A report recently made on the sub
ject of the wages of the women in BOs-
ton, by Miss Collins of BOffin's Bower,
shows that before the war a girls wa
ges ranged from five dollars to ten dol
lars week, and two dollars was the
average price of board. AT present her
wages range from six dollars to ten dol
lars, and a large class employed at
cOarser work are paid from three to five
dollars, while the average price of board
is six dollars. The report dwells upon
the tendency of women to enter those
industrial pursuits formerly monopo-
lied by men, but the result, as indica-
ted by the above figures, are not en-
cOuraging. The lot of the Boston work
ing girl is not, perhaps, harder than
that of her sisters in other cities, and
vet they do not wait for hard necessi-
ties to force them away from domestic
duties, into the severe and iIlpaid toll
of shops and stores.

him with corruption, dishonesty, and
most everything else. 1t is known that
his position in Congress has given him
control of the Mint, the Navy Yard,
Custom House and Internal Revenue
offices of the state. But it has not been
considered till now that he has abused
this trust. 1t is now thought that he
has used his position to advance his
own interests and to keep himself in
office. Certainly no man has occupied
such position as he, or fed at such a
bOuntiful political crib. So far as the
mint is concerned the late investigation
shows the political ring to which he
belongs, is guilty of these charges and
La Grange, the Superintendent, should
be superseded, and doubtless will be.
He has stolen from the government and
paid for supplies that were never used
or delivered. Sargent would keep the
basest men employed in the mint, even
criminals, to do things that honest men
would not do.
All these things the Chronicle is lay
ing to Sargent's charge, and the latter
is trying to bring libel suits against this
paper in various counties of the state
He has failed in three attempts in as
many different counties, to find bill
before the Grand Jury, but has now
succeeded in the fourth and the trial is
now pending. The result of this trial
will not have feathers weight upon
the minds of large portion of the Re
pubicans. They will believe him
guilty. But why wonder at this ex-
posture when his record in Congress is
known. He was ''grabber." He was
'gagger." He is the tool of the
Central Pacific. Worse than all he dis
tributed Mormon money and defeated
a bill in Congress which was introduced
by the terms of which the Geutiles in
Utah would receive the same and equal
rights in the courts of the state with
the Mormons, which now they do not.
As it seems now, unless Sargent with
draws from the canvass, his successor
will be Democrat. A. J.H.

JUDGING FROM APPEARANCES
long ago, weazen-faced little man,
wearing $3.50 suit of clothes, went to
one of the big San Francisco hotels,
and registering his name as from Texas,
on the table. The Olympian clerk
gazed at him scOrnfully for moment,
and languidly remarked:
ANY baggage ?"
"NO," replied the guest.
ain that case" replied the clerk, "the
rules of the the house compel me to ill.,
Sist on payment III advance"
every WE'LL" said the guest without
hesitating or appearing offended, ''take
two days board out of this" and from a
wad of greenbacks us big as his arm, he
produced 500 note.
81 beg your pardon" stammered the
abashed clerk, "but we are so often
taken i'll, and your face not being famil-
lar TO me, /"
''No offence" cheerfully answered
the guest; Cuisines is business and
rules are rules. 1t does look little
odd to he without baggage, but as cattle
dealers amt much on style, and"
''That's all right" said the clerk.
"Put up your money; we know Il gen.
tleman when we see him. Jim, show
the gentleman to l46. Call for the best

The old man slowed away an ample
breakfast, got the clerk to give him his
small bills for fifty, and asked where
Billy CoOlbaugh, the banker had his
office, inquired when they had dinner,
desired the clerk to tell Mr.. Farwell, if
he called, that he would be back at two
O'Clock, then went, and he hasn't been
seen since. The clerk subsequently,
discovered that the 500 was bad. The
sad event cast gloom over the hotel
office.

THE SEASON AND TIMES.
A depression i'll business must be ac-
knOwledged in California. Sales of
farming lands are fewer. San Francisco
property has deprecated twenty per
cent, excepting what is called inside or
the best business property. Property
only in Oakland, outside and in, holds
firm as yet, and it is even advancing.
This general depression is partly due
to the crash in stocks, to the fact that
immigration to the state has ceased at
least to "A great extent, and added to
these is the dry year. In regard to the
latter, it may be said it is not as serious
as was first anticipated. All the coast
counties have raised fair crop. The
export of wheat will be about one third
what it was last year, which is estimat-
ed at about 100000 bushels. This will
bring as much money into the state as
last year but with this disadvantage, it
will not be as widely distributed over
the state. There is no suffering in the
state any more than former years. at
least, of worthy people unless il be
those who are too prOud to make their
wants known. With sufficient rain the
coming winter to secure good crop
next year, the former prosperity of the
state will be soon restored.
