ILLITERACY IX THIS COUNTRY.
The Hon. .Tolm Eaton, United States
ComniiHsioner of Emigration, in a lecture
on “Illiteracy, na Shown by the Coukur
of 1880,” stuil that according to the last
comma there were in the United States
over 3,200,000 colored persons, over
2,200,000 native whites, and over 700,-
000 foreign lmru whites over ten years
old who could not write.
Although this was relatively an ad
vance of three per cent, over 1870 in the
number who could write it was an in
crease of 581,000 in tho nuinlier who
could not write.
The lecturer's first projKisitiou was
that greater nativity was needed on the
jiart of (ill the agencies that promote
education. Greater activity was needed
in tlie family, for there was a large iii-
creaao in the nunilier of neglected chil
dren. In the church there should lie
more activity. The Sabbatli-scliools had
only about 0,250,000 children. If they
held only the youth of tho laud they
should have from 15,000,000 to 20,000,-
000. Tho churches would require 21,000,-
000 additional sittings to acooimnodato
the population, and to give one religious
paper to each family would take a circu
lation of 10,000,000 copies. It was ab
surd to ask the church to colic with the
illiteracy of the country. There Mere
over 5,700,000 children who did not at
tend the public schools. Allowing 700,-
000 ns attendants at private schools there
were 5,000,000 out of kcIkhi). To pro
vide sittings for these would require
3100,000,000. Thirty thousand addi
tional teachers would lie needed, costing
810,000,000, so that for tho Hist year
8110,000,000 would have to be spent.
'The average absentees from school in
our cities was nearly two-fifths of the
Hchool ]M)imlntion, lint the absentees
were mainly concentrated in the South
ern States,
In the South there were 4,700,000
white and colored persons over toll years
old who could not write. Should we ask
the churches to educate them? Tho
churches were constantly appealing ti
us for aid for themselves. Should we
ask the States? The States were
poverished nuil loaded with taxes.
Mr, Eaton gave a mass of interesting
figures, from which lie reached the con
clusion that if tho illiterates were all
taught to read and write the value of
their labor would be so increased that an
increment of wealth amounting to 8188,-
757,000 a year Would be added .to tho
whole country. There were, ho contin
ued, 1,870,210 adult males who cannot
raid. These were substantially voters.
In 11 States the illiterate voters outnum
bered the votes of either political party,
and in live States, there were enough
illiterate voters to have reversed the re
sult of tlie last election ill each State.
There were 4,1123,(101) persons over 10
years of ago who could not read the ar
guments, warnings, mid appeals made to
them by the press. Mr. Eaton spoke of.
many thousands of children in the Terri
tories who must be educated, and then
urged that the Nation was tho only
agency equal in newer and ample in
means to successfully grapple with tlm
problem of illiteracy. All the present
agencies were overtaxed. Tho Nation
had given millions for roids and rivers
in tho States, groat grants of lands to
railroads, grants in aid of agricultural
colleges, and had given aid to the blind
and (leaf and dumb. Only the general
Government could meet the greatness of
the present emergency by aiding tlm
States in helping and extending estab
lished agencies.
Women and Industry.
Tlie industrial status of women at IIos-
ton is the subject of some notes by the
Herald. Where once scarcely a woman
Was to be seen ill tho stores and shops,
hundreds are now at work,anil their ser
vices are highly valued and sometimes
well paid. One tlnn employs 300 women
against 5 thirteen years igo, and si ill
another gives work to between 1,2(H) and
1,300. There is a bright side to tlm
work-aud-live question for women there.
Borne employers are constantly trying to
make them comfortable and contented,
granting them privileges which were
unco thought to bo inconsistent witli
■'business principles. In a number of
the largest bouses lunch rooms are fur
nished for them, and tlie proprietors
give them substantial aid in saving
money, and pay men and women equal
wages for similar work. On the other
hand, there are employers who leave
their work-girls only the alternates of
beggary or disgrace. There are girls
in the city stores, Buys the Herald, who
live out of town and are expected to
dress well, pay railroad fares, $3 a week
(or table board and 81.50 for room rent
out of a $4 salary. The arithmetic of
• his is puzzling; lmt thei r e is no mystery
in this when it it is known that many
employers encourage them to prostitu
tion. One who has a store on Tromont
street, for instance, ottered mi applicant
for work a salary of $5 per week; and to
the answer, "But that will only pay for
my bourd mid room,” asked, “Haven’t
you some gentleman friend who will pay
for your clothes?" Another person rep
rimanded a saleswoman for repelling the
insults of rich snobs on a tour of in
spection, bocause it would “injure
trade.” There are other girls who earn
82 n week mid even less. What are
they to do if they have no friends to de
pend on ?
A Mil liar.* Man .lade

lviiillin, in a letter stnting his wife was
curod of o painful ailment by St. Jacobs
Oil, writes that after witnessing its mag
ical cure of pain he would cheei fully pay

Biiead.—A young lady of Oakland,
Cal., married a bnikeman in pique, mul
then returned to lier family and kept the
wedding secret When it was discovered
she sent for her bust mud and expressed
her desire to live with him. He agreed
to this on tlie condition that at the end
of six inouths she could bake a loaf of
bread that would meet with the approval
of his friends, but it is hoped that he
may lie induced to receive her, bread or
no bread.

dressed young man in Union square,
New York, not long since.
“Ah, go eu; goon,” said the police
man.
“No, shir; 1 will not go on. In fact,
I mosht respectfully refuse to go on until
you reply to my question. What becomes
of the bullets? old fel; that’s what I

“What in thunder are ycu talking

you are wrong. You have doubtless
noticed that 1 keep out of your way.
Well, that is on account of my memory.”

Reduced Pay.—A clause in the Army
Appropriation hill provides that all ojli-
cerson tho retired list shall receive only
the pay of tho rank they held in the reg
ular army at tho date of retirement.
Officers wounded while commanding
brigades or divisions in tho volunteer
army, and justly entitled to considera

great responsibility, would tints, some of
them, lip suddenly brought down to the
remuneration duo to a retired major,
captain or lieutenant, since the rank in
the regular army bad often no proper rel
ation to the position in the volunteer
service. One officer loses over §3, DUO a
year by tlie reduction.
“What is the moaning of tho word
