His wife and mother-in-law support
him by hard labor at the wash tub.
The other daughter has child by a
man who wishes to marry her, but the
old woman says "nO," one husband
in the family is as many as she can
afford to support at her time Of life.
She is willing to take care OF the
daughter and the child, but she will
have nothing to do with the man.
Notwithstanding that the marriage
ceremony is insisted upon strenuously
by the colored people, it is held in
very much dislavor by many OF the
women who find that by the laws Of
the District of Columbia, marriage
gives the husband all the rights over
them which their masters used to
claim to their wages, their person,
children, &c. The colored women,
at least good proportion of them,
seem to appreciate the demand of
certain strong minded women " for
equal rights. The reason Of this may
be that they have all their lives as
slaves been accustomed to equal rights
with their husbands.
The work in the Engraving and
Printing Bureau of the Treasury De

The Government tried waiting the
motion of the Bank Note Company Of
New York, will without doubt, trans

There are sufficient room and ma
chlnery up and in good running order
in the Treasury Building to do all the
work the Government has been get,

AIRY of $4,000 per year is not sufficient
to warrant the services of a compc-
tent Superintendent at the head of
the bureau, let the salary be $4,000, or
cren $1,000, and the Government
would then save - per cent. III hay
