Well Paid Women.

The lady correspondents of the
press in Washington are becoming
an established and important institu-
ton, and very well paid one, too.
Mrs. Mary Clemmer Ames, for ex-
ample, who writes so cleverly for
the Independent and Brooklyn Union,
is paid salary of S., 600 per annum,
which is more, We suspect than is paid
to any man correspondent or writer
in Washington.
Mrs. Harriet Prescott Spafford is
paid for correspondence $4,000 a
year, and writes articles for papers
and magazines, besides.
Miss Soead ("Miss Grundy") sends
very pleasant and racy letters to the
World for 81 300 and writes to the
Springfield Republican. Louisville
Journal ana Baltimore Saturday Night,
for which she is paid large sums in
gold.
Mrs. "Grace Greenwood" Lippin-
colt has written considerably this
winter for the Tribune, for which, OF
course, she obtains her own price.
Another clever and very industri-
GUS correspondent is "Olivia" { Mrs,
Briggs, of the Philadelphia Press.
Her letters are among the best sent
from the capital.
Probably one reason why these
lady correspondents are so well com
peusated is that aside from their abil-
ity, they attend very closely to their
duties, do not pervade places where
much bourbon, late nights and bad
cigars are consumed, and do not in'
dnlge in sinful games. "-Bazar.

Spit Out the Prejudice.

At the public breakfast given in
New York to two hundred ministers,
at which DR.. Gather expounded his
scheme of union in moral science
Rev. Mr. Oliver, black man, pastor
of colored church, told the follow
ing story
He said he was delighted with the
meeting, and if they would let black
fellow into the moral science he
should be glad to join. These are
good times, and the spirit Of union
brings Christians of all colors togeth-
er. He would illustrate by the story
of Jack who used to steal chickens
aud pigs. When all cures of theft
had been tried and still the chickens
and pig kept dropping off, the mas
ter says, 81 know what will do it,"
So be called, Jack, you rascal, come
here; | am going to make you a
Christian tc stop your stealing pigs.
Kneel down and say your prayers
Jack got down. pray, you black
rascal" Don't know how Massa,

Jack-'Our Father Jack repeat

"But, please, Massa, let poor fellow

rascal, say it," Your fadder an

that, Jack, go on with your prayers
Thy kingdom" "No, Massa, one
thing at time, is you and brudders ?
Come, now I'll spit out the prejudice,
and say it if you will" [Great
laug hter.] Here the black man look
ed around upon his hundred white
brethren of the ministry, and said
Brethren, | am getting over my
preiudices." The congratulatory
hand shakes which he received al
the close of the meeting showed that
we are getting over ours.

Gen. William Il. sherman.

A correspondent of the New York
EUening Mail, gives the following
description of Gen. Sherman as he
appears at home in the War Office.
Meeting Gen. Belknap in the low
err hall &C the War Department build
ing, | took advantage of his presence
to pay my respects to Gen. Sherman.
His Office is one of the smallest met
with occupied by an official of any
grade, and il was also one of the neat
est. In fact the office in its appoint
ments had nothing to indicate that it
was not the sitting room of some re-
fined private dwelling. l mention
this becaufe it must indicate some
characteristic quality of the occu-
pants mind. Gen Sherman we had
not seen for some twelve years.
Time deals with him gently, for there
was very little difference in his per-
sonal appearance between the princi-
pal of the Military Academy at Alex
andria, La, 1861, and the veteI an
hero of the "march from Atlanta to
the sea"
And by the way, what a precipice
did General Sherman stand upon at
the breaking out of the rebellion.
His home among the most enthusiast
ic and powerful opponents of the
Union, surrounded by men of elo-
quence and women of fascination,
and at time when the natural ele-
ments were dissolving into chaos /;
when it seemed as if the Federal flag
was to go down into obscurity, want
ing in friends to sustain the principles
it represents, Gen. Sherman literally
put his hands to his ears aud fled
from the temptations which surround
ed him-Christian fleeing from the
wrath to come was not more earnest
and great has been Gen. Sherman's
reward.
The Generals face aud head form
a whole which the photograph is from
chemical laws, obliged TO libel His
features are not large and his fore,
head is nearer like Shakspeare's than
ever saw on living shoulders. His
hair is sandy and his complexion
rudy, but not free from slight i'm
projections in the skin. Now the
photographs of Gen. Sherman-and
they are to be seen every where-are
out of shape and out of drawing, and
give to his complexion the notified
appearance peculiar TO the shell of a
turkey egg. This result comes from
tho fact that tho forehead is exag-
gerated by the lens, and, instead of
giving il the delicate form which in
dicates genius, we have the heavy
over-burdened protuberance peculiar
to dull, Flooding minds. The imper-
fections in the complexion, which
are scarcely perceptible to the naked
eye, throw most delicate shade VS.
under the prying sunlight and the
daguepreotype makes them so many
dark spots on the Generals face, and
good people say "the hardships of the
field have impressed their wear and
tear" when nothing Of the kind is
really the case.

