Those interesting stories We have recently
been reading about elegant ladies in car
riages going 10 certain slaughter houses In
New York OF morning 10 get an "eye
opener" IN the shape Of q glass OF warm
blood fresh from the throat OF q dying bull
lock or sheep, read very we'll, but We sus-
pect they Lack the element of truthfulness.
A correspondents OF the New York Journal OF
Commerce waits TO know something about
the blood-drinking business, and Is informed
by that paper that the stories are ssusa-
tional, and either made out OF whole cloth,
or are great exaggeration of the truth. In
quir!es al the leading slaughter houses de-
yelop the fact that it is very rare for any
one 10 apply for drink Of fresh blood. Once
In great while such an application is made,
mostly from male invalids, although here
and there q female has beea known to try
the experiment.
A correspondent tboughtfnlly suggests
that the Capitol building be thrown open on
Sundays for the inspection OF our centen-
NAL visitors. We see no objection to 1t; on
the contrary, some very good reasons why
1t should be done. Many or our visitors ar
rive here Saturday evening or Sunday morn
ing, and return on Sunday evening or Mon
day morning, and all such are deprived of
the pleasure OF seeing the interior OF our
finest public building. A force of police Is
employ ed daily at the Capitol. including
Sundays, to see that 10 injury Is done to
public property, so that no approximations on
this score need be felt The library OF Con-
gress should likewise be accessible to visi
tors every day In the year, and the bo.ani-
cal gardens be thrown open on Sundays as
well as week days.

Recruits are leaving New York and other
points almost daily to Join Generals Crook
and Terry, now in pursuit OF Sitting Bull
and his bostiles. At last accounts there
wasn't much prospect Of overtaking the lat
ter, so that the ambitious young men who
are so anxious TO win military glory will
probably soon be mustered out OF service,
the Law requiring that they be discharged rs
soon as the present Indian war is over. 1t

The New York working women have an
organization callei the Working Women's
Protective Union" to promote the interests
OF women who obtain q livelihood by en-
Payments other than hou seholi ser vice, and
especially to provide them with legal pro-
lection from the frauds aud I'm positions of
interruptions employers. The organic alton
nss been In existence for sixteen years, and
has been OF great benefit to its members. Un-
Principled employers sometimes discharge
employees with a balance still duo them, and
1t Is the duty of tbs union In such cases to
take measures, legal or otherwise, 10 make
the swi1dlers disgorge.
Probably In no other city Is the sewing
machine swindle perpetrated TO 50 great an
extent as liz New York. Under tue guIse of
Denevolence, INSCRIPTIONS agents persuade
poor women TO purchase machines, to be
paid for In weekly or monthly instruments,
and induce them to sligo q paper which Is
but lease of q machine To them at IS per
month, while verbal promise Is given that
when they have paid sl2 or more rent 1t is
TO become their ro2erty. Ia Gaze of q fall
ure TO pay ore months instalmsat the agent
repossesses himself OF the machine, and the
buyer has no redress. Promises are fire.
quently held out by agents that work will
be furnished purchasers until Ia schines are
paid for. The small pittancs of wages Is
credited against the machine, ant the en-
ploye Is either Obliged TO work In the direst
poverty or see her machine seizet and her
work 60 for nothing. Is is this class of
wrongs that the Union endeavors to right,
and public opinion generally being on ths
weaker side, Its efforts are usually quite
successful. A similar association In every
large city would do much TO protect work
ing women from tie fmposiiions of cheats
and swindlers

Money voluntarily paid with full
knowledge of the facts and circum-
stances of the case, though in igno-
rance of legal rights, cannot be re-
covered back.

Payment to one partner is pay
ment to both, unless strictly forbid

A debtor has the right lat the time
of making a payment,to direct as to
what debt it shall be applied.
If a debtor fails to make such ap-
plication, the creditor may apply the
money paid upon any demand against

ment agreed upon, the debtor must
seek the creditor at his domicile Of
place of business.
Upon the sale of an article, pay
ment is to be made on delivery, un.
less some other time be specified.
Allowing time for payment will

Did YOU ever find lying in some
neglected spot, buried amongst the
grass, perhaps, some old tool, which
you remember, sharp and bright land
useful, but which is now covered
with rust ard useless The rust and
the dull edge have come of its long
rest. Had it been constantly used
it might have been broken, but it
never would have been that dull
useless thing while ii lasted.
1t is just so with human beings.
inaction for them is worse than hard
WORK. Unused talents rust. The
mind That is never sharpened grows
dull. One who has not done what
he might, finds his power gone at
last. Sometimes, when mind lies
useless and hands are folded, the soul
rusts also. We don't know St.Simon' s
history, but we doubt il he was as
worthy a saint as many another, just
because he liTed at the top of pill
lar, and, to quote Miss Bradden.
''had his meals sent up to him in a
basket" Had he even come down
for his food, he might have found
some chance of being useful.
There is work in the world for
every mind, and heart, and body.
No one knows his own strength, how
good his work may be, or what his
recompense but do not for that rea-
son lie in mouldy corner of the
world and rust.
a mind that has been strained un-
I'll its chords have snapped is better
than one over which moth and mil
dew have cTept, and broken heart
better than a rusted one.
