Mistress and Maid.

The failure of the Dundee movement for
the elevation of domestic servants seems to
prove that reform must move in another di-
rection than the regulation of the pattern of
aclp or the wearing of peculiar style of
apron. But the maids of Dundee are not the
only maids who are striving to better them
selves abroad. Our exchanges mention a
strike among Berlin waiter girls, because sew
eral saloon-keepers had employed colored
women, A petition has been sent to Prince
Bismarck, but the strikers learned to their
sorrow that the German chancellor could do
nothing to help them.
That reform in domestic service is needed
there is no question. The trouble between
servants and housekeepers is one of such
widespread and growing Importance that it
fairly threatens to overturn the foundations
of domestic tranquility. The general idea of
housekeeping seems to be that of perpetual
motion-that is, of furnishing house, put
ting in wheel here and there in the shape of
a servant, setting the machinery in motion,
and then leaving it to run ITSELF
Domestic service has unfortunately fallen
into disrepute among American women.
They prefer to drag out a weary existence as
factory girls, sewing machine operators, or
sales-women, on q pittance that will furnish
neither healthful board nor comfortable lodg-
ing to the active duties of housework, with
the privacy of ahome, the companionship of
friends, decent quarters, and sufficiency not
only to clothe them, but to furnish surplus
| for accumulation.
We have apparently reached the cul de sac,
and the only way out of it is by placing a
| higher estimate upon kitchen labor by both
mistress and maid. When the laboring wo-
man realizes that the change is from enerva-
ton to strength, from anxious care to repose
and comfort, from exposure to the tempta-
ton of evil associations to the sacred privacy
and refinement OF home life, we may begin
to hope that the idea of having in our domes-
tic economy the requisite amount of philoso-
ply to properly make fire yayash clothes,
sweep room, and make an everyday applica
ton of Science to cooking, is not altogether
utopian.- Philadelphia Telegraph.

By q souall in the Delaware Raw last

By squall in the Delaware Bay last week,

overtaken. At Nazai eth Methodist Church,
on Twelfth street, Philadelphia, at public
worship they had occasionally been present.
From the way things looked, the capsizing of
their shallop was very near inevitable. BILL"
said one to the other, ''this is serious bus-

heard Joe Quinn do it, and Pve listened to

TRIUMPHANT FOR TWENTY YEARs-More
than twenty years ago the MUSTANG LINIMENT
made its debut in the West. Its cures of the
various external diseases of horses and cattle,
astonished the planters and farmers of the
Mississippi and Ohio Valleys and demand
for it sprang up which necessitated its manu-
facture on an extensive scale. Soon the dis
covery was made that it was grand specific
for rheumatism, gout, neuralgia, earache, tooth
ache, and other external ailments of mankind.
Then it was tried as healing, pain-killing ap-
plcation, in cases of outward injury, such as
cuts, bruises, burns, spasms, &C., and was
found equally serviceable. The fame of the
new remedy for some of the most painful ills
that affiict mankind and the lower animals,
spread rapidly, and MUSTANG LINIsrENT soon
took rank in every State and Territory of the
Union as STANDARD CURE.

it with fexibility-that Toilet Chemistry has

lFrom the Saturday Evening Telegram.l
A Complete Somerset in Five DAYS.

The resignation of Col. John l.. Rice as a
member of the Republican State Central
Committee will, no doubt, be quoted by poll
ticians and newspapers out of the State as an
evidence that Massachusetts, republcani.m is
on the eve of a tremendous revolution, and
that the party is about to 60 to pieces. In
reality there is no political significance in this
move-it is only the preference of single
individual, and represents no one but John
l.. Rice. His conversion, however, seems to
have been quite sudden, and on the whole
puts PauFs altogether in the shade. Last
Saturday he wrote without solicitation the
following for the Telegram, which we sup
posed reflected his opinions at that time:
THE CINCINNATI FOUNDING.
The story of founding always excites a
tender and plying interest. We all expert
ence something of the maternal instinct when
we hear it; all of which Iis creditable to the
human heart, and inclines us still to be hope
full of that ''noble entrail;' albeit the found
ling itself suggests total depravity. And
so, when the noise and sweat of the great
political travail of Cincinnati shall have been
long forgotten, we shall still commisserate the
fortunes OF its unnatural offspring and heap
lnfamy upon the heartless wretches who so
basely abandoned it. Those persons who
were primarily responsible for Horace Gree
ley's candidacy, were the first to repudiate it.
1t was not legitimate offspring, they said;
and they left the luckless bantling to merci-
less fate; but the Tribune midwives, who had
assisted at the birth, stoutly maintained that
it was comely child, and found for it fos-
ter father in the Democracy; and now the
unfeeling parents have taken service in the
Democratic nursery, and between the two,
the founding will have such bringing up as
Fagin and his fellows gave to Oliver Twist.
Poor HOracer'
Five days afterwards he addres ;ed his letter
to the Secretary of the State Republican
Committee, though he seems to have taken
special pains to have it first printed in the
Springfield Republican.
