"TreaSury Girls.o

A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Enquirer writes from Washington {:
"Treasury girls" be it known, are not
all young in fact, some of them, no
doubt, have children as old as your cor
respondent, while many are yet in the
full bloom of girlhood, and more have
entered the cypress-hung portals of old
maidenhood, or have worn, or still wear,
the widows weeds. Still, according to
ye festive correspondent, all ladies en-
gagged in the Treasury department are
"girls," even though they be gray
haired n2atrcns and mothers of families.
AS I have said, "Treasury girls" are
not all either young or pretty, as is gen.
orally supposed, and in looking over the
"sea of faces" I have discovered but
few who look as though their owners
consider life as great Irritation made up
of little fiirtations F.; on the contrary, the
majority of faces belonging to the '"Treas-
ury girls bear the impress of an earnest
purpose earnestly pursued, while many
are evidently shadowed by sorrow or
disappointment in fact, the ladies who
are engaged in the Treasury department
are only small detachment of the great
army of women who find themselves de-
pendent upon their own resources, and
have, as is natural, sought out the best
place they could command. The aver
age Treasury girl" does not go to work
in silk and lace, according to the popular
idea, but, on the contrary, wears loose
sack and overdress of some light wash
goods over a worsted skirt, and, by way
of taking all romance out of the matter,
carries little lunch done up in paper
or pinned up in a red napkin. Neither
do all "Treasury girls" preserve the
lines of beauty in form or face on the
contrary, there are thin, angular, and
perpendicular women among them, and
there are some who arc burdened with
flesh {; most certainly there are many
who evidently did not win their positions
by means of personal beauty.

Strange Accident to an Elephant,

An unfortunate and unprecedented &C
cident occurred Mt the Geological Gar
dens in the Regents Park, London, to
one of the elephants. The female African
elephant, being very fidgetty and rest
less, is usually tethered by ring round
one of her fore feet to the corner of her
stall while the elephant-house is being
cleaned out i'll the morning. On the day
in question, about half-past eight A. NJ,
the keepers were alarmed by this ele-
phant calling out suddenly, rs if in great
pain, and on running to the spot found
that she had actually torn off the top of
her trunk. 1t seems that she had thrust
the end of her trunk underneath the
ring by which her foot was confined, and
then, pulling against the ring with her
foot, hurt her trunk. This caused her
to exert such force in the attempt to
withdraw her trunk that the end of this
organ was torn off in the effort. For
some time after this extraordinary event
the elephant was in great pain and very
uneasy. She has now begun to feed
again, and seems likely to recover the
use OF her trunk, rs the wound has not
ilifiamcd much, and is gradually healing
over.

4 Bridal Tour.

There came one day to little inland
town in Kentucky young rural couple
who had just been bound by the "silken
bonds" Their destination was the
depot, and the bridegroom was evidently
quite impatient for fear the train should
arrive before he could reach the Office.
Buying one ticket, they stood on the
platform until the train had stopped.
When they entered the car the bride
groom found his bride seat, kissed her
most affectionately, bade her "good
bye" and going out, seated himself on a
box and commenced whiting most
vigorously. He watched the train out
of sight, regret depicted on his face,
when bystander, thinking the whole
proceeding rather strange, resolved to
interview him. Approaching him care
lessly, and chewing a straw to keep up
his courage, he said
"Been gettin' married lateIy9'
Yes," said he, "me and Sallie got
spliced this mornin'."
"Was that her you put on the train2"
eyes," with q sigh.
GA likely lookin' gal," said our ques
toner. "Anybody sick, that she had to
go away?"
"No;" but here he grew confidential.
"You see me and Sallie had heard that
everybody when they got married took
bridal tour. So told Sallie I hadn' t
money enough for both of us to go, but
she shouldn't be knocked out of hern.
So jist brought her down here, bought
her ticket and sent her on n visit to some
of her folks, and thought L might get
some work harvestin' till she got back. "
That afternoon found him busily at
work, and when in day or two after
Sallie came back, he welcomed her
cordially and affectionately, and hand in
hand they started down the dusty road
to their new home and duties.

Curious Story.

