Tho Standard (Chicsgo) says: "Mr. s. s.
Packard gives his experience in attempting Ia
mako business men Of women. He offered,
| sew rral years ago, 20 educate fifty women gra-
| tuitously in his commercial college, New York.
The result Of this offer, he reports, is two hum
dred applications, twenty trials. and two sue
ccssee. The two graduates arc now earning
good salaries. The experiment has caused
him t. come to the conclusion that s the trouble
is not to find rrmu"cr"iivc employment for
competent women, but competent women for
the remunerative employment that awaits
thcm. Hut this trouble will disappear rs
girls more and more have their thoughts and
! their earlier education turned in the direction
Of practical, self supporting usefulness"
1t may be 50, Mr.. Standard. but not
until the laws Of our being, instituted
by the Creator ut first, are annulled by
Him, or perverted ny Us. Argue and
thcorizc as We may, the Divine plan
and all the human instinct and institu-
ti"ns, are i"c"ntrovcrtible evidence that

more elastic nature, aud more deicate

daring adventures.
Whenever this order is maintained
in its highest aud best form, there is
found the highest type Of man and
w"u'anhood there is found the most
intellectual vie"r, the best morality, and
the best unalloycd happiness. We
challenge the world for a contradiction
Of this statement
Not that woman lacks in capabilities
for tho highest intellectual culture Or
practical skill not but education IS her
right and privilege; the better her
mental training and the more thorough
" practical in all her habits. the better
is she fitted to fulfil til. duties Of her
own peculiar sphere, and the more OK
quisitcly can she ENABLE and adorn it.
But wherever and whenever she seeks
t" prepare herself t" d. mans work, t"
fulfill his duties and occupy his sphere,
the machinery gets out Of order, and
there IS II failure.

Alang Phrases.

Perhaps no vulgar practice or GUS
tom is more noticeable in the United
States than the using Of slang words,
slang phrases. .1,ng in every FORM
One is naturally led to infer that the
pure, lucid English language is infe-
rior to the vile, made-up mixture. of
what is worst in all tie divisions of our
country.
live ask some question which could
very properly be answered by yes, or
no, in about three instances out Of four,
our answer is something like, You
bet" "That's what's the matter ="
+" You know it is yourself!" or some
other slang reply infinitely worse, per-
haps. If this were confined to any
one particular class, and that class the
most vulgar one, We would not need 70
especially derlore the fact of its exis-
tence. But it is not % restricted in
use, for it is really hard to end GLASS
where the above does not exist in some
grade-for there are, apparently grades,
and the several grades Of society
seem each to have, to y certain extent,
something of a refinement Of sluug
peculiar to itself:
Even Members Of Congress, in their
speeches to the public, ar. not entirely
free from the use Of slang, and they
talk Of mot going back on their purity"
and similar expressions, whatever the
literal meaning is. Probably they use
them because they will be 50 easily
understood by the people"
Teachers Of schools, persons whose
duty it is to seek aud use purity Of ex-
preston, seem, many Of theu,, utterly
regardless il this particular, even b.
fore their pupils. And in their written
communications with one another, on
matters pertaining to school, use many
slang expressions. A teacher, promi-
nent in his profession, writing to me
not long ago, after mentioning the mum.
Der Of pupils enrolled in his school,
wrote," How high ish dat"
II We were to take this slang of
which we see and hear so much (and
USE, too, fear,) aud attempt to place a
literal construction upon it, We would
find that about all it expresses is vuI-
garity, and that no desirable sentiment
is conveyed by it, however remotely,
that would not be better expressed
plainly and properly. NJ. Is. S.

the Court No agreement upon a per.
son for tho third referee was possible.
The Judge appointed Mr.. Ware Of
Mantorvil!e. Mr.. Ware would accept
only upon tho condition that he should
receive BY consent Of parties, seven
dollars per day, the statute allowing
but five in such cases. The defendant
declined the terms, and Mr.. Ware de-
cl;ned the appointment. The Judge
then appointed A. A. Harwood. With
this the defendant WAS dissatisfied and
consented to pay Mr.. Ware his price
The counsel Tor the county deprecated
the idea Of plying one referee more
than the others were to receive, aud
consented to withdraw the appointment
Of Mr.. Harwood and rcinstats Mr..
