In searching for a new topic to present to the reader, the reporter hopes lie has found one in the wages paid to working-girls, and how they manage to live on these wages. In order to throw some light upon the subject, we offer the subjoined interview with a sensible, level-headed girl who works in an office iu Cincinnati. “My work is mostly writing letters and helping to keep tlie books of my employer, who does a business Os upwards of $75,000 a year. I receive $7 a week. I have no means of support except by my own work. My parents are both d'lad, and left no estate above what was necessary tt> pay a few debts. At the age of 15 years I started square with tLe world, and have held my own for five years, although I confess it has lieen a qoutinnal struggle. “There are a thousand gills in Cincinnati situated just as’l am. struggling nn day after day tn keep body ffiid soul together, with no future, as far as the human eye can discover, worth living for. There are many not half so well situated as I am. and God inly knows how they live. As long as I keep my health I have enough, with none to spare; but hundreds of poor girls go to bed hungry every night in Cincinnati I honestly believe. I know girls who work for $4 a wqpk. Servant girls often get more than this, and they have no board to pay. It wool Ibe a sadlvinteresting chapter if you could tell just boy. a girl contrives to keep her- , self in clothes, board he-sols and pay rent on si a week. On the wages I receive every penny has to count/’ The question was asked how these girls lived on'tliis sfnall sum. “I’m sure I don’t kndw how some of them exist. A few girls of my acquainted live at home and have no rent to pay. There are others who receive a little assistance from their fathers or brothers. But there are many who live on this sum, and support themselves without assistance from rnv source. I know how some of them manage it. Three or four (and in some cases I know where six) girls have pooled together, and live in one room, thus making the rent small on each one. j hey pretend to take their meals at cheap restaurants, but really they are obliged to do most of their own" cooking. Economy could go no further than is practiced by some of the work-ing-girls in Cincinnati. St ivingday by day as some of these girls do, is it any wonder that an occasional one of the number yields to the temptations of an- ' other mode of life that is almost continuously before their eyes? The wonder is that virtue is so strong.” At the request of the reporter the young lady gave her expense account for a year, which is as follows: Salary one rear. 32 weeks; at »7 a week . f. 364 Deduct one week lost time estimated).. 7 $357 Board and room . s;<w Coal, extra 10 Clothing St Church 10 Carlarc ............................... »~33? Balance tl9 “You can well imagine.” said the

young lady, “that this balance of sl9 is ; consumed in medicine and other necessary expenditures. Out of it I buy the ’ Enquire? every Sunday morning, and I drop an occasional niekle to some poor beggar on the street, who seems to have a harder struggle with the world than I have myself.— Cincinnati Enquirer. THE GARRETT KH M OS. Address of Judge Lowry on the Occasion. Soldiers, and Ladies and Gentlemen:—Summoned here by telegraph, without knowing more of the object of the call than that here to-day were to be congregated, and, for the time reunited, a large body of the surviving brave men, who responded in an infinitely greater emergency, but. in many i cases, equally short notice, to the call I of their country, it yet affords me unalloyed pleasure to be with you on the i joyous occasion. It is one appointed, as ■ I understood it„l’or the re-exchange of I greetings amongst old comrades in arms upon the tented field, and to renew the memories and re-cement the friend- | ships born of a common experience of ' deprivation and suffering, of cruel be- | ' reayements in the loss of love.i ano i loving Comrades, but, at length, of gioi rious victory, in the signal triumph of i the armies of the Union. Being myself a witness at one of the i great conventions of that day, to the ■ manifestation of qne of the unfortui nate—indeed, the most chimerical of i all the delusions that led to the iucep- ; I tion of the great struggle in which you I afterward engaged—it became my lot, I in an humble but most emphatic way, to endeavor to dispel that delusion by i conjuring parties laboring under its in- i feetion to believe that so surely as the i people of this favored land nurtured in | their breasts a feeling of devotion to ! the great doctrine of “liberty regulati ed by law,” so surely would they, in I case of resistance to its laws and law- | fully constituted authorities, be found i standing solidly together in the major portion of the republic —their arms ! counting by millions while their hearts I beat as one. How magnificently was 1 the humble prophecy realized I With | what deep solicitude we all of us | watched its .fulfillment! Party lines ; disappeared as suddenly as if by the spell of the magician’s wand. With rare exceptions, even the spirit of sac- I L tion was hushed. Great diversity of ! views existed as to the incidental policies to be pursned. but with us, old and voung alike, “marched under the flag, and kept step to the music of the Union,” and as, full of lusty life, bouyant I with hope, exultant with the lofty | spirit of patriotism, you now surviving | veterans and your compatriots, bound- j ed to the front. “The wife whose babe first smiled that day; The fair yonmt bride of Vester eve; And aitrd sire, and matron Kray, Saw the young warrior haste away. And deemed it sin to grieve.” * That there were anguished partings is most true. And heroes, no less than heroines, there were, who, perforce, remained at home. The devoted father with heaving breast and stifled sobs, pronouncing, perhaps for the last time, a parent's blessing upon the head of his only,or possibly only renaming:son as he hastened him forward to the field where duty celled, but which, alas! might prove to be that of his sepulchre; the mother well-nigh choking with illysuppressed grief, while in hurried words inspiring with brave thoughts her darling boy as she imprinted on his youthful and manly brow her parting kiss; the wife who. amid the cries and | tears of her little ones, herself with al- , most bursting heart, spoke to her de- ; parting husband words of cheer; the I maiden hitherto so coy. now encircling her lover with his sash, the while archly dissembling her anguish as she stealthily removes the pearly teardrop from her downeast lids, to implant upon that lover’s lips, with all possible appearance of fortitude, the pure pledge, and, possibly, last fond token of her young heart's warm affection—these w ere each and all partakers in the experiences and the sacrifices of war. and challenged, in their sphere, a share of our patriotic sympathy and ad‘miration.

