BLooMNGBURG, July 1, 1873.
EDS. HERALD:-A few sore heads in this

pose the 4th of July celebration at the

about celebration on that day at Hays

place is CANNON. We expect to go to Wash

almost passed out of our mind, and
the cries of suffering people for as
sistance have been unheard amid the
raging of the Wall Street tempest
and the crash of falling houses.
Reports, nevertheless, are constant
lv reaching US of the fearful havoc the
fever is making at Shreveport and
other Southern cities. In the form
er place it is said there only remains
5000 souls out of population OF
about 5000, and of those who still
brave the pestilence 1000 are pros
trated by it. The terrible picture
can only be viewed through a com
parison. Suppose two-thirds of the
population of Buffalo to have left the
city. and that of the $4,000 remain
ing Is, 900 were prostrated by yellow
fever, and fair idea will be obtained
of the horrors which afiiict that un-
happy town and in less degree are
known in other Southwestern cities.
1t is said the fever at Shreveport
IS abating for want of victims, but
the sick and the widows and orphans
are there. Untold suffering and want
are there, and they appeal loudly for
prompt and plentiful help. Here is
a field for the exercise of practical
sympathy which should not 90 un-

Hail, Welded LOvel

The Danbury Ne1CS man remarks;
You know her. She lives on your
street. Her features are either
pinched or full and frowsy. Her
dress is wet, ill-fitting and of no pat
tern; her slippers are broken down;
her hair is uncOmbed; her voice is
either shrill or coarse. You have
seen her stand out in the back yard
and put bare arm up to her eyes,
and under it peer out to the fence or
barn where a man in an ill-ftting
coat is searching for something, and
have heard her shout-"John! can't
George bring me some water?" And
you have heard him cry back" If
he don't get that water | will take
every inch of flesh off his bones"
And when you have looked at her
again does it seem possible that those
angry eyes have dropped in maidenly
reserve, or raised in coquettish light
to the face of the man in the lift
ting coat. Can you, by any possible
wrench Of the imagination, conceive
of his tenderly passing peppermints
to her; Of his taking that hand in his
and bashfully squeezing it. But it
was so. Many God bless you"
has been uttered above that bare
head, many kiss pressed on that
uncombed hair. The tightly-com
pressed lips have lovingly framed
tender invitations to him to take
another bite Of cake and pickle. The
hands that are now par-boiled and
blistered and marked with scars from
the bread-knife and scratches from
the last setting hen were once twined
lovingly about his neck, and the nose,
which is now peaked and red,
and looks as if it would stand on
its legs and scream with rage, once
followed the figures of his new vest
pattern or bore heavily against his

Some Women Workers.

Said a very distinguished woman
to us one day, "there is nothing in
the world, either in law or in public
sentiment, to prevent an American
woman from following any business
she is competent to follow" and 1t
begins to look as if a good many
women had found this fact out. a
deliver in the late census Of the Uni
ted States has brought to light some
interesting figures on the subject.
Beginning with art matters we find
that there was, in 1870, one woman
architect, four sculptors and twenty
nine engravers. Three hundred and
seventy three thousand three hun
dred and thirty-two women put them
selves down as agricultural labOrers.
Seventy-iye called Themselves stock
raisers. two were hostlers, and eleven
kept livery stables. In the protes-
sions we find five lawyers, twenty
four dentists, siXty-seven preachers,
and five hundred and fifty-fiVe doc
tors. In the trades there were one
hundred and six bell and brass foun
ders, four gas makers, seventeen tin
smiths, thirty-three gunsmiths, sixty
tanners, seventy brick makers, thirty
four wood turner's and carvers, four
teen hundred and ninety five printers,
eleven hundred seventy-eight bar
bers, and eighty-four shingle and
lath makers. There were also distil-
lers, brewers, boat hands, bankers,
undertakers, fisherwomcn, white
washers, dray drivers, and charcoal
burners. After this, who shall say
that women can not work OF are not
allowed to do so? But even this
is not all. One woman, the census
tells us, is a regularly licensed pilot,
twelve are auctioneers, and two are
scavengers. Now we do not cite
these figures merely for curiosity's
sake, though they are interesting
enough even in that way. They
ought to carry with them a lesson,
and that lesson is that ally woman
may follow any business she chooses
quite as freely as a man may; and
this being the case it is well worth
the while of people having daughters
to train them to some business or
other, so that when the necessity for
work shall come, as it must to many
women, they may bring skilled hands
to the task on which their bread de-
pends.-Hearh and Home.

