80w They are EHticed from
their Homes,

From the New York Tribune, IIth.l
Kate Davis, an abandoned woman who
keeps a disreputable house in East
Twenty-seventh street, was brought be-
fore Inspector Dllks yesterday, by order
of an aged lady, resident Of Boston,
who stated that heF daughter, a beautiful
girl of about sixteen years, and a COM
panion of about her own age, had been
induced by the woman Davis to leave
their homes and come on to this city,
and enter upon life of shame. The
complaint was made by the mother TO
superintendent Kennedy several DAYS
age, but as the whereabouts of the girls
were unknown, it required considerable
search before they could be found. The
statement made to Datectiye Smith by
the girls was that they had been induced
to come on TO this city by Mrs. Bart
lett, an old wretch who keeps q low den
In Twenty-secOnd street, she promising
that they should lead an easy life, have
q profusion of fine clothes, and be af-
forded an opportunity of making plenty
OF money. One reason why the daugh-
ter was willing to enter upon a life of
shame was that her mother was in poor
health and unable to labor much for
her support. The father is a vagabond

months ago, refusing to contribute any,
thing to their support. Under these cir.
cumstanees the poor girl found that the
wages she received rs q ballet girl at one
Of the Boston theaters was barely suffi-
cient to provide herself and mother with
the mere neQessaries of life, Before
leaving BOSTON she stipulated with her
temptres that portion Of her earnings
were to be given her weekly, that
she might send them on TO her mother,
This plan was readily agreed to, and
she and her companion came on to this
city, and entered upon their life of
shame but their earnings were not suf.
fcient to satisfy the heartless wretch
who had entieed them from home, so she
drove them into the streets with scarcely
clothing enough upon them to satisfy the
requirements of decsncy. They were ta-
ken in by the woman, Davis, superbly
clothed, and were up to the time the po-
lice found them, the bellies OF the par
logs OF this infamous woman. Although
the girls testify that they have each |
earned by their dreadful trade from 500
to 800 per week, the woman Davis de-
olared thst they had not earned more
than sufficient to pay for their board and |
some small necessaries abe had procured
them. On attempting to leave the house
with the officeT, q colored woman, who |
had, doubtless, been instructed 60 to do /!
by her employer, declared that the |
dresses and hats Of the girls belonged to
her mistress, and that they would not be |
allowed to take them from the house, |
She was promptly thrust aside by detec- |
tive Smith, and the girls taken to police
headquarters. The meeting between |
mother and daughter was very affecting. /

wrong-that she had been employed in q
mandatory during her stay In the city.
This was the understanding when the
girl left home, and Superintendent Ken
nedy and Inspector Dilks thought 1t best
not to undeeeive the mother, by telling
her the actual faets. She and the dsugh-
ter Were sent TO an adjacent hotel, to
await the departure of the Bos-
ton boat. The woman, Davis,
was then sent for, and after
being reprimanded for taking two mere
girls into her bagnio, che was ordered to
disgorge enough Of the money earned by
these girls to take both them and the
mother to Boston, and pay the expenses
Of the latter while here. She refused to
pay one dollar, declaring that the girls
were in debt to her for the clothing they
had on, and denying that they had earn
ed anything like the amount claimed by
them. She was told that unless she
complied with these requirements, she
would be locked up. Could che not give
procure thousands of dollars from her
7" friends" No; she must pay the ex-
penses Of the psrty home, or be locked
up, and in addition q policeman would
be stationed in front Of her house, both
night and day, to warn all who were
about to enter Of the character of the
house. Finding that she would be lock-
ed up unless she complied with the In
spector's just demand, the obdurate Wo-i
man, with many protestations and ex-
pressions sofindignatiOD, paid the amount
called for, and, accompanied by q fe-
male companion, who was very vehe-
ment in her declarations of being res
pectable married woman, swept from the
white marble building with flourish Of
indignation at having been subjected to
the lndignity of an arrest, and entering
q carriage returned to her house. The
girls, especially the one for whom the
mother was sOlicitous, are very pretty,
and profess themselves thoroughly dis
gusted with the life they have been
leading. They are willing, they say, to
return home, and endeavor to mske
amends for the past by leading correct
lives in the future. The party left for
home last evening, in the Boston boat.

