THS FRENCH WOMAN. Max O’Reil Draws a Charming and True Picture of His Countrywomen. From the Philadelphia Press. In the French household the woman is /jueen. Her empire over her children is perfect, and she leads her husband by the nose. He does not complain of this; on the contrary, he enjoys it, and he thinks that, after all, much worse might happen to him. The wife knows all her husband’s affairs, and when he has a few savings to invest he does not think it beneath him to ask her ad vice. She knows, as well as he, the current price of stocks at tho Bourse, and if he should be seized with a pruriency to embark in speculation she brings to bear all her in fluence over him to induce him to buy con sols or any other government securities. Call ou her husband on business and if he is from home you will not need to make a sec ond visit on that account. She has all the affaire of the firm at her Augers’ end. Every housekeeper keeps a memorandum book in which she writes down all her ex penses. The French woman has a genius for cook ery and is thoroughly awake to the fact that it is good policy in marriod life to see that her husband dines well. The politics of matrimony is a science inborn in our women. Let a Frenchwomen be rich or poor —the mistress of a mansion in the Champs Elysees, or of a poor fifth-floor little flat at Montmartre or Batignolles—she lias always the charm of feminality. She is always smart, always alert, and has a little flutter ing, bustling way with her that is bound to keep awake your interest in ail she does. She may be sometimes a little affected, but she is never vulgar. On Sundays and holi days she dresses still a little more elegantly than usual, but she never appears to be in Sunday clothes. The middle class French woman is lady-like, not only in her dress, but in her speech. You will never see her loaded with cheap jewelry, this great stamp of vulgarity, and when she speaks to you, you can not guess whether she is the’ wife of a gentleman or of a small trades man. I have often heard French women called frivolous. But this is the height of absur dity. If frivolity consists in’ trying to re main young and attractive as long as possi ble then the French bourgeois is frivolous. If, again, frivolity consists in making a home cheerful and gay, and preventing & husband from being absorlied by the cares of business, then she is frivolous. If this woman were frivolous how could you ex plain the adoration for the mother which, even to the lowest of tho low, you find in French children? How could this be unless she were the example of all domestic vir tues? If a Frenchman of 40 would h-'sitate to take an important step in life without first consulting his mother surely it must be that lie recognizes in her a wise guide. It would Vie no mere naivetee on mv part to dwell longer on the absurd charge of frivol ity. Take now the shopkeeping classes. There you will see the wife, the active part ner of her husband. Behold them both as the commercial traveler displays his goods on the counter. She is not a mere house keeper, with or without wages; she is a ptirt ner, not merely a sleeping partner. This not only enables her, if she happens to be come a widow, to carry on the business without her husband, to be independent and to bring up her children. She has not, to obtain her living on her husband’s death, to become a working housekeeper or a nurse; she is the mistress of her own house as before, and now the head of tho firm. You can not obtain a perfect notion of French industry unless you pay a visit to our peasantry. I must say that now the woman ceases to be attractive. She does not even attempt to look so. Sunburnt, hale and hearty, behold her, dear English tourist, that is the fortune of France. She does not wear fringes on her forehead, I will admit, she does not wear flounces on a second-hand shirt, or a hat with flowers and feathers, and she totally ignores one franc diamonds. She has a coarse serge gown on and simple snowy cap. She is clean and tidy and the personification of industry. I do not doubt, however, that, thanks to the blessings of gratuitous and compulsory edu cation, the time will soon come when she will want to imitate the ladies of the town in her habits and dress, and that her sons will despise the dear land where they were born and will all want to be clerks and swagger in town with high stand-up col lars, tight trousers and sticks. Thank good ness, this spectacle is not yet to be seen in France. This good, hard-working, thrifty woman is the backbone of the country. The amount of work she can get through is simply pro digious. You will always see her busy, either working in her field, selling the pro duce of her little farm in the market-place of the nearest town or engaged about her little household. She is not attractive, but she is a picture of health and contentment. Shares or bonds may go up or down without dis turbing her peace; she holds none. She trusts her savings to nobody. Bankers, she thinks, company directors and stock brokers may lx* very respectable persons, but when the old stocking is swollen with sf. pieces she rounds off her little family do main and buys anew field, something she is quite sure to find