One Way to Get q Husband.

The ways to matrimony are indeed won- derfuI A story illustrative of this-"a tale of two cities''-comes from Milwaukee and Chicago. The other day Milwaukee gentleman was visited by Chicago merchant and took h1m home to dinner. He was well acquainted with the family, and in con- versation with the charming daugh- ter of his hosts, ralli jed her on her continu- ance in a state of single blessedness. She replied that none of the Milwaukee beaux were to her taste and in an indifferent way inquired if Chicago had any nice young men disengagea. Receiving an affirmative reply she remained minute or two in a brown study and then brightening up said in a ban tering tone, ''Well, you are commission merchant send me down a nice young man and will allow you a commission of ten cents pound.'' Nothing more was said, but the merchant did not forget his commis- sion He thought over the list of available young men, and made mental note of the result
 Nor was that all Afew days later hand some young man, one of Chicago's "best''. and they do have some of the right sort in that city-rang the bell at the door of the Milwaukee mansion, and presented @ note of introduction to the belle of the household from her recent visitor. She was surprised, of course, but fully equal to the occasion The visit was prolonged beyond the expecta- tions of either, and was followed by another and others, and although all this has occurred since the first of January, the wedding cards are out, and the Chicago merchant has re- ceived the first installment on his commission, based on an estimate of one hundred and ninety-fve pounds.

A GOOD WORK

One of the most useful of the many socie- ties for benevolent work in New York city is the Working Women's Protective Union, was incorporated in 1868. It's object, as stated in it's charter, is to promote the inter- ests of women who obtain 8 livelihood by employments other than household service, and especially to provide them with legal pro- tection from the frauds and impositions of interruptions employers. It also assists wo- men in procuring employment and under takes to open new fields of labor for them.
 In city like New York there are many rascals ready to cheat women obliged to work for their living. One of these will advertise for factory girls, and take them on trial for a week without pay, but with the understand ing that they shall be permanently engaged if they show that they can do good work. He will therefore get their best skill, and then at the end of the week turn them of as unsatisfactory and bring in new lot to be swindled in the same way. Another employer will dock dollar off girls pay without any just cause, but because he knows she will submit rather than lose her place, or rather than make fight for so small an amount. Money is refused sick woman for piece work done at home because she cannot come for it herself. A deposit of more than twice the value of the materials is required on work given out to a woman. When they are made np and delivered the deposit is retained and her pittance for the work refused, under the prstence that she has spoiled them. Pay day may, in another case, be put off until the woman is half starved, and then she must go without the money altogether or take less than half the stipulated price, though that may have been only forty cents for days work
 The Working Women's Protective Union, anniversary, has prosecuted over seven thou sand cases of fraud of these and other sorts That total suggests to how great an extent this robbery and this heartless knavery have been going on in New York. And how petty has been the fraud in each case is shown by the circumstance that the amount recovered and paid to working women has been only about $25, ,OOO, or less than three dollars and a half on the average of prosecutions. The PAOoCSueS0 treasurer's report for last year is less than $2, 200. But the union has also settled at least twenty thousand cases without the aid of the law. The rascally employers are afraid of it, and pay up when called to account Theun- ion is therefore, as the New York Sun says, standing menace to the men, and women too who engage in this nefarious business. They. know that, no matter how small the amount unjustly withheld it will be prosecuted, though the legal costs be never so great. In exciting the terror of the evildoers it fulflIs it's best purpose.
 The cost of this most valuable work has not been great, and charitable people who have contributed funds to carry it on have the satisfaction of knowing that they have done much to better the condition of the working women of New York, and have also done service to fair and honorable en- blowers

