CONCEkNING WOMEN.

The most successful woman preacher in
America is Miss Shaw, who expounds the
Gospel in neat little church in fishing
town of Massachusetts, and regularly draws
salary of 1850 year.
Mrs Oswald Ottendorfer, the wife of the
editor Of the New York Stats Zeitung,
manages the paper left to her by her hus-
band, and mainly through her efforts it has
become a very valuable property, worth at
least 100000. She goes to the office every
day and directs its management generally.
Even in this degenerate age there are still
left some ladies who know what is due 20
their own dignity. We give an anecdote illus
trating this: A certain gentleman had for
some time admired certain lady without
knowing her. She had been informed that
he desired TO know her, and it CHANGED one
day that they met at the house of n friend
and were introduced. Exhibiting his sud-
den sense of satisfaction at the encounter,
he darted eagerly forward, and with hands
extended, exclaimed: "Happy TO meet you,
Miss F.; delighted to make your ac-
quaintance.p The lady suffered the pend
ent hand to lie before her as she replied:
you haven't made it yet, sir" giving him
to understand that the acquaintance of n
lady is not made from a single introduction,
nor is her hand to be shaken as it were a
Chinese puzzle. Its to be hoped that the
over bold youth protited by the lesson.
Women OF the poorer classes, observes a
recent essayist, have for various obvious
reasons less inducement to provide for the
future than men. Most of them hope one
day to be provided for in the way women
have been in the habit of deemiDg most
blessed from all time. Yet for other reasons
equally obvious, though not now to be dis
cussed here, habits of independence and self
support are, and will Increasingly be, more
desirable for them even than for men. Take
the case of a little maid. The msid-servant
who has succeeded in putting aside by her
own exertions a little sum of money makes
herself prize in the matrimonial market.
Not only is it little nest egg in itself, but
it bears witness to the qualities of the woman
who has saved it. The young tradesman
DESTROYS of settling" or the steady man
servant who thinks of retiring from service
and letting lodgings for gentlemen" Graves
such partner. None but a steady, prudent
girl would have achieved such thing. In
her he finds the stuff to make steady,
prudent wife, So thst the dozen years
carefulness which began with the first saw
lngs has proved TO be an admirable and sue
ceSslul investment for life.

"True," said Deacon Goodenough, in a
spirited discussion with Elder Crossley on
the creation, ''true, woman came after man.
But man didn't keep her waiting minute,
and III bet money on it." which" re-
piled the elder, sis where she differs from
him, for when man goes after a woman
nowadays, she keeps him waiting an easy
half hour at the very shortest"

defeat Of the Riddlebarger bill, we do
not now know. 1t is certain Ii has the
backing of the Administration at Wash
ington, and of the Funders in the Legis-
lature, the latter having, it is said,
agreed in caucus to support 1t. We
have no idea 1t can pass, and the only
effect, and perhaps the only object aimed
at, Is the defeat of any debt bill at all
this session, and another appeal to the
people. If the Funders had taken this
position last year they could have held
1t. As 1t is they have simply fallen back
under the bayonet charge Of the Read
justers to APPOINT no longer tenable.-
As soon as they begin to entrench, they
will find they are digging into a bed of
scrpents' teeth planted by themselves in
1871. The whole design is to prevent
any action at all now.

Important to County Treasur-
6TQ

Atty. General FIELD furnished the
Finance Committee of the House of
Delegates with an opinion to the effect
that those collecting officers of the State,
who collect the revenue, and use the
same for their own purposes, failing to
pay ii over 10 the State Treasury, may
be tried and convicted Of larceny, and
imprisoned in the Pcnitentiary. Secre-
tary Shin, of the Alexandria Building
Association, is now in the Pehitcntiary
serving out three year term for using
$685., 80, which came officially into his
hands, and the Supreme Court Of the
State has affirmed the correctness Of the
verdict. This will make il rather bilious
for quite number of our State officers,
unless they arrange new style of set
tcment with the Auditors. One of the
Danville Treasurers has dclaulted, we
learn, for 1000. The late Store keeper
of the Penitentiary was short $35, 900,
and a large number of the county Treas
urers are largely in arrears. The Audi
tor reports $50 thousand dollars due on
taxes of 1872 to 1880, inclusive. Massey
means business, and will play new
broom.

Funeral of wilmer Lancaster

The funeral sermon of the lamented
a. w. Lancaster was preached at p.
last Thursday at the Methodist church
by Rev. Geo. s. Gibbs, who based his
remarks on the 18th verse of the 00lh
Psalm. $50 teach US to number our
days that we may apply our hearts unto
WISDOM" The vast edifice was ilne-
quail to the accommodation of the great
crowd that assembled. Mr..Gibbs' re-
marks were frank and manly. Dlsdain-
ing the usual method of soothing "by
flattery the dull cold ear of DEATH" he
told the truth, and such Lad been the
manly virtues and disngenious nature
of this noble young man, that strict truth
artessly told was all his most ardent
friends desired. An immense cortege
followed the remains to the cemetery,
where the sadly beautiful burial service
of the Episcopal church was read. And
then the grave which, in an hour of
mental overthrow, seemed 80 much COW
eted by Wilmer Lancaster, closed forev-
er over his remains. The pail bearers
were Mess. Darlington, Dunn, O'Kecfe,
Bunting, Roland johnson and s. NJ.
Rhea. These young gentlemen had sent
to Chattanooga for fresh flowers, from
which fair hands had woven the fragrant
wreath and the cross that decorated the
casket in which he sleeps the sweet sleep
of death. BY way Of illustrating the
popularity Of the deceased and the high
esteem IN which he was held by all who
had the good fortune to know him well,
one of our leading young men, on the
way to the cemetery, remarked TO the
writer of this, III wonder if, when
come to die, will have MS many friends
as had Wilmer Lancaster?"

The Veto.

Gov. HOLIDAY has vetoed the bill dc.
priving him of all participation in the
appointment or removal of the Clerk,
Surgeon, and assistant superintendent
Of the Penitcntiary. Heretofore for 81
years, the Superintendent could only
appoint these officers, or remove them
by consent Of the Governor. The bill
placed the whole matter In the hands OF
the Superintendent himself. The ground
on which his Excellency bases the veto
Is that there should be some check on
the association of officials who admins
ter the whole power and discipline Of
that large institution.
