FOR THE FAIR,SEX. ItewYarkKhonOlrU. What a sad spectacle is lound in the shop ffirls! When one considers the heat of the past summer, and the closo air of the shops, the condition of this class is sufficiently pitiable, but to this is added a peculiar and unreasonable privation. They are not permitted to sit down during business hours. How great a trial this must be to the system I need hardly mention. Were it strictly necessary it might be excused, but in many instances it is a requirement as cruel as it is needless. Shop girls are paid from $2 to $5 per week, and in a few instances $10. Their laoor in some stores closes at six o’clock, while in others it is continued until nine o'clock. They get few opportunities of Vacation, and if such were granted they hardly have a place to go. They are shut up in this vast prison of New York wi'h little prospect of anything but continued labor, until the advance of yoars and the loss of attractiveness cause them to be turned adrift on the world. I wonder why Mrs. A. T. Stewart, who now has an income of $1,000,000, does not do something for this unfortunate class, whose faithful labors did so much for her husband’s success. The shop girls have a claim on the public, but espe cially on those who hold the keys of wealth.- New Fork Letter. The Sloop of the Belle*. The New York correspondent of the Syracuse Journal thus writes of the stoop of the belles: Tho grand afternoon parade of the belles on Fifth avenue has begun. Seeing a number of young women elegantly dressed stooping over ns though weak-chested, or chary of stepping on their heels, I looked at them with sympathy, as they passed, but when the number increased I asked tho meaning of this peculiar bend, or stoop of the belles. Imagine your correspond ent’s surprise to learn that it is tho ashion for a woman to walk as though she is crippled from age, round shoul dered, and lias no ohest to speak of in particular. The whole weight of the body seems to be on the toes, and it is distressing to sec a pretty girl make such a deformity of herself. A servnnt’s recent description of m belle is tolerably worth repeating, ns follows: “Well, mam, I walked down Fifth avenuo on Sunday afternoon and I saw some fine young ladies that made mo sorry for tho them. Why, mam, I think their spines are crooked, the poor things; and one young lady in particular everybody was looking at. She had on a rich purple satin dress, but it was that short you could see tho top of her shoes, and her hkt was purple satin, too, and it just hung on tho back of her head. Her elbows wero stuck out square, nr.d her back bent over so—and sho was that hollow in the chest that I could have cried for her. Hut it was queer to see such a handsome girl leading a little yellow dog witli a black nose by a pur- pie ribbon; and .will you believe me, mam thu.dog had a piece of purple satin nround its Btomnch just the color of her dress, I suppose to keep it wnrrn.” It is needless to add that Bridget has recently com' from the old country, and her ideas of fashions and pug dogs are rather mixed. Fashion Note*. Turbans are still in favor. Fine feathers are worn this season. Foulard and velvet collars and cuffs are worn abroad. Poko bonnets have the trimmings massed far in tront, leaving the crown perfectly baro. Breton lace plaitings in many rows oover one sido of some of tho dressiest Japanese fans. Gold beads mixed with chenille are used in patLerns on the crowns of bon- nets^nd lace to match edges the brim. 'Monograms and heraldic devices are embroidered in gold chain stitch many of the new pockets or reticules Butterfly bows and rosettes of satin ribbon, with drooping ends to fall the low eoiflure, are worn by young ladies in preference to the broud Alsacian bows. A corsage cluster of flowers is now furnished by Parisian modistes witli all dresses except the plainest suits. Some times a small bird is perched in these clusters. Some very sensible overcloaks aro ported lrom abroad. They have capes springing from the shoulders, and they protect the dress entirely. Tho cloaks resemble an enlarged dolman, and they are lined with blue, almond, gray, car dinal or black. Low-throated linen collars, with a point each side and flaring behind, are worn by young ladies. High linen col lars are worn very close indeed, and are made quite straight, with a stud button at the top of the collar, and a second stud lower down. Paiis fashionable dinner and even ing dresses are made of grenadine, laee, Indian or Hindoo tulle, gauze, muslin and barege mixed with silk and satin. Tints of white, black, pearl gray, pale blue and different shades of yellow, such as amber, ripe corn and 'ecru, are the favorite colors, the trimming being jet lace, beads and ribbons. If the habit or casaque bodice is worn, it is of plain figured or brocaded silk or satin mer- veilleux, and generally of a different oolor. The long unpopular and generally un becoming color of green is again appear ing in the list of new and fashionable shades. This color is not of the order of invisible greens, but is of a bright un mistakable line. Suits of this color have already appeared in Par * and London but axe worn mostly by ultra-fashion able ladies, who care more for novelty and eccentricity than for comeliness in ress. There are a variety of shades to choose from, variously named flmpyan green, willow, moss, cooked sorrell grass and serpentine. About eighty-five of every 100 of the weather predictions sent out by the Washington weather bureau the past year have been verified. This beats the almanacs at least. Tho Excellence of Morriage. Happy unions are always voluntary, pot only at the beginning, but as long a- life lasts. Love cannot be made free by a change of statutes. 