DARooN.-The New York Herald Of
September 10 speaks as follows Of Miss
Dargon's Deborah:
eAliss Dargon achieved decided sue
cess. In the fourth act Miss Dargon
gained her chief triumph, and in deliy.
ering the curse she fairly reused the
house and carried It with her. But ii
was in the last act that Miss Dargon won
over her auditors. Coming back to view
the desOlation she had prayed for, "Debo'
rah's" heart Is full Of unsatistied ven
geance, but she is overcome by the knowl.
edge that she is held in sweet remem.
brSnce by those she has cursed, and that
4Joseph's" child bears her own name.
The sudden revulsion OF feeling and the
deep penitence Of the woman who has
presumed to call down divine vengeance
on those who really had done her nc
harm was admirably portrayed"

RoBNsoNs MNsrRE1s.-The perform.
ance Of Harry Robinson's Ministries in
the Opera House last night was witnessed
by very fine audience, taking into con-
sideration the disagreeable weather. We
are glad to be able 10 say that the COM
pany Is much more worthy Of commend.
alton than Robinsons last venture in
this direction. The opening part was
entirely too long, but there were some
very pleasant features in it. The clio
was much better, including new
and original acts, which were re.
ceiyed by the audience with great
favor. The finest performances were
the silver statue clog of Walters,
Saddler and Kelly, Murphy's bone
solo, Marsh's trombone solo, Saronay and
Robinson's burlesque Of 1.-THE QuakerS,"
Walters and Kelley's songs and dances
and Walton's musical punch business.
Upon the whole, the company Is strong
one, and will meet with hearty welcome
when they again come this way.

The above reduction varies from 10
per cent to % per cent. In explanation
OF the difference in wages earned by men
in the same line, and making the same
articles, we would state that work is OF.
ten done by the piece, and consequently
some men being more experienced than
others can do more and earn more than
their fellows. This ia the case with boot
and shoe makers, tailors, moldcrs, cigar
makers, compositors and many other
branches oflabor. In the foregoing table
We have endeavored to get at an average
as:near as possible in all departments. As
before stated, the decrease OF values in
all classes OF manufactured goods is the
principle cause OF the general reduction.
AZ rule, it is thought that as high a
rate Of wages is paid as the state Of trade
and prices received by manufacturers will
allow. Another thing, to bc taken in COIL
nection with the table, is the fact that
more money could be earned il the work
had not been limited. In almost every
shop and factory there are exceptionally
high wages paid 10 some, but these are
not numerous enough 10 class separately
WHAT WOMEN RECEIVE.
In all cities women's work and wages
are important items, and thousands Of
women and girls are employed in the
many branches Of industry where their
def fingers and skill can be used to nd
vantage. Their wages are always from
one.third 10 one-halt lower than men for
the same class OF work. Why this is SC
does not belong to the limit Of this article
The following table will show, as near
as can DO Appropriated, the average
weekly earnings Of women:

The fact that wages have materially de-
creased during the past five years is one

extent, and who have been the greatest.
losers, is not so clear. With view OF
ascertaining something definite in tho
matter, an INrELIl0ENcER reporter Wis.
tied number Of leading manufacturers
and others who employ large forces Of
men. women and children in the various
departments Of their business. The de-
cline in wages may be dated from the
panic Of 1878, for up 10 that time no gen.
eral reduction had taken place. There
were few idle men in the country, and the
impetus given our industries by tho In
creased demand resulting from the war,
had not yet died out. But the year Of
panic came, and values Of all classes OF
goods underwent change, and
although the staple articles Of
consumption began 70 fall in price and
continue so from 1870 down, still the
rates Of wages in all branches OF business
ranged about the same as for five years
previous to the winter Of 1874. One Of
The principal causes Of wages holding ID
own 80 long, was the fact that several
trade unions existed, which set the differ
emit rates at their own figures, and main
tanned them as long as the demand for
goods warranted the manufacturers in
paying them. But the time came when
The articles manufactured would mol
bring prices sufficiently large 10 pay all
interested at such rates. Capitalists de-
termined to obtain a reduction or stoE
work, and brought prices for labor dowr
with crash.
RATES OF 10 AND '76 COMPARED.
Below we give the table Of rates show
Ling the difference and the decline in
wages since 1870. For the convenience
Of the reader it has been arranged il

lt.would hardly be fair to average the
earnings oil women, and indeed it would
be next to impossible 10 do 30, as n large
number OF them take work to their homes
and employ only Itheir leisure time.
Others work far into the night, and as
nearly all work is done by the piece, the
amount they can earn depends upon the
time they use in their work, physical en-.
durance, aptness and ability. Thus it is
clear, while one by hard work and skill
can make S. per week, another will earn
but 81. Among the branches OF women's
work we notice furnishing, telegraph,
type.setting, lace sewing, machine sewing
and hair dressing,butthere are compare.
lively few employed in these occupations.
The wages in all the above named de.
partments are much lower than formerly.
The time was when a good machine opc.
rator could earn from $40 to SIS per
week, but machines have become numer.
Gus, and the high rates Of wages once paid
caused many to learn and ct themselves
for the busipeas, consequential the market
became ovetstocked, and the prices paid
came down, The same reduction, pro-
pOrtlonately, has taken place in all class.
cs Of skilled labor.
Another thing in connection with the
reduction, is the fact that small girls are
employed as learners, and are never al.
lowed TO make more than stated sum,
n new force Of beginners always being on
hand to take their places, and the comFe.
tition in trade requires that work be done
at bottom figures. Insome departments,
however, this cannot be done, and when
piece work Is the rule, all depends on
the women themselves as to the amount
Of their earnings within certain limits.
