. THE THORNY ROAD.
D ear Weekly:—“ Those who have labored most zealously to
instruct mankind have been those who have sufiered most
from ignorance.” This i s no new idea, but it is one which
bears constant repetition without becoming stale, for the
truth it contains is ever recurring. I find the expression as
quoted above in a workentitled “ Curiosities of Literature,”

' by D’Israeli, combined with “ Curiosities of American Litera-

ture," by Rufus W. Griswold. . V
Immediately following the above sentence there is a list of
illustrious examples of its truthfulness, which it will be well
worth the while of the “general reader” to consider, as
showing the cause for which the greatestand best have en-

duredlthe persecution of bigotry and ignorance. Therefore I.
_ need make no further apology fo.r borrowinglfrom the above

- work some of its facts and some of its language to lay before
the- readers of the WEEKLY. Those who are cognizant of
them already will have memory refreshed. perhaps, and those

who are not will be edified. I will put in quotation marks‘

the language which I employ from the book, for some of the
instances I shall presume to comment upon myself if I can
find language sufliciently strong. ’

First, then, in the "list of martyrs to the ignorance of the
age, we find Lord.Bacon, who “ with a noble perception of his
own genius,” prophesied in his will his recognition by pos-
terity. Mark that noble perception of his‘ own genius! There
is a distinction between conceitand egotism, or egoism as
George Eliot persists in using it. But if one has genius and
nobiy perceives it, methinks onlyafool or.apedant—-between

, which there may be littleorno distinction—would be dis-

posed to ball such perception either conceit or egotism, when

it seems to be rather a sort of divine instinct, whichfserves as

a buoy to keep the devoted head -above the dirty waters of
ignorant detraction.

Galileo sufiered forhavipg learned that the world. moves

physically, and desiring to impart his truth to. mankind, just
the same as they suffer persecution to-day, who,” having
learned that the world moves in a higher sense than Galileo
found out, are similarly desirous ‘of arousing the stupid
masses to the fact.“ ’

Harvey was ridiculed for promulgating his truth that the
blood in our veins circulates . Think what he must have felt,
with his knowledge of a fact, not his conviction of a theory
or a prophecy yet to be elucidated or fulfilled, but a fact that
was obtainedrby. scientific investigation and experiment—a

fact beyond peradventure-—,and yet he must endure the sting-

ing lash of vulgar ridicule! Could aught beside a.“no_b1e
perception of his own genius ” have upheld Harvey and his
great truth? Thank_God for that “ noble perception ” which
gets mistaken by the unskillful for fanaticism, to which; it
holds no more resemblance than an eagle to a scare-crow.
Nevertheless the dolts ofphumanity laugh to-day at what they
do not comprehend, just as they did when informed that
their blood flowed in their veins, fancying now as then that
the finality of the universe was reached in their sublime
conception, never dreaming of more things in heaven or
earth than servejsheir immediate stupidity. V A

Socrates had to die because he Was wiser than his genera-
tion, and lived for some purpose in the ages. Anaxagoras
was imprisoned for his idea of the Deity, which if not more
just, had the merit of differiiig fromthe accepted idea, on
the principle that, any change in a fixed idea, lnotbased upon
a fact, is pretty sure to be a; change for the better.

Aristotle could’nt endure the persecution he was sub-
jected to, so made his quieitus with a “cup of cold piion.”
Heraclitus, who has had an illustrious follower in George

sing stenography, or the art of secret writing, had his works
burned as works of the devil.”  T L

An ignorant old father 'confessor, presuming that the sum
of human wisdom was footed up "in his thick head, through
working upon the misdirected pietyiof Galileo’s wisdom, got
possession of the MSS. ofthat philosopher, and “destroyed

‘f Sextus. the Fifth, Marechal Fabier, Roger Bacon, Caesar
Borgier, his son Alexander the Sixth, and others, were sup-
posed to have their diabolical attendants.” They didn’t lay
claim, it seems, to supernatural assistance, which would have
been some justification for the ignorant, supplying, them
with the attendance of the devil’s imps, but their superior
scientific and philosophical acumen was enough to clothe
them in the grim majesty of Satan. .

“Cardan was believed to be a'magician. The fact is that
he was, for hisptime, la, very able naturalist, and hewho hap-
pened to know something of the arcane. of nature was im-
mediately. suspected of magic. Even the learned themselves
who had not applied to natural philosophy seem to have acted
with the same feelings as the most ignorant; for when Albert,
usually called the Great——a.n epithet he owed to his name, De
G»root—constructed a curious piece of mechanism which sent
forth distinct musical sounds, Thomas Aquinias was so terri-
fied at it that he struck it with his stafl -to the mortification
of Albert, annihilating the curious labor of thirty. years.” ‘

It seems that poets and poetry were imuch under the
ban of ignorance in ye ancient days,——and if Joaquin Miller’
had served them for an example there’ would not need be any
wonder at it. Our book says‘: “They could not imagine a
poet without supposing him to hold intercourse with some
demon.” This sort of persecution of science and genius
lasted tillthe close of the seventeenth century,” so the book
says, and the list of its examples closes with this opinion from
.Hallem: “ If the metaphysician stood‘ a chance of being
burned’ as a heretic, the natural philosopher was not in less
jeopardy as a magician.” Then follows alist of poor geniuses
who lived in poverty and died inethe most abject want.’

But it seems to me a little like the assumption of ignorance
to set it down that “persecution of science and genius ”
ended with theseventeenthpcentury. The same inveterate and-
intolerant spirit, born of egiotism and nursed in ignorance, is
as rampant‘ in the nineteenth century as it ever was in the
seventeenth or before; and if the priesthood had the same
power the record would be as bloody and barbarous. The
spirit enthroned in wisdom beyond the age sufiers torments
and tortures though the poor body escape fire and poison.

The superstitious ignorance and the grounded bigotry of
the day will strip a gifted soul of all claim to decency and
the “rights of man” for promulgating an unpalatable idea.
The world seems doomed never to learn the lessons"of the
past; its course seems destined over burning plowshares,
trodden by the blistered feet of wisdom born before its time.
It seems that all truth must fight its disputed way; first,
through the indifference of the stupid; next, the ridicule of
the vain and frivolous, and lastly, through the persecution of
the bigoted and powerful. . ‘ ' r A ,

And the great social truth which took the ‘form of a social‘
earthquake has gone through each stage until it‘ has at last
"reached popular recognition." Truth travels faster than before-
we had the much ridiculed railroads and telegraphs to help it
on its eternal course.

MOODY AND SANKEY-—WHAT ARE THEY?
A BY A FREE-RELIGIONIST.

A thinker, who builds a frame for his facts before he has
discovered them, is a dangerous man. The world has had
many such, and incalculable injury has been the result. Thus
human slavery, that master—piece of iniquity, was made to
fit most admirably into the scheme of general salvation and
dubbed a _“' divine institution.” Thus the curse placed upon
woman, and the position of virtual servitude assigned her,
have been merciless drags upon the growth of her mental and
moral capacities. And such a terrible grip has this assump-
tion of “divine wrath” so-called, upon the intelligence of
the age—that even now we hesitateto acknowledge woman
capable of the most ordinary civic duties, or_ entitled to a
voice in forming the laws that‘ control her life, liberty,,and
pursuit of happiness. .

‘ At present in our city we are having an exemplification of
thehludicrous inconsistenciesthat result fromiour trying to
force the facts of to-day into the frames of yesterday. In
school and college the student is taught that the laws of the
universeprescribed by infinite wisdom are inviolably ob-
served, and that to ask the suspension of even the smallest

of nature’s rules, would be at once impious and monstrous

for it would be an impeachment of God himself, an accusa-
tion that His bounty is not all sufficient. ‘ And yet these
men stand”boldly forth and proclaim, that under certain con-
ditions a. man suffering from tubercles on the lungs can be
_made perfectly well and whole through the agency of a series
of mental processes termed penitence, entreaty,1audation,

etc. A village suflering from the scourge of intemperancee
is promised relief by these keepers of the conscience of the

Most -High by the same means. a A widow, whose only son
has fallen into wicked ways, is told, that no matter what the

causes of the young man’s moral obliquity may be, prayer,

of itself and alone, is all potent to efiect his cure, and restore
him to her arms as pure as on the day he first saw light.