And ye who actually went forward ’ in patriotic ardor to do duty upon the “perilous edge of battle!” Ye who went 1 in any Spirit of commercial pariotism, nor as men are waut to do 1 in otlrer ventures and different spheres of life, risking something in the hope of gaining more. You risked all without any prospect of personal gain to youri selves, your only incentives being the ; vindication of the honor of your country, and the preservation of the integri.ty of her soil. How our hearts and : hopes followed you on the weary ; march: in the crowded camp; when ■ languishing in dreary hospitals, or con- ■ fined in the loathesome prison-house; j yes, and upon those numerous fields of I strife surrounded by the ravages of i war! There we beheld ye, dauntless I and brave, while the glittering bayonet Hashed before you, and the bullets whizzed around, and the red-breathed artillery belched forth with maddening roar the terrible missiles which carried in their pathway such appalling destruci tion that even the very thought of it j almost begets bewilderment. It Ixiots now to tell of your high re- ’ ' gard for discipline; of your patience in i time of disaster; of your magnanimity lin the hour of conquest; of your selfsacrificing devotion; of your individual . disregard of danger ami your collective intrepid valor, or of the glorious halo ' of lustre with which, by your bearing. ■ your bravery, and your achievements, i you have encircled the very name of America. An hundred admiring pens . have already inextricably interwoven | i all this into the story of your country's , history. As for those who perished, either in the strife of battle, or in any | of the myriad formsin -which death is , wont to come to the subjects of so many hardships, though their breasts may never more know the delights which you now enjoy; though they shall not again hear the stirring blast of the bugle-call as it may summon you here to-day to your places in the ranks of mimic battle; yet, when all of us shall have disappeared from earth,their ; memories w ill be treasured up and held sacred by succeeding generations: and when many another year has come and gone the mute historians which have sprung up, as outgrowths of living affection, in every cemetery ami village church-yard where reposes their hallowed dust, shall carry down on their marble tablets to the ages yet to lie the proud, though plaintive, story of each heroic career. How, now. as to onr appreciation of the survivors? Heroes, you are of the passing—demi-gods as your numbers gradually diminish, will those of you be who linger amongst the coming generations. Your brave swords have preserved, intact, the great temple of freedom constructed by the valor of those who, w hether lineally descended from them or not. in the heraldry of freedom may lie justly claimed as your ancestry. A grateful people gladly pour their treasure into the laps of those of you who most suffered in the glorious cause. Distant, far distant, be the day when they shall either give grudgingly of , their store or unduly diminish the jrs’. i provision. Y’ou ask not prodigality. A manly spirit of independence forbids your seeking aught merely in the way of lieuefaction. You would have, so far as it can be made, meet recompense, e mply for physical disability incurred when in the line of duty serving the

