What a Woman Can Do.
[From the Philadelphia CALL


She can talk faster than q. man can
hear.
She can say "No" and stick to it for
all time.
She can say "No" in such low, soft
voice that it means Yes"
She can eat her breakfast in bed and
enjoy 1t. This is something that no
man can do.
She can sharpen lead pencil if you
give her plenty of time and plenty OF
pencils.
She can see in great, big, selfish
hulk, qualities which he does not and
never did possess.
She can dance all night in pair Of
shoes two sizes two small for her and
enjoy every minute of the time.
She can pass a display window of dry
goods store without stOpping-if she is
running to catch a train.
She can appreciate kiss from her
husband seventy-fve years after the
marriage ceremony has taken place.
She can walk half the night with a
colicky baby in her arms without once
expressing desire to murder the in
FAINT
She can suffer abuse and neglect for
years, which one touch of kindness or
consideration will drive from her rec
election.
She can go to church and afterwards
tell you what every woman in the con-
gregation had on, and in some rare in
stances can give faint idea of what the
text was.
She can look her husband square in
the eye when he tells her some cock-and-
bull story about being detained at
the Office" without betraying in the
! least that she knows him to be a col
! ossal liar
She can rumple up $4,000 worth of
dress goods and buy a spool of thread,
with an order to have 1t delivered four
miles away, in style that Will transfx
| the proprietor Of the establishment with
| admiration.
She can go into commissions at the
sight of mouse, and five minutes later
| she can listen to her husbands story OF
his financial ruin with loving smile on
| her face and with a courage in heart
that comes not within the knowledge Of
men.
She can-but what's the use!
woman can do anything or everything
and do it well. She can do more In {
minute than man can do In an hour
and do it better. She can make the al
legged lords of creation bow down to he
own sweet will, and they will never
know it. Yes, woman can do every
thing, with but one exception: she can
not climb tree.

partly destroyed by sudden storms. AT
Springfield, Mo-, a hundred houses
were destroyed, many more were dam
aged and the loss of life was great
enough to fill the town with mourners.

A GREAT INDUSTRIAL EXPOSITION

The new prospectus of the exhibition
to be held IN New Orleans next year,
and the preparations that are under way,
show commendable determination on
the part of the managers to make the
enterprise what its name imports, a
"world's industrial exposition" It is
to be opened in December, 1884, and
continued until May, 1885. The plan is
comprehensive both as to exhibits and
exhibitors, embracing all agricultural,
mineral and industrial products, and in
viting competition from all parts of the
world. The exposition buildings are to
cover an area greater than that used in
Philadelphia in 1876. The enterprise
has received the official stamp of the
national government, and already num-
Der of southern states have taken favor
able action with reference to 1t. The
people of the south are beginning tt
show lively interest in it, and alto.
gether it promises to be the greatest ex
position held in this country since the
Centennial. Let the north unite with
the south in making this a national en-
terprise and a national success, and

A colored man named Harvey Long
was arrested in New York on the night
of September 9Th, on complaint of Mary
Odell, who charged that, while she was
stepping on Third Avenue car, Long
robbed her of her gold watch valued at
500. The prisoner was indicted and
called for trial before Recorder Smyth,
in the court Of general sessions. Mrs.
OCell identified the watch found on the
prisoner at the time of his arrest as her
property. Long, in bis defense, swore
positively that the timepiece was his
own, and that the woman was mistaken.
Where's the key ?" asked the court.
The prisoner fumbled in his pockets
for some minutes, and then replied, "
guess it's home"
"What kind of a key was it," asked
the recorder.
"a common one, answered Long.
"You are sure you wound the watch
up with key often?" asked the court.
Eyes, sir; every day." quickly re-
sponded the negro.
A common watch key was then pro-
cured from one of the persons in court
by the recorder, who handed it to Long
with the watch, and requested him to
wind up the watch.
The prisoner opened the back case of
the watch, but became very nervous
when he discovered that there was no
keyhole there. The watch was stem
winder. Long was sentenced to state
prison for five years and six months.
