Paris working.women.

Bad as Paris is, there are 200, 1000 wo-
men in that city who strive to gain liv-
ing by honest exertion. None of them
get wages equal to the wages paid to the
commonest servant girl in this country.
OF these women about 60, 900 employ the
needle. The average pay they receive
is thirty cents per day, while some re-
ceive as high as forty cents, but the ma
jority no more than twelve. The last sta
tistical statement shows the following
condition of wOrkingwomen's affairs:
"The modistes, OF dressmakers, gained
thirty-eight cents; the embrqideFeFs thir-
ty.two, and the simple seamstresses thir-
IL; girls who worked in the shops of cos
tuners, and the umbrella-makers, thirty
also. The great number of women en-
ployed in making army uniforms only
receive twenty-five cents; the stltchers Of
gloves twenty-five, and lace and decora-
ton work, strange TO say, only paid the
unhappy creatures who handled il from
sunrise to nine a'elook nineteen cents
Per day.
Since this CALCULATION was made the
pay Of ordinary seamstresses has been
reduced Every article Of toilet made in
France represents some ruined life, some
wasted heart, some fettered soul. There
is only one instance in Paris where wo.
men have escaped this tyranny Of cspi-
tai BY cooperation.

). Pig sticking " i'm India.

The London Telegraph, in discoursing
upon royal sports in India, observes thai
fox-hunting has had its bards, who have
.embalmed the recollection of many a
famous run in rhymes that delight the
Quorn and Pytchley; but, if the gray
boar" were chased in the glades of
England, Mr.. Freeman would have been
an NJ. +. H., and the poet Laureate
would have composed hunting songs Ia
honor of that mighty quarry The weak
points of fox hunting are, that the astute
little beast which affords so much pleas
ure to his parsuers is artifcially pre-
served, and that his strength and oup-
ming seem so very much out of proper
tion to the elaborate and overwhelming
array of men, horses and hounds
assembled for his destruction II is not
so with "pig Sticking for the wild boar
is an inveterate aud formidable plum
derer, who grabs up the dinao9's sugar
cane and rice. 1t Is q most useful deed,
therefore, to ride him down; but TO do it
needs besides steady horse and sure
hand, manhood and courage; and the
odds are not so much against the Pig
as to leave the pursuit without its eie-
ment of fair play. The fox has nothing
on which to rely but his speed and his
stratagem-he is powerless at close
quarters; but, like japanese Daimio,
the old boar carries a couple of seine
ters. and he knows how to use them with
deadly effect npon horse or man. Woe
to the rash hunter who comes within
reach of those crooked ivory knigesl
"If thou be hurt with horn or hart,
saws the old ballad, a barber may thee
saye;n but it adds, ominously, " If thou
be gashed with tusk of boar, il brings
thee to thy grave" Those who know
the nature and power of the various
jungle beasts, hold the charge Of the
wild boar worse than that of a tiger:
Your tiger is, no doubt, "a fearful wild
fowl" but he will often turn In mid
onset from shot, and once past
the hunter he seldom comes back
again. When the boar makes up
his mind to fight, however, it is like
the Old Guard at Waterloo. DE
comes on with short, angry grunts, saout
down. and bristles erect, and neither
knife nor spear can easily stop him.
Moreover, be has horrible instinct
where to find the soft parts Of his enemy,
and one of his oblique upper-cuts in
the groin gives the surgeon work that is
too likely to end with a job for the
undertaken. Nor need it be forgotten,
in a comparison offoK-hunting with pig
sticking, that Reynsrd is good for moth
ing when he is dead, whereas your wild
boar in the right season furnishes some
noble dishes to the sylvan board. CdpW
dbri is lauded in the old Christmas
chant; and a ham of the accursed
beast" properly dressed with sauce
piguanf is, as Sir John Falstaff said Of
Dame Quickly, "a thing to thank God
upon.

