Cost of n Homestead.

As frequent inquiries are made of the
price of securing a home on the public
lands under the Homestead act, we give
the following figures as to what it costs
a poor man to get farm from the United
States:

To sum up, 16U acres cost SIS; SO

is that included within limits of railway
grants, and only open to soldiers under
the Homestead act. A soldier must set
tie on his claim until the time of settle
ment added to his term of service in the
army makes up five years, which is the
length of settlement required from set
tiers who have not served in the army or

Type-Setting by Ladies in California.

The first employment of female type
settlers in California is credited to the
Office of the Pacific Monthly, published
IN San Francisco, several years ago, by
LlSle Lester. The press generally, in
company with the voice of the Printers
Union, assailed this innovation with at
tacks at once discreditable and unwor-
thy with a persistency of purpose that
threatened to overthrow the enterprise
and prevent its adoption by any other
party or firm. AT the present day, in
san Francisco, we find practical illus
tratiOn of the fact that the effort was
fruitless. Ladies are employed to-day
on many of the newspapers of this city:
the Morning CAL, the Pioneer, the SpiI'-
IL Of the Times, the EUdHgeLiSt, the
Christian AdrOcdte, the FdT7Rer, and
probably others we do not know of,
give employment to female cOmpositOrs.
The firm of II. 5. Crocker d Co. and the
Cooperative also employ women. In
the interior we know of several offices
where ladies are at work at the case; of
these we mention the San Jose Mercury,
the Ndpd Register, the Alpine ChrOnj-
Gle and Marin Journal So far as we
know, female labor in this branch of
business is Just as satisfactory to the
employer as that of men, and we know
no reasonable excuse to be given why
female compositor is not entitled to the
regular rates of composition when she
performs her work as we'll The Napa
Register makes mention of a lady in
their Office as follows: ''The Register
has in its Office a young lady compost
tor, Is years of age, who has been at the
case only about six weeks, and now sets
one and a half columns of BREWER per
day, from either reprinted or manu-
script copy, besides assisting largely in
household duties, making up her piano
practice, etc. If any brainless sp0oney
bleats about the superiority of his sex,
give him this fact as an antidote to his
silly conceit.n
In the Farmer office of this city there
is a little girl about nine years old at the
case, who sets a galley a day from re-
print copy; for year she has set up
"her galleyh regularly.
There is now in this city a Boston
lady, superior and rapid compositOr,
who is out of business. 1t is to be re-
gretted that there are not more oppOr-
tunities in San Francisco for female la
Dor in printing offices. The presence of
a lady in any branch of trade can have
no other than a good and beneficial eff
feet, and it seems only justice to both
sexes that she should be so employed as
well as men.-Pttcifc Journal Of Health.

Scene in Pawnbroker,s Shnn.

The following scene in n New York
pawnbroker's shop is described by an
eyewitness:
al had scarcely made my business
known at the first of my uncle's' estab-
lishments (NO. -- street, to which /
had been directed, when a middle-aged
man entered with q bundle, on which
he asked small advance, and which,
on being opened, was found to contain a
shawl and two or three other articles of
female apparel. The man was stout and
sturdy, and, as / judged from his ap-
pearance, a mechanic, but the mark of
the destroyer was on his blOated cOunte-
nance. The pawnbrOker was examining
the offered pledge when n woman, with
pale face and attenuated form, came
hastily into the shop, and with the sim
pie exclamation, % Robert y darted
rather than ran to that part of the coun-
ter where the man was standing. Her
miserable husband, not satisfied with
wasting his own earnings and leaving
her to starve with her children, had
plundered even her scanty wardrobe.
and the pittanee received was to be
squandered at the rum-shop. A blush
of shame arose even upon his degraded
face, but it quickly passed away; the
brutal appetite prevailed. Go homer
was his harsh exclamation; what brings
you here, running after me with your
everlasting scolding? Go home and
mind your own business 'Oh Robert.
dear Robert answered the unhappy
wife, don't pawn my shawl. Our chill
dren are crying for bread, and / have
none to give them; or let me have the
money. Give me the money, Robert,
and don't leave US to perishp watched

shillings on these things he said, toss
ing them back to the drunkard, with a
look of perfect Indifference. Only

Robert, don't let them 90 for twelve

Women at the Washington Convention.

