iot he distributes light, light for the earth
and light for the heavens, light for the
land and light for the sea,
great bars of it, great wreaths
of it, great columns of it, a world full of it.
Hail him in worship as every morning he
drives out in his chariot of morning cloud,
and cry with David: “Mr voice shall
thou bear in the morning, in the morning
will 1 direct rm- prayer uuto thee and look
up" I rejoice in these scripture ejacula
tions: “Jov cometh in tho morning," “My
•o'.tl waiteth for thee mots than they that
watch for the morning." If T take the wings
of the mcrr.ing;” “the eyelids of
the morning;" “the morning oometh
“Who is she that looketb forth as the morn
ing’" “His going forth is prepared as the
morning;” “A- the morning spread on the
mountains;” “That thou shouldst visit
him every morning." What a mighty
thing the king throws from his chariot
when he throws us the morning!
Yea; he has his evening cloud chariot. It
is made out of the saffron, and the gold, and
the purple, and the orauge, and the ver
milion, and upshot flame of the sunset.
That is the place where the splendors that
have marched through the day, having
ended the procession, throw down their
torches and set the heavens on fire. That
is the only hour of the day when the atrno
pbore is clear enough to let us see the wall
of the heavenly city, with its twelve manner
of precious stones, from foundation of
jasper to middle strata • f sardius and in up
to the coping of amethyst. At that hour
without any of Hlislia's supernatural vision
we se? horses of fire and cnar ots of fire and
banners of tire and ships of fire and cities
if fir , seas of fire, and it seems as if the
last conflagration l ad begun ami t. ere i> a
worl i on fire. When God makes the-e
clouds his chariot let us all kneel. Another
day past, what have wo done with i ?
Anotner day dead and I his is its gorgeous
catafalque. Noiv is the time for what
David called the “evening sacrifice,’’ or
Daniel called the “eve ing obi .torn.” Oh!
oh! what a chariot ma io rut of evening
cloud! Have you hung over the taffrail on
t! e ocean and seen this cloudy
vehicle roll over the pavements of a calm
summer sea, the wheels dripping with (he
magnificence? Have you from tho t pof
Ben Lomond, or the Cordilleras, or ti e
Berkshire hills seen the day pillowed for
the night, and yet had no aspiration of
praise and homage? Oh, what a rich God
we have that he can put on one evening
sky pictures that excel Michael’s Angelo's
“Last Judgment” ad Ghirlandjo’s “Adora
tion of the Magi,” and whole galleries of
Madonnas, and for only an hour, and then
throw them away, ind the next evening
put on the same skv something that excels
all that the Raphaels and the Titans and
the Rembrandts and the Corregios and the
Leonardo da Vincis ever executed, and
then draw a curtain of mist over the n
never again to be exhibited! How rich God
must be to have a uew chariot of clouds
every evening!
But the Bible tolls us that our king also
has a black chariot. “Clouds and darkness,”
we are told, “are round about him.” That
chariot is cloven out of night, and that
night is trouble. When he rides forth in
that black chariot, pestilence, and earth
quake, and famine, and hurricane, and woe
a:te and him. Then let the earth tremble.
Then let nations pray. Again and asain
he has ridden forth in that chariot of black
clouds, a ross England, and France, and
Italy, and Russia, and America, and over
all nations. That which men took for the
sound of cannonading at Sebastopol, at
Sedan, at Gettysburg, at Tei-d-Kebir, at
Bunker Hill, were only the rumblings of
the black chariot of the Almighty. Aye, It
is the chariot of storm-cloud armed with
thunderb fits, and neither man, nor angel,
nor devil, rior earth, nor hell, nor heaven,
can resist him. On those boulevards of
blue this chariot never turns out for any
thing. Aye, no one else drives there. Un
der one wheel of that chariot Babylon was
crushed and Baalbeck fell dead and the
Roman empire was prostrated and Atlantis,
a whole continent that once connected
Europe with America, sank clear out of
sight so that the longest anchor of ocean
steamer cannot touch the top of its highest
mountains. The throneoftheCaesars wnsless
than a pebble under the rirht wheel of this
nharit.and the Austria i despotism less than
a snowflake under the left wheel. And ov r
destroyed worlds on worlds that chariot has
rolled without a jar or jolt.
