re. In Pennsylvania a man has got but one vote, while a
woman has three--her husband's and her two sons'. Eve tried to
get over the temptation, but she could not; and so, after many
efforts, she clutched the apple she looked at so, and so, and she
reached out to it; afraid at first, but at last she laid hold of
it, and, seeing that her fear was over, she kissed its lovely
cheek. Then she ran to Adam, and said it was good, and he ate of
it. Then his eyes were opened and he saw he was naked, and ran
and hid himself. He tried to hide himself among the bushes, but
he could not deny the eating of it, because the core was sticking
in his throat, and it is sticking there still; but woman has not
got the core sticking in her throat. Well, Adam pretended to be
innocent, like all the rest of mankind, and said it was not he,
but the woman that did it. No, no; it was not his fault, it was
the woman who gave it to him. Oh, yes! he was not to blame, no
more than any lord of creation. Well, then, there was a curse
upon him; but there was a promise to woman that her seed should
bruise the head of the serpent with her heel. (Shouts of
laughter).

Mrs. NICHOLS: As to the text which says that woman must obey her
husband, surely that is no reason why she should obey all the
bachelors and other women's husbands in the community. My husband
would have me advocate the claims I do, therefore by the logic of
our cause my husband wishes me to vote, and, according to the
Scripture, the gentleman must, even in his own reasoning, allow
me the right to vote. In one place the gentleman said that woman
had already turned the world over; and that man must be cautious
not to allow her to do so again. Perhaps, if he reconsidered
these statements he might be willing to retract the latter;
because, if she turned the world over once and put the wrong side
up, he ought now to allow her to turn it back, that she may bring
the right side up again.

Mrs. ROSE said: As to the personal property, after all debts and
liabilities are discharged, the widow receives one-half of it;
and, in addition, the law kindly allows her her own wearing
apparel, her own ornaments, proper to her station, one bed, with
appurtenances for the same; a stove, the Bible, family pictures,
and all the scho
