DOES HER Own, Work. Does she /?
What of it? Is, it any disgrace? Is
she any less true woman, less worthy
OF respect, than she who sits in silks
and satine, and Is vain of fingers that
never labor? We listened to this sneer
few days ago, and the tone in which
1t was uttered betokened narrow, ig-
noble mind. better fitted for any place
thnn country whose institutions rest
on honorable labor as one of the chief
corner stones. 1t evinced false idea
OF the true basis of society, of true
womanhood, Of genuine nobility. It
showed the detestable spirit of caste, of
rank, which certain class are trying to
establish-a caste whose sole founda-
ton is money, and is the meanest kind
OF rank known to civilization. Mind,
manners, morals, all that enters into q
good character, are of no account with
these social snobs position in their
suited ranks is bought with gold, and
each additional dollar is another round
IN the ladder by which elevation is
gained.-Erchange.

The Indian Massacre.

There is certainly a screw loose some
where in the management of the army, or
else these frequent Indian massacres
would not occur. There is nothing what
ever for the army to do but preserve peace
In the territories, and certainly il is large
enough for active, aggressive work against
the hostiles, but instead we fud it scat
tered all over the country-anywhere in
fact but where it ought to be and never is
when needed. The Indian fight, the other
day, whereby Major Thornburg was COM
rolled to face five times his number, af-
lords an example of the inefficient man-
agement OF the army. Through il the
country loses brave officer, and there
oln be but one conclusion that, had Major
Thornburgh been properly supported the
disaster would not have occurred, IF. in
stead of patrolli1g the south for the pur-
pose of keeping alive the bloody shirt
party, the army was kept on the plains,
so that expeditions against the hostiies
could be sent out in sufficient numbers to
be effective, it would reflect more credit
on the general Of the army. Custer was
sacrificed because his force was so small
that he could not cut his way through, and
yet at thar tune there we're thousands of
troops stationed at points south and dnrt
where they were not needed. " nile on the
plains tho entire force would no. number
1000 effective men. Now, Major Thorn
burgh, another gallant officer. is sacrificed
for the same reason, laundering man.
agemeut and scant support afforded him.
Another obstac lie is the red tape system
of orders. Had Major Thornburgh not
been hanpered with orders, he would
probably have saved himself. but as his
instructions were positive not to make the
attack. he did not, but like true soldier
obeyed the orders which ended in losing
his own life and sacrificing many of his
men 1t will be happy day for the
American people when, instead of using
the army for political purposes, it will be
employed where it is needed. Then and not
until then will the Indians be thoroughly |
conquered.

House of Lords, in 1888, that an Excise

an act of violence against him. In Ty-
rome, revenue officer, though guarded
by a soldier and his wife, was carried off
in sack" What was his fate we are not
told. Perhaps even worse than all the
rest was The perpetual consciousness Of
popular antipathy. That set in with the
very origin of Excise, and has only very
gradually abated. One early pamphlet

A Railroad in Default.

The Shenango & Allegheny Railroad
Company, Wednesday last, defaulted on
the interest on the mortgage bond OF
81, 200, 600 due on that day. We under
stand that application has been made TO
the Mercer County Court tor the ap-
pointment of Receiver. Pending this
appointment, the officers of the company
are making vigorous efforts to raise the
necessary funds ($42,000) to meet the
interest, and feel confident of being able
to do so. As very large number OF
these bonds are held in Meadville, this
default may cause some Inconvenience to
the holders, although they feel fully as
sured of their investment. This default
is principally owing to the generally de-
pressed condition of railroad matters dur
ing the first six months of the present
year, but particularly the marked de-
cline of oil shipments by the Standard
Oil Company, whose interests in the
Bradford regions have assumed such
proportions that their principal ship
ments are made from that point.