With causes these men have nothing to do, It is the old,

old story. In every age, in_every profession, such men come
to the surface. Wfiat Mesmer was to the scienceof medi..
cine, these men are to the cause of “true religion.” And
when we say “true religion,” we are willing to accept the
definitioniof the founder of Christianity, Whose followers
these Quixotic theologians proclaim themselves to be. The
young Jewish teacher said, in answer to a certain lawyer:

“Love God with all thy heart, soul and mind, and thy
neighbor as th.yse1f;” hereupon “hang all the law and the

prophets.” ‘

Mar. 4, 1876.

What this “love thy neighbor as thyself" means, we find
in another passage. “I was hungry, ye gave me meat; thirsty
ye gave me drink; a stranger, ye took me in; naked, ye
clothed me; sick, ye visited me; in prison, ye come unto
me.” ~ . n l .

Here we have a definition, rather bald and crude, but strik-
ing withal. Lotus apply this standard to Messrs. Moody and
Sankey and mark the result: ; , ' _, '

“Ye were hungry, we prayed for you; thirsty, we prayed
for you; fa strand-ger,;we_ prayed for you; naked, we prayed
for you ;”sick,_ we prayedfforr you; in prison, we prayed for
you.’’’‘' , " ,  " 1, I .

Children, playing with: 'lighte_d torches in a village of card-
board houses,‘are not more to be dreaded than an ignorant
man with an earnest fervid manner, for the world isalways
impressed by earnestness and fervor; no matter how worth-
less, how reprehensible the cause may be, converts are never
lacking. Such a man is generally grossly ignorant, he ‘has'nt
the faintest conception of physical" and psychical laws, he cares
nothing for them, he is a law unto himself. If a physician,
he carries his “specifics” in his vest pocket; if a lawyer, his
office and library in. his hat; if ._ a preacher, he puts forth

‘ noise for argument and “howling dervish” manners for the

“fervor of the spirit.”_ To such a man religion and emotion

are synonymou’s.termS.. and‘. hysteria is the working‘-of the‘

Holy Ghost. A momentary attack of contrition is pro-

nounced a descent of the spirit. The veriest rogue who has‘
preyerl upon society for years is] led ‘ to believe that his con-.

version may be wrought in an instant. In other words, that

which has taken years to pull down may be built up in the s
twinkling of an ‘eye. Here we are struck with the full.
' enormity of such’ a" doctrine. ‘Here we are run upon that de-

testable quackerywhich ignores the law of causation, ignores
the law of environment, ignores the law of hereditary descent
and ignores the law of social forces. Here we experience in

i all its utter worthlessness, the moral cowardice that shrinks

from the discomfort. ‘G011. SI1fl’6I'ing and sacrifice of the genuine
worker and helper in the fields of humanity, and plays the
part of the “stay at home.” ‘"9119 t9~1k8l‘.” “the exhorter,”
“the wordycomforter.” It needs but a cursory glance at the
principles‘ enunciated by these so—called evangelists, to be-
come thoroughly convinced of their subjective and empiric
methods. While p_roba_b1ythey might be induced to admit
that theyare conscious of the existence of law and order_ in
the physical world, yet in the domain of the mental and
moral, they perceive naught but chaos, out of which it is.im-

_ possible for the individual to bring light and life, except by

the direct interposition of a supernatural force.

And here it is exactly that such teachers become extremely
dangerous.’ While willing to admit that nature’s mills grind
slowly. that she requires much of time and effort to restore
the broken tissue, yet with the madness of the deductive

rmethod, they urge that the moral plague, the mental ulcer,

may be-cured in ictu oculi. Here they cease to be harmless
agitators and become distillers of a poison which they cun-
ningly administer in such disguised form, as to delight whno
it destroys. .

Suppose a man who has stolen his neighbor’s coat, upon
being asked to plead at the Court of Sessions, should rise
and thus address the judge: “If your honor please, I did
steal this man’s coat, but I have repented; I have told God
of this false step. He has pardoned me and directed me to do
so no more. I therefore ‘move that you discharge me.” ,

Or suppose the cashier ofa bank, detected in the act of em-
bezzlement, shculd thus address the president: “True. I
have committed this crime; but, sir, you see my tears, you
hear my lamentations, my repentance is sincere. I feel that
God has balanced the account in the Great Ledger of the re-
cording ange1’s department. I therefore ask that you rein.
state me and give me your entire confidence.” What think
you would be the reply which these worthies would receive?
It would be simple, terrible. just; it would be this: “Con-
trition, Probation, Reparation.”

To return tothe discussion of these menthemselves. Sup-
pose Howard instead of v-isiting the “bridewells, houses of
correction, city and town jails” had stayed at home to pray,
what reform would he have accomplished in English prison
system? Suppose l/Vilberforce, instead of fighting‘ slavery as
he did, had gone about singing anti~slavery songs invlpulpits
and on platforms, would he have fulfilled his glorious
mission? r V A

And the same question ‘may be askedof all the workers

' and helpers in the domain of true religion-——love God and

man——from Buddha to John Brown. It is vain for these
prayerful men to assert that no such field of activity is ready
for them. Let them turn their eyes from withinwto without.

~ While they are engaged intakin g God to task for His lack of

mercy, the hungry,.the thirsty, the stranger, the naked, the
sick, the imprisoned are calling unto them. Mr. Bergh has
provided for the proper transportation of animals, but the
horrors of the prison—vain and chain—gang still remain. Our
penal laws and our prison system have come down to us from
days of blood and revenge. The church dares not attack
prostitution. In the temple, public conveyance, and public
hall the whites still call out to the blacks: “ Holier than ‘ye i”
Work degrades woman, where it should ennoble her. But
enough. Why add . to the list? Men are willing to suffer
martyrdom nowadays, provided they be allowed to carry a
change of linen, comb, brush, etc. to prison with them. It is
a shame that people should allow idle curiosity to give even
a quasi—endorsement to this latter-day gospel of gush and
snivel. . I » A
We have no difficulty, in view of the facts, in framing an
answer to the interrogatory placed at the head of this article.
And in doing so, be it well understood, we set nothing down
in the spirit of lampooner or satirist; but in sorrow rather
than -in anger, in pity rather than in censure, with a pen

_ moist with the warm milk of humanity, rather than dripping

with the gallof cold indifference, we arrive at these conclu-
sions: - 7 * r '

1. In that these men, by their teachings, raise the emotional
element of religion to such undue prominence as to leadmany

‘sell her maternallfunctions out of her control?
‘our marriage laws are wrong, and open the gates to many

people to believe that, by earnest prayer, God may be induced
to decree the release of man’s responsibility to fellow-man,
they dispense a dangerous poison, the more dangerous from
its sweetness to a disordered moral taste.

-2. In that these men, either through an ignorance of
i“causes,”, or from a moral cowardice to attack them, treat
“ effects T’ only, and doctor the “symptoms” and not the
.""’disease,’»’ they are simply religious charlatans.

,3. Inthat these men proclaim the existence of a Court of
'Heavenly.Justice, always in session, but whose judgments
are based upon the statementof only one party, they bring
“human law into’ contempt, they weaken the hold that man
has upon his fellow-man, they rob remorse of its sting, they
‘open up a new road into the territory of crime by pointing
out a safe . and pleasant retreat; in .a word, if they were not
honestly in ‘error and had not their fervor and zeal to com-
mend them, they would be prosecuted as enemies of law and
order, and corrupters of the public‘ conscience.

4.. In that these men proclaim themselves the disciples of
the Founder of Christianity,.but, unlike Him, have no power
to do good or show miracles—except it be the strength of
their tongues-they have no claim to our respect, and are
alone saved from our contempt by the reflection that the cul-
tured 'thought of’ the age will soon render such exhibitions
"impossible. ' I ” I ‘ ‘ ‘ I

A NEW CLASS OF CRIMI-NALS.
BY WARREN CHASE.

