Enemies Yet Friends.

While Pickett's division was before
Newbern, Gen. Pickett received, by flag
of truce, letter from gentleman in Bos-
ton, accompanied by package of money
containing $4,000, in which the writer
stated that he had brother, Federal
officer, in the Libby prison that his
brother was former comrade of Pickett
in the Mexican war, aud appealed to
him by the friendship of their old days
to forward the money to his brother.
The appeal touched the heart of the
soldier, and he at once dispatched an
orderly with the money to the officer.
The orderly, tempted by the unusual
sight of so many greenbacks, deserted
to the lines and escaped with the booty.
AS soon as Pickett heard of the deser-
tion he Immediately went to Richmond,
and by mortgage upon his Turkey
island property succeeded in borrowing
s., 900, which he carried to the prisoner
with an explanation of andapology for the
delay. The officer, when he learned by
what means the general had raised the
money, declined to accept 81 900 of it;
but Gen. Pickett compelled him to do
80. The two soldiers then talked over
the days of the past, when together they
fought under the same flag, and as the
conversation ripened into a friendly
confidence, the prisoner frankly told the
general that his object was to escape, if
possible, and that he intended using
some of the money he had paid him in
the effort The general checked him at
once, by telling him that he could not
receive his confidence in such matter.
That the money was his own, and that
he had right to do with it as he pleased,
but it would be improper for him to be-
come party to his plans. He then left.
The prisoner did escape. Gen. Picketts
estate was sold to satisfy the mortgage
which he had executed.

Economical Women,

The Fitchburg (Mass.) Sentinel has
this striking statement: Since we pub
lished the statement few days ago re-
specting lady in Westminster whose
annual expenses for clothing did not ex-
ceed eleven dollars per annum, one of
our Fitchburg ladies, in high social
position, has stated that her annual ex-
pense for clothing, doctors, and den
lists bills for the past eleven years has
averaged less than seven dollars per
annum. 1t is evident that neither one
of these ladies is responsible for the
panic, through which, we are now pass
ing, for their extravagance, and it is re-
freshing to know in these fearful times
of bankruptcy and dishonesty that some
high-born ladies can declare their limo.

The Right Sort Of a wife.

"Jennie June" writes to the Balti-
more american /: Thousands of Ameri-
cans have spent the few thousand dol
lars which stood between them and pow
erty in European trip, because wife
and daughters had not sufficient occupa-
ton to make them feel the necessity of
staying at home. We frequently hear it
said: "Why, it is necessary to go
abroad; we can live cheaper there than
we can at home" Yes, if living on the
results of some other persons labor is
all that we have to do, but women who
have homes and husbands should do
something more than this--they should
work in their homes, and add the value
Of their labor to the raw material which
the earnings of the man purchases.
One New York woman, not quite
spoiled, has worked this out for herself
very satisfactorily, and her example may
stimulate others. Some time ago she
lived with her husband and two daugh-
ters-one grown, the other still at school
in nice house, on good side street,
and kept two servants; not an extensive
establishment, but enough with her
small family to obviate the necessity for
much exertion on her part When the
eldest daughter left school Qike all other
daughters who leave scbooD, she wanted
to go to Europe, and the mother, worked
upon by sympathizing friends, soon be-
came convinced that it was necessary for
the two daughters health and her own
(though persons more capable of doing
Justice to excellent roast beef never
lived) that they should all go to Europe,
and to Europe they accordingly went;
the husband giving up the house and
establishing himself in bachelor quar-
ters.
But the realization of the dream was
not go pleasant as anticipated; or per-
haps the wife found that the husband
became reconciled to their absence too
early. At any rate, after six months of
absence, she returned without being sent
for, to find her husband depressed by
business difficulties, his tenants gone
without having paid the rent, and much
of the nice furniture ruined. Fortu-
nately, she belonged to good old stock,
who, when they see their duty, do it.
She rescued what she could of the furni-
ture, and transferred it to a pretty, but
very unostentatious I" fiat up town,
above the ffties, and with the furniture
out of the way and reduced rental,
managed to secure good, regularly
paying tenant.
When the daughters proposed going
to the intelligence Office after "help,
she said:
"No, my daughters; we willhelp each
other, md in that way help papa out of
his difficulties"
So they organized their modern house
hold on simple but very practical foot
ing, which has proved delightful. They
might very we'll hire all the help they
choose now, but they would not do it on
any account. They laughingly declare
that their firm has resumed specie pay
ments, for their expenses are so light
compared with what they were formerly,
that money is plentiful, and the papa
insists, as the housework is so well done,
upon giving, as an allowance for the
girls, double the amount he formerly
paid in wages. 1 am sorry to say that
that this pate woman is not a full
blooded New Yorker. She was born in
New England.

Extravagance i'm Dress.

The extravaganza of dress, which be-
comes greater from day to day, alarms
persons of moderate means. They for
get that there are several degrees in the
fashions, and that the plain and unpre,
tentious lady, who desires to go into
society, is not obliged to have the same
dress or diamonds as are worn by the
wealthy. The above, although from a
Paris paper and relating to that city, is
equally applicable to this country, as
many an unfortunate husband can tes.
