willing to give them a comfortable
support, who have stated employ
ment in some business, trade or pro-
fession and who are now contented
and happy in the doing. Not only
that, bat they have the respect OF
society, although through lack of
leisure they do not seek society's
suffrages.
That this state Of things is becom-
ing more and more and more fixed
and permanent IS evident from such
paragraphs as the following, and
these are but few out of the many:
Miss Garfield, of Manistee, Mich,
Vassar graduate, finding society
lite irksome, begged some regular
employment, and was put in the
office of her father, who is the owner
of the largest tug line on the lakes.
Another Vassar girl is conducting a
successful insurance business in the
same city.
Miss Margaret Hicks, a recent
graduate OF Cornell, has adopted the
architects profession.
There are few who cannot think
of girls and woman among their own
acauaintances that have grown
restive under the demands of society,
to answer which requires q large
investmenJ Of strength, energy and
good nature, an investment which
returns at best little interest, often
none at all and sometimes leaves
the investor bankrupt. They are
looking anxiously around for some
thing to do which shall occupy both
hands and brains, willing to give up
the chance of social triumphs if only
Trey may feel that they are really
living.
Aud society is growing better and
aud purer for this change in woman's
ambitions, Enough are lett yet
whose duties preclude any stead v
outside employment, who do not
desire it, but who nave the leisure
and the wish to be in society and OF
society. They can keep alive the
social genialities, can dispence the
graceful hospitaliLies that are neces-
sary in order to throw beauty and
poetry around earnest, practical life.
The work! could no more do without
the womanly society leader, with hel
beauty and accomplishments than ii
could without the artist and the poet.
But the tendency of the past has been
for every girl and woman to strug
gle Tor social supremacy, and failing
in that to become nonentity. Oc-
cupation and independence has
brought a healthier way of thinking,
a true appreciation of life and its
possibilities, and a higher moral tone
which will do much towards sol7in !
some OF the social problems of til.
day.-Toledo Blade.

SILK MANuFAcTURE-WHY NOT MORE
SUCCESSFUL In THIS COUNTRY.

Citing the $50, 100000 of silk fab
RIGS produced in this country, Consul
Peixotto writing from Lyons, re-
marks that we have not single silk
filature worthy of the name, and are
dependent entirely upon Europe and
Asia for the raw material. There
are two questions? Can we raise silk?
And can we reel it? The first has
already been answered, because, hav.
ing ascertained that the mulberry
will do well in this country, ability
to raise the worm follows. AS TO
reellng, the impossibiity ofcompeting
by hand labor with 80 cents a day
paid in Europe for reeling and to
10 cents in China and Japan is evil
IDENTIFY hopeless. Machinery must
find the way out of the problem, if
there is any. An American engineer.
who "believed it possible to invent
machinery which, by the use and
application of electricity, would not
only overcome existing difficulties
and produce superior quality of
thread, bit solve at the same time
the all importans labor question, and
render silk-reeling in the United
States as possible and profitable as
anywhere else IN the world,' has been
studying the subject in Europe, and
Mr.. Peixotto thinks he has been
successful. The decline in Frenel,
filatures he ascribes to inferior crops.
decreased consumption of pure silk
goods, superiority of Italian failures
and competition in China and Japan.
The picture in his minds eye is the
successful establishment here of every
branch Of silk industry, from the leaf
to the perfect fabric. and he flatters
himself that what the cotton gin has
done for cotton this new invention
lWhich ne does not describe) may do
for silk, and that this country NAV
accomplish in silk all it has accom-
pl shed i'll cotton fabrics. There has
been marked cheapening of silks
already, vrey fair black fabrics now
being obtainable at retail for $I.5o
which woald have cost So ,25 Is years.
ago, and this is not quite all ascrib-
able to appreciation of currency. Of
all textile materials, silk is the
warmest, the 1ightest relative to
warmth, the most flexible and most
agreeable to The body, for the strong
est, and is incomparably superior
in respect to denying and facility of
weaving. To have the material
produced in this country would prob.
ably be of some advantage to the
mills, and, although the picture pre-
sented here is perhaps too fattering
it has an interest as suggesting a
pleasant possibility. for silks may not
always be the rare fabrics they now
are.-San Francisco Bullitin.