CHEYENNE.
The Comforts Of a Residence on
the Plains.

A correspondent Of the Tribune, writ
ing from Cheyenne on the 3lst ult., says:
Within the last week there has been q
very perceptlble addition to the popula-
ton of this town. Here, the citizens
nave organized for protection, and to give
reasonable security to the soldiers and
public property near by, at night pickles
are thrown out q Ia alilltGire. e.nf the
plains are patroiled by armed horsemen.
Occasionally real or imaginary Indian
is fired at, the alarm is given, excitement
subsidies, and all laugh at the folly and
the fright. Cheyenne is, to-day, as safe
from attack as Chicago. Nor do think,
from all that | have seen or can learn,
that any point upon the railroad is in the
least danger. True, 1t is hard to tell, for
OF sIi things in the world the Indian ls
more where he is not than where he is
Apparent safety is the token by which
border man prepares for danger, Night
before last, a few miles from here, the
redskins ran off seventy-tWo head of
Government mules. Other little pecea-
dilloes are reported, but nothing impor-
tant. The Denver stages run regularly,
but of course they are heavily armed, and
are ready st any moment for q
tight or q run. A gentleman
came through from the mouth of
Crow creek on Saturday, about fifty miles,
entirely unarmed and alone. He was
on horseback, and made the distance in
less than seven hours, without seeing an
Indian. He had just helped bury three
victims OF the soAlping knife, and NAV
be said, iR no fgurative sense, to have
run tbs gauntlet. Words cannot express
the strOciOus savagisms prscticed upon
their recent female victims by the devils
with whom our Commissioners have
been 80 successfully treating. A singular
instance OF tenaeity of life and good
surgery ia presented in the case of young
CahOOn, the conductor on the Union Pa
citic Railroad. On the first day OF May
last this young man was shot By Indians
at Sydney Station, He received twelve
arrow wouIds. One arrow from the
back passed entirely through his body,
about an inch and half above the
heart. Four other arrows penetrated his
lungs. Several "red brothers" took
pieessOf his scalp, until nearly all his
hair was " lifted" He was brought to
this place ia what was supposed to be
dying condition, and placed under the
medical charge OF DR.. II. Latham, sur
geOn for the Union Pacific Railroad. In
two weeks he was able ts proceed by
easy stages to his home In Pennsylvania,
and is now fully Tecovered-except the
hair on the top of his head, in the place
where the hair ought to grow-about to
return and take charge Of his train. 1
saw this young man q week after he was
wounded, examined his wounds, and
know what state to be so. Perhaps no
more extraordinary case of recovery
from seemingly fatal violence is any
where recorded,

A Fallen star.

Some ten years ago, q yeung lady, the
daughter Of distinguished merchant OF
Cincinnati, became snsmored OF young
man then clerking IN her fathers store
The parents opposed the marriage, and
the Ecareely formed engagement was
broken of. Soon afterW ard she disap-
peared from her home, and 8 year sub
sequent was discovered leading an sbsn-
doned life in ST. Louis. Young, besuti-
ful, and educated, she was nevertheless
thoroughly deprsved. Her parents
made every endesvor TO restore her 10
her home, but in vain. Fascinated with
sllurements OF her vicious career, she
could not be weaned from it. Two days
ago this woman, once go battered and
csressed by society, so fitted to sdOrn its
highest circles, was brought TO the CEN
tral station in this city in 8 wheelbar-
row, picked up in the street in a state Of
utter drunkenness. She still preserves
the traces OF the remarkable beauty that
once won upon the hearts Of all who saw
her. But the day Of her prosperity is
over, and che 10 rapidly descending the
path thSt leads to a pauper's grave
And few now would recognize in the
features Of Sallie Dean the belle and the
beauty ofthe Western metropolis. IN

EARLY WAGES OF LABOR IN INDIANA AND
KENTUCKY.