in its place when she wakes up in the morning. Let me give you an example of her fru gality, ana allow me to take it from a per sonal recollection. My mother has a house maid who has been with her twenty-five years. Not long ago, while in France, I took aside this old servant. “I know how devoted you have been to my mother,” I' said to her. “ You are not strong, and I dare say you will not wish to go into ser vice agaiii; hut make yourself easy about this. If anything should happen to my mother, I shall see that you are comfortable for the rest of your life. But,” I said in quiringly, “I have no doubt you have some thing of your own by this time?” Imagine my surprise when I hoard her toll me she had saved over 10,000f. (between $2,000 and 82,500) all well invested, including one share in the Suez Canal Company. In society a French lady plays her part with the same excellence that sho shows jn other stations of life. It is true that here and there you will come across a French woman, bitten with new-fangled notions, discoursing of politics, the moral and intel lectual progress of tho people, social eman cipation and other tedious topics; but such black sheep are raro; the great majority are content to play their natural part, to hie tho ornaments of society, to bring to social in tercourse the tact, grace and harmony which form its chief redeeming points, and without which life would become, if not in supportable, very near akin to that of tho savages. Max O’Eell. A PULLMAN CAR EPISODE. Mr. William Nye Recalls Senator Le lancl Stanford’s Part In It. From the New York World, Some years ago a big, fat and pompous tnan strolled into a sleeping car on board a Union Pacific train with tho air of a man who owned things. After he had looked at everybody till ho hod gratified liis curiosity, he settled down in a sent and began to watch from the window the swiftly changing landscape. The sleeping-car conductor put his hand on the shoulder of the large, glob ular man and asktsl him if he had a Pull man ticket. Tho wide man spread his legs a little wider, so as to take up a little more tponi, breathed in about 2,700 cubic feet of ciebrsska oxoue anil said be did not have to have a ticket. “You have to show a ticket here in this car or go into the car whore you belong,” said the urbane conductor who as sists Sir fieorgo Pullman in giving his be loveil sleep. “We are not carrying people thw summer just to cultivate a friendly i. h? lietween man and man.” ‘Do you know,” said the large man us he thiviv back his coat so as to show a two pound diamond, “that I can have you out of a job in throe minutes and hang your pelt on , the fence ns soon os wo get to Omaha f "No, I didn’t know that, of course; but I know that if you don’t show mu your au thority for riding in-thu c*r I will call the porter and we will use you to lubricate the young and growing State of Nebraska. You may be an eminent man, but you have a way of concealing it that would baffle any conductor in the United States.’’ “You will fmd out who I am when wo get to Omaha,” said the large purple man, looking at his seven-pound watch, and snapping it so that a nervous woman nearly jumped out of the ear. “You will then know who I am, but it will be too late.” “True, true,” said the conductor, musing ly. “It will then bo indeed too late, for nobody who comes to search for you will know who you are, and you will be a very shocking sight.” “Young man, when you are my age I hope you will know more.” “Yes, sir. I also hope I will know more, and I wish that you had been blessed by knowing more.” "Sir, my name is a household word from New York to San Francisco. If you had ever traveled much you would not have to ask for my ticket. You ought to be able to recognize a man who has been in public life as long as I have.” “Possibly so,” said the conductor, taking off his coat and calling the porter, “but somehow you do not remind me of any great man I ever saw. You look more to me like a man who has struck a popular chord in leaf lard or quelled tho national cry for an earnest and tenacious style of glue. As I said before, the rules of this company require that you shall produce currency, trass or ticket or get off and walk. Will you snow us your credentials or earn the everlasting enmity of the road by fall ing off the platform or mussing up the right of way?” Tho large man’s breath came quick and his brow grew black, as he ground his teeth and went out of the car. I supposed ho had gone out to plunge off the platform as we sped swiftly down the grade. I went back to see him do it, for I had never seen a man distribute himself over a monotonous sweep of country that way; hut, much to my sur prise, he went into a large, yellow special car that was attached to the tnqn, and we afterward learned that he was Leland Stan ford, who has since that filled to overflow ing a seat in the United States Seuate. The conductor continued to hold his posi tion for vears after, though several times he made this same sad error of not recognizing some of our most eminent men in politics, art atld letters. Twice he missed it on me. But I did npt report him. for he ought to maintain disci pline, I claim, and liesidos, I had shaved off my moustache