 The writer of an elaborate treatise on the
 
 proof readers. He meant to say, "The soul of man is of divine origin the body of man is of Satan.'' But the wicked printers have made him say that 'the body of man is of satin" This, however, is not worse than the case of the line of hymn, which, by sim liar manipulation or lack of carefulness, was changed from the triumphant expres- sion, 'tWe raise our lofty shouts, Ito the very ludicruous and unpoetical one, ''Ws raise our lofty snouts." Thus does old Satan slyly in terfere with that which was meant for good.
 There is no more common sight on the streets of Galveston than @ moving house. Even two-story frame houses, by the liberal use of able-bodied mules and rollers, are re- meved from their sites to vacant lots many blocks distant This explains what Bill Pitz meant when. after the oyster supper was over few nights ago and he started for home, Gilhooly found him holding on to lamp post and circulating 'Whipup yer mules. :" 'sWhat do you mean, Bill?'' ''What do you shuppose mean? Are you so intossicated yer can't shee? I can't crosh street till house gets pasht, can I? Whip up yer mules." The house that Pitz thought was moving was of brick, four stories high, and kept in place by heavy mortgage. Galoes- ton Neecs

Theodore Thomas on American Violfns.
 From Snrihner March


 It is generally acknowledged that we make the best pianos. Our organs are good, and our brass and reed instruments are of su- perior quality. But the most noteworthy fact of all is that we are making the best vio- lins. Some of the first living violinists claim that the violins made by George Gemunder are worthy to rank with those of the famous Italian makers, needing only age to prove their great excellence. MT. Gemunder, who has shown himself master in this most diff fcult art, says that we have an extraordinary variety of woods suitable for instrument mak- ing, and that his experience, which he has dearly bought by indefatigable labor since 1847, shows our woods to be in no way inferior to the best used by the old Italian makers. We have, further more, an abundant supply, whereas in Eu- rope there is great scarcity The rough tone of the violins of German manufacture is due largely to the inferior quality of the wood. A striking tribute to the superiority of MT. Gemunder's work is furnished by the follow ing authentic anecdote At the Vienna Ex- hibition there was collection of the best specimens of violin making. It included not only the famous instruments of the Italian makers, but those of modern workmanship. MT. Gemunder sent remarkable violin, made by him after the pattern of Joseph Gurrne- rius The judges, who had been selected from all parts of Europe to pronounce upon the merits of the various instruments, refused to admit this particular one to competition, de- claring that the competitor was trying to de- ceive them with genuine old instrument in an unusually good state of preservation,

Eckley B. Coxe, who, 1t will be remembered, announced himself unable to take the oath prescribed by the Constitution, in the Penn sylvania Senate, on the first day of the ses- sion, and read statementi showing expendi- lures in his campaign which he regarded as not ''expressly authorized by law" It is now stated that a new and dramatic feature will be developed in the case. MT. Co1e has been elected Senator over again and will probably arrive at Harrisburg to take his seat to-day or to o-morrow, and it will then be seen whether or not he takes the oath. If he should not he will again forfeit his seat if he should, the point will be raised that he is disqualified, and liable to an indictment for perjury, rendered incapable of ever again holding public office in the State. The Con- stitution requires an oath to be taken that 'I have not knowingly violated any election law of this Commonwealth, or procured it to be done by others in my behalf" But it is now argued that MT. Coxe, in the statement which he read on declining to take the oath, explicitly admitted that, in his belief, he had violated the act of Assembly defining more particularly the language of the Constitution It is, therefore, held that to have done so in his November canvass disqualifes him now. The matter, it is presumed, will be referred to the Committee of Elections for report, and it's merits will be closely inquired into, though the Democrats threaten that if MT. Coxes case is put under the investigating harrow, they will retort by insisting on prob ing into the canvasses made by Republican Senators and Representatives who did not show equal hesitation in taking the oath. Mir. Co1es case is one especially noteworthy, both from the fact of his declining to take the oath, an unprecedented proceeding-andf from the enormous expenditure of money which he made in .Luzerne county in November, the amount being estimated as high as $75,OOO, by persons whose means of knowing gives their statement respect.

Referring to statement that the assessed real property of the colored people of staun- ton, Virginia, amounts to only $26,ooo, the Staunton Vtaytnian says that instead of the amount named they own property valued at over $1OO, ,oO0, which is not bad showing when it is remembered that every property owner was a slave before the war, and almost every one has family to support. If, adds the Viayirsiam, the aggregate of property owned by the colored people in the larger cities and smaller towns were ascertained and published, it would stop the sneers about their paying no taxes

Each pilot tries to make all that he can and much prefers to collect half rates and render no service, than to get full pilotage and miss better chances for gain.
