President Grant sent in th,

Cabinet officers, last Friday
and they we're promptly con

Secrstary Of State--E, B

Attorney Gsneral-.E. B

Secretary Of Navy--Adolph

No Secretary of War ramed,
The gentlemen named are
all sound Republicans, prac.
tical men, who have no polite.
al friends to reward or enc.
mics to punish. Like Grant,
they commence their duties
'untrammeled, and We may look
for an honest, vigorous admin
istration.
The selection Of Ex Gov.
crnor Cox for Secretary Of In
terror is an appointment
which will give general salts.
faction to the people of our
State. While political cliques
were urging other persons for
selfish reasons, General Grant
has Selected,a gentleman in
whose ability and integrity our
people have unbounded conf.
dence.
1t is to be regretted that A. 7.
Stewart is unable to accept
his position in consequence
Of a Law passed in 1889, which
the President, and the Senate,
as we'll as the Attorney Cen
eral seem to have overlooked. |

in the country who know how

money and business as passes
through the United States
Treasury. 1t is believed that
Boutwell, or Commissioner

position in case Congress fails
to remove the disability.

river should be chosen, the Vir-
gina road would be reached at
Scary Greek, a distance of be.
tween forty and fifty miles from
the Ohio River.
The IrontOn route is, OF
course, ont of the question, as
no one would entertain, for a
moment, the idea of attempt.
ing to reach the Kanawha val.
ley, from any point north Of
this Via ofIronton. If they did
it would be upon the ssSump>
tion "that the longest way
round is the shortest way
home" Whatever boys may
do, men do not build railroads
upon any such theory.
The second route discussed
-"from Athens to Pomeroy,
thence to Letart," &c.-we
consider likewise impractical.
BILE. The character of the
country will not admit of it.
Mr.. Graves when surveying our
route to, Hamden, two years
since, took look at the topo-
graphy of that section and pro-
nounced any scheme for a rail-
road from any point on the
Kanawha to any point on the
Ohio above the mouth Of the
Kanawha, as wholly imprac-
ticable.
The other two outes-either
down the Ohio River to the
OF the Kanawha, or
from Hamden to the same
point-are the only practicable
ones that were discussed. One
If these, in our opinion if this
great enterprise is to be sue
,essful must be adopted.
The above correspondent is
lot well informed in regard to
distances. The distance from
'cary creek to the mouth Of
he Kanaw ha is S6 miles; from
lere to Hamden, 81 miles.
The same CORE respondent
dds this item to his his letter.
At a meeting of the commit.
ee at the American House, on
he evening following the Con-
'ention, long session was
leld, and these various routes
we're considerably discussed.
1t the close there was an exs
cutve committee of three ap.
consisting of Hon II.

SOME cuRlcJs FACTS.


From careful observation of the field in
" whlch women labor, the following facts are
adduced: srgr
l. There are very few women engaged in
any occupation aside from needlewOrk over
twenty-five years of age; the age of the
majority does not average eighteen years.
Girls generally Commence work when they
reach the age of fourteen, and nire out OF
ten. as soon as they become skilled and ex-
per1enced hands-in spite fMisS ANTHONY s
teachings and to their employers di-gust-
get married. and ever after work only in
their own households. Thus. few thorough,
experienced and valuable workers can be
found among women in any trade. New
and young hands are constantly coming into
the workshop, and the older and experienced
are departing. This fact not only prevents
many mar ufacturers and Professional men
from employing female labor at amy price,
but ten IS to keep the wages of the girls at a
low hgure. Several engravers attempted TO
employ female labor. The business is one
peculiarly adapted TO woman, in which fan
ey can be INDUCED, and in which deXterity
of hand Is required. Apprentices were
taken, and much time and trouble were eX-
pended in imparting practical knowledge
of the art to the fair ones. The apprentices
made first-rate engravers in about three
years, and the fact that they were not re-
ceiViBg so nigh rate of wages as paid the
males caused them TO be looked upon bv
trouble occurred among the engr2vers-the
girls were carried off by some ardent de-
signers. just as the fair ones were getting
useful as engraVers.
1t i a palpable and an acknowledged fact
that few mature women are engaged iii any
manufacturing business. The old women
make cheap shirts and pants and do "slop''
work. but only young women set type,
weave cloth, and do other kinds of work re-
quiring eX perience and ability.
2. There is very little suffering known
among the young women who have mastered
some useful calling. No complaints come
from them in relation to ''soulless and fraud
ulent employers and starvation wages -
They are not well paid, but they receive
sufficient to live upon.
3. Women that are in needy circumstances
ma IL dlfhcult to procure employment on
account of their own untitness to do any
thing useful, rather than on account of the
narrowness of the field of labor open to
them. Not one in two hundred women
thrown upon their own resources, can do
anything but the plainest kind of needle
work; not one in fifty is even superior
needlewoman. The number of applicants
for plain sewing is immense, and to this fact
is owing the miserable piItance offered sew
ingwomen for their work.
4. There is always plenty of work for
women as house-servants at places where
they would be well fed. well paid and well
treated, but American women are too proud
to occupy such menial position.-New
York Times.