Crimes are settled among civilized nations by statute law,
determined by the nature and effect of the act. and its hear-
ing on the party and the public.’ The criminal code of the
Christian Church differs somewhat from the legal code, as in
the former there are many criminal acts not recognized as
such by law, such as taking the name of God in vain, or pro-
fane swearing, except when used in preaching and praying,

when it is no crime to take it in vain as all praying christians

do. Drunkenness and lizeing are also crimes in the code of
most churches, and in the Roman church (the mother of the
whole brood), coition is always‘ a crime, when not permitted
by its priests in their marriage contract, and hence all legal
and protestant marriages are void, as God does not put them
together, and their intercourse is criminal in the sight of
God and the holy church. But we are not after the criminal
code of the church in this article, but the law of our protes-
tant and infidelstatesmen. It is universally conceded, that
murder, except in war, in self-defence, and by law, is a
crime of the deepest die; hence suicide is always considered
a crime, even though we cannot punish the perpetrator.
Arson is next, and _this crime is the same in nature if the
person sets fire to his own building, as if he set fire to his
neighbor's, although the law might deal more leniently with
the criminal. Rape is the next, and as we have often as-
serted, ought to be the same when it is committed on a
wife,’ as when committed on any other woman; but as we
shall see, here steps in. another crime to justify this. Piracy
is a crime, and slave—stea1ing is piracy; yet civilized men
go,into Africa. and coax, allure, deceive, and entice the
innocent and ignorant natives into their power, and "then
secure and sell them for slaves; then {they are owned
by the purchaser. Where slavery is a crime, as in this
country, no person can any ,more sell himself or herself,
except by special ,law, than he or she can a child, a neighbor,
or a stolen African. If it is a crime to sell and make a slave
of a child or neighbor, or a stolen African, it is equally so to
make a slave orvproperty, which is the ame thing, of one’s
self; and yet, by law, every wife is the property of her hus—
band; hence the horrible crime of rape on her person is no
crime in law, because she is,-in law, no person, but only
property, and with only some especial laws for her protection,
the same as there are for horses which the owner has no legal

right to pound to _death_yvith_clu.b,s,.n . Now, as in most cases

the wife is coaxed, enticed, deceived and allured into the
mentalapower of the male, and then, for various considera-
tions, induced to sanction the sale of herself in the presence
of some person authorized to "legalize the sale, is she, or is
she not, aoriminal, if slavery be a crime? It must be re-
membered that the thousands of happy unions and mutual
companionships that exist under the law have nothing to do
-with this question, as our laws should be made for those
who need protection from them, and not for those who have
no need of them. As these happy unions are not made so
by law, but by love, which is above the law, over which the
law has really no control, they would be just as happy, as
good and as true without as with it. This brings us to the
bottom rock of this question: Has a person a right to sell
herself, body and soul, into slavery—slavery for life——and to
If not, then

wrongs which are crying daily for redress, while the church
and State, backed up by every libertine and real slave owner

in the land, are calling out in holy horror at the horrible doc-

trine of social freedom which alone can rescue us from the
evil and the suffering from this terrible doom.

FREE LOVE.

An Arizona wife begged the court not to punish her hus-
band for the crime of bigamy, of which he was convicted.
“ He loved me once, and was kind,” said she, with the tears
running in streams down her face, “ and when I go away to
my lonely home it would be my only earthly comfort to know
that he was free" to seek for happiness if he can find it any»
where in the world.” When sentence was pronounced the
stricken woman fell on her knees before her husband, and,
placing her hands upon his arms, asked him to forgive her
if she had ever done anything to chill his love for her, and to
kiss her just as he would a dead wife whom he loved. The
wretched man seemed entirely overcome by these appeals
and his own fate, and grasping her in his arms, kissed her
over and over again, and when the omcers drew him away she
sank fainting to the floor.

We commend the above extract to the editors of the many
papers in which it has appeared, as an illustration of free
love—a love that exists to bless and not merely to possess
its object. Beside such love as this, the other kind is hatred.
If people will not or cannot understand what we mean by
free love, let them take the above Arizona wife as our argu-
,ment ; she not only was free to love, but she gave the object
of her love the same freedom.

INTELLUCENE AGAIN.

. Srnunux, HURON Co., Ohio, Jan. 6, 1876.

Editors Wealth/—~Desiring more-knowledge of the “Phil-
osophy of Intelligence” the first thing to be considered is
intelligence, for “ without this we can do nothing,” and
our philosopher tells us that it is an idea, and that ideas are
formed of a substance called intellucine, but whatintellucine
is, further than that it is a substance, he does not inform us,
nor how he knows that it exists, and that the earth is sur~
rounded with it, nor how he knows that it is subject to the
like or analagous laws that pertain to other matter—,—all of
which are matters necessary to be understood before one can
form an intelligent opinion of the character of his proposi-
tions. A few inquiries and remarks may serve to bring to light
what seems now rather obscure. How does he know that in-
tellucine exists, and that it is a substance and surrounding
our earth like its atmosphere, and especially how does he
know that thoughts are formed of it ? Has he ever detected
and secured any of it and subjected it to chemical analysis
to ascertain this and to sustain his assumptions? Of course
if thoughts are formed out of this substance now, it must be
reasonable to suppose that they always were so formed, and
consequently that substance existed before thought, and that
thought could not even havebeen coeval therewith. And
just. here will our philosopher instruct us how intellucene
formed itself into thought, and how the organism that ap-
propriated or appropriates it for the formation of its mind,
came to exist without mind intelligence? The individual
mind could not have existed until the organism existed that
appropriates it for its formation; and we would like to know
(for we are naturally of an inquiring mind, especially regard-
ing the mysteries of God and His creation) how thought
could have a representative form of substance until a thought
existed needing such representation?

But the greatest of all this kind of mysteries that most
needs solution is how intellucene, of which all thoughts are
made, if any, does act per se in the same intellusic atmos-
phere, in and through similar organisms, side by side, in the
formation of thoughts in one that is so diametrically op-
posed by the thoughts of the other. We are not unaware that
difl'erences in theconstruotion of organisms imply the mani-
festation of difierent operations and efiects, but that the two
suggested should so sharply antagonize, and with apparent
design, when, according to our philosopher, there could have
been none, is not easy of understanding. The only way to
account for this is, it seems to me, that old mother nature
(matter, Itake it, is naturejorganized or unorganized) is an in-
telligent old hussy per se, and having no intelligence to guide
her, as a matter of course, could not do otherwise with her
eflorts than to construct the unintelligent and varied mass
of organisms, withall of their idiosyncraoies and contradic-

SAL'.rjLAKn CITY, Jan. 26, 1876.
Woodhull and Clafiinfls Weekly, Greeting:

As an earnest worker for political, social, and a thorough
general reform, I desire to announce through your columns
that Inam anxious to make the acquaintance of, and co—oper-
ate (as far as possible) with, all persons» who are ripe for
practical peaceful reform. Great amelioration of the suffer-
ings that will attend the coming conflict, can be secured by
the wise and determined union and co-operation of energetic
working people. The gloomy wonder now is, how must we
proceed to obtain support, and compel Government to pro-
? mote human safety and happiness. I offer my opinion of the
true mode of organization: Small societies or divisions of
people must enact‘ their own neighborhood laws, and select
and install their own delegates to frame rules for more ex~
tended association with mankind. For further explanation
I inclcse a copy of a petition now before the Utah Legislature
on primary organizations, hoping that it may be extensively,
studied and commented upon, so that by some means we may
arrive at a true knowledge of organic union, peace and good
will. Very respectfully, S. HUDSON.

Councilor Caine submitted a memorial of C. W. Tappan

and S. Hudson, asking for the passage of a certain memorial

may erve to elucidate his propositions, and such will be V

introduced at the last session,,for aiNominative Franchise
Bill. The following is a memorial:

MEMORIAL
Fon A LAW To GUARD THE SANCTITY or THE N oM1NAT1vE
FRANCHISE.
To the Honorable Legislative Assembly of the Territory of
Utah, Greeting: ‘

We, your petitioners, respectfully represent that there is no
law. within our knowledge, that defines either how, when, or
where to commence political . representation, and. conse-
quently, we, as individuals, and the people as communities,
find ourselves at each recurring election unprepared and un-
able to make the necessary Government nominations on the
basis of individual representation. .

