TREASURY TRANsFoRnA TIoNa

The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette writes 8" Some
very amusing things have been
unearthed by the keen, answering as
siduity of the new Secretary of the
Treasury. Quite number of supposed
young maidens have been developed
into matrons, with husbands either in
the department or in outside business.
One young girl mar led devotee of
Crispin, and retained her maiden name
and position with the proviso that the
husband was to furnish the head of the
bureau and his family with the best
boots and shoes, made to order. An
other chief clerk obtained his annual
supply of groceries on the same princi
pla of robbing Peter to pay Paul. A
messenger receives a compensation of
81 900 per annum, and after the official
clock points it's welcome finger at
p. m., the chairs are-20resto changed
into BARRIERS chairs, and the work of
shaving goes bravely on. This enter
prising messenger runs regular bar
ber's shop outside besides. A man who
recently bade farewell to earthly snares
occupied some inconspicuous position
for thirty consecutive years. In the in
terim he had invested his accumulations
in large house, which in time became
valuable from it's situation. He then
opened the house to accommodate
boarders, and it became the resort of
very nice class OF people. The house
was handsomely and thoroughly fur
nished, and the value of the entire
property must now be somewhere in the
vicinity of $50, 900 to $65, ,OOO!''

THE SUGAR CROP SHORTENED Bl
FROST.

THE SUGAR CROP SHORTENED BY
FROST
A New Orleans exchange says A
private letter from Lafourche to one of
of our largest houses, dated the Sd
inst, announces a freeze in the La
fourche and Terrebonne districts on
the night of Monday, the I'd. Grinding
has been arrested, and planters are
putting down their cane in wind rows.
Around Raceland, and perhaps in the
whole tract from Napoleonville down to
Houma, the eyes have been killed half
way down the stock. This will, in
case of warm and damp weather, re-
duce the yield from Is to 25 per cent, !,
according to circumstances, and injure
tie quality of the sugar in even a
greater degree.
There is further news to the effect
that the same freeze has been felt in st.
Mary, though we scarcely think with
equal severity, the larger part of ST.
Mary being protected on the north by
Grand Lake, and, therefore, much less
liable to injury from cold.
If the cold snap has been general,
however, as indeed seems possible, the
crop of the State will be cut short
Is, 600 or 20,0 hogsheads. We shall
doubtless have more specific and ex-
tended advices shortly.

MISS CUsHMAN NOT a PRETTY GIRL

MISS CUSHMAN NOT A PRETTY GIRL.
Time has not dealt gently with Miss
Cushman. She looks at least 70,
and to me she is an older woman in
appearance than Nine. Dejazet, who
has just paid her farewell to the French
stage. I saw her in 1867. She was
then 72 years old, yet looked
younger than Miss Cushman to-day,
though their lives will admit of no COM
parison. Deiazet was not woman of
unquestionable purity, and led very
gay, fast life, fond of wine and late
hours. The floral tributes were few to
Miss Cushman, yet very choice. She
wore q girls de 2oerle silk dress with
fine point lace when she delivered her
speech and $ farewell" !" and in her car
riage, which was borne by four black
steeds, with co1ored driver in livery,
she wore all elegant white English opera
cloak, and appeared in the same the
rest of the evening at the hotel.-Nes0

HINTS FOR YOUNG WRITER'S.


No author of to-day becomes popular
unless he adapts his writings to the
crisp, lively style now in favor with the
public. Remember that this is the age
of telegraphs and stenography, and be
brief. Be pointed. Don't write all
around a subject without hitting it.
State facts, but don't stop to moralize.
It's drowsy subject. Let the reader
do his own dreaming. Eschew prefaces.
Plunge at once into your subject, like
swimmer into cold water. If you have
written sentence that you think par
ticularly fine, consider it carefully ere
you decide not to draw your pen through
it. pet child is often the worst in the
family. Condense. Make sure that
you really have an idea, and then record
it in the shortest possible terms. When
your article is completed, strike out
nine-tenths of the adjectiyes. And, last,
never blame your publisher if he judi
ciously prunes your literary efforts.
He knows what he's about.

GOOD COUNSEL.

Mrs. Jane Grey Swisshelm writes at
follows to the Chicago Tribune:
SIR Permit me to say, through your
columns, to all the women in this city
who are out of employment, that 1 am
not publishing paper or carrying on
any business which requires assistance;
and that, when I was, I never employed
man, woman, boy, beast or machine be-
cause he, she or it wanted work, but
always because the work wanted them !;
that, if / needed 500 women, would
not engage one who came to me with a
top-heavy load of feathers, flowers,
bugles, beads, bows and bands on her
head, presented painted face behind
masque veil, or wore a dress either trail
ing in the mud or befounced, befolded
and befuddled until she looked like q
French hen with her feathers all turned
up, while she complained of hard times
and want of employment.
I do not know any one who wants
copying done, or wishes to employ a
woman to do Office work. have no in
fuence with any publisher by which I
could induce him to publish anybody's
letters, or ''poems," !" or stories. know
no one who has any genteel employment
which he or she is willing to pay large
wages and my time is of importance
to me. am 81 years old; have spent
the fortune my parents left me in help
ing the slave to freedom, and women
into a position where they might help
themselves. I gave my health, and
literally worn out, poor, and entirely
dependent on my own labor for a
living, except when break down alto
gether and am obliged to accept the
assistance my friends are always ready
to give me. I live in very plain lodg-
ings, and wear a very plain dress and
bonnet from ten to fifteen years, be-
cause L cannot afford new; for could
NOT if would, and would not if could,
do that kind of literary work for which
there is ready market end high price.
One-third my work goes into editorial
waste baskets because spoil it with
my idiosyncrasies; but I never grumble,
and try to owe no man dollar. If
were out of work and threatened with
want, I would go into family to rem
der such service as I Icould-cooking,
dishwashing, general housework, or any
specialty-and take such wages as I
could earn, whether it was 81 week or
so cents and no employer should find
me out of my place, wherever that was.
I should never be found in the parlor
when the kitchen was my sphere, and
should take pride in being a good
servant. Such being the standpoint
from which I view life, I cannot, OF
course, feel sympathy with the fine
ladies who come, every day, robbing
me of my time and strength in listening
to their recitals of sentimental sorrows.
So, to all women out of work, say,
take off your furbe1ows and set about
the first honest labor which presents
itself.
