I am going to spend the little rem nant of my days as a lecturer on wo luau's rightb I have doubt ww that they have sonic rights that I then little dream ed of. Woman is a down-trodden race. She is without influence or po sition. I knew before, that she was the most worthy Specimen of earth's inhabitants, but I supposed men ap preciated her merits. But. how sad the mistake She lies in the midst of mankind as spirits in torment, and yet how uncomplaining ! She is long suffering but not vindictive, down trodden but not despondent, crumbed but not entirely exterminated. There is just a few of her left (Heaven be praised!). But let ithe immortal tongue of Lucy tell its own tale of woe. " The colustitution and declaration of rights declares that the just pow-• ers of government are derived from the consent of the governed." • .Are not women governed ? •Don't 'the law put its merciless hand on us and prohibit us from -volunteering to fight for our country as a drafted man? Don't it compel us to rock the cradle while the nien—the tyran nical profligate tualcs—are shoveling dirt on the hjghway? Don't it pro hibit us, 'under severe penalties, from wearing the same attire which it al lows to mule s , and for which we are as well fitted by nature as they, and far better by inclination? We have aspirations as proud and lofty as any 'race of people under heaven ; shall these be stifled We hare exalted hopes of being treasures of our own legislatures— shall these be crushed Shall we submit to having one set of laWs for us and another for theinAdeelil Our property is taxed in all things like theirs, and (as I said before) shall we be denied the privilege of working out our own road-tax?

Isn't our tongue sharper than a two-edgeß sword, and looser than the clapper in an old. cow-bell? , (Groans of an guiSh from the male part of the house, and cries of "Yes, too - true! too true!") Now, my friends, there is one pow er, one right, to which we may and must resort to secure us in our lives, our persons and our property. A ; i right whi(ffi in my opin ion inheres in all men, whether women or. children. ,I mean the right of suffrage._ What 1-rights have you, tyrants, usurpers that you are, to withhold it? While you were fighting for our country, didn't we draw your wages and in vest them ,as fast as they came ?i Didn't we save most of you the trou ble of collecting anyback pay ? (Long drawn sighs from the soldiers in all parts of the house, and cries of "Yes! yes !") Why don't you, then, give us the right of suffrage . ? Do you say it. is because we havn't killed anybody? (Swooning in different parts of the 1 audience, and cries of "No !..oh no !") ' Do you say it- would contaminate us, when Many of its have to endure your society every hour - in the d y, and some of us very late into the evening? Do you say that it would detract- from !our efficiency as wives and mothers? What folly! In all 1 probability there would be so many of 'the male sex calling to electioneer I us, that we would be more domestic:, I in-oar habits of tiecrAT.xity. -It would cultivate that social congeniality be -1 tween the sexes that is the charm of i society. The tiger and the calf would I drink froni the same bowl.. The ' lion and lamb would lie down to gether." In fact, the millenium of social and political - existence would be at hand. "Let us have peace !" It• is for your interest that you do its justice. the time may come when in the depths of your anguish you will cry out to us for help, but unless you now favor our rights, in that day you will be banished like serpents_ from our firesides, from the rostrUm and the ballot. box itself.

Our route lay through lowa to com mence with, and we passed through • some splendid towns all along our route. Next? came Missouri. In that we passed through St. Joseph (about 25,000 inhabitants) and Kan4as City (about 42,006). Next came Kansas. There we passed' through a great many interesting pints connected with, the-war,nudthrougli the prin cipal outposts of the State,•Fort Lin coln,-Fort Gibson, Fort -Scott, Fort Morgan, and many others too nu merous to mention.

The weather 'waif terrible: cold, and on the _prairied in some places the env* was two feet deep. At Baster Springs w received a military escort of one eompany of cavalry, to accompany us through the Indian territory ; for although the Indians are supposed to be peacable in - that country, it is not safe for any part) . - to•go thrmigh the heart of their country unarmed. The Indian Ter ritory is the most beautiful country I have ever seen, and I have seen a good deal. There we saw game in abundance, 130fd0,, deer elk, and wolves, any summit Uf them.

