A WOMAN’S WORK.
ACTING THE GOOD SAMARITAN
IN A GREAT CITY.
Miss Hattie Strachn’a Mission on
West Twenty Seventh Street.
New York World.
About two years ago Miss
Strachn, a private and before that
time unheard-of little lady, except
here and there in hospitable wards,
hired the building No. 103 West
Twenty-seventh street and opened
it as a mission bouse. Miss
Srachn’s delicate appearance,
Lightened a great deal by her
black bonnet and severe dress, was
and is in strorg contrast to her en
ergy and enthusiasm. She chang
ed the two parlors into one long
room, put half a dozen rows of
seats m it, a ] ulpit arid an organ
.and then declared that she would
regenerate the thoroughfare from
end to end. She did so and yes
terday the building No. 105 next
to the old house, was dedicated to
the same purpose.
The services began at 10:30
o’clock. Little Miss Prime was
the first to arrive. The Rev. Wal
ler C. Stewart, a stout gentleman
withan iron gray beard whopreach
es to the fallen women and druns
kinds, came in next, fie took his
scat behind the pulpit, and when
the procession of women in torn
and tattered garments passed in
Miss Strachn * white fingers wore
flying oyer the organ keys. The
sporting men along Sixth avenue
could hear the hymn she Was play
ing and singing. Dr. S. Ircmv’us
Prime walked down the aisle and
sat next to Mr. Stewart.
The audience was the same as i
the magnet of human sympathy
always draws to mission houses.
There weic some girls there, young
in years, but bearing the impres
sions of their reckless lives on
their faces; there were some old
women there, too, with tangled
gray locks, and scattered around
were half a dozen men with stolid
faces.
“We have taken 715 from around
here,” said Miss Strachn. “and 610 !
of them, men and women, are wor-'
king now. When we came here
first every window jn this street
was crowded with disreputable
women. There isn’t one in tbp. bbw.lr
now."
Miss Strachn’s head was welcom
ing her wards as she spoke. She
was asked how she worked rhe
change and said: “Why, like this:
We took a house that had a halco
ny in front of it so we could sit out
on it and sing. Os course when
we began these women sat across
the street and laughed at us. But
don't you know once in a while we
sang the right hymn and some line
or other in it went down in their
hearts. Then 1 played the organ,
or some one else did, and we tilled
this street with sacred music.
“Men and women used t:> stand
in front of this balcony and sing
street songs, but we kept right
along. Every now and again one
of the inmates of the h.-tiscs would
stagger into our mission house and
reel around while we were at prays i
er. We would always treat them
kindly. We would take them into
the back room and let them sleep
off the effects of drink. Sometimes
the woman would go right away
and leave us. Still there is a grain
of good in all human hearts. She
would come back again and stay
with us. e used tc pick men up
intoxicated in the street and care
for them, and so the work went om
The women across the street came
to us. Caph '•'» illiams closed tnc
vilest of the houses, but there are
still here many poor women who
need our help.
The delicate and energetic little
lady suddenly moved away to shake
the hand of a girl that came into
the room in a shamed, frightened
manner. Dr. Prime stood up in
the pulpit, lie spoke about God s
love and told a nd women
that the same Saviour was waiting
for them now as the one theii moth
ers taught them of when they were
children. He also spoke of MBs
Strachn and her noble work, ami
he concluded by asking the ‘. onvens
whether they did not loci happici
in the path of virtue tnan in the
road of sin.
Miss Strachn’s fingers passed ov
er the ivory keys of the organ, and
the-girls and women sang a hymn.
One verse was particula aly appro
priate, and ran like tbi-.:
Ilesciv the per;-‘hi ng.
Comfort the dying;
Jevus is merci fill,
Jesus will save.
When a dark complexioned girl,
dressed very neatiy, stood up nd
said she had been saved by Mit?s
Strachn, the young main said she
was very well educated. She said
in one part of her testimony,
only thing th it worries me now
i$ the knowledge that 1 had broken
mother’s heart and sent my father
ther to his grave. My sister isdisgrae
cd and my brother is ashamed to
go out of the house. This was all
through me. I was found in the
street drunk. Miss Strachn picked
me up, and if I cannot blot out the
thicc years of past life I have spent
I can live better in the future.”
“Here,” said the young man at
the door, '‘is Joe Palis, who used
todri/e a hack at Thirty-third
street.”
The convert was gray-headed.
He said he used to want liquor the
| aay the man in the Bible is spoken
•of as wanting one drop of water to
cool his lips from the beat of hell.
' He had been saved too.
Next the young man at the door
I came forward. He had made a
miiliant record. He said he was
once a lawyer in Jersey City. He
sold all his office furniture and de
voted himself to liquor. He came
to laugh and staid to pray. He had
also been converted.
“I think,” said Aliss Strachn,
that we have converted more—
surely as many—as any other mis
sion house, lam so well satisfied
I hat, if we can get funds enough,
I shall purchase this building and I
keep it for the same purpose for all |
time.”
Miss Strachn was asked how she i
had come to be connected with the '
work. She pointed to several
handsomely dressed ladies and ’
said:
“Why just the the way these la? ’
dies have. I used to go to the bos- '
pitals and the prisons and there I !
learned to pify those men and wo
men, As a general thing the
work of convertion is always
complete. Now, you would hard- )
Ip believe it, but out of the hun
dreds we have brought here only j
ten have gone back to their old)
life.” Miss Strachn played the or- I
gan and her charges sang another
hymn.
Then thp Rev. J. B. Morse, pas
tor at the Penitentiary, arose and,
promised to send ex-convicts to
the home. The house was thus J
dedicated by the prayers of the di- )
vines and the hymns cf the women I
who had been saved in it.
In the evening the Rev. D=r Da
costa delivered an address. The
Mouse is called Faith Home.

