Women in Office.

Among the distinguished women en-
plOyed in the Post Office Department at
Washington is Mrs. Mary E. Wilcox,
the widow of an officer who was dis
tinguished in the Mexican war. She
is more noted, however, as the daugh-
ter of Andrew Jackson Donaldson, who
was the adopted son of President Jack
son. Her mother presided over the
household in the White House during
the Jacksenian period, and what is
more notable, she is the only person
ever born in the White House, and this
event was regarded as so interesting at
the time, that both houses of Congress
attended the christening, which took
place in the same window of the East
Room where Nellie Grant was after
ward married. Mrs. Wilcox suffered
various reverses in money matters some
years ago, the most serious of which
was the loss other slaves, in consequence
of the Proclamation of Emancipation
by President Lincoln. One Of these
slaves, an old woman named Mary,
who had been won by President Jack
son in a bet on a horse race, followed
Mrs. Wilcox to Washington, to share
her struggles and fortunes, and is still
with her.
Another lady of high connections is
Mrs. Charlotte l.. Livingston, a de-
scendaut of the famous Chancellor Liv-
ingston, and born and bred, herself, in
one of the most aristocratic mansions of
the Capital. She is now a clerk in the
Redemption Bureau of the Treasury
Department, upon q salary of 5000 a
year. She betrays her breeding in her
dignified, if not aristoeratic carriage,
but withal unconsciously. With true
instincts, she remarked, az am not too
proud, but [ am too proud to accept de-
pendence while L have health and
strength"
Miss G. E. Morris, granddaughter of
Robert Morris, a signer of the Declara-
tion of Independence, and also a lady OF
high breeding and exquisite culture, is
a clerk in the Treasury, by appointment
of Vice-President Wilson and Secretary
Bristew.
Miss Sophia Walker, a daughter OF
the late Robert j. Walker, is clerk at
ST. 200 a year, in the department OF
which her father was so long the dis
tinguished chief.
Many other distinguished ladies are
serving in the public offices of the Cap
ital. Among those who have left
within few years is Miss Alice G. In-
gersoll, now the wife of Ex-Governor
Chamberlain, of South CarOlina.-NelC
York Herald.

Reade to the Women Physicians.

Charles Reade's clever and manly
chapter on the woman doctors in Edin-
burgh SO pleased divers students of the
Woman's Medical College, of San Jose,
that last winter they wrote him a
little letter of thanks. He has re-
piled in the following characteristic
note:
MY Dear Young LddieS:-Nothing
in the way of comment on my labors
has given me so much pleasure as the
encouraging words Miss White has been
good enough to pen me, and you have
done me the honor to indorse. 1t is
very generous of you; for in your own
persons you owe me nothing; your bat
tie is won without my help. The wom-
en- students of America have encoun-
tered opposition in every form, but have
conquered, thanks to their own forti-
tude and the character of their nation,
which is too brave, chivalrous and Just
to persist in siding with the strong
against the weak, and with clique
against sex. Here it is not so. Your
English sisters are far fewer in num-
ber, and inferior in ability and courage,
and their foes are pig-headed beyond
belief Our medical women need a
champion. Were L twenty years
younger, [ think l could fight the bat
tie out for them. But my age, and an
Intermittent but chronic and most ex-
hausting cough, have made me less able
to sustain long strife than / used to be
Nevertheless, assure you that on read
ing your kind missive l felt young blOoC
glow in my veins, and that [ could die
like Macbeth, with harness on my
back or, like Samson himself, in tht
very act of pulling down some strong
hold of time-honored iniquity. l now
take the privilege of my age, and senC
you my love, as well as my esteem ant
sympathy, and wish you with all m!
heart, health, happiness and success
and the just respect of your fellow-eiti
zens. 1 am, Miss White and ladies
your very faithful servant"

Clean Hair.

