AYANKEK In THE NEW YORK SEwxRs.-
"Wednesday morning, in the dim light of open

cased in rubber boots with high leggings, rub

and carrying a capacious and well-flled car

WoMAN'S WAGES.-It is areasonable prop
osition that women should receive the same
wages as men for doing the same work. One
reason why they do not is that, as rule,
their work is but q temporary expedient-
As writer has said: "When young man
chooses profession or trade, he generally
concludes to make it the business of his life.
Ii he would succeed he must FIX his,mind up
on it, and he must tegin early to qualify. If
he would be a mechanic he must first learn a
trade. This will take three or four years of
his life, and still he will have much to learn.
He must continue at the trade, and apply
himself closely to it'll he would succeed. Hay-
ing acquired this trade he is inaepena-He.-
mas soPstbng OF Mnlea ne can
dom over ABUNDANT. and thew can always
make good living. How naany women are
there willing to do as men do in thiarespect2
There is nothingt to prevent them from en-
Itering the broad field OF labor, on an equal
footing with men, ii they are disposed to
make business the object of their lives. Men
who commence life Without such an object
fail. In this respect women can not expect
to fare better than men"
Just where a man sets out to make his
trade the business of his life, woman re-
CARDS it only as a resource for time. Both
of them think of matrim0ny as q probable
event in their lives. The one makes his
trade or occupation means or plea for his
ability to change his relations. The other
proposes as matter of course, to abandon
her occupation the moment marriage is as
sured. 1t is for this reason, among others,
that she makes her business only means
and makeshift, that woman's wages are
kept at so low figure.

CURIOUS SUPERSTITION IN INDIANA
George Todd and his wife having been found
murdered in Lebanon, Boone County. Indi-
ana, on the 11th Of March and all efforts to
discover the murderer having proved un-
availing, method of detection was resorted
to which was formerly in vogue in unciviliz-
ed communities but seems strange enough
nov. A correspondent says:
The corpses of the murdered couple had
been ordered to be disinterred that the physi-
clans might once more examine the injuries
which had resulted in their death. The post
mortem examination was to take place in the
church at Lebanon, where the two corpses
were laid on large table. Before the physi-
clans had had time to enter upon their task,
large concourse of people comprising all the
persons living in the vicinity of the Todd
farm, filled the church; eight old men, who
were to act as judges on this occasion, seated
themselves at the table, and then the ordeal
commenced. The crowd, numbering upward
OF ZOO persons, moved slowly and with pro-
found silence past the tablo; every one. in
passing, laid his hand ON the two cold and
stiff corpses, 1t being believed that, If the un-
known murderer should touch the remains of
his victims, their wounds would Immediately
commence bleeding again. There is no need
for me to add that no such thing took place,
and that, when all of the Lebanonites had
laid their hands on the corpses, they knew
no more than they did before as to who as
sassinated the Todds.

An Important Law.

The following, having passed
both Houses of the Legislature, is
now a law:
SEC. l. Be it enacted by the
General Assembly of the State of
Tennessee, that it shall not be
lawful for any person that shall be
sued for work and labor done to
have a stay Of execution on any
judgment rendered therefor un-
der twenty-five dollars; but in all
such cases it shall be lawful for
the tribunal rendering such judg-
ment to issue execution thereon
at any moment thereafter: Pro
vided, that the phrase work and
labor done, in the first section of
this act shall be so constructed as
to mean and apply only to daily
laborers, mechanics and house
servants.
SEC. 2. Be it further enacted,
That no property in the hands of
any debtor shall be exempt from
execution for the satisfaction of
any judgment rendered under the
first section of this act, and all

hereby repealed. This act to take

Let us have Peace.

Having now become a perma-

our past experience teaches us
that large sales and small profits
are better than small sales and

the patronage that has been SO
literally extended to US, and
would warn our friends and Gus
toners not to be humbugged with
the idea that because we sell goods
cheaper than others, that they are
Of inferior quality. We challenge

then sell from ten to fifteen per
