Women Buyers.

"Do you ever have any lady buyers

tive OF the Carpet Trade and ReuieU, OF q
prominent carpet manufacturer.
eyes, sir, and what's more these lady
buyers are among the sharpest purchasers
we have to deal with. They pay the
strictest attention to every detail of the
business, select their goods with greater
care, and have much better taste than the
average male buyer. Now it is an un-
doubted fact that American wives are not
consulted enough upon many subjects re-
lating to their husbands business, where
their advice would be of benefit to all con-
cerned. In France, it is almost the rule
to see the wife of a manufacturer or store
keeper, not only taking an interest in the
business, and having desk in the office,
but in many cases actually managing the
business. Can a man have more trust
worthy cashier or head book-keeper than
his own wife? No, sir. If our business
men would only admit their wives and
other female relatives into their offices,
we should hear much less frequently OF
defaulting cashiers and defaulting book
keepers. A man can have no better ad-
wiser than his own wife, and very few
know what excellent business men
women make, if they are carefully trained.
Some of the largest businesses in France,
employing many hundreds of persons, are
entirely managed by women. / am no

A CANADIAN writes home to the To-
ronto Mail that he saw the Prince and
Princess of Wales at Nottingham the
other day. "The Prince" he says, "struck
me as being an exceedingly handsome
man, slightly bald, but with splendid
sparkling eye, good healthy color, and a
handsome and well-trimmed glossy beard ;
he looks the very picture of manly health.
He is 80 like his portraits that even one
who had never seen him before could have
no difficulty in picking him out in a
crowd. He looked every inch a prince,
and jolly good fellow. The Princess is
said to be the handsomest lady in Eng
land. OF course as to this cannot judge,
but l do know that she is not only good
looking, but intellectual looking as well,
and has about her every action that
charming sweetness of manner which has
made her name byword in this country
for all that is good and womanly. The
Princes eldest son and the three daugh-
tiers are all bright-eyed and healthy look
ing, and thought to myself that unless
some dreadful calamity befell the royal
family there would not for a long time
exist any necessity, as was done on a
former occasion, to send out of the coun'
try for heirs to the British throne"

her story. Rose had dropped her work,
and sat with her eyes fixed upon her
aunt's face.

Gle never knew it," said Aunt Grace.
"When take up the religious or secular

"But he ought to know it," said Rose,
Indignantly.

said Aunt Grace, gently. He could
never imagine of what consequence sum
of money, which seemed trifing to him,
might be to poor girl. But that is the
reason wbv l always pay my bills
promptly, Rose"
Rose stood up, put away her work and
her crewels and left the room. A few
minutes afterward she returned, cloaked
and hated for the street.
Thank you for your story, Aunt
Grace" she said, as she buttoned hel
glove, 81 am going down now to pay that
bill, and as for Mrs. Lorimer's reception

cine or law, for l fancy that no women
can become useful in either of these pro-
fessions without becoming to certain
degree unsexed; but should be the last
person in the world to refuse TO recognize
the fact that women can be of great as
sistance in nearly all classes of business,
and can successfully hold the majority of
responsible commercial positions now
held by men. In the carpet trade we
have several ladies who own their own
stores, others who buy for their husbands
stores, and others still who always accom-
pany their husbands on their business
trips to the city,"
But do you not think that women as
q rule are likely to be more easily infu-
enced than menu"
No, sir. not in business, and perhaps
not out of it. A business woman is far
more difficult person to deal with than a
business man. Once let her understand,
or even fancy she understands the bust
ness and You may be perfectly certain
that she will never be imposed upon. One
of our lady customers is also designer,
and she recently brought us one of the
prettiest carpet designs that l have ever

We were only too glad to do it, and the
design is now one of the best selling
bodies we have in stock. 1 know one
lady whose husband owns large curtain,
upholstery and carpet business, in fact a
general house-furnishing store, and that
lady knows more about the actual details
of the business than her husband, and
yet he's no fool; on the contrary, he may
be classed as a good business man
But"
Just at this moment a genteelly dressed
lady entered the store. She was about
thirty years of age, good looking, ant
possessed that quiet, collected look tina
denotes the real lady. In thoroughly
business-like manner she examined thu
stock, selected her goods and selected
them with the best Of judgment, and
after exchanging few words with thu
head of the firm, walked out of the plac
as if she was in the habit of buying
thousand rolls day.
"That's one of our lady buyers" re
marked the manufacturer, "and you cal
form an idea of the general manner o
the ladies who have energy enough t.
take part IN conducting their husbands
business. Mr.. 49, is a prosperous re

word, but while he attends to the genera

A Battle Flag Returned.

The significant event of the day in New
York was the return of the colors of the
one hundred and fifty-fifth regiment by
the cadets of the Virginia military insti-
tute, where the flag was deposited at the
close of the war. These colors were lost
in the fight of Cold Harbor, where the
brave Colonel MacMahon of the one hun.
dred and fifty-ffth, young man only
twenty-six years of age, had planted them
on an earthwork, in advance of all his
men, and maintained them in the face
of the enemy's fire until he was riddled
with bullets. AS he said himself, with his
dying breath, he was shot all to pieces.
An officer, also wounded near by, crawled
over and offered the dying colonel some
whiskey. He was then lying with his
hands clasped over his breast, and his
lips moving as if in prayer. He only re-
sponded to the officer, d" No, no, l thank
you. Let me die in peace" Three of the
MacMahon brothers distinguished them
selves in the war. The first to fall was
the colonel of the one hundred and fifty
fifth, and his brother, the hero of Cold
Harbor, took his place. The surviving
brother, General MacMahon, was offered
the position of colonel; but he de-
clined and left the command to the
ieutenant-colonel, who, when captured,
begged the confederates to save young
MacMahon. But it was then too late.
The body of the colonel lay for three days
on the spot where he fell, so terrible was
the fire of the combatants at that point.
He was finally buried at midnight. The
chaplain who performed the service and
hundreds of the men were in tears. By
an order of Meade, no regiment which
had lost its colors was permitted to carry
colors again until it had won the right by
gallant conduct. In the case of the One
Hundred and Fifty-fifth, General Han,
cock most earnestly protested, saying, 81
would be content to lose all the colors of
my command in the same way" An ap
peal was taken to General Grant in the
war department, and the colors were re
stored. This is the pathetic, yet proud sto-
ry of the captured flag. 1t was delivered OIL
the Fourth in the governors room at the
city hall. Col. Ball of the eleventh Vir
GINA cavalry, who captured the flag, hand
ed it to Mayor Edison with the remark tina
Virginia acted now in the sincere belize
that her sons were brothers of the citi
zens of New York. He referred to tn,
speech of President Arthur, who, whei
receiving the cadets earlier in the day a
the Fifth Avenue hotel, had said, 6"
wish here to express my hope and conf
dence that henceforth, whenever the fla
of New York regiment shall be assailed
if the gallant soldiers of Virginia are by
they will be prompt and eager to defent
it." Col. Ball fully endorsed the senti
ment.- Christian Register.
