Business Edueation and e~ualiacation.

Business qualities, TOO, are needed in a house
hold. In the upper classes OF society, he knew,
1t was reek0ned questionable 10 do anything
practical, except, indeed, to go shopping, and
that, he thought, was about the most unpraetleai
thing be knew of. They prided themselves ON do
ing nothing. 4 lady Of this country had once
expressed to him her great surprise at having no
ticed, while on a visit to the wife of Prince Bis
marek, thar she went about her house with a
bunch OF keys at her waist and personally super
intended the affairs of her own honseanld. In
Germany that bunch Of keys Is regarded more
ornamental than splendid diamonds. The dia-
monds merely prove that the lady has q rich hus-
band. The keys prove that she has elevated her
self above the rank Of a drone IN society. ZAP
plause-I Perhaps the very spirit that makes
them wear those punches of keys is a strong at
traction to their future husbands; for to any SEN
sible man those keys would be a strong attraction.
And If in our own society ladies would wear
punches of keys rather than costly diamonds, it
would be greatly improved. [Applause.I At
the beginning Of the last century a lady educator
of great experience said TO the first Napoleon, who
was visiting her institution, that any educational
system is wrong which does not educate mothers.
- Madam, - said be, Sc there is in that remark wis
dom of a whole science. What a nation wants Is
mothers" But at what age shall this education
be begun? 4 lady once asked the same question
of q celebrated teacher, and be asked her in re-
ply how old her child was. -Four years, she
answered. "Then, madam, said be, 'you have
lost four years already" And the remark was q
true one, for in the first ten years of our lives, 1t
not in the first FIVE, more is learned than in any
other period of corresponding length. And we
learn it almost entirely from our mothers. While
the father works, the mother teaches. She opens
our eyes to see, and our minds to understand.
The germs of good or evil she first plants IN our
souls. The home and the nursery are the first
school, and the mother is its genius. What, then,
should our girls learn to fit them for this position ?
They should learn the dignity of work. Our
girls need a just understanding of the dignity OF
work. The greatest danger of woman in this
country is the emptiness of her daily life.-From

GENERAL SHERMAN.-General Sherman is In
this city, looking thin and pale. 1t is a growing
superstition that he will be the nominee of one
party or the other, though he sturdily says no to
both. Still, 1 know that his most intimate
friends, while they get no comfort from him in
the premises, have never abandoned the idea of
bringing him forward, in the extremity of one
party or the other, as an independent candidate,
Democratic by tradition, but in support of the
progress and liberalization already attained.
Sherman had to keep nine servants in WASH
ington, of whom he gets rid of one half in st.
LOUIS. He sold his property here for a very
small sum in cash, taking for the rest unimproved
real estate in a more central part of the city. AS
he was about to go, the creditors of the cake
baker who supplied his daughters wedding had
so little delicacy that they garnisheed the bill, and
would have attached his property for it, had not
his wife been the negotiator and kept a separate
estate. The Catholicism of the Sherman family
is confined to the female branch. The General
is not a sectarian, and was reared in affinity with
the Protestant Church. If he was a Catholic,
with his temperament and spontaneity, there
would be DO cOncealment about it. l have heard
ladies say, who knew Mrs. Sherman best, that
she said she would not return to Washington
while her children were young and their minds
uniformed, g not if they would make the General
President A gentleman told me to day that
Sherman said, when he reached st. Louis, that
his furniture was just Sufficient to furnish his
house :" and he added, t if l had been COM
PEELED to buy more, it would have hampered me"

Uncle Billy's Objections to Civil Rights.

L " interviewed Uncle Billy, a good old col.
ored friend of mine, the other day, on the ques-
ton Of civil rights.
"Don't want muffin mo-" said Uncle Billy.
Sc Got too much already fur dis niggah."
"How is that, Uncle Billy? Is it not a good
thing to be equal before the law
"Now, Marse Boss - grunted Billy, plaintively,
90 dar's fist whar de misery comes In. We're
ekal befo' de law, an dar yer hit our weak pint.
Befo' de waw, eff niggah stole chicken an pig, yer
jerked him up, guy him thirty-nine lashes, an let
him go. But jist let a cullud pusson try it now
Yer hauls him fore court, and sends him to de
penitentiary, list like he wus one of yer poor
white trash. OATS what tits to be ekal fore de
law 2"
l suggested to Uncle Billy that this might be
obyiated by being a little more honest.
"Marse Boss" interrupted Billy. a we can't
run agin Natur'. It's nat'ral fur niggah to steal
pig and chicken, fryin' size. Yer knows it is, an
faint no use tryin' to stop us. Now we uns are
willin' to let you uns alone, and you all jist let
us alone on dis pint. We're pOtcTfNl tCeak on
dis pint, Marse Boss"
Just here a perverse and disloyal spirit tempted
me to hint to Uncle Billy that the coIored people
were indebted to their Republican friends for this
change in their status.
well, den, Ma2se Boss - said he, 81 all Ise got
to say is, de laws got to be changed. Mus hab
a law for de white man and a law for de black
man"
Strange as it may seem, some Of our best citi-
zens echo Uncle Billy's sentiment. They are in
clined to view the Negroes minor transgressions
in q lenient light, and 1 kRGis that some of our
Democratic judges impose lighter penalties upon
colored men for small offenses than they would
do In cases where the guilty parties were white.
Before Uncle Billy left L asked him how he
would like to sit down at the table with white
folks in the hotels.
Great Moses 2" exclaimed the good old man.
a. allow youse tryin' to make fun of dis chile.
Why, you knows yourself dat no cullod pussin
ebber lets a white man see EN- eat of dey kin
holp it"
This is strictly true. The ordinary Southern
negro will not eat in the presence of a white
spectator.
Well, Uncle Billy" l said, "it is very evil
dent that you don't want any civil rights"
"Not anything mo-, z tank you, +" replied Billy.

