selling newspapers. They made ten
cents apiece the first morning they went
to work, and for two winters thereafter
they went barefooted, through the snow
and sleet in the freezing dawn, ON their
morning rounds. From the very first
they saved a certain per centage of their
earnings, which they wisely invested in
Atlanta real estate. The oldest of them
is now eighteen years of age, and the
youngest twelve. They have supported
an invalid father and their mother all
the time, and now have property worth
considerably over 5000, houses from
which the rent is $40 per month, and
5000 stock in a building and loan asso-
citation. They have educated themselves
the meanwhile, remaining from school
| this year in order they might work the
| harder and build a home for their
parents that is to have a front parlor and
bay window in it. These little fellows
have been carriers, newsboys, errand
boys and apprentices about the Consti-
tuition Office, and one of them is now as
sistant mailing clerk. Their net savings

better, and by the time the oldest OF
the brothers is of age they ought to have
a comfortable little fortune.

boys can do. The whole secret is stead
iness, sobriety, industry, and economy.
There are few lessons more important

TAE Cnlnmhn. Index sny.:

The Georgia Legislature seems deter
mined on pursuing an extreme policy il
reference To rail roads. II proposes, in
its legislation 10 go entirely too far, and
unless the Governor interposes with hi,
veto, harm may come not only 20 the
rail road interests but TO the people o!
the state. A bill just passed the lowci
house, gives each county through which
a road passes the power TO tax.
We suppose the Georgia bill authorizes
the tax on Railroad property by the
counties, the same as other property is
taxed. However, not understanding the
measure we are not prepared to discuss
It. What we are moved 20 say is that
Georgia Is the most progressive state in
the South. She was the first to try
Railroad Supervision, and it works well
To this fact, Gen. Gordon, a distinguish
cd Railroadcr, bore ample testimony
when visiting this city on Railroad bust
ness In the winter of 1882.

Love, at. First signt.

\. Y. Special to the Chicago Tribune
A romantic story is told Of the cir
cumstanees attending the marriage,a few
days ago of b. G. Tunison. a. young
lawyer Of jersey CltT, son OF the Rev.
u. Tunison, Of the Newark Methodist
Episcopal Conference. Miss Belle Bar
ton, a young lady, whose parents reside
at York, Pa. came two or three weeks
ago to visit friends residing on Sipp
avenue, Jersey City Heights, and at a
festival Mr.. Tunison met her. 1t was a
case of love at first sight, and by the
end of the week Tunison had made her
an offer of marriage. She said her pa
rents had picked out resident of York
to whom they proposed to wed her on
the following day, which was last We'd
nesday. He was many years her senior,
and she did not like the match herself,
but then he was wealthy, and that was
something in his favor. She expected
her aunt from New York that very day
to take her home and prepare her for
the wedding. But for that she would
have readily accepted the young lawyers 5
proposition. Tunison volunteered to at
once take her to New York, marry her,
and to be ready by the time her aunt
arrived TO introduce her rs Mrs. Tunison
Miss Barton consented, but before they
got away the aunt had arrived to take
the niece away on the train which was
to leave the Pennsylvania railroad sta
ton at o'clock that afternoon. Tuni-
son advised the girl to go to the station
with her aunt and leave the rest to him.
Then he went to the offiee~of Counsellor
George Barron, his friend, and made
known to him the position of affairs.
Barron started for the station with the
anxious lover. The aunt and her niece
were Just On the point of entering the
trim. Barron told his friend that the
aunt would leave the car in a few min
utes, and that the girl would have the
freedom she sought
In less than three minutes 4 District
messenger boy was running through the
ear with sealed enyelop, anxiously in
quiring for Mrs. Sayre. That's my
name? exclaimed the aunt Message,
ma'am!" said the boy. Mrs. Sayre
opened it and read On the slip of paper
enclosed that important information
awaited her at the Office of DIR. Barron,
on Montgomery street. She threw her
bundles into her nieces lap, promising
to return in minute or two, bounded
off the car and up Montgomery street to
the lawyers office. Tunison entered
the car and Miss Barton went with him
to the ferryboat. Crossing to New York
they were married by the Rev. Mr. Simp-
son of Twenty-fifth street, and went
from there to Manhattan Beach, whence
kilograms were sent to their friends
Miss Barton's brother, on visiting the
couple, learned that his unexpected
brother-in-law was an old friend. The
aunt got hack to the trairs;n time II -
it going out. She telegraphed forward
to the conductor to tell her niece to wait
her arrival at Philadelphia, but she
probably found out that Mrs Tunison
did not receive her message.

