Daily -4drertiser, July 9Th.

In relation to the employment of female
compositors, the printing Gazette" of
Cleveland, Ohio, says that it is often aston
ishing to note with what rapidity time
levels the caprices of men and transforms
the bleak mountains of prejudice into fields
luxuriant with the fruits ofprogressive and
liberal ideas. A few years ago the pres
ence of woman in printing office was an
infiction of the most intolerable sort,
against which the hand of every male
printer was raised as something that
threatened the utter Generalization of the
business There are some yet above earth
who still feel this way, but they are, we
apprehend, few in number, and the tide
sets steadily against them. For example,
we find that in New York city it is estima-
ted that three hundred women are en-
ployed at type-setting, and the Union reg
ularly chartered by the international body,
numbers some fifty or sixty memeers. In
San Francisco there are number of
women in the business, who have a
"Woman's Cooperative Printing Union"
which is in flourshing condition. Quite
recently Philadelphia Typographical Union
No. 2 admitted lady to membership,
without restriction of any kind, and she is
now working regularly in an office of that
city. Typographical Union No. of Day
ton has three female members, who enjoy
all the privileges of the body, and the
Chicago Union has had a woman as its
Corresponding Secretary who is described
as "an efficient officer, a perfect lady and
a good compositor" 1t being thus estab-
lshed that women may not only acquire
the art of printing, but be recognized in
it as entitled to the full privileges of men,
we may not unreasonably anticipate that
at no very remote period in the future the
fair sex will constitute large fraction of
the craft, for certainly there are few trades
that offer stronger invitation to women
than that of printing, what everviews may
be entertained as to her adaptability for
it.

The body hung dangling in the air until
about 3 o'clock this morning, when it wa