These 1gureS present no very discOuf-
sging appearance 10 US in rivalry. 1t
appears that, as 8 general rule, labor is
cheaper in Kentucky than Indiana. The
difference is nearly ten per cent. The
manufacturers OF State grow up and
prosper by the aid Of cheap labor. Al
though these figures may appear low,
yet, compared with the Eastern labor
prices, they would be found high. Both
Indiana and Kentucky pay labor better
than the East and Indiana pays better
than Kentucky.
There might be several causes for this,
as The presence OF the negro. His un-
skilled labor necessarily affects all prices
in what he can work in-as in saw mills,
distilleries, -four mills and many other
branches of industry. This in 8 meas
ure impairs the advantage of cheaper la
Dor to which we referred, but still we
ought not to lose sight Of IL. The manu-
facturers here know this, that they have
q margin Of increase which they Can pay
to labor, to raise cur prices even 10 those
OF Indiana. We can throw out addi-
tlonal inducements by such increase.
To the unref efiecting laborer these fig
ures would be encouraging, and uBinyi-
ting. he would not be apt to seek Ken.
tueky, which paid labor ten per cent.
less than Indiana. No doubt this diff
ference has had its effect in peopling
cur sister State more rapidly, and yet II
is superficial When the wages Of the
laborer In Kentucky are found lower
than in Indiana, there is usually q COM
pensstion in the market OF necessaries
being proportipnally cheaper in the for
mer. At ali events, this fact Is proved
by the census and the figures we have
hitherto shown, that there is less power
ty In Kentucky than Indiana. The Pc
culisrity Of the character of our labor,
when the census was taken, no doubt
has much TO do with this result, yet it
does not debar us from Rdducing 1t as a
proof that the comparatively lOl0er wa.
ges Of Kentucky are actually, in the con-
dihop Of living, etc, in the two States,
better compensation than the wages
in Indiana. s|1 '-f
We have pursued these figures rather
for suggestive purposes than elaborate
review. The condition Of our n1anufac-
lures, their profits, lsborers, cost and ex-
penses are matters OF interest to all. SO
also are the wages Of our skilled work
men, and their comparative stand with
our sister State. At some future time
We may pursue the investigation fur
ther, but now We leave the thread In our
readers hands for his own guidance in
the labyrinth of the census.

dinates, but ingeniously takes every sue
Gees of theirs as the source and susie
nance of his own greatness.
Napoleon L had Marshals whom some
critics have thought superior 10 himself
in military genius; but he understood
that so long as he was the central histori-
cal figure, history and the common opin-
Ion of mankind would naturally and log
ically refer their successes to himself, and
bestow upon him the browning glory.
This, indeed, Is the true art of the great
man-the true art of utilizing those
around him, on the principle that the
successes of his subordinates eventually
recur to himself as the center, magni-
fyfng him and filling up the measure of
his fame, rather than the weak, jealous
attempt of self-assertion, which drives
from itself all necessary aid and counsel,
and choosing q marked eminence, finds
only 8 vanishing point. Such was the
attempt of Jefferson Davis; and it
showed the essential weakness Of a little
mind. He descended to competition
with his lieutenents, instead of exciting
among them generous rivalry to serve
his own central and crowning fame; and
so weak was bis vanity that 1t might be
disturbed by the successes Of his smallest
subordinates.
But we are not going through with an
analysis OF Mr.. Davis character. In this
reference to his administration we have
merely designed to appropriate for him
q single characteristic, which we think
stands simple and unfailing test be-
tween greatness and meanress, and in
which Mr.. Davis divulged that trait of
seIfishness which has naturally run into
the last infamy of selling out the honors
of the Confedsraey on his personal ac-
count to q mercantile house in Liver
pool What a fall

The Louisville Democrat Of Sunday
publishes q tabular statement of the
most important manufactures in Ken
tucky, with the sums made according to
the capital Invested and labor employed.
Selecting from them the most important,
we desire, says that journal, to show
what is the amount cleared upon invest
ments of this character usually in Ken
lucky. Te do this, we take the interest
on the investment, and add to il the cost
OF the raw material and labor, which
goes in the gross expense. SubtFacting
this from the annual value Of the product,
we see what is cleared. Persons inter-
ested in any particular branch that has
been omitted from our table can figure

1t will be seen that coal does not ad-
NIT of six per cent. on the original in
vestment in this State by SS0l4. In
making these calculations, we have set
down six per cent, or the value OF the
money, not TO be counted as part of
the profits of the manufacture, since the
money loaned at interest would bring
that. There are several reasons for this
loss on coal. First, the price Of the coal
land is put over its actual value sec
Ondly, the figures may be erroneous.
