Cruelty to Girlt.

A medical gentleman writes as tol-
lows to the Philadelphia Bulletin: May
I call attention through your columns
to an abuse which exists in many stores
in our city, and; which is not apprecia-
ted or condemned as it ought to be. l
refer to the custom prevailing in some
stores Of compelling tn: girls and women
to stand behind the counter during the
entire period Of their daily service I
am, as you know, not the first to speak
Of this, and would that my short no,
tice might avail for goo6. The custom
is selfish, cruel, and useless. Selfish on
the part of the proprietor requiring the
woman to stand all the time, whether
serving customers or not, and this mere
ly that they may appear to be always on
the alert to wait on those who call.
Cruel it also is, and, to degree, to
stand from Z or 8 o'clock in the morn
ing to 6, 8, or 10 o'clock at night-as
is the custom at certain stores-with
short time at midday for dinner would
weary any man. But to exact such
service from girls and women! Their
physical powers are, it is we'll known,
much weaker than those of men, at any
rate, and by their anatomical physiolog-
ical peculiarities they are entirely unfit
for bearing this especially severe toll,
viz: standing all day long. My pro.
fessional brethren, who practice largely
among men, are constantly witnessing
the terrible consequences Of the cruel
"rule of the establishment" The poor
sufferers generally bear long with what
no healthy woman can safely bear for a
mere month without becoming a suffer-
er-before they apply to us for relieffrom
disorders induced by the enforcement of
this "rule." Disorders, which not only
for the present cause pain, weariness,
weakness, loss Of appetite, indigestion,
sleeplessness, mental depression, etc.,
but which are actually incurable, and
so continue indefinitely; incurable be-
cause the cardinal necessity of remov.
ing the cause" is denied them by their
employers. Often when, after years of
this inhuman slavery, husbands care
relieves them from house of bondage,
they enter upon their new life feeble,
diseased, and utterly unified to assume
the high and important obligations
which now devolve upon them. The
custom is useless. The employees can
wait upon customers more promptly
and more effectively if they are allowed
to sit down and rest when not employed.
I have heard complaints<6 Of girls at GER
tain stores being slo3 in>watting on pur-
chasers. being listlets, and not interest
ed, etc. How can they be other" ise
when in weary pain ? SHrightliness and
weariness are not altogether compatible.
If the press would speak against this
abuse, and if women who buy, in justice
to those OF their sex who thus toll for a
living, refuse 10 deal where the "rule"
above referred to is in force, we would,
before this year closes, see the abuse
abated. l speak of many years o + oh.
servation, and from much sympathy
with those who suffer needlessly and
sadlv.

the crowning evil of the occasion, the
very pinnacle Of the family despair,
was master Coville. Such a spectacle
as that young gentleman presented,
when he appeared, was never before
seen in any family, we are certain.
There was candy in his ears, and in bis
eye-winkers, and down his back, and in
his pockets, and on his clothes and
there was candy on the inside Of hia
jacket sleeves, and 50 much Of it that
he could not, trying his best, get that
garment more than part way on. And
as for his hair no pen can describe it,
and a steam-plow wouldn't attack it.
It was just simply matted with candy.
Had he plunged headlong into hogs.

would not have been more thoroughly

could tell. To . mind Of ordinary bust

difficult matter to decide which should
be saved-the boy OF the molasses.

was heard in the room and on entering it
was found that he had blown out his brains
with pistol. His friends state that the
cause of the act was mental alteration.
New YORK, April 9.-At 6 o'clock last
night terrible explosion occurred at Pat
tenburg, New Jersey, causing the death
OF four men and injuring several others.
1t appears that one of the FIVE boilers used
fDr COMPRISING air for the use of drills
beirg worked in the Juggtown tunnel ex-
ploded, causing the total destruction of
four others. As all who were in the i'm
mediate vicinity of the exploded boilers
are dead it is impossible to show how the
accident occurred. Mrs Simmons, driving
past in a carriage at the time of the explo-
sion, was probably fatally injured by being
thrown from the carriage, the horses hav-
ing taken fright and run away. A num-
Der of persons were injured by the flying
debris.
