Pretty Barbara Ferros would not marry.
Her mother was in consternation

"Why not ?"

Barbara turned her face before the mirror,

That evening, Ernest, the gunsmith,

THE IDENTITY OF JUNIUS and SIR
PHILIP FRANCIS.

The conclusive proof of the identity of
Francis and Junius is as follows: Upon the
publication of the fac SMILES of the famous
"feigued hand of Junius, Mrs. King
taee Giles, of Youngsbury IN Essex, at
once recognized it as the handwriting of an
anonymous note which she had received in
I770 at Bath, with a copy of verses inclos-
ed, written in different and unknown
hand Frem various circumstances, she had
always believed and stated that this note
came from Philip Francis; but as the evi-
dence on that point was not satisfactory,
the story attracted no great attention, Up
Oh the publication of the Life Of Sir Philip
Francis about two years ago, however, two
lines of the verses in question we're found
quoted in a letter from Richard Iilghman
of Philadelphia lelder brother Of the late
Chief Justice Tlghman) to Francis, dated
Sept. %, 1878, ina manner plainly implying
that Francis would recognize them. This
led to a renewed examination Of the original
papers, when it was found that the copy Of
verses 1cas ia Tflghmans huadratiag :
Now, Tilghman, as appears from the Life
of Francis, while law student in the TEN
pie in 1869 and I770,-the two most i'm
portant years Of the Junius period, was
the intimate friend of Francis, who was his
near relation, and was with him at Bath at
the time the verses were delivered. These
facts led to most careful examination. by
he first experts in London, of the original
ao.o in which the verses were enveloped,
aud they unhesitatingly pronounce ii to be,
h., ond all doubt, written in the "feigned
aand of Junius. 1t follows that Junius was
the writer of the note His friend Tigh-
man wrote the verses mo doubt copied them
for Francis and when, three years after
ward, we find him quoting the verses in a
letter TO FraaciS, the conclusion is irresisii
bic that one Of the two wrote the note which
envelopcd them. But the writer Of the
note was Junius, which Tilgh,nan could not
have been, because, among thousand 9th
er reasons, the Junjus Letters began before
his arrival in England, and continued after
his return to America 1t follows, there,
fore. that Francis was the writer; and thus,
after the secret has beenkeptin inpenetrable
mystery for just a century, trivial accident
has led to its discovery and to the absolute
demonstration that Francis was Junius.
| We may add that We have ourselves com
pared the fac SMILES ofthe note with those
of the feigued hand Of Junius, and that ol
the verses with numerous eontemporaneoa'
letters Of TiIghuan now in the possession o
his relations in this city, and We concur il
the opinien of the London experts tha
there cannot be doubt of the identity il
either case. From our Monthly Gossip, i

A. r. STEWARDS PRINCIPLES or
TRADE

| have said that "the problem Of Mr..
Stewards career was already solved. The
reason ,chy it was there solved lies in the
fact that in the little Broadway store-the
very cradle Of his fortunes-he adopted those
rules and principles Of trade and of life from
which he has never swerved, and 10 which
in connection with his mental and physical
capacities for labor, his unfaggiug industry,
bis native shrewdness and sagaeity his thor
ough good sense aud profound mercantile
judgment, and his absolute genius fer trade,
his stupendous success is due.
L His first rule was honesty between sell
ler and buyer. His career is perfect ex-
emplifcation of poor Richard maxim,
Honesty is the best policy, and of the po-
ct S declaration, Nothing can need lie. "
His interest eonsorted with his inclination,
his policy With his principles, and the busi1
ness with the man, when he edetermined that
the Truth should he told over his counter,
and that no Misrepresentation of his goods
should be made He never asked, be never
would suffer, a clerk to misrepresent the
quality of his merchandise Clerks who
had been educated in other stores to cheat
customers, and then to laugh off the trans
action as ''cuteDess," or defend it as ''dia-
mond cut diamond, found no such slip
shod code Of morality at Stewart little
store, and learned frankness and fairness in
representation at the peril of dismissal.
Their employer asked no gain from deceit
in trade. On his part, too, in buying, he
rarely gave seller second opportunity
to misrepresent goods to him. leave 9TH
ers to speak of the moral effect of this reso-
lutte conduct in general trade; my purpose is
only to show its mercantile effect on the
career Of the trader himself
H. a second innovation Of the young
dry goods dealer was selling at one price-a
custom which has also lasted without inter
ruption. and which has spread to all the
great houses He fixed his price, after care
full consideration, ct what he thought the
goods could and would bring, and would not
deviate from it for any baggling, or to suit
individual cases OF course, he followed
the fluctuations of the market, and marked
his goods up or down in accordance with it;
but 10 difference in the prict was made to
different people. Perhaps those who had
some art in beating down prices were Of
Tended, but people in general were pleased.
III. The third principle he adopted was
that of cash on delireIy. 1t is said that his
own early experience in buying on credit and
selling on credit drove him to this rule; that
he had, at one time, large note to pay,
and in order to meet it, was forced to sac
rifce his goodN But he did this, even with
skill, advertised by handbills his great re-
duction of prices (now sale device, but
/ then novelty, and so came off with flying
colors
". a fourth principle with him was to
conduct business as business-not as senti-
ment His aim was honorable profit; and
he had no purpose Of confusing it by extra
ncous considerations II Monument Of

