Mary Clemner on Washington Society.

Still the women assembled in the Su-
preme Court looked better than the
men. After surveying them both, this
was my unprejudieed conclusion. The
occasion had brought out many grand
DANES. How splendid they looked with
their clear compilations, bright eyes,
and gray hair piled high above their
brows, crowned with roses and feathers!
We needn't go back to Martha Wash
ington, to "Dolly" Madison, or any
other of those much-lauded danes of
former generations, to find majesty and
beauty. Oh, no; Washington is full of
it to-day. Full of women who have
forgotten more than their grandmothers
ever knew, although they knew quite
enough for their time; of women whose
splendid intelligence brightens every
charm and makes them equal comrades
of thoughtful men. You may not meet
them on the street, but you will find
them on occasions, and here they were
this morning, listening to William NJ.
Evarts, listening to him as if he were a
siren. And they weren't all gray
haired. Amid others fair and young sat
one beside her father, a beautiful
daughter of New York, her intellectual
features and soft, almost sad, eyes kind
ling with interest as she leaned her lily
face upon her graceful hand. The
daughter of an Ex-Governor and ex-
Senator, on her first youth, was lavished
more homage than often falls to the lot
of woman. Ouly the rarest woman could
have come through those fiowery passes
to where she stands, to-day, in the full
bloom of womanhood, the constant
companion and assistant of her father,
the friend of ber mother, the teacher OF
her brother. And her own ideal knight
-"Wearing the white flower of blame
less life"-where is he? Somewhere in
the universe, surely. Though sailing in
her native ether, he may not yet have
reached her sphere.-Letter to the Gin
cinpdti Commercial.

DEATH IN THE TREADLE.-An emf
nent physician, whose attention had
been frequently called to the effect upon
the health of women dependent upon
the use of sewing machines, and the
prevalence of a certain class of diseases
among sewing women, has come to the
conclusion that "a majority of women
who make their living by the use of the
common sewing machines, with the
crank motion treadle, are suffering from
some disease incident to the sex, that
often terminates fatally, or may leave
them confirmed invalids, with little
hope of again enjoying the happiness of
perfect health. OF 1000 women inter-
viewed, only thirteen were found to
possess perfect health" The trouble,
he assures us, is caused by the monot-
ony of the crank motion, which causes
the feet to move a uniform distance, af-
fecting the limbs and lower portions OF
the body alike every revolution, and al
ways acting on the same muscles with
no variation. This process, carried to
| fatigue or excess, and long continued,
must result in disease of the most sensi-
tive organs affected. The crank motion,
as used in sewing machines, causes a
similar action of the muscles to that oi
jumping as compared to walking. Both
| feet are made to move at once in given
direction, as in the former, while in the
latter one at time. Jumping fatigues
at once, while walking is the most
healthy and invigorating exercise
known; and it is observed to produce
less fatigue on uneven than on leve
ground, by varying the motions from
necessity.

ence Kiss the poor babies for me, and give
love TO Judy and remembranees TO john"
Edna was as one petrified.
"I have another duty to live for now,"
she said, as the lines of her face hard
ened and deep resolve stamped itself in
her blazing eyes. "I must live for my
mother as we'll as for my children and
myself"
"Poor child ! Your hands are tied,
and you cannot even look out for your
self" thought Sue, as she wiped her
swollen eyes and addressed herself to
the care of the children.
81 have no time for the luxury of sor-
row." said Edna, ''and 1 must concen-
trate my thoughts upon my work"
"Of course your entertainment can
not be given now |" said her friend.
"Of course it must be given now, and
I will furnish the mental food for which
the protectors and supporters of women
will pay best"
"Then it will be a ballet dance or a
minstrel show"
Edna blushed with indignation.
"You know 1 did not mean that !" she
said, mphatically. "I mean that I
must be gay and cheerful and brilliant
and witty, whether 1 possess the incli-
nation and ability or not"
The evening for the entertainment
found the meeting ground filled with an
array of expectant miners. Candles
sputtered in the moonlight air, and bon
fires glowed here and there beside a
massive bowlder.
John Smith was in his glory. He had
decided from the beginning to be door
keeper, if such a person there could be
where door was not, and Edna decided
otherwise to no purpose.
Was she not his lawful, welded wife,
and did not her earnings belong of right
to the legal head of the family?

EDUCATION OF WoMEN.-The seven
teen universities of Italy are now open
to women. So is the SarbOune in
France. Switzerland, Sweden, and
Norway propose to throw open the
doors of their highest educational insti-
tutioDs to women. But in America,
where it Is boasted that women are
treated with more consideration than in
any other country, women are yet ex-
cluded from the advantages of instruc-
tion in many of the best colleges and
universities. Harvard has gone so far
as to consent to measure their educa-
tional growth occasionally, but the
privileges of Harvard-the advantage of
actual study and training within its
walls-is not yet conceded; but the day
is not far off when educational Unequal
tiles will be done away, and women
have, what they are entitled to, equal
chances to demonstrate their capacity
for the highest prOfessions.-Cincinnati
Commercial.

