In the Atlanta Constitution "Bill

much anxiety to marry. They are too

and put on Jerusalem airs and say,
'sYoung man you don't know who you

good, nice, healthy girl who can make
her own dress and set up good supper,
and is not ashamed to wait on the table
while they are eating, is just worth
about q $1,000 q pound. But that is
nothing compared with what they will be
worth. Why, Mrs. Arphas cut and made
at least 200 garments of one kind and
another. She has sewed LOG, 900 stitches,
patched and darned and washed faces

She has tied up 100 sore toes and cut

Women's Wages.

4 writer in the Woman's Journal
sends forth the following encouraging
words: / oftentimes think what noble
work for humanity our army OF work
ipo.oirls is doing. The next generation
of working-women will bless them Tor
their patient pioneer work. Only within
the last half century have women. pushed
themselves into the various yOcatIOns
which had before monopolizcd by our
brothers, who having both been the capital
and experience gave to their sisters only
the material places, with hard work and
little pay. With the meek submission
characteristic of the women of 90 years
of ace. they accepted the lowly position,
and worked long aud hard and well,
only to find that the miserable pittance
paid them would barely support life.
But the day is fast approaching Wen
sex will no longer determine wages
Woman Is pushing kerself forward in
every avenue of business life. She has
risen from the poor shop girl into the
proprietor Of dry goods and millinery
stores. Instead of being only the copy
ist of tiresome law papers. She has
risen to the dignity and commands the
fees of the first-class lawyer. instead
of the ridiculed and scorned medical
student, she practices among our best
families, and instructs by her hooks
and papers even the superior sex in her
profession. From the humble, iil-pald
school teacher of a half-century since
we see her rising to the important posi-
ton of county and city superintendent
and she is compelling, by her patient
labor so faithfully performed, larger
eompensation. And in every other de
partment where women are laboring, by
their faithful devotion to their employ
ers' interests, by their work, which ever
EMPLOYERS themselves acknowledg'

Henry Clay on Signs.

l will relate story Of Henry Clay,
who once offered in the Senate resoiu-
ton in which he was greatly interested,
and which was amended out of all like
ness to itself before its passage, nothing
of the original resolutions being. lett;
Mr.. Clay rose much disgusted, and said
i reminded him of the misfortune of his
old boot-maker at Ashland, Job Jenkins.
II believe this is but variant Of 2 story
told by Benjamin Franklin, but at all
events this is what Mr.. Clay said):
Jenkins was an old resident Of the
place and we'll known for honesty OF
dealing. He was induced one day, BY
an enterprising painter. to put an elabI l'7
crate sign over his shop door-fhus
"Job jenkins sells boots and shoes,
cheap for cash" 1t looked and read
we'll from across the street, but an old
friend ran to him in confidential
and manner said: "My dear Job, it looks
very foolish Of you to give infofn1tion
that we all we'll know. Everybody
knows that you sell only for cash, It
looks insulting to place it upon your
sign. Take it off at once or it will ruin
yonr business" Job sorrowfulfy took
It off. Another good and wise man
called to express his admiration of the
sign: ''Only, my dear job, you in
suit the intelligence of the whole town
by placing upon that sign Just VIVA, wnat
everybody knows. They all know with
out being told, that job Jenkins sells
boots and shoes. Have it taken of at
once if you wish to retain pour popu-
larity." The Objectionable words were
at once stricken out. The sign then read
sob Jenkins All his nelghhors
hooted and laughed at him for his vanity
in putting up his name in gilt letters
over door so we'll known as heshop
of Job Jenkins. We all know you
dear Job, and love you. so please take
down that proud-looking sign Job
did do so, and. relying upon the good
uuaIity of his work, hie bs'-s"es~ pres

Wealth & cOlored People.

The Washington Correspondent OF
the Boston Traveller furnishes the fol-
lowing interesting information regard
ing the wealthy colored men Of the
country:
The richest man of color in America
IL probably Aristidei Marie, of New Or
leans. He was large slaEe-owner be-
fore the war, and his income from the
rents Of his property in New Orleans IS
not less than $50, 900 aSyear. Besides
this he has large personal estate, con-
sisting Of frst-class securities. Mr..
Marie is man of fine accomplishments; /;
graduate of one of the best institu-
tions Of France, and lives abroad about
half of each year. B. F. Joubort, of
Louisiana, is another colored gentleman
of handsome fortune, also a former
slave-owner, though he, as well as Mr.
Marie, have always been free. He is 30
nearly white that one would scarcely
take him to be colored, while Mr.. Marie
is q very decided brown. The Dumas s
pere ct ils'of New Orleans are very rich.
Governor Pinchbeek is also very well
of, with perhaps $780, 900. There are
half dozen others who are worth from
500, 1000 to 100000 each. In New
| York, | know of at least a dozen coiored
men who have from 100000 to $780,.
900 each. There are two who are ply
sicians whose professional incomes are
$25,000 q year. Mr.. Roselle, barber
| in Williamsburg, n. Y, recently died,
leaving nearly $500, 900. Henry Thomas,
for years head waiter at the Grand
Union hotel at Saratoga and the Metro
politan hotel in New York is worth
$50. 900. Mr.. Macdonald, of New York
! is worth $500, 900, and Mrs. GlosteT, OF
BROOKLYN, is the wealthiest of them all
her fortune beingl estimated at 81 900,
900. John Tenycke is worth 100000
| The wealthiest colored planter in Ameri'
ca died year or two ago. His name
was Ben Montgomery. He began life
as the body servant of Gen. Joe Davis
! a brother of Jefferson Davis. Ben Mont
eomery owned "the Hurricanes" estate
| formerly the property of Joe and Jetfer
son Davis, in Claiborne county, Miss. In
| 1868 be bought it OF these gentlemen,
giving them $500, 900 for it, without the
| slaves of course. There are three great
cotton plantations in this estate-Pal'
myrs, Brierfelds, and another, the name
of which I cannot now recall. His croI
used to be 1,S00 bales Of cotton year
beside corn and other products. Ben
Montgomery's credit was as high as that
of any planter in Mississippi, and he
had the goodwill and respect of all his
l neighbors. Ex-senator Bruce, at pres
a.aa 4ha .osisto- of the tsSasssTst Is aisc
a very successful planter in Mississippi
and owns two very large and valuable
plantations in Coahoma and Bolivar
counties, Miss. He is worth at least
5000, 900, and does not owe cent.

Railroads Liable for Accidents to
Employees.
n. o. s.ates.l

N. o. States.
The Supreme Court of Georgia has
decided that railroads are liable for acci-
dents to their employees, even where they
have signed what is known as the dead
warrants" The suit that evoked this
decision was that Of Mrs. Cook, who
sued q railroad for damages for the loss
Of her husband, and was awarded aver.
dict Of $4,000. A new trial was secured
and the verdict was made $4,000. The
Judge non-suited the case, and it was
taken TO the Supreme Court. The court
reversed the ruling below, holding that
the question of damages or negligence
was one for jury, and that their fnd-
inc should not be disturbed; that an
employe of a railroad might, by con-
tract, waive his right to sue for injuries
not arising from criminal negligence on
the part Of the company or its en-
ployes, but any negligence of omission
or Commission on the part Of other en-
pIoyes Of the road in connection with
their business, from which serious in
iuries resulted, constituted criminal
negligence, and the waiving Of the right
TO sue for injuries resulting therefrom
was contrary to public policy, and void.
