Female TiPPIers-

Observation and experience on the
part of the police demonstrate the
lamentable fact that in this city there
are several scores of small children
on the highway to the penitentiary
and the bagnio, owing to the drunken
habits of their mothers. The frequent
arrest of intoxicated females by the
police painfully indicates an alarming
increase of drunkenness among the
women. So apparent is this increase
that in addition tc the anxious query
so frequently propOunded by the
press-'swhat shall we do with oul

Funeral at Sea.

The sun had just risen, and Lot q
cloud appeared to Obstruet his rays.
A light breeze played upon the bo-
som of the slumbering ocean. The
stiffness of the morning was only dis
turbed by the ripple of the water,
or the diving Of a flying fish. 1t
seemed as il the calm aud noisless
spirit of the deep was brooding over
the waters.
The national flag displayed hall
way down the royal-mast played in
the breeze, unconscious of its solemn
import. The vessel glided in stately
serenity, and seemed tranquil as the
element on whose surface she moved
She knew not the sorrows that were
| in her own bosom, and seemed to
look down on the briny expanse be-
meath her, in all the confidence and
security of strength.
To the minds of her brave crew II
was a morning of gloom. They had
been boarded by the angel of death
and the forecastle now contained al
that was mortal of this victim. Hi:
soul had gone to its final audit
Grouped around the windlass, anC
left to their own reflection the hardy
sons OF the ocean mingled their sym.
pathies with each other. They seem

lieve that there minds were some,

shall we do with our drunken women
Imprisoning them does DO good, be-
sides it deprives their children Of
even the small care and attention
that even the most inebriated of
mothers occasionally bestow upon
their young. When a woman once
becomes confirmed devotee of the
beer-ean and the gin-bottle no pun
ishment sufiices to cause her to re-
form her habits. Sometimes there is
temporary spasm Of reformation
but it is soon plunged into a mug ol
beer and drifts away out Of sight and
memory in the rivulets of beer and
gin, and the drunken woman goes on
staggering about the streets, into the
cutters and the station houses, while
her neglected children roam at will
and pilfer right and left to supply
their appetites, and so become eandi
dates for the penitentiary with ths
chances ten to one in favor of theiI
election:
A very bad social practice ha:
grown into vogue of late years, which
is tie real cause of the frightful in
crease of drunkenness among women
Formerly, when women visited eacf
other to gossip, their social tipple wal
tea; now, among the classes best of
in the point Of wealth it is wine, and
among the poorer classes beer is the
stimulant. A woman in making hal
dozen calls during the day vii
swallow as many glasses of wine oI
beer during the time. After while
these stimulants are insufficient, anC
stronger medicines are called in play
and at last many succumb to the irdu
ences and fall victims to a pernicioui
social custom.
The cause of the evil being known
it now becomes the task of soeiol0
gists to discover the remedy.

A Rural Retreat for Printers.

The public has heard of homes for
destitute poets, homes for broken
down actors, homes for superanuated
clergymen, hoTes for unsuccessful
literary men, but home for printers
has been reserved for Mr.. j. G.. Coo
lev of Middle Hill Farm, North
Franklin, Conn, out Of love to de-
wise. And why not home ior prin-
tiers as well as for the poet and the
author whose work they immortal
ize? For if authorship be immortali-
ty, the printer is the artizan of i'm
mortality. But of the merits of the
plan there can be no two opinions.
Let US see what are its practical de-
tails. Mr.. Cooley has a farm. of $50
acres, well stocked, and Herewith a
commodiOus dwelling-house and ap-
purtenances situated at Middle Hill,
North Franklin, Conn. This he pro-
poses to dedicate to the uses of a
printers home. He intends thereby
to provide a way for the self-sup-
port of about so persons. He does
not mean the home as loafing place
for the idle, nor a hospital for those
who are already sick, but as an op-
portuHity where peaceful home, in
growing age and failing strength,
may be enjoyed at the price of moder.
ate labor. Nor is the editor left out
in the cold, provived he has first
served an apprenticeship as prin-
ter. In regard to these editors, Mr..
Cooley cautiously provides that they
must be temperate and of good char
acter, but with these qualifications
they are welcome. The farm and
dwelling-house aforesaid, Mr.. Cooley
proposes to legally convey to the
home, in perpetuity, as soon as the
prscticablity of the scheme is demon.
strated. Pending this, he solicits
discussions and criticism from the
press.
Mr.. Cooley began life as praeti-
cal printer, became the proprietor Of
the Norwich Courier, Grifted to New
York, grew rich in the manufacture
of wooden type, and now in the ma
turity of his life, devotes himself and
his resources to the realization Of a
lifelong hobby. Now that be has
acquired wealth and leisure, their
chief value to him is, that they ena-
BILE him to make up in some sort, for
the inequalities Of fortune, which
have left so many of his fellOw-erafts

if Tom preferred Amanda? And yet,
was she to dream of taking the fancy
of o young fellow like Tom Briefly
she with her pale face, plain ways
and serious eyes? The women of his
family had been used to rustic in
stiff silks, and shine in sheen of lace,
with sunshine and powder tangled
in their dimpled cheeks; at least.
that was the story their portraits
told, hanging and growing dusty in
the great hall year after year. 1t
was hardly likely that the heir of
such traditions would think of her !;
and yet it was her day-dream, her
aspiration, that some day he might
presumptuous dream; but he was
ALWAYS SO kind. Amanda, with her
colors, pretty confidence and dashing
ways, might beguile the heart Of a
seraph, she fancied and, after all
Tom was only young man, with a
mans relish for warmth, vitality, and
beauty. What if it should come to
pass, and she should have to live out
her life next door to Tom and his
wife and watch the shadows upon
the curtains, and see their children
go in and out. After oil, perhaps,
she needed the piano, in order that
she might confide the secres that
sometimes seemed too big for her one
heart to hold.
ssNell is so odd p said Amanda,
as she and Tom loitered home.
What do you suppose she wants
with q piano-a girl who spends half
her time in the dairy and kitchen ~
"a piano isn't bad investment,
and Deacon Small says Nell's got q
talent tha. oughtn't to be hid in a

aOh, that's it! He's been turning
her head with his batteries. | won-
der he dosn't marry her and be done
with it!
"Marry Nelll Deacon Small ~
cried Tom, with start and laugh.
"Did he ever dare propose such a
thing?n
"They say she has had it under
consideration. Folks think she could't
do better"
Couldn't she ?n said Tom uneasi-
ly.
Hes got means, you know" said
Amanda, seriously, "and Nell's got
ambition"
"And he's old enough to be her
grandfather.
"Some folks, you know, would
sooner be an old mans. darling than
young mans slave"
"You wouldn't?n
am wait till the young man asks
me-"
answered Amanda, suggestiyely as
well as wisely, and tossing her head
as she bade him goodbye.
at can't be that Nell would marry
The deacon for his MEANS mused
Tom Amanda s such little apple
blossom it's hard tor y fellow to make
up his mind. Jehu what coneeit-
ed ass l am Perhaps Nell would
not marry me any way. There's q
look in her eye, though, that makes
me feel sometimes as if there wasn't
anybody else in the wide world
and then Amanda'll throw one of her
saucy glances this way and raise the

to Farmer Wheating's ears and made