SINGING IN THE Pharmaceutical
singing in the family. Begin when the
child is not yet three years old. The
songs and hymns your mother sang,
bring them all back to your memory,
aud teach them to your little ones; mix
them altogether, to meet the similar
moods, as in after life they come over
US so mysteriously sometimes. Many a
time and oft, in the very whirl of busi-
ness, in the sunshine and gayety of the
street, and amid the splendor of the
drives in a park, some little thing
wakes up the memories of early youth
the old mill, the cool spring, the
shady tree by the chool-house-and
the next instant we almost see again
the ruddy CHEEKS, the smiling faces,
and the merry eyes of schoolmates,
some gray-headed now, "most lie mould
ering in the grave" "And the song
your mother sang" springs unbidden to
the lips, and soothes and sweetens all
these memories. At other times, amid
the crushing mishaps of business, a
merry ditty of the olden time pops up
it's little head, breaks in upon the ugly
train of thought, throws the mind into
another channel; light breaks in from
behind the cloud in the sky, and new
courage is given to US. The honest
man goes singing to his work, and
when the days labor is done, his tools
laid aside, and he is on his way home,
where wife and child, and tidy table,
and cheerful fire-side await him, he
cannot but whistle or sing.-Occident.

THE SAFE SIDE.-When the occupant
of business place on Michigan avenue
was yesterday asked why he didn't
hang out flag in memory of Washing
ton, he replied:
"What do 1 know about George
Washington ?"
"Why, you have read of him, haven't
you ?"
"But everybody knows that WASH
ington was great and good man." pro-
tested the first.
81 don't know about that. pve heard
a good deal against him since L came to
Detroit, and Pm not going to run the
risk of offending some of my best GUS
toners by waving any flags around.
Pm just starting in here, and don't
want to make any bad moves"
"But sir, but"
"Please go on" interrupted the busi-
ness man. "If people hear you jawing
around my place they'll think Pm a
politician and keep clear of me. I'm
neutral in politics and you can't force
me into the Washington ring-no SIR"

A CLOSE VOTE.-None are better
aware than Woman Suffragists of the
fact that no revolutions succeed at first,
and that it is only by years or centuries
of struggling that the events of the
world have been brought about. The
vote of the Rhode Island Legislature
upon Woman Suffrage-26 to 25-shOws
that the movement is full of vitality,
and that the time is not far distant when
the suffrage of women will be recognized
in the United States as an accomplished
fact. Rhode Island now presents good
field for the agitator. The next vote
may carry the day.

A young man fresh from college was
recently boasting in private social
gathering of the various methods of
"ponying' and said the girls in Vassar
did this. Upon inquiry of a student
now pursuing her studies there, she
thus replies:
"You ask about ponying. I never
myself knew of but one instance of it;
and the contempt in which the girl was
held was so general, thought ponying
could not be. 1 know it does not pre-
vail here to the shameful extent it does
in all mems colleges. One reason, l
think, is that girls are not so charitable
to each others shortcomings as boys
are; not so loyal to each other; hence
there is more danger of being sat upon
as the girls say, which is popularity sup
posed to be an unpleasant process. On
the other hand girls are more true to
themselves. Most of US come here to
learn, not to waste our time and
money."-Er..

Admiral Goldsborough, who has just
died, used to be one of the most genial
of men, and his wife was a charming
woman. The latter years of their life
were, however, very gloomy, for during
them they mOurned the death of two
children-Lieutenan Louis Goldsbor-
ough, U. S. A., and Miss Lizzie Colds
borough-who died from rapid consump-
tion, within two years of each other,
just before the close of the civil war.
After their death the gallant old sailor
aud his wife became more reserved, and
their house was closed.

A marvellous overdress, once made for
the Empress Eugene, is now on exhi-
bition at A. 7. Stewart & Co.'S. It is a
combination point gaze, point d'Alen-
con and Venice point, held together
by the finest conceivable net; it meas
ures five and half yards in length, the
depth in front is one and a half yards,
tapering to one yard at the back. It's
actual cost, it is said, was $22, 900 in
gold, its present valuation being 500, 900.

Wood Carving for Women.

