Someone has blundered in the Chiricahua affair, and the situation shows that it was not the Indians. Ip the Cincinnati Enquirer is supporting Judge Hoadly, it is doing it in such a # way as to avoid publicity. If the Democrats are in a straight for harmony now, before a single issue has been announced by them or a candidate named, their plight afterward can only be imagined. One of the drawbacks to that railroad is the lack of transportation of sufficient capacity to carry the idea along the proposed routes. None of the old-fogy companies would hazard their rolling stock under such a cargo. The war that for a space did fail is now trebly directed against the trade dollar. The merchants of New York city have cast It out as evil, and propose to drive it from circulation. There is no sense in more than •ne kind of a dollar. General Charles Grosvenor, of Ohio, gives it as “an infallible sign in politics that when a candidate begins writing cards in Jane be is a corpse before October.”. This anent Judge Hoadly’s late efforts as a ready letter writer for the public prints. Mrs. Bush, the woman with whom the name of Algernon Sartoris has been unpleasantly connected, has suddenly left Chicago for New York. The impression is general that the woman is a clever adventuress, and courted publicity for the purpose of bringing Bartoris to terms, and that he has had to pay dear for his acquaintance with her. The remarkable career of Judah F. Benjamin closed with a complimentary dinner tendered him by the bar of London. Mr. Benjamin went from America, after secession failed, and became one of the most prominent, successful and wealthy lawyers of England. The story of his life is a romance in which truth is stranger than fiction. The Irish In vincibles have sentenced Chiefjustice Coleridge to death because he did not conduct certain recent trials in harmony with their ideas. The Lord Chief-justice is due in America shortly, as the guest of the Bar Association, and it is to be hoped the InVincibles will observe international comity to the extent of permitting the visit to be made before the execution of their sentence.

The People’s Railway scheme receives merited attention at the hands of the press of the country. There are the names of some gentlemen connected with thi9 flatulent nonsense who owe it to themselves and to those who trust in them to either disown responsibility for it or else openly assume charge and take the consequences. When balloons burst men who allow themselves to be used to inflate the canvas are not regarded with the most distinguished consideration by those who suffer. Miss Carter, who flattered herself for a few' days that she was Mrs. Major Nickerson fto. 2, now sees lit to enact the role of injured innocent. She says she does not know where the Major is; that she is a cruelly wronged woman, and is preparing a statement to show how she was deceived. As Miss Carter can hardly convince the public that she was ignorant of the existence of the first wife, and that she had not entered into a matrimonial engagement before the fraudulent divorce was procured, she will do as well to keep silence and retire into obscurity. A Columbus (Ohio) paper publishes an interview with an unnamed Democrat, in which it is stated that the Democratic State executive committee has been selected with a view to Hoadly’s election as Governor and securing a Democratic Legislature, the object being to send Hon. J. W. Bookwalter to the •Jnited States Senate. The same authority puts the cost of capturing the State convenon and the committee at $20,000, $7,000 lg paid for the votes of the Hamilton ,w-uty delegation. This betrayer of party secrets adds that Hoadly and bookwalter will pend $40,000 additional to accomplish their nds. The bar’l is up-ended in Ohio politics. TiiECobden Club celebrated its anniversary i Saturday night in London. A number of le speeches were made, among them one Mr. Horace White, of New York, who said it when America adopted free trade we snuuld be the greatest competitor of England in the markets of the w'orld, whereat there was a tremendous outburst of cheers, and all the Cobdenites hoped the day would i when that beneficent condition of s should obtain. The people of Amerce uot so vealiy, we apprehend, as to

