FOR THE FAIR,SEX.
ItewYarkKhonOlrU.
What a sad spectacle is lound in the
shop ffirls! When one considers the
heat of the past summer, and the closo
air of the shops, the condition of this
class is sufficiently pitiable, but to this
is added a peculiar and unreasonable
privation. They are not permitted to sit
down during business hours. How
great a trial this must be to the system I
need hardly mention. Were it strictly
necessary it might be excused, but in
many instances it is a requirement as
cruel as it is needless. Shop girls are
paid from $2 to $5 per week, and in a few
instances $10. Their laoor in some
stores closes at six o’clock, while in
others it is continued until nine o'clock.
They get few opportunities of Vacation,
and if such were granted they hardly
have a place to go. They are shut up in
this vast prison of New York wi'h little
prospect of anything but continued
labor, until the advance of yoars and the
loss of attractiveness cause them to be
turned adrift on the world. I wonder
why Mrs. A. T. Stewart, who now has
an income of $1,000,000, does not do
something for this unfortunate class,
whose faithful labors did so much for
her husband’s success. The shop girls
have a claim on the public, but espe
cially on those who hold the keys of
wealth.- New Fork Letter.
The Sloop of the Belle*.
The New York correspondent of the
Syracuse Journal thus writes of the stoop
of the belles: Tho grand afternoon
parade of the belles on Fifth avenue has
begun. Seeing a number of young
women elegantly dressed stooping over
ns though weak-chested, or chary of
stepping on their heels, I looked at them
with sympathy, as they passed, but
when the number increased I asked tho
meaning of this peculiar bend, or stoop
of the belles. Imagine your correspond
ent’s surprise to learn that it is tho
ashion for a woman to walk as though
she is crippled from age, round shoul
dered, and lias no ohest to speak of in
particular. The whole weight of the
body seems to be on the toes, and it is
distressing to sec a pretty girl make
such a deformity of herself. A servnnt’s
recent description of m belle is tolerably
worth repeating, ns follows: “Well,
mam, I walked down Fifth avenuo on
Sunday afternoon and I saw some fine
young ladies that made mo sorry for tho
them. Why, mam, I think their spines
are crooked, the poor things; and one
young lady in particular everybody was
looking at. She had on a rich purple
satin dress, but it was that short you
could see tho top of her shoes, and her
hkt was purple satin, too, and it just
hung on tho back of her head. Her
elbows wero stuck out square, nr.d her
back bent over so—and sho was that
hollow in the chest that I could have
cried for her. Hut it was queer to see
such a handsome girl leading a little
yellow dog witli a black nose by a pur-
pie ribbon; and .will you believe me,
mam thu.dog had a piece of purple satin
nround its Btomnch just the color of her
dress, I suppose to keep it wnrrn.” It is
needless to add that Bridget has recently
com' from the old country, and her ideas
of fashions and pug dogs are rather
mixed.
Fashion Note*.
Turbans are still in favor.
Fine feathers are worn this season.
Foulard and velvet collars and cuffs
are worn abroad.
Poko bonnets have the trimmings
massed far in tront, leaving the crown
perfectly baro.
Breton lace plaitings in many rows
oover one sido of some of tho dressiest
Japanese fans.
Gold beads mixed with chenille are
used in patLerns on the crowns of bon-
nets^nd lace to match edges the brim.
'Monograms and heraldic devices are
embroidered in gold chain stitch
many of the new pockets or reticules
Butterfly bows and rosettes of satin
ribbon, with drooping ends to fall
the low eoiflure, are worn by young
ladies in preference to the broud Alsacian
bows.
A corsage cluster of flowers is now
furnished by Parisian modistes witli all
dresses except the plainest suits. Some
times a small bird is perched in these
clusters.
Some very sensible overcloaks aro
ported lrom abroad. They have capes
springing from the shoulders, and they
protect the dress entirely. Tho cloaks
resemble an enlarged dolman, and they
are lined with blue, almond, gray, car
dinal or black.
Low-throated linen collars, with a
point each side and flaring behind, are
worn by young ladies. High linen col
lars are worn very close indeed, and are
made quite straight, with a stud button
at the top of the collar, and a second
stud lower down.
