How working Women are being
Crowded out.
From the Revolution.l
The Times says that there are half q
dozen dressmaking establishments In
New York where the sewing upon dress
es is almost entirely performed by men,
although they are not visible to the ladies
who call to give their orders. In the sec
ond STORY are big, bushy-headed Hunga-
rians. Austrians and Poles, sewing with
great rapidity ON fabrics of many hues
and textures.
They earn by the piece from $22 to 1872
per week, and as high as $50 by working
over hours at % cents per hour. The
cutter is a man at $25 per week.
They vary in age from twenty-five to
sixty, and have all served an apprentice
ship in their several native countries.
In the same establishment are girls
employed on machines, who earn from
80 to $l2 per week.
Each bastes his dress and prepares it
for fitting; and, when fitted, finishes it
with rapidly at all points. Two dozen
women are often found upon dress,
working piece-meal at its different parts.
Women, from a want of training, are
rarely perfect. Some excel in one or
two departments, and are deficient in
others. The prices obtained by
the men for making dress vary with
the material. A figured organdie was
shown, finished in day and quarter,
with hens, bands, trimming of waist and
drapery, high in the neck.

ground which contains dry bone, black
lack. lead ore, &C., which gives employ
ment to large number of miners, washers
&C., that by the increase of inhabitants in
the town there is need of additional schools
and teachers to educate the children Of
those employed in the works, but the
wealth of these mines must not be assessed
in the same township where it is dug from
the earth, washed and prepared for market.
The reason given is that the owner hap
pens to live in another town, so the in
dustrious farmer and mechanic must be
taxed to build school houses, pay teachers
wages, &C., for the purpose OF educating
the children of those employed in the
mines. If mineral he personal property
and if be just to tax all property, 1t APP
pears to be just that towns and school
districts should have the benefit OF taxes
derived from all property which is
located in the same. If not taxed by the
local assessor at the proper time and place,
there is the uncertainty Of it being assess
ed at all. Hence the complaint of some
properly being taxed while other property
escapes taxation. Minerals not being in
cluded in Section 20, together with other
articles of personal property to be taxed
where located, | think is an oversight
which can be easily remedied.

from all quarters. praying for the abolition
of the Frapking privilege. Those who are
not authorized to exercise that privilege
cannot be b~nefitted by the move, while
those who are authorized, are the ones
who have control of it and it is not pro-
bable they will forego any great number OF

FRIEND WRGGLEswoRTH.- While our
legislators are in session through your
columns, I wish to call their attention to
the assessment law, Sec. 20, on personal
property.
In the assessment of personal property.
came to large quantity of mineral in
its crude state, ard | was told that had
no right to assess it, the reason given was
that the owners lived in another township
and that it would be given in there. 1
examined the law and found that minerals
were not included with the articles of per
sonal property, to be assessed where
located. also wrote to lion. L. Allen,
Secretary of State, on the question, he
referred the case to the Attorney General,
hut did not get the attorneys decision
on The question, SO | wrote again to the
Secretary of State and he kindly returned
an answer, saying that it was his opinion
that mineral was personal property, and
that it should be assessed in the town
where the owner resides, as it was not in
claded in section 20, and that he thought
the attorney would favor the opinion.
conceive that all law should be based on
reason, but confess that cannot discern
any reason in one township being beae-
flied by the products of another, when
the article for taxation is located in the
towE where it is raised or produced.

Wisconsin Senators.


An occasional correspondent of the New
York Tribune has been writing of the
prominent members of the two houses o.
Congress, and here is his portrait of the
two Senator'S from this State;
Mr.. Carpenter and Mr.. Salisbury, boil
large. strong Lnen, have both peculiar,
restless manner. and walk pertnaciou>l,
and seui-circularly, with their hands i
their pockets. Mr.. Carpenter, with hi
coat buttoned tightly about him. as though
holding himself in with considerable diff
culty-Mr. Salisbury occasionally growl
ing out sc0rnful or humorous remarks OF,
republican legislation. The power in both
these gentlemen seems to be in an active
state of fermentation. Indeed, there is in
these three Senators, Yates, Carpenter, and
Salisbury, ability, energy, and eloquence
enough unused and unhusbanded not
tied up in bnnslles. but lying about h use"
to run respectable legislature.
IB strong contrast to MIR. Carpenter is
Wisconsin's other Senator, quiet and easy
untimcly winter on his head, but pcrpetusl
summer in his face. Always faithful and
tireless in duty is Mr.. Howe but. talking
little, and that temperately and to tn,
point, as though the charge of his noble
state had been, 20, Timothy, keep that
which is committed to thy trust, avoiding
