urofeesion are the same for either sex,
hot the Influences, the tendencies Of the
feminine mind give il certain tone and

Moultou's letters to the New York 1rf-
Jsn~ from Boston are models OF their

the New York ledger have never been
surpassed for shortness, pith and salt.
Grace Greenvood's letters are inimita-
ble, and Jennie June, for all the dtstinc-
tivene-s of " vomen'v writings IN COM
pari-on with mems, has no superior on
the continent. When it comes 70 gen
eral journalism, sofss few women stand
the equal of men of any age or country:
Perhaps the most conspicuous and noted
who have been employed in journalism
vas Harriet Martineau. For surne years
abe wrote editOrially for a London pa
Der. Her articles were upon the current
public questions Of the hour, the policy
Of the government at home and abroad,
characters Of eminent pablo men. and
the varions problems of political coon
omy. There was no editorial cOntem-
porary Of Miss Martineau's wbs was
more fully equipped for the office OF
public censor. and the volume Of obitu-
airy biographies which was collected
from her contributions to the paper are
admirable and vivid al any which ap-
peared in any Journal of the time. There
was, however. nothing which Miss Mar
tineau selected to do, or which vas sug-

edited by . woman. but 1t depends for
the iust and assured success achieved
upon the ability With which it is edited,
upon the tact with which public senti-
meut and interest are perceived, and
upon the skill With which the books for

are selected. Az stated, while in certain

Shortly after the completion of the
Northern Pacific, the officers of that
company filed With the Secretary Of the
Treasury heavy bond for the trans
portation of freight shipped through
from Canada in bonds to Victoria. New
Westminster and other points 10 British
Columbia. This c,ass Of freight 10 call
cd bonded because it il sealed upon
leaving Canadian point. aud the rail-
read company gives bonds that the seal
shall not be broken until it has been de-
livered BY il 70 some authorized En9li b
agent. Freight destined for these dis
tant foreign points must come through
the States, a. there il no Canadian or
British read between these points.
When freight 10 bonded it escapes the
duty imposed upon all goods imported
into this country. This il new bust
ness for the Northern Pacific. Former
" il all went by the southern route. A.
the former il ten days the shorter route,
however, local officials expect shortly to
have monopoly Of the business. Spe-
cial arrangements have been made at
Portland for caring for its transfer. A
special customs officer il located there,
who accompanies all this freight ON it,
transfer BY boat from Portland TO IA
lama. while another accompanies it into
British waters. Tho Northern Pacific
bonds we're approved October l3, 1883,
and since then this class of business has
steadily increased. Tho amount Of this
freight handled in October was 100
pounds, in November 5000 pounds, in
December &c, 800 pounds, and in Janu-
AIRY 22O,520 pounds, making a total of
$50, $50 pounds handled in three months