Paiis fashionable dinner and even
ing dresses are made of grenadine, laee,
Indian or Hindoo tulle, gauze, muslin
and barege mixed with silk and satin.
Tints of white, black, pearl gray, pale
blue and different shades of yellow, such
as amber, ripe corn and 'ecru, are the
favorite colors, the trimming being jet
lace, beads and ribbons. If the habit
or casaque bodice is worn, it is of plain
figured or brocaded silk or satin mer-
veilleux, and generally of a different
oolor.
The long unpopular and generally un
becoming color of green is again appear
ing in the list of new and fashionable
shades. This color is not of the order
of invisible greens, but is of a bright un
mistakable line. Suits of this color have
already appeared in Par * and London
but axe worn mostly by ultra-fashion
able ladies, who care more for novelty
and eccentricity than for comeliness in
ress. There are a variety of shades to
choose from, variously named flmpyan
green, willow, moss, cooked sorrell
grass and serpentine.
About eighty-five of every 100 of the
weather predictions sent out by the
Washington weather bureau the past
year have been verified. This beats the
almanacs at least.
Tho Excellence of Morriage.
Happy unions are always voluntary,
pot only at the beginning, but as long a-
life lasts. Love cannot be made free by
a change of statutes. 11 cannot be bound
or lost under any circumstances. If the
State should lisleu to the petition of
thoso who ask that sex relations be
exempt from control, the experience of
a quarter of a century would convince
the world that the old, long-tried, mono
gamic solution of the sex question is the
wise one. There are evident reasons
why such a result would come. Tn all
the past emotional experiences of the
race, it has been fi und impossible to
create an intense idealization of more
than cne subject at a time; and it has
been found, too, that when such an
idealization has been tested by knowl
edge and time it does not diminish, hut
deepens, and that the effect of this long-
continued idealization is to create the
best conditions of development, both for
those who exercise it, and for those
toward whom it is directed. Now, if
the best conditions of happiness are once
secured they should be maintained. It
is not possible to bring out all the re
sults of this mu.ual sex idealization in
any short period of association. The
very fact that the association is a per
manent one gives it earnestness and dig
nity. It would not be possible to extract
from a half-dozen associations, extend
ing over a period of twenty-five years,
he same amount of fine character-de
velopment that would come from one
fortunate association lasting for the
same time. When we are once sure of
tho wisdom, and integrity, nnd affection
of some friend through long experience,
we spend no more brain activity in
Warning his peculiarities of character
xnd in adapting ourselves to them. Tho
Jsociation of man and wife is rather
.floral and nflVctional than intellectual,
rt is a rest, a certainty, a point of de
parture for other activities. Once set
tled, and safely settled, wo waste no
power in readjusting the relations, but
take tho fruit ns it ripens, without the
need of uprooting the old and planting
few trees.—N»ri)i American Review.
Tattooing a Child’s Eye-Ball.
An ingenious and skillful operation
was performed upon a little girl recently,
it St. Joseph’s infirmary, Louisville.
Tho child had previously suffered from
an atjnck of what is technically termed
“ulcerative karntltis,” in other words,
an ulceration of tho transparent portion
of the eye-ball. This inflammation and
ulceration having subsided, there was
leit, of course, what always follows,
scar. This scar In tho corner is opaque
and of a milky color, and it interfered
with the vision by obstructing the rays
of light ns they pass into tho eye, and at
the same time produces an objectionable
Curious Sea Inhabitants.
