Female Clerks at Ti’av’: ing^n.
The government kindly nllows its
clerical employes hero one imutl.’s Have
of attseiieo with paydurii <; the year, imt
as there ore few, especially of the lady
cli rks, lmt lose a part < 1 this in driblets,
through sickness or family cures, during
the other eleven months. There are not
many who are gone the full thirty (lays
vn the summer. Some are even too poor
to go at all—those who have dependent
families around them hero and must
needs keep up a home whether they go
or stay. These take their vacations for
family sewing. The women who go
away on vacations go quite regularly to
their old houses at the North, the East or
the W cst. They are good women, almost
invariably, with warm home attachments,
and they seek the old roof-iroe fos the
annual blessing of the white-haired
failier ami mother or to 1 r'gliten the 1 ot
of the invalid sister with a visit and a
nice present.
I wish that people who write so flip
pantly of female Department clerks knew
the nobly and even pathetic lives of the
large majority of them as I know them.
If 1 were at liberty to write their his
tories, it would be more interesting and
clcvai. -g fo read than tho biographies of
the same number of wives of onr average
public men. I speak from intimate ac
quaintance with both classes.
The Department ladies almost uniform
ly wear linen lawn suits for office duty in
warm weather. Some dress entirely in
white, and manage to look fresh and
dainty in it always. Their faces get a
tired look that is inseparable from a
business woman, hut it does not obliterate
the. mark of the gentlewoman which dis
tinguishes most of them. Many of them
suffer'from chronic ailments incident to
their enforced sedentary life; but on an
avearage they do not wear out as soon
as teachers, their labor being of a less
exhausting nature. Uncle Samuel, though
a little rigid in some of his exactions, is,
on the whole, the best taskmaster and
the best paymaster that a woman can
labor for; and I wish his service were
roomy enough to include twenty times as j
many of them as now.— Washington \

A defender of America lias arisen
among English novelists in Amelia B.
Edwards who in her story of “Lord
Kraokeubsuy” now publishing in Har
per’s llir. ir makes’a Countess of Ameri
can Birth sav to an impertinent Eng
lishwoman: “It seems to us that you
keep your clever people at arm’s length,
rather—as if they hadn’t been properly
introduced, or as if you wanted to know
about their fathers and grandfathers. I
dare say I'm wrong; hut that is our im
pression in America.” “We certainly
don't send a man oat as ambassador tc
Paris or Berlin because he happens to
have written a comic novel, or edited a
newspaper,” said Lady Symes. “Ah,
no—of course not; but, then, yon. see,
you are a great historic nation. You
have your traditional school of diplomacy
—at the Foreign Office, isn’t it, Lady
Symes?—one of the genteel idiot asy
lums you mentioned just now. We have
nothing of that sort—no traditions, you
know; not even so many idiot asylums as
you have. But then we have no younger
sons of noble birth to push through the
'world. That, of course, makes a differ*

Won a Wife by His 'Tongue.
A frisky old bachelor who lives above
j Willow Bauch commenced a correspond
ence with a girl bring in the cast a
; short time ago, and filially proposed to
[ her that if she would come out to Cali-'
1 fomia he would marry her. She con
sented, and he remitted the money to
her. She arrived iu Reno, Nevada, and
stopped over a few days to rest. While
there she heard bad accounts of Modoc;
was told that the elevated portion of the
country was buried under snow, and the
low-lands were deep under water; that
flour and sugar there were none, and
when the sun sets the natives go to bed
on account of not having lights. The
vile wretch who slandered (?) Modoc to
her had an ax to grind. After thoroughly
scaring her out of the idea of coming to
Modoc County, he proposed marriage to
her, and was accepted forthwith, she
deeming it more sensible to marry a
young man and live in a pleasant home
than take such desperate chances out
here. —Modoc (Cal.) Independent.

