THE GIRL ASA TRAMP.
THE STREET WALKING HABITS OF THE
GIRL OF THE PERIOD


The whole drift of moral reform is
toward young men. They have sci =
mons and lectures and home advice,
and there Is no end Of pains TO make
them better But the girl is less for
tunate. She is not expected to drink
or swear or play billiards, or be enticcd
into gambling hells. ltisto bepresumed
that she is virtuous, as DR.. Thos. Arnold
presumed that his school boys were in
noccnttillth they wereproved 10 be guilty.
The girl is supposed to be sheltered
from gross evil, and partly because of
the delicate application of moral teach
ing TO girls and partly because almost no
one thinks about it. There is very lit
tie said about girls on their way to the
underlow of society, and yet II is clear
to. every observer of lie in our crowded
tenement houses, in our suburban
towns, in ourcrowdcd villages and ham
lets, that a great change has come over
the girls in our New England commu.

THAT WHIRLPOOL.
The Washington correspondent Of

The Washington correspondent of
Chicago Tribune, remarks;
1t is amusing to see how many "Mrs.
Proudies" there are in Washington
And IL is-not-amusing to see how
many nice little wives, and good, plain
mothers are spoiled by taste OF gay
ETY. in our Republican Capital. One
members wife, when she came here
first, few months ago, was really
homesick for her little village. But
after the cards came in to her, and
she began to fully realize that she was
the wife OF a member of Congress,
what airs the country wife took on
herself. Ladies whose claim to dis.
tinction rested upon their innate re-
finement and intelligence, and not up
on the accidental position OF their hus-
bands, were passed unnotlced save by
the iaintest smilngless inclination !
and the grade or rank Of lady's hus.
band could have been told by look.
eron, by the warmth or coolness with
which the wife of the new member
welcomed them.
The change in the toilet OF the lady
was marked. Her eye eagerly ran
over the dresses of her acquaintance.
From n modest lady in plain black
silk and smooth brown locks she burst
INTO the less diStingue style of light
satin and bare shoulders, and pyara-
mid-shaped head with the surrounding
thatch Of frizzes which hides the broad
and beautiful brow and makes every
woman look like an idiot. The lady
now trips to her hired cab every day,
and gives her orders TO the coachman
with an icy, fanlt-fnding tone, which
she, poor soul, does not know indicates
her newuess to the luxury of q hired
team and livery. Her days are round
of ceascless, meaningless toadyism !;
her nights wild revels, where neither
sense nor comfort ever shows ITS PLAN,
old.iashioned faces. This woman, be.
fore her husbands election, would
have set up with her neighbours sick
child. She would have made its tiny
grave clothes aud put flowers in its
dead hands, the while her eyes were
misty with sympathy. But now she
is spoiled for everything. She will fly
her round, tritter away her day, drop
out her life, and not ripple on the
tide of fashionable society will show
where she has gone down. The wheels
OF folly roll round forever here. There
are halfnaked women crushed in the
cram with slmi.respcctablc people, men
and women. There are champagne,
and punch, and HOLSTERS, and flowers ;
ruined toilets, lost tempers, and finally
bitter disappointment and remorse.

WHAT ENGLAND FEA RS IN
THE EASTERN QUESTION

Considerable comment has been ex
cited by an article on European politics
which appeared in the last number Of
the NincfeenM Century, the author Of
which is Sir Garnet W olscley, Major
General in the British army, who has
seen much service, and is regarded MS
one Of the most brilliant and promising
officers in that establishment. This
distinguished authority holds that II Is
not Russia so much as Germany that
England has 10 fear In the present
crisis. II is not the military strength
OF Germany that England has TO dread,
for in reality the expense OF her army
Is n greater strain than the country
can bear, and the consequent taxation
weighs 30 heavily that industry and
trade suffer great depression. Bat the
restlcssness Of the taxpayer is regard.
cd as source Of danger to England,
inasmnch as II imprcsses upon the
German government the necessity OF
opening in some way new channels Of
commerce.. What Germany wants moro
than anything else is a more extended
aud convenient seaboard, and this
might be obtained by annexing the
prosperous little countries up n its
frontier, Belgium and Holland. II Is
not likely that this ''belt" Of Germany
"a "belt" not formed, however, from
the outgrowih Of Germany would be
permitted to vote upon the question Of
annexation, but II has become a fixed
idea in German policy which is only
waiting an opportunity for realization.

