The men were literally starved into
submission. 1t has only been by
private charity that 10000 of their
children have been supplied with one

During the strike 2,514, los spindles
and 1921 looms have been idle, and
these will now Immediately resume
work at the reduction that is now ac-
coded to by the strikers.

The Peacock Hall of Delhi.

A correspondent in India writes from
Delhi: The building is very beautiful
pavilion of white marble, supported on
massive pillars of the same material, the
whole of which, with the connecting
arches, is richly ornamented with flowers
of inlaid mosaic work of different colore d
stones and gliding. 1t is raised on a
tuerrace four feet high, the floor of which
is composed of flags of white marble
Between each of the front row of pillars
is a balustrade of marble, chastely
carved in several designs, of perforated
work. The top of the building is orna-
mented with four marble pavilions with
gilt cupolas.
The ceiling of the pavilion was origi-
nally completely covered flagree work,
but in 1899 the Mahrattas, after the cap
ture of the city, took the silver down
and melted it, the value of the same be-
ing estimated at nearly million dollars.
In the cornice at each end of the inte-
rior hall is sculptured in letters of gold,
in the Persian language: If there is
paradise on earth, it is this" In this
hall was the famous peacock throne, Sc
called from its having the figures of two
peacocks standing behind it, their tails
being expanded, and the whole so inlaid
with sapphires, rubies, emeralds, pearls
and other precious stones of appropriate
colors, as to represent life. The throne
| itself is six fe- t long by four feet broad
1t stood on six massive feet, which, with
the body, were of solid gold, inlaid with
rubies, emeralds and diamonds 1t was
surmounted by canopy of gold, sup
ported by twelve pillars, all richly
emblazoned with costly gems, and {
fringe of pearls ornamented the canopy
Between the two peacocks stood the
figure of a parrot, of the ordinary size
said to have been carved out of single
emerald. On either side of the throne
stood a chatta or umbrella, one of the
Oriental emblems of royalty.
They were made of crimson velvet
richly embroidered and fringed will
pearls. The handles were eight feet long
Of solid gold, and studded with diamonds
The cost of this superb work of art ha
been variouslv stated at sums varyin,
from S5,00O,000 to $3O,00o, 900. Th
peacock throne, with nearly all the treas
ures in the city, were taken away by
Persian conqueror in 1889. An Ameri
can mind can scarcely realize such bound
less extravaganza, but my Indian expe
rience has caused me to look with coo
Indifference upon rows and strings 0
Jewels that would excite my lady friend
to frantic pitch of admiration.

Catherine Beecher. Deceased.

Catherine Beecher was born at East
Hampton, Long Island, September 6,
1900. She was engaged to marry Pro-
fessor Fisher, of Yale College, who was
lost in a shipwreck off the coast of Ire
land, and her devotion to his memory
was the reason she remained single. Of
her long and useful life, Henry Ward
Beecher, her brother, said at the prayer
meeting in Plymouth Church, the other
evening:
"My earliest recollections of her are
in connection with Professor Fisher, in
1922 I remember very distinctly when
the news of his death came, AMI the
wretchedness it caused my sister. It
caused breaking up of her whole re-
ligious faith. She found no relief in
her distress from the ordinary consola-
tions of religion. A great sorrow some
times gives a wrench that the whole
life does not suffice to put back. 1t is
useless to speculate what her life might
have been had she been fortunate in
her love, and become the mother of a
| family. But she determined to give her
whole life to the benefit of other per-
sons. She was educated at the seminary
in Litchfeld, kept by Miss Pierce and
her sister and Jonathan Brace, the
father of Charles L. Brace, of New
York. Catherine first established a
school in Hartford, which became emf
nent. At this time she began to write
and publish books. Here she continued
until her health obliged her to give up
the work. In 1882, when my father re-
moved to Cincinnati she established a
female sen mary there. Mrs Stowe
was her assistant. Later she originated
the plan of supplying the West with fe.
male teachers. Hundreds of the best
teachers the West received went out
under the patronage of this system
But their careers were short mostly, fol
in year or two they married. Then she
conceived the idea of great normal fe
male seminaiies in the Northwestern
States. During all this time her per
was not idle. She wrote from fifteen Il
twenty books, all treating of women
sphere and elevation. Her religious
feelings were strong; her religious view
varied more or less. During the las
fifteen or twenty years of her life sh,
was a communicate of the Protestan
Episcopal Church, having returned lat
in life to the church of her mother
For twenty-five years she has suffered
from lameness and weakness of nerv
and body"
Among the works which she pub
J lished may be mentioned "Domesti
Service" i" &" Treatise on Domestic Econ
omy," True Remedy for the Wrongs Q
Women" Elementary Book of In
structive Theology" Physiology an

Probably there wasn't any better time
made on the race-track that fall than
DIR. Mosher made on that eventful even
ing. His new pants were about six
inches too long for him, but they didn't
serve san obstacle. He kept his eye on
the goal and bounded forward until he
landed in slough. This was about
eighty rods across and up to his waist in
places, but he kept on in the direction
given him, and finally reached behouse
in an exhausted condition. 1t proved
to belong to a German, who extended
his hospitality sufficient to give him a
place till morning. Soon after family
arrived there from LIE Mars, and the
men were so scared on seeing the doctor
and hearing what had befallen him that
they left their horses standing at post
till morning without feeding them, be-
ing too timid to go out of doors again in
the dark.
Daylight revealed solitary horse on

ANexspaner Wonder.

The Advocate, a Greenback Labor paper
published in NewYork. has created marked
exitement among publishers. 1t was begun
in May, 1875, as local paper at Spring Val
ley, Rockland county, and on Jan'y l, 1877,
removed to New York. The first issue in
that year was 43S copies, using twenty-five
pounds of white paper, postage fifty cents,
while the issue OF May % instant was 1885,
900, using near nine tons of white paper and
paying $500 postage. This has been done by
discreet bus bold method of advertising.
The company expect to reach circulation
of 2,OOO,OOO in 1880, and propose to expend
5000, 900 in advertising to secure that end.
1t, during the months of June, July, August
and September, puts its advertisement of
one column into $500 papers, including the
city dailies. If business men would take
courage and show more faith in printer
ink much could be done to dissipate hard
times by reviving business.

EVERY man of sense and refinement
admires woman as woman, and when
she steps out of this character, thou
sand things that in their appropriate
sphere would be admired, become dis
gusting and offensive. The appropriate
character of woman demands deficacy
of appearance and manners, refinement
of sentiment, gentleness of speech,
modesty in feeling and action, shrink
ing from notoriety and public gaze,
aversion to all that is coarse and rude,
and an instructive adherence of all that
tends to indelicacy and impurity, either
in principle or action. These are the
traits which are admired and sought for
in woman.