Tnis bit iv. chariot of war c!oud roll and up
to the nortuwest of Europe in 1812 and four
hundred thousand men marched to take
Moscow, but that chariot of clouds rolled
back, and onlv twenty-five thousa and out of
the four hundred thousand troops lived to
return. No great snowstorm like that had
ever before, or has ever since, visited Rus
sia. Aye. the chariot of the Lord is irre
sistible. There is only one thing that can
halt or turn any of his chariots, aud that is
prayer. Again and again it has stopp, and it,
w heeled it around, and the chariot of black
clouds under that sanctified human breath
has blossomed into such brightness and color
that men and a gels had to veil their
faces from its brightness. Mark you, the
ancient chariot which David uses as a sym
bol in my text had only two wheels, "and
that was that they might turn quickly, two
wheels tak ng less than half the time to
turn that four wheels would have taken.
And our Lord’s chariot has only two wheels,
and that means instant reversal, and in
stant help, and instant deliverance. While
the combined forces of the universe in bat
tle array could not stop his black chariot a
second or diverge it an inch, the driver of
that chariot sav-: “Call upon me m the dev
of trouble and 1 will deliver thee.” “While
they are vet speaking I will hear." Two
wheeled cuariol, one wheel justice and the
other wheel mercy. Aye, they are swift
wheels. A cloud, whether it belongs to the
cirrhus, the clouds that float the
hig- est; or belongs to the stratus, the
central ranges: or to the cumulus, the low
est ranges, seems to move slowly along the
sky if it moves at all. But many of the
clouds go at a sped that would seem
lethargic; a vestibule limited lightning ex
press train, so swift is the chariot of our
God; yea, swifter than the storm, swifter
than the light. Yet a child ten years old
has been known to reach up, and with the
hand of prayer take the courser of that
chariot by the bit and slow it up, or -top it,
or turn it aside, or turn it back. The bov
Kamuel stopped it. Elijah stopped it.
Hezekiab r. Daniel stopped it.
Joshua stopped it. Esther stop|ied it. Ruth
sopped it. Hannah stopped it. Mary
stopped it. My father stopped it. My
mother stopped it. My sister stopped it.
Wo have incur Sabbath schools children
who a ;ain aud again aud again hare
stopped it.
.Notice that these old-time ebario's, which
my text uses lor symbol, nad wUat we
would call a high dash-board at the front,
but were opes behind. And the king would
stnnd at the dash-board and drive With his
■wn bends. Aijd lam glad t at he, whose
chariot the clouds are, drives U mself. Ho
does not let natural law drive, for natural
law is deaf. He does not let fate drive, for
fate is merciless. But our Father king
drives himself, and he nuts his loving hand
on the reins of the flying coursers, and he
hjs a loving oar open to the crv of all who
want b> catch his attention. Oh. lam so
glad that my Father drives, and never
drives too fast, and never drives too slow,
and never drives off the precipice, and that
he controls by a bit that never breaks, tb
wildest and most raging circumstances. 1
beard of a ship captain who put out with
his vessel with a largo number of
passengers from Buffalo on Lake En,
very early in Ihe season, and while there
■was much ice. When they were well out
the captain saw to his horror that ihe ico
was closing in on him from all sid-s, and
be saw no way out from destruction and
death. He called into the cabin all tin- pi*-
sengers a,d all the crew i hat could Lc

the ship must be lost unless Oud interjs srsl,

so that when Leyden was besieged, and the
Duke of Alva felt sure of his triumph, sud
denly the wind turned, and the sw- Ilea
waters compelled him to stop tbe -iege, aud
the citv was saved. God that night drove
along the roast of the Netherlands in a
black chariot of storm-cloud. It did not
merely happen so that Luther rose from
the place wh ire he was sitting just in time
to keep f oiii being crushed by a tone that
the instant afterjfell on the very spot. Had tie
not escaped where would have bean the
reformation? It did not merely happen so
that Columbus was saved from drowning
by an car that was floating on the waters.