Ancient and. Modern Authors. I
To the Eiiior of the Detroit Free Press: • |
In estimating the relative advan- ;
tages of ancient and modern litera
ture, it would seem that, consider- i
cd purely as literature and not as a
disciplinary force, the works of the >
great authors of England, Ameri-;
ca, France and Germany at pres- )
ent in general circulation ha v c, by
great odds, the advantage. In all
the different branches of the litera
ry art they excel the ancients. The
wearisome dmdejry necessary to ■
get at the meaning of the
and Greek authors does away .with
the greatness and force of the ideas
and beauty of the sentiments. It is
possible that after a man nas stud- ,
ied Litin diligently eight or ten I
years he can take up Horace and
read him with pleasure, and appre
ciate him as much, possibly, as jf
he were an author of his own na- ;
tive tongue. But Horace is not
to much superior to Byron or len>
nyson or Scott that he is worth
working for seven years, as Jacob
strove for Leah. The magnificent
beautv, the wonderful power and
subtle, exquisite grace of the an
cient writers arc all mythical, o<
rather, they are not a whit more
powerful, or beautiful, or graceful
or natural than om* own authors,
some of whom arc walking about
in our midst.
Omne ignotum pro magnifieo. —
Because they are hard to get at and
absolutely unknown and unknow
able in the original to the great
majoi ity of the people, they aie
considered to contain a moie
ions ichor than the writings of
i those men who have undcimincv
and swept away tyrannical institu
' tions and have elevated and digni
tied the life of modern times.—

genius than Shakespear J
cannot compare with li.m; \ irgd

human heart, aie without a para Lei

It is true that the study of t.ic
ancient languages brings out and
di-ciplines the powers of the mind,
bur so woul I the study of Choctaw
or liindoHanee, or any unknewn
tongue. Whatever they arc worth
as literature cm be learned from
abb* translations, and the mind can
be disciplined by the mathematics
and science and English composi
tion, and the critical st’idv of En

