WOHEN OF TO-DAY.

BY MBS. IDA A. HARMSRi-

Tk« Woman JoonrtlW'-'f^-r lbs. Helen L. Oapel, of Pieasantuwn, KM., hit abandoned the newspaper basiuesfc, after some yet re of successful management. In her valedictory she says: *'AB the Jaditaf AND business manager of a newspaper, lay.. bufli-

rs.s--car

uese is more .. my work, to be done successfully, must be done as men do it. If I do not follow the beaten patb, the business must suffer. If I .? my work like a man, I sn made the subject of such a continual insi&de of malicious gossip that I choose to abandon a profitable business rather than bear it any longer."

Every woman who has attempted to make a business of writing f® the newspapers will fully indorse the above sentiment. Successful journalism of the present day is bright, wide-awake, practical, fully conversant with the men and the times. A woman may refnain in the solitude of her boudoir and compose nice poetry and periJIkps mild fiction sh4 may confine herself to the privacy of her kitchen and write a very good cook book or she msty hover around the milliner's, the dressmaker's, the dry goods stores, places specially set apart for her sex, and compile fashion articles. She may do this kintfof writing and keep within the extreme limits of her original, old-fash-ioned sphere.

But the average woman will hardly achieve a .great reputation for works of poetry, fashion or cookery. They ere not in general demand.- The reading public of to-day want to know about people and places and current events. They want this information served up in concise, piquant and attractive manner. The reliable journalist must go about and see for himself and he must, associate with his fellow men if' hft would obtain wit, polish, keenness and insight of human nature which can only be gained by daily contact with the world. To •hut one's self up means rust, decay, oblivion. At the present rapid rate of existence he who loses a day gets behind in the race, and he need not sleep twenty years in the -mountains to become a second Rip Van Winkle.

For these very .reasons women will •ever become so distinguished as are men in journalism. They will always meet with the same experience as did Mrs. Capel, of Kansas, who '"tried to do her work as a man would do it, and was driven out of her business by malicious gossip." If the man who'edits a paper is attacked or slandered he can shoot or thrash his opponent and thereby increase his reputation and the number of his jsubscribere. If the editor happens to be a wowan, she has no redress, for if she should attack her slanderer with pistol or horsewhip, she would become the target of sarcastic ridicule for all the newspapers in the country, and be held up as an awful example of the progressfye woman. The lady editor is under constant espionage, every action criticised, eve^ motive misunderstood, until either she becomes callous and "defiant and ther?lon unwomanly, or else, like the lady in ,Kansas, is defeated afid driven from the tfield. Time will, of cour3e, modify this estate of affairs, but we" can hardly hope rfor a millennium when women will be allowed the same privilege which has been (Always grant 3d to men—that of going .quietly and independently about their ibosincs" without criticism or interference.

But the

'"V

lady

editbrhas stoe otawce^'of

Giving down those unpleasant things and ^establishing a character that phall be sfbeve reproach. Not so the traveling correspondent. She is the center of attraction from the moment she arrives, and the attention is not always of a complimentary nature. She generally has to snub half a dozen men and conciliate an equal number of women before she is ready to begin her investigations and write her letter3. The wise correspondent will provide herself before hand with letters of introduction which will serve as certificates of character and save herself much delay and annoyance. Where one is flying about from place to place and trying to write long articles while on the wing, there i8 hardly time to stop for explana lions or to attempt to make a good-im-pression.'

A correspondent of the masculine persuasion can drop down upon a town, smoke, drfflk, joke with the servant girls, wear old clothes and, on account of his profession, he will be tendered the freedom of the city on a silver waiter. Not ao with the most modest, dignified and best behaved of women. She is fortunate if she is permitted to stop at the hotel and she will have to conduct all her inqnirifi in the moat discreet and careful manner. Every movement will be watched and commented on. If she dresses badly the my" will laugh at her and the women ignore her if she dresses handsomely the women will be envious and the men will wonder who paid for her clothes.

But it is the testimony of every Woman correspondent that she has much less to .dread from men than from women. Men NWHI be suspicious and impertinent at first, ]but when they get a "back-set" they have •sense enough to understand it$ and not presume again. Their judgment in regard to a woman is infallible at least they think if iff, and having once made np their mind that a lady is worthy of respect, they are most kind, considerate and helpful. Mrs. Ermine Smith, of Hew York, the greatest woman scientist in the world, once said to me, "When I want assistance I always go .to a man, never to a woman." But there are two distinct classes of women: those of broad liberal natures, who read and think and work, appreciate the efforts of others, sympathize with their difficulties and being pure and good themselves are quick Jo recognise these virtues in other wpmen: that other class, uneducated, in the sense of the word, jealous of those superior to themselves, knowing their own weakness tinder temptation yet vexed tmcamo the temptations never come, narrow in their prejudices and entirely inevitable of understanding true nobility of character. Theee are -the women to be feared, these are the ones who need to be ^emancipated and yet they will decry the •eiy ones of their own sex whoar# striving to set them free. V?