Otherwise, who would have unveiled Amer
ica? It did n>t merely happen so that
when George Washington was in Brooklyn
a great fog settled down over all the place
where this church stands, and over
all tills end of Long Island,
aud that under tat fog ho and
his army escaped from the clutches of
Gens. Howe and Clinton. In a chariot of
mist aud cloud the God of American in
dependence rode along here. On that pillow
of consolation i put and wn mv head to sleep
at night. On that solid foundation i build
when 1 see this nat ion in political paroxysm
every four years, not because they care two
cents about, whether it is high tai iff, or low’
tariff, or no tariff at all, but only whether
the democrats or the republicans shall have
the sa aried oflic -s. Yea, when European
nations are holdin ' tlieir breath, wonder
ing whether Russia or Germany w ill launch
a war that will incarnadine a continent, I
fall tack on the faith that my Father drives.
Yea, I cast this a- an anchor, and plant this
as a column of strength, aid lift this
as a telescope, and build this as
a fortress, and ] ropose without any
perturbation to lau CU upon an u iknown
future, triumphant in the fact t at my
Father drives. Yes, he drives verv near.
I know that many of the clouds that you
see in summer are afar off, t e bases of
so e of them five miles above the earth.
High on the highest peaks of the / nde*
travelers have seen clou Is far higher than
where they were standing. Giro Lu-sac,
after he had risen in a balloon 23,000 feet,
still saw clouds above him.
But there are clouds th- 11 Mich th" ear h
and discharge their rain, anil though the
clouds out of which (too - iia iot is mad
inav sometimes be far aw a.. •>! to i they are
close by, and they touc i ou shoulders, and
they touch our homes, and they touch us all
over. I have read of two rides that the
Lord took in two different chariots r-f
clouds and of another that lie will
take. One day in a chariot of clouds,
that were a mingling of fog and
smoke and fire, God drove down to the top
of a terrible crag 1,500 feet high, now called
Jebel-Muaa, then called Mount Sinai, and
be stepped out of his chariot among the
split shelving* of rock. The mountain
shook as with an ague, and there were
ten volleys of thunder, each of the tui em
phasizing a tremendous “Thou shalt,” or
“Thou shalt not.” Then the Lord resumed
his chariot of cloud and drove up the hills
of heaven.,. They were dark aud portentous
clouds that made that chariot at the giving
of the law. But one day ho took another
ride, and this time down to Mount Tabor,
the clouds out of which his chariot was
made bright clouds v roseate clouds, illum
ined clouds, and music rained from all of
them, and the mu.-ic was a mingling of
carol and chant and triumphal march:
“This is my beloved sou. in whom 1 am
well pleased.” Transfiguration chariot!
“Oh ” say hundreds of you, “I wish 1
could have seen those chariots—the black
one that brought the Lord to Jebcl-Musa at
the giving of the law, and the white one
tnat brought him down to Tabor.” Never
mind, you will see something grander than
that, and it will be a mig itier mingling of
the sombre and the radiant, and the pomp
of it will be such that the chariots in which
Trajan and Diocletian, and Xenobia, and
Cepsar, and Alexander, and all the con
querors of all the ages rode will be un
worthv of mention; and what stirs me the
most is that when he comes in that ch iriot
of cloud a id g >es back, ho will ask vou and
me to ride with him both ways. How do I
know that, the judgment chariot will be
made out of clouds? Revelation i, TANARUS: “Be
hold he conicth with clouds." Oh, he will
not then ride through the heavens alone as
he does now. He is going to bring
along with him escort of ten full regiments.
Inspiration says; “Behold t • Lord
oometh with ten thousand of his saints.”
But these figures simply mean that there
will he a great throng. And as we shall
probably through the atonement of Christ
le in heaven before that, I hope that we
can come down in that escort of chariot.
