Anecdute Of Webster.

When Daniel Webster had reached the
very topmost height Of his fame, after his
great speech in reply to Colonel Eayne, of
South Carolina - the speech commonly
known as his Constitutional Speech"-he
paid visit to his old home in New Hamp-
shire, the neighborhood of his boyish years
and his first manly aspirations and strugglings
A wel-known citizen was his companion.
After going up the rough mountain roads for
good long while. Webster pointed out the
nearness of the old parental roof tree.
''rheie," said he, "is neighbor" Jones We
will call him-''there's our old neighbor
Jones. I'll stop and talk with hiIo, anu see
ii he knows me-" So Mr.. Webster got out
OF the wagon and walked on ahead. Soon
he met the old man Jones, and passed the
time of day." as they say in good rural New
England. Webster walked lazily, loiteringly
along the road, and, finally turning, said to
the scanned, gnarled, rugged old farmer;
"Wasn't there family named Webster
once living near you? knew something OF
family Of thai name said to live in these
parts"
our old neiehbor. He had two likely boys.
Lessee; Zeke, and then there was-what's
his name-O, Dan'l. DaB'l Webster" And
then Daniel, leaning on the fence, engaged
| in a long talk with the farmer ABOUT the
| Webster family-a talk quite unnecessary TO
ranroduce here. The farmer was very en-
topsastic about Ezekiel. Ezekiel Webster,
II sbonld be remembered, was young man
Of rare nromise, of even greater promise than
I;s San,aus brother. as we believe the latter
d,,.itted in ripcr years. He died when but
a Young man The farmer could not say too
much in praise of Ezekiel, to all Of which, Of
course, Daniel Webster listened with bound

"What became OF the other brother-Dan-
iel?'

We publish this morning tho speech Of Con-
gressman Farwell on tho currency question.
Wo grieye to notice that Mr. Farweu has genor-
ally fought shy OF tho roll-call when voting waH
to be done, but wo are bound to say that his
speech ia for the most part sound. Barring his
misconcoption Of what Ia called tho "balance
Of trade" his observations on the nature and
functions Of money arc correct, and hts ideas Of
what is necessary in the way Of legislation aro
based on good business principles. His REQ
concentrations are that banking DO made free,
and tint tho groenback circulation DO con-
tracted az now bank-notoB arc issued,
until System Of practical redemption is
brought about. This plan accords with tho
viows set forth by Mr. JameH y. Buell., President
Of tho Importers and Traders National Bank
OF Now York, in his testimony before the House
Committee On Banking and Currency.
Tho best spoech, however, which the Illinois
delegation has contributed to the currency de-
butte is that made by AIr. Durchard, Of tho Fiftl,
District, on tho I'd inst. Alr. Burchard's argu-
ment eylncoR an aptitude for economic soionco
combined with careful study and conscientious

To appreciate fully tho meaning Of The call

published yesterday morning, 1t il necessary to
understand the circumstances that hayo provoked

tho suffering or threatened districts do not fur

Tor the past tbroe weeks the rivcra and
streams tributary to tho Mlssissippi throughout
tho entire Southwest laye boon gradually rising.
at last tho water rose higher than at any timo
Rnco 1847. The pressure at this timo WA such
aa to cause serious apprehension, mud demanded
tho utmost care for tho preservation Of tho
1evees along the rlyor. a wook ago thta district
was visited by severo tornado and thon yio-
lcnt raiu-storm, which lasted for several daye.
This WAS notably tho case In TonncBaoo. The
Cumberland River roso rapidly. Some accounts

ENGLISH WOMEN.

There aro 5, ,469. .081 unmarried women In Eng
land above tho age Of IL, who arc engaged
In specific occupations, and are earning money
thereby. This ia tho report Of tho CEN
BUS Of 1871. In this country, according to
the census Of 1870, there aro butt, 83O,289
women over tho ago Of 10. unmarried and
married., "ongagod in all olaBsos Of ocoupa-
tions." 1t thus appoars that English women
aro as q class, much moro industrious than their
American sisters. When all tho married women
have been excluded, tho ratio Of feminine work.
ors above Is years Of ago to tho whole popu-
1ation in England is over in 7. In this coun-
try, whore ali the married women aro counted
In, and when the limiting ago ia put ayo years
lower, tho Bamo ratio ia about in al, 4 heavier
pressure Of want md the greator extension Of
manufaoturoa, with tho consequent ohnnco Of
employment nro probably tho main cause8 OF
this somewhat Amazing difToronoe. We have
had much moro talk here than in England about
tho proprioty Of providing work for women.
Thoy seem to have quietly gone to work there,
instead Of talking about it. Perhaps this has
had its influence in improving their chances for
tho ballot, which they may obtain even from a
conservative Government. II tho word finale u
wore stricken out Of the existing laws on
the franchise, tho Tories would gain number OF
votes. The now votors would bo twidows OF
spinstora living on anuuitlea or carrying on
snall retail trades In boroughH." These olassea
arc crabbotly Conservative. DlsraolI will not
himself Introduce tho needed bill, but AIr. For
syth. ono Of hts supporters, will. Tho Govern
ment will not oppose It, and there is said to bc a
fair chance Of Its passage.
