DR.. Hammond's estimate Of the moral
perceptions and moral courage Of women.
expressed in . recent number Of the
North American Review, 10 much too
low. There can be no doubt that women,
~ . whole, are better than men-at least
this 10 true in all enlightened Christian
countries. Az to honesty in money mat.
ters, they have . clean record. Many
hundreds have been in positions 10 han
die corporation and public moneys, and
we fAil to recall = single instance where .
woman has been q defalcator.
No one had a better opportunity than
Gen. Spinner, who employed more than
. thousand women, in counting money in
the United States Treasury, to know
how honest and accurate they are. He
testifies, ''that they count more accurate
ly and rapidly than men; that their
ability to detect counterfeits proved to
be superior in almost ever test; that
they were without al exception honest,
and were invariably more careful and
painstaking in their work. Complaints
of inaccuracy and carelessness on the
part of men. were made frequently dur
ing Gen. Spinner's administration Of the
United States Treasury, but such CON-
plants against lady clerks were few.
The shrewdest and quickest detecters Of
counterfeit money were women; and in
cases Of dispute as to the g~enuineness OF
money, Gen. Spinner invariably took
the judgment of a Miss Grandin, whs
was . long time employed in his bureau"
Although the Government has employed
many thousands of women as clerks, ac-
countants, and Postmistresses, not one
Of them has ever proved unfaithful.
DIR. Hammond will have to study the
better class Of women a little more be-
fore he writes another article on women.

GEN. GRANTS TOKENS.

1t is generally known that Gen. Grant
esteems Ii Hung Chang, the virtual
ruler Of China, as one Of the four most
able men he met in his journey around
the world, and that he especially en-
joyed his visits in ''the Flowery King.
dom" and in Japan. He was the recip-
lent Of costly tokens of favor in those
countries, and the presents he is now to
send to the Chinese Viceroy and the
Mikado Of Japan are to express his re.
membrance Of a kindly reception at
their hands. The machine guns he has
received from q Hartford firm Is the
chosen gifts have = Government record
of sos shots q minute, and have been
fred At the rate of 700 shots q minute.
The eyes of Gen. Grants friends will
doubtless open wide with astonishment
at the reception Of weapons capable OF
firing $4,000 to 40,000 shots an horr,
and the Connecticut gunmakers may
now expect extensive orders for the
armies of China and Japan, In fact,
says the New York Mail, there is . sus.
picion that the gifts are q shrewd Yankee
device to secure the introduction of the
machine guns abroad, and Gen. Grant
has quite willingly consented to aid its
success by paying . courtesy to the
Vicerov and to the Mikado.

NImPsON,S MARRIAGE.

The Adjutant-G General Of the Depart
mont Of Arizona asks the New York
Herald to publish q letter defending the
course Of the court martial which recently
sentenced Lieutenant Simpson to dis
missal for having married his mistress.
The purport Of the letter is that, instead
of marrying his mistress and thus doing
justice to = wronged woman, Simpson
took y his wife . person who was not
only Of VIGOROUSLY bad character, but
had for ten years been manager Of = dis
reputable house. Whereupon the Herald
comments thus;
If this is true the sympathy expressed
for the officer is uncalled for. Marriage
may alter the social status of some
women, but not Of such . one, and dis
missal 10 . punishment none too severe
for . man who would endeavor to impose
. vile character upon the social set CON-
posed Of the wives and daughters Of his
brother officers.

EXQUISITE Music.

Mr.. j. p. DeLo, whose presence
and business in Pulaski is noticed
in another paragraph, astonished
and electrified a large number OF
ladies and gentlemen Monday and
Tuesday nights by his performan-
ces on the violin. We were not
prepared to hear such music as
he rendered. Indeed, we never
heard the like before, having never
heard Ole Bull nor any Of the other
celebrities, and we had not con-
ceived that a violin could be so
wonderfully and dextrously han
died. OF course we could not Judge
as between him and them, and we
therefore asked Mr.. Tyree Rodes if
Ole Bull excelled Mr.. DeLo, when
he replied that if he did he was not
competent to detect the difference.
The most marvellous strains and the
most intricate chords were woven
into fantastic music that delighted
and bewildered the listener, wrapt
in establishment at the profound ex-
hibitiOn of the most rapid and cor
rect execution, and in ecstacy at the
delicious symphonies that leaped in
thrilling sweetness from the instru-
ment at his magic touch and trilled
and danced their lives away in de-
lightful echoes upon the air. Mr..
DeLo was intimately acquainted
with Ole Bull and was present at
his marriage. He was for many
years a professional musician and
carries with him now for pleasure q
full complement of music. He is
without doubt the most accom-
plished musician that ever delight
ed Pulaski with his presence.

