Poor EcoNoMY.-There is no poorer
economy than that of cutting short good
reading in the family-especially that
which is necessary to keep up fresh
knowledge of the movements Of society
of doings and events in ones own

ments in agriculture, art and SCIENCE

saying nothing of politics and the gov
ernment. Cutting down the reading is
worse than cutting down luxuries for
the person or the home. 1t is dropping
out a real necessary to fitness, courage
and ability for the stern labors and tolls
of daily life. 1t is failure to supply

Moreover, while the assertion is not
true that all women employed in the
Treasury are looking forward to ambl-
tious matches, it is true that in the past
twelve years wives have been taken
from the Treasury Department by n
Senator (Christiancy, member OF the
House of Representatives, who suose-
quently became member OF Grants
Cabinet (Tyner), and two Governors
of States (Fairchild and Chamberlain,
and a Charge de Affaires of foreign
legation, Baron Won Havre, OF Bel
gum, who as recently mentioned IN
the Times, married, in 1867 or 1868,
Miss Camilla Webb, of this city, a
young lady of excellent family and no.
BILE disposition. =, :,
When such sneers as have assailed
Christiancy ever since he honorably
married the young girl he loved, are to
be expected, it is certainly no small
test of moral courage to any other pub
lie man to follow his example. where.
fore, it seems to me, in the interest OF
public morals, such comments should
not be published. On the other hand
it is enough to make any woman, who
is sensitive to such sneers as that made
by General Butler at the Treasury, us
school from which to graduate wives,
fear to earn an honorable support IN
any government department, which
again would not be in the interest OF
public morals. 1t is sadly true that
such women as Agnes jerks and Mary
Oliver find it easy to obtain these
cerkships, when pure women, whose
needs are much greater and who Wouid
be faithful clerks, find it difficult, II
not impossible, to secure an appoint
ment.
In this connection it is proper to
mention that Judge Brewster, who
stands high among the lawyers and
public men of Pennsylvania, and was
Attorney General of that State, mar
ried lady employed in the Treasury
Department. She is a daughter OF
Robert J. Walker, who was once Secre-
tary of the Treasury. A pretty thing,
truly, to sheer at Senators and Cabinet
officers taking wives from the Treasury,
when among its employees are the
daughters and widows of men once
esteemed as Senators and members OF
the Cabintt. The daughter of Chief
Justice fancy was employed there at
one time, and I am not sure that she is
not now. am glad to be able to as
sert that the best society of Washing
ton is always open to ladies employed
in the departments, if by birth, educa-
ton and manners they would, under
other circumstances, be entitled to en-
ter it.
Jewel, when Postmaster General,
showed his good feeling in a convers-
ltion with the daughter Of John Y.
Mason, who went to hin to ask clerk
ship for herself. He said: "This pains
me greatly, for when your father was
to France [ was in Paris. and
felt my position in life to be so differ
emit from his that I hesitated about call
ing on him, and now his daughter
comes to ask me for a 5000 clerkship,"
He not only showed appreciation of the
situation but gave the appointment,
md the lady still has it, She and her
daughters are welcomed at the most ex-
elusive parties given here.

JULIA vs.. SUTRO.

The Tunnel Company Said to be
On the Eve Of Enjoining the
Julia Company from Pumping
Into the Big Adit.
If reports are true, there is trouble
brewing for the Julia Company.
Some months ago, it will be remem-
bered, the Julia Company agreed to
pay large sum of money 100000,
we believs) for the privilege of dis
charging their water in the Sutro
Tunnel, and steps we're at once taken
to carry the agreement into effect.
When the Julia got ready, the water
was taken by the tunnel company,
and everything went "merry as a
marriage bell" until few days ago,
when 1t was ascertained that the dis
charge Of the Julia water greatly re-
tarded the work of cutting the tun.
mel drain. Then there was growing
on the part of the big mines
and an injunction was talked
about. The Julia Company continued
to pump as though nothing had
been said, whereupon papers we're
prepared to apply to the District
Court for an injunction to restrain
the Julia Company from pumping
into the tunnel. Thus the matter
stood last Monday, when it was re-
ported in Virginia that the papers
only awaited Adolph Sutro's sigma
turc to be filed in court.