, common and sacred cause. AVise politI ical economy justifies ami justice de- : mauds this. I forego anathema. Oth- ' erwise the voice of a generous people 1 might well be expressed in the exclamation : Withered be the lips, palsied the tongue, of Idm who. in the service of parsimony, shall gainsay your right to receive and enjoy this righteous reward. A Serious Complication. “I see by the papers that a minister out West has been bounced for refusing to pay a gambling debt.” observed the religious editor, as he dropped into the managing editor’s sanctum to borrow a i pipeful of tobacco. “Any particular in- ' structions as to the way in w hich the i subject should be handled?" I “I’d be a little tender with him,” rei plied the managing editor, measuring out the tobaeeo. “Tin' church is very I sensitive, and I wouldn’t rub him hard. Yon might say that, he was roped in by i the ungodly, and that he was penitent i and resigned on account of his health.’’ “They’d hip us the first rattle,” re- ■ turned the religious editor, “because the game was with two deacons,and the par- ' son made a bitter fight against being j fired, claiming that the card were stia k- : ed on him, and that his opponents used the missionary monev to raise him out with.” “I know,” murmured the managing editor, “but it won’t do to say so, you’d | have the whole religious community ' down on us. and the clergy would rare I right up on end. Can’t you intimate that they contemplated uniting his church with another, and that he resigned his pulpit to go to Europe ?” “Won't do at all,” clamored the reli gious editor. “On the trial he knocked . over a policeman who was called in t< keep order, and he’s now in jail. We ought to get somewhere near the facts. “That's so,” muttered the managing editor! “If we don't say something about it. the ministers will be down here in - a body to-morrow; and if we give it straight there’ll be a fearful row. Look here! Suppose you just say that he failed to reconcile the Atonement with his conscience, and therefore he was Ixuinced. They all like that.” “I don't see how that helps us," growled the religious editor. “He stood | on fours against a flush royal and it was a jack pot. He raised it until the missionary money was up, and saw it with the interest on the church debt. On the show down he was licked, but he grabbed the pot and lit out. Now the question is how you want it commented on." “You can't give it out that he was thrown from a horse, or ran over by a reaping machine, could you?” groaned the managing editor, tearing his hair. “Suppose you say that he was jabbed by a pitchiork! That will fix it.” “No, it won’t,” replied the religions : editor, doggedly. “He's got the money , and won't give it up. Now, w hat shall I say?” “Can't you let him down some how?” moaned the managing editor. “It’ll never do to get the whole Christian population down on us for telling the truth, and they'll drop sure if you doit. | Think of something, can’t you?” “Os course I can.” replied the religious editor, triumphantly. "That's what I was waiting for you to say. I shall simply mention that the brother is accused of eloping with a teacher in the High school. That will please the ladies and make the ministers grin to think he got caught. That lets ns right out.” “Great head!” grinned the managing ; editor, "By your scheme you get in the news and gain the sympathy of the i Christian world for the brother. Great head!” And the two editors separated, well pleased with the simple solution of a question that at first rivaled the Egyptian complication.— Brooklyn Eagle.

Jones" Daughters. A Washington dispatch to the New i Orleans Times-D. moerat says: The bitter attack of the New York Times on ex-Senator Conkling in nn article entitled “Jay Gould's Man,” revives a story once current here in Washington, which explains the hostility of the Times to Conkling. Several years ago George Jones, the proprietor of the 1 Times. was on his way to the national capital with his daughters, and Conkling w as a passenger on the same train. ! Jones was a warm personal friend and admirer of Conkling and had utilized every opportunity to say a kind word about him in his paper. Conkling. ' during the journev from New Y’ork to Washington, passed through the car in • which Jones and his daughters were. ’ Conkling stopped a moment to speak to Jones, and Jones seized the opportunity to introduce Conkling to his daughters. Conkling barely recognized the introduction and, without speaking a word to the young ladies, passed to another car. Jones was mad, so mad,