take without salt this feeling of overwhelming regard on the part of the British politician and manufacturer. If there is one feature of the English character we have been taught by history to regard as more prominent than another it is that of selfishness, and to imagine the entire British nation with outstretched arms imploring America to adopt free trade so as to become competitors with them for the world’s markets, is too much of a strain upon our credulity. This sort of talk will do for tke marines and the political dudes. There is the most perfect harmony existing in the Democratic party of Ohio. Each day adds to the conclusive evidences of the peaceful and idyllic life led by the rockribbed and buttressed Democracy. In the Cincinnati News Journal, of yesterday, the organ of the Hoadly wing, there is a letter signed by J. H. Putnam, of Ghillicothe, addressed to Mr. John R. McLean, of the cinnati Enquirer, which paper is the under dog in the fight at present. Mr. Putnam is a Democrat with : ournali3tic proclivities, for he says he “has lost may thousands of dollars in publishing Democratic newspapers,” and the purpose of his card is to invite Mr. McLean to a continuance of the “warfare” upon him (Putuam)if he (McLean) thinks best. According to Mr. Putnam, “friendship for Senator Pendleton, Judge Hoadly, Mr. Thompson, or any other distinguished Democrat who is under the ban of your displeasure, incurs the penalty of running the gauntlet of the swarm of cut-throats and assassins of character you have employed to do your bidding.” Mr. McLean’s cut-throats and assassins seem to have been getting in their hellish work on Mr. Putnam, who says: “If my forty-five years’ residence in Central Ohio and intimate acquaintance with its people furnishes no shield capable of warding the shafts of your pimps and scavengers, I shall uncover my breast to the assault.” It is to be regretted that Mr. Putnam failed to qualify his assertion by saying “manly breast;’’ but that is of minor importance. Mr. Putnam proceeds to say to Mr. McLean: “It seems that your ordinary staff of ghouls was not equal to the task you had in hand, and you have employed a drunken loafer and perennial deadbeat, a pensioner upon his wife’s labor for his daily bread, who vibrates between saloons, au unwelcome specter at every gin-hole in Columbus.” If this be true, the man ought to be a wild advocate of Hoadly, the general understanding of the Ohio campaign being correct. These extracts are probably enough to give a taste of Mr. Putnam’s quality; but he manages before concluding to allude to Mr. McLean’s hired men as “anonymous sneaks and spies,” and dropping into Shakspeare he invites the Enquirer man to “lay on. McDuff, and blanked be he,” etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. The weather has been moderately warm for June, and July starts in with a promise of some rare and radiant red-hot days. If Mr. Putnam, at this stage of the canvass and with the heated term only just fairly begun, can write in this temper, what may not be hoped for in the wa}' of friendly correspondence from his pen in the future? In other words, if this can be done in the green tree, what may not be hoped for in the dry. In the meantime, ecstatic harmony will continue to prevail.

The idea of engrafting the industrial branch upon the public school system becomes more important the more it is examined. Besides conferring the benefits heretofore claimed for it, there is a widespread and growing evil for which this would be a remedy. The promiscuous rushing inio the professions of young men would receive a wholesome and timely check, if during the school and collegiate course they could have a taste of tools. Thousands would bedraw’ninto mechanical pursuits aud prosper instead of hanging on the ragged edge of the professions. The pay of the American mechanic stands at the top notch, and by the use of machinery in every branch the labor is less arduous. In a comparison of incomes between 300 lawyers of this city and the same number of skilled mechanics the legal gentlemen would turn up second best. As to the work, no man subjects himself to such perpetual grind as the industrious lawyer. His renown is thoroughly mixed with all manner of annoyance which prematurely wears men out. Perhaps the medical profession is less crowded, for while popular education helps each man to be hi3 own lawyer, the follies of society increase the demand for doctors, and the field of medical science seems to expand while that of the law diminishes. But there will always be work for a litotted number of good lawyers, and we shall be blessed with them so long as they are needed. Then the thousands of young men who are entering the profession annually, under the delusion that the genius of Webster will be lo6t to the w’orld if they do not, may look with decided advantage in other directions. Farming, under the improved facilities, is more desirable than the drudgery of au overcrowded profession. Besides, the field of agriculture demands the very highest order of talent, and is becoming more and more tiie work of the brain rather than tbe muscle, so that the first-class farmer is rapidly pushing to the front rank among the skilled and lettered men of the country. Tlie last to be promoted is the common laborer, but bis opportunities are keeping pace with those in the ranks over him. Tlie reaping machine has called an army of common laborers from the harvestfield up into the shops of our great manufacturing establishments. Instead of being an obstacle in the way of the day laborer, tbe machine has been the means of his promotion, and what is true with tue reaper holds