Massachusetts, papers are printing tho
following story John Manning, a young
man of North Adams, went to work in
some print works in New York about six
weeks ago, and did the work of two men
who had been discharged. After he had
been in his new situation week, he was
invited by these men to go with them on
an excursion. The next day his employ
ers missed him, and his continued alb
sence led them to think that something
was wrong. A search was made, which
resulted in finding him in q piece of
woods not far from the city, raving mad
and almost dead from exposure. Word
was sent to his father, and he was taken
home in q sad condition, it requiring
four men ut times to prevent him harm
ing himself Or others, and he had to be
sent to the Northampton asylum. The
physicians having charge of the case
pronounce it a bad one. The insanity is
supposed to have been the result Of
some drug given him maliciously by the
men with whom he was last seen. When
found he had been robbed of his watch
and some money.

The Treatment of Habitual Drunkards.

The reports which have appeared of
the short address of Sir Thomas Watson
on the occasion of the recent deputation
to Mr.. Gross gives an imperfect idea of
his words and meaning. Short as was
his statement, as under the circumstances
was useful, it was so pregnant with
meaning and will have SO permanent
value that we take an opportunity of
presenting the actual words: SIR-My
humble advocacy of this petition may be
expressed in O very few sentences. I
must preface them by saying that, al
though for much the greater part of my
long professional life 1 was profoundly
incredulous of the permanent reforma-
tion of habitual drunkards, facts have
more recently come to my knowledge
which have made me an almost sanguine
convert to q better hope and belief.
Among habitual drunkards there are
many in whom what was begun as a vice
passes into frightful bodily and mental
disease. The frequent use of intoxicat-
ing liquors in excess, and especially of
alcoholic drinks, leads at length to an
accumulation of the specific poison of al
cohol within the system, so that the
bodily tissues, which include the brain,
becomes so impregnated, so charged
with the poison, or so affected somehow,
as to produce degree of craving which
the unhappy dipsomaniac-for 80 he is
rightly called-is utterly unable to resist
control. So imperative is this morbid
craving, that in some instances, by his
own confession, he could not refrain
from swallowing the customary stimulus
even if he were certain that death would
be the instant result. Now, of such
persons, it is found that, if they can be
strictly debarred from all access to alco-
hoic drinks, they will surely, though
slowly, recover from this form of mania !;
that the Incorporated poison will be
gradually dislodged and eliminated from
the system by the silent and sole efficacy
of that benefcent force which we medi-
cal men acknowledge so thankfully, the
Wis medicatrix natur@ and the wretched
able, and in no small percentage of cases
willing, and even anxious, to abandon
the vice which had been the first step to-
ward the induction of the maniacal dis
ease. Now, if this be so-and from all
that have seen and heard and read on
the subject, from experience gathered on
large scale in America, from the teach
ings of some of our own lunatic asylums,
and from the testimony of private OBJ
servers-I am fully persuaded that it is
so; I might even appeal on this point to
some members of the deputation now
present-then conceive that the sane
tioning, by some Legislative measure, of
retreats and reformatories, wherein, at
the instance of his relations or friends,
or by his own wish, or by the sentence
of a magistrate, such sufferer could be
legally detained for a time (Which has
been estimated to be between three and
twelve months, though, in my judgment,
three months would be far too little, and,
of course, ample provision should be
made against any possible ahnse of snch
detention), such Legislative action, I say,
less than a national blessing. g.-Britisi

They Two.

A reader Of n magazine fell in with
the following lines:
IDENTITY.
Somewhere-in desoa,e, wide swept space
In twilight land, in no-msns land
Two hu,rying shapes met face to face,
And bade each other stand.
"And who are you ?" cried one, agape,
Shuddering in the cleaning light.
81 do not KNOW" said the second shape,
81 only died last night"
After pondering them for three days
his muse began to hum in the same tune,
and the following was found upon his
table the morning after he was sent to
n private asylum:
COULDN'T TELL.
Nowhere-id the midnight, wind-swept street,
In Middle town, in No Rum town
Two staggering shapes, colliding, meet,
And kuock each other down.
Say, who are you ?" cries one, when up,
Hiccoughing, with druukon face.
- don't (hic) know" says t'other chap,
"Tm stranger n this place."