indeed, that he could scarcely give ut- I terance to his anger. There was no reason why his daughters should l>e treated with such indifference. They were not particularly noted for beauty, but they were fine-looking and stylish, and had the reputation of being very , amiabje and remarkably bright. Jones I said to Tom Murphy, the noted New j Y’ork politician, who was a spectator ot ■ the scene, that Conkling’s manner j amounted to unpardonable rudeness, and that the time would epme when Conkling would regret it. Murphy went into the car where Conkling was and endeavored to induce him to go and make amends for his ungracious conduct ; but Conkling was too proud to ■ admit that he had done anything which ; required the appearance of an opology. From that time to the present the Times had lost no chance to assail Conkling. When Conkling had his Canopchet trouble and was driven off the Sprague estate with a shot-gun.aH the other New Y’ork papers .suppressed the ! story the next day except the Times. Conkling knew better than to ask a favor of Jones. He knew that the story was to be published in the Times, and he w as so anxious about it that he waited until 3 o’clock in the morning to get proof-slips of it from the Times office. : w hich were brought to him by a friend. I It is probable that Conkling has wished many times that he had been more gracious to the Jones girls. Patent Medicines. A Newspaper reporter called upon the largest drug house in New York ; city engaged in the patent medicine trade, to learn how many different articles of the kind were in the market. The reporter was permitted to see a. list of the various preparations on sale. i The numlier of halms for the lungs, | rheumatism, consumption, etc., numbered 46; balsams, 96; stomach bitters, i 106; cordials, 48; catarrh, asthma, skin, i cough,rheumatic,heart,cholera, dyspep- ■ : sia, ague, and other cures, 137; drops, i 48; elixirs, 77: extracts, 131; hair dyes, i 23; hair tonics, 16; liniments, 151; . ! lotions, 34; lozenges, hair oils, and eod • liver oil preparations, 150; ointments, i 87; pills, 312; plasters, 157; powders. . . 163; various remedies, 142; differ.mt i | kinds of hair restorers, 68; salts, 29; f , salves. 75; snuffs, 18; soaps. 120; speci- ' sics, 66; syrups, 188; tablets, 27; tonics. , i 51; troches, 32. and medicinal waters. » 75. Besides these articles there were ' many others with extraordinary names, • and the salesman said that to hi a good . salesman in such an establishment it L , was necessary to remember all Os the > 5,000 different articles in the place

Why Boys Leave the Farm. Numerous writers have been heard from upon the question of why boys leave the farm, and the suggestion has been made that one reason is that the rising generation is becoming depraved. This is not true. They do not leave i the dear old farm, where industry and 1 virtue have their eternal abiding place, to mingle with the mad follies of city life. Boys do not desert the quiet homestead, and the fond parents, whose life has been devoted to their children, for reason that they want to mingle in the giddy whirl of metropolitan life and become sharks in business and immortal society stars. No farmer boy ever forgot in his successful years the quiet home, the sturdy labor or the numberless attractions of that old farm, and during the eares and perplexities of commercial or professional life in a great city there is forever in his heart that picture of contentment and rest, that haven spettre from the storm-tossed billows of uncertain trade and the snares of an artificial existence. Other reasons as varied as the human mind lie at the bottom of this dissatisfaction. The same causes, perhaps, never led two different boys to depert the rural home and flee to the city. ’ AA’e can state why we left the old farm if it would contribute anything to science or aid in settling a long agitat- , ed question.

Our last season on the farm was an 1 unfortune one. The frost didn’t get | out of the ground till haying, and just as the season opened, the old bay mare I became a parent, and the spring plowi ing had to be done with a fractious pajr | ’of mules. We had just become at- f tached to these mules and felt a friend- | i ly interest in them, when a little ine.i- I dent occurred which changed the whole current of our life. We decided one day to roach the irongray mule in order to give him his chic and tone. It would take too long to give the particulars of this occurrence, but suffice it to say that during our convalescence we went into town and secured a position there. AVe did not plunge into the false gaiety of town bej cause w e loved it or becawsb we shunned ! the solemn calm and holy hush of nature in that beautiful valley where we ■ had spent many ha]>py years. Those who accuse us of that, do us an injustice and cast upon us an insinuation which is ill-deserved and unfair. The life of a farmer boy is clonded with many nameless annoyances of i which the great heart of traffic wots ! not. He who has not passed through I it, ought not to write about it, for he I cannot deal with the trouble under- I standingly. If you have been a farmer's j son and have swung an old scythe j all th! forenoon and eome home at noon hot and hungry, wearing an old pair of overalls, of wideh you are a little doubtful, and I an open back shirt, with yonr sunburned spinal column sticking out of it clear ’ down to yonr waistband, and found on : your arrival a sweet little city dumpling dressed in cool muslin there to i greet you and look you over, and smile ■ at your custom and appetite, you can say something perhaps. If yon have i bent your aching form over a two acre field of Early Hose potatoes all day, feeding Paris-green to the voracious striped potato-bug, and then milked nine cows and labored with a primary class of nine calves, trying to teach them how to drink, and experienced the rural joy of being butted over into i the cucumber patch by each one of i them, and then crawled into your bed with sun-peeled nose and blistered hands at night, you know a farmer boy’s communion with nature. It is , i true that machinery in every depart- j ment of agriculture has lent a charm to lit on paper, but still it has its drawI backs and its sorrow s. God forbid that the memories that cluster arottnd the after life of a farmer I bov should lie lost or eradicated, but

