TO AVOID BEING SRINDLED.

Never listen to any proposition which
is commended to you as giving opportu-
mites for making money dishonesty, or
by selling an article for much more than
it is worth. The man who proposes to
have you defraud others will cheat you
if he has a good opportunity,
AS rule, when stranger proposes to
sell you an article at very much less than
its value, it is safe to decline buying, un-
less you are good Judge of the article.
Never make purchase or contract
with q stranger when his assurance is the
only evidence you have of value.
Never sign a paper presented by a
stranger without reading it and being
sure you understand its character.
AS rule, avoid in engaging in enter.
prises, however attractive they appear, il
entirely outside of your usual business.
Other things being equal, buy and sell
in the market nearest home.

ATOUCHLNG STORY TOUCHINGLY
TOLD.

In the year 18 -, as the mail train on
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad bound
west to Cumberland in charge of the late
Capt. George A. Rawlings, conductor,
was approaching Doe Gully Tunnel the
engine struck and killed a COW belonging
to the widow of watchmau at that
point who lost his life in the service.
The accident soon brought to the scene
quite number of the people living in
the immediate eneighborhood, and among
them the widow of the watchman and
her five small children, who were weep
ing most piteously at their loss, and u.s.
ing the most heartrending expressions
Rawlings, who was proverbial for his
kindness Of heart, took up a subsCrip-
tion, the passengers and train-men con-
tributing, and he soon collected over
seventy dollars and handed it to the
widow.
With tears in her eyes she turned to
him and said: "You will never regret
this kindness to the poor widow and her
children, and it will come home to you
some day or other.
Time rolled on and the incident was
nearly forgotten, when one night Rawl-
ings left Cumberland on his east bound
trip in a terrible rain storm, and after
passing through Doe Gully Tunnel, his
engineer blew for brakes in sharp and
quick blasts, indicating sudden and uu-
expeCted danger.
The train was brought to a standstill
within fifty feet of an immense landslide
covering the track for distance of fifty
yards, close to which large bonfire had
been built and standing within few
feet of it the widow, with a blazing pine
knot in her hand, waving it and shout
ing: "Where is the conductor Where
is the conductor"
Rawlings soon appeared, and going up
to him she said: "I told you you never
would regret your kindness to the poor
lone widow and her children. I heard
the fall of rock and earth in the Cut. and
l knew you were coming down and l
built fire to warn you of the danger.
God bless the man who thought of the
poor widow and her children when they
were in trouble"
The scene can better be imagined than
described.
This act of the widow saved the lives
of the passengers and train-men, and, to
this day, Tommy Beckett" who ran the
Delaware" on the occasion, and who is
still running on the Washington branch,
ripe in years, no doubt often thinks Of
tho widow with the blazing pine knot,
who signalled him at Doe Gully Tunnel

AGAINST WOMEN VoT1NG.

Jane Grey Swisshelm has discharged
herself of a furious blast against the fe-
male advocates Of women's rights. They
have, she says, "united the idea Of a
woman's right to vote with prostitute's
right to social recognition and the gener-
al disruption Of marriage obligations !"
have held burlesque conventions where
the president is the principal speaker,
conventions attended by mobs and break
ing up in rows, and, while thus behaving
like rowdies have demanded to be treat
ed as ladies. Their suffrage lobbying bas
been nothing but an artiul appeal to per-
sonal charms. She recalls Mrs, Sarah
Spencer, the lioness Of two years ago, "a
woman who was running tilt against
the social evil; who had visited all the
houses of illfame, learned their secrets
from the inmates, and carried most, If
not all, of the public men in her pocket
on account of the many discoveries she
had made, and who was then pressing
Congress for an appropriation to start
"reform school for girls" Mrs. Swiss
helm looked for a staid, experienced
elderly matron, 80 what was her surprise
to find "a young, handsome, tall, graceful
woman in pullbaCk and long trail with
a brilliant complexion, looking as If 1t
had come from an apotheCary shop, the
iauntiest hat of the winter, and all the
other accessories of a fashionable toilet J
"Then that president" she adds, "a large
raw. w.boned, square-shouldered woman,
with yellow hair, dressed la Pompadour
high cheek bones and very red cheeks, a
close.ftting, fashionable costume, ofmix-
ed Colors--the very personitcation OF an
over. dressed servant girl When l
thought of those two women representing
the feminine deliCacy of America, while
cIoseted with set of men to confer on
the social evil--well, my face burns and
my blood tingles to-day at thought of the
insult thus offered to the women of this
country The Congressional committee
which failed to show them the door and
bow them out of it unheard were dere-
lict to duty" The president delivered
bundle of platitudes with very strong
nasal twang in very bad English. Last
year Mrs. Stanton presided, and she, too,
talked-talked-talked and beamed satis-
faction because the people listened to her.
The convention advocated universal
suffrage for women and limited suffrage
for men on the ground of equality" got
upa row on the platform and brought in
the police. AS for this year, "people who
have so little sense as to ask Congress to
double the number of voters, while CIV
ing evidence that the new supply is to
have less sense and less moral principle
than the old, are better fitted for lunatic
asylums than the conduct of political af-
fairs. AS to the superior sense or morali-
ty of women over men facts fail to sustain
assumptions" and 800 out of every thou
sand of Mrs. Spencer's women chad bet
ter keep on at the old business of wash
ing dishes and singing and procuring sig
natures to temperance pledges, to be bro
ken like clay pipes. Ifany man can con-
trive any way to clear the Capitol of that
nest of lobbyists, he will deserve the
thanks of every sensible woman in the
land"