The star is in the east, the star of hope •and promise for women, but no savior can 4WM to redeem."" Each woman must

work out her owti salvation. If we cannot help, at least we may not hinder, If we hare no word of praise, we inay refrain from one of censure. In attributing only noble motives to others we pimply e$press our own integrity.

I denounce the idea prevalent in society that though out young women may "J a«*/4 ATln

mats for lamps to stand in without disgrace, the idea of doing anything for a livelihood is dishonorable.

It is a shame for a young .woman be-, longing to a large family to be inefficient when the father toils his life away fer her support. It is a shame for a daughter to be idle while her mother toils at the washtub. It is as honorable to sweep house, make beds or trim hats as it is to twist a watch chain. As far as I can understand, the line of respectability lies between that which is useful and that which is useless. If women do that wKich is of no value, their work is honorable. If they do practical -work it is dishonorable.

That young woman may escape the censure of doing dishonorable work, I shall particularize. You may knit a tidy for the back of an arm chair, but by no means make the money wherewith to buy the chair. YOH may with delicate brush beautify a mantel ornament, but die rather than earn enough to buy a marb mantel. You may learn artistic music until you ean 6quall Ifalian, but never sing "Ortonville or "Old Hundred." Do nothing practical if you would in the eyes oT refined society preserve your respectability.

I scout these finical notions. I tell you a woman jio more than a man has aright to occupy a. place in this world unless ght pays a rent for it. In the course of a lifetime you consume whole harvests and droves of cattle, and every day yoa live ycu breathe forty hogsheads of gooa pnrfe air. You must by some, kind of usefulness pay for all this.—Witt Talmage.

To be sure, there was Mrs. Somerville —something of a genius—who did housekeeping—did it well—and Harriet Martineau was not an ignominious failure nor was Lucretia Mott, nor Mrs. Child, nor Phoebe Cary, nor Jane Carlyle, nor, as I can personally testify, are M»ry A. Livermore or Julia Ward Howe. But these do not count -there are exceptions to all rules—and strong-minded women art all Mrs. Jellabys, as all the world knows. Let them accept the situation, then, as gracefully as possible, and console themselves with the thought that there is a great multitude, which no man can number, of poor house keepers and incapable mothers who can neither read Latin nor Greek, and wbo do not get. on very swimmingly with English who never wrote a line for the papers, and who take not the slightf "t interest in the convers:on of. Africa, or in any other mattsr of unselfish concern but who, deep in the fashion plaf s, and flimsy fancy work, pa"S the nours, and are seldom if ever held up to the world as an awful warning, and a reproach. That they do not entirely monopolize shiftleTsness and incapacity ou-ht certainly t3 furnish rte strong-minded with some slight alleviation of their selfreproach at having 1 2n thus created by a mistaken Providence.—[Hattie Tyng Griswold, in the Universal-st.

Mrs. Livermora, in a cent letter to Our Message, tbe organ of the Ma -acbusetts W. C. T. U., says that in her wintjr's travels she met an intelligent brewer and held much conver. 3 with t:.m regarding the tsmpsraace reform Among other tbinj, he said: "I me 11 you how it is went and here in Nebraska. If to-morrow we were ompel led to chdc

between a" woman suffrage or a prohibitory amendment to our constitution, we should take the lat* :r.' For you can get around any prohibitory amendment that men can maKe. With the aid of good lawyers you can cany your cases up to the h'gher courls and delay decisions, you can p:ck flaws in the evidence, and break down f'ie witnesses, and all the while, if you're & narf. you can do busi-ne-s on the s'y, unt you worry your prosecutors clean out, and they'll give up trying to enforce the law. But when you give ^omen the right to vote, a prohibitory

amendment is sure follow, and women haven't a grain of iense on the temperance question. Tjey are crazy fanatirs on that subject, and they wouldn't stop till the whole liquor business was destroyed, root and branch. That is why we shall never give women the ballot in Nebraska." "Home's not merely for- equare ws'le Some people once thought it was and they thought, also, that you might as well throw down its.Lares and Penates as to carry away its weaving-loom and spin-ning-wheel. But it survives this spoliation and when women ceased to pick their own geese and do their own dyeing, it still serenely smiled. The sewingmachine took away much of its occupa tion tho French and Chinese laundries have introduced upon its domain indeed, men, by their "witty inventions," are perpetually encroaching on "woman's sphere," so that the next generation will no doubt turn the cook stove out of doors, and the housekeeper, standing at the telephone, will order better-cooked meals than ajmost any one has nowadays, sent from scientific caterers by pneumatic tubes, and the debris thereof returned to a general