e ARROLLTON, GEORGIA. FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 29, 1885.
I learned as quickly as possible, pre
, ciselyin the way French and Ger>
I man are now taught—by the ait!
or translations—and the studend
should goon to something else, an J
not be kept at the tiresome drill ofi
a tread mill for the mere sake of
drill. It is as had as if a farmed
were to say that he preferred the)
old fashioned scythe and the reap!
; ing hook for the sake of the exer-i
I cise, and would have nothing to do
with the new fangled sulky arrange-!
ment, seating himself in which and
driving a pair of horses, he can cut
and bind all his grain in a few
j horns. To employ five years for
the sake of a discipline which can
i be acquired together with practical
I knowledge in other ways is not
i reasonable. The most thorough,
’ absolute, severe and perfect discip
line to which the mind can be sub
jected in an educational course is
the study of the mathematics. It
: may not be congenial and generally
j is not to a great many students.—
| But if the time given to Latin and
i Greek were spent in the experi
mental study of mathematics and
; the critical study of the English,
french and German literatures the
; student would be much better
equipped for the struggle of life.—
I His mind would be more thorough
ly trained, and his literary tastes
would be more acute and refined.
Having been exercised to a consid
erable extent in a language which
j he understood, his mind would bo
more fruitful of ideas, -having been
fed not on the barren husks of ad
verbs and prepositions, but on the
grand and noble thoughts of great
' J. B/L.
Stephen A Douglas, and Joe Picket
When Douglas swung around
the circle in 1 860,1ie made a speech
at Nashville. Just before he ap
peared on the balcony of the hotel
to address the immense audience
he swallowed two tumblers of un
diluted brandy without batting an
eye, and within two minutes was
delivering the best speech he made
during the canvass, beginning with
the ringing words: “Sixteen years
ago to-day, fellow-citizens, I visited
the city of Nashville, battling for
the principles of Democracy, urg
ing the preferment of a noble son
uianl< ( Eamßf}2iieviction of the hero
and sage at the Hermitage.”
It was a splendid speech, and the
liquor he had drank seemed only
to slightly exhilarate him as tea
the delicate organism of-a
lady.
joe picket, glorious Joe, one of
the Breckenridge electors for the
State. was announced to speak
at the same place in the evening,
Douglas having consumed nearly
all the afternoon. After supper a
great crowd assembled, among
whom were the entire Irish popu
lation of the city. Douglas had
inspired his followers with confi
dence and tilled them with triumph
and the Breckenridge forces depen
dedon J oe. who was a capital speaker,
to dispel the fervor. Mounting a
pile of bale boxes, Picket began a
most effective campaign speech,
and was greeted with cheer upon
cheer. Finally, to tie on the Hib
ernians. he alluded to the charge
of disunionism brought against his
candidate. In a burst of eloquence
he exclaimed: “Fellow citizens, I.
know John C. Breckenridge. If'
th/re be one impulse of his heart
that predominates all others it is a
desire, a yearning to seethe Amer
ican eagle, proud bird of liberty,
pia.ee her beak on the Nortn Pole
and her tail upon the South Pole,
stretch one wing across the Atlan
tic and the other across the Pacific
and rise and soar, and rise and soar,
and rise and soar until—until—
antil s he bursts herself wide
open.”
At this point the Irish made a
rush, seized the speaker, took him
on their shoulders and marched
him through the streets, going
from giocerce to groceii. W hen
Joe was asked what made him
come down from his climax in such
a lame manner he said that he had
gotten the old bird up there, and
he knew of no other way to get
her down.
Douglas was much pleased with
Picket’s speech, laughed immoder> 1
ately at it and promised him any
tiling in his gift when he became I
President.

WORK.
And the Value of System.
From a sketch of Sunset Cox,
I nited States Minister to Turkev,
contributed by frank G. Carpenter
to the Detroit Free Press, we
make the following extract, whioh
Iwe think is worthy the careful at
| tention of every man who is amhi
itiousto accomplish much in life.
I We commend the plan of Mr. Cox
lespecally to students of law and
| those engaged in literary pursuits.
On Saturday last Sunset Cox 1
ginishc-d the last chapter of his new’
g>ook entitled “Three Decades of
Legislation.” He is now
Swmgj’apidly over it, putting on
tte h'nishing towche?, and by the
■riddle of next week it will be' final
ly ready foi the press Mr. Cox is
Berhaps the fastest worker among
American writers, and there is no
Congressman who accomplishes
■lie-third the amount he does in a
given time. On the floor of the
Bouse of Representives he seems to
devoted nights of study espec-
directed to every question
which was sprung upon Congress,
He was found at every big dinner
party and was noted as making the
best after-dinner speechs of his fel
lows, and at the same time the
press and the magazines were teem
ing with articles from his pen. To
’lay he would make a long and
thoughtful speech on the floor of the
House, and to night you would
hear of him delivering an address
td some great associatin or giving
a lecture on music, science or art to
crowded houses. In the midst of
all this he has had time to chat
with his friends, receive his constit
nents, and carry on the business
relating to his private fortune,
which in connection with that of '
his wife is uo small matter.
HOW DOES HE DO IT?
I asked him the question the
other night while we were seated
together in his library talking
about his book and his answer was
“system!” Said he, in substance, “I
began my life in a County Clerk’s
office, and I there learned good bus
iness habits. My college days were
DrTWayland, the’maiT" i J.X_ «nd.r
the political economy. Dr. AVay
land was a great advocate of ex
haustive thought analysis, and he
made his students anal ze every
toing they took up. I ..der him I
learned analytic thinking, and this
1 found of great ad "intage to
self in after years. When I began
a debate on the floor of the House,
I saw the end of my speech before
I said the flitt word, everything
fitted itsself t) proper place, and I
did not repeat, as io often done.
When I studied Blackstone after
leaving college, by the aid of my
training in analysis I found that.
I con'd repeat almost the whole of
it in my own language, and since
then , throughout the whole of my
life, I have found analysis and sys
tem of the greatest value. Before 1
commenced my book I had a skele
ton of the whole work in my mind,
and I had only to fill in the flesh
and send the life blood coursing
through its veins. I am now engage
ed in making the toilet of the
finished structure.”
Mr. Cox here showed me an out
line of his book by chapters, which
he had drawn up during its first
stages, and then some of the comple
ted work, showing how closely his
tirst idea had been carried out.
An off-Hand. Way of Measuring
An Acre.
Few* farmers know the size of
their fields or how many acres they
contain. A I.field of the 'writer’s,
before it came into his possession,
had been plowed and reaped by
contract for fifteen acres. On meas
uring it it was found to have but
twelve
indispensable for gooEwork. that a
farmer should konow how much
each field contains, for otherwise
he cannot apportion seed or man
ure for it, nor can he tell how
much time it should require to be
plowed. A measuring cord should
be part of the furniture on every
farm. To make one, procure sixtys
seven feet of strong rope, one inch
around; make a loop o»* fasten a
ring or a bar at each end, and make
these precisely sizty-.-ix feet a
part. This is four rods. Then tie
a piece of red rag in the center.
One acre of ground will be a pieca
four of the cords (chains] long and
two and one-half wide, equal to
sixteen by ten rods, making 160
sqarc j’ods to one acre. The advan
tage of the ring gt loop is that one
person can measure alone by drivng
a stake in the ground to hold tha
rope, while be strteches it out. Jhe
rope chould be soaked in tar and
dried, which will prevent it from
i shrinking when wet.

