Mess and Women.

A woman, " "Ouida," writes as fol-
lows in a recent novel. Is it not
awful, dear lady readere
= [ suppose I shall be considered
very heterodox if I write a thing
that really believe; but I do be-
lieve it; and it is this-that men are
much softer at heart than women.
Oh, l know men can be hard
enough ; they can swear savagely on
occasions; they can hit mercilessly
when they are minded they can be
like steel Or granite to woman
whom they have ceased to care
about; [ know that. But for all
they are never hard with the chill,
contented, egotistic, lifelong bru-
tality of woman. After me the
deluge w-that is a woman all over.
IF the Pompadour did not say it, she
ought to have done.
Lucretius has said how charming
it is to stand under a shelter after a
storm, and see another hrrrying
through it's rain and wind; but a
woman would refine that sort of cru
city, and would not be quite content
unless she had all umbrella beside
her that she refused to lend.
| get very much out of patience
when hear of the tenderness Of wo-
men; they are only tender just for
themselves and their belongings-as
tigresses and bears are. They
have no notion Of any impersonal
sympathy. Men you can move by a
thousand things-their magma
tions, their affections, their chfval-
ries, their follies, their intelligence,
their perception, what you will.
But a woman can only be moved by
just one thing alone-her own pri-
vate interests.
Women always put me in mind of
that bird of yours, the cuckoo.
Your poetry and your platitudes
have all combined to attach a most
sentimental value to cuckoos and
women; all sorts of pretty fantasies
surround them both the springtide
OF the year, the breath OF early flow
ers, the verse. of old dead poets, the
sweet summer rains, the light of
bright dewy daws-an these things
you have mingled with the thought OF
the cuckoo till its first call through
the woods in April brings all these
memories with it. just so in like
manner have you entangled your pe-
etic ideals, your dreams fpeace and
purity, all diyinities of patience and
of pity, all sweet sanity sacrifice
and sorrow, with your ideas of wo-
men.
Well, cuckoos and women, believe
me, are very much like each other,
and not at all like your fantasy-to
get well-feathered nest without the
trouble Of making it, and to keep
easily in it themselves, no matter
who may turn out in the cold, is

a NEW INVENTION.
A WI schine fhnt will Pick Cot
louisville Courier-.journal.

Louisville Courier-Journal.
The greatest labor and expense
in the production of cotton, the
great staple of the South, are in
volved in the operation Of picking
it from the plant after it is fully
matured. Hundreds of inventors
have puzzled their brains to invent
a substitute for the fingers-to per-
feet a machine that did not vote, go
to circusses, barbecues, ETC., just
when it was needed in the field.
There were so many obstacles to
overcome that one inventor after an
other gave up the task as hopeless,
and the planter was forced to rely
upon the negro and gather his crop
as best he could. But at last the
problem has been solved. A citizen
OF Louisville has the honor of hav-
ing invented a machine which will
pick cotton from the stalk in the
field.
A public test of the invention was
made yesterday in the presence of a
number of practical planters. The
machine consists Of four wheels and
running gear similar to an ordinary
wagon except that all is of iron.
In the centre of the bed is series
of columns of fuller's teasles, an az
ticle used in giving the nap to cloth.
1t is simply the dried head Of plant,
cone shaped, and covered with a
number of sharp curved points.
These teasles are contained i'll a
cylinder Of wire, and entire set are
raised and lowered by means OF pull
leys. The machine is run directly
over the cotton rows, and the frame
containing the columns of teasles
lowered upon the plant. The frame
is raised and the sharp points of the
teasles strip the plant Of all the cot
ton that is full ripe. Leaves, stems
and all ,,llripe cotton are all rejected.
A down motion OF the frame stri ps
the cotton from the frame by a set
Of stationary teasles, and with their
points reverses and deposits it in a
receptacle made for it, from which
it can be taken at pleasure. The
test yesterday was very satisfactory,
and the opinion was expressed by
those present that one OF the small
lest sized machines and two men
would do the work Of thirty expe-
rienced hands. 1t is estimated that
the machines will cost frem 500 to
$1,000, according to size. The ma
chine is very simple in construction,
and is destined to work a great rev
olution in the labor system of the
| South.