Therefore, to make it possible for all citizens to meet with
their peers at a fixed time and place, to select governing
deputies by a majority vote of all citizens they are to repre-
sent, we respectfullyrequest your honorable body to estab-
lish by law regular annual nominating conventions in each
school district in the Territory, (where minority as well as
majority representation will operate naturally), for the elec-
tion of school ofiicers; also for the appointment of primary
deputies to annual precinct conventions for the election of
precinct ofiicers; also for the appointment from their own
body of deputies to county conventions. and so on, repeating
the process through a succession of annual fixed conventions,
until the whole Territory is completely organized on the basic
principle of individual and personally selected representation
(furnishing revenue for governmental expenses by atax on

‘ clear yearly income), so that every citizen can independently

take hold of the helm of government, and through general
council and well-directed effort retrieve the elfects of former
neglect, and proceed to organize a protective government for
the safety and support of the whole population. and thus to
inaugurate a policy to save the liberty of the citizen, and Con-
stitution from otherwisecertain destruction.

And in amity bound by mutual interest, we will be obliged
for favorable action.

(From the N. Y. Sun, Feb. 17 1876.) '

A LETTER women THE ADVISORY COUNCIL
‘ SHOULD READ.

Mr. Oliver Johnson, then an associate editor of Mr.
Beecher’s on the Christian Union, at the scandal trial was
called as a witnes for the accused pastor. Mr. Johnson testi-
fied to very little of importance, the main part of his evi-
dence being directed to _the matter of Mr. Tilton’s alleged

_ immoralities, on account of which, according to Mr. Johnson,

Mr. Bowen dismissed ‘him from the Independent.

Mr. Johnson gave no testimony touching his knowledge of
Mr. Beecher’s immoralities, regarding which thepublic then.
had and now has so great concern. But the form of action
brought against Mr. Beecher enabled his counsel to befog
the issue with inquiries as to Mr. Ti1ton’s moral behavior,
and they did not fail to avail themselves of the opportuni-
ty to help their client with the jury by efforts to macken the
reputation of his accuser as something not to be damaged
by a seducer who should enter his own household.

What Mr. Johnson failed to tell in court regarding his
knowledge of Mr. Beecher's immoralities, about which he
seems not to have cared to speak, since he was in the employ
of the accused pastor, the subjoined letter, which five years
ago he wrote to Mr. Bowen in Mr. Tilton’s behalf, very
emphatically says:

“ [Private and Confidential.]
“128 EAST TWELETH STREET Jan. 7, 1871.

“ MR. H. C. BowEN—My dear sir: It is stated in various
newspapers, and confirmed by public rumor, that you have
expelled Mr. Tllton from the editorship of the Unibn. At
first I stubbornly refused to believe these reports ' but after
hearing them from so many quarters. I begin to,think they
must be true. The statement is also passing from lip to lip
that you refuse to fulfil the the pecuniary Obligation assumed
in your contract with Mr. Tllton, assigning as the reason for
so doing your conviction that he is an immoral man &c. I
have neither seen Mr. Tilton, nor had any communication
with him for more than a week, and in writing you this
letter I act without his knowledge, and in simple obedience
to my own sense of duty as his friend and yours.

“ At the close of the interview at your house on Christmas
day, I understood you to pledge your word that you would
do nothing respecting Mr. Tilton——would take no step in the
matter»-without consulting me. On this point I am sure I
cannot be mistaken. If, therefore, you have done to Mr.
Tilton what you are reported to have done, have you not
broken your promise ? Certainty you have not consulted
me on the subject since that day, except so far as to inform
me that you had heard fresh reports putting matters in’ a
Worse light. I was expecting. from day ‘to day, that you
would seek my advice; and therefore when the newspapers re-
ported that you had summarily dismissed Mr. T. from the
Union, I contradicted the story among my friends, believing‘
that it could not possibly be true. . , -

“In this matter 1 claim no right beyond those which you

voluntarily, and without any solicitation on my part-,conferred-

upon me. You took me into your confidence, and I have
neverisought, even by inquiry or a hint, to elicit from you
anything beyond what you deliberately chose to communi-
cate. More than once or twice, did you say to me, ‘I shall
keep still; I will not move without your advice.’ - A

“ What has occurred to change your purpose in this respect,
1 do not know. Oi course, I understand you to be acting up-
on the belief, no doubt sincerely entertained, that Mr. Til-
ton is guilty of the charges made against him. But, even
upon that assumption, I frankly confess that your course (if
you have done what rumor declares). seems to me cruel, es-
pecially when contrasted with your conduct toward ‘another
man, whom you say you know to have been extensively guil-
ty of the same offences.
have hardened your heart against Mr. '1‘. in the same week
that you paid a high premium for a pew in a church whose pas-
tor yousay you know to be an adulterer. if your action to-
ward Mr. Tilton proceeds only from a sincere abhorrence of
the offences with which he stands charged, why do you take
a different course with your pastor? If you would give the
one a chance to recover himself, why not be equally forbear-
ing to the other? This Lhsay on the assumption that Mr. T.
is guilty; but I do not myself believe that he is half as guil-
ty as you suppose. In short I know. that some of the stories
told against him are false, and that malignant persons are on
his track, with the intention of hounding him down: and I
thinkvyou have been, to some extent, the victim of theirvmae
chinaticns. A

 no you not remember saying to me that in all you might

It seems to me that you should not ‘

do in this case, you would be governed by a desire to spare
T. from exposure, and to give him a chance ‘to recover him-
self if he was wrong? And yet I hear people say, on your
alleged authority, that heis so bad a man that you can have
nothing to do with him. Ah,,Mr. Bowen, if Mr. B. is fit to
be your pastor, Mr. T. cannot be unfitto edit for you a secu-
lar journal.” .

your house, he lies in face of evidence that would convict

“ But I would have you be merciful to him. doing nothing
to bring upon his head the odium of an ungodly an_d relent—
less world. I want you to be equally. kind and merciful to
T., as I fear you are not. Your precipitate action may lead,
is likely to lead, to fearful consequences. A He may have pro-
voked you, but I cannot forget how harshly and angrily you
spoke to him at your own house, making him feel that you
were not the tender-hearted friend who would deal
kindly and generously with him, and to whom he might un-
bosom himself in full confidence, confessing wherein he had
done wrong. Your hardness repelled him——perhaps drove.
him to concealments as unwise for himself as embarrassing
to you. A ’ * ~ - I

takes a Christian to be good and generous to a sinner- I did
hope that you would have grace given you in this case to act
a very high and noble part, and to become the agent in God’s
hands for shielding an old friend so far as he might be inno-
cent, and leading him to repentance for any sin he had com-
mitted. ‘He which converteth the sinner from the error of
his way shall save a soul from death and shall hide a multi-
tude of sins.’ Would ‘to God that this honor might have
been yours. _

If I have written any word unjust to yourself, forgive me,
and believe me, your friend, “ULTVER JoHNsoN.”

It is not easy to_ understand how an honest man, informed
of the facts of which the above letter. bears witness, could oc-
cupy the place of awitness in behalf of the man he so ex-
plicitly charged with crimes fatal to his reputation‘ and in
every way odious and outrageous. But Mr. Johnson did it,
and threw his influence on the side of his employer. Know-
ing Mr. Beecher to be an adulterer of manifold offences, he
went on the witness stand in his behalf, to try to shield him

an oath in order to cast reproach on the accuser whom he

to help to ward off righteous punishment from this last.

In so acting Mr. Johnson has not been alone. Prof. Moses
Coit Tyler is informed regarding the bottom facts, but
he does not come forward with the testimony, and Mr.

him tohbe an adulterer and a perj urer, a cruel assailant of his
friends, and a man who is seeking to regain his foothold in
the church and in society by trampling on those he has in-
jured.

Beecher and his wily attorney, Brother Shearman.

establishment thereby of the universal human family. It

nnr LIVING noon.