From the Independent.
WOMAN AS A WORKER.
" We live in deeds not words. +"


Let women who would get their rights
take them Abilities carve their own
sphere.
AS striking instance of this, let me give
your readers the history Of young girl
who for years conducted large part Of her
fathers extensive business.
In 1856 he owned large machine facto
ry, near one Of the principal cities iu the
State of New York The buildings covered
several acres, and from two hundred and
fifty to three hundred men were employed
in the shops. His daughter, Cornelia, came
home from school in the summer Of this
year, and soon made herself invaluable in
tie family, assisting her mother in the res
possibilities Of housekeeping and the care
Of the younger children. Her father S
counting room was just over the way, and
whenever she could snatch a spare hour she
would run over to help him add up columns
and balance accounts. She finally became
very valuable to him, as she was remarka
bis quick at figures, and it was not long be,
fore her services became indispensable. He
employed her constantly in the Office, and
would frequently send her to inspect th'
work Of the men.
IL the course Of a year, she became thor
oughly eonversaut with the details Of tht
business, and was consulted on all impor
tant matters. Her great accuracy and rap
iiity of calculation had caused her father f
/ dispense With the other clerks in the Office

FAY about forty FIVE degrees, with horizon
fal thickness at the base Of about twent,
feet, and sufficient width on top for a car
iriage-way. Portions of the wall form
regular curves, but in some parts it is quite
sinuous, and in one or two places, even Of /
zigzag shape.
There are two principal breaks in th,
wall, which form the outlets of the lake
One is on the southeast side, draining intc
the Boone river, and the other on the north
draining into the Iowa river, So you VII
see that portion of the water of Wall Lake
flows through your goodly city Of Des
Moines, while another portion goes down by
the way Of the old Capital at Iowa City
more than a hundred miles to the eastward.
We have discovered no good reason for
the idea which some have entertained that
the wall or embankment around this lake
Is work of art. 1t is our opinion that the
houlders have been placed in their present
positions by the same agencies which have
placed them around the borders of other
lakes-the principal force doubtless being
glacial action. We may not be able to de-
tefmine just Holc these natural forces have
been brought into action to produce such a
result as we see, but there are many other
things in Nature which our philosophy has
never yet been able to elucidate. 1t has
none Of the marks of utility design or pur-
pose which are essential to support the the
DRY that it is a work Of art. On the contra
rs, it presents many of the features which
are known to be the work Of natural forces.
1t is even now to be observed that the water
Of the lake, during a strong wind, beats, OF
surges outwardly against the shore, on sides
where the wall exists. This is owing to
the peculiar surface, or topography of the
surrounding country. We therefore come
to what we deem the more reasonable con
clusion-that the winds, the water, and the
ice, have been the agents, working through
centuries, to accomplish the result in ques-
ton.
Such is Wall Lake, and our idea Of its
marvellous wall The Indians doubtless
regarded it with some interest, and fre-
quently resorted to its shores, as arrow
heads. stone hatchets and other articles Of
their rude ingenuity have been picked up
around its borders. The groves of timber
afforded them shelter and fuel, while its
waters furnished them fish. We found a
well executed flint arrow head, which had
been washed out among the pebbles on the
beach. The early trappers and hunters also
doubtless made it a prominent stopping
place in their wanderiDgs over these wide
prairies Soon after Mr.. Purcell's settle
ment, he found the barrel aad lock of rife
in the grove on the lake shore They had
evidently been left there many years before,
as the wooded portion Of the gun had en-
tirely decayed In another place he found
also piece of the barrel of a shotgun.
We conclude by assuring the reader that
there are in Wright county several lakes
equally beautiful, but perhaps none posses
sing so much interest as this.
We are indebted to AIr G. B. Martin Of
Goldfeld Wright CO., Iowa, for the copy Of
the Iowa State Register containing the
above.
