\ , WHY SOME WOMEN WED- PRETTY “BAB” GIVES SOME DIF FERENT REASONS FOR MAR RIAGE. lOMEN WIIO MARRY HEEDLESSLY AND M)MK who WISELY wed—how to have a HARPY NEW YEAR—a woman’s CHRISTMAS STOCKING. ENQUIRER-SUN: COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 28, 1890. Nkw York December 26, 1890.—[Spe cial.]—At a fashionable wedding the ,,tlier day a man said to me, “What to women marry for?” I thought a little bit and I said, “Experience.” And he answered me. “What do you think men □airy for?” And I told him I believed ■> was because men thought it was the □roper thing to do, and that although he' wasn't supposed to be a particularly proper animal, man looked out very much more for the proprieties than does woman. WHAT DO WOMEN MARRY FOR. Women are lovely, exceptionally lovely ,t criticising the lack of thought displayed v another woman,but blessed little idiots for the sake , of a cause or for the sake of a man they will rush ahead and never mind what the world says, and - $ the man who generally stops them, ib- thinks either of his business or bis social position, and he doesn’t ’impose that either of them will be affected by a woman. You see the day has gone by when a man would do anything for a woman; coun tries need to be either very young or very old when this sort of thing happens, but after all I can’t help but remember that question, “What do women marry for?” Some women marry because they want a home of their own, and these are my con- •hisions: Some v omen marry because they haven’t the moral courage to remain single. Some women marry because they want a liith* more money in their purses and a little Ian: f credit at the shops. Sum,, women marry because they want t .Mrs.” on their visiting cards, one women marry because their mother wants them 10. Sum,- women marry because a man has isked them to and they don’t like to say Some women marry for money—money, md nothing else..' These women get the money ami with it great responsibilities hey never dreamed of. Some women marry because they love man, because they want to he his wife, Ids friend, aud his helpmate; because they want to make him f“el that there is one woman in the world whom he can love and cherish, and from whom .he will receive Jove and consideration in return. Because they want him to feel that if sorrow comes he has a sympathizing, loving friend close beside him, and that in the day of joy ;here is one who can give him smile for -mile. These are tin* women worth marry ing. The others are of little worth never would he missed, if they suddenly dropped .nit of t lie matrimonial bonds. HOW TO HAVE A HAPPY YEAR. ! w ant. to wish every body a Happy New' Year! I want everybody to get their heart’s desire, and more than everythins: else, for everybody to start the New Year aright,. It’s yours—white and un spotted; you can take the great blotter of forgetfulness and obliterate all the meannesses and the sins of the past, and you can photograph with remem brance all its goodness and kindness. You have got to learn to look at the world •aright, and to do this successfully, you md I my friend, want to assume, not the green spectacles of discontent not those that are too rosy and make all things seem good, but glasses made of the finest and clearest pebbles, and which show to the looker through them everything as it really ii. There are times when it seems as if everybody had on the green glasses that make envy, ha'red malice, and all □□charitableness more prominent, and again, because life is sunshiny, the rose-colored ones are assumed, and it is litlicult to believe that anybody is unhappy or in trouble. Now, for 1891 we want the clear glasses, we want to see life, peo ple. hooks, pictures, and beautiful belong ings just as they are, while we know there is sadness, trouble and misery, and seeing tlii s clearly we are going, not only to open our hearts and eyes to it, hut our hands as well. That’s what we want to do for the New Year. That’s what will make it a happy New Year. ARE WE GOOD OR ILL-MANNERED? Lookin': out in one way it may be an- mmneed that we are at once the most chivalric and the worst-mannered nation in the world. Too much independence of institution has resulted in too much in dependence ot manner, and there is very slight inclination to respect either illness or old fage. Fashionable women go to the ■ipenvlisplay their charms, or their lack it them, believe that a throat like an el derly chicken’s is made beautiful by au 'hiborate necklace, talk through an entire scene, and then when some man who feels hat. ns he paid for it lie would like to hear the music, ventures to hiss at the v contingent, they glare at him and ■hide that he is a bore. Now, that ! ribe of v. omen deserve to be hissed down, ml every one of