Value of Woman,s Work.

Rev. Thomas z. Beecher, writing to
the Chs istidn Union of his camp-hfe
In the woods, gives the following ad-
vice:
"An men ought to go to the woods,
and religiously do their own washing
and general work-such as sewing,
cooking, housekeeping, and dish-wash-
ing. The work of women is not spoken
of sensibly by men until they have done
it themselves. Gentlemen readers, it is
easy to talk But just try it on a very
moderate scale once, and you'll honor
workingwomen more than ever. Do as
I have done-do wash of six pieces
and then remember that a woman turns
OF 200 pieces In q day. Look at your
watch and see how long it takes you.
Look at your soap and see how much
you have used. Look at your white
clothes, handkerchief or towel. and see
what you have done or not done, and
never again speak harshly of or to a
woman on. wash-day, nor of laundry
work as If it were unskilled labor. Try
it. Don't talk. Don't sneer. Try it.
A sympathetic gentleman having washed
two dozen pieces win never change his
shirt again without glow of reverence
and gratitude. She did this. A similar and
sslutary consciousness will come to him
who darns his own socks, patches his
trousers, splices his suspenders, and
washes dishes. Look not every man up
on his own things, but every man also
upon the work of woman. Such an
experience in the woods will go far to-
ward settling the woman question, by
teaching us that we are all members, one
of another. and there must be no schism u

THE term Gotham, often applied IN
mild derision to New York, was first en-
ployed as nickname by Washington
Irving. The name is not an invention,
as is often thought; it is an actual par
ish of Nottingham, England, whose M
habitants were SO proverbially rustic
and stupid that they gained the iron
ical title of the Wise Men of Gotham.
Many stories of their dotishness have
been told upon the Gothamites, one Of
which is that they joined hands on a
certain occasion round thorn-bush to
prevent the escape of q cuckoo. In or
der to confirm the tale, the bush-the
identical bush-is shown to tourists in
that neighborhood. 1t is said that
King John, of Magma Charta memory,
intended once upon a time to go through
the parish for the purpose of buying q
castle and grounds. The Gothamites,
knowing that the royal visit would en-
tail considerable expenses on them,
pretended, when the monarch's mes
sengers appeared, to be occupied with
some silly, ridiculous pursuit, much to
the disgust of the regal emissaries.
These reported to John what they had
seen, and he declared that he would moi
have a castle in a neighborhood where
such simpletons lived. Thereupon the
parishioners shrewdly remarked, More
fools, we wot, pass through Gotham
than remain In it.

The New Orleans Women.

The New Orleans woman proper Is a
Gallo American, or rather an American
Gaul. She may never have been out of
the country, or even out of the State !;
but for all that she is an alien to the
republic in the sense that she has little
knowledge of it and less care for it and
or affinity, she reads French newspapers,
has French habits and opinions, and she
is essentially French in mind and man
ner. She talks English though she
thinks in French she is an inhabitant
of the United States, but citizen of
Louisiana, especially of its metropolis,
most of her grand outings being to ad-
jacent parishes. Once in a while she
may go to St. Louis, or Mobile, or
Charleston, or New York, but if she
does it is o memorable event, and she
regards it as Chicagoan, Bostonian or
New Yorker would regard the circum-
navigation of the globe, a journey to the
interior of Afghanistan or the heart of
Africa. Should the New Orleans wom-
an be young, especially should she be
unmarried, she may be very graceful,
though rarely slender in figure, for
plumpness and roundness come very
early with her. She is usually bru-
nette. Her manners are, as rule, su-
perior to her person. 1t is marvellous
what she can achieve with bit of lace,
haf yard of ribbon or a few flowers.
The New Orleans woman is not very
substantially educated, but such educa-
ton as she has she can put to the best
advantage.-NeaO Orleans Picoyts,ae.

The STRAIGHT of It.

