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 Washington’, 1). C.—General G. ('. 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 8100 for a bottle of St. Jacobs < 111, ‘if he could not get it cheaper. 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.

The ltullcta. “3hiiy, officer, what I want to know i i where arc tho lmllets ?" naked n well- 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 want to know.” “What in thunder are ycu talking about?” “That’s not a respectful manner of I coating n citizen, but I’ll overlook it, •Id fe’, this time. I want to know you slice every New Year’s night or mornin’ everybody blows a horn, rings ft boll, or fires a pish—pish—revolver. Now, wlmt I want to know is, What be comes of the bullets? They go up in the ir, don’t they, and they must coins own, nn sn’t they ?’’ One of the mottoes posted up at the dairy fair in Milwaukee this week, says: ‘ A little rancid butter iu some unseen nook will soon leaven the whole lump.” That’s probably the trouble with a good deal of this boarding house and restau rant butter, a rancid chunk bus crept in nnd was overlooked by tlie proof reader, and when the edition was run off it was found that the whole batch had become ieavem d. ' ‘ Tat.k about memory,” said an Arknuuaw man, “ I’ve got tlie most re tentive memory of any man iu tho country. I cun remember tilings that occurred when I was child." “I don’t think that your memory is so very good,” said an acquaintance. ‘ ‘ Y'ott borrowed 810 from mo some time ago and you have forgotten the circumstance.” “No,Sir, you are wrong. You have doubtless noticed that 1 keep out of your way. Well, that is on account of my memory.” —Traveler. 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 tion for services rendered in positions of 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 ‘tantalizing ?’ ” asked tho teacher. “Please, inarm,” spoke up little Johnny Holcom, “it means a (’irons procession passing thescliool-liouse, and the scholars not allowed to look out.”
