Let them remember that French literature has done much to corrupt American women. Unhappy Paris has corrupted the world. She is now swept from the face of the earth. France was constantlys and determined to coerce us forcibly. In that weltering mass of ruin and corruption which was Paris, what lessons lie of the utter folly and futility of mutual murder! What hearts of brothers est She had been asked to attend two important meetings as American delegate: a peace congress in Paris, and a great prison reform meeting in London. The French meeting came first. She crossed the Channel, reaching Paris in time to attend the principal stance of the congress.

ould not waste it in murder. For the tenderness of the one class is set by God to restrain the violence of the other. The New York meeting was followed by one in Boston. In the spring of 1871 the friends of peace met in the rooms of the New England Woman's Club, and formed an American Branch of the Women's International Peace Association: Julia Ward Howe, president. It took five meetings to accomplish this; the minutes of these meetings are curious and interesting. Mr. Moncure D. Con things to be like his own control over things committed to his authority.

The special faults of women are those incidental to a class that has never been allowed to work out its ideal. Must work to earn some money, but will not sacrifice greater ends to this one. Hear that the Greek mission is given to an editor in Troy, New York. Sad for Greece and for Chev, who longs so to help her. Civil liberty is that which the one cannot have without the many, or the many without the one. The liberty of the State, like its solvency, concerns and affects all its citizens. Equal sacredness of rights is its political side, equal stringency of duties its moral side. The virtue of single individuals will not give them civil liberty in a despotic state, but the only safeguard of civil liberty to all is the virtue of each i