them ought to go home h their cheeks flaming because of the t rudeness, an* 1 for the coming year h each day in every week wliat real politeness is. TOO Ml CH IMPOLITENESS ABROAD. We ere- greatly given to talking ilu u respecting the rights of the union. We haven't the least particle of consideration for the in- iividu.il Impoliteness exists in every Mass „f society, and is the one vice upon which the rich and poor agree to meet to- :i'thcr. Our young girls are in such a urn to have a good time, that they for th ■ deference due to older women ; -ms are in such a hurry to make nomy and to be howling swells, that they never give a thought to the experi- tlioir fathers, whose advice they b consider worth having, and whom - ate inclined to call “the old man. ' - r\anrs, treated without any consid- v n are impertinent and ill-mannered, i he maid's lack of politeness is only a reflection of her mis- breeding. Looking at things i ;h dark glasses? No. Think it all with me, and you will see, as a na- are bad mannered, very bad man- !. mu that we will only reach perfect ss when we, as indivi luals, think due lo our self respect to show polite- -- to each man, woman and child. A woman’s CHRISTMAS STOCKING. What did you get in your Christmas -k ng? Was it one of the pretty har- iin ones with bells on its toes, that u ide music whenever anything was ■ ppm! in it and seemed to ring a special chime of its own that meant that you were thought about? The for eign . custom of filling the stocking and sending it early Christmas morning has obtained more generally this season than ever before. The clever girl is the one who fills it full of all sorts of little traps that are personal, writes a motto to go with each one, wraps it up in many colored tissue paper, and lets the recipient have an hour of fun opening it. Mine had a beautiful quill—of sugar, and a kindly sentence announcing that sweet words wpuld emanate from it. Then there was a savings-box of pasteboard with a small devil in sealing wax sitting on top of it, and an announcement appended that the surplus funds would be the salvation of the household. Then there was a lovely candy dog, pink and white, with' a tail twice as big as he was, and he told in written words that he would be cheaper than a fox terrier to keep, less fickle, and if starvation seemed imminent, could be eaten with greater pleasure. Then there was a tiny calendar with a hope that every day in the year might be a golden one, and an imitation of a guitar filled with candies and a Thanksgiving that I had never learned to play upion it. A tiny tur key with a whistle* in his tail that was loud and shrill, and he had on him to adorn a tale this misquotation, “Oh, whistle, and I’ll come to you, Bab!” There was a beautiful stick of peppermint candy, NEARLY AS TALL AS I AM, which claimed to be the staff of life, and there was a rosy-red apple in sugar, the real, original one, so it was stated, that Paris gave to Helen. Another one that was streaked with yellow paint, delight fully indigestible, claimed to be the apple of life that King Solomon sealed up in an urn thousands of years ago, and which was brought to light by recent explorers and donated to me for being a good girl, so that I might live forever. I have not eaten that apple. I am waiting until we have a first-class President and then I in tend to present it to him. I do not feel that 1 am worthy of inflicting myself on the public forever, but when we get a man who is a first-class politician, a gentleman born and bred, and who is in unison with me as far as politics are con cerned, I shall present him with that apple and request that he may eat and live for ever. Just now, as it decorates my desk, the dog of my heart glares at it and thinks that 1 am very stingy not to let him ab sorb that sugar, but I sternly refuse, as I propose that the angels shall have a chance of meeting him and knowing just what his charms are. Frivolous? Well, maybe it is; but a slight dose of frivolity is good for everybody, aud I am sure that if we all took a little more of it we would be better able to stand the woes and worries when they come. WIIAT TO DO NEXT YEAR. So we are going to start the New Year fresh, we are going to do a lot of little things that we might have done last year and didn’t, and these are a few of them: We are going to say the words of affec tion that bring happiness and not just think them. We are going to look pleasant even if we don't feel so, and, funnily enough, the mere looking will make us get so after a while. We are going, if we are women, to mend the frock that is ripped around the bottom, to sew hooks and buttons on, and not resort to pins in a hurry. We are going, if we are men, to be more considerate of women, and not