Christ in tne center chariot, but chariots
lief ore him to clear the way, a id chariots
behind him, and chariots on either side of
him. Perhaps the prophets and patriarchs
of the old dispensation may ride ahead each
one charioted—Abraham and Moses and
Ezekiel and David and Joshua, who fore
told his first coming. Ou either side of the
central chariot apostles and martyrs who
iu the same or approximate centuries suf
fered for him —Paul, Stophen and Ignatius
and Polycarp aud Justin Martyr and multi
tudes wno went up in chariot of firo now
coming in chariot of cloud, while in the
roar of the central chariot shall be the
multitudes of later days and of our
own time who have tried to serve the Lord,
ourselves I hope among them. “Behold
the Lord cometn with ten thousand of his
saints.” Yes; although all unworthy of
such companionship, we want to come with
him on that day to see the last of this old
world which was once our residence. Com
ing through the skies myriads of chariots
rolling ou and rolling down. By that time
how changed this world will be. Its
de erts all flowers, its rocks all mossed aud
Kchened, its poor houses all palaces, its sor
rows all joys, its sins all virtues, aid in the
same pisturo field lion and calf, and on the
same perch hawk aud dove. Now the
chariots of cloud strike the earth, filling all
the valleys, and covering all the mountain
sides, and halting in all the ceinetries and
graveyards aud over the u aters deep where
the dead sleep in coral sarcophagus. A
loud blast <>f the resurrection trumpet
is given and th* bodies of the dead
rise and j m he spirits from which they
have long been separated. Then Christ our
King, rising in the center chariot of cloud,
with his scarred hands waves the signal,
and the chariots wheel and coine into line
for glorious ascent. Drive ou! Dr.veup!
Chariots of cloud ahead of the King, char
iots of cloud ou either sido of the King,
chariots of clouds following the King. Up
ward and apast starry hosts, and through
immensities, and across infinitudes, higher,
higher, higher, uuio the gates, the shining
gates. Lift up your heads, ye everlasting
gates, for him who maketh the clouds hi-,
chariot, and who through condescendo g
and uplifting grace invites us to mount and
ride with him.

London, Sop: , lft —Sitting in the office of
a “city” man in the Strand one morning
now a week ago two waste paper baskets
heaped with envelopes were brought from a
recess and placed at my feet.
“Look at them!” said the office’s proprie
tor, w heeling about at his desk.
“I advertised three lines’ worth, for a
copying clerk to tidy up my papers,
young woman from 18 to 25, proierru!.
These are the answers I got. Look at
them!
“Here are the autographs of ISI British
girls. Goo 1 fists they write, every one of
them, too. Over 300 say thev can corres

claim lo be able to liandlo letters in Gnrma i.
There are a lot of Italian sch Jars mr.o g
them. .Most of them profe sto keep book
by single or and uible entry, and th re’s a
young army of expert typewriters and
shorthand writers. Two dozen are used
preparing manuscript for publication, aud
there are fifty who can correct proofs.
“And what wages do you suppose this
women expect from nv ? Half of the
name sums running from 7 shillings to 1:
shillings a week. The others range betwee
15 shillings and a pound. There are on .
half a dozen or so who are bol l enough t<
value t.ieir services at 30 shillings or up
ward. There are horde- of women lookin
for work aud ready to work for any moot
nowadays.”
Tiie s vrofary of the Society fr Promo'
ing the Employment ol Women, up"
whom I called recently, tells mu t at of t ,
upper middie-clas in 'Euelai and, or rather •
the educated middle-class, it is estimah
that one woman in every two is unmarried
he lust census put in black and white
fact that in England and Wales 87 per cen.
of the women of marriageable age were
single and 11 per cent, were widows, mak
mg 48 per cent, without the support of hu
bands. In Scotland 55 per cent, of tne
women of marriageable age were singio or
widows, and in Ireland 59 per cant. Within
the last ten years th'e overplus of womeu.
owing to emigration and other causes luc
increased rapidly. The number of me.
remaining single has also increased, an.-
people whose familiarity with the subjoc
cannot be doubted, tell me that the ce i.ni
liguies of 1891 will show nearly 8,1)50,00 )
more women tlian men in the British Isles
and. a percentage of marriages considera
bly below that given. More than 00 pj.
cent, of adult Englishwomen, married a.id
unmarried, are working for daily subsis
tence and their number multiply everv
vear. Every avenue of employment open
to women is choked, and there are literally
multitudes of destitute women, “not of the
working class,'’ some of them competent,
others anxious to do anything but able to
do nothing well, looking eagerly aboutthem
for chances to make shillings or pence,
without lifting their eyes to pounds.