since we last met. We ought not to ask too much of a con ductor. Our great men are constantly changing their appearance by putting on different hats or getting their hair cut, and a conductor is almost forced to demand a ticket or some other guarantee of good fait!sroin every one who travels with him. Gov. Stanford i? a very large man physi cally, and this gives his brain a wonderful amount of sea-room and a good chance to stretch itself. He enjoys being in the Sen ate very much, for it gives him an oppor tunity to meet other wealthy men and helps him to forget about the low, common peo ple who elected him. He is sorry now that he did not go to the Senate years ago. It is the best place to go to recover from brain fag that he knows of, and he says that his fag hasn’t looked so well for years. Bill Nye. LAW AND JUSTICE IN ARIZONA. Holding a Lawyer tor Contempt of Court for Making an Appeal FYom the San Francisco Chronicle. He is an old resident of California and has seen some very queer times and many changes. He got to talking the other night of a trip he made to Arizona some years ago, juft about the time of tho Tombstone boom. It was quite extraordinary, he said. The country was full of desperadoes and bad gamblers, and they were very dangerous, too. They ruled Tombstone at that time. A friend of mine was in Tombstone, and one day he saw a man walking quietly along who was a noted desperado and mur derer—a man for whose head a big reward was offered. He knew the chief of police, and he went and told him about it. Inside of the day he got a notice that they gave him one hour to quit Tombstone, and he quitted. Now, at Tucson there was law and order, and those same desperadoes who went about shooting in Tombstone would go down to Tucson and behave like the most guileless of citizens. This was mainly on account of an old judge they had there, a German, who feared none of them and had his own emphatic way of serving out the law. They knew if they got into a scrape in Tucson they were in for it, and they’d get no mercy. He had per haps rude ways of carrying out tho law, this old judge, but they were very effective. One day a notorious character was brought up for something. They had the whipping post there then. The old judge looked at him. “I think I see you before—no!” The culprit admitted that he had been there on several occasions. “Wal, I just sentence you to forty lashes. You take twenty of them to-morrow and then you was released on your own recogni zance, and you come back in a week and take tho other twenty.” The fellow had his twenty lashes, and he hasn’t been seen in Tucson since. Another little example of the JudgeV. wav of doing business was the ease of a man brought up before him for firing off a pistol in the street. They took $340 from him when he was arrested. “I joost fine you $200,” said the Judge. “Why,” said the prisoner, “in San Fran cisco they would only flue me $5 or $lO. “You vas in Tucson, mein friend; $200.” Tho man was complaining bitterly after he paid the fine. “Don’t kick!” said adother. “Yon were lucky. If he’d known you had $340 on you he’d have fined yon all of it.” gome fellow who was being tried moved for a change of venue. “You vant a change of venue? What for?” asked tho judge. “Because this court is prejudiced against me, and I wont get a fair trial.” “You say this court is prejudiced against you, and you won’t get a fair trial? You vant n change of venue, mein friend? I joost fine you S3OO for contempt of court to begin with. Now, we’ll proceed with the trial.” AN ATROCIOUS CRIME. A Mother Murders Her Son, Who Had Just Returned From America. Puria Cable to New York World. There is, something peculiarly shocking in the circumstances attendant on a murder which has just been committal at Orantova, in Bi>ain. Years ago, it appears, a young man who was a native of that town, emi grated to America in the bojie of making a fortune. Having to some extent succeeded in his object, he returned recently to his old home, where his aged parents still resided. Remembering their age and infirmities, he was airaid to reveal lus identity to them too abruptly, for they had had no tidings of their absent son 'for a long time past, aud possibly thought that he was no longer living. Ho went, therefore, to the old homestead of his youth without saying who he was. He saw his aged father arid mother, who did not recognize him, and after asking their hospitality as a’ stranger he eonfldrto his mother his pmse, con taining ft large sum of money and other property. The sight Of the tmaaure excited the ouplditv of the woman ftiid inriurod tier to plan ft most abominable crime— namely, the murder of the traveler whom she lodged beneath her roof. She sought to prevail upon her husband, to bwxwie her ac complice, and. failing in this, determined to murder her guest single handed. She ac complished her fell design by means of a hatchet, with•'liich she almost severed her victim’s head from hi* body. After she was urinated she learned that she killed her own child. Hhe displayed neither regret nor re morse, merely otiaorving that he ought to have revealed hi* identity. THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, AUGUST 20, 1887. HE WAS VERY CALM. The Dakota Man Who Was Not Frightened at a Cyclone. From the Dakota Bell. A well-known resident of Sioux Falls was out driving in the country one day last week. While coming back and when about four miles from the city, a heavy wind canto up. To the well-known resident it looked cvclonish, and he drove up to the first house. He went in and found three or four Indies, who were alone in the house and somewhat frightened. “There is no danger, ladies, no danger, I assure you. Simply a straight wind —no cyclone. Keep cool. By the way—er —is there a cellar under the house?” $ “Yes, sir.” “Urn!