gan, Assistant Inspector. General of the First
Brigade OF Militia, last evening. There was
large audience of ladies and gentlemen

lor the very short notice three days. given to
the command. There arc now 513 men actually
sworn III iii this regiment, about 450 of whom
were present. last evening. The organization
has thus FAR been compelled to pay its arlnory
rent, furnish It's own uniforms and bear all ex-
penses. The State owes tho regiment three
mouths ar1nory rent, and the city an appropria-
ton Of S5,0oO. To tlothc the 513 men there
arr but about 3C0 dress uniforms, aud
Companies 1 and X were subjected to the
humiliation OF forming in line ia citizens, ap-
fatigue uniforms, disgrace to the city Of
Chicago.
The officers OF the regiment some time since
were comp lied to advance a sum Of $4Sy. Is to
assist IN unl1orming the boys, in order that they
might present a decent appearance upon the
streets: This money has never been repaid,

of night; it was like that described by
the younger Pliny in a letter to Tacitus.
in which he relates the eruption of We
suvius ard the destruction of fOmpeii.
1T was," he says, "as if the lights in a
room had been extinguished." AtQIito
the shower at first was of coarse, heavy
sard, which subsequently turned into
ashes 70 fine and impalpable that they
penetrated not only into apartments,
but into the most careful closed re-
ceptacIes. In the depth of the dark
ness men and wOmen Drawing the rain
of ashes, salli.d forth into the streets,
screening themselves with umbrellas
and lighting their way with lanterns,
and all the while these strange
apparitiOns rent the air with their
CRIES AND PRAYERS FOR MERCY.
The umbrellas, as well as the green eye
glasses used here on journeys, were no
s%upeIfluOus precautlOn, although they
afforded but scant protection against
the subtle powder, which it was remem
bered had in many cases produced
blindness during the eruption in 1913,
and the rain of ashes of thirty hours
which attended it.
From the outset the people had unan.
imOusly ascriOed the disaster to a chas-
tisement of heaven, brought down by
the lrreligiOn of the Government, which
had arbitrarily closed the churches and
deprived the people of those spiritual
consultations that were made dOably
necessary by the sad condition of things
in general. The idea of a divine pun
ishment spread like wild fire, and as the
tempest ragged more wildly this convic-
ton gathered intensity, till at last
groups of men, without a leader, with
out any concerted plan, and without
arms. threw themselves upon the guard
at the Military Hospital, while others
attacked the guard stationed at the
powder magazine on the hill of Javira.
There were but few troops in the garri.

to suppress the insurrectiOn in Imba-
bura; but the assailants, lacking arms
and direction, were
PROMPTLY OvERPOwERED
with no further loss than that of two
soldiers and two citizens. On the day
following, before the city had recovered
from its CONSERVATION, and while clouds
OF ashes still lowered in the air and
pervaded the streets, five of the unhap.
by prisoners who had been taken during
the tumult suffered the barbarous pun
ls'Iment of $50 lashes. Some have died
in consequence. This fact needs no
comment. A number of respectable
citizens have been arrested, and are to
be subjected to a court martial.
In the present wretched condition of
Ecuador, ruined as it is by a series of
disasters, the recent eruption is the cul-
mination of its woes. Ten years of
peace and prosperity, of which there is
faint prospect now, will not suffice to
repair the evils which a few hours have
wrought in this unfortunate land.

! her social intercourse TO be got somehow
into her crowded life. besides a little
know ledge of current literature. Her
husbands claims upon her as his p!dc-
ems u1Or when he CONES home after the
burden and heat of the days business
must be met, or We all know the conse-
quences. The one thing that can be
shuf17d out of her heavy laden exist
ence to the satisfaction of all parties is
the care of her elder children. The
claims of babyhOOd cannot possibly be
neglected, but she sOO finds that Amer
lean children old enough to be sent to
school prefer an independence which
enables them to choose their own COM
paniOns. Their father is away all day,
their mother has no leisure for their

aged by the difficulties of being good
and happy at home, they take the key
Of the streets" Their education is not
the OutgrOwth of life in their own fam
lilies. The intimacies-the Influences
that shape their lives are probably
hardly known to their " parents.
Brothers and sisters in the United
States are rarely intimate with one an
other. Who can blame father or moth
er? The One is winning bread, and has
hard work to succeed in getting it; the
mother is already doing all she has
strength for. Not long ago We were in

walking through the Capitol were

The Lady" Of America.