good all around. If an invention robs a man of his place, in the very nature of things it opens to him a better one. If these facts and many others that could be cited were impressed upon young men, they would be able to see abundant chances for the application of the most finished education outside of the learned professions. There seems no better way in which to impress these truths than through the industrial branch of the common school and the colleges. As to the girls, while they should enjoy all the advantages artsing from this source suited to their station, they might be left free to break into the professions whenever they can.! As yet they have not secured a fair share in this line. But as to the young men of the country, there never was a time when the inducement was so strong to turn their backs upon professional life, and the chances so favorable to do better in other fields of labor. The number of failures so far this year in commercial houses is considerably increased over the same period of each of the two previous years, and the same as to liabilities. In noting the causes, many of the failures are traced directly, and others indirectiy, to illegitimate outside speculation, stock gambling and dealing in futures, while the residue collapsed from the usual causes, inexperience, mismanagement and too close competition in certain lines of goods. There seems to be no unhealthy or panicky symptoms in the market except those arising from combinations and “corners.” The temper of the legitimate trade is even and uniform. The profits are close cut, but capital put into straight business is entirely safe. Samuel Smith is not a name of impressive sound, but if 150 passengers on a South Carolina train do not gratefully remember it is that of a hero, their lives are scarcely worth the sacrifice of his. Smith was the engineer of a fast express which was turned from its track near Charleston by a misplaced switch. The engineer, looking ahead, saw that collision with a heavy freight train was inevitable, but instead of saving himself, as he might have done, occupied the moments during a run of seventy-five yards in reversing the engine and putting on the air-brakes. The collision came, and the engineer was instantly killed, but the passengers escaped with uothimg more than a severe shaking up.

The Washington Sentinel, the national organ of the brewers, recommends the friends of liberty in Ohio to make the canvass on the issue of a removal of the harsh features of the Scott law, or its total abolition. It says: “The friends of liberty can only rid themselves of that odious and tyrannical law by electing a largely Democratic Legislature.” We fancy the Republicans of Ohio will not be averse to joining issue on that proposition. A Chicago hotel clerk went over to Elgin, 111., the otner day, to be married, carefully providing himself before starting with a license. It was to be a “swell” wedding, and all the elite of the olty gathered at the church to witness the ceremony which was to “transform one of their favorite daughters,” etc. At the very last moment, while the crowd was waiting expectantly, the rector In the chancel discovered an awful mistake. The license, which was good in Cook county, was not equally authoritative in Kane county. The groom gasped for breath, and with his best man started for the clerk of Kane oounty. That official could not be found. What was to be done? Once more the wretohed man drove frantically to the church, hut here was comfort. The rector had a happy thought, and whispered it in his ear. The wedding party, a little late, to be sure, came slowly up the aisle, the clergyman met them, aud the ceremony was performed in the highest style of the art. Then they went out, the bride, groom, best man and rector, and were driven furiously several miles to a bridge, in the center of which was the Cook oouuty line. There the ceremony was repeated and the twain made legally one, after which the}' all went back to town aud held a reception, with nobody the wiser. A clergyman like that, who can rise to the occasion in an emergency, is worth having about the house. ■ •• Rev. R. L. Stanton, who has been in London for a year and a half, thinks cultivated Americans talk the English language better than the same grade of Englishmen. He heard Thomas Hughes read miserably, dropping the letter “g” at the close of such words as morning,” and making frequent mispronunciations. Archbishop 'fait was by no means a good model in the use of the mother tongue, and the English clergy, as a rule, are faulty in speaking. Passing by their peculiarities as to single words, their ordinary use of vowel sounds is such that, unless you give close attention, you cannot understand them. Dr. Joseph Parker, oue of the foremost pulpit orators in London among Dissenters, invariably pronounces “chapter” as though written “cheptor.” Many of the vowels have a peculiar twist as they come from his tongue. Dr. Stanton’s ear deteoted fewer variations from the best educated American usage in Mr. Bpurgeon than in any English preacher. We might learn something from the heathen, even in the matter of education. At a school tu Tokiofor the sons of Japanese nobles geography is taught by means of a physical map of the country between three and four hundred feet long. The model is made of turf aud rock, and is bordered with pebbles, which at a little distance give the appearance of water. Every inlet, river aud mountain is faithfully reproduced. Telegraph wires mark the latitude and longitude, and the position of cities is indicated by tablets. The Demooratio editors, at their Logansport session, unanimously recommended “to the favorable consideration of Secretary of State Myers and Auditor of State Rice the name of that grand old Roman, Col. J. B. Maynard, for the position of clerk of the bureau of public printing and stationery, than whom none Is more compe* tent and worthy.” Washington society must have some amusement to tide them over the Congressional vacation, and gallopin’ young bridegrooms up and down the public streets, lamming them at every Jump where it would do the most good with a clapboard, ought to satisfy the most exacting and be immensely popular with the masses. Watkrbuky, D. T. t is a temperance town. The original owners of the land are earnest prohibitionists, and every deed made by them to settlers specifies that no totoxioatlng beverage shall be sold upon the premises Ou a violation of this agreement the property re verts to the

