The democratic papers ridicule the pro-

in Virginia and Mississippi. The assassina-

whether black or white, is an excruciatingly

Female Bucket-ShOps.

A New York correspondent writes
OF the bucket-shOps which are run
by women for the benefit of their
own sex: These women managers are
IN certain instances only tools in the
service of some downtown broker, who
really runs the shop and pays them
salary. The broker knows that ladies
of refinement desire to avoid nO,ice,
and hence they hire a handsome brown
stone front where ladies may come and
90 without suspicion. There are several
Of these in Twenty-fourth street, where
the tickers may be heard all through
business hours, and in each score of
ladies may be seen jotting down the
quotations, which they contriye to see
through the wells which conceal their
identity. There is 4 very extensive
bucket-shop in Thirty street
which is connected with the stock-eX-
change by Il half-dOzan wires, fact
which suggests the extent OF the bust
ness transacted within its walls. This
establishment is conducted by woman
of great financial ability who has made
the system very profitable, but at the
expense of large number CT victims.
She has been in the business a dozen
years. Her rule is to demand margin
of 10 per cent. on all purchases, and
she charges the usual brokerage, which
is II 1-2 cents on 800 for either buying
or selling. AS soon as an order is Civ
en- her she telegraphs down to her bro
ker, by whom it IS Immediately execu-
ted. Among this woman's patrons are
some of the richest ladies in the city,
who find stock speculation relief from
ennui. Other operators are found in
ladies who economic on their pin
money for this purpose. Some money
making milliners and modistes dabble
in stocks, and then there are those liv-
ing on fixed incomes out of which they
squeeze enough to buy an occasional
put" or call" Taking all these
classes together, q large aggregate is
formed, and in this manner female
speculation is an acknowledged feature
in Wall street.

Poetry and Pensions.

The Chairman of the Committee on
Harmony then announced his desire to
submit a report, and being encouraged
by a smile ten inches long lie read
twelve pages of closely written manu-
script. WaydOwn Bebee had for the
last three years done everything in his
power to bring out and encourage
poets. Several months since Judge
Congo had demanded an investigation,
stating his belief that the principle was
calculated to work evil to society, and
the matter was turned over to the Har-
mOny Committee.
The chairman now reported that he
had personally investigated several
cases, as follows:
l. William Henry Green, of Indiana,
formerly an industrious mechanic with
money in the bank Had written three
poems and an idyl, and was now in
Jail for stealing giraffe belonging to .
circus.
9 Bradawl Watkins, of Ontario,
formerly one of the best whitewashers
in the civilized world. Had written
two odes and an obituary in verse, and
had been fined $25 for pounding his
wife.
3. Judge Glucose Blindhoof, of Ohio,
formerly blacksmith earning So q
day and having Il laugh that could be
heard half Il mile away. Had only
written four verses on s.The Dying
Year" and yet his whole nature seem
ed to have undergone q complete
change. Had had three fights with his
ncighbors, lost his situation, got drunk
and had applied for a divorce.
The chairman said he could give sew
eral further instances Of the fendish
results Of Brother Bebee's efforts, but
before he had time to Go so, Giyedam
Jones presented the following:
''ReSOIUcd, Dat from dis date de Lime
Kiln Club will use cherry means in its
power to discourage de maxim oh poets
and de producshun of poetry"
Waydown Bebee arose to begin an
argument, but he was shouted down
and the resolution put to vote and
carried with whOop.
Samuel Shinn then presented the pc
titiOn Of Liveforever Smith, colored
resident of Detroit, but'n member
of the Lime Kiln Club who desired the
club to endorse his application for Il
pension from the government for iniu-
ries received during the war.

president, you raise the winder and

An Excellent Ear.

The lady sat in the distant corner OF
the room with her back to the piano,
while performer took his station at
the instrument. In the first place, in
order to produce confusion of tone
and deprive the lady of any pitch which
she might be carrying in her mind as a
basis OF reckoning, the experimenter
drew his thumb rapidly up and down
the keyboard two or three times, with
the hampers raised from the strings.
When the noise had subsidized he struck
a single note at random, when the lady
promptly declared it was ''E fiat, >"
which was correct. After she had been
thoroughly tested on single tones, with
out a single mistake, the pianist went
through series of complicated modu-
lations, and when he rested and inquir

A Simple Test.

People who seek healthy sites for
building themselves homes are often
victims to their sense of sight or to
that of others. In many cases the
sense of smell is inferior, and the eyes
are left to supply the deficiency. A
building site may be charming to the
vision, and made additionally attract
i've by being in or proximate to "a good
neighborhood," as the phrase runs,
and the family house purchased or
builded may possess all the appliances
OF sanitation known to experts in
building and plumbing, and yet be a
mansion of death. Life slips away in
manner which surprises physicians
and brings woe to the survivors. Not
long since, in an upper district Of New
York City, the family of a well-knOwn
clergyman was almost decimated by
diphther:a, and still, so far as external
appearances were concerned, the house
was dry and inviting, and, strangest OF
all, IN neighborhood well. paved and
densely populated by an excellent class
OF citizens. The premises underwent
investigation by plumbers and were
pronounced free from all faint of sewer
gas. Yet the dread carnival of death
carried dismay into the hearts of the
heads of the family, and the house was
abandoned. Similar instances have,
and will always, abound until some
simple test for the detection OF malari-
al odors and influences are made. The
simplest of all is place pieces of fresh
meat on the proposed site, properly
protected from theft, and in twelve
hours time it can be decided whether
or not the place is unhealthy or the re-
verse. If the fresh meat rapidly petri-
hes, avoid the locality as you would a
plague spot. Ali architects should be

art of conceiving plans for houses in

n Hard Set of Men.

A correspondent, writing from Pata-
gonia, says of the natives of that coun-
try: lit is strange how these creatures
manage 10 exist in this severely inclem-
ent climate, where it freezes nearly all
the year round They use no more
clothing than that afforded them by
nature, and their huts are nothing but
a few sticks tied together, with "a few
skins and leaves thrown over the top
of them, and their canoes are always
half full of water. The weapons used
are bows, arrows and spears. They eat
the flesh of animals killed in the chase,
and sometimes they catch fish; but their
principal article of food is musSels, of
which there are millions there. They
have nothing in the shape of corn,
wheat or cereals of any kind, rs none
grow any nearer than 1,200 miles away.
They will not touch liquor of any kind
They are in appearance something like
the indians one meets in the altos in
Guatemala, but are Il smaller and
shorter race, and very much more de-
generated. | should imagine them to
be the very lowest specimens of hui
manity existing, and only one link
short in the chain to connect them with
the monkey tribe. "
