THE RIGHTS OF SOME WOMEN
We have in mind two among the most
agreeable women we ever met, botn
in manners and general cultivation,
who are fitted personally to adorn any
drawing room, and who can converse
intclliSently on any subject which
may be broached there. but who are
not in general society, IN the town
where they live, simply because one
of them is dress maker and the OTHER
a milliner. Both devote their even
ings to reading and study; they tray-
cl, they hear the best music, and are
familiar with the best thoughts of the
day; and to the few who are really
acquainted with them, they are valued
friends. But they are not often III
yited--because nobody thinks of it.
Can society afford to do without such
women as these? And their case Is
not exceptional. 1t is true that there
are scores of young girls in our shops
whose breeding and whole appearance
are very questionable, and who could
not be received. at present, into polite
society. But do we hold out any in
ducements to them to cultivate them
selves? DO they see that those in
their position who have become re-
fined and intelligent are any better
of, socially, than themselves? Nay,
may not they seem rather worse off,
as having lost taste for one kind OF
society, and failed to obtain admission
to another?
But il may be answered we have
church sociables for these very people.
Yes. we have; and most of them are
very poor affairs indeed. Would 1t
do yon much good. if you were a shop
girl, to 90 once a month to tea, at a
church parlor, and be waited on with
condescending assidnity by Mrs.'Jones
| who never speaks to you in the shop
except to give an order? Or do you
even care much for her kinder aud
more thoughtful neighbor, whom you
always like to serve, because OF hel
gentle ways, when she urges you tt
come to these seeiables and get ac
qminted, and never would think o
/ asking you to her house for that pur
pose, matter how unexceptionablt
I your English and your dress?
Our rule is not so revolutionary a.
it seems. We do believe in an ar
rangcment of society which shall per
nit the introduction Of all worthy tC
take a place in it a society where, a
least for those not native to it. tin
qualifications shall be refinement an'
Intelligence. Some are in who oush
| to be out. no doubt; but this canno
be helped. 1t is for those who are on
and ought to be in that we now speak

The following is copy ola novel
pledge said to have been extensively
signed by members of the New York
Stock Exchange:
We the undersigned, dep ec,atingthc
growing evil of intempeiance, and be-
lieving that it is in great degree IL
duced by n mistaken idea of sociability
and politeness; therefore, with a view
Of cXterlninating the evil in q practi-
cal way. we hereby pledge ourselves to
pay only for the liquor which we our
selves drink, and to abstain from drink
ing any liquors which others pay for.
This hits the nail square on the
head, for manya young man has left
d party of friends, feeling little boozy
because he accepted an invitation to
drink ut the expense ofa friend, and q
fear ofnot being sociable or polite in
duccd him totake perhaps his first ''one
glass toO much" that wouldn't have
been taken had he been alone.

The obsequies were all that 'thc
boysn could desire. Such a marvel of
funeral pomp had never been seen in
Virginia. The plumed hearse, the
dirge-breathing brass bands, tie closed
marts of business, the flags dropping
at half-mast, the long plodding pro-
cession of uniformed secret societies,
military hatallions and fire companies,
draped engines, carriages of officials
and citizens in vehicles and on foot,
attracted multitules Of spectators TO
| the sidewalk, roofs and windows; and,
for years afterwarl, the degree OF
grandeur attained by any civic display
/ in Virginia was determined by COM
parison with Buck Fanshaw's funeral.

aCut ,um Toe short"

50 The distance between my
post and Santa Fe was over 300 miles,
and to facilitate mateers was ordered
to survey a new and shorter route
cutting off about 20 miles. A COM
any, numbering so men. was detailed
for the purpose and as the course led
partly through wooded region, con-
siderable squad was required to act a
axmen. Three or four lively black
and-tan terriers accompanied the COM
mand, afiorling no little amusement by
their activity in swapping up tmwary
eophers, rats. mice, and other yermin.
The aborigines. who frequently horror
ed us with their presence, claiming 70
he GOOD Indian, me" were eXces-
siyely pleased at those performances.
On A certain occasion. one stalwar fel-
who spoke a few words of English said
to me:
"Nantanh, heap good dog"
"Yes," replied, 'they are good
dogs" -,

"Aough. me got good dog; cut 'um

Yes; bring your dog, I'll have him
fixed for YOU.
Next LAY, my Navajo friend ap-
pcared with a small, black, Indian fice,
sporting a long tail, and ears to cor
respond, Uurplling this precious
ouadrupcd from his blanket, he signi-
fed desire to have the jobdone with

badc one hold the dog whild the other
locke,l his tail with an AK. This did
not Snit Redskin, who refused to trust
his f,yorite to the tender mercies of a
savage white man, and preferred to
perform the operation himself. | there
fore ordered one OF the men to hold
the dogs tail over Il convenient log.
while the other held his head and fore
paws. All Icing ready, the Indian
seized IN ax but instead of using it as
any other person would have done, he
swung The blade high over his head
with both hands, as if the object to be
separated required his whole strength.
Just then the soldier who held the tail
gave a sudden pull, while the one at
at the head gave corresponding
push. Down came the keen weapon.

HALF-RIEED BrFFALOEs. = The
San Francisco Post says: Some eX-
periments have been tried crossing the
bunaloes with domestic cattle, and the
result is highly satisfactory. a breed of
animals being produced which retains
many of the Invaluable properties of
both breeds. The animals are large
and strong, the chief objection to them
being that no ordinary fence stops
them for moment. and that they love
the water so much that they swim and
sport in it even when it is full Of float
ing ice. We have heard OF Il COW and
calf whose love for athletic exercise
was such that they would jump from a
bank ten feet high into deep water,
when there was an easy path c'ose at
hand. These personal peculiarities are
drawbacks to the introduction Of bnf-
falo blood into the veins Of family pets;
but, on the other hand, when cared tor,
these animals make most delicious beef
and their hides, when soft-tanned, are
as much superior to the buffalo robe of
commerce az wool is to shoddy. The
writer saw the pclt of the COW men-
toned above. It is much larger than
any buffalo robe which he ever saw be-
fore, was covered with mat of soff,
curly, brown hair, there being none of
the long. shaggy lair ordinarily seen.

SAM GALLOwAY.-Sam Galloway,
who died in Columbus, Ohio. a few
days ago, was one of the most effect
i've public speakers in the West. His
force was in the flce-makings, of
which he was almost az perfect as
Tom Corwin. lie would get before
an audience, and make what would
read like very plain speech to those
who had not witnessed the facial en-
phasis with which it was intcrSper'ed
during its delivery; but he could hold
a crowd for hours and keep it in con-
vulsions OF laughter, not by what he
said so much as by the way he look
ed Just after he had said it. There
were those who thought lie merely
initiated Tom Corwin, but he was not
an imitator Of anybody. He had a
very comely countcnance to begin
with-as had Corwinalso-and he had
wonderful faculty for twisting It in
to shapes to suit the tenor If his
speech. 1t used to be said OF him that
he could make a first rate speech with
ont uttering syllable; and it was a
habit of him to 20 through with few
facial contortions before proceeding
with his discourse.
