With Mr. E. C. Stanton he succeeded in obtaining the admission of women to educational and other conventions, ith the right to speak and vote, and to be mem-ben of committee. From 1857 to I6ud she was sn agent nnd a faithful worker in the anti-slavery cause.

Of recent years Mis Anthony hes been untiring in her efforts to secure the recognition of women in tbe gTeat national political conventions.

Tut Eeixivo St takes tom pride in calling attention to its- typographical appearance. Ar neat and genteel dress adds gmtly to the appearance of a lady or gentleman, so doe it odd to th attiao-tiveoess of a newspaper. In selecting tbe type for Ths Evzvivo Ste the publishera were not only governed by regard for beauty, but for practical utility a well. The type on which Th Evivivo Stas is printed was cast especially for this paper.

Its chief merit, aside from its beauty, con-, sists in the fact that, while it has a clear and distinct face, and is perfectly legible to all, it allows of a very large amount of reading matter belt set up in a small amount of space. The amount of reading matter contained in every issue of Ten Etbxus St a will be, notwithstanding the size of tbe paper, very rrat, and at tbe lame time all of the type used it perfectly plain and distinct.

CVJNINO STAR. Amouj tb most successful product of recent Jourualiam in th United States is tbchp afternoon newspaper. Expert-oc ha demonstrated that the greet morning journal printed in our Urge title, admirable end enterprinpg as the are. do not meet the wants of the great masse of th people. Their broad pages, filled with elaborate detail of all oems matters, with lengthy, ponderous editorials, with long pros sermons and other matter of the same class, which occupy a Urge amount of space, and demand much time for their perooei, hiU they malt these jonrnslsirrralnable to many, at the some time render them unattractive to tbs great majority of dwellers in cities.

The hour at which they are published and the price at which they are furnished, combine to deter thoumnds from Uking them, who, however, feel the need of a daily newspa, per of some kind. They have neither the (time nor the inclination to read these Urge papers, nor do they feel that they can afford to pay for them. But some kind of daily newspaper has become, in our modern civilization, a- necessity to every intelligent person, wbo desire to keep posted as to the current events of fit day with the minimum expenditure of time and money. To meet this want toe cheap afternoon journal was devisad, and the qualified success which all wpU managed enterprises of this dam have Achieved, whenever they have had a proper field, proves beyond cavil the existence of a demand for thr- In almost every city and Urge town country cheap afternoon are printed, which enjoy very large circaUUr and prontamo advertising patronage. hew York, Boston, Baltimore, rhiUdelph.a, Pitts, burgh, Rochester, LOnAgo, Cincinnati, St.

Louis. Detroit, Indian-apolia, Cleveland. Toledo, Peoria, Minneapolis, Son Francisoo, and many other American citie. which aight.be named, contain able, prosperous journals Of this class. The newspapers OfTEts type are small in bnt present in a condensed form the oewt of the day.

The padding" to wich bulky and unwieldy newspapers are compelled to resort to fill up," it entirely unnecessary in these papers. The reader is not compelled to wade through columns of surplusage in order to get at a kernel of news, and the writers are not obliged to cover reams of white paper with words, in conveying a few ideas, which might better be stated in one-quarter of tbe space. Everything is told in terse, concise, direct language. There is no occasion for or temptation to vcrboseocaa exaggeration or surplusage of nay kind. Tbe price at which such a newspaper can be (applied places it within the reach of every one, and tbe hour of its jniblkfttioa makhndt especially desirable to that very large aomber who must postpone their newspaper reading until they hare completed their dky'a Ubor.

Given a proper field, and a cheap afternoon newspaper founded on substantia basis, is absolutely certain to succeed I it bas good management. The publishers of Ths Evxxiso Ste, after a careful survey of tbe country, came to the conclusion that Kansas City offers as inviting a field for an enterpnse of this character as any city in the United State. At the present time Kansas City is large enough and partakes sufiScaeetiy of a mctropolitAO character, to reader afire-clue, cheap afterwmo newspaper to abaca lute necessity. In addition, however, it is the eoihinercia! center of the great M. sonri valley, and no city In the country retains within or otter brighter prospects for the future.

