The Women of Tunis.

Women are kept much stricter at
Tunis, says Baron Won Wartegg, the
husband of Minnie Hauk, in book on
the East, than in Egypt or Turkey
Moorish ladies of high standing never
show themselves in the streets; and
there are thousands of them whose only
walk during their whole lives has been
from the house of their parents to that
of their husband. Poor women have
to go ont to make their purchases, and
also to go to public baths, as they
have none in their own houses; but
they are yelled to such a degree, and
enveloped in so many shawls, that you
can scarcely see the tips of their
fingers. The women of the middle
classes also wear dark, heavy silk
handkerchief, and you only see their
feet clothed in little slippers, either en-
broidered with gold or of patent leather,
and perhaps q little bit of the calf,
namented with silver or gold clasps,
which clink at every step like spurs.
Woe be to the European who, in the
presence of men, were to stare at u
Moorish woman or accost her! The
MooIs are, both in respect to their re-
ligion and their women, the greatest
fanatics; and to pursue woman, or to
enter mosque, may cost ones life to
this day.
The "beyess' sits on sofa, with
crossed legs, and salutes us ceremoni-
ously as we enter. She il "a fat old
woman with an insignificant face, by
the side of which her short hair falls
over the ears. Neck, arms, legs and
fingers are literally covered with costly
jewelry, bracelets and rings. She
wears sort of blouse of red silk, and
white linen pantaloons, which get
tighter near the feet and end in silk
socks. All doors and recesses are oc-
cupied 10y women of the harem, who
eve curiously the toilets and manners
of the European ladies. At last per-
mission is asked to see the bedroom.
The "beyess" rises, crosses her hands
on her back, and walks carelessly to-
ward a room at the back part of the
drawing-room. The bedroom which
we enter is furnished quite in the
European style "a four-poster of
palisander wood, chest of drawers
with large looking glass, and easy
chairs. On the wall hangs life-sized
portrait of the Bey, her consort, and
we hasten TO congratulate her on his
beauty. sc h yes" she says, "he is
handsome. He comes to see me every
evening"" We are silent, for we know
that Mohammed es Sadok for years
past has visited the palace every after
noon only for Appearances sake, with
out ever seeing her.

back room dying, and you saw her take
those thin hands, with which she had
toiled for you so long, and put them to-
gether in dying prayer that commend
eel you to the God whom she had taught
you to trust-oh, she was the Queen |!
The chariots of God went down to fetch
her; and as she went in all heaven rose
up. You cannot think of her now with
out a rush of tenderness that stirs the
deep foundation of your soul, and you
feel as much child again ~ when you
cried on her lap; and if you could bring
her back again to speak just once more
your name as tenderly as she used to
speak it, you would be willing to throw
yourself on the ground and kiss the sod
that covers her, crying, Mother
mother!' All, she was the Queen! To
make one such woman as / have de-
scribed, how many thousands would you
want of those people who go'in the
round of fashion and dissipation, dis
tressing their body until in their mon
strosities they seem to Guido the drom-
edary and hippopotamus, going as far
toward disgraceful apparel as they dare
go, so as not to be arrested by the po-
lice, their behavior sorrow to the good
and caricature to the vicious, and an
insult to that God who made them
women and not gorgons and tramping
on down through frivolous, dissipated
life to temporal and eternal damaation.

designer is Mr.. Snowden, Director of
the Philadelphia Mint. Thinking that
the word cents was not essential he
omitted it, and the only mark intended
to indicate the denomination of the coin
is V on one side Of it, which might
stand for dollars az well as cents. The
diverse side of il is fac-simile of a So