CLEARFIELD Pa, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 3, 1878.

If Great Britain had become embroiled
in the present Turco Russian war il is
considered more than probable that
Germany would have hailed tho cir.
cumstance as the opportunity waited
for. 1t is believed that Great Britain
could better afford to have Russia in
permanent occupation OF Constantine
pie than TO have Belgium and Holland
turned into Gel man provinces. British
commerce could not safely stand the
brunt Of the fresh competition il would
have 10 meet If Antwerp and Amster-
dam were made the ports Of Germany.
In the day of sailing vessels the SUI
pcrior nautical aptitude of England
enabled her to hold her own on the
ocean against the world, but these are
the days OF steam and machinery, and
the German steamships engaged in the
American trade are as well handled
and manned as the English, as those
coming TO this port bear witness. IL
Germany ever gets commercial sea-
board there is nothing to prevent her
from becoming great commercial and
naval as well as military power. Sir
Garnet Wolscley takes it for granted
that England would fight before per-
mittiDg Belgium and Holland to be-
come German provinces. AS she could
not accomplish much to prevent this
result without European ally Sir
Garnet assumes that she would be able
to obtain the cooperation of France,
and enters into details of that coun-
try's military strength, which, coming
from such high athority, are OF great
interest. According TO his statistics,
the French regular army, including
officers, numbers 7i5, 900, behind which
is a disciplined reserve Of 50O,0 900 men,
and also territorial army 500, 900
strong, all more or less drilled In
1870, when France declared war
against Germany, she had scarcely
more than 100000 soldiers available
for field operations. The great defect
of her military organization then was
tho inefiiciency Of her commissariat
and supply departments, which, dur
ing the last seven years, are repre-
scented TO have been thoroughly over.
hauled and reconstructed. With eigh.
teen hundred thousand men to send
into the field. and the most systematic
arrangements for the commlssariat.
France would be an ally worth having
But why France should fight for Eng
lish interests, especially as England
did not help France in her late strug.
gle with Germany for existence, and
as France must still require years OF
peace before she can fully recuporate
from the results OF that contest, does
no fully appear--Bdfimore Sun

"TURN THAT BABY"


There was Connecticut lady from
one Of those interior villages of the
State which have become celebrated
for their innocence and garden seeds
who, being ignorant of the dangerous
nature Of heated steam radiators, re
Gently learned by sad experience that
they are devices Of the Adversary
She had reached the city of Provi
dence, Rhode Island, on her way Il
Boston, and was compelled TO wait fol
some timo in the railway station fol
the arrival Of tho Boston express. She
was accompanied by her baby, valu
able infant Of about eighteen months
Of age, aud as she desired to explore
tho reccsscs Of her travelling bag in
search OF the key Of her trunk, con
cerning which she had an awful fcaI
that she had left IL at home, she look
cd about her for place TO temporarily

large steam radiator, with handsom,
marble top, which abe mistook, as she
subsequently, explained, for mantle

corner where she could search her bag
in quiet.
Instantly that unhappy infant lifted