LONGEVITY AN INHERITANCE
exchange paper, referring TO the
duration of life under certain circum-
stances, says: Some very curious
facts have recently been announced
in regard to discoverable signs of
long life. The facts have resulted
from scientific Investigations set on
foot by life insurance officer. The
most interesting feature in a learned
series Of essays on the physical signs
of longevity in man, is the announces
ment that short persons live longer
than tall ones; and women, on an
average, all other things being equal,
live longer than men. Married per-
sons of both sexes have a longer ex.
pection of life than the unmarried
unmarried women live longer on an
average, than bachelors yet both
fall short OF the amount of life thew
each might reasonably hope for in
matrimonial relations. Longevity il

ton, that length of days is an actua

Poison of the Oleander.

The Oleander, SO popular as o
house and yard plant, is extremely
poisonous. DR.. Wright, in COM

publican, says that he was called to
attend child few days ago who
had eaten some small fragments OF
an Oleander bush that had been clip
ped off The symptoms were sudden
and violent, and the result nearly fatal
Deathly prostration, sunken eyes,
great pallor, incessant vomiting, ex-
treme thirst and purging were the
predominating symptoms. An old
medical work quoted by the Doctor,
after describing the poisonous quail
ties of tho plant, adds: "When hand
led in close room, when the stomach
Is empty, causes a numbness, coming
by degrees, which shows that some
thing poisonous belongs even to the
smell" The United States Dispen-
satory mentions the fact that 1t il
used by the French peasantry as a
poison, aud that while the deadly
principle exists both in the leaves
and bark, it is more active 10 the
latter.

A TOUCHING AND ROMANTIC Incl
DENT.--A recent sketch of the loves
of great lawyers contains this touch
ing incident in the life Of William
Writ: In his younger days be was a
victim to that passion for intoxica-
ting drinks which has been the bane
of so many distinguished in the legal
profession. Affianced to beautiful
and accomplished young lady, he
had made and broken repeated pledg-
es of amendment, and she, after pa
tiently and kindly enduring his dis
graceful habit, had at length dismiss
ed him, deeming him incorrigible.
Their next meeting after his dismissal,
was in public street in the City of
Richmond. William Writ lay drunk
and asleep, on a hot summer day, the
rays Of the sun pouring down on his
uncovered head, and the flies crawl
ing over his swollen features. As
the young lady approached in her
walk her attention was attracted to
the spectacle, strange 30 her eyes,
but alas so common to others who
knew the victim, as to attract little
remark. She did not at first recog-
nize the sleeper, and was about to
hasten on, when she was led by one
of those impulses which form the
turning point in human lives, to
scrutinize his features. What was
her emotion when she recognized in
him her former lover! She drew
forth her handkerchief and spread it
carefully over his face and hurried
away. When Writ came TO himself
he found the handkerchief, and in
one corner the initials of the beloved
name. With heart almost break
ing with remorse, he made a new
vow of reformation. He kept that
VOW and married the owner of the
handkerchief.

insanity Cured by Surgical Oper-
alton.


4
Some months ago colorcd man
named Tyler was brought to the
Cen trail Lunatic Asylum, suffering
from insanity of the most furious
and dangerous character, resulting
from the kick of a horse, which
crushed the skull and pushed down
a large piece Of bone upon the brain.
His condition required the severest
restraint, and it was found necessary
to confine him to q close cell, and to
keep him in handouts, and even
then he found opportunities to at
| tack his attendants. DR.. Conrad, the
Superintendent, then called the at
tention of DIR. Hunter Mcclure to the
case, and DIR. McG., after an examin-
alton, determined TO attempt to re.
moval of the bone, which was press
ing upon and into the brain. The OPP
Grafton was successfully performed,
and piece two and half inches
long and one inch wide was removed.
This was three months ago, and tho
previous to the time the patient had
been constantly having epileptic fits,
and as many as three or four day,
he has wholly recovered from them.
There is now no insanity, and tho
the mind is enfeebled, its power is
fast returning. The wound caused
by the surgical operation has healed
up, and the man is walking about
without restraint, and promises to
get entirely well. He has no recol.
lection of what has occurred during
the seven years-the period of his in
sanity being an entire blank in his
memory. The case is an exceeding
ly interesting one to surgeons and
physicians, and the cure-for it is
now safe to characterize it as a cure
Us one of the most remarkable ones

THE DYING NEVER WEEP.-It is a
striking fact that the dying never
weep. The sobbing, the heart-break-
ing agony of the circle of friends
around the death bed, call forth no
responsive tears from the dying. Is
it because he is insensible, and stiff
in the chill of dissolution That
cannot be, for he asks for mis- fathers
hand, as if to gain strength in the
mortal struggle, and leans on the
breast of his mother, sister or broth
or, in still conscious affection. Just
before expiring, he calls the loved
ones, and with quivering lips says
"Kiss me p showing that the love
which he has ever borne in his heart
is still fresh and warm. 1t must be
because the dying have reached q
point too deep for earthly sorrows,
transcendant for weeping. They
are face to face with higher and ho-
lier things, with the Father in Heav-
ed and His angels. There is no
weeping in that blessed abode to
which he is Fastening.
