WHY SOME WOMEN WED-
PRETTY “BAB” GIVES SOME DIF
FERENT REASONS FOR MAR
RIAGE.

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.
