Woman and Finance.

Albany Journal.
Although hundreds of women hold
positions of financial trust in the coun-
try, we have yet to hear of one of them
being guilty of embezzlement or defalca-
ton. The evidence clearly suStains the
positions of those who believe that wo-
men are qualified, morally, physically
and intellectually, for the handling of
money in stores or banks. Gen. Spin
ner, who first introduced women into
the United States treasury, left on re-
cord striking testimonial to the eff
cheney and integrity of the sex, and no
one ever had better opportunity to
study the question than he, who at one
time had 900 women under his direc-
tion, engaged in handling money. He
testified that they count more accu-
ratcly and rapidly than men that
their ability to detect counterfeits proved
to be superior in almost every test that
they were without an exception, honest,
and were invariably more careful and
painstaking in their work.
Complaints of inaccuracy and care
lessnesS on the part of men were made
frequently during Gen. Spinner's .ad-
ministration of the United States trea-
sury, but such complaints against lady
clerks were few. The shrewdest and
quickest detectors of counterfeit cur
rency were women, and in the case of
dispute as to the genuineness of money
Gen. Spinner invariably took the judge
ment of Miss Grandin, who was for
long time employed in his bureau. In
speaking of her ability in this particular
one day Gen. Spinner said: "lf |
were believer in nclairvoyance Ishould
say that she possessed that power; but |
am not, so call it instinct. Although
there are several thousand women en-
ployed by the government as clerks,
accountaRSs, postmistreSseS and in other
capicaties not one has ever proved un-
faithful to her trust. Many have been
discharged for incapacity and other
reasons, but never one for dishonesty.

Walter Hays, Aged ~ Years, Comes
20 Canada Alone fn Search OF
Rs-TaffreS


There arrived in Wingham on Thursday a
youth who has experienced considerable
hardship OF late. His name is Walter Hays.
aud he is only thirteen years Of age. He re-
sided at Birmingham, England, and a short
time since his parents both died, leaving
him alone and destitute. Having heard his
parents speak Of a brother living in Canada,
the lad determined to seek him, knowing
his letters came from Wingham, After a
toilsome tramp from Burlington 10 Liver
pool the boy managed 10 conceal himself
upon one Of the great ocean steamers, and
came to America as a stOwsway. He was
concealed seven DAYS before he was discov-
cred. and as he had tainted from his suffer
ings he had undergone il vas at first be
lieved that he was dead, but after considera-
bic difficulty he waa resnscitated. The pas
sengers raised a purse for him, and on reach
ing Baltimore the British consul was induced
to interest himself in the lad, who was pro-
vided with a ticket To Wingham, on the Lon
don, Huron and Bruce. he came through
in perfect safety, but by mistake he was car
ried as far as Chatham. However, on
Thursday be was brought back and taken to
Wingham, when II was learned his brother
lives within ten miles of that place. The little
fellow appears quite intelligent, and in an
swer 10 questions, he stated that he liked
this country much better than England,
pathetically assigned as the cause that he
would go hungry long time in England be-
fore any one would give him any money oil
anything TO eat, and seemed very grateful
for the kindness he had received. The ex
press messengers and trainmen entertained
the lad royalty, treating him to a supper the
Ike OF which he had never seen before, anC
which be was almost afraid To touch al

Hotr OPIUM ~ Smoked.

Tue smoker lies curled up, with his head
resting on a bamboo or earthen pillow about
five inches high. Near him stands an opium
lamp, the fame Of which is protected by a
glass shade low enough for the point of the
flame to project above the top OF the shade.
The smoker takes a wire and dips it into a
little box containing prepared opium. A
small quantity adberes to the point Of the
wire, which is then held over the fame of
the lamp until the heat has swollen it 10
about ten times its original size. This is
rolled on the fat side of the clay bowl, the
opium all the time adhering TO the wire
When II has been rolled TO a soft, solid mass,
il is again applied TO the lamp. and the alter
nate roasting and rolling is kept up for at
least ten minutes, by which time il is in the
shape of a pill and ready for use. The aper-
ture in the pipe is so small that IL can only
receive the smallest quantity and the most
careful manipulation is needed to transfer
the tiny ball of opium from the end of the
wire to the bowl of the pipe. The point OF
the wire is inserted into the hole Of the pipe
and worked round aud round till the soft
opium is forms into cOnical shaped ring
around the wire. By twirling the wire the
the drug is gradually detached from it,
leaving a hole through the opium about as
large as the hole Of the pipe bowl, with which
II communicates. The pipe is now ready
and the bowl is held over the lamp so that
the opium comes in contact with the flame.
A suffering noise ensues as the smoker
sucks at his pipe. Alter each successive
draw he elects from nose and mouth a vol
ume Of smoke, the very smell Of which is
enough to turn horses stomach. By the
end of the fourth or fifth Whit the pipe is
empty. The smoker scoops up another dose
Of opium, rolls 1t into pill and repeats the
operation with the same patience before
and smokes away until the pipe falls from
his hands and he is lost in dreamland. II
tobbcco smoking were only half the trouble
tobacconists would soon have to shut up
shop.-Sa,s Francisco Chronicle.
