THIS EDITORIAL SUPERINTENDENT,
To the Editor of the Evening Star, Sm, —I see in your issue of last night a short letter headed “ Our Contemporary,” professedly written by an old woman, and the production quite characteristic of its authorship. Wliat is ostensibly proposed is a combination among the old women to get up a requisition to the editor of the Turns for him to come forward and (ill the “ awful vo'd ” that is felt regarding the Superb.tendency. Ido not agree, no not for one mom nt, with the cnfraucli sement of women, old or young. It lea Is them out of their own proper sphere of action, and induces them to invade ours, a combination for such a purpose as specified would be nothing short of a conspiracy ; but when their propositions Lie c sense, and bid defiance to all philosophy, should their reveries be tolerated ’! old “Sony Jump,” for that is clearly the name in pure English, does not understand phy-ves any more than polltki. I f you add ever so many cyphers together the sum total can only be a cypher; and if you fill a “ void ” with a vacuiey—admitting the possibility—does it not remain a void still V Coxais! encv. Bell Tower, January nth, 187 L
