From the IndianapolisJournal.
Mrs. Elizabeth Boynton Harbert,
of Evanston, 111., spoke yesterday
afternoon in Chosen Friends' Hall on
the "Statesmanship of Woman." As
to the claim made as to the statesnian-
Jiko qualities of women, she cited
numerous illustrations, among them
stlie mother of the Gracchi; Asrasia,
the instructress of Socrates; Hvpatia,
who arrived at such a pitch of learn-
ing as to excel all the philosophers of
her time; Laura Bassi, Deborah,
Miriam aud Esther, Carmenta, Mar-
cia, who was the author of trial by
jury and laws relating to property
afterward collated bv the Saxon
King Alfred; Catherine II. of Russia,
everywhere recognized as one of the
foremost in statesmanship in the
world, notwithstanding the stain that
rests upon her name in the dismem-
berment of Poland, wh» abolished
the secret inquisition ot chancery who
made Russia in her time I he only re-
fuge in Europe were political offend-
ers could find safety, and who propos-
ed the liberation of the serfs, which
could not be .done in her day, but
was carried .to fruition by her great-
grandson. Alexander II.
Mrs. Harbert cited numerous oth-
ers, among whom were Catharine, of
Swedden; Elizabeth, of England;
Victoria, ami others. In American
history she mentioned Abigail Adams,
Mercy Otis Warren, Lvdia Maria
Chillis, Anna I)ickin«on and others,
among them Harriet Iieecher Stowe,
who "wrote, a n»teon agonized, ami
the slave was fuse." Considerable
time was devoted to Anna El a Car*
.roll, in support to her claim to having
lucuishcd President LiucoJu aud his
Cabinet the suggestion and plan of
the Tennessee campaign, which struck
the Confederacy in its vital part, aud
was the beginning of the operations
that resulted in the subjugation of the
rebel ion. Mrs. Harbert showed that
her claim to the statesmanship of
woman was one substantially found-
ed, being based upon the mother
instinct for government. She believed
that if the mothers of the country
could realize the crime that might be
repressed or averted if their influence
were felt in government, they would
not maintain the apathy many of
them now flo. The woman question
is the question of humanity, it is the
solicitude of the mothers of the na-
tion for the sons and daughters of the
country.
The Bad Book Agent.
A Philadelphia book agent import-
tuned James Watsou, a rich and close
New York man living at Elizabeth,
until he bought a book—the "Early
Christian Martyrs." Mr. Watson
didn't want the book, but he bought
it to get rid of the agent; then, taking
it under his arm, he started to the
train which takes him to his New
York office.
Mr. Watson hadn't been gone long
before Mrs. Watson came home from
a neighbor's. The book agent saw
her and went and pursuaded the wife
to buy another copy of the same
book. She was ingorant of the lact
that her husband had bought the
same book in the morning. When
Mr. Watson came back from New
York Mrs. Watson showed him the
book.
"I don't want to see it," said Wat-
son, frowning terribly.
"Why, husband ?" asked his wife.
"Because that rascal book agent
sold me the same hook this morning.
Now we have two copies of the same
book—two copies of the 'Early Chris-
tian Martyrs,' and "
"But, husband, we can "
"No, we can't either ! interrupted
Mr. Watson. "The man is oft'on the
train before this. Confound it! I
could kill the feliow. I "
"Why there he goes to the depot
now." said Mrs. Watson, pointing out
of the window at the retreating form
of the book agent making for the
train.
"But it's too late to catch him, and
I'm not dressed. I've taken of oft' my
boots, and
Just then Mr. Stevens, a near
neighbor of Mr. Watson, drove by,
when Watson, pounded on the win-
dow pane in a frantic manner, almost
frightening the horse.
"Here, Stevens," he 6houted, "you're
hitched up; wont you run your horse
down to the train and hold that book
agent till I come? Run! Catch 'em
now ?"
"All right, "said Mr. Stevens, whip-
ping up his horse and tearing down
the road.
Mr. Stevens reached the train just
as the conductor shouted. "All
aboard!"
"Book agent!" he veiled, as the
book agent stepped on the train.
"Bookagent! hold on! Mr. Watson
wantfc to see you!"
"Watson! Watson wants (o see
me ?" repiied the seemingly puzzled
book agent. "Oh, I know what 1>«
wants flie wants to buy one of my
books; but I can't miss the train to
sell it to him."
'Tt that is all he wants, I can pay
for it aud take it back to him. How
much is it?"
"Two dollars for the 'Early Chris-
tain Martyrs,"' said the book agent,
as lie reached for the money and
passed the book out through the car
window.
Just then Mr. Watson arrived,
putting aud blowing, in his shirt
slcaves. As he saw the train pull out
he was too full for utterance.
'Well I got it for vou,
said
Stevens, "just got it, and that's all,"
"Got What?'yelled Watson.
"Why, I got the book, "Early
Christian Martyrs* and "
"By—the—great—guns!" moaned
Wat .on, as he placed his hands to his
brow and swooned right in themid-
'tle of the street.
