THE EVENING CALL. 701. X No. 220 Social Salad PLEASANTLY REPORTED FOR THE EVENING ('ALL. THE MAN WITH THE HOE. Written Apropus of Millet’s Painting. “The Man With the Hoe ”) it, wed by the weight of centuries he leans Upon his hoe and gazes upon the ground, The emptiness of ages, in his face, And on bis back the burden ot the world. Who made him dead to rupture and de spair, A thing that gives not and that never hopes, Stolid and stunned, a brother to the Ox? Who loosened and let donn his brutal jaw? Whose was the hand that slanted back his brow? W hose breath blew out the light within his brain? Is this the thing the Lord God made and gave To have dominion over sea and land : To trace the stars and search the heavens for power; To ieel the passion of eternity? Is this the Dream He dreamed who shaped the suns And pillared the blue firmament with light? 1 town all the stretch of Hell to its last gulf There is no shape more terrible than this— More tongued w ith censure of the world’s blind greed— More filled with signs and portents for the soul— More frought with mensee to the universe. What gulfs between him and the sera phim ! Slave of the wheel of labor, what to him Are Plato and the swing of Pleiades? What the long reaches of the peaks of song, The rift of dawn, the reddening of the rose? Through this dread shape the suffering ages look; l ime’s tragedy is in that aching stoop ; Through this dread shape humanity be trayed, Plundered, profaned and disinherited, t ries protest to the Judges of the World, A protest that is also prophecy. O masters, lords, and rulers in all lands, Is this the handiwork you give to God, This monstrous thing distorted and soul quenched? How will you ever straighten up this shape; Give back the upward looking and the light; Rebuild it in the- music and the dream; Touch it again with immortality ; Make right the immortal infamies, Perfidious wrongs, immedicable woes? O masters, lords, and rulers of all lands, How will the Future reckon with this Man? How answer his brute question in all that hour When whirlwinds of rebellion shake the world? How will it be with kingdoms and with kings— With those who shaped him to be the thing he is— When this dumb terror shall reply to God After the silence of the centuries? Edwin Markham, in the San Francisco Examiner. * * * The impression seems to prevail al- ; most universally, that (his “new wo- , man,” ec-called, is innately discordant i to man’s ideals; that, in fact, she j forces herself upon him. People seem j tu regard her—as indeed, she often < short-jightedly, regards herself—as , rather of an imposition, as something antagonistic to man’s requirements. Hut we seem not yet to have realized , that just as there is a new woman evolving herself out of tbe old-fashion ed woman, so is a new man taking the place of the old-fashioned man. Are we not doing man an injustice to sup- ( p -e that he remains merely the same < in his ideals and requirements, while woman progresses alone? Just as her ■ former state of domestic bondage has become insufficient to our women, so it has become insufficient to our men- I woman has changed her relative position by increasing her mental abil ity, she is merely answering to man’s requirements, as of old—only men now want more. The study of the rise of woman from the slave to the compan ion, is not only a study of her deepen ing intelligence .but also of man’s in creasing demands We expect more Glorious News J-on'CH f-om Dr B. B. Cargile, of " ashita I 1. He writes: “Four bot tles of Elect-ic Bitters has cured Mrs Brewer of Scrofula, which had caused her great suffering for years. Terrible sores would break out on her head and face, and the best doctors could give no help; but her cure is complete and her health is excellent.” This shows what thousands have proved that Electric Bitte-s is the best blood puri fier known.

