Self.SuDDorting Wives.

Col. Higginson in the Woman's Journal.
For young married women to under.
take to contribute to the family income
is in most cases utterly undesirable, and
is asking Of themselves q great deal too
much. And this is not because they
are to be encouraged in Incidence, but
because they already, in normal con-
dition of things, have their hands full.
As, on this point, may differ from
some of my associates, let me explain
precisely what l mean. AS / write
there are at work, in other parts of the
house, two paper-hangers, a man and
his wife, each forty-fve or fifty years of
age. Their children are grown up and
some of them married they have a
1daught er at home who is able to do the
housework and leave the mother free.
There is no possible way of organizing
the labors of the household SO judicious
as this; the married pair work together
during the day and go home together
to their evening rest. A happier couple
L never saw it is delight to see them
cheerfully at work together, cutting,
pasting, hanging their life seems like a
prolonged industrial picnic, and if l

an English duke, l should keep them
permanently occupied in putting fresh
papers on the walls. But the merit of
this employment for the woman is, that
it interferes with no other duty. We're
she young woman with little children,
and obliged by her paper-hanging to
neglect them, or to leave them at a a
by combining all her duties, then the
sight of her would be very sad. So
sacred thing does motherhood seem
to me, so paramount and absorbing the
duty of a mother to her child, that in q
true state of society think she should
be utterly free from all other duties
even, if possible, from the ordinary
cares of housekeeping If she has
spare health and strength to do these
other things as pleasures, very well but
she should be relieved from them, as
duties. And as to selfsupport, l can
hardly conceive of an instance where it
can be to the mother of young children
anything but calamity.

Bergh After the " Great Snowman"

from LDe new IOTk ouuf DeC'
On Thursday Mr.. Bergh visited the
show at the rink. Bergh and Barnum
have met before, and fierce have been
the battles between them. Barnum
would insist upon feeding his reptiles
upon live pigeons and rabbits, and
Bergh vowed that he should not. Bergh
had the Sun to back him, and won, but
Barnum sent his reptiles over to New
Jersey, and there fed them as he
pleased. The humanitarian had not
got two yards beyond the entrance be-
fore he was spotted, and offers of re-
served seats were made by one of the
officials but Mr.. Bergh had paid his:
half dollar and was independent. All
the live animals were visited and their
cages inspected. The great African
eland was found in small cavern
without room to turn around, and the
sacred Burmese bull was in a like pre-
dicament. The royal Abyssinian lions,
the South African tigers and leopards
were found better located, and they ap-
.neared better contented. A fierce spot
fed hyena attracted Mr.. Bergh's atten-
ton. He was chained down within
eight inches of the floor of his cage. In
the next compartment was beautiful
w marked leopard, and the hyena had
torn down a portion of the wooden par
titions to enable him to scrape an ac-
ouai1itance with his neighbor. Long
nails had been driven through the par
tition to keep off the hyena. Mr.. Bergh
requested that the chain might be
heightened SO as to allow the beast to
stand upright. 1t appeared that the
animal sometimes got ugly, and was
then chained down. The anteaters
and the happy family were then in
spected, and their treatment and lodg-
ings were approved Of Altogether,
Mr.. Bergh thought the animals We're
we'll cared for, though confined In
smaller cages than were needful.
The circus was also visited, ana
bareback rider nearly came to grief Tor
lashing his horse, a splendid grey, over
the nose with the but of his whip. he
had little boy in his arms, four years
old. a poor little mass of what appeared
to the spectator flexible india rubber
nv the manner in which he was twisted
about. This rider will be watched, and
if he treats his nag in the same manner
that part of the performance will be
abruptly closed and the noble equestri-
an will be hauled off some cold night in
his feshings and lodged in the York
vile ice cellar.

AnecdOte of Handel.

Handel was one of the most humor-
Gus of mortals, and at the same time
one of the most irritable. His best
Jokes were perpetrated frequently dur
ing his most violent bursts of passion.
Having occasion to bring out one OF
his oratorios in a provincial town OF
England, he began to look about for
such material to complete his orchestra
and chorus as the place might afford.
One and another was recommended, as
usual, as being g. splendid singer, a great
player, and so on. After a while such
as were collectable were gathered to-
gether in room, and after prelimina-
ries, Handel made his appearance puff
ing, both arms full of manuscripts.
Gentlemen," quoth he, "you all read
manuscripts eyes, yes" responded
from all parts of the room. "We play
in church." added an old man behind a
violoncello. every we'll, blay dis" said
Handel, distributing the parts. er -
This done, and few explanations de-
livered, Handel retired to distant part
of the room, to enjoy the effect. The
stumbling, fumbling and blundering
that ensued is said to be indescribable.
Handers sensitive ear and impetuous
spirit could not long brook the insult,
and clapping his hands to his ears, he
ran to the old gentleman of the violon-
cello, and shaking his fist. furiously at
the terrified man and the instrument.
said, " You blay in de church very
well-you may blay in de church-foI
we read, the Lord is long suffering, OF
great kindness, forgiving iniquity, trans
gression and sin; you shall blay in de
church, but you shall not blay for me =
and snatching together his manuscript,
he rushed out of the room, leaving his
| astonished performers to draw their own
conclusions. - st;L

Recollections of George Washington.

Colonel Forney writes: More than
twenty years ago l made the acqua1nt-
ance of David Hoffman, of Baltimore,
the eminent lawyer and legal writer,
who died of apoplexy shortly after in
the city of New York, seventy years
old. I was introduced to him at the
dinner-table of Charles Jared Ingersoll.
Marked deeply in my memory of that
afternoon were two anecdotes OF Gen.
eral Washington, whom these interest
ing veterans had known in their youth.
Mr.. Hoffman, while playfully reminding
his contemporary and friend Of his an
cient Federalism, related how, as a lad
of twelve, he had met the Father OF his
Country in Baltimore. An immense
crowd had assembled to meet the
patriot. Hoffman, with two other boys,
fingered after the concoUrse had disap-
peared, for an opportunity to see and
converse with the honored guest. Wash
ington had retired to his chamber, but
answered the knock of the boys by
opening his door and inviting them in.
In those days the French Republicans
had large class of imitators and fol
lowers in the United States, and Hotf'
mans two companions wore what was
known as the Jefferson or French COCK
ade in their caps. After Washington had
asked their names he turned to hoffman
and said: "I see that you have no
cockade will you allow me to make
one for you ~ And calling a servant,
he directed him to purchase piece of
black ribbon. and "with, this" said Mr..
Hoffman, "he cut out for me a black
cockade, which he pinned to my cap
with his own hands and that is why |
have remained Washington Federalist
to this day, and why Ishall die one"
There are not many living who could
relate similar experiences. Mrs. May
EIlet, whose memoir | had the honor OF
writing, and who lived to be nearly
ninety, dying in the city of Philapel-
phia about two years ago, was full OF
these "reminiscences. There are doubt
less old families whose records and rec
elections abound in stories of the Revo-
lutionary and ante-Reyolutienary he
roes and statesmen. AS we approach
the Centennial Anniversary of Ameri-
can independence these materials ought
to be collected.
