The HerOism OF Sex.

There IS a pleasant fiction about the
ideal woman that invests her with an
unreal and intangible presence as it she
were the creation of some other sphere,
borrowed in the mundane life for a tran
STORY, charmed existence.
To this end poets chant her praise in
immortal verse; sculptors giAe her fame
in life-like marble; artists work their
souls into the canvass upon which they
recreate her, and the highest skill of the
civilized world is evoked in costly laces
and fabrics that will add to her lowell.
ness.
To this is added myster GUS charm
of weakness, dependence; as if this beau
tiful pink and white doll were puppet,
to be moved only at an owners will, or a
dainty keepsake, to be guarded under a
glass case Of conservative possessions.
The weakness of women is tavorite
theme with men who are not thoroughly
conscious of their own strength.
They turn contemporary away from
the advice of wife or sister, and keep all
their business and plans to themselves,
until a crash comes.
Then they settle back on that weak
ness to help bear the burden, and even
condescend to listen to some plans for
the future and receive sympathy and
help from those weak members Of the
family, who work all day and lie awake
al night thinking, planning, and help
ing, while the strong man breaks down.
There IS no indication of weakness.
then. g. H%@. .H.ns
Some one has truly said that woman s
instinct is better than mans reason ;
and when she sees her dear ones
threatened with disaster, she knows no
weakness, but comes up with all her
colors flying.
It is her nature to 'ssufer and be
strong," to tire herself with much serv-
ing, to give largely out Of the great in
come of love.
There is strength Of far greater value
than that of bone and muscle, or even of
brain it is the strength Of woman's love,
which will survive shame, sorrow, neg
lect and death; for she will leave it as a
legacy to her children. 81
The weakness is the heroism that
brightens the pages of history and the
hearth of the humblest home, and will
outlast the mental force and physical
calibre of the strongest man.
circumstances have made it necessary to
hedge women with thousand conven-
tionalities. They do not prove her weak
ness or the need Of barriers, for she can
oyerleap them all If one she loves is on,
the other side and sends up cry for help.
But it would be we we'll for her did her
d uties lie serenely within their circum-
scribed limits. The world is full of
cheap protection for women, which does
not Tighten one actual load and this SEN
tlmental moralizing over her weakness is
the cheapest and poorest of all. 1t is
base disloyalty, too; for has she
not proved herself, from remote ages,
a patient and faithful yoke-fellow,
strong to do, to suffer, to die for those
she loves?

The Dignity Of Office.
From the Detroit Free Press.

fTotu tuo DeIrOlC free PreSS.
A Detrolter, who was rusticating in
one OF the wilderness counties Of Michi-
gan, was enc day out hunting when he
came upon a hamlet consisting of a saw
mill, two houses and log barn. The
sign of Post Office greeted his vision
over door in one Of the houses, and he
investigated. The Office was an s by 10

numbered just four. A written sign on
the wall announced that the mail arrived

The P. M. didn't shake his head and
crush the inquirer's hopes all at once, as
some officials do, but slowly arose, looked
carefully into each one of the empty
boxes, peered into all old cigar-box on
the window sill, aud then answered:

An Expert Scientist.

The murder Of Mary Stannard in Con
necticut, and the arrest Of the Rev. Mr.
Hayden on the charge Of being the MUIR
derer, are fresh in memory. His trial is
soon to come off and science has been
preparing the testimony. Professor
White has had Mr.. Haydcns knife-blade
under his microscope, and has examined
every speck thereon. ,s5s,,4,5f a{

And the Rev. Mr.. Hayden looked as
interested and innocently earnest at the
Professor while tins testimony was going
on as the student does to the Professor
in college at the climax of an experiment
in natural philosophy. He atterward

there. .a .ral @l}a
"Just So" Lawyer Jones said; 'blood

Professor White was obliged to admit
that science had not yet got so far as to
be able to distinguish Mary STANDARDS
blood from this Rev. Mr.. Hayden's. So
the blood stains ON the knife went for
naught with the Justice, and he dis
charged Mr.. Hayden.
But science did not let 90 Of the case.
The microscope, chemicals, measure

would blow away, have, it is
row said, made discovery. The muscles
of the flesh of Mary STANDARDS neck near
the stab that killed her, have been re-
solved to their original gases and ele-
ments. so as to discover any foreign mat
ter, such as speck of steel, when that
which had been Mary STANDARDS neck
had become vapor under the chemist s
manipulation. @@T
Then the microscope was put upon the
clean, white paper, that would catch any
foreign substance and hold it, 10 the

nothing more than aspeck like dust, that
Whit of wind might have blown there
but on it the microscopic placed glass
that could make one hair seem the size of
a rope, and then the speck resolved itself
into rusty little piece of steel, with
clearly defined form. It must have come
from the blade of the knife that killed
Mary Stannard.
Now the glass IS run along the blade
of the Rev. Mr.. Hayden's knife, on which
Professor White found blood. There are
one or two little nlcks seen in it, too
large to match this little piece. At last a
defect is discovered. It seems as though
the little speck on the white paper, if ap.
piled to this defect would just fit it; and
by the most delicate manipulation the
fitting is successfully done; and the pros
ecuting officers are informed that the sa
wants have discovered spcck of steel thai
dropped from the fleshy parts around the
wound that Just fits nick in the blade
Of the Rev. Hayden's knife.

