Women i'll the Harvest
FfnhI
[From the Woman's Jo,irnall


[Froin the Womm's Journall '
The Chicago Post laughs at
the New York Tribune for
boosting vain-gloriouSly 'ovel
one girl in Pennsylvania, who,
with moving machine, has
cut nearly a hundred acres of
grass, wheat, oats, ETC., this
season." So did we, when read
ing it, for we looked over our
last fifteen years Of life in the
West, and remembered how all
house keepers are there desert
ed by their kitchen help as
soon as the mighty Western
haying and harvesting begins.
You may bargain with a girl
when hiring her that she shall
not desert you in the harvest
season, and give her larger wa,
ges in consideration of such
stipulation-but when harvest.
ing comes - a day at outdoor
work is so much more tempt.
ing that 81 a week over a de.
mon of a cook.stove, that the
contract is ignored, and your
"help" takes to herself legs and
walks away, We write from
sorrowful reflection. The Post
says:
In Wisconsin, at this mo-
ment, there are probably not
fewer than 10000 women at
work in the field. They are
not only Germans, Irish, and
Scandinavians, but Yankees;
not only the poor, but thous-
ands Of the fair and intelligent
and middle classes. When the
pinch comes, it is a common
thing for girls to hang up the
rolling-pin, shut up the piano,
and go to the fields and help
their fathers out. They ride
the reaper as skillfully as any
man; they rake and bind dex-
terously; they direct the cult.
vator; they run the threshing-
mechine; they pitch bundles;
in extreme need, they even
give their arms and ingenuity
to that bucolic architecture,
building the load and stack.
We know a blue,eyed girl in
Central Wisconsin, who, last
season, sheared forty sheep in
a day, and received 81 for it.
1t was not 50 uncommon as to
excite any special interest in
the neigh borhood.'
Why thousands and thous,
ands Of city women will per-
sist in starving in cellers and
garrets, losing both soul and
body in trying to keep them
together on the scanty wages
earned by sewing, when there
is bread enough and to spare
in the broad and plentiful West,
is past our comprehension. Last
winter we were entreated by
farmers and farmers wives, in
Central Illinois, to send them
200 women, who would be will
ing to work indoors OF out,
with the other women of the
household, according as the
season and circumstances de-
and to whom the lar
gest wages were promised, and
a home where they would stand
on an equal footing with all
the other members. We could
not find them. we were born
here-so were our fathers and
mothers-they lived and died
here-and SO will we.' That
was the answer we received
from sewing-women to whom
we applied, and we were com,
PEELED to give up the search
There is nothing degrading
in outdoor work for women,
nothing unwomanly. Nor is
it SO exhausting, so destructive
to health as the everlasting

WASHINGTON GOSSIP.

WASHINGTON, May l0.-The commit
tee this morning considered the Georgia
bill. 1t was proposed to report to
the House the bill as originally
introduced in that body, which was
similar to the bill admitting Virginia to
representation, with an amendment pro-
viding for the employment Of a militia
instead of regular military force, in
case it was necessary for the preserva-
ton of peace and the enforcement of
the laws. This amendment is
in lien Of the Senate substitute
instead of fixing the time of
election for members Of the Legislature
as that substitute, and in Bingham S
amendment The question of the term
of officers is to he left to judicial deci
sion. The committee has arrived at no
definite conclusion. The consideration
of the subject will be resumed Thurs
dav.
The committee on Wavs and Means
are considering the Internal Revenue
bill which will soon be reported TO the
House. The Funding bill may be re-
garded as virtually dead.
The customary Tuesday afternoon re-
ception at the White House was brill
liantly attended.