to conclude that their lives are without thought or without worry. We are going, no matter what we are, men, women, or ghosts, or dogs, to be polite—that is to give the smile, the bow, or the paw just as is most convenient to men, women, ghosts or dogs. We are going to read the good books, to look at the beautiful pictures, to appre ciate lovely women, athletic men, sweet babies and amiable puppies. And in this way we will find out and grasp half the good things in life. We are going to wish everybody, from the President who is in to the President who is out, from the intimate friend to the stranger at the gates, a happy New Year, and we are going to mean it aud help to make it one. Won’t you echo back this wish to Bar. THE TRAMP. low to work year in and year out and then divide what he had with a dog of a vaga bond, and he was tired of it.” And Solon considered it “an outrage on civilization and dangerous to the community to let these worthless creatures come and go at will. Who knew at what time one of them might break into our house and murder us all. ’ And Daisy, who had very strong convictions on the subject, announced her intention of “hereafter refusing to give anything to eat to these strong hearty beggars; trifling things, they were able to work, let them do it. It was encouraging idleness and vice and the money given them might be saved and given to the pcor widows and orphans at our doors. This talk of charity and sweet mercy was all right in the right place, but there was no charity in helping to support a great lazy German or an evil-looking Italian.” So it was settled that henceforth the gentleman of the road who happened to ask bread or money at our door would fare very badly indeed, and most likely hear some very plain talk. Then Daisy went out on the front piazza to look at the geraniums and while bending over the flowers heard the gate open and shut, and looking, saw a man come slowly towards the house. A tall, strong, well built young man, with bright eyes, clear, fair complex ion and on his cheeks the ruddy glow of health. He came to a stand-still at the steps with head bent down, eyes sad and down cast and with drooping mouth and weary air looked the picture of woe. He can’t be sick, is Daisy’s conclusion, looks too well for that, must be hungry, poor wretch, about to faint with starvation. Wliat did he want? Something to eat, he had had no breakfast, would the kind lady give him something to eat? Then he heard a sigh and humbly raised bis des pairing eyes with a pitiful appeal. Well, according to the unanimous vote of the circle around the fire in the sitting room, the poor, starved creature was given a plate of food. But when Daisy, thinking to give a little sauce in the way of a kind word, asked him some questions as to his nationality, behold, our weak, sad tramp forgot his woe and threw back his head, while liis eyes sparkled, his whole face glowed with enthusiasm as he spoke of the Fatherland. Even his broken speech gave way to very good English, and instead of a sad-eyed, starving beggar there stood a strong, hearty, rosy, jolly fraud. He even showed an iuclanatiun to sit on the steps and eat his breakfast, which was discouraged by the simple-minded alms- giver, and thus turned and walked toward the gate. As the gentle wind toyed with the little tags which fluttered from his ancient clothes, and blew little flecks of cotton from his hat and hair, (tie had slept the sleep of the conscienceless ou somebody’s cotton pile the night be fore) bringing back the odor of garlic and tobacco from the bundle of soiled rags in his hand. Daisy walked backed to the other consistent individuals in lours and gave it as her solemn conviction that the tramp was a fraud, pure and simple, a nec essary evil which had to be tolerated along with small-pox, cholera and other evil things, and had to be taken as he came. So we make no more resolutions concern ing tramps. Daisy Gkkenleaf. SHORT HAND. SOME OF HIS PECULIAR IDIOSYNCRACIES. HOW HE SHOULD RE TREATED. Seale, Ala., December 27.—About this time every year the tramp be gins to emigrate Southward, following the lead of jay birds, woodpeckers, and others of a feather. He does not, how ever, slip off in the night, as the wood peckers are said to do; not lie. He chooses the glad open daylight to travel by and goes bravely through the land, fearing nothing and nobody. About this time every year too, we, one and all, begin to have very pronounced opinions on this subject, and to air them very freely. Everybody has a word to say—around the fireside, on the street, iu the papers and courts—this untiring excursionist is dis cussed and denounced and declared an out cast. a robber and a fraud. Why do we talk so much and so teiribly of him and then