There is a continual warfare going on
in the deep, a constant struggle for the
n c:\ns o( sustaining life The earniver-
oih devour the vegetarians, and the
mad enters swallow both animal and
vegetable forms; and this runs all the
way down the scale, from the shark and
the equally ravenous blu n fish to the
least of the annelids. These last, the
sea-worms, are wary, but they eannot
escape their enemies. If they were to
coniine themselves to the bottom, where
they teed and where many of them grow
to the length of a foot or two, they
might in a measure escape, though they
would still be a ffi’ey to the scud and
other fish that know how to dig for
them; but they lovo to swim, particu
larly at night and in the breeding sea
son, and then they are snapped up in
countless numbers. They have almost
every variety of forms nnd their struct
ure is marvelous — monsters with
booked jaws at the nd ot a probocis
and, withal, sides of bluest green that
throw off an Infinite vnriety of irides
cent hues. Some of the sea-worms
have scales, others have soft bodies;
some aro sluggish and curl themseives
up into balls when disturbed, others are
restless, particularly at night; some are
round, olliers flat; some build tubes of
snnd and cement, woven together till
they make a co'ony of innny hundred
members; the tubes of others are soft
nnd flexible, nnd some, when disturbed,
withdraw within their crooked calcare
ous tubes and close the orilico with a
plug. One variety of the serpulw has
three dark rod eyes; another has clus
ters of eyes on each tentaclo. The am-
phibods wero accounted of no great
value till it wns shown by the fish com
mission that these small Crustacea fur
nish a vnst amount of food for
botli salt and fresh water fishes.
Indeed, there is not a creature that
swims or crawls that does not be
come the food of some other animal.
A beach flea is caught up by a soup or
flounder; squids nmko terrible havoc
among young mackerel, nnd sharks and
sting-rays find something appetizing in
tho gastcropod.
But 1 have not room hero to dwell on
the attractions offered by Ihe inverte
brate animals on this coast. Tho rocky
shores abound in vnrioties differing
from the product of sandy and muddy
bottoms, and the different zones have
their peculiar forms of nnimal and vege
table life, and one lias only to sweep the
water with a fine net, and drawing it
through tho seaweed, to gather an infin
ite variety of animal life, so minute and
delicate in form as only to he seen with
the aid of a glass. At tho laboratory of
the fish commission, crabs not bigger
Ilian the head of a pin may bo seen
swimming in a shallow dish, tiny
forms, nlmost transparent, but active
loformity which no one wishes to have.
Tho objects to bo secured by the opem- j and pugnacious when they meet each
tion wero two-fold: First, to remove
the deformity; second, to restore the
v Lion to the affected eye. The first ob
ject was the one sought in the operation.
Hie child was put under tho influence
of an anoBsthetic, and then, a drop of ink
being placed upon this spot, the opera
tor made an innumerable number of in
cisions into it with a needle-knife; that,
is to say, by a process of tattooing, col
ored this white spot black. This secures
tlio first object; the second remains to
be secured by another operation, be
cause tho obstruction to vision still re
mains, though, being of the color of the
pupil or tho iris, is not distinguishable
by any but a very close observer. The
iris, or colored curtain which hangs
behind the transparent portion of ttie
irlobo, and which gives tho heavenly
blue, or the cold gray, or the passionate
black eye, according as naturu chooses
to color it, has a circular aperture for
the admission of rays of tight, and, ns
lliis opacity of tho cornea is in front ot
that aperturo, excluding thoso rays of
light, there remains but one thing to do,
and that is to make another opening in
that ourtain. or extend tho one already
there. If it is impossible to go through
an obstruction or to remove it, then tho
simplest thing, of course, is to go nround
it. That is what is done by this opera
tion of cutting out a portion of the iris
which is called “iridectomy.” This
piece of the iris is usually taken out just
above the pupil, for the reason that it is
less noticeable in that situation than any
other.
An Editor’s Apology,
Tills is our first experience in running
a newspaper. Little d r d we think that
when we placed our name in the columns
or the Clarion, as tho responsible person
for the matter that happened to find its
way into these columns, that anything
would ever happen that wo would have
to take back or get whipped. But such
is the case. We have either got to give
up the freedom of the press or get a head
put on us. The item which appeared
about one “ Prof.” Gerhert playing the
“ Arkansaw Traveler ” around the street
corners of Kearney lor cold biscuits and
slack and sour barley water has got to
bo apologized for. Last Wednesday
when we were going along one of the
principal streets of the county seat in
company with several friends, there sud
denly appeared before our gaze the
slandered “Professor.” He commenced
the conversation by saying he had not
been given his dinner by a servant girl
at the back door and thought he would
makega lunch out of the writer. We
entered a protest but to no use. He
claimed be was four hundred miles from
home, both heelg run over, and all wool
and a yard wide, warranted to neither
rip nor ravel, and had killed enough
editors to make a corduroy road from
Lookout '.Mountain to Puget Sound.
