WOMEN AS BANK CLERKS IN SWEDEN
The opening up to women Of new modes of
employment has found a. development in
Sweden which it has not yet reached in our
country. In the Enskilda Bank of Stock
holm women have been employed as clerks
for the last seven years, and their work has
given entire satsfaction to their employers.
The Enskilda Bank was established in Stock"
holm in 1858, and has, as its London agent,
the London and Westminster Bank. The
system under which the bank is managed is
that adopted in the Scottish banks; and a
remarkable circumstance connected with the
establishment of the Enskilda Bank is that
its founder was man who had spent bis
early life and seen service in the Swedish
Navy. Among the innovations which he
introduced, none was more startling than
that of engaging two young ladies of excel
lent education and good social position as
bank clerks. These ladies did their work so
we'll that others have been engaged to fill
similar posts, and all are still employed in
the work.

FAYE's VIEW OF THE PHYSICAL CONDITION
OF THE SUN. The Mechanics Magazine
gives summary of an interesting paper by
Mr. Faye, upon the physical condition of the
sun, deduced from the observations of the
solar spots made by Darlington. This is
expressed in the following propositions:
l. That Zollner's theory, which views the
sun as a solid body covered with a layer Of
incandescent liquid, is entirely improbable,
and, indeed, impossible. 2. The speed of
rotation of any point whatever, on the suns
surface is always expressed by one and the
same formula. g. There do not exist on the
suns surface any sensible currents which are
at all analogous to the "trade-winds." 4.
The absolute absence Of currents is only ex-
plicable by the presence everywhere Of as
cending currents of great intensity, proceed
ing from the suns center to its surface. 5.
The existence of such currents is an impera-
tive proof that the body of the sun must be
in gaseous state, and is an immense sphere
of eriform matter of an enormous tempera-
ture, but which is continually cooling by the
action of the ascending currents. 6. The
sun is absolutely spherical.

Adams, that "taxasion and representation
are inseparable. " From every hill and dale
arose the echo of that noble sentiment taught
by Patrick Henry, "that resistance to ty-
rants is obedience to God" Under such cir
cumstances is it not to be wondered that
they should decide to present even one more
petion to the king in the vain hope that their
wrongs might yet be redressed or shall we
think it strange that on meeting with disap-
pointment in this respect that they should
determine to resist even by force of arms, and
accordingly pass resolutions in favor of organ
izing an army. This they did. and thus
consequently war was begun which proved
sangune and cruel.

AGAINST GRANT.

The first meeting of the Liberal Republ-
cans, says the San Joaquin Republican,
took place in New York city on the evening
of the 18th inst. II we may judge from re-
ports furnished by billegerent and preju-
diced telegraph, the initiate step of those
who are opposed to the reelection of Gram,
was taken under circumstances the most
favorable, and attended by signs and augu-
ries presaging ultimte success. The assem-
bage was not only very large, even for a
New York meeting, but was composed of the
sterling men of the country-men who rea-
lze the importance, the absolute necessity
of more honest and economical administra-
ton of the Government of this nation The
platform was thronged with such men as
Sinclair Toucey, M. II. Grinnel, Horace
Greeley, Hiram Barney, Marshall O'Rob-
erts, George Wilkes, Frank Leslie, John A.
Dix, and hundreds of others, prominent in
political and social circles. The meeting
was held in Cooper Institute, and the build
ing was thronged with people, while thou
sands were unable to gain admission and
were forced to go away. The speech Of
CtIttOi lIuHiDull uSlOlllSicu lUOSc WHoIu
the Grant journals had taught to look upon
him as a hater of Grant and sorehead. He
exhibited no signs of ill-feelng toward the
President, nor could anything he said be
construed into the ebulitions of sorehead
He placed before the vast throng around
him calm and impartial review of the his
tory of the slavery struggle and down
through civil war to the present time. He
explained that the bitter animosities now ex-
stng were engendered and kept alive through
the continuation of polit'c,l disabilities long
after all necessity for their maintenance had
passed away. lie opposed the use of Gov
ernment patronage as so much money appro-
priated to carry an election. He alluded to
the alarmig and unwaranted assumption of
power by the different departments. He
pointed out the tendency to Capitalization
and dwelt at some length on the Importance
of a change in the civil service system. He
said he once hoped these reforms could
have been secured through the instrumental
ity of those now controlling the Government,
but experience had convinced him of the
utter hopelessness of the hope. lie urged
the people to protect themselves and said he
looked forward to the Cincinnati Convention
as the beginning of much needed reform
and believed the movement would be grand
success. Trumbull was followed by Senator
Schurz with long and eloquent speech, and
Horace Greeley also made few remarks.
The feature of the meeting was its cnthusi
asm and the total absence of all signs of
sorcheadness. The President was not at
tackled, and when he was alluded at all, ii
was in the most respectful manner.

The New York Tribune charges that
Grant has in three years appointed to office
more persons related to himself and his fam
;lv than all our former Presidents did in their
eighty years of administration; and it is con-
fdent that the emoluments that have accrued
to Grants relatives have exceeded those
realized by all the relatives Of our preceding
Presidents during their respective terms OF
Office.

THE LAST APPEAL.
FROM GOETHE.

