Mr.. Anthony Trollope, in Good Words de-
scribes the young women at the London Tele-
graph Office: Eight hundred young women at

most of them looking pretty, earning fair wages
at easy work-work fit for women to do work
at which they can sit and rest, and not be weary,
with kitchen at hand and hot dinner iu The
middle OF the day, with leave OF absence with
out stoppage OF pay, every year, with doctor
for sickness. and pension for old age-for
the young women, as years roll on, will become

and all this has sprung into existence during
the last eight years. After discovering .hat at
least 800 women can keep secret (secresy is
essential there) Mr.. Trollope asked How
many dIsmissals did YOU have during last year
For had known much OF the civil service my

The Heather OF New England.

The six States lying east OF the Hudson
send a good many thousands Of dollars
abroad every year to be expended In con-

Wall Street All Over the Country.

Mr.. JAMES BAINE was cashier OF lit.
tie bank at Salem, Indiana. He dabbled in
stocks, used the banks money in his opera
tions, lost, absconded and left letter be-
hind showing that he was very unhappy,
and CONNIE nding his wife and child, of whom
he had previously been quite too forgetful,
to the care of the Almighty, whose precepts
he had set at naught
wall street did It, wrote Mr.. BAISE to
his father-in-law. What he meant was that
gambling did IT. Gambling is what most
people mean when they say Wall street.
Used in this sense, Wall street extends all
over the country. 1t was always broad
way, that led to destruction, and many were
always entering it. But the convenience Of
Wall street by telegraph to all parts Of the
country has greatly increased the number
Of operators there. Mr.. Cashier BAINE's
friends had noticed that ior some tine past
he had been receiving large numbers Of telc-
grams. Instead of attending exclusively to
the business Of his bank, for which he was
employed and paid. he was buying and sell
ing stocks in Wall street by telegraph. He
might exactly as well have been playing
cards, and stalking his own fate and that Of
the bank upon the result OF the game.
Unfortunately, Mr.. BAINE is not the only
person who has brought Wall street to his
door, and to the door OF some Office of trust,
by means Of the telegraph. Very likely one
explanation OF the bitter Massachusetts, ex-
perences OF a few weeks past might be
found in the fact that Fall River had had
taste OF Wall street. When heavy, unex-
pected, and mysterious failure takes place
anywhere, 1t is pretty safe to conclude that
one Of the ramiflcations Of Wall street ex-
tends there.
Clergymen, lawyers, physicians, mer-
chants, spinsters, widows, all dabble in
stocks in Wall street. They like the excite
ment. and stick to it. oven II they lose. 1t
has the fascination OF cards or OF lottery
| tickets.
One OF the greatest risks incurred in re-
gard to trust funds Is that they will find
their way into Wall street gambling oper-
ations and it is risk incurred in the re-
hottest corner Of the country as well as in
Wall street itself; for virtually though not
virtuously, Wall street at the present day

Where the Peoples Money Goes.

A single illustration will suffice to show
how wilfully and recklessly the public
money IL squandered, and how daring Is the
fraud which, under false pretences and fab
ricated figures and cooked reports, saddles
on the country rotten thing called navy,
which has none Of the attributes or elements
OF n navy, except the assumed name, pay
roll of seven and half millions year. and
enormous appropriations TO I'LL the pockets
OF jobbers.
The United States ship Benlcia at Mare
Island was surveyed regularly by board
Of officers, and repairs were recommended
to tho extent of fifty-sx thousand dollars.
instead OF putting her In dock and testing
her soundness below the water line to de-
termine IL the hull was in proper condition,
the top work went on where she lay, until
forty-two thousand dollars were expended
Then she was locked and bored, and found
to be utterly rotten and worthless!
Now, formal board Of survey will be or
der ed at Washington TO pronounce the ship
wholly unseaworthy and to condemn her for
sale, and when stripped Of the copper she
will probably not fetch fourth part the
cost of the recent repairs. This is fair
sample OF millions squandered In the last
ten years in the name Of repairs for old
hulks utterly unfit for any service at sea.
What is to be thought Of officers who
make such surveys as this ls shown to be,
and Of other officers under whose direction
the people money IL thus criminally thrown
away? They form part of an organized
combination to impose a sha N on the coun-
try, because without 1t their occupation
would be gone. In the real. professional.
and practical sense, there Is no navy exist
ing to-day fl to contend on the ocean with
even a secondary power like Spain. We
have about thirty so-called ships, which can
neither fight nor run away, and less than a
dozen ironclads that dare not venture 10 sea.
Yet In the last decade, two hundred and
thirty-iive millions Of dollars or more than
one-tenth part OF the national debt, were
voted To keep up this patched and worn out
thing, and every report In that time gloriied
the navy as progressing to perfection,
while Mr. HALE and other friends of SECoR
robson, in Congress. denounced adverse
criticism as unjust and unfounded We
have now reached the point wher conceal
ment is no longer possible and deception is
dangerous The naked truth stands out
before all the world and is confessed by the
Department. The thing called navy like
the thing called President. is huge Fraud.

Mr.. PORTER, President OF Yale College, Mr..
WooLsEy, former President. Professors
WALKER and WAYLAND. Governor ENGLISH,
and several other well-known citizens of
Connecticut, invite attention to noxious
species Of cheap literature with which the
market is at present flooded, designed es-
pcclally TO interest boys. The books are
represented to be dcmoralizing because
they are the stories Of rascals, vagabonds.
and adventures. They portray dishonest
men as successful by illegal methods.
No doubt the kind OF fiction of which these
excellent men complain does a good deal of
mischief. Still, there is an air OF extrava-
gance and improbability about the stories,
from the manner In which they are told.
which prevents them from being generally
and thoroughly believed. Moreover, great
as the injury OF such works may he, what
does ii amount to, after all, In comparison
with the Generalization which must be
caused to the rising generation by a
truo and faithful history of the
times In which we live? What hero
OF romance has risen by guilty means to
such dizzy height as is now occupied by
RUTHERFORD b. HAYES, attained to through
Grimes DOln DTONeu ny tAlfHneOus eNlueuce
and confessed by the perpetrators Yet he
Is permitted to wear serenely his fraud
stained honors, and the very men who are
exercised over the cheap literature circu-
ated in Connecticut, do homage 10 him, in
stead of helping to put him out Of Office, to
degrade him, and to render his name hiss
ing and II byword Why waste time in sup
rronling wild romances, In which some
villain shines with false light, and never
meddle with the most astonishing instance
Of successful fraud In modern history!
What deduction are the youth Of the pres
snt day to make from the existing condition
of things? They see HAYES travelling about
the country. and men prominent in popular
religion vyng with each other to shower
attentions upon him, while 1t is notorious
that he has no legal title TO the Office he
holds.
Let our great reformers unite TO set his
tory right first, and then they may attend
TO fiction.