He unbuttoned his coat and gently plac
ing his hand in his hip pocket, he calmly
gave us our choice between a retraction
and having our carcass shot all full of
bullet holes. As the thoughts rapidly
traversed our mind about having
our remains sent to an aged and loving
mother looking like . the top sieve of a
fanniLg mill, and how our creditors
would mourn at our death, as we
thought of another person that holds a
warranty deed of the four sections of
our heart, town nine, range thirteen,
the idea of being shot by a second-
class, one-horse, cranky fiddler was
more than we could stand. Hence the
apology,—Shelton (Neb.) Clarion.
other. These minute animats at this
Hugo arc not fully formed, but liave a
tail, which, when not in use, is drawn
up under the body. This appendage,
like the caudal one of tire tadpole, dis
appears when the creature has no tur-
ther need ol it. So of tho you ig of the
lobster; it has five feet, while tue ab
dominal segments arc tlaltened out into
a tall lin. But perhaps there is no
greater change in the growth ol nny of
the Crustacea than that which charac
terizes tho star-fish. Its larva seems
complete in itself, and its movements
aro active before it presents any aspects
of the parent fish. Even its temporary
mouth does not remain the permanent
mouth of tlio star-fish. It is the star
fish that is the great destroyer of oys
ters, and there is nothing more tenacious
of life. Tear off one of its lobes or arms
and another will grow in its place; tear
ofl'lwo, three—nil of its five arms and it
is able to reproduce [them all.— Corre

Womanhood to the adroit and unscrupu
lous arts of baud.
Babbitt arrested the woman hut roon
found that the was too wise to place
hcrsi'll within the meshes of the law.
ai.d lienee the prosecution dropped. Her
oik rations were discontinued until the
Babbitt money was spent, and she then
appeared in a new role. This was
hiring iano3 which was sent to auction
as soon as possible and converted into
cash. These instruments were of course
mortgaged, but this made no difference.
All that the owners could do was to
bring suit, and she was so much accus
tomed to law that it had io-t its terrors.
The above is only part of the woman s
operations, but when one considers that
she has a husband and family it shows
how widely her genius can extend be
yond the limits of the domestic circle.
These confidence women have great
success in finding victims, one of their
favorite methods being clairvoyauce.
Commodore Vanderbilt fell into such
bunds in his latter days, and was no
doubt bled handsomely.
The Feet ol Chinese Women.
An American missionary, Miss Nor
wood, ol Swatow, has lately described
how tho size of the loot is reduced in
Chineso women. The binding of the
feet is not begun till tho child has
learned to walk and do various things.
The bandages nre specially manufac
tured, and are about two inches wide
and two yards long for the first year,
five yards lonv for subsequent years.
Tho end of the strip is laid on tho inside
of the foot at the instep, then carried
over the toes, under the foot and round
the heel, tho toes being thus drawn for
ward and over tho sole, while a bulge
is produced bh the instep and n deep in
dentntion in tho sole. The indentation,
it is considered, should measure about
an inch and a half from the part of the
foot that rests on the ground up to tho
instep. Successive layers of bandages
nre used till the strip is all used, and
the end is then sewn tightly down. The
foot Is so tqucezod upward that,
walking, only the ball of tho great toe
touches the ground. Large quantities
of powdered alum aro used to prevent
ulceration and lessen the offensive odor.
After a month the foot is put in hot
water to soak some time; then the
bandage is carefully unwound, much
dead cuticle coming off with it. Ulcers
and other sores are often found on the
foot, frequently, too, a large piece ol
flesh sloughs off the solo, and one or two
Iocs may even drop off, in which case
tho woman feels nltcrward repaid by
having smaller and more delicate feet.
Each time the bandage is taken oil
the foot is kneaded, to make the joints
more flexible, and is then bound up
again as quickly as possible with a fresh
bandage, which is drawn up more
lightly. During tho first year the pain
is so intense that the sufferer can do
nothing, and for about two years the
foot aches continually, nnd is the seal
f a pain which is like the piieking ol
-Imrp needles. With continued rigor
■us binding tho foot in two years bit-
omos dead, and ceases to ache, and ti c
vvhole leg, from the knee downward,
becomes shrunk, so as to be little more
than skin and bone. When once formed,
ho “ golden lily,” as the Chinese lady
alls her delicate little foot, can uevei
recover its original shape.

