American Respect for Women

In Philadelphia, during the Centen-
nial exposition of 1876, a lady entered
a street-car which happened 10 befilled
with tue attaches, clerks and owners
Of the French department of the ex.
hibition. Several of these men lighted
cigars and pufied them in her face, and
their conduct became 80 rude that she
was forced to leave the car. Some of
the principal French exhibitors and q
commissioner were present, but made
no attempt to interfere. Happening
to meet one of them afterwards, she
expressed her amazement at the brutal
conduct of the whole party. "But,
madame" he exclaimed, they did not
understand that you we're lady; you
had no escort u ~ was 0 woman, and

A Pair Of Shoes in Twenty Minutes.

Eight hours consumed in making a
pair of boots or shoes when working
for a record would be considered terri
bly, slow time in Lynn. Twenty
minutes il the best time on record. In
1850 Charles Stewart Parncll visited
Lynn, and while there he w's shown
about the city by Mayor Sandcr.on
and three or four other gentlemen.
The party visited the shoe manutac-
tory of c. :. Swoetscr Il Co., and the
proprictors decided to show Mr. Par
nell how quick pair Of boots could
be made. 1t Wa decided TO make q
pair OF womcns grain polish and the
work commenced, Mr. Parucll closely
watching every movement. lie saw
the stock for the u1pcrs and the top
Innings cut out, the cyclctiug done and
the passing Of tho uppers from one
siitChcr 10 another; he saw the sole
leather died ont for the bottoms, aud
the stock fitted. Up 10 this time the
uppers and bottoms had been kept
separate. The next hc saw wa the
two parts come together, the uppcr
lasted 10 the bot oms, then the uppcr
were scwcl to tho ,olcs by Mckay
stitchcr, aud in rapid succession fol-.
lowed the work of beating out, trim
ming and setting the edge, mailing on
the heels, shaving and finishing the
same, butiing the bottoms and chan
ncliug. Mr. Parnell then took tho
boots, which had been manufactured
in Just twenty minutes before his own
eyes, and carried them with him to
England. These boots, in process Of
manufacture, passed through no los
than thirty hands, and The work was
perfect Boston Gbb,.

therefore entitled to every mans pro.
tection," was her indignant reply. lie
shrugged his shoulders and was silent.
Now, mark the difference. At the
same exposition, near the exposition
building, an immense temporary hotel
was erected. Over 5000 teachers,
women from all parts Of the Union,
went to this hotel unprotected, visited
the exposition alone, and returned
home, as secure from insult as though
they were princcsscs. The first princi,
pie instillcd into every American is
respect for women. There was not Il
man who met these young girls who,
seeing that they were modest and we'll
behaved, would not have intcricrcd to
defend them from insult. These two
instances aptly illustrate n radical
difference between two nations.

THE LIGHTHOUSE DISTRICT.
Why the Engineers Office Has Been
Removed from Portland.
special to yesterdays Boston Herald from

A special to yesterdays Boston Herald from
Washington says:
"The published statement that the officer in
charge OF the lighthouses on the coast of Maine
has been removed from Portland to Boston,
which has created much comment, seems to be
based upon a misconcepton OF the facts. They
are semi-officially stated to be as follows Col
Blunt, the United States engineer officer who
was in charge of the erection and repair of all
the lighthouses on the coast of Maine, New
Hampshire and Massachusetts, as well as
much harbor ana fertilization work, and whose
office was in Portland. was relieved of the
lighthouse work, which was assigned to
much younger and more active officer, Maj.
Raymond, whose headquarters are in Boston,
and who is also charged with much harbor
and fortification work about Boston. His
office is much nearer to the geographical centre
of his district OF Boston than it would be at
Portland. But that is not matter of much
consequence any way at present as Congress
has provided no funds and no building. There
is little repairing to do, and even II there were
more, there could be but little cause OF COM
plant IN Maine, as Portland has had the en-
gineer there from the beginning to now, and
Boston, though fully as much entitled to him.
has been without him up to this time, and
that too, without complaint. While the head
quarters of the officer charged with the repair
of lighthouses of the three States is for the
present fixed at Boston, the inspector who is
CuaIBeu Win tho maintehduce anu supplies OF
the lighthouses, with the transfer, promotion,
discipline and payment of the keepers, with
the quarterly inspection of the light stations
and with the care of, aud responsibility for,
the buoyage of the Maine coast, and who, In
fact, is responsible for the management Of the
multifarious details of the lighthouses estab-
lished there, continues to reside in Portland,
as he has since the lighthouse board was organ
lied in 1852, and as he will, in all probability,
as long as the board continues to have charge
of the lighting and buoyage of the coast Of
the United States"

PHINNEY & JACKSON.
Appointment OF Three Trustees.

The adjourned meeting of the creditors of
Phinney & jackson was held at the compa ny's
office at p. NJ. yesterday. There were pre-
sent Hon. w. W. Thomas of the Canal Bank,
Mr.. H. N. Jose of the Cumberland Bank, Mr..
W. E. Gould with Hon. @. r. Libby for the
First National Bank, Messrs. J. S. Winslow
and Ell. P. Dewey, Of J. S. Winslow & Co.,
John D. Lord of Lord & Hight, Baltimore, and
Mr.. Geo. L. Kimball of Nutter, Kimball &
Co. Mr. Edmund Phinney was present with
his counsel, Mr.. A. A. Strout.
When the chairman, Mr.. Thomas, had called
the meeting to order Mr. w. e. Gould made
motion that all who were not creditors be in
vited to withdraw. AS the representative of
the PRESS was the only one present not
creditor it was evident that he was invited to
leave. Both Mr.. Gould and Mr.. Thomas very
courteously stated that the motion was made
simply because in their opinion the matters
for discussion were not of interest to the public
but simpy to the creditors. The question was
put and carried in the affirmative.
After the departure of the PRESS representa-
tive Mr.. Strout presented deed OF trust for
the consideration of the creditors. This deed
in several important particulars before 1t was
accepted. As agreed upon, the deed puts sll
the assets of the firm in the hands of three
trustees, Messrs. Joseph P. Thompson and
Mark p. Emery for the creditors and H. @.
Wheeler for Mr.. Phinney, for sixty days,
pending an effort to obtain settlement with
the creditors, and, il at the end OF the sixty
days a settlement is not effected Mr. Phinney
is to apply to the Insolvency Court to have an
assignee appointed on behalf of himself and
his firm, to whom the trustees will convey the
assets. In case of the death of Mr.. Phinney,
or undue delay in the appointment OF an as
signee then the trustees will settle up the
estate and distribute it to the creditors.
Mr.. Phinney and Mr.. Strout both expressed
perfect willingness that reporters should be
present at the meeting.