"A bachelor'? "fe," savs some Hy.pe rion, "is a .lendid breakft erably flat dinner, and a most miserable

one in

A single man may have an estate, a principality: he can own a great hotel and fill it with guests, but he can not create a home without a woman to help him, and that, too, a woman whese service is not for money. When it comes to a home, there is not a solitary dressmaker in the land, ensconced in her one little room with her geraniums, her canary, and her sewing-machine, who can not completely, eclipse him, this being the result, not of his sins, but of his sex. —[T. W. Higginson in Harper's Bazar.

My daughter,, when you note that the man whQ wants to marry you is just too awfully anxious to learn whether you can bake a loaf of .bread or wrih a shirt with Chinese dexterity,, before you close the negotiations, do yoi just fly around and ascertain if that man is either willing or able to earn enough, flour to make a oiscuit, and if he has paid for the shirt he wants you to wash. Nine tinies out of ten, daughter, the maH who only wants to marry a housekeeper can be kept more economically in the workhouse than he can in your father's house.—[Eobt. J. Burdette, in Brooklyn Eagle.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

Mrs. H.: Please inform me if^ou intend, in your "department, to give any nice recipes tor cooking or directions for crocheting tidies.

ELLA.

[No, Ella, no. Literary ladies are not supposed to know anything upon these subjects. Your grocer will give you a ivery good cook book, with a can of baking powder any of our church sewing societies will show you how to crochet tidies, and if they fail, apply to the Dedbrative Art Society.]

YIGO IN WAR TIMES.

A Series «f Articles on Ylg» Omntf Hi the War.

IfO.I.

When the news of the attack and the fall of Sumter was received in Terre Haute, the people, with a few exceptions, were fonnd loyal to the old flag. There were a few whb'held rebellious sentiments, but they were pushed to one side by thei. C. McOroy. general rush

be enrolled on the side of

the Union. From the presidential election in I860 until the inauguration of Lincoln, Reason had been,open. The United States was robbed and plundered by men who were for the rebellionLoyal men were forced to watch such proceedings, the only hope being in the future. Those who remember the day*' of March, 1861, and the early days of April, remember with what anxiety the loyal people of the north observed the conduct of the southerners. They were playing "housekeeping," and the great question was, "Would they attack the northern states?" That question was settled when the first gun was fired on Sumter. The hearts of loyal men were fired with indignation. The flag'of the Union was insulted.

The excitement in Terre Haute during the firing on Sumter was at fever heat. When the fall came*, followed by .Abraham Lincoln's call for 75,000 men, it was then that the people of Vigo showed^hat their loyalty consisted in more than mere .words and speech-making. The.streets were filled at night with men singing war songs. Farmers came to town during the day to hear the war news. The daily papers were eagerly bought up.

When it became evident that war was inevitable, a meeting of citizens was called for the evening of the I6th at the Court house. The Daily Expiess of the l'6thsays:

A laVge number of flags were hoisted yesterday on business houses and private dwellings troughout the City. The Fort Harrison Guards have their colors displayed from the front of their armory. Minshall & Paddock also "flung out" their banner to the breeze, from the flag-etafi on top of their clothing store. The Vigo Guards aUo displayed their flag from their armory window."

This action was not appreciated by all, as the Express remarked: Our ceighbor over tbi postoflSce (Journal) seems exercise because tbe American flag .has been hoisted in the Com house square. Some folks dislike to see the United States flag just now. The flag was raised by loyal men of a'.l parties—republicans, democrats and Bell men, who all unite in the patriotic wish, "Loag may it wave."

Continuing, the ExpresB says: The Union sentiment in .the oity is gc»wing rampant. The devotion to the "old flag" was never so apparent. Almost every citizen as he passci the equare looks up with pride and vener-

so gaudily to the breeze by the Court house door. Just now the climate .would be unhealthy to any one who would have the temerity to avow sympathy with the traitors of South Carolina or rcapcrt for the 'Pelican' and the 'Battlesnake!