A fire in a five story building in
Cincinatti caused the death of 17
persons, on Thursday evening of
last week. The fire shilled from
a can of benzine on the 2nd floor,
the flames shooting rapidly up the
elevator shaft to the fifth story
where a number of girls were em
ployed. Five of these jumped
from the windows and were killed,
tw o were let down by a rope safe
ly, and ten perished in the flames
although the fire lasted only
20 or 25 moments. Even their
clothing was not burned. John
Sullivaq, who saved the two girls
by letting them down with a rope,
was himself descending by the same
means when the rope was burned
in two and he fell to the pavement
and was killed.
Observing the Httle inelegances,
not to speak of the inaeuracies,
into which the great sometimes
fall in the use of English, should
dispose us to great liberality in
criticising the errors of the humble
and unpretending. Mr. McLane,
U. S. Minister to France, in pre
senting his credentials is reported
to have said:
“I have the honor of presenting
my credentials as minister of the
United States of America. I cor
dially share President Cleveland’s
sentiments of respect and fiiendship
toward France and her government.
Although litt'e worthy of the high
mission intrusted to me, all my ef
forts will be toward tightening the
bonds of amity existing between
France and America.”
“All my efforts will be toward
tightening the bonds," is laconic, it
is terse, and may be grammatical,
but hardly up to the standard of
polish \yhich one naturally expects
from a great man. Perhaps how
ever, we should make some allow
ance for the allitteration.

Since their surrender at that time

veilance. Last Sunday night they
broke away from the reservation

“A score of men made love to

lady, “and any one of them might

of the requisites in personal appear

Life.and Health to Me.
Some seven or eight years ago
my right thigh Was covered by a
skin eruption, causing intense itch
ing. In a short time it extended
down the entire leg, which became
inflamed and finally" broke out in
small sores between the knee and
ankle swelling of the limb en
sued, and I could not walk or put
my foot on the ground. The pain
ran me almost distracted. I tested
the medical profession thoroughly
having tried all the systems. Some
of them brought me temporary re-,
lief. I paid nut hundreds of dol
lars but found no permanent bene
fit. The whole poison seemed to
concentrate in an ulcer near my
ankle, some three inches in length
and the remedies used, being large
ly mineral, did not seem to reach
the source of the disease at all.-
For three years I was unable to do
anything. The ulcer had already
eaten down to the bone. Two of
the physicians recommended ampib
tation of the limb as the only means
of preserving life. I was almost
in despair when a friend suggested
to me to try Swift's Specific. I
hesitated, but finally secured six
bottles. The effect of the first bot
tle was to stop the eating process,
and the six bottles made a perma
nent cure of a disease that had
baffled the best medical skill in the
country. My case is well known
in Greenville—the desperate char
acter of the deseftse as well as the
wonderful cure effected.* There
I aie no signs of a return of the dis
ease. lam in better health to-day
than I was before I was taken with
the disease. I weigh forty pounds
more than I ever weighed hefoie
in my life. Swift’s Specific has
proved life and health both to me,
and I never can be grateful enough
. ’ for the benefit which I received
j from its use.