“What is the best opening for a girl ot
fair education dependent o i her own exer
tions in Londonis a qu nation which I have
put in every quarter fro n which a l intelli
gent answer might be expected.
“To teach under the London School
Board,” lias been the invariable reply.
The average wages of school teachers, a
stated in a previous letter, are $4OO per
year.
Typewriting and stenography which em
ploy such numbers of y uing women in New
York, are onlv beginning to be recognized
as affording openings for women here. The
first school for teaching typewriting to girls
was opened four years ago. It in still th
largest office employing women of which I
have been able to hear, and it graduted
nineteen pupils this past twelvemonth,
each pupil studying six months. There are
a few girls employed as typewriters in Liv
erpool and others make a fairly good thing
out of copying manuscript for members o.
the Oxford and Cambridge universities.
Business men are beginning to emp’oy girl
typewriters, or typists, as the English
phrase is, but all told there are not as many
dozens who can count on regular work in
England as hundreds in America. Good
tyiiewriters, that is, women typewriters,
earn from $4 to $9 a week here. I have
heard tales of $lO, but have not been able
to come upon any woman earning sue i a
fabulous salary. It is paid, I think, only to
very rapid typists who are also shorthan 1
writers aud wtio have a knowledge of Con
tinental languages in addition to Englis i.
What is true of typewriting is even true
of shorthand. It is spoken of as an em
ployment well suited to women, but is dure
almost altogether by men. Many women
loarnit, but, comparatively few are in pay
ing practice.
Tiie telephone girl in London as in New
York is un institution. The United Tele
phone Company employs hundreds of wo
men, and the eagerness with which appoint
ments are sought, the lo ig flies of names on
ths books in the main office, registered in
hope of a vacancy, lift the veil, when one
considers that the salararies begin at $2 75
per week and seldom rise above $4, from an
am mit of suffering hard to realize. With
all tue eager.mss of pay and slowness of
promotion applications are considered only
from daughtersof “gentlemen,” young per
sons whoso parents belong to trade being
barret! out.
English (list 1 notions as to grades of gen
tility in employment are hard to under
stand. T.ie telephone girl ranks above tha
telegraph op 'rat or who usually learns more
but whoso place is not hedged about by
caste provisos. Great numbers of women
are employed ns telegraph operators at the
general postoffico, London, in Dublin, in
Edinburgh, in Manchester, Birmingham
and a few other large towns.
Telegraph being a branch of the civil ser
vice is entered by competitive examina
tions. The scale of pay is #2 50 to begin
with, rising to $3 50 when able to take re
sponsible charge of an instrument aud by
annual increments to sti 75 per week, a
maximum to be reached with diligence in
seven or eight years. First-class women
telegraphers, that is women who can take
heavy wires on long lines, earn $7 a week
rising by annual increments to $8 50.
There are not many women fortuna'e
e lough to roach this figure, though there
are half a dozen who rise above it, and ns
matrons ami supervisios of telegraphers
earn from $5OO to $l,OOO a year. T ere are
about, 3,(XX) w omen telegraphers under the
civil service rules.
The women clerks in the general post
office, like the telegraph girls, belong to
gentle folk. Not that the service is formally
limited to those of specified b rth. On the
contrary, the competitions is as opon as for
telegraph appointments, but either becau e
the places woro originally reserved exclu
sively for gentlemen or for some odier oc
culi reason, it is commonly taken for granted
that much of t e clerical work in tfic suv
ings bank department of the post office f.
done by Indies, while the telegrap uc work
is performed by girls of a lower class. Girls
wh ) go in'for the civil service examinations
for postoffice places are requ red to be
healthy, unmarried and between 18 ami 30.
They are examined rigidly ip arithmetic,
more or less as to spelllug and handwriting,
and somewhat in geography and English
history. They work six hours a day and
they earn $325 a year, tb salary beiug in
creased $l5 a year for faithful services until
it reaches S4IX), at which point It may rest
until a woman ie gray-beaded, many re
maining in the work for life. Outside of
Sunday the maximum salary is $350, though
it is fair to say that prom,mens to higher
branches of the service are pontble and
that oue or two women in the London gen
eral p,>etoffice earn as rnuob as $1,300 a year.