Almost Drowned

Miss Lizzie Bunch, oldest daugh-
ter of Mr.. +. M. Bunch, came very
near being drowned in Richland
creek last Saturday afternoon. She
left home in the morning for the
purpose of spending the day at her
aunts, but went fishing, and was in
canoe with several young people
and children. She had hold of the
rudder guiding while Gus Dishongh,
a youth of sixteen, was rowing
The rudder struck some obstruc-
ton and threw Miss Lizzie over
board, where the water was about
fifteen feet deep. She sank three
times and the canoe ran over her
once, before her rescuer, the young
man Dishongh, could no anything
to save her life. As she rose the
third time, being accidentally in
reach, he caught her by the shout
der and lifted her face out of the
water, and finally succeeded in rails
ing her into the canoe where she lay
unconscious for several minutes.
She was sick with headache and
fever several days afterward. Hers
was a very narrow escape, and but
for the presence of another small
canoe the one that brought her
ashore would almost certainly have
been capsized in the effort to lift her
into it and others might have been
drowned also.

The Ladies BaZar,

The Ladies' Bazaar previously
announced in the CITIZEN will be
opened to the public Tuesday, May
30, in Antoinette Hall, and will con-
tinue three successive days. The
evenings inclusive will be devoted
to the character concert by our city
amateurs and the ice-cream and
strawberry festival. Both will be
made deserving of patronage, and
the ladies look to a generous public
for success in their enterprise, which
to them seems highly commendable.
We remember how enjoyable these
occasions have been before, but this
will exceed any, covering three days
and comprehending unique con-
cert, which is being prepared with
extra care. The ladies have veri-
fed our promises for them before
and we now predict season of
richer enjoyment. than they have be-
fore afforded.

In thu Holy Land

Rev. Henry r. Coleman, grand
chaplain of the grand lodge of
Masons in Kentucky, lectured on
Free-masonry In the Holy Land be-
fore the Masons in Pulaski Satur-
day night. Sunday morning he
preached mastery sermon at the
Methodist church, and at night the
same church was crowded with
auditors to hear his lecture. He
spoke for over two hours, giving a
running description of the country
and its products, studied from a
biblical standpoint. He exhibited
specimens of all the woods men
toned in the bible taken from the
exact spots mentioned in the bible,
together with fruits, seeds, waters,
ETC., all having historic prominence.
He showed coins of the country run
ming down from $50 B. c., and
many precious stones and curiosi-
ties of ancient date, giving illustra-
tions of habits and customs, etc
1t was a lecture of minute details
given in connection with events
that make them important, and the
effect of the whole was to change
the opinions Of many with reference
to many important facts. His
whole idea is to substantiate the
bible. He spept many months
travelling up and down the country
and he gathered and shipped tsOenty
tlOo tons of specimens, and will go
back in July to complete his collec-
ton. He established the fact that
the soil there is the richest for it's
purposes of any on the face of the
earth, Notwithstanding the external
appearance indicates absolute
sterility. He overthrow the idea
that the Jews are re-taking the
country and showed that they cut
an insignificant figure in affairs and
are small in numbers. His special
work is to show that the bible is
true absolutely in every local men
ton. No standard history of any
country is absolutely accurate in
detail, even in this enlightened age,
and the fact that there is not a flaw |
in the minutest fact asserted in the |
bible, written at a time when in
formation was scant and errors
easily made, is a powerful argument
of its authenticity. Christ once
casually said that the mustard seed
was the smallest that was planted
in the ground. Mr.. Coleman pro
cured a sack of them and he ex-r
hibits them and substantiates this
statement. He also shows a crown
of thorns made from exactly the
same kind of cruel thongs that
pierced the Savior's brow, and he
revealed fact known to few, that
these thorns are almost as poison
Gus as a scorpions bite to the flesh,
thus adding fresh humiliation to
that endured by the Savior. He
said that the people chung to their
old customs with a tenacity that
cannot be shaken, rejecting all in
in machinery, ETC., and
that they would not accept improve
ment and it could not be forced on
them. The country that gave birth
to the Son of God and then rejected ,
him is doomed to blight and decay
and no efforts to ameliorate the
effects of the curse are successful. {

ground to make much Of a yield.
Hog and hominy are fast dethron-

not serious. Sam Scott has passed

little feminine feet at the formers

more calico for the new addition to

Mr.. Editor, are about one-fourth

other communities are equally
