Controller Of the Currency at $500 q year.
They cut and trimmed the United states
notes issued In sheets, and did their work
very we'll. As soon as they had been ap-
pointed there were many other applicants,
and their number steadily increased, many OF
them securing places through the peculiar
energy and perseverance which will refuse to
take mo" for an answer. There are now
more than 1900 women in the departments at
Washington, the majority employed in the
Bureau OF Engraving and Printing and in the
government printing Office. They excel as
counters; their slender, sensitive fingers
turning notes with great rapidity and exact
ness: They detect counterfeits, it is said,
quicker than men, though they do not sue
eeed SO well in accounts, as the average femi-
nine mind has little natural love Of figures.
Counters and copyists receive 5000 year !;
other women $1,000 to $780, several OF them
$780, and one in the internal revenue $500.
Most OF the clerks are we'll educated and re-
fined, and many have seen more prosperous
days. number are widows and daughters
OF army and naval officers who lost their
lives in the civil war. Veryfew OF the young
women marry or resign, and consequently the
hundreds who are constantly seeking places
in Washington have very slender prospects
OF success. The most uDtiring, obstinate
place-seekers at the Federal capital are
women.

Women In Turkey.
IN. Y. Tribune

Some OF the true tales which are told by
the author of Lies Femmes en- Turquie"-a
most interesting book, by the way-are as
marvellous as any OF the ThOusand-and-On One
Nights series. The mother OF Abdul Medjid,
for example, was maid-of-all- work In the
Sutan's seraglio. It was her business to warm
the baths In the palace. One day the Sultan
Mohammed met her as he was going to his
bath, and caprice burst like lightning
through his SOUL Without ceremony the
servant girl received from him the lofty dis
tinction Of KaIfa. It is more than probable
that after . few minutes reflection
the Sultan regretted his precipitation,
but he had given his word, and the
result was that the maid-of-all-work gave
birth to prince, and was proclaimed Sultana
Valide. "What q wonderful jump!" exclaims
the author, from the wash tub to the
thronel" The account which he draws OF
life In the Seraglio Is most painful one. Dis
cipline Is still maintained by corporal punish
ment. The practice OF striking young girls
on the sOles Of their feet has been abandoned,
but blows are given elsewhere by the eunuchs
who execute the sentences, and rods are sub
stituted for the stick. All the young women
men there, wives, favorites, relations and ser
retired list in the old SeragIio and In the
courts OF the princesses, all being dependent
upon the civil buget-are compelled to dress
In light clothing half decolletee being the
rule, and in winter are constantly exposed 20
colds and lung diseases. Whenever the Sui
tan draws his last breath, or Is dethroned, his
wives, favorites and all their waiting women
have to pack up and be off within twenty-four
hours

MInce Pies.
[Chicago Times.l


The Rev. Arthur Edwards, editor-in-chief Of
the Methodist organ Of Chicago, has publicly
confessed the preparation by himself and
the said organ Of an atrocious crime, one
Of those fearful and revolving offenses that
cry to heaven for vengeancei He inadvert-
emily published in The Christian Advocate a
recipe for mince pie, one Of the ingredients OF
which was small amount OF brandy. The
Rev. Quilldriver must not hope to escape con-
dign punishment on the ground advanced by
the maiden lady with the baby. No matter
how small the quantity brandy In the mince
pie. the reverend gentleman is condemned.
There is no hope for him in this world or in
the world to come. The small amount OF
brandy will be river OF flame in the eternity
Of perdition consuming the never-to-be con-
sumed soul of thefearful offenderl He states
the crime from the theological standpoint,
making the gravamen the allusion to the
small quantity of spirituous damnation, but
from a secular view a sanitary standpoint,
the unspeakable awfulness of his offending
was in the publication of a recipe, with or
without brandy, for that stomach-destroying
soul-imperiling sum OF culinary cussednsss,
the pie that Is minced.