11 cannot be bound or lost under any circumstances. If the State should lisleu to the petition of thoso who ask that sex relations be exempt from control, the experience of a quarter of a century would convince the world that the old, long-tried, mono gamic solution of the sex question is the wise one. There are evident reasons why such a result would come. Tn all the past emotional experiences of the race, it has been fi und impossible to create an intense idealization of more than cne subject at a time; and it has been found, too, that when such an idealization has been tested by knowl edge and time it does not diminish, hut deepens, and that the effect of this long- continued idealization is to create the best conditions of development, both for those who exercise it, and for those toward whom it is directed. Now, if the best conditions of happiness are once secured they should be maintained. It is not possible to bring out all the re sults of this mu.ual sex idealization in any short period of association. The very fact that the association is a per manent one gives it earnestness and dig nity. It would not be possible to extract from a half-dozen associations, extend ing over a period of twenty-five years, he same amount of fine character-de velopment that would come from one fortunate association lasting for the same time. When we are once sure of tho wisdom, and integrity, nnd affection of some friend through long experience, we spend no more brain activity in Warning his peculiarities of character xnd in adapting ourselves to them. Tho Jsociation of man and wife is rather .floral and nflVctional than intellectual, rt is a rest, a certainty, a point of de parture for other activities. Once set tled, and safely settled, wo waste no power in readjusting the relations, but take tho fruit ns it ripens, without the need of uprooting the old and planting few trees.—N»ri)i American Review. Tattooing a Child’s Eye-Ball. An ingenious and skillful operation was performed upon a little girl recently, it St. Joseph’s infirmary, Louisville. Tho child had previously suffered from an atjnck of what is technically termed “ulcerative karntltis,” in other words, an ulceration of tho transparent portion of the eye-ball. This inflammation and ulceration having subsided, there was leit, of course, what always follows, scar. This scar In tho corner is opaque and of a milky color, and it interfered with the vision by obstructing the rays of light ns they pass into tho eye, and at the same time produces an objectionable Curious Sea Inhabitants. There is a continual warfare going on in the deep, a constant struggle for the n c:\ns o( sustaining life The earniver- oih devour the vegetarians, and the mad enters swallow both animal and vegetable forms; and this runs all the way down the scale, from the shark and the equally ravenous blu n fish to the least of the annelids. These last, the sea-worms, are wary, but they eannot escape their enemies. If they were to coniine themselves to the bottom, where they teed and where many of them grow to the length of a foot or two, they might in a measure escape, though they would still be a ffi’ey to the scud and other fish that know how to dig for them; but they lovo to swim, particu larly at night and in the breeding sea son, and then they are snapped up in countless numbers. They have almost every variety of forms nnd their struct ure is marvelous — monsters with booked jaws at the nd ot a probocis and, withal, sides of bluest green that throw off an Infinite vnriety of irides cent hues. Some of the sea-worms have scales, others have soft bodies; some aro sluggish and curl themseives up into balls when disturbed, others are restless, particularly at night; some are round, olliers flat; some build tubes of snnd and cement, woven together till they make a co'ony of innny hundred members; the tubes of others are soft nnd flexible, nnd some, when disturbed, withdraw within their crooked calcare ous tubes and close the orilico with a plug. One variety of the serpulw has three dark rod eyes; another has clus ters of eyes on each tentaclo. The am- phibods wero accounted of no great value till it wns shown by the fish com mission that these small Crustacea fur nish a vnst amount of food for botli salt and fresh water fishes. Indeed, there is not a creature that swims or crawls that does not be come the food of some other animal. A beach flea is caught up by a soup or flounder; squids nmko terrible havoc among young mackerel, nnd sharks and sting-rays find something appetizing in tho gastcropod. But 1 have not room hero to dwell on the attractions offered by Ihe inverte brate animals on this coast. Tho rocky shores abound in vnrioties differing from the product of sandy and muddy bottoms, and the different zones have their peculiar forms of nnimal and vege table life, and one lias only to sweep the water with a fine net, and drawing it through tho seaweed, to gather an infin ite variety of animal life, so minute and delicate in form as only to he seen with the aid of a glass. At tho laboratory of the fish commission, crabs not bigger Ilian the head of a pin may bo seen swimming in a shallow dish, tiny forms, nlmost transparent, but active loformity which no one wishes to have. Tho objects to bo secured by the opem- j and pugnacious when they meet each tion wero two-fold: First, to remove the deformity; second, to restore the v Lion to the affected eye. The first ob ject was the one sought in the operation. Hie child was put under tho influence of an anoBsthetic, and then, a drop of ink being placed upon this spot, the opera tor made an innumerable number of in cisions into it with a needle-knife; that, is to say, by a process of tattooing, col ored this white spot black. This secures tlio