Jvo city in tbe land is growing more rapidly, or attracting more attention in all quarters. It is universally conceded that Kansas City, in a very few years, will bt one of tbe largest and mpst important cities in America, lluvicg entire confidence in tbe future of this city. Ths Evsmxo St a enters the field, without a doubt ih the minds of the proprietors that it will achieve unqualified success, and in a very short time become one of recognised institution of Kansas City. Ths enterprise Is eetnblhcd ou a firm baj, and will be to conducted as merit the approval end patronage of tbe people of the rity and surrounding country, At the publisher! prefir to let Tss ErtHiso Stb tpeak for itself. It is due, howerer, to ihod who desire to know something of the character and purpose of a newspaper which wli tbor support' to state thst Ttn Etta-iso STS absolutely inde- gopdest to aiming to.

and the cage, with ten men upon it, had started for tbe surface when the cstde broke, proripitating them the shaft some 300 feet. Fourteen hundred feet of rope pilled upon them. Tbe following are tbe lames of those kill. "I John Roach, Patrick Murphy, Dick Thomas Meagher, Mat Winnie, J.wph Haonaitan, William Corbett, George rarnham and Jerry Sullivan. Most of the bodies ars terribly mangled; the men were taken out at 4 a.

tn. Roach ta.ked rationally when found, but died when coating up the shaft. Frank Smith, ths only man saved, is resting easily, ha no external injuries. Tb cable broke at tbe reel, and for soma reason the safeties did not catch. Tbe cable wu of the best English make, four and by one-half inch, and ia use only three months.

The nft ws in charge of Ryder, pumpman, and the pump shift wu changing at same time with the other shift. Ryder til on under tbe cage, on which was found an ax with th helve broken eight Inches from the poll. The only explanation of tbe accident is that this ox hoodie caught the timber, canting tbe strain which broke the cable.

The philosophers bav no in mate. In dealing with human natur they are obliged to step on everybody.

It ir. better to studdy one book than to read menny. If there it no hereafter, reaaon a fraud, and instinkt a failure. Tbe bottom round ov tlie ladder, if it iz well filled, iz just as honorable ax the top out, and iz a heap safer. He who is allwusa sticking his nose into fnturity, must not be surprised if faa snubbed often.

No one luvs a traitor, least ov all those who profit by the treason. To work ix the greatest ov blessings.

Tbs coicomb, dandy and fcp are one and tkc same thing, and about tbe only thing you kan say ov them is that they are gt tbe maskulin gender. Thots who hav the most pride are the first to diskover pride in others. If we should enable the prayers we offer op to hraven, we would find that vanity, and self interest predominates in them. Habits are good, bad and indifferent, and in most men the indifferent iz the most plenty. A Batch of Truisms The world is a masked hall.

When pride begins, love ends. Love makes time pass and time makes )o pass. La is Sometime the kuell of a d-ad hope. Every man has in hi heart slumbering hog. Tbe alstird mao is the man who never changes.

Men arc the women's playthings, women are tbe deTil's. Ood created the coquette as toon as lie had man the fool. A year in the lift of a can is sometimea a severe lesson. Better to have never loved than to have loved unhappiiy. The more honest a man is tbe lew he affects the air of a saint.

In most men there is a dead poet whom the man survives. Experience is tbe name men give to their foUiea, or their sorrow Tbe aliaiomeot of our greatest desire is often the source of our greatest sorrow. Women give themselves to God when the devil mil have nothing more to do with them. It does not take twenty years for men change their opinions of things width (v-emrd to them tbe truest and most certain ben women love us they forgive us everything even our crime when they do not lore us they giv us credit for nothing, not even our virtue. -THE MIRACLE SEASON ftfondarf u) Curaa Pirfniwcd at tbs Grotto of LaunUc York Herald.)
