who is thrown upon her own resources for sup
port, by reason OF her not being incumbered
with husband, or by being deprived Of the
staff and comfort Of her life by the hand of
death, is totally untitled for anything in the
wide world except the needle. In oonse-
quenoe of this lamentsble state OF affairs, the
needle market is overstooked, aud insufficient
wages are the inevitable result. II there
were no more seamstresses than were neces-
sary TO make all the shirts that the masculine
world can wear, the price Of shirts would
have an upward tendency, and SO would
women's wages The remedy for this diff
Guilty is the opening Of new spheres of labor
for the sex. Two things are necessary
to accomplish this. Th great, over
grown boys who lounge behind the
counter must first be driven into the fields
and the workshops, and then the women who
are to take their places must be qualified for
doing 30. And not alone behind the counter,
but in scores of places besides, is woman en-
titled to irmer foothold than she now enjoys.
Yet in scarcely any kind Of light labor
for which our sisters and daughters are fitted
by nature is the prevailing standard of educa-
tion amopg them sufficiently high. A woman
who knows nothing of geography is not fitted
TO be telegraph operator; a woman who
writes slow scrawl is not fitted to be a book
keeper; a woman who cannot detect a cJun-
teileit note, in spite of accumulated grease
and dirt, is not fitted to dispose of cslicoes
ard ribbons; woman who, like the young
man by whom a fatal mistake was made
in this city few days ago, does not
know the difference between assafmtida
and atropia, is not 6ted to dispense
hfe-giviDg and death-dealing drugs;
woman who, like old mother Wallace
of coffee pot fame, tortures two and two into
seven, and three times six into hundred and
nineteen and half, is not fitted for anything
more enDoblpg or more profitable than the
rocking of cradle or the securing of a door
knob. Let the old grannies and the young
ladies who are determined upon setting right
all the wrongs which aiilict the human race,
keep these simple facts in mind while they
are in cOnolave at the Hub, and they
will prove themselves to be not such oonsum-
mate fools as some people think they are,
with fair show Of justice. Better still than
that, they will be able to accomplish soma
thing towards securing for the laboring
women of the country just recompense for
their toll, towards turning from the paths of
vice tens of thousands of creatures as frail as
they are fair, who must go to the dogs be-
cause they have no other alternative save
starvation.

The National CHRISTIAN Convention
The National Christian Convention, composed
of the ministers and laymen of all the Pro-
testant denominations, concluded session of
three days at the Reformed Dutch Church.
New York, yesterday. The object of this
Conve nton was TO discuss questions relating
to the welfare of the Church of Christ, to
devise If possible some means tor exciting
greater interest in religion, and to promote a
unity of feeling and action among Christians
of all denominations. OF course, the decisions
of this body will have no binding force on
any of the denominations represented, and
indeed the idea was rather to promote
Christian unity among the members of the
different evangelical denominations, and to
arouse them to concerted action on those
matters that they are all agreed upon, rather
than to argue about the technical differences
that separate the sects.
Some of the questions debated were of the
highest importance, and it is to be hoped that
the result of this conference will be that
churches of all denominations will be induced to
consider them with view of correcting evils
in church management that undoubtedly
exist.
The system of renting pews was warmly
debated, and by number of the speakers de-
nounced as tending to. drive the poor away
from the churches. This is one Of the knotty
questions for which it is difficult to find a
satisfactory solution. Free churches, where
they have been established, have only been
partially successful and the renting of psws
seems to be almost the only means by which
the necessary revenue for supporting ministers
and paying necessary expenses can be GER
tainly secured. At the same time this ar
rangement undoubtedly has the effect OF
closing the door OF many of our churches not
only in the faces OF the poor but to all stran-
gers, and it is worthy Of the consideration OF
means cannot be devised whereby our churches
can be thrown open and all comers be made to
feel that they are heartily welcome.
The Convention did not arrive at any con-
clusion on this subject, but an interchange OF
experiences and opinions was had and the
result may be that sufficient interest will be
excited among the different denominations to
bring about much needed reform.
We think that conferences Of this kind are
calculated to do good. Whether union of
all the Protestant denominations is possible,
or whether such union would bs advan-
tsgeous, are matters of serious doubt, but
there are many things of the utmost import
ance for the promotion of the cause of Chris
tianity in which the different scots might
CO. operate with advantage.

Within a very few years past chrome litho-
graphs have become extensively popular, and,
good, bad, and Indifferent, they have figured In
the print shop windows and have found their
way into thousands of homes. There are few
persons who have no taste whatever for art or
who do not care TO have pictures of some sort

they only consider them in the light of furni-

Gambling Stock-JObbing Operations.
The general public cares but little for the con-
tests of the bulls and bears OF the stock boards
when they are conducted in the usual man
ner. The victims Of adrOit combinations re-
oeive but little sympathy for their defeat in
the ordinary diamond cut diamond encounters.
When, however, audacious gamblers in stocks
assail vital national interests, and embarrass
the entire business community, for the pur-
pose of promoting their nefarious schemes,
they commit an act deserving condign punish
ment, and place themselves in category Of
public criminals but little better than the
poisoners of wells. New York journals state
that prominent stock operator OF that city
acknowledges that he contributed one million
Of dollars to the clique formed for the pur-
pose of "lockipg up greenbacks, and the fact
is established by abundant testimony that this
clique borrowed and controlled, at the season
when money is most in demand for the
movement OF crops, many millions Of
dollars, which they withdrew from circulation
for the purpose OF producing an artificial 6nau-
eial striDgency. The immediate object they
had in view was a reduction in the price OF
stocks; but they regarded with reckless and
criminal indifference the effect of their machi-
nations upon the national revenue, the
national securities, and the multifariOus pecu-
mary transactions OF the country. If Score

The Woman Question.

THERE is one element of the woman ques-
tion which is almost invariably overlooked by
those who are perpetually making noise
about the grievances of the fair sex. As we
remarked yesterday, nearly every woman