For every idle wordthe Scriptures say
That we have spoken i'll the body here,
We must account when, trembling, We appear
Before the Master on the Final Day.
Think, then, o maiden, of the vast array
OF wasted words that in thy callous
My eager lips have poured, and deign to hear
This last appeal, nor turn my love away.
Bethnk thee, maiden, of the dread amount
Set i'll my reckoning, should st thou still remain
Unmoved-aud so make all my pleading vain
Since all my idle speeches to recount
Which l have made to thee, l greatly fear
The Day of Doom would lengthen to year!

The Rocky MOUNTAIN GoAT.-A family of
these rare animals have been c'ptured in
Montana. The Deer Lodge Independent
gives the following interesting description
This animal is caught alive by pursuing it
with hounds until it is compelled to climb the
steep rocks or precipices, which it invariably
does when closely pursued The hounds
being unable to follow, the hunter ascends to
above or just over, from which he loops his
lariat over the creatures neck. Its habits,
as far as known, shows that it crawls under
lodges of rocks, where it hides, making it
difficult to distinguish it from from the snow
which surrounds its haunts. The height of
male full grown is thirty-threc inches on
the wthers, which rise up like hump on a
buffalo. Its average weight in condition is
270 pounds. The hair or fleece, which is of
a soft and silky texture, is pure white. The
horns are spiral, slightly bent backwards, are
black and smooth, sharp-pointed and are
about ten inches long. Behind each horn is
a musk bag, resembling the human eye when
closed. The scent is quite delicate and free
from rank odor. In general appearance the
male and female resemble each other, except
the female is smaller than the male. The
fleece on the animal reaches to the knee and
its length is about three inches. The legs
below the knee hook appear as though clip
ped. The face is long and narrow, showing
side whiskers, with no beard under the chin.
The countenance is wonderfully expressive,
with great gravity of expression. 1t shows
considerable intelligence, and is rapidly be-
coming tame and accustomed to captivity.
1t is more pugnacons than timid.

already come to pass:
Carriages without horses shall CO.
And accidents Ill the world with woe.
Around the the void thoughts shall fly
In the twinkling of al eye.
Water shall yet more wonders do;
Now strange, yet shall be tue.
The world upside down shall be,
And gold be found at the root OF tree.
Through hills men shall ride,
And no horse or ass be at his side.
Under water men shall walk,
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk.
In the air men shall be seen,
In white, in black, in green.
Iron in the water shall float,
As easy as wooden boat,
Gold shall be found, and found
In land that's not now known.
Fire and water shall wonders do,
England shall at last admit aJew.
The world to an end shall come
In eighteen hundred and eighty-one.

A Sketch of Judge Davis, the Labor Reform
Candidate for President. .gc~

at the National Labor Reform Convention,
held at Columbus, O., on the 22nd, Hon. David
Davis, of Illinois, was nominated for Presidents
and Governor Joel Parker, of New jersey, for
Vice President Both of these gentlemen in-
tend to "run." Governor Parker is expected
to announce his acceptance of the nomination
by a speech at ratification meeting 10 be held
in New York, and Judge Davis has written
letter to the chairman of the convention, thank.
ing it for the unexpected honor conferred up
on him, and stating that 'the Chief Magistracy
of the Republic should neither be sought: nor
declined by an American citizen" The, indi-
cations are that the Labor Reformers are il,
earnest, and that they mean business. David
ard bearer, was born in Cecil county, Md, uili
March 9, 1915. He, graduated at Kenyon Col
lege, Ohio, in 1882, and subsequently studied
law in Massachusetts, and also at the Law
School in New Haven, Conn. Removing'to
Illinois in 1885, he WAS admitted to the bary
and soon after settled at bloomington in the
practice of his profession, In 1874 he WIZ,
elected to the State Legislature, in 1S47 served
as member of the State Constitutional Con!'
vention of that year, and in 1913 was elected
Judge of the Eighth Judicial District of ithei
State. In 1856, aud again in 1861 he was re-.
elected TO this position. He had long been an
intimate personal friend of Mr.. Lincoln, and
as delegate to the Chicago convention of 1861
had a large share in securing his nomination.
for the Presidency. The two had been thrown
much together by the practice of their profess
sion in thiply populated country, and the IN.
timacy between them was of the closest and
most confidential character. just as Judge
Davis was entering upon his third term as
Circuit Judge in Illinois he was, in 1862, ap-
pointed by Mr.. Lincoln to the position of As
ociate Judge of the Supreme Court Of the
United States, which position he still holds.7,,
Mr.. Lincoln also appointed him his executor,
and the estate of the murdered President way
wound up by Judge Davis. At the time of the
latters appointment to the Supreme Bench he'
was an ayowcd Republican, but of late yeans!
his tendencies have been decidedly conserya,
tive, and there was considerable talk of his
being an available candidate for the Presidency
on the Democratic ticket His course on the
legal-tender cases, howcver-he voted with the
majority in May of last year, holding the legal
tender act to be constitutional-has served to
estrange him from the Democracy; although
he has frequently been mentioned during the
past few months rs possible Republican can;
ddate who would receive the support of the
"passive policy" Democrats against General
Grant. Judge Davis is a man of large fortune,
and personally is above reproach
