BITTEN.

In common, we suspect, with many
others OF the press, we find ourselves
victimized by D 50 called publishing house

patiate on our verdancy In being caught
In trap shich has been set by the same
parties before.
Nor probably win the rest Of the press
need any advice or caution. Those who
are caught, like Us, will appreciate the
position. &
In this connection letter from a
Graham correspondent calls attention 10
the swindling character Of the article
advertised by the said Hudson.
A publisher cannot possibly know
whether an article advertised Is good or not
That must be left to be determined by the
experience Of tie purchaser. 1t would
seem frima Jacic that thing, purporiing
to be usefulor valuable, but which.is offered
ut unusually low prices, must have but
little value. Advertisers know enough Of
human nature to.rely upon the readiness
OF thousands to fall into the snare Of
cheapness. The wise and cautious will
never be caught aud II Is only for the 9TH
err class that these bats are spread.

Welearn with great regret OF the de-

The flames spread with the speed of light

and the loss Is total. AZ there was no In

Tie building was Of brick 50xS5, two

Two Thousand SIiIc~ ON Foot.

From the (San Francisco) CaIl, June 10.
The woman concerning whom so much
has been written, as having walked from
Iowa to California, arrived in this city
yesterday. After all the trouble and
anxiety Of mind, she was forced to submit
to the torture of an interview by the re-
porter of an evening paper. 1t is stated
that when the poor woman was taken to
the house of "A Swedish gentleman ''she
burst into tears, and covering her eyes
with her hands, she sobbed long and loud,
but would not speak" No wonder that
she was grateful for her narrow escape
from a lingering death. The reporter
says: ''The fact that she hears all that
is said to her dissipates the thought that
she may be dumb" This information
will be received with gratitude by medical
men and grammarians not used to such
examples Of incoherency. The woman
has light wavy hair, combed smoothly
back from her temples. Her eyes are
blue and have pleasing though wearied
expression. Her calico dress has been
patched with cloth of various colors, and
is tolerably clean considering the dusty
roads she must have travelled over
From all that can be ascertained, she is
in search, not of her husband, as was
stated by one of the newspapers, but of
her father. She wrote some incOherent
sentences in the Swedish language land
revealed the fact that her name is Sophie
Auguston, and that she is 80 years of
age. Capt RENTER took charge Of her
and escorted her to the house Of a Swed-
lsh gentleman, where, at last accounts,
she was enjoying refreshing snooze.
Some shrewd people suggest that it was
the appearance Of Capt. Kentzel that
struck the good woman dumb. Never
before could she have behcld so noble
figure. 1t has been ascertained whether
she intends walking to China but she is
more likely to find her father here. She
has had long and wearisome tramp over
rough roads, through narrow gaps, and
over dangerous trestlework; and if she
be not insane, she certainly displays an
amount of filial devotion that is highly
commendable. Many absurd rumors
have been set afloat concerning her OBJ
ject IN coming here Some newspapers
asserted that She wished to obtain "A lock
of her husbands hair, or the whole scalp;
but this idea is generally scoffed at.
Whether demented or not, the poor crea-
ture deserves much sympathy for the suf-
ferings she has undergone.

sDeEnnn Il and supply as Applied TO
Women.

The fact is, that women do not want OPP
portunities so much as opportunities want
women, and the sooner we all recognize
this fact the better will it be for the eauca-
tiOnal interest of our girls. 1t is undoubt-
eddy true that wherever there is a place
open for woman in some grades Of work
the number Of applicants is large. If
school committee advertises for one COM
mon school teacher, ninety who are de-
sirOus of filling the place. should say
ninety who are DESTROYS Of obtaining it
will present themselves. But let these
open one of the higher positions-one of
those for which we so earnestly have asked
-one of those which must be open to
women in order that the work in the lower
grades may be elevated in character and
tone-and we look disparingly around for
one who is worthy to fill it. | have in
mind now Just such demand. There is
now such an opportunity seeking woman,
and where is she to be found? where is she
who possesses the requisite executive power,
fortified and ripened in the school of
long experience, the trained judgment
which is indispensable, combined with the
inspiring power over other minds, which
is also indispensable, the gracious woman
hood and the broad culture? The oppor
tunity is ready, the call is imperative. and
why are there not more women to answer
it, | lam not seeking to fasten the blame of
this state of things on any one or on any
class. Perhaps the trouble is complex in
its nature, like that in the unfortunate
regions where it does not rain because
there are no trees, and the trees cannot
grow because it does not rain" mean
that the higher places have not hitherto
been open to women because, there were
no women to fill them, and there are no
women to fill them now, because they have
not been open. But the places are open
ing now The chances are offering and
the difficulty must be overcome for the
future by some rational course of action.
am not so much concerned with the
question of who is to blame as with that
of how the trouble is to be remedied. =