A lady says in the Western Stock
Journal: No matter what your work
is, the dust will gather upon the hair.
With house-keepers this can be largely
prevented by wearing something over
the hair while sweeping or working
where there is dust in the atmosphere.
A cap made of cambria is as good as
anything to wear, and may be made i'm
this wise: Take square of cambria of
the usual width (three-quarters of 81
yard cut from it as large circle as
possible, turn hem an inch and half
in width all around, stitch it down, and
outside this make another row of stitch
ing, leaving space of one-fourtb of an
inch between the two; into this space
run a piece of elastic cord, and draw up
until it is the right size for YOUR head.
Such a cap is easily made, looks well,
will fit over your hair in whatever
mannerit is dressed, aud will thoroughly
protect it from dust. However, if dust
does, and it will, collect upon the hair,
it can sometimes be removed by brush
ing, but always by washing, provided
we wash it properly. Never use soap
it leaves the hair stiff and unmanage-
able. The same is true of ammonia.
Use the yolk of an egg in teacup, fill
Iu6 cup Will Geplu water, let DOWN J06
hair, shake it out well, and pour on a
little of the egg and water, rubbing the
head briskly meantime; reIeat the pro-
cess until the whole is used If not
enough to wet the hair thoroughly and
to make good lather, use more water
on the head. After rubbing we'll, rinse
the hair well with tepid water, apply
ing little cold water at the last. Dry
it as well as possible with towels, and
if it is long, let it remain down upon
the shoulders until quite dry. There
is no danger of taking cold from this
process if ordinary care is used. For
children who are in school and often
come home with something in their
heads, which you think is scarcely an
idea, yet is certainly animate, a wash
with ammonia and water will destroy
both parasites and their Larvae. Use ten
or fifteen drops of ammonia in a tum-
bier of water, and apply it in the same
manner as directed for washing with
egg. If anything is cruel, it is to take
little curly head between your knees
upon a pillow and rake it through and
through with fine-toothed comb until
the little scalp is red and bleeding. Try
the ammonia cure. and the children
will rise up and call you blessed.

A WOMAN MAsoN.-TEere is a story
current in regard to lady who, a num-
Der of years ago, was made Freema-
son in England under very peculiar cir
cumstanees, she having overheard so
much of the work that it was thought
best by those who discovered her hid
den near the lodge to initiate her in or
der to close her mouth. The London
FreendSOn is authority for stating that
another lady has been recently admitted
to the mysteries. The following is the
story: "Countess Hadich has been re-
ceived as a FreemasOn in a Hungarian
lodge under the Grand Orient of Hun
gary The Countess is highly edu-
Gated lady, aud having studied and be-
come well versed in Masonic literature,
she was proposed and seconded in an
open lodge, baIlOted for, and in due time
was duly initiated. The Grand Orient
of Hungary, however, declares that the
initiation is null and void, on the ground
that woman is disqualified from being
Freemason; and the curious question
now arises whether, as the Countess was
actually initiated, she can be refused
admission to her lodge"

HER SwEETHEART.-Du the war
there lived in the vicinity of Jackson,
Tenn, a solitary maiden of sixty sum-
mers, who had none to protect her
against the rude buffets of the world.
If any flower of affection for the other
sex had ever warmed and beautified her
maiden heart, it bloOmed in secret and
"wasted its sweetness on the desert air."
At that time, which "tried mems souls" :"
she continued to live alone, unterrified
by the evils of civil war. One day,
while the city was occupied by Federal
troops, soldier went into her potato
patch and commenced helping himself
to the potatoes. She soon discovered
his presence; and, rushing out, she
screamed:
"Get out of my potato-patch, you
vagabond !"
Soldier-I shan't do it. Your sous
are in the army fighting against US
now, and / am going to have all the po-
tatoes I want.
Maid-You're liar.
Soldier-Well, if your sons amt your
husband is, aud Pm going to have these
potatoes.
Maid-You're liar, sir have got
no husband.
Soldier-Well, if your husband amt
your sweetheart is.
Maid-Well, l declare (softening)i
who told you l had a sweetheart?
SOldier-Never mind.
Maid-Well, reckon you can have q
few potatoes, but don't take more q you
want for your own use.

WHO WILL TAKE CARE OF THEM p
1t is commonly supposed that engineers
get so accustomed to fast running that
they are unmindful of the perils that
beset them during every minute of their
Journeys. This is mistake. They ap-
preciate the dangers of their occupation,
and, though it is rare that an engineer
falters in his duty, they do not, as rule,
like to exceed a certain speed. This
aversion to extraordinary running was
illustrated in the remark of an old en-
gineer, the other day, when informed
that he must take out one of the fast
trains on Monday. Removing his
slouch hat, and running his fingers ner-
vously through his hair, the old engi-
neer, who hal made all sorts of time in
daylight and darkness, for twenty years,
said; "AIl right, boss, pll take her
through, but who'll take care of my
wife and five children if anything
should happen ?" The remark showed
that engineers sometimes, perhaps of
| ten, think of their families at the same
time they are watching their engines,
and that there are some things that
they like better than running fifty
miles an Chicago Times.