' There can be no doubt’ that the nearer one comes to eat-
~ ‘ing foodin its natural state, the nearer such an one will come
to living normally. We have only to observe the diiference
betweenthe habits of man and those of the animals to learn
this. ‘Were animals to live after the habits of man, they
would soonlbe. cursed with all his weaknesses, sicknesses
and early death. Animals live naturally to certain ages,
so seldom‘ dying. ‘before that age, that it may be said that
they have anallotted period of life. But among the young
this difference is‘ tobe marked most distinctly. The most
fatal period of life among the young of man isfrom birth to
the fifth year. In that period nearly one-half the children,
bo‘rn_‘of.what ought to be the most enlightened parentage,
die. Nothing like this is found among the ‘young of any
species_'of animals below man. The reason is obvious.
Animals live normally; live in accordance with the laws by
which they are related to nature, and their young are born
normally, wlthout any inherited tamts, and, living nor-
mally after birth, suffer none of the evils that children
suffer. . . A r .
n The fatality among children exists because they are.con-
ceived in wrong conditions, and are generated and born under
abnormal’ influenoes;'a.nd are then nurtured and “fed in a
manner that the feeble resistance which their immature

being theleast affected by the unnatural influencesof which
we speak, come to a more positive existence, andresist the
destructive influences with more success. In the period
from five to fifteen, save fijom contagious diseases, a very
small percentage of 'childre‘n die. ;,This period is, however,
followed by a fatal one, caused by the inability to resist the
effects of the abnormally gdeveloped passions that in the
meantime make their appeairance. But we do not intend to
go into this here. . i

The young of animals die so seldom that it may be said
that none die from disease. Has this no meaning which
man should understand? Why should one-half the young of

' the highest order of animals die immature, while all the

young of the lower order live to mature? There can be but
two reasons; first: By reason of the physical taints inherited
from their parents; and, second: {By reason of improper
food‘ and care. Think of it, mothersl. One-half of all
children bprn, dying before attaining the age of five years?
Can it be anything less than murder that such a fact is
true——murder by reason of your ignorance, and your faults
of life and care for those to whom you have given life? It
is a most terrible, but a most true indictment. In the eyes
of the law thousands of mothers are as guilty of man-,
slaughter, as is he who, through carelessness, causes the

death of another.

,~‘Among the causes of!‘ early death and almost constant
suffering during life, one of the chief is, no doubt, that of

, improper diet.‘ If man lived as normally as the beasts, it

would be ‘fair to conclude that he would be as healthy.
One of the two most marked distinctions between the life
of man and the animals is in diet. And examples are not
wanting to prove that as the diet of people approaches
nearest to eating natural food, the better is the degree of
health enjoyed. Natural food is that which, when eaten,
has all the life principles still within it that can be retained
and be prepared for food. In preparing meats for food,
the first thing is to drain it of its blood, the very central
force of life. Onereason that fish is a superior diet to
flesh is that it does not lose this life. But fish is not atall
equal to fruits and grains, because the spirit life of the fish
goes out when it dies, while it remains in fruit and grains
and is taken with their substances into the system. What
we mean by this may be illustrated by butchers who stand
over the animals they kill and inhale their departing life.
They are seidom large eaters, nevertheless, as a class, they
are always fleshy andhealthy. If instead of the meat of
animals, the life of the meat could be secured, that would be
a life-giving element. - All kinds of cooked foods, which in
cooking lose any "of the vital life-force, are inferior as diet to
that which is uncooked.’.;§t Indeed it, is almost certain that
cooked food is second best to that which is uncooked.

I We believe that the time will come when all cooked food

will be discarded. V , .

Of course to make a change from present diet to one of
fruits and grains, requires some faith that it will be bene-
ficial, because a system, long accustomed to abnormal things,
will suifer if a change from them be made, and if persisted

‘ in, will in most instances cause a loss of flesh; perhaps, at

first, of strength and of ability tolabor. It is like a drunkard
leaving liquor. One who has drank to drunkenness for
years will have delirum tremens, lf he cease too suddenly;
and the same is true in less degrees of all use of intoxicating
drinks. To eat or drink nothing of which the want is felt,
if it be dropped‘, is a safe rule to follow, and this will ex-
clude, almost at the head of the list, the most common
articles of diet. Tea or cofiee‘ is used by the great majority
of people. With many they are so necessary that they can-
not attend to their accustomed duties without them. ’
The habit of drinking strong coffee for breakfast will in
time produce an abnormal appetite for it, and such an efiect
upon the system, that if it be discontinued, severe headache
will ensue. It haslong been a question with us, whether

hence they yield and die. After five years, those who live, V

the aggregate of the ill efiects of tea and coffee drinking,vvas,

drinks. In an individual case, the latter may be more
deleterious; but as the number of those who use the former '

is so much larger than that of those who use the latter, the l

total evil may be even greater. Nothing should ever be
taken into the stomach, either as food or drink, that does

not go directly to supply depletion; that does not assimilate "

with the fluids, tissues and solids of the body. The body
does not require stimulation or narcotization; it simply needs
alimentation. ' - .
‘Confirmed habits of diet will undoubtedly prove one of
the hardest barriers to overcome, in the search for eternal
life. But the value which we place upon overcoming them,
may b.e imagined when we say that, given parents who have
lived perfectly in accordance with nature for, say, five
years, who shall then bear children who shall live on
natural food, they will develop into the conditions in which
eternal life is found without difficulty. While, on the
contrary, those who live abnormally, in diet and in their
relations to the other sex, will‘ struggle many a day and fail
at last to attain to that condition. We have said all along
that the truth is a fearful .thing for those to have who are
slaves to any habits that are opposed to it. And we want
all our readers to take this to mean the most that it can be
made to mean, before deciding that they want the truth that
we have got to offer them. v '

, THE TRANSIT FROM LUST TO LOVE.

There. are many evidences, still existing and constantly
coming to light, that even the first principles of love, are
not yet understood by those who have seemed to think and
study upon the subject most. Because both thesepowers
find their physical manifestations in the same way, thou-
sands have confounded one with the other; generally mis
taking the former for -the latter, but sometimes the latter
for the former. For these reasons the term free love to
most people means free lust, just as if such a contradiction
were possible. Thevonly logical way to contrast these
terms is to make the latter the antipodes of the former, as
well in the expletive as in the substantive. Enforced lust
is the opposite of free love. Neither of these expletive
words, however, are at all necessary, since love is always
free; while lust, exemplified in action, is always enforced
or gained by some means that are widely apart from love.

But this will be better understood if the factors of sex-
love be analyzed, Accepting love as a sentiment expressed
in action, it is composed of two factors, passion and desire;
the former positive and masculine, and the latter negative
and feminine. Passion may exist unexpressed, and so long
as it does, it is simply a positive power in readiness to be
called into action; but when it comes into the influence of
desire, then the law of unity, or the focalization of the two
poles of the human battery, are indicated and it -may follow
and produce harmonious results. But whenfpassion ex-
presses itself regardless of, the attractive power of desire, it
is like to the bursting of a shell, the explosion of a. maga-
zine of powder, or any other simply destructive process;
while passion answering to desire is like the confluence of
two rivers running in the same direction—-they unite and
increase the volume of power that flows onward to the
great ocean of life. _

This may bejillustrated, perhaps, still more forcibly by
the electric telegraph. The positive pole of the battery is
always charged and in readiness to comply with any de-
mands that may be made upon it, but it never projects its
power forward into space or upon any object. And when
it is brought into communication with a negatively po-
larized battery, it goes forward over the wire by virtue of

the draft, the demand that is made upon it; i. e., it is drawn ‘

to the other extremity of the connection. Now, in this

simple electrical problem there is a truth locked up, which I

would benefit the world immeasurably if it should search
after and find it and adopt it as the rule of life. The same
law is, however, exemplified under other processes of nature.
The positive elements, in whatever department, when they
act harmoniously and constructively, and not lawlcssly and
destructively, move when attracted but not before; go where
they are drawn, never elsewhere. All processes of recupera-
tion and growth are evidences of this law. Recuperative and
building-up powers, which are always positive, move to
their places and take up their ‘association by reason of at-
traction and not of propulsion. ,

If this law were rigidly observed in the relations of the
sexes, all the ills that now grow out of them would cease.
The propulsion of passion, when a.nd where it is not at-
tracted by desire, is always lustful, is always selfish, one-
sided, destructive and death-dealing both to its subject and
object. There is little doubt that muchthe larger propor-
tion d of commerce that obtains under cover of marriage
is of this kind. . ,

And this large proportion of death-dealing commerce, is
largely increased by another variety-——that which is carried
on in utter ignorance of all the laws which ought to govern
it and be fully understood. We refer now to that class of
cases where passion and desire are both present, but where
from inadaptation, ignorance, selfishness, thoughtlessness,
or any other preventing cause, the former expends itself
without having reached and filled the demands of the latter.
Of all classes of commerce this is the most destructive, be-
cause it not only has all the elements of evil to the positive
side of the issue. that are possible of simple propulsive

net greater than that seeming none the use elf stronger,

passion, but it also destrogys the healthy tone at the opposite

side, by first raising it to an intense pitch of expectancy
only to let it fall into the cold abyss of disappointment.
Highly wrought nervous diseases of females arise almost
wholly from this cause. ,