—that is good. No danger, though, as I said. Pray keep calm and it will be over directly. Where—where did you say the cellar door was ?” “Over there in the corner.” “Ah, yes; thanks, this one. Yes, I’ll open it —might as well lie open as shut, you know. There will be no need of going down, how ever. Simply a little thunder shower ac companied by wind.” "We’re not very much frightened.” “Of course not—that’s right—neither am I.” Just then the house began to shake and the limb of a tree scratched against the window. “Don’t be at all alarmod, ladies; you keep right still. Good celiar, I sup pose ?” he added, peering down. “Yes.” Here a board blew off the fence and slapped against the side of the house. “I’m going down a moment, ladies; don’t lie frightened; the house is safe,” and he shot down the stairs, slipped off" a broken step toward the bottom and landed in a box of eggs. “Stay right where you are, ladies,” lie snouted from the cellar; “it is about all over now.” Just then the wind blew open the outside cellar door, and an empty barrel rolled down. “Great—oh, nothing, nothing at all!” howled the man as he leaped over to the other side of the cellar; “try and be calm, 1 allies. This wind will purify the atmos phere. You aren't scared much, I hope?” “Oh, no; not much.” “That's right; keep up your courage— ladies are usually so easily frightened. Say,” as he tried to dig the sand, which was blowing in, out of his eyes, and stepped in a crock of butter—“say, would one of yon mind going around and shutting that out side door?” * “We will when it stops blowing a little.” Then an empty box tipped over and rolled down the stairway, the wind roe red louder than ever, and tliere was a sharp clap of thunder. “Be calm, ladies; try and bo calm for your own sakesl Oh, great heavens, it’s going, it’s going!” he groaned as he crouched in one corner in a box of glass fruit jars and thought he saw one corner of the house raise a little. “Oh, good Lord, I’m lost — it’s going sure! Keep cool, ladies, there is no danger! For heaven’s sake, see that cor ner flop up! Be calm, ladies; simply a little flurry of tho wind! Oh, I’d give a thousand dollars to be out of this!” and he dug his feet into the box and broke two jars of strawberries. “Try and bear up, ladies! It wfil soon be over! Oh, if I ever get out alive I’ll leave this blasted country! Good gracious! ladies, when are you going to shut the door? Be calm! but shut that door!” “Moliie has gone out to shut it now—the wind is all over,” replied one of the lailios. “Yes, it’s all over, I know,” replied the man, cautiously coming to the foot of the stairs; “I told youit soon would be. You see there was no reason for becoming so alarmed. But you ladies will, you always will,” he added as he came on up and peered out tho corner of a window. “I don’t doubt that you would have been still more scared if I had not happened along and made you understand there was really no danger. ’’ Then he went out and started for town. But just before he got there the man who lived at the house, having arrived home meantime, overtook him riding a big white horse, and made him pay $2 for the butter he hail spoiled, aud $1 50 for the fruit and 75c. for the eggs, and took a $5 bill and said he didn’t have any change and rode off with it. The Fatal 13 Again. From the New York World. Thirteen compositors from the World office went to Pier 1 North river before day light Sunday morning to go on a fishing excursion on the sloop yacht Startle. Ed ward J. McCrea, of Eighth street, South Brooklyn, was one of the vessel’s crew. As he stood on tho stringpiece casting off the bow line the sloop lurched and McCrea fell into the river. The nien on board heal'd him cry once, but before they could grope their way'arounil in the darkness he went down. The next day his dead body was found with a wound in the forehead. He probably struck the float as he fell and was knocked senseless. A few hours before the sloop came up from Bay Ridge to get the thirteen compos! - tors McCrea, with others, went into Seeley’s restaurant, there to get some chowder. They found thirteen plates set. After the vessel was made fast to pier 1 McCrea spoke to another member of tho crew about the coincidence in the thirteen chowder plates and thirteen in the expected party. A suggestion was made that a tramp be in vited to make the fourteenth excursionist. McCrea laughed and said that only foolish people were superstitious. An hour later he was dead. Another singular coincidence is that Com positor Webb, the thirteenth man in the party, also fell overboard, but was picked up and put to bed. BABY’S SCALP.
