United States, but the csnsus gives list
of twenty-five important industries III
which over two million women are EN-
ployed. There is no lack of avenues if
women qualify themselves for it.

Coal OIL LAMPS IN POSTAL KALI
WAY Cause.-The danger Of using coal
oil lamps in postal railway cars has not
only been frequently illustrated by the
destruction of ears and mails within the
past few months, but also by the burning
to death of several postal railway clerks,
the case Of the clerl, burned to death near
Grafton. West Virginia, last simmer, be
ing Vet fresh in the minds Of our readers
1t is stated the postoilice authorities
have recommended to the
railway companies having postal cars on
their lines the use of what is commonly
known as the German student lamp,
which burns oil in the summer, with
sufficient admixturc of kerosene in cold
weather to prevent coniiagrstion.
Whether this will fully meet the want
is yet to be ascertained, butt is certainly
important that some kind of substitute
for coal oil should be adopted by railroad
companies carrying the mails.

aChen you don't believe 1t, in the face OF
our own declarations?
Only two weeks ago we said in these
columns:
We have repeatedly explained that we are
not in favor of indefinite expansion or of per-
petually irredeema ble paper currency. Our
resolutions, offered in the Opposition State
convention, co nmenced as follows:
"WHEREAs, 1t is admitted that our national
currency should be made to cor, espond in rdlue
with the currency Of the rest Of the ,corld; but
lnasmuch as the rate at which foreign coun-
tries are Wiling to acc pit our currency in ex-
change for tLer own depends upon their con-
fdence in Our financial stability, the degree oil
our prosperity. the amount of our exports, and
to some extent upon their sympathy or want Of
sympathy with our free Institutions
But we held hat the true way to reach specie
payments was not by crushing out the int rests
OF the country but by promoting them. We
said:
Resolred, Thot in the judgment of this con
vv-ntion the true road to specie payments is
through economical administration OF the gov
ernment, reduced taxation, restored prosperity,
developed resources, and increased expectation
OF the products of our ineXhaustible fields, tor
est and mines.
Could anything be palmer than that?

MODEST BEECHFR.


Henry Ward Beecher has at length
declined the reception proposed to be
rendered him at the Academy of Music
in Brooklyn. 1t is not out of place 10
say 10 this connection that several min
listers Of the Presbyterian, Methodist,
Baptist and other denominations solic-
tied to take part in the honors proposed
to be paid 10 the reverend sedueer had
emphatically declined. Beecher has
been having a jolly time up in the noun
tains and disported himself in q very I'M
seemly manner. His conduct was more
like that Of a Snowman than q minister
Of the gospel and has disguised a good
many people who have heretofore stood
up to him. The readiness with which be
agreed to enter a mol. pros. in a suit
which he instituted against Moulton to
break him down as q witness excites un.
favorable comment. He now seems anx.
ious to forget everything and have every.
body else do the same. The public can.
not aud will not forget the course he has
pursued, and though be may draw crowds
TO hear him through curiosity, bis use.
f%ulness, if he ever had any, is at an end.
and the sooner he allows the world to
forget him, by stepping down from the
stage, the better.

Committee Chamber of Commerce.
These gentlemen, Hon. Il. Casey Young
and General R. F. Patterson, as an
nounced in the LEDGER Of the 18th, left
here that morning for Washington at the
earnest request of members of the Cham
Der of Commerce to see if the appro-
priation for the Memphis custom-house
already made could possibly be saved.
The time expires on the first Of October,
when all such moneys are covered into
the treasury unless work has already
been begun. The work would have been
commenced long ago but for the quib-
bling Of that mythical concern known as
the Memphis F~reighting Company. The
Secretary of the Treasury has doubtless
given the act of Congress a liberal con
struction, perhaps constituting the filing
Of plans Gs a beginning Of work. II is
likely that Congress will yet have to con-
denim the property to make the deed
above'the shadow Of q doubt. We con
graduate Messrs. Young and Patterson
upon the successful issue Of their efforts
and hope that within a few months the
work on q new custom-honse may begin
in earnest.