I there are little incidents of our career | on the farm that we are endeavoring I with great zeal to forget. They come I i up before us yet sometimes, and in the I dead hours of the quiet night we seem i to be once more kicked through the . barn door by that hoary old mule, or in I our dreams we are out in the midst of ’ , haying, pitching the fragrant grass and 1 rattlesnakes and bumble-bees, and ; crickets, up into the hot hay-mow as we I did in'onr boyhood days. We like to hear rhe curfew toll the hour of parting'day. and we also like to see the lowing herd wind slowly o’er , the lea, but that-mtid hunger fowlife in the hot harvest fields and the thrill and 'i excitement of dawdling away our time around a thrashing machine is gone. Who will say that is because we shun the purity, and honesty, and industry, and $1 per day of the farmer’s J life ? Let him who accuses us of that, step into the Boomerang office and we ' will give him some more reasons, which I lack of space at this time forbids.—Bill ■ ' A’y’e.

A Happy Neighborhood. “Mr Jones,” began Smith the other morning,as they met at a corner to wait for a car, “ is it positively necessary that your son should play the ac--1 cordian until midnight for six nights a week ?” “Not at all, Mr. Smith,” was the prompt reply. “Not any more necessary than it is for your daughter and her beaux to sit on the front steps seven nights per week and keep ns awake until 1 o’clock in the morning.” “ My daughter, sir. has a perfect ' right to have a beaux!” "Ami my son, sir. has a perfect right | to play his accordian 1” "Gentlemen,” began Mr. Thomas, j as he came up, “I dont want to offend you. for we are all neighbors: but if I yon, Mr. Jones, would clean out your alley, and you, Mr. Smith, would poison your nuisance of a dog. I believe I , would gain five pounds of flesh per week. "Hollow! Thomas!" saluted Brown, from the rear platform of the car for which tliey hail waited, “I’ve been wanting to see you for a week past. Your confounded old horse stands and stamps all night long, and none of us can get a wink of sleep.

The Irish Issue In Australia. From Victoria has lieen forwarded, by the Irishmen there resident, to the lord mayor of Dublin an address expressing strong and characteristic sympathy with the movement for home rule. The Irishmen of Ireland are described as suffering "under the hoof of a foreign despotism,” and their condition is compared to that of the Israelites in their degrading servitude to the Egyptians. There are nine signatures to the address, and five of them are those of members of the legislative assembly. Attention was called to the address in the assembly, and the pre- ; mi. r was asked if he intended to take i any action. He replied that he proposed to take none. One of the signers then rose in his place and declared that if he had been guilty of treason or sedition he ought to be sent before a jury ' of his countrymen, and he was ready to go there. He merely desired for IreI land the same legislative independence , that is possessed by A ietoria. He Slighted His Mother-In-Law. A remarkable Italian peasant custom | j has just been brought to notice by a s ' trial at Naples. A year ago the dugh- , ter of Carolina Gargnillo was married ; Ito a sailor named Giuseppe Esposito. ’ It is tiie usage among the classes for the bridegroom to visit his mother-in- . law on the morning following the mar- i riage. Esposito was reminded of tliis , custom but neglected to make the visit. The mother-in-law then became angry ! and urged her son. Vincenzo Gargnillo. 1 to kill Esposito. The son at once went | I to his sister's house and waited for the I ■ hnsbarid, who on coming welcomed him I and begged him to stay and dine. A ini eenzo thereupon drawing a knife, threw , himself upon his brother-in-law, stabI lied him and laid him dead at his feet. Vincenzo has lieen sentenced to imprisonment for life and his mother to “seclusion for three years.” A Hen Witness. A novel scene was witnessed in a Pennsylvania court, the other day. when a hen took the stand to support her owner’s charge that she had been stolen. He proposed to prove his own- i ership by an exhibition of her vocal powers, which he had trained to a surprising degree by taking advantage of the demands of nature. “Anna, sing for corn.” said the own- j er; where upon the hen gave utterance to a series of noises of a high order of merit, in view of her natural limitations, though scarcely up to the standard of the nightingale. There was no doubt of the identity of the fowl. but the judge thought it )>ossible that she might have strayed over fF> the defendant, and ordered his acquittal. Twelve hundred newsboys, bootblacks and miscellaneous urchins belonging in Baltimore were taken to one of the suburbs last Thursday by the Free Summer Excursion Society, and of course a thousand funny capers were ent during the day. .Inst before the lioat started a handsome carriage dashed up to the wharf, and a jwilite policeman sprang to open the door. Amid a roar of laughter five street gamins stepped out. one of them remarking to the policeman, “Peshaps us boys 'aint got no style.” They had prevailed upon the driver of the carriage to take them to the boat, and lie had agreed to take his pay in laughing at the diseomtitted policeman.
