WOmen's Work. ="

If women ask men for work, remarks
Miss Emily Faithful, they will get what
they have always got-that kind men do
not want to do themselves. They
will get hard ! work, rougli work,
coarse work, poorly paid work, hope
less work, all the cant about sex not
withstanding. But if they really want to
be independent, If they want to make a
home for themselves, il they want to help
others, let them be- neither afraid nor
ashamed, but, begin with any honest labor
for which, they are paid and work up.
The difficulty with women is not. that
they are idle, but that their habits are so
desultory and their work SO objectless. If
the wretched little child's; iplay which
women call fancy work" could at once
be blotted out of their existence it would
be an incalculable blessing What would
be thought OF, a man Or a grown boy who
could deliberately sit down day after day
and be content to kill time by working
ridiculous little pen-wipers, bead napkin
rings and the like, which no one dreamso
ever using? He would be considered, and
rightly, as either a. foo1'o crazy. If WON
en- claim intellectual equality with man,
they must be content TO be Judged by the
SAME standard. As for work the majority
have not begun to know what it means.
They have thought Of it as a necessity
from which. they hoped some time to es-
cape or they have thought Of it as deg
radiation which the poor for wise purposes
have to endure, but which is not proper
for the delicate or refined to- chine in.con-
tact with. -Nao, Geat,gy for Women. !! Il

An Enterprisisg Boy.

A writer in the Philadelphia Press
While I was standing in one OF the
smaller buildings in the Centennial
grounds the other day there sauntcred in
to the room little boy, poorly but neatly
dressed, whose bright face particularly at
tracted me. began conversation with
him which l think will interest your
readers.
"Do you know" said /, ''what picture
that is!'
That's the old liberty bell.'
"And that" pointing to another.
"Thats old Independence Hail.
l got him to write his name in the visi-
tors book, when he wrote in neat, child
ish hand-'Willic Ferguson, Memphis,

As watched the pen going slowly over
the lines, l exclaimed: what! arc you
all the way from Tennessee? How did
you come on?'
"A man brought me on, but when we
got to Pittsburgh he left me, and came
over by myself
"Did your papa and mamma come
tooy'
Sadly he said, II have no father and
mother''

on
"Well, what are you doing now and
where do you live ?'
Il live in a big boarding house on Bel

GLOW did you get into the Centennial:'

"How are you going to get home?"
"Why, just the way came on,' with
a bright twinkle in his clear blue eye.

Twelve years old, and I came to see

the other in his pocket, with an immense

Cutting OFF Chinese Queues.

The China papers continue to notice the
alarm which prevails in many Chinese
cities respecting the supposed cutting off
of queues by some supernatural agency.
The North CHM Herald says: The phan-
tasy that has been lately prevalent in the
cities of Soochow, Chinkiang, Yangchow
and Nankin, touching the pranks of mis-
chievous spritcs, who have taken to cut
ting off the licges' queues, has spread to
Shanghai. For several weeks little else
has been talked about in the tea shops of
this province and city. These sprltcs are
of paper, cut by magicians to rcsemblcthc
human figure, and dispatched after GER
tain incarnation to create annoyance. On
this occasion they have been directed to
cut the queues of numerous persons in
large cities. They always presagc trouble
in the state, rebellion or some thing of
the kind being sure to follow their appear
.ancc. They became conspicuous. for cN-
ample, few years before the Tapping re-
bellion, and hence it is that officials are not
little pcrturbcd by the present panic,
seeing that it is but one of what are popu-
larly regarded as pOrtcnts of a revolution.
The saw, "A prosperous government is
known by felicitOus occurrences; a gov
eminent about to be overthrow has Omi-
nous pOrtents,' is in evcrymdy's mouth,
and tends to effect such an overthrow.
When droughts, floods, cpidcmics, defeats
and such calamitous occurrences begin,
magic comes to aid in further confusion.
AS an instance of the excitement which
the queue cutting mania is causing among
the Chinese, we may mention that the cir
culation of the Shenpao has increased by
several hundred since ii began. One man
~, II, AZ
Gate, and suddenly Inc heard IA sound as of
rushing wind, when lo!. his queue was
gone. Another case related is of a child
who went out to play, when in a moment
his queue was gone, and he came home,
crying, to relate his loss. However all
this may be, there is no doubt that IA num-
Der of queues do get cut off, and that great
alarm exists in consequence. What
heightens the panic is a saying that man
only lives one hundred days after the
catastrophe has happened to him.

was seized by an alligator, which inflicted
two severe wounds, one on the calf of f,is
leg and another on his thigh. He was res

near him. Attacks of this kind are rare,
except in remote and unfrequented locali-
ties, and the probable explanation of the
unusual ferocity of the alligator is that its

possible to send 1t would seem to me to be
much more economical and better to au-
thorize an increase of the PR sent cavalry
force by $500 privates, but if this is not
deemed advisable, then that the President
be authorized to call out not exceeding Ave

to serve for a period not exceeding six
months. Should this latter authority be
given, would not order out any volunteers
