The Women of the South.

It was the Southern women more than the provost marshals who checked de- sertion and make the offence odious The Confederate who left the front without leave found no welcome outside of his own family. He who come home by authority, and with a wound to at test his bravery in action, was hero until duty compelled his return.
 No man ever saw night so wild that Southern woman would not face it to carry news to Confederate soldiers. Every woman was scout and spy. If the mother could not go the daughter was sent. If there was no daughter a dispatch or message was hurried off by negro or signal was made. They came to accurately estimate the strength of marching columns, to identify one make of gun from another in the batteries, and where scouts and spies could not go the women could. It was the women who saved Mosby again and again. It was woman who told General Jackson the exact strength of the Federal force at Front Royal before he fell upon it in carrying out his valley campaign. It was woman who told Early just how Sheridan's army was distributed at Cedar Creek, and there was scarcely battle on Virginia's soil with which women had not something to do as the bearers of information. Once enlisted in the cause they did not know what despair was. They sent their bedding to the hospitals, their provisions to the army, and their jewelry to buyer of Confederate arms in Europe. When the Confederate Government could not furnish rations the Confederate women did.
 have asked hundreds of Confederate soldiers how they made start after the war, and in nearly every instance the answer began with: ...a.
 "Well, my wife, you know"
 His wife had been the power to brace him up for the new start in life. The home was in ashes, the farm grown up to briers and the country overrun with outlaws, but the wife's words of hope and encouragement set the returned soldier to work. With any other class of women the South would have built Isup by the inch instead of the foot. As they were enthusiasts in war, so also are they heroines in peace. In the real Southern woman's heart there is nc hatred of Northerns. There is not even distrust or suspicion. In her parlo, may hang portraits through which Sheridan's men thrust bayonets, but hel ] pleasantest letters are mailed to, and re ceived from friends in the North. The war as war is buried and forgotten, ol if bitter memories force themselves tt the surface there is no heartburning fo vengesnce.-M.Q QUAD.

A Gambling He'll.

A Newport correspondent says:-New- port, so lovely to see, has it's hell even as Monaco has it's hell. I could show you gateway which leads through 8 private alley to it's door, which gate might never be noticed by you, although you were here summer after summer, and yet no path ever led straighter to destruction. am told that this house is the worst gambling hell in America; that it's interior is of the most costly and beautiful description; that it's SUD- pers and wines are not to be surpassed. Rouge ct noir, roulette and faro tables stand in the most splendid of apart ments, furnished gorgeously in old Flemish style. Thousands of dollars change hands here nightly, and to-day has come to my ears the story of the ruin of one young man. Our English visitors are fond of this amusement, but the passion is one that seems to have taken strong hold of American young men, and old men, as for that. It is said that one man, the whole world knows his name, lost $40,0O0 in one week in this gambling house. This is an unpleasant picture, it is 8 hateful side to show you of our gay Newport life; yet I do not know why the fact should be hidden that Newport has its gambling house, as splendid, as ruinous as that of any resort in the world.

"ONLY 4 SISTER TO HIM"

He lifted his face in the starlight dim, And all that he saw was round, dull sky; And the stars that twinkled looked to him Like the phosphor gleams of the fire-fy, The new moon hung in an awkward shape And was crooked and bent like the horn of a
 ram;
 The sombre naples seemed hung with crape And the garden gate banged to with a slam. The brook oozed over the slimy stones From stagnant pools in the meadow marsh; Or it cro9nedlA1ong with plaintive moans, And the 5scng of the whip-poor-win was
 harsh
 He jabbed his ribs on the clumsy stile, For dark ss pitch was the dusky lane; And his thin lips curved in bitter smile, As he smote the weeds with a spiteful cane. Rough and ugly and long was the way, The skies were dull and the earth was cold; He hated the night and he dreaded the day, And his heart seemed hundred centuries
 old.
 With the dirge of his sighs he timed his tread, As one who pondereth bitter things; But he only whispered, with dropping head, And heart that wondered-"Kicked by

Chinese Merchants.

The Chinese merchants in San Fran cisco, Cal, are taking every year, with greater enterprise, to all the devices of American trade. They compete actively with the Caucasian business man in the manufacture of clothing, underwear, shoes, cigars and other important articles of merchandise, and of late they have taken to employing commercial drum mers, who travel along the whole length of the Pacific coast, and overrun Mexico and Central America with the samples of their Mongolian employers. The drummers are of course Caucasian, and of all nationalities. At one time these Chinese manufacturers couldnot dispose of their wares except by labelling them,
 "White labor;" but now it is not un- likely that their Caucasian competitors may find 1t advantageous to initiate the | lChinese labels. <.

The Apple Crop.

Reports from the West and South say that the apple crop is very nearly com plete failure. A commission merchant who has travelled over the country says that he was in Ohio, both Northern and Southwestern New York, and New Eng land, and also in Kentucky and Indiana. Throughout the sections I have named the apple crop will be almost total failure. A farmer in Niagara county, which is one of the greatest apple-pro- ducing regions in New York State, said to me that he had large orchard, and half bushel measure would hold h;s whole crop. The Baldwin variety which Is grown so largely in New York, and is in such large demand for export, is al- most an entire failure. What few apples we get from Western New York this year will be greenings. Some of the young orchards in the country which I visited will have a fair supply of fruit, but the old trees won't have anything to speak of.
 The cause, he says, is generally attrib- uted to the extreme wet weather and heavy rains which prevailed just at the time of blossoming. The trees blossomed beautifully but the fruit did not set. The Southern States all report very light crops except North Carolina, where a fair yield is assured. In Michigan, q noted apple State, the crop will be very light.