The number of women p stotlice clerks is
about HOO, the greater number being em
ployed in London.
I obtained permission to go through the
rooms in which competitive examinations
for poitoflice vacancies we e being held
three or four we*Us ago. The time and
place of holding the examinations h id bc*n
advertised in the daily napersan I would-be
telegraphers, cler.s and sorters —to s ait a
lower grade of service—vere pro mptly ou
hand. There were not many plie sto fill,
less than fifty all told, but the candidates
reached nearly fV4O. Oneof tbeclvil service
examiners told me that there had been oc
casions when more than 2,000 women ap
plied for 100 vacancies. Near 50) of the
girls were applicants for sorterv places,
sorters receiving 12 shillings a week wages
n and rising bv p-omo ion in time to 24 shill
ings.
Typesetting is a ' etter trade for a woman
proportionately in Englnpd than in Ameri
ca. That is, it pays her better relatively to
wages in other trades. A woman with
nimble fingers makes fro m £1 to 25 shillings
i week, but before she comes into receipt of
any such income she must serve an appren
ticeship lasting from three to four years.
Printing houses require a premium, some
times large, som times small, before tney
take a girl anpreuteaee, who earns no
wages for the first, six months and very lit
tle until thp expiration of her time. The
length of the anpr uticeship tells verv heav
ily against families with little money but
with sense enough to wish to bring up their
daughters to a trad i.
There is no business in which an English
girl can engage the leturns from which
vary so much as in the case of dressmak
ing. A famdy of artisans, for instance,
who wish to m ike a dressmaker of a clever
. irl in her teens, must first save the money
for the apprenticeship premium, which at
no good house will be less than $l5O, and is
quiie likely to be $250. This sum, paid
l -wn in adv rice, covers the apprentice’s
b >ard and lodging, but is none the less hard
ao raise for that, and insures her living in
ie nouse of her employer, where she works
much longer hours than if she went home
it night. Dressmakers’ apprentices serve
ireo years. Sometimes they receive a
mall salary for the last year, sometimes
"thing for the eat re period There is a
ourth year’s probation as improver, dur
lg which the earnings are very small.
i'ne ftillfledged hand, under ordinary cir
■ mi-tanecs, earns about tl.oO a year with
oard. Good houses sometimes pay $204.
"in young woman who leaves the house to
liicn she was articled at the end of her
ie. m and works by the week outside may
iru 8 shillings, as I found one dressmaker
with two children to support doing, or she
uny average 10 shillings, or with good
atronage in a good neighborhood, she may
nake £1 a week or more. It all depends,
i'hoseare the rank and file of the business,
ttie great mass of L ni ion dressmakers. The
x optional dre-ssmak r, who is an artist and
iesiguer, who has such an education as to
• iter into the art revival of the day, aud
originate dress ideas in harmony with it,
nay become a foreman and earn £2OO, like
he college girls and society women wbo
alee up the business, may become the fash
ion and make a fortune. Possibilities f>r
them are not possibilities for the average
London girl brought up in a London back
street.
Englishwomen show considerable in
genuity in finding new occupations for
themselves under tho new social conditions.
I have found about half a dozen at work as
hairdressers for ladies and children, and as
many as photographers, succeeding especi
ally with pictures of b ibies and young chii
iren. The bu-iuess of the trained nurse is
•lot yet overcrowded, but the number of
applicants for training increases so fast that
vacancies in tho London hospitals have
' een rare things for two years. Trained
urses do not earn more than 1 guinea to 2
guineas a week, except in infectious cases,
.nd often not that, a largo proportion of
them being permanently attached to hos
■ital staffs at salaries of not over £3O a
rear, ana sent out to private cases by the
a capital, not receiving the wages them
selves. The woman masseuse has come into
existence here, and the demand for her
erviees increases. There are two or three
voman chemists in London, and several
■ ire now studying in pharmaceutical
ohooh. Art branches of one sort and an
other are, as in America, unreliable. W omen
try wood carving, painting on glass, stain
ing glass, decoratiug china, etc., but ail
these things are overstocked aud afford no
reliable income. There are some women
engravers, but not many. Women are try
ing to raise fruit for sale and canning, but
the past summer has been so wet as to dis
courage many who had embarked in such
schemes. Women with capital let hackney
coaches and go directly into trade quite as
vigorously us in America.