so on feeding and speaking kindly to him and .giving him money every time he comes? That is the thing I can t un derstand. Yes, the tramp is a homeless, nameless, frowsy, dirty, begging, murderous vaga bond, a swarthy citizen of the toughest variety. He is all that. According to our judgment this jabbering vagrant ought to have the dogs set at him; the boys oucht to stone him out of town; the men ought to compel him to move on, on pain of in stant annihilation, and the women slam the door in his face and order him to go away and not come begging honest folks for their hard earned bread. Then somebody gives a little lecture on the. inefficiency of the vagrant laws. Here’s a lot of worthless cut-throats for ever tramping, tramping from one end of the country to the other, never doing a day’s work, seoriyng to cut a stick ot' wood or dr iw a bucket of water in return for liis dinner, yet fed on the best in the land. They ought, every one of them, be arrested and put to work ou the chain- gang and compelled to keep in order the roads they so faithfully assist in wearing out. So we talk, and the tramp comes, is fed gets nickels aud old clothes (when he will "condescend to have them), tobacco and otuer little necessaries, and wanders serenely away to the next town where lie well knows some good housekeeper has his dinner cooked and ready for him. One day not long ago, it was a Sunday too and we all sat around talking a,nd reading the Enquirer Sun and enjoying the rest of the seven!u day, as we had a right to do after six days of hard work, the conversation turned on the tramp. One of the boys thought it “blamed hard ou a fel- SOME INTERESTING FACTS IN REFERENCE TO STENOGRAPHY AND TYPE WRITING. Editor Enquirer-Sun: As there is considerable interest being manifested at this time among the yonug ladies and gen tlemen of Columbus, in regard to short hand, I trust that au article touching upon the history and progress of this art, may prove attractive to those engaged in its study, as well as to the reading public in general. There is no branch of knowl edge, acquired in so short a time, which promises such pleasant aud remunerative employment to those who engage in it. To young ladies who are dependent upon their own exertions for a living, it presents a field of labor which is not only more re munerative than the ordinary work which is commonly allotted to ladies who have to work, but it has the advantage of being highly respectable; besides sucli work is generally performed in offices where every comfort and convenience has been ar ranged for those who labor there. It is only very recently that lady stenographers have been employed to any great extent in the South, but now they are beginning to regard this as a most desirable employ ment, aud the schools of short hand and type writing number young ladies as about one half of their pupils. To young men, short-hand and type writing paves the way for more rapid ad vancement in various business enterprises than any other art, so easily acquired. Especially in a great many offices win re the general work is of such a nature that ladies could not well perform it, and where perhaps there is not enough of short-hand and type-writing to justify the employ ment of a stenographer. Iu such cases, a young man is wanted who can combine short-hand with other work, and in so doing, his knowledge of the art may enable him, aud often does, to command a much larger salai’y than he would other wise be able to do. Short-hand or some abbreviated form of writing, was no doubt employed by the ancients, as is evidenced by the writings and inscriptions of the Egyptians, Persians anil Greeks. We have proof that about the year 09 B. C. Marcus Tullius liro, the freedman, and friend of Cicero, invented a system of "not.e which, with various modifications and improvements, or ad ditions, was commonly’ taught in scnools, and became a part of the education of Emperors, and was extensively practiced for several centuries. Through the middle a o-es. the art seems to have been neglected, "shorthand, as we now know it, properly dates from the reign of Elizabeth. Dr. Timothe Bright in 1588 issued a small book entitled “ Characters, an Arte of shorle, swifte and secrete writing by Char actor.” This work was dedicated “To the most high and mightie Prince Elizabeth, by the Grace of God, of England, Traunce and Ireland, Queene, Defender of the Faith etc.’’ This author says of his method: “ The uses are divers. Sliorlt, that a swifte hande may therewith ■'rile orations, or publike actions of speech, ut tered as becometh the grauitie of such actions, verbatim, secrete, as no kinde of wryting like, and herein excelling the wry- tin.or by letters and alphabet.” Hln closing the introduction to his book, after giving his reasons for dedicating it to the Queen,~ Dr. Bright adds: “Hit may be so happy as to enjoye the influence of your majesties favoure and glide liking, I doubt not but it will growe up, be em braced, and yeeld profitable fruite to many, and I thereby myself shal have attained for my particular respect that which in a lower degree many shal enjoy the use of this my enuentio, which I hope (be it sayed with modestie) wanteth little to equall it, with that olde deuise of Ciceroes, but your I Majesties allowance aud Ciceroes name. ’ . 1590 Peter Bales issued a work en titled “The art of Brachygraphy, that is to wryte as fast as a man speaketh treata- bly, wryting but one letter for a word.” In 1602 Cuthbert Burbie printed a book called “The Art of Stenographie, teaching by plaine and certaine Rules, to the ca pacity of the meanest, and for the use of all professions, the way of compendious wryting. \Y hereunto is annexed a very easie direction for Stenographie, or Secrete Wryting.” In the same year John Willis issued what is generally considered the first English stenographic alphabet, based upon the orthography of the language. The systems of Dr. Bright, Bales and Burbie were simply representations of a character or stroke for each word, thus compelling the student to commit to memory an al most countless number of characters, or as they are now termed, word signs. This early and necessary incomplete method, of course differed very materially from short hand as it is now written. New systems have been appearing every few years, ne- cesitaied perhaps by the change in the English language, the acquisition of new words and phrases and the general desire of men learned in any art of science to engraft into it all new methods and forms which would be necessary to meet the re quirements of a progressive people. The principal system of shorthand used in England now is that of Isaac Pitman, first published in 1837. This system has gone through a great many editions, and has been greatly improved since its first issue. The systems which have the largest pat ronage in the United States are those of Ben Pitman, published first in 1855, Andrew J. Graham, publi-hed in 1858, and James E. Munson, published in 18(57. The Bureau of Education, at Washing ton, D, ()., iu 1884issued a sin 11 pamphlet giving a great deal of valuable informa tion in regard to short hand, and in that pamphlet is given the number of works on short ban I, in all languages known at that time, as follows: Latin, 91; English, 780; Welch, 8; French, 490; Spanish, 71; Port ugese, Hi; lial an, 151; Roumanian, 6; Sclavonian, 3; Bohemian, 33; Russian, 52; Polish, 22; Slovenian. 3; Uroa ion, 7; Bul garian, 4; Hungarian. 75; Finnish, i; Dan ish, 7; Norwegian, 1; Swedish, 22; Gre cian, 3; Turkish, 1; Dutch, 14; German, 1,434. 1 cannot, iu, a communication of this kind, attempt to go into detail in regard to the employment of stenograpners in the different countries of the world. I believe all civilized countries have laws providing for the employment of stenographers iu their parliaments and law-making bodies, and generally in court#. In the United States, all the States and Territo ies have laws providing for the employment of stenogra phers in their legislative bodies and in courts of record. The enactment of laws providing for the employment of stenog raphers in courts in some of the Sta’es, is of comparatively recent date, although stenographers were employed in courts of record even before such laws were en acted, but it was always done by request, and at the expense of the parties litigant. The first, Slate law authorizing the em ployment of a stenographer by a court, was passed iu the State of New York in 1800. Other States passed similar laws soon after. I think Georgia provided for the employment of stenographers in the Supe rior Courts in 1870. Tiie noLcs of an official stenographer are legal evidence within the State under whose laws they were taken, of the testi mony of which they purport to be a record. Amanuensis work, however, presents the largest field for short-hand writers who do not attain that excellence which is required in the higher grades of work, that is, court reporting, legislative work, reports of meetings, conventions, etc. A speed of from 75 to 100 words per minute will enable, any one to do amrnuensis work with safety. Laws providing for the employment of court stenographers gener ally fix the minimum speed at which they must be able to write with accuracy, which ranges from 125 to 175 words per minute. I am inclined to thiuk. however, that the most difficult work, and that requiring the highest degree of speed and accuracy, is in the reporting of proceedings of meetings, conventions, etc., verbatim.