Hints About Caring for Horse*.
Give hoi- es salt frequently.
Hoad horses should have their front
feet si'i::<-u with iiax seed meal twice a
w.i-Sr.
V :.en light shoes arc needed, partic
ularly hind ones, have them made of
cast-steel.
Don’t hook your horse to the sleigh"

mere trace.

\\ hen h v -s overreach fi u .vihcn the
hind shoes; wi.eu they Hit the front of
the hind fee' have ill ■ toes of the front

in -i de.
Some hor-es when trot; h.g, in put
ting theT li'ml feet to tho ground,strike
principally on the 100 s. :h horses
should ha e the heels lowered, and
rhould we r shoes without heels.
Skunk eabb?go is said to bo good for
heaves in teaspoon ill doses, night and
morning. Moisten the hay and grain,
lie <■ refill with tlio diet. Never work a
heavy horse on a full stomach.
Steel bits should be kept in a warm
place until they are placediathe horse's
mouth. Any person can realize the
sensation of placing a cold bit in the
horse’s moil h by first tou liing it with
liis own tongue.
When heels and toes are required on
a horse’s shoes, instead of having tlio
shoe turned down for heels have the
heels welded on. The heel should be
put on half an inch from the end of a
shoe and p aced lengthwise.
If yo r double team did not work to
suit you to day, one crowding to t.ho
pole wh ie the other would pull his
head to one side, see that the reins are
r elit, and in hooking them to your
wagon to-morrow put the oil’horse on
the near side.

IV bo murdered Morgan.
; “I know how Morgan was lulled,”
I said Thiuiow Weed, “and where and
v. ken lie v. as killod, and who kill and him.
: It was a dreadful murder.”
, “How do I know?” he asked, repeat*
i irg my question. “ I know becauno tho
criminal:; themselves confessed it to mo
j before they died.”
“Is it possible 1” I said. “Will you
| tell the public about it?”
“Yes. I have told it partially before,
i It was in 1831, about flvo years after the
| sudden disappearance of Morgan, that on
my trial for libeling the Masons, two men
volunteered to be my witnesses. One of
these men was John Whitney.”
“I think,” Mr. Weedsaid, “the other was
tho man who had charge of the old fort
where Morgan was confind by Iris captors.”
He went on :
“ I invited them to eat some oysters
with me after tho trial, and while wo
I were: at Hie table John Whitney consent
| ed, iu reply to jour urgency, to make a
i clean brest of it about the murder of
I Morgan. Ho declared the terrible secret
bad biyfii a biu deti on him day and night,
and then lie told who the men were who
l ift the Lodge one dark night to put
Morgan out of tho way, lost he might re
veal tho secrets of the Order, lie said
he was one of the men. The others were
Colonel William King, Garside, Howard
and Clinbboek. They went to tho fort,
bound the prisoner hand and foot, laid
| him in a boat, carried him to about the
j middle part of Niagara Hirer, where ii
i was two miles to either shore, and there,
! tying weights to his head aud heels, the y
| flung lum overboard. When lie had told
| the story, Whitney said ho felt relieved.
! The other witness turned to him and said,
; ‘John, Weed can hang you now.’ Wes,’
j said Whitney, ‘but he won’t. I thought
! much about my duty to the public, fiat*
|it was obvious,y impossible to convict
bim unless he would say solemnly in
Court what ho said to me.
“It was nearly thirty years afLrward
when I met John "Whitney in Chicago,
when I was there at the Convention in
1860. lle came tome a: alsaidhe wanted to
wake a (fareful confi : si >u for mo to write
| down, to publish after his death. There
was nobody oka ha dared to trust .it fg>,
he said. I agreed to commit Lir dreadful
secret to paper as soon as the Couv-ntion
adjourned. The hour it adjourn-d he
was waiting for mo at my hotel. I was
in the depths of disappointment, and was
busy with a hundred things, and I told
Whitney that I should come back to
Chicago shortly and would then attend to
it. We exchanged letters after that, but
he died suddenly, and I never saw him
again.”
“ The Chicago papers,” I said, “onght
to look up his relatives of friends there,
and see if he left any document or told
his secret.”
“ Ye3,” he replied, “it would be well.
It is strange, by the way, that every one
of those five murderers are dead, and all
but one died violent deaths. Colonel
King committed suicide, and Garside was
kicked to death by a horse.”
—Oscar Wilde appears to have had
his day. He recently arrived in London
after a prolonged visit in this country,
and the journals there, in chorus,
poured an indefinitely large amount of
scorn, derision, sneers and contempt
upon the would-be philosopher. The
aesthetes will probably retire with him
and wait for the advent of the next
craze. —The Advance.