A STRANGE COURT SCENE.-In England, the
other day, a jury found Mary Lancaster guilty of
the murder of her husband. The deceased had
long led Mary a wretched life, and coming home
drunk one day, he kicked over the meat which she
was preparing for bis supper and set about thrash
ing her. Maddened by this treatment. she threw
a Sharpening steel at him, the resulting wound
causing his death. Indicted, arraigned, and
tried, she was found guilty, whereupon the judge
of the Chester Assizes, reviewed the case in strong,
earnest language, contrasting the patient suffer
ing, the untiring industry of the woman with the
shiftlessness and brutality of her husband. and
adding: "All the real right, in this case was
yours, and all the real wrong your husbands,
and God forbid that | should punish you. l will
be no party to it. / will not even make this
judgment complete. l will not allow it to be said
that you are a convicted felon, for a conviction is
not complete until a sentence is passed, and mean
to pass no sentence at all. | shall merely ask you
to enter into your own recognizances to come up
for Judgment if called upon, and nobody in the
world will ever call upon you-God forbid they
ever should" At this announcement the Court
room rang with cheers.

Is the Hoosao Tunnel a White Elephant ?

The Hoosac Tunnel appears to be a white ele-
plant" on the hands of the people of Massachu-
sets. After years of work and the expenditure
of millions of dollars in its construction, the Bos-
ton Journal says that several millions more will
have to be expended. at will require time, ex-
perience and wisdom, not only to utilize the tun-
mel, but to utilize the money of the people already
expended, SO that the tunnel may bring 20 the
people at large, if not directly to the State Treas
ury, a measure of compensation for what it has
cost" The experience of Massachusetts, and
other States in railroad legislation has borne some
good fruit, at least in the former State. The
danger of giving to corporations absolute and I'M
restrained control of highways, which must from
their very nature become " monopolies, J." whether
used as such or not, has warned the Legislature
not to give up the Hoosac tunnel to any one cor
p~oration under a contract which shall exclude a
connecting road from enjoying the advantages to
be derived therefrom. 10 this end it is proposed
that the State shall always retain a controlling
influence in the tunnel, but the details of the
plan under which the right of way shall be leased
to railroad companies afford much food for discus
sion. The fact of the matter Is that it will be
much easier to grant rights to corporations with
out restrictions, as charters are usually granted,
than it is to devise a plan which, while withhold
ing exclusive privileges, shall yet tempt corpora
tions to use their money in establishing desirable
lines for the transportation of freight and passen-
gers. This is the problem which Massachusetts
legislators have to solve.-Pha. Ledger.

Mrs. Magruder viii probably leave DIR. Hop
kins' church and go hereafter to the Presbyterian
Westinghouse. DIR. Hopkins last week had a
frightful boil on his leg, and he experienced very
severe pain when he tried to walk. While he
was sitting in his study on Friday, Mrs. Magruder
called and was ushered into the parlor. The
servant went up the back stairs to tell the doctor,
and while she was on her way the doctor started
down the front stairs to get a drink of water. 1t
hurt him so much to walk upon the steps that he
concluded to slide down the banisters on his
stomach and so, after looking carefully over the
landing to satisfy himself that nobody was about,
he mounted the banister and began to descend.
The stairs ran directly past the parlor door, and
Mrs. Magruder was amazed to SEQ the clergyman
descending with great ~rapidity, and in that sing
ular fashion. 1t seems that the servant girl had
placed a coal-scuttle by the newell post while she
went for the doctor, and as he descended with
awful velocity he alighted in the scuttle and fell
to the floor. Without being aware of the pres
ence of the visitor, he leaped up in rage, and ex-
claiming, chang that woman - he gave the
scuttle a kick which sent it whirling into the
parlor. where it brought up in Mrs. Magruder's
lap. Of course she thought the demonstration
and the CALCULATIONS were intended for her, and
after rising to her feet and shaking her umbrella
at her pastor, she shouted "If you kick another
coal-scuttle at me I'll punch the stufin out of you
with this yer umbrelI - She emerged from the
front door with the conviction that Presbyterian
ism was the only religion for her.-Baptist Weekly.