Four years ago, John &. Parker, a
hummer and rough of st. Louis, capti-
waited one of the most beautiful girls
among the respectable families of the
town. In August, 1881, he killed a
man in drunken brawl, and for eight
cen months his lovely wife has worked
and earned money with which to sup
ply her felon husband with delicacies,
which she carried to him daily. Not
long ago the murderer was brought In
TO the Police Court for trial, and his
faithful Nelly was at his side. On Sun
day she had visited him as usual liz the
Jail, but the half hour generally given
to her was extended to two hours. All
that time Parker was pleading with his
wife, but she protested with tears and
sobs. At last she apparently yielded
to his request, dried her tears, went to
her home and told her sister that she
had to die. At intervals during the af-
ternoon she had attacks of weeping,
during which she kissed her baby 90
months of age, wonderde what would
become Of it when she was gone, and
estimated its chances of support from
the knights of Honor to which Parker
belonged. When she went to the court
Monday she took the babe, and when
Parker's counsel called him and his
wife into the jury room to consult rela-
tive to witnesses, she gave the babe to
her sister, kissed it fondly and said she
should never see it again. In the jury
room, the lawyer took seat one side
of the table, Parker and his wife, side
by side, opposite In moment, Par
ker placed pistol to his wife's head,
fired, and she died in an instant. Then,
putting the pistol to his own worthless
head. he shot himself and died in few
minutes. 1t was subsequently discoy-
cred that his pleading on Sunday was
to gain her consent to die with him
and the papers tell how she left the
courtroom, deliberately walked into
the place where death was waiting, her
small, slight figure not betraying, by
even the slightest tremor, dread of
this greatest of all tests of courage, and,
taking seat by her husbands side,
calmly received the death she had ac-
cepted. OF all that history has to re-
cord in honor of womans love and de-
votion and courage and sacrifice, she
relates no instances of love and devO-
ton and courage and sacrifice greater
than that exhibited by the brave and
beautiful wife of the felon of ST. Louis

Woman's Indifference to Voting.

No political concession has ever
fallen so unresponsively upon those for
whom it was intended as the school
suffrage upon the women of Massachu-
sets. To be sure. there was little to
excite in so small boon as the privilege
of voting for school committeeman.
But principle was on trial, and had
women really the capacity to care for a
political principle, pure and simple,
they would have risen at this opportu-
nifty for demonstration. We must
sadly conclude that the indifference of
the Legislators is but an echo of the in
difference of the women. But now the
patient reformers come again to the
rescue, and propose to make this UNI
tried path still softer to the feet. Wom-
en- are to be spared the trouble of self
registration, and the very faintest excuse
for Sinking their duty is to be denied
them. The privilege asked is so small
that it seems impossible that any Legis-
lature could refuse il. Then, under
this high pressure of motives, with in
convenience at minimum, we may
reasonably look for response. Should
none be given, it is painful to think to
what extremities the loyal leaders of
this cause will be driven III finding ex-
cuses for their laggard constituency

Light housekeeping.

"But, George, we might try light
housekeeping.
A very pretty picture they made,
George Smith and Jane Brown, as they
sat upon the front step that beautiful,
moonlight night, waiting for the 4 10
o. III. up comet.
He was only 10, and over her fair
young bangs but II summers had
passed. and yet, these two, so fair, so
young, were trying to lift the veil from
the impenetrable future and establish
themselves in happy union securely
there.
He felt that he could not in the very
near future afford to rent and hand
somely furnish beautiful home, for
he was only getting 81 week; nor
could they even get board at a first
class hotel, and, as he broke these sad
facts to Jane, great, scalding, manly
tears rolled down his cheeks and on to
his roundabout.
Twas then that, woman-like and in
gentle, soothing accents, she came to
his rescue:
"But, George, we might try light
housekeeping, and as she spoke glad
light. born of the happy suggestion,
illuminated the trusting eyes into whose
calm depths George had been fondly
gazing for four hours and twenty min
utes. George pondered long and
deeply.
Turning at length to the fair being or
his hearts choice, he said: Jane, it
would be sweet, indeed, to dwell with
you in blissful solitude upon some rock
bound coast; to wander hand in hand
upon the seashore all day long, and
light the storm tossed mariners way Mt
night, but it takes political influence to
get lighthouse, and /, alas haven't
even got vote No. Jane; l am
afraid we cannot go to light-housekeep-
ing, but / will save my money, go to n
commercial college and learn book
keeping"
And when Jane had heard the words
that were spoken by George she mar
veled greatly, and she said: Hence
forth, George, can but love you with
mothers love. You're too young for
me-" and she went into the house.