An exchange says: We overheard a
conversation between two little urchins,
which for its intelligence we consider
good. One of them, it appears, had
been engaged in mortal combat with a
companion, and was relating how the
thing occurred. Said he: "Pn tell
you how it was. You see, me and Bill
went down to Turner's tobacco manu-
factory and fished off that old boat, but
we didn't catch any I got one bite and

and he said never had the measles, and
T said for him to fork over that knife,
and he said he couldn't see that fork,
and I said I'd fix him for tombstone at
Volk's, and he said my grandmother was

Swearing punished by Law.

Judge Pershing, of Schuylkin county,
has Just decided a case In his court which
presents some almost-forgotten features
of the Law of this State against swear
ing. join 81. Bashore, an excitable and
somewhat -profane citizen of the county,
on recent occasion got off volley of
twenty-three separate and distinct oaths,
fol which he was arrested and taken be-
rU4e Justice of the Peace, and, under
the law of April %, 1894, fined $16.08.
This fine he refused to pay. He was
committed to jail, and the case was taken
before Judge Pershing on writ of GER
tiorari The act of 1874 provides that
If any person of the age of 16 years
or upward shall profanely curse or swear
by the name of God, Christ Jesus, or the
Holy Ghost, every person SO offending,
being thereof convicted, shall forfeit
and pay the sum of 81 cents for every
such profane curse or oath.
And whosoever of the age of 16 years
or upward shall curse or swear by any
other name or thing than as aforesaid,
and shall be convicted thereof, shall for
felt and pay the sum of 40 cents for
such curse or oath.
| Exception was taken to the ruling of
the Justice on the ground that the arrest
of Bashore should have been by sum-
mons and not by warrant, and suit
should have been brought by an mdi-
vidual informer instead of in the mamie
of the Commonwealth. These excep-
tions were overruled, the decisions of
the higher courts being that the action
was properly brought. But the Justice
failed to return the evidence taken be-
fore him, and this omission Judge
Pershing decided to be fatal to the pro-
ceedings, and he thereupon reversed the
decision of the magistrate. The point
of the decision, however, is in the pithy
conclusion with which Judge Pershing
wound up his decision. He says:
"The general prevalence of profane
swearing indicates that the statute under
which this defendant was convicted had
long been buried out of sight Perhaps
its resurrection in this case may accom-
plish some good, by showing those who
have no regard for the law of God that
the law of the land imposes on them q
penalty of from 40 to 81 cents, to be
followed by imprisonment, accompanied
with diet of bread and water, on re-
fusal to pay for each and every time they
ponute the atmosphere with their pro.
family. Pittsburgh Post.

Capital Punishment In China.

Apropos of the sentence just pro-
nounced upon Chun Hou, formerly the
Ambassador of China at this court, Prof.
Vassiieff furnishes the following explain
ations: According to the latest Pekin
newspapers, Chun Hou, though con-
demned to be hung, is not Immediately
to be put to death, but kept in prison
for the present. Capital sentences are
promptly carried out in the case of IN
surgents and certain other classes OF
criminals, where delay might endanger
the peace of the country. In such cases
even the local magistrate is empowered
to summarily take life if he deems it
necessary. But ordinarily the executions
throughout the empire take place stimuli
taneously at the autumnal equinox, at
which time the Emperor visits the Tenn
pie of Heaven to clear himself of the sin
of shedding blood. Hence, if an ordinary
criminal is sentenced the day after the
autumnal equinox, he has a whole year
of life still before him. Moreover, for
a certain time before the equinox the
Minister of Tortures receives and ex-
amines the lists of the condemned from
all parts of the empire, and reports to
the Emperor the names OF those least
deserving of clemency. The Emperor
then orders some to be executed forth.