The meet'ng at the Court house on the evening of the 16th represented all parties and classes of citizens. Upon displaying the stars and stripes there was a spontaneous volume of chiefs. It was salutsd with "Tbe Star Spangled Banner" by the fine band in attendance. W. E. McLean was chosen president jas. M. Random, Sr.. and L. A. Burnett vice presidents I. M. Brown and Robert Stewart cretarir Upon taking the chair Col. McLean made a short speech full of patriotism. The meeting was addressed by Harvey D. Scott, R. W. Thompson, Lucius Rye3, Geo. W. Clippenger, Chas. E. Hosfordj A. B. Crane and Samuel Royce. The speeches werelfilled with devotion to the constitution and the Federal government, and in favor of sustaining the laws of the United States at~all hazards. The speakers were repeatedly chrered, and at times the enthusiasm was tremendous. The fo lowing resolution was unanimously adopted: "Resolved, That we will maintain the Government of the United States with our lives, our 'ortunes and our sacred honor."

On the evening of the 15th the Fort Harrison Guards paraded in zouave uniform and drilled in an open space in front of tlie Terre Haute house. The work of recruiting was begun. On the morning of the 17th the people were to the streets by the roll of the drum. The Fort Harrison Guards and the Vigo Guards turned out recruiting squads, and their ranks .were scan filled to the required number. The,-Fort Harrison Guards were banqueted at the Buntin house. Speeches were made by the Revs. Abbott and Wilson, Lucius Ryce, Major Hamill, T. C. Buntin, I. M. Brown and others. The blessing of God was invoked on the soldiers.

On the 16th Governor Morton issued a proclamation for six regiments. On the 17th the following dispatches were sent to Governor Morton:

TBRBB HAUTK, Ind., April 17.—My company will be ready to march in a few hours. JABKZ SMITH.

TKBBE HAJJTE, April 17.—My company will leave to-morrow at 4 o'clock- Impossible to leave sooner. JABKZ SMITH

TKBBX HAUTE, April 17.—We are ready at a call are we accepted? FT. HARBISON GUARDS.

Many men were ready to enlist, but the question*was asked, ''Who will care for /•\jr families while we are gone A citi•8' meeting was held] and arrangements to care for the families of those who eniisvbd.

On the 18th the Ft. Harrison and Vigo Guard? left Terre Haute for Camp Morton at Indian apoliB. The streets were thronged, and* as the soldier boys march to the depot they were cheered by the thousands: It was a proud day for the boys. They were going out on "a breakfast spell," and it was nice to have the people making heroes of them. The names of those comprising the Vigo Guards *as they left Terre Haute were printed in the Exprww and were preserved.. The muster roll of Capt J. E. Hamill's company (Fort Harrison Guards) as it was mustered in the Eleventh Indiana, preserved the same way later on. The Vigo Guards were as follows:

TALK ABOUT TOWN.

And now it is said that Mf. Fowler has not been appointed postmaster at Biley or Lockport as the town is known. He got a big envelope, and the hungrv democrats who were peeping in at the cracks thought it was his commission, and straightway rushed off to find comfort and consolation with the anti-Lamb democrats. Some of the democrats who have petitions' for the place in the coat-tail pockets of Lamb and Voorhess cursed those gentlemen and declared their intention of fighting them to the last. They called on the anti-Lamb democrats to witness their .vow. Telegrams were sent to Washington protesting against Mr. Fowler's appointment and stating that changes of offensive partisanship would be preferred, against Mr. Fowler. The republicans of Lockport are watching the democrats racing round this ring. There is considerable fun in a country town occasionally.

There is a dispute as to where "the highest point in town is located. It is a general impression that Mr. Johns' residence on the coiner of Sixth and Ottk stands on the highest ground elevation in the city. The drainage is down hill in evary direction from this corner. "I don't think that is the highest point," said Lew Seeburger to a reporter, "and I will give you my reason for thinking so. About ten years ago a party of surveyors were camped at the corner of Park and Fourth streets. I had several talks with them and they told me they hsd been sent but to find a location for a signal service station. They said that the spot on which they were encamped was the

The next congressional race in this district will be a lively one, although the democratic legislature "set up" the district for a democrat. et there is a fighting show for a republican. In 1880 the republican vote in the district, as now constituted, was 19,234 democratic, 19,088, and greenback, 3,093 in 1884 the republican vote was 19,955 democratic, 20,719 greenback, 1,743, and prohibitionist, 189. The total vots in the district in 1884 was 42,606, and the total vote in opposition to the democrats was 21,887, a majority of 1,168.

A leader of the greenbackers assured an Express reporter, Friday evening, that the appointment of, Lamb to the United States district attorneyship took him out of the congressional race. Lamb had to, be taken out The race for the nomination will be between Judge Jump, of Vermillion, and Knight, of Clay.
