COOP PAY.-Some one has been guess
ing at and gossiping about the moneyed
reward of well known professional men,
Charles O'COnor, it is said, has larger
income from his practice than any law
yer in America, the Jumel case alone
bringing him million and a quarter in
money. Sir RoundelI Palmer, who was
opposed to Evarts at Geneva, makes
$50, 600 Il year, which is more than Ev-
arts average receipts for his New York
practice For defending Johnson, Ev-
arts received SO, 1000, and it is not
thought he will be paid a greater sum
for worrying Tilton. Mr Sergeant Bal
lantine of the London, who has gone to
India to defend the Guicowar of BarbOra
in a prosecution for murder, gets $50
900 for this case alone. Beach, of Til
toms counsel, IS thought to be working
for contingent fee. jeremiah Black
is said to trouble himself more about his
case than his fee, preferring to win and
get nothing Iather than lose and be paid
liberally. Great actors are as well re-
munerated as great lawyers. Booth has
made his Sl2, coo a mo..th. Jefferson has
even passed this sum in the same time
1t is said that in season of forty weeks
Clara Morris will make SO, 600, while
Charlotte Cuslmans lingering farewells
are kind of dramatic bonanza. Bou-
cieault, between his royalty as play
wright and his skill as play actor, is

WOMEN PRINTERS. THAT ''there is
nothing new under the sum-" has been
presumptively demonstrated by The
american Newspaper Reporter. In the
general demand for women's rights and
the numerous complaints that have been
of the exclusion of women from all but
few industries, and from the publicity
given of late to the entrance of women
into occupations usually followed by
men, it has been rashly concluded that
before the agitation there were few. if
any, women printers. But the Reporter
gives quite respectable list OF women
cOmpOsitors, printers and publishers,
some of whom lived fifty years before the
Declaration of Independence. Many of
these succeeded their husbands in the
printing business, but some, at least,
worked in the printing Office before mar
riage and during the lives Of their hus-
bands-and one had obtained so many
civil rights nearly a century ago, that she
formed the finn of Sarah Goddard & Co.,
a man being the company. Among the
women publishers mentioned in the list
are Mrs. Anne Franklin, the wife of Ben
iamin Franklin's brother James, who was
''printer of the Colony" of Rhode Island !;
Mrs. Cornelia Bradford, wife of Andrew
Bradford, of this city; and Mrs. Hasse-
botch, wife of Nicholas Hassebotch, the
first printer ofBaltimore. To these should
have been added the name of Lydia
Bayley, who was for many years the pub
lie printer of the city of Philadelphia.

GODS LOVE.


'.Ihave loved thee with an everlasting love.
o Lord. we know no love ike Thine,
Exhausfless, bOundleSs, free;
Whose limit lies concealed
Beyond eternity;
The tallest mountain tops are low,
The sCundless seas are small,
Compared with Thy unmeasured love
Embracing, bearing all.
For Thou art round us, o, our God
As round the sea the shore;
Our boundary, which no wave of woe
Can pass fOrevermOre.
The drizzling day may tempt our feet
To wander from thy sight;
Yet none, however fOOtsOre grown,
But turns to Thee by night.
Across our pathways deepest gloom,
As from a home, we see
Thy love, burning flame, whose light
Reveals the way TO Thee.
And tend'rer than the tend'rest tones
From lips we love the best,
The melting music of Thy voice
That calls us to our rest
o. may we ever see Thy beams
Upon our widest track.
And hear, when faTthest from Thee stray'd
Thy sweet voice call us back
And from our wand'rings may we turn,
Not solely for the night,
But make Thee, of our gladdest days,
Our glory and delight.

The CRUEL ATTACK ON Miss LOVE
JoY.-The most cruel thing in the hor
rible Brooklyn scandal trial is the per
sistent attempt to blacken the character
of the daughter of the late Hon. Owen
Lovejoy, of Illinois, who was at the
Winsted Hotel with Mr.. Tilton when a
school girl seventeen years old. That
the attempts is thus far unsuccessful is no
excuse for those who are making it.
What the suffering of this young woman
must be while her character is relentless
ly questioned in the presence of Chrisen-
dom can easily be imagined. Messrs.
Evans, Tracy, Hill, Porter, ETC., should
be heartily ashamed of themselves.
There are no fees large enough to pay
for the doing of such disgraceful work.
1t proxies indignation instead of winning
sympathy. If the cause of the defense
is a just one, it can stand without such
wretched props. Mr.. Beecher has about
as much to fear from his indiscreet
friends as from his malicious enemies. -