former owners. The town, which mieht more appropriately be named Waterspout, is not very largo, but is said to be growing and prosperous. Suitable acknowledgements lavo never been made to the public liar for bis industry mjwarding oft a stagnation in news and on bis behalf it is suggested that the 4th of July oration incorporate this feature, that justice may be done along-neglected benefactor. An Austrian Baron has gone to jail in Chicago rather than to pay $35 per week alimony to Ins divorced wife, although he has plenty of funds. There is a difference between this Austriau nobleman and a real nobleman. A stylish and intellectual looking personage who calls himself the devil’s uncle, is visiting Boston. The devil’s relatives evidently know where to look for him. Jocook leaves out one of the principal wonders or the world—a “case” with no woman io it. The Planets for July. T- rne Editor <n the Indlnnanolis Journal: The planets are ail morning stars most of the month, except Uranus. It ha9agood position fop evening observation—about four degrees west of the star Beta in Virgo, it slowly approaching that star and will come up and pass it in October. This planet has the brightness of a sixth-magnitude star—just visible to the naked eye when the moon is absent. Mercury aud Venus will appear like a pair of twin stars during nearly all of the first week in July. They may be seen a little way above the horizon, southward from the sunrise point, in early twilight. The one further north is Venus. After the Bth. Mercury will leave Venus and soon disappear in the bright rays of the suii. Mars is about two hours above Venus and a little more south; but too small and dim to be of much interest. It will he 1° 28' north of Saturn in the morning of the 20th. On July 5 the sun passes between the earth aud Jupiter, making an occupation of the planet, which lasts about ten hours. This would be a phenomenon of exceeding interest for observation did not the brightness of the sun preveut our seeing it. After tuat Jupiter is a morning star, and may be seen just above the sunrise point in the latter part of the mouth. Saturn Is considerably higher ana well situated for morning observation. It is a little above, aud to the left of Aldebaran, the b right, red stariu Taurus, aud about ton degrees (two-thirds of an hour) below the Pleiades. Neptune is still above Saturn and further south—occupying a blank region in Taurus. It can hardly be identified without a good equatorial telescope. In the morning of the 26th, Venus aud Jupiter will be near together—like a fine double star—Veuus to the north. The moon occults Saturn ou the first about 5 i\ m , and Mercury about twenty-four hours afterward. But both pli enomana will be difficult to observe, being in daytime, and near the horizon. The moou will again pass very near Saturn on the 29th about 4 o'clock in the morning. They will be in the cast near four hours’ high and may be observed with a small glass. New moon takes place on July 4, about 9a. m, Sun spots have been numerous in June, and will likely be more or less so in July, Spicrlakd, June 29. William Dawson.