Natural ou a ouuii rarm,
Among the first of natural advantages
on a small farm is a good husband and
a good wife. One other thing i will
say—whatever you undeitakc to do, do
it better than you did before. Never
mind whether you exceed your neigh
bors or not—beat yourselves. What "we
admire in a plant or animal we admire
more in a man—that is growth, if you
are making beef, or pork, or mutton", oi
milk or butter or cheese, or working
oxen or trotting horses, make them bet
ter next time, especially if you make
things for the judgment day of the mar
ket. So of vegetable or fruit products.
Let withered and inferior goods come
by railroad. Don’t let the market know
of your going back in quallity any. It
will despise and never forgive you if you
do. Again, don’t try to do too much of
a kind, nor too many kinds of things.
To excel in leaping, you can’t jump "in
all directions—you mast throw your
heft toward one point.— J. B. Alcolt.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.
—Germany is to give §25,000 for
scientific exploration in Africa and
other countries during the financial year
1883-4.
—Dr. Gatling, of Hartford, Conn.,
has patented an arrangement by which
he is enabled to fire his gun at any ele
vation. This is considered one of thd
most remarkable achievements of gun
nery.—N. F, Pont.
—Albemarle County,Va., yearly ships
a supply of Albemarle pippins to Queen
Victoria. This famous apple can not be
produced elsewhere than in Albemarle
county, losing its distinctive flavor if
grown in any other soil.
—The rice paper of commerce is not
paper grown from rice, as its name
would imply, hut is the pith of a certain
plant cut spirally with a very sharp
knife, opened out into sheets, ana
pressed flat, when it is ready for the
market. —Chicago News.
—Dispatches from Calcutta report
that the Attock bridge across the Indus
in the Punjab is nearly completed, and
that trains are likely to ran over it by
the Ist of May. This will give India an
unbroken lino of railway from Calcutta
to I’ershawur, a distance of some 1,600
miles.
—lndustrial art now employs the
skins of certain sharks in jewelry, as for
sleeve buttons and the like—these,when
dried and polished, almost equaling tha
choicest stones, and greatly resembling
the fossil coral porites. The vertebral
of the shark are always in demand for
canes. The opening filled with mar
row during life i3 for this purpose fitted
with a steel or iron rod, tho side opens
ings are filled with mother-of-pearl,and,
when polished, the cane is decided or
namental.—N. Y. Sim.
—Frank Kittredge, of Danville, Vt.,
has constructed a model for anew steam
engine, whose chief distinction is that it
does away entirely with the piston
movement. Mr. Kittredge’s engine con
sists of a deep rimmed wheel, with
movablo floats therein, something on
tho plan of a turbine water-wheel, and
the steam is discharged against the in
closed wheel, which ho claims will furn
ish a steady and continuous power, and
more of it than can be procured from
the piston movement.
—Among the various uses to which
electricity may bo put there is one of a
very practical nature, which promises
to effect a very great saving of property
and life. It consists of an arrangement
for the immediate stopping of an engine,
by merely pressing a button similar to
those by which electric bells and fire
alarms are sounded. This button may
be placed at any distance from tho en
gine upon which it acts, and the invent
or proposes that a number of such but
tons should be placed throughout the fac
tory or elsewhere where the apparatus is
in use. The principle of the contrivanca
depends upon tho action of an electro
magnet upon the stop valve of the en
gine.—Chicago Tribune.
—ln an article published iu one of tha
German scientific journals on the effect
of the color of glass bottles on tha
liquids contained in them, some inter
esting facts are stated It appears from
this that liquors contained in colorless