A Priceless Diamond.

MT. Porter Rhodes, the fortunate owner of the priceless diamond that bears his name, is at present in Paris awaiting the result of competition be- tween two millionaires desirous of possessing the jewel. The stone was found in his mine at Kimberley, South Africa, in the beginning of 1880, and made great sensation among the dig gers when the discovery was made known about four months later, MT. Porter Rhodes was obliged to satisfy their curi- osity by exhibiting the diamond. Ac- cordingly he placed it in 8 friend's s office, charged sovereign for admission, and in this way received G1O0 within the first two hours. Altogether he made by the exhibition 95OO, which he gave to the local hospital.
 On his arrival in England he was honored with an invitation to Osborne, in order that Her Majesty might inspect the stone. He was afterward taken to Osborne Cottage and had an interview with the Empress Eugenie. MT. Porter Rhodes considers that his diamond as far surpasses the Kohinoor in purity as it does in weight, the Indian stone weighing 1O64 carats, the Cape diamond about 150 carats. He said to his inter- viewer:
 "I shall have at least fulfilled one mis- sion-I shall have convinced the world that the Cape diamonds are as radiantly pure and blue-white as the Dresden drop and the Braganza. I shall thus upset one popular delusion."

A Dollar Saved.

Mechani artisans and laborers must learn that Ytds not the $9 or the $50 per week that we receive and spend that eountsain sickness or old age, but the $1 that we save. As evidence I will name a few instances in Davenport I could name many of the dollar-saving people. Some years ago MT. Keyser, Swede, a rough carpenter, with family, came to Davenport with $4 on hand. He worked for small capitalist with large credit, who built for himself to rent or sell. MT. Keyser at first received $1. 75 day, which was in time increased. His en- ployer assisted him in purchasing a home; he saved and built several small houses, and within eleven years sold out and purchased 8 large and well-stocked farm in Kansas for $8. 900 cash. During the same period Prussian laborer, John Litze, arrived with his family of five and a few dollars. He went to work for the same capitalist, and is now working on his twenty-eighth year with his first en- ployer, who purchased for him the half block on Ripley and Thirteenth streets, where he has two fine dwellings, and one of Davenports best physicians is his tenant. He has raised his family and is clear of debt, and $1O, ,OOO will not pur- chase John Litzes possessions. The question is, did those workingmen build up the capitalist or did the capitalist build up the workingmen to independ- ence? Or, were tho benefits mutual ? In no other country on the globe could those men have settled and reached their present independent position. .-Daue,,- port (IoaOa) Gazette.

Too Much.

A railroad conductor bet German of Quincy, H., that he could not pick up one hundred eggs laid on the ground a yard apart inside of thirty-fve minutes. The eggs were to be picked up and de- posited in basket, one at time, and the basket was to remain stationary at the spot where the first egg was placed. German thought he had an easy walk over; but the railroad man placed the eggs in 8 straight line along the side of the depot and the basket at one end, so that German had to run up and down the fine with each egg separately. At the end of twenty minutes he had picked up only twenty-five of the eggs, and had to give up the contest. A local mathematician figured up that it would take about six miles of travel to pick up the one hundred eggs.

A Minnesota Tornado.

A correspondent of.the Boston Globe, writing from Minnesota, describes tor nado in that section as follows:
 A cloud, black as the ravens wing, appeared in the vest Suddenly it split, and between the two black trains ex- banded the most fearful, dismal sky I ever saw. The color was green-gray- yellow, and it darkened the sun so it be- came as twilight. The carpenters had gathered together with us on the porch.
 "This must be hailstorm," one of them said; ''now we will pretty soon hear of disasters"
 Suddenly the cleft widened between the two black cloud wings, and the up per one came with terrible speed, fur rying back toward us.
 "Let us walk in," said. sstIt seems as if we, too, shall get taste of it.
 We went in, and our parlor looked quite dark. We had scarcely locked the door before we heard the roaring of the storm coming.
 In moment we were surrounded by white cloud, and the wind and rain lashed the house, which groaned and shivered. It was not rain, it was frlri- ous torrents of water mixed with heavy hail, which poured down from heaven. The storm tried to burst open the door, but five men pressed against it with all their might. The wall seemed to give way, and stood in bow; the building shook as in convulsions. felt tight ening of my heart every time the house seemed to be lifted from the ground and dropped down again.
 Twice we had these terrible shocks; then in moment house, mep, furniture were hurled through theair one hundred feet away I do not remember any thing till found myself on the ground crawl ing among the ruins of my home. The first discovered was my wife, with child in each arm, lying at my side. Men and children were scattered around among lumber and sidings, whether alive or dead nobody could tell.
 A table and staircase came flying through the air; some men met them and pushed them away, so they did not kill my wife and children; bits of wall and roof whirled round us; here it was impossible to remain. We crept and crawled and ran for our lives down to the forest. As we found each other there, we were only six; a friend of ours, farmer, had one of the small girls in his arms, my wife another, and one oi my sons clung to me. But where were the rest of the children?
 had myself seen one of the carpen- ters run with my third little girl-but the eldest and youngest boy? Killed, perhaps, or lying mutilated among the ruins, and it was impossible to look for them. The hurricane would have swept us away as soon as we had moved from the wood. The only thing to do was to press the children to us and give them so much shelter as We could with our broader backs. The rain and hail lashed us, the oak shrubs were blown flat to the ground, and their limbs struck our heads and shoulders like whips.