ABOUT PEOPLE. Baron Rothschild, of Paris, lights his private carriage with electricity. The duke of Cambridge objects to the presence of women at public dinners, and will not preside if any be present. General George B. McClellan has become the American manager of one of the oldest English Insurance companies, v The cottage secured for Mrs. Langtry at Long Branch belongs to Lester Wallack, whose summer residence now )• Stamford, Conn. Mr. Ignatius Donnplly is at his quiet retreat, Niuiuger, Minn., engaged upon another great work of a scientific and literary character. A French Parliamentary committee has recommended the iuorease of M. Pasteur’s pension from $2,400 to $5,000, with reversion to his wife aud children. Mrs. and Miss Clemmer, the mother and sister of Mrs. Mary Clemmer Hudson, have gone to New York. Miss Clemmer is private secretary to the editor of the “North Amerioan Review.” The widow of Dr. Glenn, the great California farmer, will realize, this year, $700,000 from the grain crop. Now is the time for the enterprising young man iu search of a partner to go West. Gen. Robert Toombs, of Georgia, is somewhat improved in health, and has changed his mind about immediately abandoning tbe practice of law, as he recently declared he intended to do. A ninety-year-old Pennsylvanian, who never smoked, never drank, never fell in love and never went out of his native town, has just started on his first journey. He went in a hearse. The first railway porter ever employed on passenger traffic was John Barnett, who died recently at Darlington, England. Barnett accompanied the old No. 1 engine on its trial trip with George Stepheuson. A brother of Professor Henry Ruggles, of Dartmouth College, said, on going West, twenty years ago, “You will never hear from me unless I cau ooine back rich.” All trace of him was lost. He has just returned, with his vow well kept. Brown is a Boston man who is known to have spent nineteen years in studying the problem of. perpetual motion; and the public has his word for it that he has made a successful machine, which he refuses to show, but in which he is willing to sell shares. A gossipy writer in the Troy Press says of Bret Harte’s father, whom he met years ago, when he was private tutor to two of his playmates: “I remember him well; a very pleasant gentleman. Ho married a girl out of the mill. She was one of the most beautiful girls I ever saw, as handsome as a doll, but had no education. Her nusband educated her, and she beoame one of the finest ladies in Hudson.” Attorney-General Brewster now wears a full suit of ecru pongee, with his cambric ruffles. Professor Baird wears an entire suit of ecru linen. The interpreter of the Chinese Legation, with loose linen puutaloous, wears a long loose sack, closed up iu front, made of checkedgingham, and over it a sleveless waist, with high neck, of thin black gauze. His small skull-cap is apparently of black horsehair plaited. His queue reaches nearly to bis feet. Salvini has said, since he returned to Italy, that he made $50,000 by his last American tour. He was fifty-three on the Ist of January, and means to retire from the stage wheu ho is fiftyfive-. Uutil October next he will live in retirement with his family uear Florence. Then he proposes a professional tour In Spain; from Spain he goes to Russia, and, having played in Moscow aud Bt. Petersburg, lie will return to America aud conclude his theatrical career la Mexico. AN decideut laid the foundation of the bank-ing-house of the great Baron Coutts. Soon after ho began business he learned that aoertaln Loudon buuk had refused a noble customer a louu of $50,00U. Mr. Coutts wrote to the nobleman, asking him to cal), and when he called offered to lend hiflu tue amount. “But I oau give you no security,” said his lordship. “Your Lordship’s note of hand will suffice.” The offer was closed, and the borrower departed with $25,000, leaving the rest on deposit. The story soon spread abroad, end at last reached his Majesty’s ears. who, pleased witu so liberal a bauker, ordered

the royal banking account transferred to Coutts’s bank, and others following, the foundation of the great banker’e fortune was thus luid by a lucky accident. John Bright is as coo! as be is clever. A few nights ago, while addressing an English audience, lie had occasion to remark: “Job has said, •Man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward,”’ but that upon the whole he “did not agree with Job.” Whereupon oue of the audience of 4,000 arose, aud objecting to hear Job spoken of so, shouted: “Three cheers for Job.” The three cheers were given with an enthusiasm which might have discomforted a less ready man thou John Bright. Justice Field, of the United states Supreme Court, says he travels 0,000 miles a year in attending to his judicial duties. Ilia traveling expenses amount to more than SI,OOO a year when he goes alone, and to more than $2,000 a year when his wife accompanies him; and the judges alone, of high government officers have to pay their own traveling expenses, which he freely declares he considers to be an outrage. Os course, passes are offered to him every year, but he always declines them. Bir W. Harcourt, the Home Secretary, enjoys the reputation of being personally the most objectionable man alive. It Is told, apropos of this, that twelve gentleman had agreed to dine together, and as they were in want of a much larger number it was mutually arranged that each should select, unknown to the other, the most disagreeable acquaintance he had. When the selections came to be examined it was found that all twelve corresponded, and the individual ou whom the suffrages fell was the Home Secretary. The descendants of the first of our rulers are not numerous now. In Virginia are a few of the Washington family of the Lawrence Washington brads and of the Madisons there are none. Monroe has one or two nleoes and a nephew living, and Jackson has not a living descendant. The Adams family is the best represented of the six. Jefferson has a number of descendants, and Mrs. Meiklebam is his nearest living relation. She is the youngest daughter of his eldest daughter, Martha, who married a Randolph, and is the last of her seven daughters. With only two exceptions the judges of the Supreme Court are wealthy. Judge Blatchford Is worth at least $13,000,000, and lias no children—nobody but his wire and self; Judge Matthews is worth, at a very low estimate, $300,000; Wood, $100,000; Waite, $250,000; Field, $730,000; Judge Gray, $150,000, aud he is an old bachelor, Bradley, $500,000. Judges Miller and Harlan are both poor men. Their only income is their salary. So you see we have the enormous sum of $15,050,000 represented by seven men on the Supreme benoh—an average of $2,125,000. Charles Gounod, the illnstrloua composer, lives iu Paris in a superb mansion of unique design. It has the severely solemn aspect of a monastery, and there are steru-iooking locks, grim irou gratings, gloomy passages and a huge, mysterious staircase. But the locks and gratings are adorned with graceful female heads, the passages lighted up with beautiful piotures and statuary, and the stairs, richly carpeted, lead up to the master’s room, a huge, light, airy apartment, coutaining massive furniture, a big organ, aud a desk-piano at wliioh be can sit and oompoae music aud write it down at once.