GEORGIA RAILWAY LEGISLATION.
T. J. scorT, Secretary.

GEORGIA RAILWAY LEGIsLATIOS-
An Atlanta special says: The lower
house of the Georgia Legislature to-day
passed, by l0J to Al, the bill taxing rail-
roads in the state in each county through
which they pass. There was long and
excited debate over the bill. il i the
latest development Of the spirit which
four years ago produced a railroad COM
mission with arbitrary powers. Imme-
diately the commission cut passenger
fares from five 70 three cents per mile,
and established low local freights under
the strictest conditions. Recently It has
issued orders regulating the manner in
which stations shall be kept and how
freight shall be projected. The bill pass
ed to-day will leave it in the power Of
each county to assess the value Of the
railroad property within its limits, and
it. opponents say that it Is uneonstitu-
tIonaI because il violates the provision
that taxation shall be uniform on che
same class Of subjects. and it Is possible
that every county will assess railroads
differently.
The argument generally used for the
bill was that railroads we're rich eorPo-
rations. owned largely outside Of the

Occupations of W omen.

Ferty-three or forty-four years age
Miss Harriet Martineau is reported c
have said that in Massachusetts,, one 81
the most highly civilized and advanced
communities in the world, there were
but seven industries open to women who
wanted to work. They might keep
boarders, or set type, or teach needle
work, or tend looms inseotton mills. or
fold and stitch in book-binderies. This
statement was rather too definite, be-
cause there were other forms of labor
open to them, especially those of the
needle. But there is no doubt that the
opportunities of self-support for women
by honest industry in some other way
than that of domestic service were very
few and very limited. The tendency Of
society under the exclusive control of
men has been to restrict unmarried wo-
men to the lowest kinds of drudgery or
the highest forms of luxurious idleness.
There has been extreme impatience of
all efforts for the emancipation of wo-
men," But the most resolutely con-
temptuous sneerer at strong-minded wO-
men, and the most doughty foe of the
cry of woman's rights, as if it were the
slogan of the destruction of the essen
tial feminine charm-a kind of war upon
nature itself, must admit that, whether
the discussion be regarded as cause OF
mere unhandsome phenomenon OF
progress due to other causes, it is during
this discussion that the opportunities Of
women have greatly enlarged, and the
general view of the relation of women
! 10 sOclety has greatly Changed.
In the State of Massachusetts,, which
was the scene of Miss Martineau's repu.
ted observation, it is now announced
that there are 2S4 occupations open to
women, instead of seven, and that PSI,
15S women are earning their own living
in these occupations, receiving from $50
to $4,000 each every year. This compu-
tation does not include amateurs, or
mothers and daughters in the household,
and of course excludes domestic service.
Such figures show the most insidious
approaches of the sex toward that terri
Bile equality which is the bugbear of
some sensitive souls, who wiring their
hands with apprehension lest the resist

There has always been a dim con-
sciousness in man that his relations to
the divine, that Is 10 the ideal side Of
life, we've most fitly represented by the
purity and single-heartedness Of woman,
and that she is in a manner q mediator

reversing the Puritan and, 50 TO speak,
political idea expressed in Millions line.

Of this dina consciousness the Phythia
at Deiphia and the Xestal Virgins at
Rome were testimony But woman as
are preventative Of the ideal can hardly be
said to have been consciously recognized
until Christianity had consecrated the
alteration Of the Virgin Mother. Since
then, although the influence Of women
as wives and mothers must always be
immeasurably the most important and
precious, it IS impossible to deny that
their influence HAS existed in other forms
which have affected the history Of man