The average woman is the problem of
the nineteenth century, and if there are
"superfluous women" in this sublunary
sphere, you may be sure she will become
one. There are 80 many girls, fine,
sweet, noble young women, too, who
are not yet especially strong on any one
point of literature, science, or art, who
are yet too fine and high and thoughtful
TO be content with the outward life of
ordinary home and society, and do not
possess that divine flame of genius
which shapes to itself life. A possi-
BILE infiorescence of character stirs within
them. They have high, though some
what vague ideal of "nobler life that
once seemed possible" but just how to
transmute the clay of dreams to the
white, shining marble of enduring re-
suits, they know not. To every thought
full girl comes this critical period when
in some glorified vision she sees before
her the "woman she had dreamed" the
woman she expected to become, while
yet,

Sidney Smith wrote of Miss Mark
ham: "In carving a partridge, 1
splashed her with gravy from head to
foot; and though l saw three distinct
rills of animal juice trickllug down her
cheek, she had the complaisance to aver
that not drop had reached her. Such
circumstances are the triumphs of civil
lied life.n

A day comes when she starts to the
sudden consciousness of womanhood; !;
when she realizes that the crudities and
incompleteness pardonable in the girl,
are objectionable in the woman; and
now, unless a strong purpose Is hers, she
will lapse into an automatic woman
hood, 81 meant more," she will some
times say with sigh, remembering the
ideals she left with her girlnood, az ex-
pected to be mOre," and then turn again
to the common outward life, ignoring
the finer possibilities that yet exist for
her.
Every new field of labor opened to
woman is pledge of higher life for
her, of safety, growth, and an independ-
ence that does away with the necessity
of making the years only a pontoon
bridge to matrimony. The fields of la
Dor opened to women have been too few,
and it is therefore the more eagerly that
we welcome this new and desirable
work for women offered in the art OF
wood carving.

OFFICE. SEEKERS.

The hundred thousand unarmed vot-
ers are still here, and to them is added
a hundred thousand women who cannot
vote, but who can hold office. Each of
this vast throng is duly provided with
credentials showing their fitness, and
they besiege the White House and ex-
ecutive departments with their impor-
tunity till poor human nature is nearly
distracted. No matter how many of
this army fall on the way, others take
their places and labor quite as earn

GENERAL MATTER.

The policy of dividing the "solid
South" by inserting heavy wedge in
the slight Democratic split now visible
is being vigorously pursued. Yet much
of the successful working of this scheme
depends upon the final decision rem
dered in the matters of Louisiana and
South Carolina. All the available
craftsmanship enrolled in the Demo-
cratic ranks will be needed if the ma
jority desire to "hold their own" in the
next House of Congress. The meshes of
The new Northwest. [volume] (Portland, Or.) 1871-1887, 1877-04-13

political tactics are being interlaced
with tension so keen and delicate that
both parties will have to come before
the country with clean records and on
their very best behavior. The Germans
have lately been circulating this 'city
of magnificent distances" paying their
respects and congratulating the Presi-
dent on the honor and consideration dis
played for their race by the appoint
ment of Mr.. Schurz as a member
of his Cabinet. Secretary Schurz has
also been busily employed receiving
delegations of his Teutonic brethren on
the same behest. The colored people
have likewise responded to the demands
of politeness and called upon the Presi-
dent In bodies, expressing their pleasure
at one of their number being so recog-
nized and represented. And now the
Irish, as we predicted, have risen en-
n1asse, requesting they shall not be
overlooked in the national apportion-
ment of pickings. 1t only remains for
"poor Lo" to demand his share, and
then the Grand Sachem's power now
will be complete. Think of it! A pro-
.cession of American nationalities, Boys
in Blue, Boys in Green, Boys in Schurtz,
Boys in Blankets, and Boys in Ebony
marching along with the occasional
Boys in Gray falling into line to the
music of the Union and the Red, White
and Blue.

SPEAKERSHIP.

Next to and in measure dividing in
terest with the above all-absorbing
theme of conversation is the new
Speakership. Though there are several
Southern Democrats who would like
this honor, it seems probable that none
but Northern Democrat will be Sc
lected, the others being unable to con-
centrate sufficient votes to secure a ma
jority. Of those who stand the best
chance are Randall, Cox, and Sayler.
During the last month Of Congress
Randall offended all classes by the at
tempted impartiality of his rulings.
Like the fable of the old man and his
donkey when the father first rode, then
the son rode, then they both rode, and
finally they carried the beast themselves
on their shoulders, and lost him in
crossing a stream, yet could satisfy no
one, and were minus their donkey in
the end, so Mr.. Randall, in his attempts
to please every one, offended all. Next
to him Mr.. Cox stands, having been de-
feated only by thirteen votes at the last
session. Mr.. Sayler will also make 9
diligent fight; yet the Speakership is q
thankless task, and brings more heart,
burning and gives more umbrage thar
any other office in the gift of our Con
gressional solons. Little Sunset Sammy
deserves we'll, as he and his brave, swee
wife have fought for the honor valiantly
and it is not improbable, as the result
of his present Southern drumming tour
that he will turn up here on the day tn,
House meets in extra session in Jun,
next, with more votes at his back thai
anV of his cOmnetitors.
