A Word TO WOmpn.

The following is clipped from the Laws
of Life: Every few ladies know how to
appreciate an easy, healthful dress. They
think their dresses are loose, when a man
or boy put into one as tight would gasp for
breath, and feel incapable of putting forth
any effort except to break the bands La
dies are so. accustomed to the tight fits of
dressmakers. that they fall all to pieces
when relieved of them. They associate
the loose dress with the bed or lounge. To
be up, they must be stayed up, and to r.
commend comfortable dress to them is
not to meet a conscious want OF eirs. 1t
is great pity none the less. II they could
once know what luxury it is to breathe
deep and full at each respiration,
to feel the refreshment which the sys-
tenn takes on by having the blood
enlivened and sent bounding through the
arteries and veins, to have the aids to di-
gestion which such process give, to have
their own strong elastic muscles keep every
organ in place and themselves erect; il
they could for good while know this
blessed luxury, and then be sent back into
the old, stiff, straight jackets, they would
fume. and fret and rave in very desperation
if they could not get rid of them. As it is,
they prefer to langush and suffrr dreadful
lv, and die young, and leave all of then
friends, and their husbands and their little
children, and l do not see any other way
but to let them be sick and die till they are
satisfied If only the sinner was the suf
ferer, it would not be so worth while
to make a great ado about it, but the
blighting of future innocent lives which
must follow renders the false habits of oul
women in the highest degree criminal

From the Cincinnati Commercial, 18Th.
\ GERMAN peddler by the name Of Geo.
Seel, who lived at No. 44S Race street died
about 7 o'clock yesterday morning from
the effects OF peculiar mode of medical
treatment, advised by d man of the name
OF Otto Asehenborn, who had rec antlv been
employed as porter at Loewen Garden and
VINO professed to know all about the DIS
ease whlch he undertook to cure It ap-
peared that Aschenborn called upon Seel at
MS house' on Monday afternoon, and en-
ga9ed TO cure him of rheumatism, with
which he had been afflicted for several wears
in the brief space of "a hours nroyided
he followed his directions. His SOW
ereign remedy for the ma1adv
which he proposed attacking, was hot wa
ter, medlcated with compound whose in
gredlents were known only to himself The
patient was to take forty-one pints of this
medlclne-a pint every three minutes. Mr..
Steel, thinking only Of the bright prospect
before him of a speedy return to health.
readily complied with all the conditions
imposed upon him, and Immediately gave
his wife instructions to have his hot drink
prepared. The first pint was administered
at o'clock. 1t was followed by twenty
eight others IN quick succession, Aschen-
born himself giving the first eleven. Of
course uauSeaf6Sulbod from this rank abuse
of the stomach, and when the twenty-nintb
pint had been disposed of the water-lopqed
patient commenced vomiting, and could
take no more. The unfortunate man con-
tinued vomiting through the night, and in
the morning died of sheer exhaustion.
Suspicion was at once aroused that he
had been poisoned The neighbors be-
came violently excited over the affair, and
Aschenborn was sought for in all direc-
tions. Learning that his man was dead.
and fearing that he would be held account
able for his death, the pretended physician
started for Kentucky. He was followed to
the river, however, and there arrested bv
officer Taylor, who took him to Hammond
Street Station house on the charge of sus-
picion, .s.s.r
Coroner Betscher held an inquest on the
deceased in the afternoon, when testimony
was elected that warranted the above state
ment of facts.
Aschenborn, in the course of his exam
ination, stated that he gave the deceased
nothing but hot water; that the two phials
which he left contained nothing but we'll
water. He admitted that he knew nothing
about medicine, and claimed that he in
formed Seel when he first saw him that he
was not physician. He has been in the
city about five weeks, and in the county
since last April. ID
Seel was thirty-five years of age, and
leaves, family of five children. The in
quest will be held to-day.

WoMEN's WAGES IN New YORK. Here are
some notes from the ''short and simple an
nails of the poor" in this city, enough to
give one the heartache to read: Mrs. A
makes vests at eighteen cents apiece for a
wholesale house. She can earn So a month
by working fourteen hours day, including
Sundays. She pays SO month for her
attic, and has two small children to sup
port. She has eaten meat once only-and
then 1T was given to her-since Thanks
giving Day. Another case: Kate A, ''fin
lsher" of fine shirts. makes about 50 a
week, working hard for it. She has a grand.
mother to support, and has often '1ived foI
weeks on bread and water, in order to af-
ford the old woman broth every day" The
Star, which is enabled to describe these
cases from the diary of lady who has visit
ed them, gives still more painful instance
eff the hardships caused by scarcity of en-
ployment or inadequate wages. And yet
we have been assured that in this city there
is no necessity to organize societies for the
relief OF dlstress-while well-meaning ladies
are at loss to know how to do any good IL

HE EMPRESS OF JAPAN ON THE ROAD
An interesting procession recently passed
along the Tokaido, or high road between
Kioto (the old residence of the Mikado of
Japan) and Yeddo, the Government city.
The Empress, seventeen years old, was on
her way to join her lGrd at the eastern capi-
tai, The arrangements made along the
road were similar to those made when the
Mikado himself passed. The rough places
had been made SMOOTH and the upper
stories OF the houses were al closed and
the windows sealed, so that o curious eye
might look upon the illustrioas lady from
above. A place had been set apart for for
eigners, to which all might go and view the
procession, and of which many availed
themselves The japanese multitude as
sembled along the road, and occupied both
sides of it long before the Empress arrived.
NEW MATERIAL FOR SPECTACLEs. Es.-Mica,
for spectacles, is rapidly coming into use
for workmen exposed to the heat and glare
Of iron furnaces. Complete masks Of this
material, and even cylinders surrounding
the entire head, have been made so as to
form more perfect defence. It has been
attempted to give blue tinge to the spec
tacles, by applying the coloring matter di-
rectly to the surface of the mica, but this
expedient failed. Another plan has been
more successful; this plan consists in in
terposing a plate of transparent blue gela-
tine between two layers of the mica

An ELOQUENT s. ssTramD. ,,

A dramatic story is told by the Pail Mall
Gazette. A tramp" recently walked into
a shop in Bridport, England, and quietly
appropriated piece of plum-cake. When
arraigned before the magistrate. he explain
ed his conduct, and his theory of life, III
the simplest possible terms. I'm not go
ing to starve IN a Christian land" he said,
with admirable frankness, ''it amt likely |
am. If a man goes 10 the union, he has
given him about five ounces of bread and a
little water Cruel 1 ask you, gentlemen,
if that is enough to support hearty man?'
1t is not enough for a child. And, besides,
man is slowed away in filth and dirt like
a beast. I would prefer to spend the re-
mainder of my days in transportation, or
would rather suffer death, than submit to
it.
1t occurred to the magistrate to ask this
eloquent tramp why, being healthy and
strong man, he did not try to get work To
this question he had logical answer ready.
Work r he exclaimed, 'If poor man
manages to earn SIS. or los. week in the
summer time he is expected to keep him
self all the year through, when we well
know that some individuals spend more
than that in day." The whole sentiment
of pauperism- was never expressed in a
smaller compass.
