Fashionable women.
Exchange. ]


Fashion kills more women than toll or
sorrow. Obedience to fashion is a much
greater transgression OF the laws of womans
nature, greater injury to her physical and
mental constitution, than poverty and neg
lect. The slave woman at her task will live
and grow old and see two or three genera
tons of her mistresses fade and pass away.
The washerwoman, with scarce ray of hope
to cheer her in her tolls, will live to see her
fashionable sisters die all around her. The
kitchen maid is hearty and strong, when her
lady has to be nursed like baby. 1t is truth
that fashion -pampered women are all but
useless for all the ends of human life. They
have but little force of character; they have
still less of moral will, and quito as little of
physical energy. They live for no great pur-
pose in life; they accomplish no worthy
ends They are only doll forms in the hands
of milliners and servants to be dressed and
fed to order. They dress nobody and save
nobody. They write no books; they set no
rich examples of woman or womanly life.
II they rear children, servants and nurses do
all, save to conceive and give them birth;
and when reared, what are they? What do
they ever amount to but weak scions of the
old stock? Who ever heard OF fashionable
woman's child exhibiting any virtue or
power of mind for which it became eminent?
Read the biographies of our great and good
men and women. Not one of them had
fashionable mother. They nearly all sprang
from strong minded women, who had about
as little to do with fashion as with the
changing clouds,

has kept we'll, and, as an experiment, is
success. Winter squashes used to come to
this city from Boston, but nov almost the
whole of Boston's supply Is drawn from
Long Island. Marrow squashes come to
New York from Norfolk about the LIST of
May, and summer squashes come from
Florida with the string beans, or about two
weeks later than the first peas. Among the
fresh vegetables always in the market are
mushrooms, which are raised everywhere
in cellars, underground, galleries dug for the
purpose, and under glass. They even come
from Canada, but not in quantities, as they
command higher prices there than here.
Here they sell now from so to 80 cents per
pound. The above list comprises most of
the vegetables to be seen in the markets of
this city during the winter and early spring
when fresh vegetables are luxuries, hut a
second list nearly as long as the first might
be made of those that arrive from Southern
and foreign ports during the summer
months, forced in their growth to meet the
demands of those New Workers who are
ever on the lookout for novelties and delica-
cies for their tables.

BY FANNY DRrscoLL.

What does the bird born In giided cage
Know OF the wild. SWEEP freedom OF the air
Outside-the madd' ming thrill of boundless
SPACE,
Bound only by the heavens, blue and fairs
What does the child whose life has never
passed
Beyond the inland, narrow, small, unfree.
Know of the grand, calm, passionate, wild
soul
That throbs In every movement of the sea?
What does the man born blind, and deaf, and
dumb,
Know of the sweet, strange secrets OF the
earth7
What do the mountains, standing stern anu
grim,
Know of the rapturous mystery of birth?
What does the woman whose soft, silent lips
Have ne'er been pressed by kisses sweet as
pain
That all the storms of Time nave never
slain?

Locking Up the Tower OF London.

Few persons are aware of the strictness
with which the Tower of London is guarded
from the foes without and from treaehery
within. The ceremony of shutting it up
every night continues to be as solemn and as
rigidly precautionary as if the French inva-
sion were actually afoot. Immediately after
tattoo" all strangers are expelled; and, the
gates once closed nothing short of such i'm
perative necessity as fire or sudden illness
can procure their being reopened till the ap-
pointed hour next morning.
The ceremony of locking up is very an

approaching party:

Greenbackers and Democrats.
New Haven Comm Union.l

We are glad to see the good work of con-
solidating the elements opposed TO Republi-
canism thus progress. A union of Green.
hackers and Democrats in Michigan for tn 3
spring elections means certain success, and
this will greatly encourage the friends of
currency reform in Maine. where union
will be formed for the September election.
The harmony in these States will lead to
wise counsels elsewhere, and thus in 1879
the road will be cleared for the grand union
of all the Greenback elements in $780, The

the National and Democratic parties are pre-
pairing the way for great peoples victory

The Result So Far.
fSpringfield Republican. !


The Republican bosses who trade in stolen
kilograms were not men to scruple at politi-
cal crime, and it will be remembered that
the Field committee of the House and Nor
ton committee of the Senate, in 1877 came
TO an agreement that neither the party dis
patches nor the bank accounts should be
used or investigated. OF course there are
things to hide on both sides. But the Re.
pubhcans subsequently literally stole a
march on the other fellows. 1t was not a
creditable victory for the party of moral
ideas" nor is 1t to the honor of the admins
trstion that Thief Bullock represents the
American people at Cologne.

An Authentic Notice Duly Served.

Grant was reported, some months ago, as
saying that he relied on Democratic blunder-
ing to restore Republican ascendency. What
ever may have been the blunders of the
Democracy, they never made SO fatal a mis-
take as the Grant managers are making when
they bring TO the front, Is months before the
nominations of 1880. the corrupt crew that

served, that another term of Grant would

been granted the whole will be at once sub

few have subscribed for so small sum.
Some have taken up lots this fall, and will

Reported Massacre Of Indian Agent
Meeker and His Family.

RAwLINs, October 6. The latest from the
agency at White river states that there are
twcnty-onc white people south of Thorn
burg's battle field, exclusive of Agent Meeker
and family. Lowry, who was mt the agency
the 18th, and who was killed in the fight of
the 10Th, was informed by the Indians who
escorted him off the reservation, that they
intended to kill Meeker and all the whites
on the reservation, the 2sth, and that they
did kill them on that day is considered GER
tain.
WASHINGTON, October 6. The reported
massacre of Indian Agent Meeker of the
White River agency his family and all his
employees, by the Utes, is confirmed by a
despatch to the Indian bureau under date of
Los Pinos, Colorado, October 2d--one day
later than the first report announcing the
fact. 1t is also reported that fight had oc-
Cured probably subsequent to the Thorn
burg battle, that the officers in command had
been killed, the troops surrounded and their
trains captured. This would seem to indi-
mand has been annihilatcd. The news of
the slaughter of Agent Meeker is credited in
Washington, but the reported destruction of
the troops is not believed.
Nothing heard from Col Merritt's COM
mand. Expecting a courier any moment.

citizen did not learn where Dodge's compa-
