In the same bureau, where you viii

Is most of them, there is, perhaps a ma
Jority of the female clerks with whose
dulness and demeanor it would be diff
cult 70 find fault-women working ike
horses, scarce taking time for lunch,
and copies Of important papers with
wonderful rapidity and correctness ;
some OF them doing precisely the same
kind Of work, and as much of it, as men
at salaries OF one thousand dollars, one
thousand four hundred dollars and one
thousand six hundred dollars per annum,
while they get seven hundred and
twenty dollars.
At the end Of the month all get equal
pay. Their chances of promotion are the

who have done the least work What
wonder that the experiment is thought
by many to be a failure?
1t is for the people tOsay whether influ-
entiGl men shall close the door against
honorable women bymaking these places
accessible 10 women Of bad character
and of no character. Will they paw men
double or treble salaries for doing what
women can do quite as wei, and
will do fer a compensation so much
lower? Will they not sustain heads of
against that type Of Con-
gressional influence which carries cor
rupti0n Of the worst kind into the de-
partments, and makes government off
ces places Of assignation, or excludes
honorable women from honorable and
suitable employment? Thc exclusion OF
women from these places will not i'm
prove the morals Of the city or the coun-
try, while their employment in them,
under proper regulations, could not
fail 10 exercise a most beneficial
influence. There are thousands of
women perfectly able and willing to per-
form the duties of any first or second
clerkship here; thousands who by the
war have been deprived Of their former
means Of support, and left with families
dependent upon them; and il is mean
and cOwardly for the Government to set
the example Of driving such from a class
Of occupations well suited to their capa-

BI~ Perhaps in all the arts there is no
! other machine that multiplies the pro
! duct Of labor to "a greater extent than the
simple little machine, recently invented
| by J. c, Brown, of Brooklyn, L. l., for
! making wooden tOOthpicks and splints
| for lighting lamps, for matches. for has
I kets, and for some forty other purposes.
! A block Of wood is placed In the machine
and the splints pour out in COnstant
stream, or cataract, like the pouring Of
| corn from q half bushel. The machine Is
simple as il is effectual, it being nothing
more than an ordinary lathe for turning
( wood, with a little addition. The trunk
Of whitewOOd tree is sawed into blocks
! Of length equal to the length Of the
| toothpicks or splints, and is centered in
the lathe. The turning tool is long,
stiff chisel, extending the whole
/ length of the block or more. set verti
cally, with its edge on a level with
the cente-s, and fitted 10 slide back and
| forth horizontally, and 10 be fed forward
with worm, which is turned by the
machine. Upon the opposite sl3e OF the
block IS a roller Of the same length as the
1 block, with a series Of blades secured I'm
its surface, the space between the blade
being equal o. the width Of the splints
Fn5 lamp lighters the blades are SET
parallel 10 each other, but for tooIhpicks
they are set at a small angle, so as 60 cut
the picks Of the proper taper, the narrow
ends alternating with the broad, and thus
using up all the wood, The block is first
turned Off smooth by the straight blade.
and then the cutter with the radical
blades is brought forward against the op-
posite side, and thrown into gear, when
It feeds forward as the wood is cut away.
The radical blades cut shallow Rashes
into the block to a depth just equal TO
the thickness Of the splints, and then as
the block revolves the 'spllnts are shaved
off by a straight chisel. One machine
makes twenty thousand splints minute.