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS. The true remedy for Irish poverty, pauperism and famine is not emigration, but amelioration at home. This is the stand taken by tbe National League, and in this it is unquestionably right —Brooklyn Eagle. It is the poor man who has the greatest interest iu the preservation of the old-time sanotity of the first day of the week. If he be awake to his true position with regard to it ho will be the foremost to protect and defend it, regardless, if need be, of any considerations of a sacred character, but on grouuds of polloy alone.—Ohio State Journal. The principle that, the liquor traffic is dangerous to the public welfare, and hence illegitimate excopt as it is authorized and regulated by law, is recognized so universally that it is foil}' to cry out against special burdens as unjust which are imposed for the express purpose of restricting the liquor traffic, And repressing, so far as possible, the evils necesarily incident thereto.—Chicago Tribune. There would be no manufacturers or venders of intoxicating liquors if there were no consumers, and experience ought to convince observing people that a universal demand for any article, whether the artiole he good or bad.

The right way, the only right way, in which tbe oivil service can be used to strengthen tho Republican party in tbe South Is by scrupulous care in tlie appointment of fit men to the principal offices, and by a rigid prohibition of political interference ou the part of all federal employes. Such a course would inculcate a genuine respect for the national government m tne South, which Is the first condition of Republican progress there.—New York Times. No Democratic convention held this year has indorsed the principles and method of the Pendleton bill, though, before it was passed, they were very free with resolutions in its favor.

Let them keep it up. aud they will be swept clean into their last dirty ditch.—Boston Herald. Many of the imported paupers come from Ireland, with their respect for law aud ability to become self-sustaining destroyed by long-con-tinued resistance to legal authority and oppression. This familiarity with tlie darkest crimes bas weakened their ability to distinguish between right and wrong. The danger to all that Americans hold most dear is so great that American citizens of foreign birth have been among tbe first to demand a remedy. Stop the invasion!—Philadelphia Press. The great need is to open the doors of the universities wider and to amplify and extend the resources within. Those who desire to become classical scholars should have the opportunity, but those who desire to devote their college years to a wholly different Hue of studies should have an equal chance. There should be no lowering of the standard of admission or graduation. It should rather be higher, but under it there should bo such a variation of requirements as to adapt it to the manifold needs of the modern time.—New York Times. Mr. Hoadly was nominated on this issue alone, amt nominated solely to catch the German Republican brewers. He will nave to discuss It, and to show where he stands. The Republicans want it discussed. They have planted themselves on tho principle of revenue taxation. And while they do not claim for the Scott law perfection, it is tlie expreasion of this principle, and It is the law, and it will stand and they stuud by it. aud challenge the plainest discussion of this aud of any proposed taxing or license scheme, or of any scheme of exemption from all taxation.—Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. For sixty years America has been receiving a vast horde from every nation in Europe—a great mass of ignorant, Impoverished aud discontented exiles—and it has trained them in workaday habits aud the duties aud responsibilities or citizenship. It offers to-day to the Irish immigrants whom England fiuds it impossible either to govern, reconcile or feed, a home, a living and a country. It does not want paupers, but men and women who can work; and it provides them with a living, wliioh, ns tho Spectator has confessed, “as regards food, clothing, lodging and education, is distintly better than that of any large population in the Old World."—New York Tribune.
