in which he was at the whist table with a few
gentlemen Of the old school. and snnounced that

close at hand for the opening of the morning ses-

Employment of Women.

The AustinlStatesman is jubilant over the
adoption by the Texas Senate of resolution
requiring the employment of women in the
State Departments.
Yesterday inl the halls of the Senate
Chamber there WAS walked light which, fed,
will lead poor woman in Texas to feel that
she is disenthralled, that she is saved, re-
deemed from that shame which cold and
false society fonRes her to assume because OF
poverty and wretchedness; because of .

that women are lit alone TO handle Children
or TO cook and to wash and TO scrub, to hoe,

CARLYLE, in his "reminiscences. says he saw
in one of the mourning coaches at the
funeral of the Duke OF Wellington an official
dignitary reading newspaper. Mr.. George
Augustus Sala writes to the Loadon Times
that Carlyle must have been mistaken. and
adds: 81 hope that l shall not be thought
obtrusive in endeavoring to clear away what
imagine to have been a misconception ON
the part of the eyewitness at Bath House.
Nothing, / conceive, is trivial which con-
Germs the life and death of Arthur, Duke of
Wellington and Prince of Waterloo, and it
would be a pity if in book like the
"reminiscences of Mr.. Carlyle. which will
live, there went down uncommented upon
toposterity a statement calculated to favor
the inference that any official or dignitsry'
who took part in most solemn and inn
pressive pageant could be guilty of an act of
irreyerence to the memory of the illustrious
dead" Carlyle was, doubtless, correct.

THE pork scare is one of the most import
ant events that has transpired in CONNER
cial circles for some time past. Mr.. Blaine,
Secretary of State, is taking a hand in the
business, and the British ambassador, Sir
Henry Thornton. does not regard the sub
ject too plebeian for his semi-royalpen. The
American hog has rooted an entrance to the
Council Chambers of Diplomats, and gained
a recognition which speaks well for his COM
mercial importance. As might be supposed,
Chicago bristles up on the subject, and is
quick to prepare statements, official and
semi official, with regard to the swine fam
lily of the Sucker State. In a recent report,
the Chicago Board of Trade says:
The Tax Assessors and Department OF Agricul-
ture agree that 1879 and 1880 were exceptionally
healthy years. The most authentic figures are as
follows:

Gigantic Scheme.

A Philadelphia special of the 10th, to the Com
mercial, gives the scope of a gigantic scheme to
run ship canal through the State of Florida:
Now that the Philadelphia capitalists who are
about to reclaim the immense tracts of land in the
State of Florida known as the Everglades have
completed their contracts with that State il is no
longer a secret that one of the .main features of
the gigantic scheme il the building OF shin canal
across the State of Florida This project is almost
equal in importance to. that of reclaming the
u 900 eco acres of the richest land in the world
south of the frost-belt. ship canal
across the State of Florida has been the
dream of engineers for many years In
would not only shorten the distance be-
tween the American ports on the Atlantic Coast
and all European ports to New Orleans Mobile
and all shipping points the Gulf of Mexico
but IL would avoid the dangers TO navigation
which are experienced on the countless keys and
coral reefs off the southern and southwestern
coast of Florida. All ship Captains know of this
danger which is-often aggravated by hurricanes
which are common to the southwark of Florida
but which are comparatively unknown on the
west coast in the region of Tampa Bay. Ii is
well known that number of New York capital
lists have been endeayoring for some years to get
a charter from the State of Florida to build ship
canal, but the Philadelphia Company, with a
great deal of shrewdne IS, has got ahead of them
In connection with the Isthmus Canal, now in
the course of construction under NJ. Ferdinand
DeLesseps the Florida Canal must at once attract
the attention of the capitalists not only of Amer
lea, but of Europe.

I / Per-
Deaths. centage.


The Board of Trade Committee mentions as a
popularity of the reports that whether hog dies
of hunger. thirst, lung disease, exposure or of
cold, cholera is always named as the agent. This
is due to lamentable ignorance among farmers
as to the symptoms Of hog diseases. In view of
these there is very little to question the
healthy condition of mature hogs when ready for
market. and the increased health OF the animals
is due to the better care taken of them Of late
years. There is no trichinosis whatever.
1t is not probable that the hog scare will
continue for any considerable length OF
time. and one good effect is likely to result:
Federal and State Governments will be in
duced to pay more attention to the diseases OF
domestic animals, and the great importance
Of the subject will be impressed upon farm
ers and provision dealers. The number OF
swine in the United States. January, 1879, is
set down at 3476e 100 by the Department
of Agriculture. OF these the Western pork
packing States are credited with 1925, 200,

The machinery for hanging men is very
imperfect in South Carolina. as was shown
a few days since when the sentence of the
Court was brought to bear upon the neck of
a culprit. When the trap was sprung the
halter broke, and the miserable wretch fell
to the ground writhing in agony. He was
taken up and compelled to wait on the
scaffold until a new rope was procured from
an adjacent hardware store. With the
amount of hanging there is in this Christian
land. the business should be done with
decency and dispatch.

