Bom young ladle who canvas (or wo
man suffrage papers have a bad habit, It Is
staled, for bugging men. The bugging I
don, however, purely for bust mm purposes
in vlw. They say that no correctly organ
ised man will refuse to subscribe for their
pspers after being wall hugged. They
therefore put money in their purse, and at
the same time help theoviio, by the oper
ation, and, this being so, they very willing -lysnbmlt
to the sacrifice. But the Revolu
tion thinks it isn't very nice, and la, inifeed
Indignant about it. "It any one connected
with tbie paper," says tbe Revolution,
"ever resorts to ench a course to obtain a
subscriber or advertisement, we beg to he
apprised of the fact, that her 'contfoctlon
may be cancelled etdoce." But tbeo, who's
going to tell ? Where is the base ' creature
that would say nothing about It? The bus
loess of the revolution will go oo. That