CoRlldouce Women.
The skill displayed by that class com
monly known as confidence women de
serves notice, says the New York cor
respondent ot tlio Troy 7imcs. One of
this class recently included a railway
conductor among her victims, iris loss
being of a heavy amount. Hail way men
are generally very shrewd, but in this
case Conductor Perrin was completely
duped by the smooth statements of the
confidence woman, who obtained more
than a thousan i dollars by her artifices
She became acquainted with her victim
while traveling on his train, and per
suaded him to advance money in order
to aid her in recovering a largo estate.
Sho gave mmy good references, one of
which was Robert Bonner. This is a
very common trick nmong swindlers,
who know that when a good name is
given few ever make inquiry. Bonner,
however. wo3 questioned after the fraud
became known, and his reply was that
fie had no acquaintance with any such
person. Conductor Perrin lias acquired
an experience which ought to be really
valuable, since it has cost so much.
The remarkable nerve, tact and
general skill exhibited by one of this
class of women shows a genius for fraud
which is really surprising. Two of her
victims]wero among the most penetrative
and astute business men in this city,
who, However, in her hands became
facile dupes. One of these was a re
ceiver ofsto.en diamonds, whose death
has recently been mentioned. He had
for twenty years been dealing with
burglnrs and pickpockets, and was con
sidered unusually sharp, but she manip
ulated him in a very ready manner.
After he had suffered a heavy loss he
awoke to the fact that there was at least
one woman who was his master. Her
next victim was Babbitt, the magnate of
the soap trade, who had boen
robbed by his bookkeeper to a heavy
amount. One day a young woman called
at his office and interested him by a
statement concerning the above-men
tioned bookkeeper of a surprising char
acter. She readily convinced the soap
man that she could put him on the track
of the lost money if a small sum were
advanced to meet expenses. Such was
the skill of this'remarkable confidence
operator that she had obtained $19,0H0
from Babbitt before bis suspicion was
aroused. He then learned too late that
he had been merely duped by a profes
sional Bwindler who addedthe graces of
Tlio Camera’s First Work In Amoricu.
The following is the account, as pub
lished ten ycavs ago, of the first daguer
reotype picturo, taken by Professor
Morse, inventor of the telegraph: Its
first trial he made during the summer
of 1838 upon a plate of plated copper
found in a hardware store. It was
about the &izeof a common playing-card
Fite professor adjusted the apparatus at
a back window in the stairway at tin-
back of the University of New York,
which fronts on Washington square;
the same University where the lamented
Winthrop used to live, nnd where lie
wrote his charming stories. The ob
ject taken was tho Unitarian church,
now the Globe theater, w rich stands op
posite the New York hotelon Broadway.
Tile hotel was not then built, and all the
space, now a solid mass of houses, be
tween the university and the church,
was unoccupied, so that Professor Morse
had a clear view of the church. Wiih
'ntense curiosity and much oxcilemen-
he adjusted tho camera, prepnred tho
chemicals, and proceeded to take the
picture. He was successful in obtain
ing an impression, although, owing to
the impurities of the silver upon the
plate, it was defective. Yet it assured
Professor Morse that the process was
genuine. Titis was the first daguerno-
type ever taken in America.
The First Criminnl Trial In Pennsjl-
vauto*
The first criminal trial in Pennsyl
vania is a curious attestation ol the mild
and gentle spirit in which the Quaker
colonizer managed iris American farm.
Early in 1683 the first jury was impan
eled at Coaquannocks, or Philadelphia,
for the trial of one Pickering, with,
others ns accessories, who were con
victed before the governor and council
of counterfeiting the Spanish silver
money current in the colony. The sen
tence was that ho was to pay a fine of
£10 toward the building of a court
house, standing committed until pay
ment, find securities for his good be
havior, and make restitution in good
silver to the holders of his base coin,
which, being first melted down, was to
be restored to him.
Spots on the son are sometimes
freckles and sometimes photographs of
a mother’s loving but weighty hand.