A Huge RInAa en-
In respect to an extra session OF Congress
Washington special SAYS:


Washington specials
In all the talk about called session that is now
so current in political circles in Washington one
fails to find any who really believe that a called
session will be anything but huge blunder. Re-
publicans now regard Mr. Hayes veto as a great
mistake, and the best among them fail to see how
a special session could remedy that blunder. II
is all nonsense 20 talk about ali extra session
being able 10 get through with funding bill and
adjourn within five or six. weeks, has been
claimed by some of the advocates of special ses-
sion. In the first place.. II will probably take
three weeks TO organize the House. The new
Speaker will be an inexperienced man. and il
will take him at least that time to make up his
Committees, even II the Republican officers of
the House are elected without much opposition.
Then the new House, made UP largely of mex
perienced members will be very unwieldly and
impossible 10 control. The neg members who
have their gripsacks filed with bills could not be
repressed. IL special session il called il will
certainly be here during greater part of the
summer There is not a business man in the
country who desires to Congress in session be-
fore next winter. The whole movement is con-
fined entirely TO the politicians, who think that
the failure To pass the funding bill will lose the
Republicans some Off the close Northern States in
the coming election. There Is nothing more GER
tain than the fact that If the Republicans had
Congress here now they GOULD pass no measure OF
legislation Objectionable to, the Democrats. This
whole question of acalled session will be decided
positively this week. The betting odds now are
IN its favor.

amount Of prizes was 1854, 126 lire, and the
net income to the Government zs,721 ,6ls
lire. The sixty-seven chiefprovincisIt towns,
with go lottery offices and sspopulasion OF
4,019,4 40 inhabitants, caused the enormous
sum of 1901, s14 lire to flow into the Treas
ury. The rural districts, with 1, l02 offices,
and g, 145,04 inhabitants. contributed "a
461. 454 lire; in other words, the population
of the chief provincial towns paid volun-
tary tax of 10 lire II centesimi per capita,
that of the rural districts only lire IL cent
esimi, making an average Of 2 lire So cent
esimi for every Italian subject of either
sex. If there were no laws in the United
States prohibiting lotteries, or If the Gov
eminent would tolerate them and tax them
at the same time, statistics would show that
here the people would willingly be taxed
quite as heavily as in Italy. To take risks
is a human failing by no means peculiar to
Italy.

THE exact facts with regard to Window,
as reported, by unexceptionable authority,
are that "Mr Blaine controls Window; Mr..
Sherman owns Window, and had him put
in the Treasury in order that he might man.
age the Nations finances four years longer
through deputy; Mr.. Garfield appointed
Window as a nobody, because the President
wants to be his own Secretary of the Treas
ury." Some enterprising reporter ought to
interview Window, or, in Senate parlance,
'tuncoye-" him.

up set for the first dance, a lancers, about
twenty feet from where the Presidential set
would have danced had Mr.. Garfield con-
sented to take part. There they re-
manned all the evening, taking part
in every square dance that was on the
programme. Some of the younger of the

Elliott and his wife and one little black bar
Der named Ellsworth. who works in one OF

racquet, but somehow they did not seem to
grab the notion and could not make q
success of it. Pinchback busted himself

white, and. like Mrs. Bruce, is a remarkably
fine-looking woman. Both are well-educated
and have an intense weakness for diamonds,

fine opening at the inaugural ball for Presi-
dent Garfield and his representatives TO
have done the handsome thing by the col
ored people in the way of recognition. The
President, if he did not choose to dance a
Highland fling hornpipe or jig, could
have invited Mrs. Bruce or Mrs. Pinchback
to promenade with him. He could have set
the example, which would have been fol.
lowed by other distinguished Republicans.
Secretary Blaine could have limped around
with the wife of the colored barber, while
Secretary Hunt could have hobnobbed with
the wife of an ex-Congressman. Nothing of
the sort was done. The colored Republic

something from Neal BOWS account of how
the liquor trade is carried on in Portland.
He says the dealers have their liquor in a
pint bottle or two in the coat pocket, or a
tin case made to fit the body, worn under
the coat, with Quart OF whisky; or half a