No woman cun »v<r be i really masculine hi nature, nu niutiir how much sh- may trv >u innhue man. Her masculinity will be, as an effeminate man’s femininity, merely a manner and appearance, which tend to disgust people, rat her than I her wise. The imitations of the one sex by the other, will never be successful, , because the requirements of each are against it There is much profitless 1 talk about the destiny of the new wo man. Destinies are beyond u#; they are progressions, and we cannot see fate’s ultimate ends But unless a ■ man be pessiment enough to prefer the ancient, decry the modern, and deny the excellence of progress, he must surely be pleased that w» progress Rut lew of us realize our opinions; we merely believe them ; and many in tense optimists inconsistently shrink from the new, as from something more dangerous than promising. Surely the men who progress are civilizers; only savagery advocates barbarism. The modern woman is seasonable. Her sweetness lies in her sympathetic wisdom, and her charm in her fresh, free, high womanhood. Youog-souled, 1 and clear-minded, she will be cheerful < in herself, because she will ba satisfied, i Neither unnoticed and subservient, ! nor aloofly emancipated, but devel oped to her high possibilities, the com ing woman will be more lovable, more admirable, and more companionable, < than she has ever yet been. Raised to 1 her highest capacity, she will be more ' worthy of man, and man will be wor thy of her. * * * The Dorcas Society held a business < meeting at the home of Mrs. Lloyd ' Cleveland, on Taylor street, Monday ( afternoon. c s Missis Nall have as their guest MG c tiara Mynadier, of Baltimore.

Official Cotton Classers ;; The letter addressed to the State Commissioner of Agriculture by Mr , J. P. Wi liams, respecting the need for ; official cotton classers is provoking considerable discussion, and may re i, ceive attention from the legislature, j 1 There is, of course, a great difference i of opinion as to the advisability of' adopting the plan suggested by Mr. Williams, to put a stop to the largi j and steadily increasing reclamations? from cotton buyers in Europe partic ularly those in Liverpool and Bremen. ‘ It is admitted that some of these! reclamations are just, but the opinion ! ' seems to be that many of them rest I ou no real foundation, and are a part | " of a money-making scheme. It is certain that if they are submitted to it r will not be long before they will be come so burdensome that no cotton i 1 dealer in this country can stand them, ! It is probably true that there ;<re in terior buyers who, being entirely irre sponsible, do not hesitate to ship to their customers it grade of cotton | much lower than that which they cun- ? traded to deliver, and there ought to ? be some means at. the ports to deter- : mine whether the cotton is what it i purports io be before it is put on £ shipboard. The interior seller should s not be paid the entire amount due for 5 bis cotton until it is satisfactorily de f termined that he has complied with f his contract ; The appointment of official cotton § classers might be beneficial, to a lim * ited extent, to the cotton pn Iticers, but the chief beneficiaries would li the merchants at the port- who have i to pay the reclamations, 15 it do? ’ seem to be a pretty high handed piece t of business for the foreign buyer to 1 t say whether the cotton he receives is t up to the grade for which hi bir- ’ gained He has it in hi- p over prac- , , ticady to say, within certain limits, j what he will pay for the cotton which be has in his possession. That is al together too on -ridel . to suit the' cotton merchants on this side of the ( ocean. There ought to be no such ■ thing as a reclamation. The question ; as to whether cotton that is de'iv red is of the grade of that s d ought to be settled befcre the cotton is shipped.

Persiflage in the Carpenter Shop- From advance sheets of “The Tool- Chest That Found Itself,” by Bludy yard Stripling, in Harper’s Baz. ir The carpenter had put down his tools and for his luncheon. “Life with me is a perfect b'ire," said the Auger. “I’m a little Inard myself,” s-iid the Small Plank. “There’s no art in this country,” observed the Screw Driver. “Every thing’s screwed in my eyes.” “5 ou don’t stick at anything long enough tu know what you're driving at,” intetjected the Glue. “That s just it,” said the Screw. "He never g. es beneath the surface, the way the Jack-Plane and I do,” “Tut cried the Saw. ‘1 go through things as much as you do Life is stuffed with sawdust.” ‘ Regular grind,” said the tlrind stone. “I agree with you,” observed the Bench ‘lt doesn’t make any differ ence how well I do my work, I’m al ways sat on.” “Let s strike,” said the Hammer. “That’s it,” cried the Auger “You bit. the nail on the head that time." ‘ I’ll hit it again,” retorted the ham mer; and he kept his word, but he hit the wrong nail. That is why the car penter now wears his thumb in a ban d»ge. It was his thumb nail that the hammer struck. C? -A S T C I?.. T A . Bears the 1118 V ,la '’ 0 Death of W H. Orear.