first object; the second remains to be secured by another operation, be cause tho obstruction to vision still re mains, though, being of the color of the pupil or tho iris, is not distinguishable by any but a very close observer. The iris, or colored curtain which hangs behind the transparent portion of ttie irlobo, and which gives tho heavenly blue, or the cold gray, or the passionate black eye, according as naturu chooses to color it, has a circular aperture for the admission of rays of tight, and, ns lliis opacity of tho cornea is in front ot that aperturo, excluding thoso rays of light, there remains but one thing to do, and that is to make another opening in that ourtain. or extend tho one already there. If it is impossible to go through an obstruction or to remove it, then tho simplest thing, of course, is to go nround it. That is what is done by this opera tion of cutting out a portion of the iris which is called “iridectomy.” This piece of the iris is usually taken out just above the pupil, for the reason that it is less noticeable in that situation than any other. An Editor’s Apology, Tills is our first experience in running a newspaper. Little d r d we think that when we placed our name in the columns or the Clarion, as tho responsible person for the matter that happened to find its way into these columns, that anything would ever happen that wo would have to take back or get whipped. But such is the case. We have either got to give up the freedom of the press or get a head put on us. The item which appeared about one “ Prof.” Gerhert playing the “ Arkansaw Traveler ” around the street corners of Kearney lor cold biscuits and slack and sour barley water has got to bo apologized for. Last Wednesday when we were going along one of the principal streets of the county seat in company with several friends, there sud denly appeared before our gaze the slandered “Professor.” He commenced the conversation by saying he had not been given his dinner by a servant girl at the back door and thought he would makega lunch out of the writer. We entered a protest but to no use. He claimed be was four hundred miles from home, both heelg run over, and all wool and a yard wide, warranted to neither rip nor ravel, and had killed enough editors to make a corduroy road from Lookout '.Mountain to Puget Sound. He unbuttoned his coat and gently plac ing his hand in his hip pocket, he calmly gave us our choice between a retraction and having our carcass shot all full of bullet holes. As the thoughts rapidly traversed our mind about having our remains sent to an aged and loving mother looking like . the top sieve of a fanniLg mill, and how our creditors would mourn at our death, as we thought of another person that holds a warranty deed of the four sections of our heart, town nine, range thirteen, the idea of being shot by a second- class, one-horse, cranky fiddler was more than we could stand. Hence the apology,—Shelton (Neb.) Clarion. other. These minute animats at this Hugo arc not fully formed, but liave a tail, which, when not in use, is drawn up under the body. This appendage, like the caudal one of tire tadpole, dis appears when the creature has no tur- ther need ol it. So of tho you ig of the lobster; it has five feet, while tue ab dominal segments arc tlaltened out into a tall lin. But perhaps there is no greater change in the growth ol nny of the Crustacea than that which charac terizes tho star-fish. Its larva seems complete in itself, and its movements aro active before it presents any aspects of the parent fish. Even its temporary mouth does not remain the permanent mouth of tlio star-fish. It is the star fish that is the great destroyer of oys ters, and there is nothing more tenacious of life. Tear off one of its lobes or arms and another will grow in its place; tear ofl'lwo, three—nil of its five arms and it is able to reproduce [them all.— Corre spondence of Ihe New York Post. Womanhood to the adroit and unscrupu lous arts of baud. Babbitt arrested the woman hut roon found that the was too wise to place hcrsi'll within the meshes of the law. ai.d lienee the prosecution dropped. Her oik rations were discontinued until the Babbitt money was spent, and she then appeared in a new role. This was hiring iano3 which was sent to auction as soon as possible and converted into cash. These instruments were of course mortgaged, but this made no difference. All that the owners could do was to bring suit, and she was so much accus tomed to law that it had io-t its terrors. The above is only part of the woman s operations, but when one considers that she has a husband and family it shows how widely her genius can extend be yond the limits of the domestic circle. These confidence women have great success in finding victims, one of their favorite methods being clairvoyauce. Commodore Vanderbilt fell into such bunds in his latter days, and was no doubt bled handsomely. The Feet ol Chinese Women. An American missionary, Miss Nor wood, ol Swatow, has lately described how tho size of the loot is reduced in Chineso women. The binding of the feet is not begun till tho child has learned to walk and do various things. The bandages nre specially manufac tured, and are about two inches wide and two yards long for the first year, five yards lonv for subsequent years. Tho end of the strip is laid on tho inside of the foot at the instep, then carried over the toes, under the foot and round the heel, tho toes being thus drawn for ward and over tho sole, while a bulge is produced bh the instep and n deep in dentntion in tho sole. The indentation, it is considered, should measure about an inch and a half from the part of the foot that rests on the ground up to tho instep. Successive layers of bandages nre used till