The lack cf training stands in woman’s
way at every turn. The great middle class
Is an immensely conservative class, and it
has hardly yet made up its mind that it is
quite the proper thing for its daughters to
work.
When the need of work comes upon
them, as coine it certainly does in this coun
try where incomes are steadily contracting,
where the family property goes to the boy,
aud where the girl, being one of 3,000,000
too many, very likely, cannot marry, they
are in sore straits, with no industrial re
source, crowding the occupations which are
most easily learned, aud cutting one an
other’s throats by undercutting wages.
There are two distressing spectacles, both
common iu E gland. One is that of a fam
ily of spinster sisters whose parents “could
not thiuk of permitting a daughter of theirs
to go out,” all dependent on the wages of a
brother, who is thereby hindered from mar
rying. The other is the sight of the same
sisters, or others like them, standing about
in a labor market, which they don’t under
stand aud iu which nothing that they have
beau taught to do wifi yield them more
than starvation rates. While she has so
many of them, England must bring up her
gil ls to business. For my part I think I
shall emigrate.

A ROYAL OCULIST.
Expert Work Being Done by a Prince
Who Has a Passion for His Calling.
From the Xew York Pretl.
The work Karl Theodor, Duke Maximil
ian’s second soil, is doing has already at
tracted no little atte ition in Europe. The
veriest medical student whose life and bread
dope ided upon his work never threw him
self into the study of medicine wiih half the
ardor of this young scion of royalty. When
a boy, botany a id chemistry were his favor
ite pursuits; and no sooner were his school
da> s over than he undertook medicine
as a serious study, attending the lectures,
going through the hospitals, end finally
passing tie examinations that qualitied
him to practice as a doctor.
Nor did the duke’s work end here. Hav
ing chosen the iye as bis specialty, ho de
vi ed some year, to a caretul study of tl.e
various theories concerning the treatment
of the blind. This done, he travels i through
Europe, seeking the advice and help of every
oculist of gpeciai eminence in his profes
sion. and it was only wnen he h ul learned
from them all tueyomld teach him that
ho returned to his palaco at Togsm, where
he established himself as a regular oculist.
Any one iinjy con-nit him, his and >or stands
o[ie i to all the world, the only difference
between him and nuy other practitioner
varies in direct ratio with the wealth of
those who seek his aid.
If he performs an operation for n rich
man, the prince’s fee is the same as tbnt of
any other and jctor of equal skill, neither
more nor less. If, however, the patient be
one of those whose meauadrnot allow of
their indulging in suoh expensive luxuries
as groat doctors, well, he lowers his charges
to what they can p.iy; while os f • the p >or
—not merely mendicants, but ' Hi >ts with
£3O a year, civilians with perchance .140—
all such os these, Duke Karl Tlieo ior not
ouly attends without fee, but w hile they are
under his care he receives them as gusts,
feeding and caring for thorn with the ran t
kindly thoughtfulness.

OV3R IN CHARLESTON.
What is Going on in the South Carolina
City.
The United States courts at Charleston
will convene to-day, and are expected to be
in session about two weeks.
Stanhope Sams, managing editor of the
Daily Sun since the retirement of A. B.
Wiiiiams from that position, has severed his
connection with the paper. Saturday his
associates on the Sun presented him with
a handsome ebony cane with a chased gold
handle. The presentation speech was made
by J. H. Moore for himself and the em
ployes of the paper. Mr. Sams made a
graceful acknowledgment of the gift.
The celebrated painting by Romney of
the renowned Mrs. Roger Smith and daugh
ter, which has been in possession of the late
Prof. F. A. Porcher of Charleston, to whom
it bad descended from his ancestors, and
which is now in the possession of Mr. F. A.
Porcher, is being packed and will be shipped
this week to Europe, where it will be placed
on sale. The painting is said to be one of
the finest specimens of art in America, and
is valued at a very high price. It is insured
for SIO,OOO. Charleston is regretting that
the painting will be sent away from there,
and that with it will go a great deal of
money connected with the Porcher family’s
estate in Charleston.