But while the ultimate expression of love is centered in
the physical organization of the sexes, it by no means fol-
lows_that all there is of love is of the physical, although
this may be perfect in itself, without the complementing
benedictions of the other departments of love. Passion
and desire that meet wholly on the physical plane are sub-
ject to change; to satiety; to becoming repellant to each other,
and consequently they seek new associations. Those who
are on this plane are on a level with the animals whose
commerce is governed wholly by physical passion. and
desire. But the love divine is something quite" different
from this. Man is a three-fold being; he is first, physical;
second, emotional; and third, spiritual; he is a.three-fold
battery giving off emanations from the brain, the heart and
the generative system. He lives in an atmosphere made up
of these three emanations, and when he comes into the
sphere of one of the opposite sex who also has the counter-
parting atmosphere, these different emanations meet and
mingle or else repel each other. Thus men and women
may meet and the former be strongly attracted by either
one, some two or all three of these emanations, or be equally
repelled; or be attracted by one and repelled by the others.
Almost everybody has experienced this. There are fre-

'quently strong attachments between individuals of the

opposite sexes, spiritually and emotionally, where physical
attraction is wholly lacking; and sometimes, strong physi-
cal attractions, where otherwise there is equally strong
repulsion. The understanding of these laws would carry
people along way toward a proper arrangement of their
social relations. '

A purely physical love, as we said, is open to constant
change and is never satisfied long at a time; physical and
emotional love combined ensure more permanent unions;
but it is only where there is a complete union of the three
phases of love that permanency is to be anticipated or de-
sired. The attempt to compel the incompatible emanations
of the sexes to blend together into continuous and harmoni-
ous lives, is thebeginning of all the discords and inhar—
monies of life, and is also the fruitful cause of disease and
death, because it is the condition in which lust develops
and expends itself.

Viewed in the religious sense, love and lust may be illus-
trated by curses and prayers. Cursing and swearing are
the efforts of the individual to impress himself, (ego,) upon
others, while prayer is the sweet incense of the soul that

, reaches out to find its Creator. So with lust. It vents it-

self without care for man or God; it regards only self, it is
self, personified; the utter cutting off of self from all about
it, and wrapping it in its own mantle regardless of whom
it falls upon or injures; but love is the offering of the soul
which seeks a perfect resting place; gently, sweetly, per-
haps ardently, but never rudely. It approaches its object
with reverence and gratitude as well as love. Indeed the
highest love isablendiug of all the attributes of human
nature, seeking to be at-one with their Creator; seeking
for divinity and finding it, if it meet response. To love
perfectly is to love divinely; andto love divinely is to learn
of God, for God is perfect love, which casteth out fear.
The solution of the difficult problem of the relations of the
sexes then, is to be found in the understanding of the laws
of temperamental attraction and repulsion, which are the
laws of God, and not in the enforcement of a written law,
which is the work of man. God made the law that is writ-
ten in the heart and in the understanding; and mans’
attempts to improve upon it have ever been, and will ever
be, failures. . -*

‘ Or——-4-

HE, SHE, OR IT.

 

 

We have received. several letters from "our friends criti-
cizing the use that we make of the term God, or rather in

the use of the personal pronoun, He, referring to A God.’

We do not wonder that objections are made to the practice
from which the tyranny over women has arisen. It is true
that all the religions of the world, save the Catholic, have
been male religions only. But we have defined_ our use. of

the word God so definitely, that the objections that might‘

apply, if we had not done so, do not apply in our case.
If the world use a term contrary to its true significance,
and out of its natural relations,'it should not be a valid
objection against its proper use by the few. This was the
objection that both Mr. Tilton and Mr. Beecher raised
against the use of the term “ free love ” to designate free-
dom for the afiections. But we did not see the force of
these arguments, and have wrested the n'1uch~abused words
from the mob by whom they were held to stand for en-

forced lust, and enshrined them in the hearts of the pure’

and good, as representative of all that is holy in the re-
lations of the sexes. ,

The male and female principles are everywhere distin-
guished respectively by the personal pronouns, he, she, his
and her’s, him and her; and also as thepositive and nega-
tive. poles of the creative battery. The positive power
which permeates and works through matter is the male

7 principle, and is, therefore, properly designated by the

male pronouns. The negative substance which is worked
upon, and through which all creation is externalized, is
 is the earth; and is properly designated by the

ishe discovered that the climate unpleasantly affected her

female pronouns. It certainly would not be correct to
use the neuter pronoun, it, to speak of either, because it
would not convey the truth. i The creative power is the
male principle. It is this which impregnates and makes
fruitful; that which is impregnated and bears the fruit is
the receptive or the negative principle, and this is feminine,
always. These, then, wherever they are found, whether
in the divisions or in the whole of natural existence, are
designated. properly by the personallpronouns. The pro-
noun, it, can be used properly only when it refers to some-
thing that in and of itself has no gender, is neither a male
or female.‘ This certainly could not be used properly to
refer to God or matter. As there are no other words which
can be used, we think it eminently proper to use he, his and
him in the place of God; and her, her’s and her in the place
of the earth. God stands related to matter, as a whole,
in the same way that man stands related to woman as a
sex ; or, as thte_individual man to the individual woman.

The difficulty is not with God, but with ‘man. Man has
subjugated woman, and refusesor neglects to set her free.
Womeii, as well as these men who recognize the wrongs of
woman, feeling this, rebel against the application to God of
the pronoun which represents her master; but the rebellion
should be against the master; against the position which
she is forced to occupy by man, rather than against the
creating power of the universe. God is male; the earth is
female. He impregnates the earth with life; and she is
impregnated and bears her fruit to Him.

The ‘following isthe petition that is being circulated for

John A. Lant has, within the last two gmonths, been tried.
convicted and sentenced to eighteen month’s imprisonment
at hard labor, and a fine of $500, in the District Court of as
United States in New York City, upon a charge of publishing

the Toledo Sun; and, believing that said Lant meant no harm

‘n publishing said paper, and that his intent was only to ex-

ercise the freedom of speech and of the press guaranteed to
every American citizen; believing that Lant’s paper con-
tained even less obscenity than every daily paper in New
York and other cities has published month after month,
without any action being taken against them; believing that
the animus of the charge against Lant, the persecution and
ostracism he has received’, arose from the fearless expression
of his honest religious convictions; believing that the powers
of the United States audits courts should not be employed
for this purpose; believing it is too far advanced in the nine-
teenth century for a man in this" centennial year of our na-
tion’s existence to beimprisoned and disgraced for the honest
expression of, and adherence to, what he believes to be the

citizen is already out of all proportion to any ofience he hag
committed, we humbly pray your Excellency to pardon him
out of the Penitentiary at Albany, N. Y., where he is now
confined at hard labor with felons, and to restore him to his

MRS. VVOODHULL IN THE FIELD.

COMMENTS or THE PRESS.
(From the Memphis, Temv.,rAppeaZ, Feb. 8,-1876.)

On Sunday night one of the largest and most thoroughly,

representative audiences ever gathered in the Theatre, in-
cluding, perhaps, one hundred ladies, assembled to hear the
first lecture delivered in Memphis by -Mrs. Victoria 0.
Woodhull. By eight o’clock, at which hour thecurtain was