the strip is all used, and the end is then sewn tightly down. The foot Is so tqucezod upward that, walking, only the ball of tho great toe touches the ground. Large quantities of powdered alum aro used to prevent ulceration and lessen the offensive odor. After a month the foot is put in hot water to soak some time; then the bandage is carefully unwound, much dead cuticle coming off with it. Ulcers and other sores are often found on the foot, frequently, too, a large piece ol flesh sloughs off the solo, and one or two Iocs may even drop off, in which case tho woman feels nltcrward repaid by having smaller and more delicate feet. Each time the bandage is taken oil the foot is kneaded, to make the joints more flexible, and is then bound up again as quickly as possible with a fresh bandage, which is drawn up more lightly. During tho first year the pain is so intense that the sufferer can do nothing, and for about two years the foot aches continually, nnd is the seal f a pain which is like the piieking ol -Imrp needles. With continued rigor ■us binding tho foot in two years bit- omos dead, and ceases to ache, and ti c vvhole leg, from the knee downward, becomes shrunk, so as to be little more than skin and bone. When once formed, ho “ golden lily,” as the Chinese lady alls her delicate little foot, can uevei recover its original shape.

CoRlldouce Women. The skill displayed by that class com monly known as confidence women de serves notice, says the New York cor respondent ot tlio Troy 7imcs. One of this class recently included a railway conductor among her victims, iris loss being of a heavy amount. Hail way men are generally very shrewd, but in this case Conductor Perrin was completely duped by the smooth statements of the confidence woman, who obtained more than a thousan i dollars by her artifices She became acquainted with her victim while traveling on his train, and per suaded him to advance money in order to aid her in recovering a largo estate. Sho gave mmy good references, one of which was Robert Bonner. This is a very common trick nmong swindlers, who know that when a good name is given few ever make inquiry. Bonner, however. wo3 questioned after the fraud became known, and his reply was that fie had no acquaintance with any such person. Conductor Perrin lias acquired an experience which ought to be really valuable, since it has cost so much. The remarkable nerve, tact and general skill exhibited by one of this class of women shows a genius for fraud which is really surprising. Two of her victims]wero among the most penetrative and astute business men in this city, who, However, in her hands became facile dupes. One of these was a re ceiver ofsto.en diamonds, whose death has recently been mentioned. He had for twenty years been dealing with burglnrs and pickpockets, and was con sidered unusually sharp, but she manip ulated him in a very ready manner. After he had suffered a heavy loss he awoke to the fact that there was at least one woman who was his master. Her next victim was Babbitt, the magnate of the soap trade, who had boen robbed by his bookkeeper to a heavy amount. One day a young woman called at his office and interested him by a statement concerning the above-men tioned bookkeeper of a surprising char acter. She readily convinced the soap man that she could put him on the track of the lost money if a small sum were advanced to meet expenses. Such was the skill of this'remarkable confidence operator that she had obtained $19,0H0 from Babbitt before bis suspicion was aroused. He then learned too late that he had been merely duped by a profes sional Bwindler who addedthe graces of Tlio Camera’s First Work In Amoricu. The following is the account, as pub lished ten ycavs ago, of the first daguer reotype picturo, taken by Professor Morse, inventor of the telegraph: Its first trial he made during the summer of 1838 upon a plate of plated copper found in a hardware store. It was about the &izeof a common playing-card Fite professor adjusted the apparatus at a back window in the stairway at tin- back of the University of New York, which fronts on Washington square; the same University where the lamented Winthrop used to live, nnd where lie wrote his charming stories. The ob ject taken was tho Unitarian church, now the Globe theater, w rich stands op posite the New York hotelon Broadway. Tile hotel was not then built, and all the space, now a solid mass of houses, be tween the university and the church, was unoccupied, so that Professor Morse had a clear view of the church. Wiih 'ntense curiosity and much oxcilemen- he adjusted tho camera, prepnred tho chemicals, and proceeded to take the picture. He was successful in obtain ing an impression, although, owing to the impurities of the silver upon the plate, it was defective. Yet it assured Professor Morse that the process was genuine. Titis was the first daguerno- type ever taken in America. The First Criminnl Trial In Pennsjl- vauto* The first criminal trial in Pennsyl vania is a curious attestation ol the mild and gentle spirit in which the Quaker colonizer managed iris American farm. Early in 1683 the first jury was impan eled at Coaquannocks, or Philadelphia, for the trial of one Pickering, with, others ns accessories, who were con victed before the governor and council of counterfeiting the Spanish silver money current in the colony. The sen tence was that ho was to pay a fine of £10 toward the building of a court house, standing committed until pay ment, find securities for his good be havior, and make restitution in good silver to the holders of his base coin, which, being first melted down, was to be restored to him. Spots on the son are sometimes freckles and sometimes photographs of a mother’s loving but weighty hand.
