MOmEN AGAINST WoMEN.

Tale bearing and idle gossipping
is, under all circumstances, and by
whomsoever indulged in, a most un-
profitable and disreputable business;
but when it assumes the form of
malicious SANDER, it at once becomes
a crime, even though the poisonous
darts are so shaped that the strong
arm of the law may be unable to
protect or redress the wrongs of the
ones thus injured. But the most
serious, very worst feature of SANDER
is that which is invented or circulat-
ed by one woman against anoth-
er. A woman writes of this great
wrong as follows. 1t may be ap-
propriate at the present time, and
may be read with profit by all:
Women against women is a prob
lem none can solve. Why do wo-
men stab their own sex so merciless-
ly-strike so ruthlessly? Many a
pure, sensitive woman has been stung
to death by such iujustice-too often
by unfounded rumor. Who that has
ever traced the torrent of rumor to
its source did not find that vivid
imagination had colored it till
facts and reason had been lost in the
whirl? Slander rears its hydra-head
everywhere, and all good, pure wo-
men-and, thank heaven! there are
many-disdain to listen to a story
against another, unsupported by
proof. If women could realize how
panied and disappointed all true men
are to hear too often nothing, while
in their own society, but deprecia-
ton of their own sex, they would be
nobler, truer women. Men-even
bad men-never indorse a woman's
trying to injure her own sex; what
ever her motive may be, it matters
not.

still-born calf with two well devel-

EDITOR STAR:-Was pleased TO see your val
liable paper take the lead in calling attention
to the great need Of a suitable building for

May through your paper suggest to those
engaged in water color painting the propriety
of organizing society for mutual benefit, and
paintings by our own artists and others for ex-
hibitiOn and sale. New York city has q flour.
ishing society of this kind, and has Just closed
IFS seventh annual exhibition. Can we not have
a society here worthy of the capital, and So
that we may not be compelled to 60 TO New
York to exhibit and find sale for our paintings?
Here should art have its headquarters and

Will those favoriDg the organization of such