The Cat under the Meal

There is. it is alleged, a paid-up fund of
s5o,OOo-which can be multiplied tenfold il ne
eessary-to secure the passage of a little bin
introduced in Congress last week. The bill in
question merely proposes to grant appeals from,
and authorizes the issue of writs OF error to- the
supreme Court of the District of Columbia in,
certain cases, and provides that when anv bodv
corporate shall think itself aggrieved nv am
nnal Judgment or sentence of the Sunrem,
Court OF the District, whereby said body eorpo-
rate shall be adjudged sentenced TO be de-
Prived of any right, property, or franchise. or
10 pay any sum of money not less than 81 90,
and shall desire that the Judgment shall be re-
viewed upon a writ of error to the Supreme
court OF the United States, such corporation
may prosecute writ Of error in like manner as
Is now provided by law in reference to other.
hnal judgments, orders, or DEGREES of said court
Ihls document seems harmless enough ON
its face, and hardly worth the very rasns.ta-
bic figures named above; but il is CHARGED ana
with good show OF reason, that il was gotten
up Tor the sole purpose OF enabling the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad Company to circumvent
and defeat the municipal authorities of Wash
Ington in the contest which has been waged for
some time past in regard to obstructing the
streets of the city, by giving to the gigantic
monopoly named such warrant for holding its
present position may result from the laws
delays for ten or dozen years TO come. This
being thus, the progress Of the measure through
Congress VIII ,: watched with good deal Of in
tefest, a. well by the public at large as by the
eOnfederates Of the corporation in whose lister
est it is being pushed. And If il passes, there
viii be a field for investigating committees,
which IN point, breadth, depth and richness
wOuldPut the wretchedlittle cadetship business
completely in the shade.
Meanwhile, we trust Mayor Bowen will have
his armOr on and his battle axe in hand. He
has made so good fight in the case so far that
NJ would be shameful If he should now be de-
feated by the ehicanery of his old enemy, aided
by a few pretended friends who have heretofore
fattened BY his bounty. As the time within
which the decree Of the Supreme Court OF the
District Is to be enforced against the Railway
Company expires with the 3lst inst, the bill
must be passed by or before that date to answer
the main purpose for which it was proposed.
There is, therefore, little or no time to be lost
Blows must fall thick and fast within few DAYS
to be Of any avail on either side.

Daylight Breaking I'm Maryland,

~ rhEs f-AlLhOAO LAW fkofOsED
Ii would be almost too much to expect that
the State OF Maryland would be able to release
itself from the thrAldom of railroad monopoly
at a single effort, but il is encouraging sign
that a Free Railroad Law IL now being urged be-
fore the General Assembly of that State. The
bin was introduced by Mr.. Marbury, of Prince
Georges, chairman of the House Committee on
Internal Improvements. The provisions of thu
act are similar TO those OF the General Railroad
law Of Ohio, with the exception of those relating
to the condemnation of land, which correspond
to the General Law Of Maryland relating to
condemnation. Any number of persons not less
than i've, three OF whom shall be citizens of
Maryland may become body corporate for the
purpose of constructing a railroad. Section
thirteen provides that any company incorpo-
rated under this act may demand and receive
for the transportation of passengers not exceed
ing three cents per mile. and for freight not ex-
ceeding five cents per ton per mile when the
same is transported over thirty miles, and not
exceeding six cents per ton per mile when trans
ported distance less than thirty miles.
On Saturday the bill came up in the House of
Delegates as the special order of the day. and an
attempt WAS made to postpone it, but the House
refused TO do so, and proceeded to its considera-
ion- An amendment was, however, adopted, in
the interests we should say of those who wish to
NAAPPtC VIC PIONtulng 'tndt railroad
company shall be allowed to pass through the
city of Baltimore without the consent of the
municipal authorities" Ii was also amended
by making the shares Of the capital stock sub
Ject TO taxation as other personal property
Also by striking out the provision for Ia king into
consideration the advantages to accrue to the
owners Of lands as a set-off to damages In other
words il was so amended that the jury i'm the
case of the condemnation of lands shall be con-
fined to the inquiry, "What damage will the
owner sustain" The advantage that miyht
accrue not proper subject of inquiry for a
Jury-it was held by the county members who
sustained the amendment, and who appeared to
be catering TO the greedy feeling of the land
holders on the lines of proposed railroads. and
which has done so much to cripple railroad en-
teTprises in Maryland.
The subject comes up in the Assembly again
to-day upon proposition to compel the compa-
nies Incorporated under the bill to assume the
entire expense OF fencing their lines of road.
although II was conclusivcly shown in the debate
thatit Is the universal custom of juries to take
into consideration the cost of fencing along the
line OF track, and to allow the landowners such
damages as would keep up a perpetual fence
On the whole we fear that il the bill gets
through the Legislature at all il will be so
amended" as to be a "Free Railroad Law

The people of the District of Columbia are
earnestly calling upon Congress to give them =
territorial government They say the visitors
to Washington complain of the state of the streets
anu the absence OF many of the conyeniences
which are found in other cities; but the tax nav
er. mere have not fair chance. The old Mary
iahd laws are In force, most of which are obso-
lete IN Maryland; Congress has too much to do in
attending to the public business to give any At
,entloh to local matters. Authority is divided
between the government and the municipality
III they undertake to build a market or to i'm

duee the cost OF paving and the amount of mud

OF Congress. They want acts Of incorporation
and thousand other things; and they think il
they had a territorial legislature it would help
them greatly.
1t is to be hoped that Congress will find time
10 pass some bill on the subject; and that what
ever they do will be decisive. The Officers of