Jefferson is a little town of 7,000 inhabitants, and ;the worst rebel hole you ever heard of. Green backs are of no account here at all ; gold and silveer is the only current money in Texas. It is not recon structed yet, you know. Well, we went to camp in the pine woods, 22 _Miles from Jefferson, on the line of the preposed Memphis d. El Paso R.R. ; and there I staid in the company's store (a tent - 20130, filled with groceries, boots. shoes, and in fact everything railroaders need) until last 'Wednesday, whdn I- came to Jefferson, found the boats were running opposition and only charged $B,OO fare to New Orleans, 800 miles from there, and so made up my mind to come with Mr. Farrell to visit the city. (Mr. Farrell is the head con tractor.) • • Jefferson is on a bayou. From thence we run 'on to Cado Lake, across that to Soda Lake, and ;then strike Red River, down which Ive run to the mouth and strike the Mississippi, and run direct to New Orleans. I may stay here some time ; I don't latow yet. Mr. Farrell is willing I should, and is using his..inllueuce to procure me a situation here, , and he may succeed ; if not, I shall go back. New Orleans_ is a fine city, muchnicer buildings than in Chicago, and agreat deal more business here now than there, as this is the cotton and sugar season. The weather is very hot here now, and trees and grass are green as in May in Pennsylvania. There are orange, fig and banana ' ties all over the city, hanging full of frail: I only wish you could be here to-day —you would think it was July. I am , sitting here with duck breeches and vest on now. If things go to suit me, I may be up home in the heat of the summer. There is considerable small pox here t but I am not alarmed. OUR YOUNG FOLKS. Foreigners tell us that we have uo children in Atrierica—that the lit tle precocities regarded by fond pa rents as children - are minature men and women! They are about I,right, too. The quick development of Man hood under the influence of our go ahead institutions may well surprise strangers - , who require twenty-one ,ears of . maturing vegetation to emerge-from the chryshlis state of awkward prudency, and Ahake off the 'preatice-like submissiveness in which they have been educated. Our nation -was a giant in its infancy, and a new term must be invented to describe what it will be in its , mature age : there is nothing in language, at pres. int, to express that vast reality.

To disgress one moment. I there in nature a more venerable-looking thing than a very young infant? Its solemn appearance always awakes in hts a kind: of awe, and, among the un T fathomed mySteries of feminine nature we regard that inordinate desire for kissing and lavishing endearments on. the grave-featured stranger, especial ly among " engaged " young ladies when in the company of unmarried gentlemen. Wit would as soon think of kissing our grandfather, or any other "grave and reverend seigneur." Their is such an ant quoted air about the little caricature of, man—for it only begins to look young after eight or nine months' practice of juvenility. Its wouderons gravity was no donut the origin of the doctrine of the_met empsychoSis, and a person of proper ly-constituted mind naturally revolts at the idea of treating with childish levity a solenin being, which may be, in fact, a resuscitated patriarch, pr perhaps Julius Caesar " come again; like Monsieur Tonsou, or at the !mit a shorn. Capuchin of the 'middle ages, doomed once more lo walk the earth. But to resume. Our youth have no time or inclination to linger amid the puerilities of childhood—they learn to talk, they rush through their education, and pay their parents for their board like true independent cit izens as they are, while the .children of Europe are slobbering with paia fores and wheezing with whooping cough. It is said that Minerva sprung 'full-armed from the head of Jove, her father: That was doing things rath er rapidly, and Jove was " some,' we allow ; but we will back Columbia against him.

I.lmr Co., It is not every book which finds its way to our tables that '"pays - fvr reading; Inlt "Sur GuLl_ AND Tla- VSIPUS" is a work , of intense- interest, both as to the facts and experiences it recites, and in its racy style of nar ration. In Ids wonderful career Bar num has hardly done a better thing for the - world,than ill givii ° , it, in this book, the salient points_ of a public life of fOrtY active years, such as but few.men have ever experienced, or rather, such us no !hail bat the "Great Showman" ever did experience Front beginning to end the book abounds in matters of in,at,* - nction and amnse - - ment to the reader. Good humor, and pointed, vigilant stories, , edly told and illustrating human na ture in its various moods, are renniriz ble features of the work. We cannot think of teperson in the! community who, -would not road (if indeed he can read at all,) this work of Barnum's with delighted interest. It is fitted to the cheerful fireside : gathering of the family, the Eeeludeil chambers of the, old batchelor, or of .the - deranre old maid; for , the poor, man and thefieh; the 'serious contem plator-of humanity; or the jolly ob 'server of his race ;. for tho - se lack ing courage to face a "frowning world'," and for him who rejoices in well-earned victories; in .short, for loan, woman or child, whatever walk in, life either maybe pursuing., Bar num has in his book lifted the veil from many a matter of curiosity and wonder to the public in his noted ca reer, and pointed every page of the work with something in some way useful and practiCal for its readers to know' We shilll be greatly mistaken if -'43-ructtot.E4 SND Ttatistrni!' does not prove the book of the season, and we picture. to .ourseirves the tens of thous ands over the land who will suou be laughing over its humorous pages, . and thanking -.Barnum heartily for this crowning enterprise of his life..

During - the present -trip, for amusement and to pass away - the time, the passengers ,got up , a number of -mock trials which afforded a vast deal of fun. A judge Was'aelecteol, - jurymen drawn, :prisoners arraigned, counsel employ ed, and all the forrualitid of a court established.