TIE necessities of the opposition
to the Republican ticket are very
clearly shown by their tactics in the
conduct Of the campaign just open
ING in this County. Finding the
principles of the Republican party
to be invaluable and the general
management of county, state and
national affairs to be such as the peo-
pie approve and ought to approve,
they have nothing left them but to
find fault with and create prejudice
against candidates. They are there
fore slyly engaged in trying to make
the people believe that our candidate
for Representative, Hon. c. s. Jones,
is a salary -grabher, one who goes
in for heavy salaries and back-pay
steals. The insincerity Of those en-
gagged in this dirty business is very
clear when IL is remembered that
those most active in it, although pro-
fessedly Republicans, are men who
voted for the reelection to Congress
of Hon. Henry Sherwood, a Dem
ocrat, and one who did last winter
IL Congress not only vote for in
crease Of salary and back pay, but
who actually received it from the L.
$. Treasury and still holds it and
justifes the act.
In the Legislature Of Pennsylvania
last winter there was a proposition
to increase the pay Of members from
one thousand dollars to fifteen hun
dred dollars per session. This pro-
position Our member Of the Legisla-
ture, and present candidate for re-
election, opposed consistently and
earnestly in every stage of its pro-
gress, and it was defeated.
Now, gentlemen of the opposition,
professed Republican especially, you
who are so loudly berating increase
of salaries, and especially back-pay,
here is a chance for you to demon
strate your sincerity by voting for
the return to the Legislature Of one
who voted as you profess to desire.
If you cannot or will not do that
You ought at least to come out under
your real colors.
To all honest Republicans We
would say, that so far as candidates
merely are concerned you can GER
tainly do no better than to vote for
your whole ticket and nothing but
your ticket. There is not man on
it who is not eminently worthy of
your cordial support, and certainly
if comparison be made, man by man,
with the candidates who are reputed
to be out in opposition we find in
the persOnelle of the men only strong
er reasons why we should stand by
our ticket.

THE Constitutional Convention
has concluded the second reading OF
the legislative article. The section
defining the number of members that
shall compose the Legislature was
passed as follows:
"The members of the house of
Representatives shall be apportioned
among the several counties according
to population, on ratio to be OBJ
tanned by dividing the whole popula-
ton of the State, as ascertained by
the most recent United States census,
by two hundred. Amy county, incIu-
ding Philadelphia, having more than
one ratio shall be entitled to a mem
ber for each full ratio, but each
county shall be given at least one
member, and counties shall not be
joined to form a district. Any coun-
ty having less than five ratios shall
have an additional member for sur
plus exceeding one-half ratio over
one or more full ratios. ANY county,
including Philadelphia, having over
one hundred thousand inhabitants
shall be divided into districts, and
every city shall be entitled to sepa-
rate representation when its popula-
tion equals the ratio, but no district
shall elect more than four members.
TNoTE.-Under the apportionment
plan now determined upon, the whole
number of the House of Representa-
tives is estimated at 2ll, of which
Philadelphia will have 38 members.
"Gen. Whites section authorizing
the Legislature to apportion the
State every ten years was to-day

cussion by 56 for, and Al against
only two Democrats for and two
Republicans against it."

the artist himself as it were so much
clay; whereas stone must be cut by
the hand of an intervening workman.
There seems to be no good reason
why terra Gotta should not come into
general use in this country for build
ing purposes. In England it has
long been a favorite material, and 1t
enters largely into parts of the ele-
CANT Albert Memorial Hall, as also
of the South Kensington Museum.
American architects have so far had
prejudice against it, which it is
hoped will soon yield before enlight-

qualities.
