A "STRANGE STORY. "-Pcrhaps, our read
ers may remember to have read, when it first
appeared, or perhaps when it subsequently
appeared in one Of its qualifications, the
story Of the man, supposed to be named Cbas.
Diehl, who, having been found drowned, with
uudisputcd marks Of violence, in the East
River, was identified by Mrs. Diehl of Brook
yn as the body of her husband, and was bu-
ried in Brooklyn cemetery. Thereafter seve-
raj claimants, friends, etc., combined to show
that the dead man was some one other than
Charles Dichl. What was to be done? 1t
was the old story Of the testimony of wife
and cousins against that of mere friends or COM
peres. The matter was speedily decided and
at this hour, the remains supposed to be those
Charles Diehl, lie In cousecrated ground. This
is only story of rccognition-ordinary and
'commony," is it not? Nothing of strange
story" here is it? Certainly not; and why ?
Simply because, on Monday last a sailor, stated
to have lately served in the United States
Navy, arrived in port by certain steamer
"Northcrner. Coming on shore, he was
taken sick and, from that sickness, died From
papers found Oh the dead body, the name Of
the deceased was discovered And the name
what was it? Only Charles Dichl, whose rcla-
tives, regrctful'y, and whose wife, tearfully and
with broken heart, had, less than four months
ago, bewailed him dead. Is not this strange
story stranger than even Bulwer's? Does
is not show how brief is the transition from
partial supposed recognition to positive refu-
tation ?-NcU York NcUS.

Richmoudis PROFESSIONALLY growing more
rapidly than at any former period. The Dis
patch says 1.-THE progress Of the city Is very APP
parent to all those who travel over 1t. The
main growth is westward; but buildings are
going up in all directions. We yesterday count,
ed nineteen very good brick houses In course OF
western part of the city, near the junction OF
May there were two hundred new houses I'M
der way, and now we suppose there must be
more than that number.
The files of the Richmond Examiner recently
bought by the State for $3.50 have been bound
and placed in the State Library. They cover
the whole period Of the war, beginning with
April 9Th, 1861, and ending March 3lst, 1868,
the latter date being that OF the funeral OF Jno.
NJ. Daniel.
Gov. Walker yesterday ordered the discharge
of Jacob Reynolds, white convicted of horse
stealing in Frederick county in 1867, and sent
to the penitcntiary Tor seven years, he having,
by good conduct during his imprisonment, Sc
cured the deductions upon his term allowed by
law.
Yesterday morning as the GAO train on the
Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac rail-
road was going out of Richmond the pilot of
the locomotive, struck white man on the
track at Ballard crossing aud knocked him lu-
to the ditch alongside, killing him Instantly.
A workman had bis left hand accidentally
sawed off yesterday at the Tredegar Works, in
Richmond He was employed in tending the
saw when he careessly threw his baud back
nnon II ond all four nf the fingers on that hand
were cut off close up to the palm.

The Woman Question.

The mission OF that sensible English wo-
man, Miss Emily Faithful, in this country,
affords striking and pleasing contrast 10
the rant and nonsense we have been accus-
toned to hear on the subject OF woman's
rights from those eccentric ladies Down
East who are known as ''strong.minded. !" "
Miss Faithful concentrates her efforts to &C.
complish the reform OF what is undoubtedly,
in practical point OF view, the most seri-
ous and widespread OF woman's wrongs at
the present day. We mean the almost uni
versal habit among employers OF consider
ling woman's labor, In any department OF
human industry, OF less value intrinslcally
than that OF man. The Injustice of the
distinction is, OF course, too plain for argu-
ment. II woman is capable OF entering
into rivalry with man, there is not the
slightest reason why she should not receive
an equal profit from equal labors. But 10
render successful rivalry possible, Miss
Faithful insists that there should be o new
scheme OF education for woman; preparing
her from childhood for the contingencies
which may arise in life; teaching her trades
as well as the piano forte; inculcating the
truth that knowledge OF sewing machine
lis as important as an acquaintance with
the language OF Dante. To render this
scheme OF education effective, woman's
body should be cultivated as well as her
,mind-should be prepared to present o
healthy organization to the many phenom-
ena included in the word nature. As the
case now stands, woman's equality has be-
come almost synonym with woman's dis
solution, saleswomen, sewing machine ope-
ratives and mill girls, being but other
names for consumption, for dyspepsia or
for some other chronic ailment. To urge
upon her sex the adoption Of such habits as
may tend most effectually to overcome the
physical and social difficulties In the path
OF every woman who seeks to earn her own
living, Is the liie-task to which Miss Faithful
has devoted her markable energies.

exhausting in the extreme. The man, VINO

the ordeal he was about 10 undergo, and JOY
fully seized upon the opportunity offered him
for reaching the New World. Before the
steamer had been twelve hours out, however,
he bitterly repented his rashness, and on ar

Our National Debt.

'why the National Public Debt has increas-
ssed" is question that ia exercising the gen.
tlemeu at Washington who are always "ac'
..countlng for things" When the December
statement was published, the reason given
was that the Treasury had not received as
much money as t'had paid out. This is plain
enough for one to understand, for 1t refers 10
a point in the economy of finance very often
experienced by private persons, as well as by
c,,ies. States and nations. Since the January
statement was published, there is another ex-
planalion for that month, and this one is not
30 agreeable. We are told that the January
statement would have shown decrease of
the debt if the Treasury had not paid out
about 81, ,sOO,OOO as interest on the bonds
loaned to the Pacific Railway Companies. To
this 1t may be added that the Pacific Compa-
MES cannot pay this Interest, but compel the
government to pay 1t, because munihcent
,.subsldles" voted by Congress to the compa-
MES were squandered upon the "Credit Mobi-