A Deserter's Luck.

A few years ago a young soldier, a
fine, athletic, manly fellow belonging
to Company E., Infantry, United
States army, deserted from his regi-
ment The cause of his action was
found in the fact that he had quarrel
with his captain; he considered that the
officer had grossly wronged him, and,
being a man of generous impulses, he
days he bore under it; but at last, in
moment of despera ton, he packed up
few articles of clothing in pocket
handkerchief and quilted the camp.
Fearful lest he might be apprehended
and forced to undergo the degrading
punishment usually melted cut to army
deserters, he began wild rowing career,
never remaining long in one place, and
very frequently concealing his name
and identity: When the rush began in
the Black Hills the tdeserter Joined in
and short time after found him IN
that region of gold an impecunious
prospector. Still ne did not despair, as
he thought more of bis safety from ar
rest than of any gain Of gold. One day,
few months after his arrival In the
Hills, he fancied he saw a man whom he
knew. Unobserved he gathered his
worldly goods together and left. When
the I4eadville excitement broke out our
hero went thither. He had become lit
tie better in worldly eyes than tramp,
and resolved, if possible, to make a
stake in order to at least maintain his
self-lcspect. After time ftrtune's IA
vors came in his way. From poor pros
pector he became a mine owner, and a
few months since one of his carbonate
claims, which had been before abandon
ed by former owners, became property of
immense importance in the great camp
From that time the mans fortune con-
tinued to increase, and he is to- day doing
as big a business in the carbonate land
as any there. His old fear has, however,
been lowering over him like a pail, and
of late this has been a source of intense
anxiety to him. Now that wealth and
position had come, he found the cares
Increased, and the mere thought that he
was liable to arrest and imprisonment in
a military prison for the odious crime of
desertion led him to begin making
plans to procure pardon. To be sure,
it was most delicate task. He knew
not whom'to trust He had married, and
bright and beautiful children had graced
his hearth. Great Heavens! if this hap
piness were to be dispelled now, what
would he do? The thought was terrible
At last, by careful observation, he found
a man of influence and standing whom
he believed to be his friend, and to whom
he could impart his vexatious secret with
some hope Of getting relief from his oner-
GUS burden. The tlust was well-placed,
for less than three days ago a letter was
sent to the chief executive Of the State,
saying that the man had become an up
right and substantial citizen. and asking
that an influence be brought to bear up
on the war office for his pardon for the
military crime of years ago. So ends
the tale. 1t is true one, and, probably,
when the Secretary of War returns the
necessary documents, more will be given
concerning the man and his affairs,
for they are now highly interest
ing. There are not more than three
men in the world who know who he is,

Pretty American Women in Paris.

III. Jennings in the New York World
gives the American ladies in Paris the
following fist class puff: ut is scarcely
too much to say that they are the only
pretty women one ever sees about our
streets. Wherever she. may go the Ameri-
can woman bears off the palm of beauty,
and l for one can recognize her mile off.
The French women, it is true, knows
how to bring art to, the help of nature
and it is difficult sometimes to tell wheth-
ec she is pretty or not, SO sklllfully is she
dressed and rugged out. But the Ameri-
can woman IS quite her equal in taste,
and in all other respects nature has given
her overwhelming advantages, so that
the Parisienne finds herself at this sea-
son of the year routed in her own capital
by the fair New. Yorker or Philadcl-
phian." - .''@a -

The C0nkling-L Lamar Quarrel.

The Washington Correspondent of
the New York"Times'' of yesterday says,
that during yesterday there was con-
siderable talk about a challeng, and the
code duello has been discussed with
reference to which of the gentlemen is
required to make the first movement.
Mr.. Conkling will not talk about the
matter, but his friends scout the idea
of his sending a challenge. They think
if Mr.. Lamar can rest under the epi-
thets applied to him, Mr.. Conkling
should and will be satisfied. A South
ern Republican said tonight that, re-
gardless of what Mr.. Lamar said
about the falsity of Mr.. Conkling's
statement, he cannot, in obedience to
Southern sentiment, sit quietly under
the terrific denunciation of that gen.
tleman. On the other hand, the friends
OF Mr.. Lamar say that he first put the
insult upon Mr.. Conkling, and that