THE WIFE OF THE LITTLE GIANT

Among some of the noteworthy per-
SONS who have occupied positions under
the Government, first and foremost
stands the handsome face and figure of
Mrs. Stephen A. Douglas, wife of the
Little Giant" of whose memory Hi
nois has always been proud. When the
system of employing women was in its
infancy, Mrs. Douglas was too high spir-
tied and Independent to receive charity,
and yet who was in great need of an in
come, accepted clerkship of $3.50 per
annum. | recollect being introduced
to her on one occasion at n Catholic
Far, over which she presided as Lady
Superior. She was tFitie too gross in
outlines at the time to come strictly I'M
der the head of beautiful, yet could see
how strikingly handsome she must have
been when Douglas wooed her for his
bride. Her neck and arms were fit for n
sculptor, so marvelously white and round
and dimpled were they, and the skin was
so fine that the veins shone through like
glimpses of blue sky. Her hair was dark
and naturally wavy, and she wore it
swept gracefully back from her low,
smooth brow, and wound in a sUmptu-
Gus coil low down on the back of her
head, thus preserving its classical ont
lines
The evening in question, gentleman
stepped up to the table over which she
had suzerainty, and purchased some ar
ticle, valued at perhaps five dollars, and
handed her large bill in payment. Mrs.
Douglas talked in the bright, witty, fas-
cinating manner for which she was cele
brated, but no change was forthcoming.
After a prolonged tete G-tete, the gen
tleman remarked carelessly: "By the
way, Mrs. Douglas, that was a fifty-dol

lady replied, naively, ''but you haven't

had been accidentally % placed over a
placard, on which, in large letters, were
the words, mo change given at this Ia

'Ah!' cried the lady, gleefully, ''this is

CHRIST Is our example in temptation
Nan has no conception Of his need Of
Christ until this truth is made apparent.
Much is said Of Christ's dying but more
should BE- said Of Christ living. Christ

alone. unattended, and apparently un-

ton had been received, bearing himself

devils, and the withdrawal Of the pres

ONE of the most novel legislative doe
uments of the season is a pamphlet just
distributed in the legislature of Missouri
presenting reasons why an amnesty
should be extended to the James and
Younger brothers, the notorious despe-
radoes. The document sets forth the
bitterness of the strife along the borders
of Missouri and Kansas, enumerating in-
stances of barbarity perpetrated by men
on both sides, and alleging that to the
men for whom it asks amnesty many
crimes have been uniustly imputed.

PURE GIRLS AND IMPURE BOYS
Girls, in treating dissipated young men
as equals, do a wrong they can scarcely
realize. Such men should be made to
feel that until they walk with correctness
and honor in the paths Of right, good
people stand alOof from them. Girls who
respect themselves will not be seen with
such men, and will decline to receive
them on the familiar footing Of friend

The MYSTERIES OF A HAIR BRUSH
\ writer in the american Journal Of HI
crOScoPy has been exploring the forests
Of bristles in hair brush surreptitiously
purloined from lady's toilet stand, and
though it contained nothing which we
are accustomed to regard with unquali-
fed horror, the results Of his investiga-
tions prove that there are mysteries or
dinarily undreaIued Of la this simple ap-
pliance OF the toilet. There are conceal
ed in the damp lint Of hair brushes, unless
kept clean by the use of bi-carbonate of
potassa or carbonate of soda, many liv-
ing things. t5y suiull for detection by the
naked eye, some Of which we are told
are OF more than suspicious character,
being known as the originators Of scald
head and other diseases of the scalp.
The author concludes his article by
caution against wetting the head, recon-
mending dry brushing instead He also
recommends the use Of a weak solution
Of earbolic acid, or sulphite Of soda, as a
cleansing material for hair brushes

y WATER FINDER.-A New Hamp-
shire correspondent says that Captain
John S. Godfrey, of Hampshire Falls,
who has gone to California to locate
wells, never fails in his manifestations"
as to where water can be found. He
works thus: With nothing in his hands,
he walks over the ground until the wa
ter, if any exists, is approached, when
he is affected with a nervous twitching
in the limbs, which increases as the wa
ter is neared, he all the time acting very
much like a person with the bars of
magnetic battery in his hands, and fol-
lowing the course of the spring or stream,
whichever way it may lead, regardless of
walls, fences, or other obstacles, and
seeming to be controlled and directed
by some power which he is unable to re-
sist. Captain Godfrey claims no super
natural power in the accomplishment of
his work, but declares it to be simply a
sensitive organism or powerful current
Of electricity in himself, so powerful
as to attract him irresiStibly to living
streams and mineral deposits beneath
the surface. During the late war lie To-
Gated all the wells for the use of the
army underCieneral Howard's command
