A Kentucky Female stock Drover.

The advent Of drovers at the East Liberty
stook-yards is not generally heralded with any
extraordinary flourish of trumpets, though there
is considerable believing at times when there is
an arrival Of stock. But when sfemale drover--
a genuine female drover, or we might call her
droveress-made her appearance out there early
last Monday morning, riding on top of car with
the other droyers you may imagine it caused
something of a sensation. The lady's name is
Mrs. Margaret Magee, and she halls from Gym
thiana, Nv. She brought along two carloads Of
cattle, and was accompanied by her son, severn
teen years Of age. She is rather good-looking,
robust in figure, and probable 35 or SS years
of age. She owns 400 acres Of land in
a high state of cultivation in the Blue Grass reg
ion, and is monarch of all she surveys. She
raises stock, and has shipped stock several
times before, but this is the first trip she has
gone into the business, and into the caboose
car like the other drovers. She is the widow OF
drover who died some time ago and left her to
shift for herself, and she is dong it nobly. She
is treated with the greatest respect and courtesy
by the other drovers, and her first trip among
the jovial class of drovers exerted decidedly
beneficial influence. Nothing was said in her
presence to which she could take exceptions /;
and her first reception being 80 cordial and gem
tlemanly on the part of the drovers and all 9TH
era with whom she has had occasion to mingle,
she will doubtless continue to accompany her
stock to the East Liberty yards in the future.

Starting a fire on a Damp Morning.

Many persons have often noticed the extreme
difficulty encountered in lighting the fire in
stove, especially on a still damp morning. The
stove at first wont draw even vigorous elbow
ing will not suffice and then. when it does
start it s with sort of explosion or outward
rush Of air, which fills the room with smoke and
gas, oitentimes putting the unpleasant fumes in
in the face of the operator. The trouble is
caused by the difficulty encountered in overcom-
ing the inertia ofthe long column OF air in the pipe
or chimney by the small column of air that can be
forced up through the interstces of the wood
and coal, at the bottom of which the fire is kin
died. All this may be remedied by simply put
ting few shavings or bits of dry paper on top
of the wood OF coal, and first lighting that. It
Immediately bursts into blaze, because the air
has perfectly free to 1t from all sides the
heated air forces its way into the chimney and
can then be applied to the kindling under the
fuel, which will readily light, and If dry burst
into brisk flame.

The Japanese VS.. The Pacific Ma,i.

A curious international suit has been made up
in the case of the japanese Government against
the Pacific Steamship Company. When the ex-
pedition against Formosa was fitted out at Yoko-
hama, the Japanese Government chartered as
transport the steamship helo York, of the above
named company's line. Subsequently, the Amer
lean Minister Resident gave public notice that
the proposed expedition was reported to be de-
signed for war-llke demonstrations against de-
pendency of China Empire, with the government
of which we are at peace, and that American cit
izens engaging therein would put themselves
outside of the protection of their own Govern
ment. The Nep York was accordingly drawn
from the charter. The Japanese brought suit
it the Consular Court at Yokohama for breach of
contract laying the damages at S10,25O. The
decision was in favor Of the company, and the
plaintiff has appealed to the United States Cir
cult Court, MIR. Justice Field, sitting at San
Francisco. The equities of the case appear to
be with the steamship company. 1t is however,
a singular sign of the much-talked-of progress
of Japan that its Emperor should be a suitor in
the United States Court.

A Clean Tabie-Cloth on saturday

recent writer in the Golden Age discourses
at length upon "Napery' in general, and clean
table-coths in particular, in the course of which
Utopan vision is given of "the house where
Saturdays cloth is as clean, as well pressed as
fresh looking even, as when it was first laid down
six days ago." This the writer views as neces-
sarily an abode of oveliness and peace, order and
comfort. Material pleasantness AZ well as moral
beauty" we are told, ''may be read in that
well kept Saturdays CLOTH
On this subject we suggest, to start with that
we disbelieve in toto in that miraculous table,
cloth secondly that if the wonderful piece of
napery could he preserved in all that freshness
from weeks end to weeks end, it would betoken
anything else but material pleasantness and
moral beauty. 1t would necessitate incessant
badgering of the children of that household to
keep them within the limits of a careful order
alien to the childish nature. Johnny would
find opening a soft-boiled egg almost as danger
ous as opening all artery, Dicky would see tbs
connection between tipping the salt and getting
into quarrel as matter Of fact and not of
superstition, and even the master of the house
would conduct the spattery business OF carving
with dismal trepidation. Cleanliness is next to
Godlness, no doubt, but surely it would be bet
ter to have things made renevedly clean at the
cost of little more labor than preserved in that
state at the cost of all the easy comfort OF
home.
After all, is not Neatness, like Fire, a good
servant, but bad master. There was force in
the criticism of that irreyerent person who de-
cared that some folks are possessed with a
clean devil

The Luxury of New York Hotels and
Their Fables.

1t is matter of much interest to those who
Eecently there has been quite rivalry among
the frst-class hotels about their bills-offare each
striving to ret the best table for its guests. We
speak more particularly of the hotels on Broad
way and Fifth Avenue, the Grand Central being
the most centrally located, and elegantly FURNISH
cd. OF these four or five leading hotels, the
bills OF fare are covered with the names of the
most luxuriant viands Of the season. The bill
of the Grand Central especially, deserves setting
apart as notable specimen Of modern culinary
skill in the number, variety, and richness OF its
dishes. 1t contains no less than eleven courses
for dinner, and gives the hours for no less than
six meals every day, for the moderate sum of
from SO to "a per day including, of course, an
elegantly furnished room for each guest. 1t
would seem from this that the tours of our tray
elers and the visits of our business men become
rounds of pleasure as of well as of business

REPUBLICAN, NOMINATIONS.
MIR REEoHER NOT A asHREwpr MAN.

Now that public opinion, excepting amongst
the peryerse, is settling rapidly down to the glad
confinement of the Great Plymouth Preach
ers moral purity, there is still good deal OF
criticism upon his lack of worldly wisdom, his
''wealness," or his folly, in permitting men like
Tilton and Moulton, to 80 misuse him. This ap-
pears to be the salient feature in the case ac-
cording to the expressions of some, and it would
almost seem that they regard his failure to de-
tect the dishonesty of those who played upon
his credulty' as fault scarcely less than that
which Tilton charged upon him.
Meeting such criticisms as these, it may be
asked what character do people expect to find
in Henry Ward Beecher? To us, he is naturally
man whom systematic deceit might .ensnare.
He would not be Beecher if this were otherwise.
To us, he is man of great heart with abund-
ant love for his kind, aud warm, enthusiastic
faith in human nature. His regard for his friends
was given without stint he kept nothing Of it
back. To have been calculating, acute, and
Z" shrewd in his judgments would have made
him another man than Beecher, one over whose
moral innocence we might have been glad, but for
whom the country could not have poured out the
WARM anu nearly ryinPathy "hlch so bieao Ia
ture responsively claims.
Mr.. Beecher's statement, and the answers to
his examination are full of the character of the
man. He describes the springs of his action
completely He tells the principles, the moods,
the conditions that caused his several steps.
All these, thus fully laid bare, honor him as a
man, testify to the simplicity and sincerity of
his nature. They do not show him as a "sharp
person, perhaps, but that is not what we expect
or desire to see him. Rather let a great and
truthful soul be once deceived, than that al
souls should be narrow, shrewd and without
