A Female C0mpOsitOr in Memphis.

The appeal composing room afforded a
notable event in topographic circles in this
city Saturday and last night, being that OF
lady cOmpOsitOr working at the case
the first instance of the kind that ever &C.
Cured in Memphis-indeed, it is a very
rare occurrence that women are seen work
ing at tho printing business, except in some
subordinate capacity, in the South. The
event alluded to was the theme OF CONVEX
sation among the craft yesterday, and as
far as We could learn, seemed to be re-
garded in no other than favorable light.
This is quite a change in the sentiment
of the craft toward women compOsitors,
as previous to the war one OF the
clauses IN the constitution of the Interna-
tional Typographical Union positively for
babe the encouragement or employment of
the tair sex Ill the printing business. This
Objectionable clause, however, has been ex-
plunged, and, we believe, women compost
tors are received into membership in all
cities where typographical unions exist,
and, when competent, are permitted to
work; and, be it said to the credit of the
typographical fraternity, receive the same
pay as male COmpOsitOrs. The lady en-
gagged on the Appeal proved by her work
that she is an excellent compOsitOr thor
oughly an fait in all that pertains to the
art, and, to use phrase peculiar to the
composing room, ''held her own" equal to
the most expert of the opposite sex. She
is married lady, her husband also being
compositor. She SERVED her time" princi-
pally in Chicago, and "held cases" at enc
time in Fort Wayne, Indiana, where also
she was the first lady compositor who ever
worked in that city. The lady came to this
city, in company with her husband, about
three months ago-he working regularly on
the Appeal, but she, preferring 'all day
work." applied at the book and weekly
newspaper offices for work, failing in which,
she went to work in q millinery or dress
making establishment, and struggled along
with the exceedingly low wages, until she
concluded to brave the conspicuity necee-
sarily attending night-work, and applied
for and obtained work on the appeal, with
the result as above stated. Printers are,
by those who know them least, regarded as
hard set Of fellows. If those who enter
tain such opinions could have Witnessed the
respect paid this lady during her hours OF
work, they would have been thoroughly
convinced to the contrary. In fact, the
printers express themselves highly pleased
with the elevatipg association.