Car Nicholas and His Doctor,

On the I'd of March, 1856, when it was
known that the Gar Nicholas had died,
a wild excitement, increasing from day
to day, burst forth against his favorite
physician, DIR. Mandt, the more readily
suspected because he was German.
Busy calumniators spread the news
abroad In all circles that the guilt of the
Emperor's death lay at the door of his
Prussian doctor. Mandt's family, who
were then at Frankfort, were in the
greatest terror, when their fear was re-
moved by dispatch from st. Petersburg
stating that the present Gear, Alexander,
had taken up the defense of the calum-
mated man, having called him into
his presence, thanked him before the
court for the care of his father,
and presented him with magnificent
gold snuff box, richly set with diamonds.
The doctor, 1t appears, has left behind
him a detailed account Of the last days
and hours of his imperial patient. Al
most his only friends at court beside
the Gar himself were the heir to the
throne and the Grand Duchess Helena.
He was an object of violent dislike to
her husband, the Grand Duke Michael
When the Gar was taken Ill Mandt's
meaner foes whispered about that he
would poison their master. The Grand
Duchess Helena warned him of the plots
against his reputation and person. Her
husband called him into private room.
"I found. him in the highest excite
ment," says DR.. Mandt. "I thought
he would seize me by the collar, but my
coolness seemed to make some impress
sion upon him, and he contented him
self by shaking his fist In my face, and
exclaiming, Traitor r" An excited
conversation passed between them, and
the Prince ended by saying, Son the
day upon which the precious health of
the Gar is endangered by your treat
ment, your learned head shall hang up
on your neck by the thinness of single
thread"
Nicholas himself was worked up into q
temporary suspicion of the fidelity of his
doctor. One day, upon feeling himself

were bent upon poisoning me ?"
knew it. Sire" replied the doctor.
"Then do not forget" observed the
Emperor, that you have enemies here,
and many of them" On the night OF
the I'd of March, Mandt had to tell the
Gar the fateful news that his recovery
was impossible. Nicholas received the
information with great calmness. He
ordered the sacrament to be brought,
took leave of the Empress, his children
and grandchildren, kissed them, and
blessed each by name with firm, clear
voice. To the Empress he said: "1
shall send for thee when the last mo.
ment draws nigh. "--London Globe.

South African Diamonds.

The produce of the South African
mines is enormous, and the quality of the
stones, which is frequently marred by a
somewhat tawny complexion, is reported
to be improving. Indeed, twin "drop"
from the Vaal River, skillfully mounted
by Mr.. Sheeter, was declared by experts
to be of Indian extraction. Vast profits
have, of course, been realized. One
gentleman's "claim" is said to have
cleared in two years s45, 900. The New
Rush Mine alone yields, $4,000 day.
In 1875, when the diggers had been at
work only four years, gems to the value
of e3, 500, 600 had been extracted from it.
The packets of diamonds sent by post
bag from Kimberley to Cape Town in
1875 weighed 773 pounds, and were
worth s1 ,414, 500. Nor does there seem
to be any present prospect of the supply
coming to an end. On the contrary,
there is every reason to believe that only
very small portion of the diamantifer-
GUS regions Of South Africa has yet been
explored. -Frdser's Magazine.

The carrier was very tired and hun

WHOLE NUMBER 691.5

His figure is tall and finely shaped. His eye is
clear, blue, inquiring, benignaf1t In repose,
but inspiring in danger and earnestness. In
manners, no man ever surpassed him. He is
the embodiment of knightly courtesy To his
subordinates he was kindliness itself. He put
one at his ease, gave confidence made man
think better of himself-made him think that
he amounted to more than he suspected. This
was one of the secrets of Hancock's success on
the field. Hsncock's reproof, on the other
hand, was not thing to be wished for twice.
He was severe In his requirements and some
times made his colonels and generals wish they
were anywhere but under the plain severity of
his talk. Yet after the lesson was.taught, the
wound was healed by some attention so kindly
and SO gracious, that the object of it felt at last
that he had gained by the transaction. Thus he
was to his subordinates. What he was to his
superiors Is a matter of history. No more loyal
executor Of orders ever bestrode horse
