dr. Mary Thompson, Marilla M. Ricker, and Elizabeth Boynton Harbert. AT THE EVENING SESSION. - Elizabeth Boynton Harbert, of Chicago, was iutroduced by the president, and made an effective address. She said that the experi- ment of woman rulers is not new; fcom the | time of Deborah to the present, women had ruled and ruled well, and notwichstanding this they are deprived of the right to vote. Woman to-day was the peer of man, and the mother instinct is wanted at the head of the overnment. She would appealto the men to generous and divide with the girls. Women she admitted kuew little of mathematics, and it cannet be expected that they should know the proportions of a silver dollar, (for those pieces have always been zealously guarded by the males.) and yet in some of the debt laden churches they cry aloud, “Dear sisters, come over and help us.” In conelusion, she quoted from a letter from John Adams to his wife Abigail, the first woman’s rights woman of the country, as evidence that wise men a perored the enlargement of woman's sphere of useful- ness. WOMAN IN THE BIBLE. Matilda Joeelyn Gage followed, noticing how woman had for centuries been deprived of ights: how even to-day in Europe she is “arry the hod, and work in the plow le of a cow, and they were publicly whipped in England as late as I8i7._ I ferred tothe question lately before P byterian chui he See case—which was paged as to the subordination of the sex, and the Methodist church was eq) y to blame for refusing to ordain the widow Van Cott, who had brought more converts into the church yone. The Bible quoted against thei nd now, as Canon Farrar and other dignitaries of the Episcopal chureh, question the correctness of the translations as to hell and other doctrines, the women may claim that the texts quoted against them are hot cor- reet translations. THE DUTIES OF WOMEN. Devereaux Blake made the speech of Lilli the evening. She spoke without notes, and in | a clear yoice, which was heard in the remotest parts of the hall. She referred to women’s ex- istence being ignored by men as soon as they thstanding the Mth ons,” and women are are yet ignored, and tizens without the right of citizenship. enter public life, and not 2 amendment reads * certainly persons, the are The President at Chattanooga urged that the | Tights of all should be respected, and she won- dered if at the time he thought—although he has such a fine wife—that there are women existence. She regarded as among the duties of women, to pay taxes, serve on the jury, and serve the country. All know that they eould y taxes; 1 were made to pay taxes. In Wyoming, women had been sitting on juries for some years, and they have done their duty and made a great New York Tri- b ing been taken “Nature will have nd women are not fit to sit as ju. forgetting to use the same sentiment when a man on a New York ivy. died. As to serving the country, they had already done it as wellas those who put in substitiites, and many had put in substitutes.

Editor Star:—Your issue of last evening states, in the report of the proceedings of the Workingmen’s Assembly, that “ Mr. Ralsten, from the executive committee, submitted (a report upon the Labor Exchange, in whichit was stated that the committee finds the Ex- change employs from 40 to.50 men at the rate of 50 cents per day, their efforts being so far to improve private property.” The words of the report upon this point are: ‘* These men have eneraily workee aon District improvements, ut inat least one Instance in improving pri- vate property.” The whole tenor of the repor! was to the same effect. We believe the actual perations of the exchange sufticiently evil, and do not wish even to appear to state any thing savoring of untruth. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.

FINGER BILLIARD PLAY) ‘The exhil of Lin finger billiards given by Mr. F Adams last evening was exceedingiy enter. taining and wonderful. The mastery which he possesses over the movements of the balls is quite remarkable, and would hardly be lited exeept on sight. Description is im. ssible, but il may be said that he does ‘y- ng in'the shape of diffienitand unique shots with the greatest ease. His ball deseribes a curve of any description, or takes a serpentine course, touches as many cushionsas the player desires, and finally counts precisely as he an- nou n advance. Occasionaily he would make it run along the rai} at pont, cross the table and 0 2 and end by counting on the red. of-the-way corner. Three hats wy placed on a line with two balls below the fast hat. Mr. Adams made the cue ball describe the letter 5 around the middle hat, take a cushion and count on the two balls. He exhibited some one hundred fancy shots in all, concluding with the “pottle shot.” In this, two bottles are placed ple a foot apart, with a ballon each and a third ball in the opposite corner of the table. Mr. Adams makes the cue ball jump from bottle to bottle, take an English in the air and count on the third ball, thus making a double shot.—{ Hartford Courant, Jan. 5. THE Scyn’s Distance.—From a statement made recently by Richard A, Proctor, the English astronomical writer, it appears that the result of the observations ef the British Transit Expeditions has been to fix the sun's distance from the earth at 93,321,000 miles. This exceeds by nearly a million of miles New- comb’s estimate, generally accepted of late years, and by more than a million of miles Leverrier’s conclusion drawn from the plane- tary perturbations. The authors of the new timate, it seems, admit a probable error of 200,000 miles, while the British Transit Observa- tions in southern localities are yet to be con bined with those made by America, Russia, and Germany at northern stations. It is too early yet, therefore, to lay itdown in the school books and to teach children what the exact distahce of the sun is. MURDER AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—Mrs. Marian Berry, a widow lady near Durham, ) H., aged 65, was shot and instantly killed ys terday in her own house by John L.