The October Annales OF Lourdes, France,
record twenty-one great pilgrimages in Sep
TENDER. The first grand cure was that of
Joachine Dehan, aged twenty nine In 1866
cholera left her large abscess in the right
leg, and she further had ''luxation" Of the hip
Joint, causing a club foot. But the Countess
Limmerghe, who kindly sent her to Lourdes,
was 80 sure Of Joachine's cure, that she sent
shoes and stockings (which Joachine had been
for years compelled TO dispense with with her.
On September 10 and IA she bathed eight
times, yet without being cured; but at the
ninth bath the sinews of the right leg cracked
ing to, she exclaimed, II am cured" The club
foot had been restored to its natural shape.
the contracted muscles had regained their
normal action, and the immense ulcer had
healed up in moment, leaving only red
ness to show where it had been. Such, at
least, Is the account given In the London
Tablet But yet stronger case is that Of Sis
ter Mary OF the Angels. She was laid down In
the chapel Of the Grotto about the time that
the Bishop of Agen came In to give his bless
ing to the pilgrims from his diocese. No
sooner had he blessed st. Mary than, without
any bathing at all, she was up and walking to
her convent. where she now performs ali her
duties.

Let those who love sausages, as DR.. John
sons young friend "loved turnips," listen to
the story Of PZzola. This man, living in San
Francisco, bought all the cats that were
brought to him at the rate Of ten cents per
head. The youths Of the neighborhood
speedily depopulated that part of the city OF
its feline inhabitants. Not a cat adorned the
back fences of Dupont street, Broadway and
China alley. Not caterwaul broke the still
ness of the midnight air. A prying youth,
having sold the last cat in that election dis
trict, prowled about Pizzola's back yard and
found a bundle Of cats tails, which he took
away with him as souvenirs. His tale reached
the ears OF confiding public. Why should
he buy cats? He sold and made sausages-
sausages which had been distinguished by a
diploma awarded at the Centennial Exposition
of 1876 and the Mechanics Fair (San Fran
CISCO medal Tor 1877. Horrible thought A
boy with one more cat was sent to this brig
and who, paying ten cents for tabby, set her
on choppiDg-block, chopped off her tail, and
put her into coop with other living and tall
less cats. Pizzola was arrested, not for max
ing sausages from cats, but for cruelty to an
imals. On the trial it came out that chopping
off cats tail, while the animal is yet alive
makes the meat more-but we forbear. Piz-
zola was fined for cruelty to cats and his sau-
sage business ruined.

Crown Diamonds Of France.
Washington Capital

France Is without q crown or king, and
has no longer any need for such vanities as
the crown diamonds. Neither Bourbon nor
q Bonapartist Is ever likely to wear these
trappings Of royalty, and neither the simple
hearted soldier who presides over the French
nation nor his spouse requires them on occa-
sions of State. 1t is accordingly proposed
that they be sold at auction or disposed of in
O grand national lottery, which is the rage
now in Paris and the proceeds put into the
public treasury. These diamonds are esti-
mated at about $S00O,000 in value, and ac-
cording to the inventory made in the reign OF
Louis XVIII their number is about GA, 900.
The principal stones are the Regent and
Sancy. The imperial sword worn on occa-
sions OF ceremony is studded with precious
gems worth $4,000. The sword hilt Of the
Holy Spirit in brilliants is worth $4,000. The
sword hilt of the Legion of Honor Is valued at
the same amount. A set of pearls is estima-
ted at $4,000, and another set in brilliants
and sapphires cost $4,000. The crown of
France, $500 precious stones, among them the
Regent, is valued at about So. 600, 900. This
would make nice prize in national lottery
divided into half or quarter dollar shares.
The Regent is worth about $780, 1t was
bought by Philip Of Orleans. the financial as
sociate Of John Law during the minority Of

Lord Beaconsfield, it is rumored in London
his fame and peerage A London journal re-
marks: The Premier's only surviving
brother Is not a very lordly parsonage, and,
besides, Is the incumbent of a lucrative posi-
held by peer. It has been accordingly sug-
gested that the fitness of things and all the
interests involved might best be consulted by
passing over the impossible brother and
going at once to the nephew. 1t has even
styled Lord Hughenden, just az the Comte
de Chambord, in his Joy over the fusion Of
1878, used to call the Comte de Paris the
Dauphin.' However such details may be
settled, the main object must be attained, SO
Beaconsfelds may be kept open"
