About Noted People.

Gen. Sherman's wife was we'll
enough to act as hostess on New
Ycars-day for the first timc in four
years. While General Sherman was
walking in the east room Of the
White House on Monday, with a
young lady on his arm, the Marine
band started waltz. The generals
eyes glistened and his elbows twitch-
ed, indicating a sudden inspiration
to whirl his compaoion about the
room. Noticing this, she said:
"Why. General, I do believe you
want to dance" II do" he respon-
ded, ''and am half inclined to give
you hirt or two in tho face Of SO.

According to the testimony of a
Russian gentleman now visiting this
country, educated men and women
y Russia can always find it easy to
gain livelihood. Trade is looked
sppon a. altogether distinct from ed
ncation. An educated man is oblig-
ed 70 be teacher, clerk, or govern
inent officer, and il he cannot be one
of these he is disappointed and his
mind is ripe to receive Nihilistic
Ideas, ii he has not character enough
70 fight the battle of life. The posi-
Ition Of woman is still worse. A girl
whose parents are able to give her .
jIp aa,oatisa I IN many coaes LEFT
without any means of support, un-
less she makes good marriage. It
is within short time that women
have been admitted as clerks of rail
way and telegraph companies. But
in consequence Of the common pref
udice girl Of respectable parentage-
who is without means, is thrown on
the charity Of relations, who would
in no case acknowledge a girl who
worked for living, and would rath-
er see her dependent on aims. The
only means of livelihood considered
by socicty as honest and respectable
for girl, is teaching in private fam
lilies. The teachers in schools are
mostly male. In any Russian news
paper there are numberless adver-
tisements for situations wanted by
well-educated young ladies', teaching
four languages and music, for their
board simply. The only trades ex-
isting for women are millinery and
dressmaking.

The State Of Dakota.


OF. rAui F10e0sr fto0o.
It is really 20 difficult 70 fhams'
any cogent reasons why Dakota
should not be divided. that any one
who applies himself 70 that sAsBf
with sven moderate success deserves
credit for unusual ability. The ar
gument extant, in favor Of division.
is go apparent that it cannot be we'll
rebutted. So many mistakes are
made, however, on one sids Or the
other, that may be we'll enough to
give the figures correctly. The total
area Of Dakota, landand water accorI
ding to the official report of the iast
ccnsur, i 149, 100 squasssAilss. sT,,S
only two states in the sanion which
exceed this, Texas and Calilornl
ia, contain 265,7sO, and l5sS6O
square miles respectively. Itis en-
tirely futile to drag Arizona, Mon.
tana and New Mexico into che dis
cussion because they are not states;
and IT they were, 60 large . part OF
their areas ir incapable Of support
ing a numerous population as to
make the comparison void. II
wonld be usurping the Office Of the
teacher of history in tho public
schools to explain how Texas and
California came 70 be admitted en-
tire. The tendency to create great
empire states needs to be checked.
There is inconsistency in comparing
Dakota with Ohio, for instance. be-
cause there is no reason why il may
not one day support Is dense ! pop
ulation. This would give it at that
date, if admitted entire, something
over II 600, GEO ;nhabitants num-
Der presenting some trifing diHicul
ties to government by the ordinary
legislative methods. There does not
seem to be any especial political
gain to either party to ensue from
the division of the territory. When
it comes to admitting the southern
half as a state, it is quite another
matter and the question has two
sides to it. But ~ an admitted
state has never yet consented 10 dis
menberment, it is evidently a choice
between dividing Dakota now, or
preparing the way for those evils
which have been proved TO arise 10
local and in national politics from
the creation of states disproportion-
ate!yy large. The logic Of observa-
tion and the logic of history en-
phatically say, divide. What the
people Of Dakota themselves would
prefer, it is not probably within the
power Of any one person to decide.
But it is noticeable that the advo-
Gates of division have been very ac-
tive, very open in their measures,
and in the absence of opposition,
must be presumed 10 speak the SEN
tinent of the territory. IF the peo-
pie, as has been occasionally, but
only individually asserted, oppose
division and believe that it viii in
crease taxation, check immigration,
and play havoc generally, why do
they not say 60? Americans are not
wont TO keep SO patiently silent.
when a few ambitious men propose
to infringe on their rights. The
prospect is very much in fovor Of
the div;sinn o. Dakota; and as far
as an outsider can Judge, this ap-
pears to be in general accordance
with wise policy and with the wish
es Of tic majority.

Reporter. r.--"Were your various

Capt. Boyton.-' That depends
upon what you may call dangerous
During my trip down the river Ia.

hundred and two waterfalls, the
highest being about eighty-fiye feet
and innumerable rapids. Crossing
the Straits of Messina, l had three
ribs broken in a fight with sharks
and coming down the Somane, a
river in France, l received a charge
of shot from an excited and startled
huntsman. Although oil this wa.
not very pleasant, and might be
termed dangerous, fear nothing
more on my trip than intense cold
for, as long as my limbs are free and
easy, and not cramped or benumb
ed, am oil right. Oflate I carry .
stock Of st. Jacobs Oil in my little
boat, ,-(the Captain calls it BABY
Mine," and has stored therein sigma
rockets, thermometer, compass, pro
visions, etc. )-and I have had bu
little trouble. Before starting oul

Marriage in Connecticut.
Springfield Republican.

The wedding itself, calculated on
the basis Of $40 to the minister, is
$332.75, and then there is $500 for q
journey and $3.50 for furniture after
the return. Family expenses for
the ante-addition pcriod-are esti-
mated 81 $3.50 q year, and altogether
it is concluded that no young man
can venture without $1,000 in pock-
ct and an income Of $500 q year.
1t is added however, that a plain
marriage ceremony can be had Of
the proper officials for 42.75.

Mrs. Belva Lockwood, the Wash

she was a married woman she was
not liable. Justice Macarthur, be-
fore whom the case was brought,
was terribly enwrathed at this. and
told Mr.. Lockwood that her plea
was fraudulent one as it regarded
her standing as q lawyer, and that
unless she withdrew it he should
not allow her to practice as if she

made, cost being no consideration.
They were duly sent, when the Or
der was completed, to New York,
and cost without duty $500 thous-
and, or 30 cents apiece. They were
strong. however, as not to be slnoka-
able even by the general, and he had
to give most of them away to any Of
his friends who would accept them.
