LOCAL NEWS.

SHEDS ON THE MARKET SQUARE. The
country people who attend the market have
petitioned the City Council to erect sheds on
the market square for their accommodation,
which petition was referred to the Commission
ers of the Sioking Fund. Under Regulations
prescribed BY the Commissioners who have
charge of the market, only the producer can
expose vegetables, &C., fer sale outside of the
market proper; he has also the privilege of
renting beech under the building. This
regulation is made ths every facility may be
extended the country people to induce them to
bring their products to this market rather than
to carry them to Washington, while the licensed
dealer is con6ned to the market under the
building as his regular place of business,
he paying an annual rent therefor The buck
sters are opposed to the erection Of sheds for
the exclusive use of the country people, on the
ground that e. tenants OF the city they are en-
titled to some protection and Wniie ample ac-
commodations could be furoished to all, under
the building, no exclusive privileges should be
established on the outside. Many of the coun
try people who at first rented benches, have
moved out on the square, preferring to staDd
10 the hot sun to dispose of their truck, be-
cause as they say, buyers prefer vegetables, sold
outside thinki0g they are are tresher than those
sold by regular dealers under the market, but
this does not always follow, asst is understood,
trick Is practced to some extent OF selling
stale vegetables outside, after they shall been
exposed for sale several days 90 the inside Of
the market Now, 10 justice to the regular deal
ers, it is proper to say that many of them pro-
cure their vegetables fresh every day, aud sell
them at as reasonable rates as they can be had
ou the outside or court; at the same time 1t Is
important that the Commissioners should give
every encouragement to producers lest they 20
elsewhere with their marketing and leave a
monopoly to the regular dealers The gentle
men who are managing the market with sue
cess,as is eVinced by their reports, will give the
matter that consideration it deserves, and will
do whatever is proper in the premises.

tiles and plaques are now so much used
in house decoration. OF literature, the
general refuge for the distressed, we
need scarcely here speak, except to say
that it might be made a remunerative
profession even by women without the
talent of a George Eliot, did they but
learn to write their own language co..
rectly, or were they willing to work up a
subject in the way that an antiquary
or historian is compelled to de.
Nor is 1t necessary to speak of
painting, wood-engraving, photography,
printing, music-teaching or the other
employments which are being resorted to
with fair measure of success; but a
few modes of employment whose suita-
biIity has still to be tested by expert
of Woman's Work" which has been late
ly compiled by Miss Hubbard. Among
other things, lady couriers are proposed.
This seems sensible enough, as in an or
binary Continental tour the fine gentle
man courier does nothing for the ladies
whose pockets he bleeds so profusely, in
reward for his small attentions, which a
lady could do quite as well, and more
agreeably if she were well read and in
telligent. She would probably travel in
the same carriage with the people she
was attending, and would be a pleasant
and useful companion. Such compan-
ions would be invaluable to the rich
young Americans who come to rush
through Europe and cram all the infor-
nation they can in a hurried tour. 1t is
also suggested that artificial-fly making
and the preparation of microscopic OBJ
jects is pleasant and remunerative work
which can be done at home.