In spite of all that has been written
rights, wrongs. duties, characteristics,
etc, etc, there seems to be a point I'm.
tOuched-a point in which the "lady" of
America differs greatly from the "lady"
Of other lands. 1t also includes a mat.
ter which is exercising daily an inAu.
ence for evil on the rising generation.
The English lady on her own soil 10
never to be found outside of her own
sphere. She is hard working, no doubt.
n very likely has her specially. The
French lady has the lives of her Young
daughters in her charge, her domestic
life and her life of society, but the
American lady is expected to be not
only IA little of everything, but thor
oughly to combine in her own person
every phase of female existence.
When Mr. Webster was i'm England
we were witness to the great surprise
expressed by English lawyers of dis.
tlnctlon at the universally of his knowl-
edge of points of law. Besides combin-
ing in his practice the duties shared in
England between attorney, barrister and
solicitor. he was "a tally at home in
maritime, international, criminal, con.
stitutional. patent and ecclesiastical
law. each of which has in England es-
pecial lawyers, who devote themselves
to it. and it alone.
In like manner the burden of being
everything at once falls on the average
American lady. She ~endeavors to be-
sufficient for the things required of her.
She breaks down, she wears out she
rarely fails. But the consequences of
her success may be seen d%isastrOusly in
the national faults We NOWADAYS dis
owe for ourselves, without waiting for
the animadversiOns of foreigners. Take
the life of an American lady Of good
social standing in u cities. Her hus-
band is in business. His hours are early
unlike those of the English merchant,
who rarely begins business before 10 or
eleven o'clock in the day. The wife
rises at an hour at which only a trades
mans wife would rise in England. Very
probably she is obliged to s%uperintend
the preparation of breakfast, and see
that it is properly served. During
breakfast she is the lady of the house;
but breakfast over, she resumes the
upper servant. The service of the
household, which in an English family
has been got through with before the
mistress rises, has to be performed I'M
der her eyes. Her nurses are not com.
pet.nt; she must wash and dress tn.
baby; may take care of it very likely
while the nurse is otherwise employed.
She has the usual duties of an English
housekeeper, supplemented by every |
Kind of inconvenience from subordinate
lncompetency. She must regulate the
seamStress, help the cook and house
servant. and it may be do the sewing. |
The charge of planning, superintend-
matching, shopping. ecOnomizing.
everybody-the whole burthen
OF that class of worries that our first
ancestors entailed on US when she ex-
changed her primeval innocence tor a
green apron-fall upon her. BY the
middle of the day her dress is changed,
and she transforms herself into a wO-
nan Of fashion. She has her charities,
her Inequalities, her correspondence,

Women and Their Dress.

QuOtable remarks on any other than
a holy subject are rare in the religious
journals, but the following from the
Meth) dist, on the subject of the women
Of America and their attire, Will do:
Last year, says the Methodist, We r.
marked upon the exploit of a young
lady who had crossed Niagara on tight
rope. Now We are informed that Mss
Won Hillern has recently completed a
walking undertaking that few men
could execute. These cases are Of course
extraordinary.
Women in general do not attempt
feats of physical strength, nerve and
endurance. Still. there is more of such
capacity in the female world than aver
age writer's rec pgniZ-. Few men become
famous as theatrical Gancars-a busl-
ness that requires great endurance. Bat
there have been many women whose
dancing has given them fame and for
tune. Even IN the social performance
called dancing il is a rule of parti-s that
one woman Will furnish three average
men with the exercise they wis.,.
If the exceptional woman DIES some
times excel the exceptional man in a
game of strength and endurance. il must
be true that our sisters have a god deal
more physical stamina than they are
usually credited with. II is probably
absurd TO assume that girls inherit al
the weakness ~ their mothers and none
the muscular force Of their fathers
one sex alone falls heir TO the an
infrmities.
We have before remarked upon the |