Not In Danger of Subsection.

To talk about the "tyrant man" is SO
absurd rs to place suffrage in false
and undignified light, says writer. If
woman chooses to be "a slave" one
would almost say slavery was good
enough for her. If a woman will allow
herself to be showed to the wall and stay
there, the world will doubtless offer her
every facility; but that there is the
slightest necessity for it is not true.
One can be whatever she wills to be,
and the woman of the period, bright,
talented, alive at every point, is not
precisely the material of which Slaves"
are made The fact is the American
woman is not in the slightest danger of
subsection to any one. But that her in
telligence, her trained faculties, her
insight and refinement should be force
utilized to the affairs of state is fun
damental truth of the day.

Dog and Wild Dog.

Oswald, an enterprising traveller and
naturalist, describing the wild dogs OF
Mexico, and their hatred of domesti-
Gated animals of their race, gives an
instance of their sanguinary propensi-
ty. "The only animal i ever saw torn
to shreds," he says, "was Mexican
butcher-dog that had followed us across
the Bolson de Mapimi, the rocky plateau
between the plain of Durango and the
valley of the Rio Grande. The brute
got little but abuse, L am sorry to say,
but he followed us with the resignation
of martyr. One day when we were pass
ing the edge of ravine, we saw, forty
feet below the IT al, swarm of tramp
dogs devouring the carcass of Il dead
mule. As we stood looking down at
them they leered at us with their saw
age eyes, but went on with their eating,
till something seemed to excite them,
and turning around, i saw the mastitf,
standing at the very edge, gazing down
with sort of pensive interest. At that
moment a heartless muleteer APP
preached him from behind, and gave
him push that sent him heels over
head into the gully, landing him plump
in the midst of his gaunt, wild brethren.
The unlucky brute picked himself up,
and stood rigidly still, facing the
'tramps,' who had scattered in every
direction, but now gathered around him
with ominous looks. They approached
within ten or twelve yards, and then
came to halt, watching the intruder
with steadfast gaze, silently, and with
q gradual contraction of their launches
like panthers crouching for spring.
There was moment of suspense, and
then the whole pack leaped upon him,
and two seconds after the sound OF
cracking bones announced the end OF
the unequal struggle. Three of the
big tramp-dogs did most of the killing,
but at once all the rest laid hold, and in
less time than it takes me to write the
words they had literally torn him in
pieces with fury and rage of destruc-
tiyeness which plainly showed that
hunger had nothing to do with their
motives. 1t was evidently an act of re-
venge. provoked proximately by the
mastiff's unceremonious intrusion into
their midst, hut chiefly, without doubt
by the odium inUidP, the pariah'S
deep-seated and long-cherished hatred
of the privileged caste whose represen.
tative had bearded them in their den.

Our prediction of two weeks ago. that ~it
isn't among the improbabilities that the 18th
Of March twhen Mr.. Ferry's present term
will end) may come and go before Senator
is elected" seems to-day more likely to be-
come fact than when it was written. At
that time it was hoped by every citizen of
Michigan, and almost believed by many,
that the first two or three days after the
long recess would suffice to wind up the
SENATORIAL ELECTION SCRAMBLE
and bring about the election of some good
man-if not Mr.. Ferry, some other rs good
or better. The work and votes of the four
days since the Legislature reconvened on
Tuesday last, have dispelled any such fond
hopes, and now the election is apparently as
far off az when the first Joint vote was taken,
thirty days ago to-day, and no man can
even guess as TO the time when or candidate
who Will be elected. Up to and including
to-day, thirty-nine Joint votes have been
taken and the end is not yet Up to the
time the voting ceased on Thursday, the
18th, there was but very slight change
from the stereotyped votes the leading
candidates have received for weeks;
but when, after conference last
ing much of the afternoon and far
into the night, resolution to dissolve all
caucus bonds or obligations was adopted by
a vote of 22 yeas to II nays, it became almost
a certainty, to all outsiders at least. that
Senator Ferry's last hope of an election had
departed and the voting of the next day
was anxiously waited for. a big breakup be-
ing expected Then it was that every man