sion OF dissatisfaction, but determined
to let it cry for few moments until
her search should bc completed. II
took her about five minutes to find the
desired key, and shc then was ready
to give her attention to her offspring.
She addressed il in the most winning
of nursery jargoll, but 1t declined to
cease its wailng. Then she juggled
before its eyes her bunch OF keys, and
even went so far as TO suggest that an
examination of the works Of her watch
might be granted to a really good ba.
by who would sign pledge to abstain
from pins and collie in every form.
This also failing Of the desired effect,
she offered bribes In the shape Of can
dy and gingerbread, all OF which, TO
her great astonishment, were neglect
ed. By this time she made up her
mind that a pin must be at the bottom
of the trouble, and she therefore took
up the infant and instituted brief
search for the supposed instrument of
torture. Finding all the child's pins
in precisely the localities where nature
had placed them, she grew somewhat
indignant at its causeess outcry, and,
after threatening it with the scverest
form of nursery punishment in case of
further persistence in crime, she re.
placed it on the radiator, and inform
cd IL that il must remain in that posi-.
iion until it was ready TO be good
and quiet baby.
just ut this point man Of appar-
emily fifty years of age, whose appear
ance Enthusiastically indicated that the
hand Of female affection had never but
toned bis collar or adjusted his necktie,
looked up from his newspaper, and re-
marked to the exasperated mother;
MADAM permit me to suggest that
il is time to turn that child" The
mother, startled at this address from
an entire stranger, who, as an obvious
old bachelor, instantly incurred her
righteous contempt, asked him sharp
" what he meant MERELY this, 70.
piled the monster "your infant must
bo entirely baked on one side, and you
had better turn IL over and cook the
other side II little" Filled with as
tonshment and horror, she seized her
infant, and at the same time happening
to touch the slab with her hand, dis.
covered that il was extremely hot.
Further examination proved the truth
of the unmarried miscreants remark.
The infant was not only baked, but
was overdone to such an extent Us to
partially spoil ii.
The railway company has refused
to pay damages, for, although il is not
denied that, by means of the steam
radiator, q valuable baby was nearly
ruined and was rendered wholly unfit
for any iniantilo purpose, it was claim
cd that the mother and not the com
pany was at fault. This claim will
doubtless be sustained by the courts,
although babies in Connecticut are so
scarce as to be quoted at an unusually
high figure. The incident may be of
use TO the Connecticut mothers as q
warning that steam radiator is not

THIRTY. THREE YEARS AGO
Mrs. Ex-Presldent Tyler.
ASSISTING MRS. HAYES IN RECEIVING AT
THE WHITE HOUSE

Three weeks ago the Washington
correspondent OF the Boston Post, de-
tailed, among other capital ideas, the
following;
At the last public reception at the
White House, Mrs. Hayes was assist
ed in her duties by Mrs. cx.President
Tyler. Mrs. Hayes was dressed in
ruby velvet, Mrs. Tyler in rich sable
robes. The two ladies resemble each
other enough to be sisters; are near
the same height, each has fresh com
plexion, dark eyes, black hair arrang-
ed in bands over the ears and their
elegant tortoise shell combs were al.
most duplicates. There is probably
not over ten or twelve years difference
in their ages, although II has been
many years since President Tyler fill
cd the Presidential chair, and Mrs.
Tyler has been widow fifteen years.
Mrs. Tyler was her husbands second
wife, and came in the White House o
very young and beautiful bride, some.
where near thirty years ago. Presi.
dent Tyler's first wife, who died year
after his inauguration, had been dead
about two years, and the widower had
walked in solitary grief under his
crape-banded hat about Washington
all that time, giving not a glance AT
the many blooming maidens who long
cd Tor the White House. But grief
stricken girl, in mourning heavy as
bis own, worn for father who had
been killed in an awful accident on the
Potomac, touched his pity, and love
frolicked close upon the heels of sym.
rathy, and one fair spring day, Wash
ington was startled BY the announce
ment that quiet service in New York
had transferred Miss Gardner into a
Presidents wife. The negro servant
was the only one to whom the BRIDE
groom told his intentions, and the sub
iect was broached upon the eve of his
departure for New York. He in
structed the darkey to have bis house
in readiness for Mrs. Tyler. "She's
very young and beautiful. She'll be a
splendid woman in her prime" said
the infatuated lover
"Yes, Massa John; but whar you be
when she's in dat primer
OF the many years, and their sad
changes since that time, there is am
Pile evidence. Mrs. Tyler, yet beauti-
iul, appeared Saturday again in the
White House, and saw a few old peo-
pie in the throng, greeting Mrs. Hayes
as kindly as they IN younger days had
greeted her, but the greater part of
the crowd that in olden DAYS were
