prompt action.

SINCE the Presidents message was
published some paragrapher wrote
an item to the effect that 1t was not
a "remarkable documents" that 1t
"contained nothing original" &C.,
and now a number of those whom
Greeley characterized as "the small
creatures that God permitted to edit
newspapers are Justify braying out
their objections. From some OF the
items which appear, it would seem
that Mr.. Hayes has cause to be
thankful that he is permitted to 1--we
at all in this nation of ours. The
message is one eminently character
istic of the man, viz: plain recital
Of facts, together with such firm
and gentlemanly comments as Its
author felt to be salutary and proper
to publicly express. There is no
strained effort at poetic coloring or
rhetorical flourish; neither are there
any blood and thunder stories or at
tempts at eccentricity. An eminent
writer has said that lew men are so
truly great that they can afford to
be plain. This is as eminently true
now as ever, and if President Hayes
has shown his good sense in any way
it is by sending out document of
the practical kind, intended to be
fully comprehended by all.

REMARKS are being made quite
frequently to the effect that the
"Press" yelpers have quieted down
very rapidly since receiving such a
thorough drubbing in the late cleo
ton. They are busily engaged look
ing for a hole to crawl into, about all
the resistance now maintained by
them being to reiterate their oft-re'
peated twaddle about the "people
as contradistinguishad from the Fed
eral officials"

Japansse Story Of Creation.

or old the Heavens and Earth
were not separated. Land and
water, solids and gases, fire and
stone, light and darkness, were
mixed together. All was liquid
and turbid chaos.
Then the mighty mass began TO
move from Within The lighter
particles of gas and air began p
rise, forming the sky and heavens,
The heavy part sank and cohered,
becoming the earth. The water
formed the four seas. Then there
appeared something like white
cloud floating between heaven and
earth. Out of this came forth
three beings-The Being of the
Middle of Heaven, the High August
Being, aud The Majestic Being.
These three "hid their bodies"
Out of the warm mold of the
earth, something like rush
sprouted up. 1t was clear like crys-
tai. From this rush-sprout came
forth being whose title is "The
Delightful and Honorable Rush
Sprout." Next appeared another
being out of the buds of the rush.
sprout, whose name Is "The Hon.
orable Heaven Born" These five
beings are called 1.-The Heavenly
Gods"
Next came into existence four
pairs of beings, viz: (D. The Be-
ing Sprung from the First Mud,
and the Being Of the Sand and
Mud. (2). The Being with Hands
and Feet Growing, and the Being
Having Breath. (S). The Male
Being, and the Female Being of
the Great Place (the earlh). (4.
The Being of Complete Perfection,
and the Being who cried out
"Strange and Awfuin Ito her
mattel.
Thus the last pair that came into
existence were the first man and
woman called Izanagi aud IZanami.
[It is said that the other pairs of
beings before Izanagi and Izanami
were only their imperfect forms or
the processes through which they
passed before arriving at perfeo-
ton
These two beings lived in the
Heavens. The world was not yet
we'll formed, and the soil floated
about like fish in the water, but
near the surface, aud was called
"The Floating Regions :" The sun,
earth and moon were still attached
to each other like head to the
neck, or arms to the body. They
were little by little separating, the
parts joining them growing thin
ner and thinner. This part, like
an 18th mus, was called "Heaven's
Floating Bridge" 1t was on this
bridge that Izsnagi and Izanami
were standing when they saw a
pair of wagtails cooling and billing
sweetly together. The heavenly
couple were so delighted with the
sight that they began to initiate
the birds. Thus began the art of
love, which MORALS have practiced
to this day.-Sdturddy afternoon.

Eastern Oysters Growing in San
Francisca Bay.

The oyster dealers have said per-
sistenlly, that while the small
Eastern oysters planted in the beds
In our waters fatten and grow lar
ger, the spat would not develop
into oysters, and so we could only
hope to indulge in the luxury of
Eastern oysters after each bivalvo
had been brought across the conti-
neDt, and fattened, or allowed to
grow larger in the bay. 1t Is fair
to suppose that every plan has been
tried to make the shell-flsh accom-
modate itself to our waters, and
that all the expedients of beds of
various materials and OF varying
depths of tide have been tried,
before abandoning the expert
ments. But now comes dis.
covery which shows that the oys-
ter has found a plan TO reproduce
itself in spite Of the many failures
under the direction of the oyster
breeder. On the AIamda shore, up
a creek, where the spat has been
carried for miles on the tide, has
been found bed of Eastern oysters
as large as those SO temptingly
displ aged in the stalls In the mar
kets and at the saloons. The dis
covery was made while digging
for clans, and the find caused
great rejoicing, as little prospect
ing revealed large bed of the
precious bivalves. A careful not
ing of the surroundings will teach
the oyster.breeders what conditions
the oyster has selected for its own
developement, and by observing
these conditions In future expert.
ments, we can confidently expect
to dig our oysters hereafter, instead
of bringing them across the cont.
nent ty rail.-Aitd.

Business Women.

1t is very curious and interesting
to watch how fast and how far the
work of the world is falling into the
hands of women. 1t is because
women are very gradually but bet
ter learning how to do it. 1t is
true that men, as yet, act mainly
as proprietort, but how long will
they continue to 10 so after women
have obtained thorough knowledge
of the trades, business aud profess
sions to which they car obtain ac-
cess? One woman in Massachu-
setts aud two IN Connecticut are
announced as engaged to supply
their husbands pulpits during the
absence OF these for a vacation.
Flesh signs are constantly appear
Ing over stores and business houses,
which give the nomenclature of a
woman instead of u man, and ed
dcated women have entered busi-
ness within the past few years who,
twenty-five years ago, would not
have considered such o step possi-
bic.
A grocery store upon populous
avenue has for twenty years dis.
played the name of man upon its
signboard who has been dead for
the past five Years, during which
time his widow has taken his place,
acting most efficiently and keeping
and increasing the business, which
is a large one. Quite recently she
had MRS" painted in before the
Christian name of her busba nj,
whose simple Quaker cognomen
had occupied it before. When the
matter was jokiugly referred to by
q customer, she remarked: 81 did
| not do it before because my friends
thought it would itjure the bust
ness, but now l know it will not.

The other day a very nice looking
young woman called at the house OF

regard to the covering OF some fur.

was so thoroughly good and fitted
TO her work that my friend could
hardly believe she was the person.

ever, TO be the woman superiuten
dent of the upholstery department
| OF one of our mcst famous furniture
and decorating houses, and lightly
climbed a ladder, and proceeded
in q workmanlIke way to get on
the outside of the window, in the
furtherance of the object she had To
accomplish. My friend, who is a
woman Of observation and fntelli-
gence, became very much interest
ed in her, and, noticing a plain
gold ring on her finger, asked if
she were married. Sherepiied that
| she had an invalid husband and
four children TO support, and had
taken this method of earning an
honest livelihood. In which con-
clusion she Will have the sympathy