bottles, when for some time to
the light, acquire a disagreeable taste,
notwithstanding the fact "that tlioy may
have been of superior quality before be
ing so treated; liquors contained in
brown or green bottles, however,remain,
unchanged in quality, even if exposed
to direct sunlight. Since, then, the re
sults in question are due to the chemical
action of light, it follows that red,
orange, yellow, green or-opaque bottles
arc essential to tho preservation of
liquors, while colorless, blue and violet
ones are to be discarded.
.'l: 'Z"iA
A Masher Mashed.
Ono of the many handsome young la
dies residing in tho aristocratic portion,
of tho ancienl suburb of Bcllvillo packed
up a small “grip-sack” ono morning re
cently, and departed for a visit with a
friend at one of tho many picturesque
stations that abound on the Cincinnati,
Hamilton and Dayton railroad. Finding,
upon her arrival at Cincinnati, that she
had several hours in which to make the
train, and as she also wished to purchase
several’of “those things” so essential to
tho completion of a young lady’s ward
robe, sho concluded to mnko her pur
chases aud pass a portion of her surplus
time in walking to the depot. She made
her purchases aud was leisurely strolling
along Fifth street, admiring the latest
summer styles, when her meditations
were brought to an abrupt tcrminatiou
by a dapper, dandified little fellow, who
was rigged up in one of the very latest
style summer suits. His cranium was
covered with a hat constructed upon the
second-story plan, a pair of eye-glasses
straddled tho bridge of his Homan nose,
and a sweet, killing smile npi’Gpriatcly
adorned Ids countenance. Stepping up,
ho politely lifted his hat and accosted
her thus: “ Excuse-ah’-me, Miss, may
I-ah’m-havo tho ah’-m-pleasure of curry
ing your portmanteau ?” The youno l
looked at him, lieftH-*- ’ I’TT'.’c
~, .. —cu a moment as if
mc ‘.-.7,ting whether it would be safe to
trust him, and with a “certainly, sir,
certainly,” handed him the “grip-sack,”
which the handsome Lothario took, at
the same time tipping a wink to a couple
of friends who were loafing on the corner.
The couple started toward tho depot,
aud .os they meandered along the young
riian tried to sui!:? un a conversation with
tho young lady; but*slie evidently wasn’t
in a very talkative mood, as she could'not
be induced to speak only in answer to
direct questons,- and those she answered
in monosyllables. Arriving at the depot-,
tho young lady, to the consternation of
tiro young masher and the amusement of
his friends, who had followed them just
to watch developments, pulled out her
pocket-book, and handing him a dime,
said, in a voice loud enough for the by
standers to hear; “I’m really sorry, but
it’s all tho change I have; I’m very much
obliged to you for your kindness. I as
sure you it is appreciated, and should j
ever meet you again I will give you fifteen
cents as it is certainly worth a quarter.”
—Cincinnati Paper.
London Echo: Tho nso of steel for
marine boilers lias of late increased rap
idly: but, if tho latest news from the
Clyde is trustworthy, the Board of Trade
will need to bo very cautious in sanction
ing its employment, for it is reported
that the steel boilers for the Czaj’s yacht
Livadia have failed under the test, and
have all been condemned. Somo emi
nent marine engineers refuse to use it,
but several new passenger steamers have
been fitted with boilers of steel, and a
grave responsibility has been incurred
by their owners.
M. Sijimonak has produced a peetsiias
effect in portraits. A negative ii ths
sitter is taken with his eyes wide open
and another with his eyes shut. One of
these is printed on each side of the paper
in such a way that the front and back
images exactly coincide. When the two
sides are then alternately illustrated by a
lamp a portrait is presented with the eyes
opening and shutting, and if the light is
noved rapidly tho singular spectacle of a
-hiking photograph is shown.