Some time since George E. Strong of
Salem was returning from Lake Co. in
company with Gen.. John F. Miller and
stopped over night in barn at Heills Station
about fifteen miles from Spring gtieid in Lane
county, in the night he seemed to be suffer
ing from some mental arrangement and
just before morning slipted out into the
mountains. immediate serch was made
which has been continued until the present.
This was the 9th inst, and on Wednes-
day he received letter from Mr. Hill
stating that the country had been searched
far and near, but nothing had been seen or
heard of Mr.. Strong 1t is hardly to be
expected, owing to the late inclement
weather and the great length of time he has
been missing, that he will ever be found
alive.

soTime sets all things even," tbs
said, and thereby hangs tale, fresh
in the memory of the citizens of Ben
ton county, and, for ought We know,
many Of the people of Albany and
of linn county have not forgotten
the incident or the circumstances
surrounding it. A few years since,
William b. Carter, then editor of the
Corvallis Gazette, who had fought SO
earnestly and persistently to arouse
the citizens of Benton county, and
impress upon them the fact that in
denting the west coast of their harbor
that could by little trouble and ex.
pense be made a natural outlet for
the transmission of the exports and
imports of the central valley; who
had worked and tojled through the
columns of his paper for long and
weary years to arose public sentiment
to a pitch that would assure the
building OF a railroad from Corvallis
to Yaquina Bay; who, when the
prospect seemed fattering of imme-
diate success, came out in the Gazette
with bold flourish of headlines an
nouncing that "lhe Yaquina railroad
was almost a thing of life, and to
look out for the ringing of the bell.
Let us shift in imagination to Port
land, into the editorial sanctum of
one of the prominent dailies of that
city, and note the peculiar expression
that fits over the features of the chief
editor, ,.as he picks up the Corvallis
Gazette, and his eye catches those
headlines!We will not attempt 20
describe that "expression," bu' S.e
next issue of that daily ironically al
luded to "those bombastic headlines"
which w. B. Carter hal 1aise,i il

to tell the people Of Benton county
and of the central valley that the long
dreary night of monopoly in the car
rying trade was drawing to close,
and the bright and sunny morn Of
competition and low freIghts was
soon to dawn.
William b. Carter is dead! Died
ct his post like the True man .he was,
fighting TO he very last the shylocks
of our plodding and oppressed indus
tries; but "those bombastic head
lines" that he raised in the Gazette,
thank God, still live. Live to perpet-
uate the virtues and exertions of
man whose memory is kindly cher
iehed in the hearts OF the whole cen
tral valley. Live, to confront the
editor who SO s,itingly spoke Of. an
enterprise that was intended to give
release to the industries of q s.ate and
enhance the industrial condition of a
commonwealth by giving,it shorter
and safer outlet to the sea. Live.
though their author is dead, to hail
in triumph the completion of the
work they SO earnestly and faithfully
portrayed. Yes, "time sets all things
even," and we would humbly sug-
gest, not doubling but that our
suggestion will find responsive echo
in every heart in Benton county, that

The affairs relating to the estate of
the late President will shortly be turn
ed over to trustees that will be appoin-
ted. All expenses incurred during the
sickness. of the President will be regar-
ded as debts of the estate, ar 1 the bills
will be called for by She trustees. If
Congress SO desires, schedule of the
bills will be furnished for any action
that they may SEE ut to take. If an
appropriation is made covering the ex
pense incurred, the estate will be re-
leased from the payment. The trus-
tees will proceed on the theory, which
is perfectly correct one, that these ex-
: spenses are private debts, and not an
Indebtedness of the Government
What part Congress may see fit to
g assume is, of course, not known.
j. Stanley Brown says that he has no
idea of what the entire expense of the
sickness of the President will amount to.
So far no bills have been presented ,and
probably they will not be until the
Trustees call for them. He say that
he left Mrs Garfield in good health,
and making preparations to Euperintend
the education of her children. Wash

On Saturday afternoon the extra
session of the Senate, which had been
called by President Arthur 10 take
action on such nominations in the
civil or diplomatic service as he
might deem proper to lay before it,
adjourned sine die. The principal
nominations confirmed by the Sem
ate were those of Judge Folger as
Secretary of the Treasury, in place of
Mr.. Window, who resigned to take
by reelection in Minnesota his for
mer seat in the Senate, the reap.
pointment of Postmaster General
James to obviate any question of the
law calling for his resignation within
thirty days after the close of the
term of the President by whom he
was appointed, and the confirma-
ton of Frank Hatton, of Iowa, as
First Assistant Postmaster-General,
vice Tyner, resigned. The nomina-
ton of ex-senator Hamiln as minis
ter to Spain, previously made by the
late President Garfield, but not acted
upon, was also confirmed. The only
other appointment of note was that
of Chas. w. Seaton to be superinten-
dent of the census, a position made
yocant by the resignation of Super
intendent Walker. 1t will be OBJ
served that only two changes in the
cabinet have been made. The re-
naming chiefs Of departments and
the Attorney-General will continue
to hold Office until the opening of the
December session, when it is prob
able that new deal will take place.