The Norfolk Riot.
Especial to the Chicago Tribune


WASHINGTON, November 5.-Full-
er reports from Norfolk, regarding
the late riot there, show that the
whole thing was deliberately plann-
ed, with the view to kill the princi-
pal participants in the Republican
meeting there. Secretary Robson
was assaulted, during his speech, by
sticks and other missiles, which,
however, did him no injury. His re-
marks all through were of a kindly.
and conciliatory character, princi-
pally congratulating the people on
the return of peace, and the prosperi
ty that awaited that war -blighted
section in the near future. The crowd
confined itself to these deInonstra-
tons, until Professor Langston, of
Howard University, commenced to
speak, when the rioters became very
bold, and after calling him all kinds
of insulting names, commenced to
tear the torches and banners from
the hands of their bearers, and to
strike those who held them with va
rious weapons. sss.. "a
One colored man had his head
split open. Five shots were fired at
Professor Langston by a man who
stood up and took deliberate aim
each time. W.J. Hedges, eolored
member Of the constitutional conven-
tion, was shot in the hand and
afterward badly beaten. Two other
eolOred men were shot by the police,
who fred upon the crowd which at
tempted to fee. When the riot com
menced, a white man, and a Repub-
lican, was shot through the neck,
and has since died. Mr.. McCloud,
brother of the Inspector Of Customs,
| was shot in the wrist and arm. John
| T. Daniels, an old citizen of Norfolk.
a prominent business man, also Re,
publican, was shot through the head,
and narrowly escaped death. The
Mayor was absent from the city, and
lin his. absence, the reckless and ir.
responsible urged ON the rioters and
district police TO assist them. Troops
have since been sent from Washing
ton to restare order, and to- be pres
lent at the approaching election.

This compliment Is from the New

Say what yon will about King
William, he at least knows how to
write modest dispatches. There was
never a conquerer less given to what
we Americans vulgarly call "blow-

all characterized by truthfulness
which is quite as rare as their mod
esty. Since the affair at Saarbruck,
he has kept up an incessant tele.
graphing, and reeounted facts ex:
acly as they occurred, without the

For this, if nothing else, he deserves

Northern Tribute 10 the Late
-" Gen, zee.

We select, as most worthy of re-
production from among the obituary
references to the great Virginian in
the New York papers, that whiJh
the Herald prefaces it's sketch of
the life and services Of the mOurned
soldier and citizen:
On a quiet autumn morning, i'll
the land which he loved so well, and,
as he held, served SO faithfully, the
spirit of Robert Edmund Lee left
the clay which he had so much en-
nobled and travelled out of this
world into the great and mysterious
land. Yesterday the expressions OF
| regret which sprang from the few
who surrounded the bedside Of the
dying soldier and Christian will
be swelled to-day into one mighty
voice of sorrow, resounding through
| out cur country and extending
| through all parts Of the world where
his great genius and many virtues
are known. For not to the South
ern people alone shall be limited the
tribute of tear over the dead Vir-
giaian. Here in the North, forget
ting that the time was when the
sword of Robert Edmund Lee was
drawn. against us-forgetting and
forgiving all the years Of bloodshed
and agony-We have long since
ceased to look upon him as the Con-
federate leader. but have claimed
him as ourselves; have cherished
and felt proud of his military genius
| as belonging to us; have recounted
and recorded his triumphs as our own;
/ have extoIled his virtues us refec-
ting honor upon us--for Robert Ed.
mund Lee was an American, and
the great nation which gave him
birth would be to-day unworthy of
such a son if she regarded him
lightly. ..i ...... p
Never had mother nobler son.
In him the military genius of Amer
| ica was developed more than ever
before. In him all that was pure and
lofty in mind and purpose found
flodgment. Dig1lifed without pre-
| sumption, affable without familiarity,
he united all those charms OF man,
ners which made him the idol Of his
! friends and of his soldiers, and won
! for him the respect and admiration
| of the world. Even as, in. the days
of his triumph, glory did not entoxi
Icate,. so when the dark cloud swept
over him adversely did not depress
From the hour that he surrendered
his sword at Appotomax to the fatal
autumn he passed among men noble
in his quiet, simple dignity, display
ing,,neither bitterness nor regret ovel
the irrevocable past. He conquered
| us in misfortune by the grand man
tner in which he sustained himself
even as he dazzled us by his geniu.
when the tramp of his. soldiers re
sounded in the valleys Of Virginia
i And for such a man we are al
/ tears and sorrow to-day. Standing
beside his grave, men OF the Soutf
and men of the North can mourn
with all the bitterness of four year
of warfare erased by this common
d bereavement May. this unity o