Mrs. Mary Clemmer Ames, writing
from Washington to the InCfeDendent
of some of the women who We're conspic-
uous at the recent Convention there,
says of Lucy Stone:
al notice that all men, no matter what
their opinions, meet her as an antagonist
with smiling equanimity. A woman
with the most motherly of faces, who
demands her rights in a tone sweet as
silver flute, has wonderfully the adj
vantage over the gruffest male tyrant in
creation.n Julia Ward Howe is ga
woman of ideals; all her life she has
striven to draw the ugly facts of every
day into the halo surrounding her own
mount of vision. She is 4 scholar, q
metaphysican and poet; she is in no
sense a popular speaker, and never can
be. Her thoughts are too involved, her
words too rapt. Her sentences, golden
arrows, diamond-tipped, glance above
mems heads and are lost among the
stars. Like Emerson, she may speak to
many; but only few hear her and
fewer still understand. They who do
meet her soul to soul, know her, and re-
ceive her priestess and woman" "Ce-
liza Burleigh is a stately lily of Il woman,
pure and tender. Time can never oblit-
crate the beauty of her face, and there
is pathetic vibration in her voice, a
thrill in her speech, which stirs ones
heart. She is setiapart and consecrated
by love and sorrow, and the spirit of
Gods Amounted, for her work" There
was elizabeth Churchill, Of Rhode Is
land, on whose sensitive and delicate
face still fingers the shadow of griefs
gone by" And there was 'Mary Liv-
ermore in repose, looking like grand
bronzen statue, every line full of power
and majesty. When she rose, what vi
tality, what magnetic currents rushed
from her deep heart and brain into her
speech, from her speech into the nerves
and hearts of those who listened, of
whatsoever name or creed, till cOmmu-
nication and sympathy became perfect,
and she felt and held the vast audiences
| like a single pulse. In this moment she
was pure electrical, mental and emo
tiOnal force, and as such should be
/ judged. The audience, which was at
! least twO-thirds men, wept, laughed and
| listened rs she willed. Without his in
! finite sweetness and subtlety of speech,
she has all of Henry Ward Beecher's
/ humOr, dramatic fervOr and irresistible
eloquence. No women and very few
men ever carried a vast audience before
them in Washington as did Mrs. Liver
more. Such q woman in any cOmmu-
nifty, or committed to any cause, is a
power with it and in it which no words
can measure"

CHAPTER XL

AiAflEh NJ
Lightly as Ellen had appeared to treat
the proposition Of her tutor during her
grandmother's visit t0 her chamber, it
had in reality thoroughly alarmed her.
Her communion with Nature had been
so unbOunded, her love Of the unre-
strained freedom of her country retreat
so deep, and her appreciation of books
and music so satisfactory, that ideas of
marriage had not entered her brain:
and to you, friendly reader, I really feel
ashamed TO acknowledge that this idea
is and has been often prematurely thrust
upon the minds of children, whose fu-
ture mighty work of wifehOOd and ma
ternity needs the added strength of half
a score of years to properly prepare the
soul and body for the most important
functions of earthly existence.
Through the long hours of that never
to-be-forgotten night the poor child
tossed and moaned. a suspicion that
her tutor had in some way been con-
nected with the band Of gipsies who
had committed the raid upon the kiteh-
en-, and thus spoiled her first great par
ty, stole into her senses.
"Auntie Harris told me that he had
invited the gipsies. But what he meant
by getting them into the kitchen can
not imagine. Ny wondrous wise grand
father thinks that Killingsworth would
make a grand match for Ellen Dowd,
does he? Indeed 1 think I'd hardly
be worth killing after becoming Mrs
Killingsworth. The old ghoul told that

The Old Home.

AhN OAo AAOAnNs
Dear home Of my youth, what fond reeolIee-
tiOns
Are thronging around the old homestead to-
night
o, the dear hopes that sprang to life in thy
bosom
Are withered and fallen by the frosts bitter
blight
The world is so wide, so cold and unfeeling,
And hearts are so weak when drifting alone!
Few indeed are the hands extended TO aid us
When we leave thee behind us, blessed old
home.
All DER this wide world a stranger I've wan
dered,
Yet never one ray on my pathway hath
shone-
Not a star has the brightness, not a sunbeam
the glory
Like that which cleaned round us in our
childhood's old home.
There the flowers bloomed the brightest in the
hush Of the morning,
Ere the birds woke the echoes that slept in
the hills;
Like a necklace Of diamonds, the sparkle oi
dewdrops,
Their brightness reflected in the heart of tho
rills.
But the bright chain that bound Us to thee nov
is severed,
The dear links all broken and scattered to
day;
And the sweet buds Of promise that slept in
thy bosom
Like a garland of flowers have witheTed
away.
Though pulseless and still are the hands that
caressed me,
And mute are the lips OF the loved in ths
tomb,
on that beautiful shore they are waiting tc
greet me,
To welcome the weary worn wanderer home