Land OccupIed by Fences.

The materials and labor required to build
and keep fences in repair are among the
heavy items of farm expense. The cost OF
the land on which they stand is another
item, on which j. Harris, Of Rochester dis
COURSES as follows in the American Agri-
culturist:
How much land does an old fashioned
fence occupy? l have always thought il
took up good deal of land, but never had
the curiosity TO measure. But this summer
we have been building a stone wall along
the whole west side OF the farm. and, after
it was completed, and the old fence removed
was surprised at the quantity OF land we
had gained The ground, of course, might
have been ploughed closer to the fence; but,
taking the case as iC actually was, the old
rail-fence, with stones weeds, rubbish &c,
occupied strip OF one rod wide. 4 field
thirty-ore rods long and thirty-one rods
wide CO ltairs about six acres. If surround
ed by such fence, it would occupy a little
over three quarters of an acre of land. A
farm OF one hundred and sixty acres so
fenced would have twenty acres of land ta-
ken up in this worse than useless manner
Not only is the use of the land lost, but it
is, in the majority of cases, a nursery OF
weeds, and, In plowing much time is lost in
turning, and the headlands ahd corners are
seldom properly cultivated.

George Peabody.

A correspondent of the N. Y. Evening
Republic gives the following facts relative
to the late Geo. Peabody, who died in Lon
don on 4th inst:
He was in his sseventy-ftth year, and was
born in the town of Danvers, Massachusetts,
fourteen miles from Boston, A Door bow he
entered gTocer's shop in Danvers (since
named Peabody in honor of hinl) at the age
Of eleven, where he remained four wears
tie afterwards spent some time with a
brother in Thetford. VT, and with a relative
in Newburyport, Mass, and then went to
Georgetown, ID. c., and entered into busi-
ness with an uncle. In 1914. he withdrew
from the firm, and in connection vi h Elias
Riggs, established a wholesale drv goods
trade. me year following the house OF
Peabody, Riggs q Co, was removed to Bal
timore. and soon enjoyed a large business.
In 1S22 branch houses were established In
New York and Philadelphia. = ="
Mr. Peabody crossed the Atlantic in 1897
for the first time, and ten years later with
drew from the Baltimore firms and became a
permanent resident OF London as a mer-
chant and banker. There his immense for
tune was chiefly acquired, and there he spent
nearly bali OF his lie.
Mr.. Peabody has been chiefly known to
the world Within Twelve years AS the great
giverh TO charitable and educational institu-
tons. In this respect, no man has eQualled
MIN IN either ancient or modern times. The
aggregate of his gifrs to found institutions
aud TO those already founded is upwards of
SF,OOoeeo; besides giving $l.500O00 to his
relatives IN the United States His princi-
pal donations were made to the poor Of Lon
don; to the southern Educational Fund.-