. raised punctually according to programme, every seat

was occupied. Scanning the auditorium the reporter of the
Appeal saw that the bench and the bar, the press and the
medical profession, as well as the mercantile, the mechanical
and the laboring classes, were fully and ably represented,
and that the faces of all present indicated, especially after
the fair lecturess made her appearance, a very tension of in-
terest. Mrs. Woodhull entered upon the work before her
withoutjntroduction or preliminary, indeed,almost abruptly.
This, however, was pardonable in view of the visible effect
her apearance worked, and when itis remembered that she
had hardly opened her mouth to speak ere her mastery, so to
speak, was confessed. Her toilet was plain, but rich and be-
coming. Her dress, composed of brown velvet and brown
silk, was made up in, the latest style of pull-back, and pro-
perly trimmed, relieved only by linen collar and cuffs, the
absence of jewelry being conspicuous. Her hair was put up
in the plain “club” style of the day, and altogether she pre-
sented a quiet, decorous, lady-like appearance. At first her
words came slowly, deliberately, indeed nervously; but once
fairly launched upon her theme, the flow of ideas and words
was steady and rapid, both occasionally/merging into periods
as startling as eloquent and beautiful as any ever delivered
by the best orators of our language. At times she reached
the loftiest flight of forensic effort and roused her audience
from the repose of a death-like stillness to most enthusiastic
applause. Every point she made was caught by the audience

and, as our reporter has indicated, was greeted as it deserved._

Five or six times this applause was delivered with unusual
fervor,and with an enthusiasm that surprised even those most
favorably inclined toward the lecturer who so nobly contended
for her sex, and at the close, when after what seemed vain
efforts on her part to take her leave, she finally bade adieu,
the most deafening and prolonged shouts recalled her again
and again to receive the warm and generous plaudits of those
who had listened with pleasure and profit to one of the most
logical and able lectures ever delivered in Memphis upon any
subject—if not the ablest. She answered every call until at
last, breaking throug hall form and ceremony hundreds, both
old and young, stepped upon the stage and personally con-
gratulated her upon her success, each one giving assurances
of satisfaction and gratification. Among these were many
ladies, and most conspicuous of all were the young men-—
gentlemen of position and culture—-some of whom failing of
opportunity on the stage, followed her to the hotel, and
through the media of ordinary introduction expressed to her
the most unbounded gratitude for the instruction she had
given them. ‘One such embassy we ourselves witnessed, and
confess it not the least of the delightful surprises the evening
produced for Mrs. Woodhull. Hundreds of her portraits and
pamphlet copies of her lectures were eagerly purchased, and
the audience evidenced in every way possible a most respect-
ful consideration for this woman whose heroism they gener-
ously confessed. Of her lecture, a full report of which we
append, there can be but one opinion: Every word of it is
true, and the only difference there can be between our readers
and the lecturer is as to the propriety of such plain talk upon
questions so delicate and hitherto wrapped in the mystery of
silence. Without committing ourselves as to that one way or
the other, we give it as follows, as part of the absorbing news
cs the day:

[Here followed an almost verbatim report of theiwhole
lecture] ‘

[From the Melnphis (’1‘eam.) Ledger, Feb. 7, 1876.]

The fame of Mrs. Victoria C. Woodhull and the publication
of her peculiar views on social science through the press of
the city during the past few days brought together at the
theatre last night a very large, respectable, intelligent and
cultivated audience. In fact, the theatre was crowded to ex-
cess, many ladies gracing the scene with their presence.

At eight o’clock the drop curtain was rung up, and Mrs.
Woodhull walked out from behind the scenes and approached
the foot-lights amid no little sensation and encouraging ap-
plause from all parts of the house. Mrs. Woodhull is a fine,
earnest-looking woman, possessing a ‘well-shaped. form, in-
telligent face, acquiline nose, and expressive mouth. She
was clad in a dark brown silk velvet dress, heavily. fringed
with black lace; a small white collarcircled her throat; all
jewelry was discarded; white linen cuffs, fastened withjet
buttons, encircled her wrists. Her hair is dark brown,. cut

short in front, and was destitute of crimps, but it was tied up.

in folds or knots behind. She was dressed for a lecture, and
gazing over the sea of faces, she commenced "her discourse,
in a voice slightly tremulous and emotional, by reading from
a Bible which she held in her hand:

with a paragraph equally commendatory as that ‘of the Ap-

EDITORIAL. ‘
Many ‘gentlemen and ladies who heard Mrs. Woodhull’s
lecture at the Memphis Theatre Sunday night, were so well
pleased that a petition was circulated yesterday, requesting
her to repeat the lecture, and a number of signatures had
been obtained before it was discovered that Mrs. Woodhull

and Miss Claflin had left for Nashville on the early train.

 

(From the Dispatch, K okomo, Ind., Feb. 3, 1876.)

One of the largest and most highly educated lecture audi-
ences of the season filled the Opera House, on last Friday
evening, to hear Mrs. Victoria C. Woodhull deliver her cele-
brated lecture, “ The True and the False, Socially.” It was
noticeable that the audience was about equally composed of
the male and female elements. Prejud_1ce and mock modesty,
doubtless, deterred a few delectable individuals from enjoy-
ing one of the very ablest lectures every delivered in this
city. Promptly at eight o’olock Mrs. Woodhull stepped be-
fore the foot-lights and began he_r lecture. For two hours
shepoured hot shot into the shoddy rampants of a diseased
and debauched moral and social fabric. As she progressed
in her lecture her face flushed with inspiration and herwhole
being was aglow with the enthusiasm and sentiment of her
topic. She piled fact upon fact, argument upon argument,
in arapid flow of impassioned eloquence. She drove home
many wholesome facts that the world afiects to disbelieve but
knows full well. She denied; free love as the world under-
stands the term. Her free love, she said, was the free love of
God to the world. She said she had been traduced, vilified,
misrepresented, and imprisoned for-maintaining the right.
To the world that has hated her and tried to crush her, -she
now offers her bleeding heart in love. She said thatthose
who’ knew her in a false light should yet know her as she ‘is’;
those that hated her should yet love her; and the world that
refused to listen to her story should yet accept her truths and

become reformed from social and moral degradation. Mrs.
Wo0dhull’s lecture was able and full of truths. Those who
went to hear a coarse woman were happily disappointed. Mrs.
Woodhull is a handsome, unostentatious, honest-appearing
woman of wide learning and great depth of mind. She talks
as a mocher who knows the joys and sorrows of maternity,
as a woman who has suffered much for her principles, asa
representative of her sex who is boldly breasting public
opinion for the promulgation of a great social reformation.
She made many friends in Kokomo and removed a false
prejudice that had long been entertained against her. All

GEMS FROM FOURIER.

WHAT To Do WITH THE BOYS; THE “ HOODLUM ” PROBLEM
’ SOLVED; THE “LITTLE HORDES” AND THE “LITTL
_BANDS.” “

About two-thirds of boys are inclined to filthiness; they de-
light to wallow in the mire and play at handling nasty things;
they are surly, headstrong, ribald, adopting a roifizh tone and
gross expressions, raising uproar, braving dangers and in-
clemencies of weather, and committing havoc for port.

These children (in Unitary Homes or the Combined Order)
are enrolled in the “Little Hordes,” the employment of which
is to exercise, as a point of honor and with intrepidity, all

‘repugnant labor which would degrade a class of workmen.

This corporation is a. species of half-savage legion which con-
trasts with the refined politeness of Harmony only in tone
and not in sentiment; for it is the most ardent in patriotism.’

The other third of the boys, with about two-thirds of the girls
have a. taste for good manners and peaceful functions. They
are enrolled in the “Little Bands.” On the other hand, one-
third of the girls have masculine inclinations, liking to in-
troduce themselves into the plays of boys, which they are for-
bidden to frequent; (“tom-boys.”) Thus one-third of girls
enrol themselves in the “Little Hordes.” (VI, 206-47.

‘ The “Little Hordes” are the focus of all civic virtues; they
should employ for the welfare of society that self-abnegation
recommended by Christianity and that contempt of riches
recommended by philosophy. (The latter refers to the per-
mission supposed to be given in the Combined Order to the
members of this body to fill from their own earnings sundry
gaps of a pecuniary nature which _might. otherwise cause
discord.) .

They should practice all virtues dreamed of and simulated
in civilization. Conservators of the social honor, it is theirs
to crush the serpent’s head, physically and morally. In
purging the country of reptiles, they purge society of a poi-
son worsethan the viper; they stifle by their treasures all
risk of cupidity which might trouble concord; and by their
unclean labors they stifle that pride which", by despising an
industrious class, tends to bring back the spirit of caste,
change the general amity and hinder the fusion of classes.
It is one of bases of the Societary mechanism, which is
founded on-

Industrial attraction; equitable division;
Unison of classes; equilibrium of population.

It would seem that to obtain from childhood such prodigies
of virtue we must use supernatural means, as do our monas-
teries, which by very austere noviciates habituate the neo-
phyte to self-abnegation; but exactly the opposite course
will be followed. *  * * Let us analyze the springs of
those virtues; they are four, all reproved by [existing]
morality: They are the tastes for filth, pride, impudence and
insubordination. It is in their addiction to these pretended
vices that the “ Little Hordes ” are elevated to the practice
of the highest virtues. * * * * Their’s is the high police
of the animal kingdom, watching in the slaughter-houses to
see that no one makes any beast suffer, but gives him the
easiest death. Whoever, of any age, maltreats any animal
is liable to be brought before the “Little Hordes.”-—(VI,
211-12.)

slaughter-houses would be unnecessary, owing to the superior
quality of vegetable foods obtainable by unitary cultivation.
THE “ LITTLE BANDS.”

As the “Little Hordes” maintain social concord. so the
“Little Bands” maintain social charm. The former reach
the beautiful by way of the good; the latter the good by way
of the beautiful. The “ Little Bands,” are composed of about
two-thirds girls and one-third boys. They addict themselves to
the care of animals difliicult to raise and train; their’s is the
high police of the vegetable kingdom: whoever breaks a
branch of a tree, gathers flowers or fruit mal apropos, or
carelessly tramples on a plant, is brought before the senate of
the ‘_‘ Little Bands.” They are charged with ornamental; it
is their duty to censlire bad language and vicious pronuncia-
tion.—-(VI, 214-18.)

REMARK BY A SPIR1’.[‘.—IS it not beautiful to-contem-
plate these possibilities of a future which may be within the
reach-and ken of many now living in the form, even of
adults, which are so far within the province of the present
that almost we can stretch forth our hand and
grasp them? Blessed be the men who have had the cour-
age and the foresight, the eye of seer and the soul of poet,
thus to throw out in sight of the many those high, heroic,
emotions and impulses which are more than mere poetry,
because they can be actualized, and more than practice be-
cause they are the ideals of which the practical can only be
the imperfect embodiment. Thus marrying the ideal to the
practical they help the race to steps which will ere long
become strides in a. progress which will know no halts and
no backslidings. ‘

But the power to incarnate in the actual was wanting in
Fourier; and the times demand those who can supplement

this defect step forward! Those can best do this who are
most conscious of the difiiculties whichvbeset the transition.

 

BISHOP HAVEN.
“Warrington” writes the Springfield Rmublvlcan, a letter
wherein he says of Bishop Haven;-7“ He knows everybody,
'I‘i1ton.and Beecher equally well. He is as strict a marriage

men as Greeley was, but implicitly believes that, if the white

man and, black woman desire to intermarry, the State should
not interfere. I got. information or surmise as to the Brook-
lyn scandal from him longbefore Mrs. Woodhull made her
invincible statement; and now it is no wonder that he tells
Mr. Blackwell that, if Mr. Beecher makes his appearance as
a. “sufl'ragist” on the platform, he (Haven) steps ofl".. The
Bishop cannot stand’ everything, and he knows that even

Have you seen the Wonderful Type-
Writing Macliinel

 

because of the drudgery of the pen. The Type-
Writer has found rapid acceptance wherever intro-
duced, and has fully sustained the claim that its work
is twice as fast, three times as easy and five times
legible as that of the pen. It paragraphs, punctuates,
underscores and does figure work—in a word, all
things necessary to the production of a perfect manu-
script. Any sizeor quality of paper may be used, and
the most satisfactory results obtained, at a saving in
time and strength of at least one hundred per cent
The Type-Writer “manifolds ” fifteen copies at once,
and its Work can also be copied in -the ordinary
copy-press.
READ THE FOLLOWING INDORSEMENTS.

What Mr. Jenny, of the New York Tribune, says
about it:

NEW YORK, June 10, 1875.
DENSMORE, YOST & Co.:

Gentlemen——I am an earnest advocate of the Type-
Writer. Having thoroughly tested its practical Worth,
I find it a complete writing machine, adapted to a wide
range of work. The one I purchased of you several
weeks since has been in daily use, and gives perfect
satisfaction. I can write with it more rapidly and
legibly than with a pen, and with infinitely greater
ease. Wishing you success commensurate with the
merits of your wonderful and eminently useful in-
vention, I am, respectfully yours,

E. H. JENNY.

OFFICE or DUN, BARLOW & Co., COM. AGENCY, }
335 BROADWAY, New York, Dec. 8, 1874.

G‘entlemen—The Type-Writers we purchased of you
last June for our New York, Albany and Buffalo
ofhces have given such satisfaction that we desire you
to ship machines immediately to other of our offices
at Baltimore, Cincinnati, Detroit. Hartford, Louisville,
Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and no more to our New
York ofiice, 335 Broadway.

We think very highly of the machine, and hope you
will meet with good success. Respectfully yours,

DUN, BARLOW «St CO.

OEEICE or‘ WESTERN UNION TELEGRAPH Co.,
_ CHICAGO, July 8, 1874.
DENSMORE, YosT & Co.:

G-entlemen—Haviiig had the Type-Writer in use in
my ofiice during the past two years, I do not hesitate
to express my conviction of its great value. Its best
recommendation is simply to say that it is a complete
writing machine. The work of writing can be done
with it faster, easier and with a better result than is
possible with the pen. The time required to learn its
use is not Worth mentioning in comparison with the
advantages afforded by the machine. Yours truly.

, ANSON STAGER.

What Governor Howard of Rhode Island says:

PHENIX, R. I., March 27, 1875.

DENSMORE, YosT & Co.: -
Cr*entlemen—We have now had the Type-Writer about
a month, and are entirely satisfied with it. There can
be no doubt in regard to its usefulness. When I saw
the advertisement of the machine originallylhad little
faith in it. An examination surprised me, but not so
much as the practical working has. We have no
trouble whatever with it. and it is almost constantly
in operation. I think that it must rank with the great
beneficial inventions of the century. Very truly

yours, HENRY HOWARD.

Monnisrowri, June 29, 1875.
DENSMORE, YosT & Co.:_

Gentlemen——Tlie Type-Writer which I bought of you
last March I have used ever since, and I wish to ex-
press my sense of its very great practical value. In
the first place, it keepsin the most perfect order, never
falling in doing its work. I find also, after having
used it for four months, that I am able to write twice
as fast as with the pen, and with far greater ease. The
mechanical execution has become -so far instiiiczive
that it takes far less of the atteiition of the mind than
was the case with the pen, leaving the whole power of
the thought to be concentrated on the composition,
the result of which is increased vigor and strength of
expression. The result is also so far better than the
old crabbed chirography that it is a great relief both
to myself and to my correspondents. The sermons
written in this way are read with perfect ease by in-
valids and those who for any cause are kept from
church on Sunday, which fills a want often felt by
ministers. And altogether. if I could not procure
another, I would ‘not part with this machine for a
thousand dollars; in fact, I think money is not to be
weighed against the relief of nerve and brain that it
brings. Yours, very truly, ~

BY KERSEYGRAVES, _
Author of “The Biograpliyof Satan ”_an_d “The Bible
of Bibles ” (cmnprtszng a description of

This wonderful and exhaustive volume by Mr. Graves
will, we are certain, take high rank as a book of refer-
ence in the field which he has chosen for it. The
amount of mental labor necessary to collate and com-
pile the varied information contained in it must have
been severe and arduous indeed, and now that it is in
such convenient shape the student of free thought will
not willingly allow it to go out of print. But the book
is by no means a mere collation of views or statistics:.
throughout its entire course the author—as will be
seen by his title-page and ‘chapter-heads—follows a
definite line of research and argumentgto the close,
and his conclusions go, like sure arrows, to the mark.

TRUE LOVE;

Whvat it is and What it is not »

BY A. BniCd—s DAvis'.

With an Append-ix. This is a pamphlet of 27 pages.
Sound thinkers have already admitted it to rank with
the ablest intellectual efforts of the age. Its views on
the great theological absurdities of denominationa\.
Christianity, on Socialism, and on Love and Marriage
are at once novel and sound. The work is a challenge
to thinkers the world over. All minds seeking rest in
absolute truths of religion, life and love should read
this little book. -

The Appendix and Poems are worth the price of the

book. The first edition being nearly exhausted, an-

other is in preparation. . ,

In this work is shown the only possible hope for
Communism on this,earth. _ N0—re‘ader of Mrs. Wood-
hull’s late articles can afford to remain ignorant of
what is here boldly flung out to the thinking world.

by travelers by other routes to Chicago from the East or West in transferring from depot to depot. is saved
by passengers by this route to get their meals—-an advantage over all other routes which deservedly makes
it the most popular and the best patronized line of travel across the Continent.
