a correspondent writes Of the bucket
shops which are run by women for the
benefit Of their own sex: These women
managers are IA certain instances only
tools Ia the service OF some downtown
broker, who really runs the shop and
pays them a salary. The broker knows
that ladies Of refinement desire 10 avoid
notice, and hence they hire a handsome
brown-stone front where ladies may
come ard go without suspicion. There
are several Of those on Twenty-fourth
street, where the tickers may be heard
all through business hours, and in eacha
score Of ladies may be seen jOtting down
quotations, which they contriye to see
through the wells which conceal their
identity. There Is a very extensive
bucket. shop on Thirty-seventh street
which is connected with the stock ex-
change by a half dozen wires, a fact
which suggests the extent of the,business
transacted within its walls. This esta-
blishment is conducted by a woman of
great financial ability who has made the
system very profitable, but at the tx
pense of d large number of victims.
She has been in the business a dozen
years, Herrule is to demand a margin
of 10 per cent. on all purchases, and She
charges the usual brokerage, which is
II. cents on 500 for either buying or
selling. As 500 as an order is given
her she t%elegraPhs down to her broker,
by whom it is Immediately executed.
Among this woman's patrons are some
of the richest ladies in the city, who
find stock speculation a relief from
ennui. Other operators are found in
ladies who economic on their pin
money for the purpose. Some money
making milliners and modistes dabble
IN stocks, and then there are those liy-
ing on fixed incomes out of which they
squeeze enough to buy an occasional
putt or '~'call." Taking all these
together, a large aggregate is
formed, and in this manner female
speculation is an acknowledged feature
in Wall street New York.

Engraved cards are the rule. The
script is very delicate for ladies' cards,
which are of a generous size, and cut
nearly square. Cards for married Ia
dies are longer than those used by single
ladies'. and etiquette requires that a
daughter over sixteen shall have Ler
name on her mothers card until she Is
twenty years of age, at which time she
can use a visiting card of her own,
Cards bearing the name of husband and
wife / necessarily large. This fashion
of card is only used i'll paying bridal
calls and during the first year of mar
riage; at all other time the husband and
wife use separate visiting cards. Cards
for gentlemen are narrow and rather
short; the script is round, and has a
much heavier look than the hair line
letters on ladies cards.
All kinds of invitations are written
ON clear white paper, except silver and
golden wedding cards. The former
has the script III silver, and blue tinted
cards; the latter has the cards of a
pinkiSh white with golden letters. For
other wedding invitations there is but
little variety. In the announcement of
a private marriage, the cards are sent
out by the parents of the bride; the
note sheet with lettering is in shaded
script. Square cards are used when
the couple issue the invitations. If
preferred, a separate card, with the
lady's name on can be used. The tu-
ture residence is noted on the left lower
corner. and on the right lower corner
are stated the reception days.
Afternoon reception cards, or note
sheets, are also handsomely engraved
in script. When cards are used they
are of the square shape, with the name
and address. The reception days ale
written in the left hand corner, and
either above or below this the hour is
noted, for example: Tea at 5 O'Clock. "
Dinner invitation cards are partially in
script, neatly engraved; the guests
name is written by the hostess, a pretty
idea, one intended to impart a friendly
tone to the invitation.

In a late number If the newspape
See6eer appear the following interest
ing particulars respecting those Poles
mostly youths and young men-who
were exiled to Siberia for participating
in the Polish lnsurrectlon of 1863 4:
Upon arriving there and being freed
from continual supervision they gave
themselves up neither to despair nor to
an irregular mode of life, But IN order
to obtain the means of living they be-
came s~hopkeepers or worked at differ.
ent trades, or, in some cases-for many
of them were landed proprietors, or
their sons-took to agriculture, aud by
their industry greatly assisted in de-
velopIng horticulture in the province.
Some mathematical students gave their
time and strength to ~carpenterIng Or to
smiths work; others devoted their
talants to matchmaking, and others
theirs to (ine-art) painting. Some
landed proprietors became, bakers and
others sausage. makers. In fact several
businesses, as those of baker, confec-
toner, etc, were unknown in very
many parts OF Siberia previous to the
arrival of these men in 1t. Before that
time, too, there were no coffee-houses,
din'ng-rooms, or even decent hotels in
the province. Again, many of the
exiles-for a large portion of them had
| been students at the universities or
IN the higher schools-devoted them
selves to science or to medicine, and
ungrudgingly gave time, talent, strength
health, II even life to these pursuits;
so that altogether the twenty years So
Journ of these Poles in Siberia has had
a beneficial influence upon the
and customs of its middle and lower
class inhabitants" And tile Seebeer
concludes with the remark that, ''Ihey
haYe now, in accordance with the terms
of the imperial manifesto issued at the
time of coronation, been allowed to re-
turn to their homes, but they leave be-
hind them most agreeable memories in
the hearts of their former fellow-eitizens

Age.

To conduct herself with the dig
nifty befitting her age, is what ma
ture woman findsit exceedingly diff
cult to do. Some thinking them
selves over-wise, will behave much
too old for their age. while others
persist in fancying themselves young,
long after youth has passed, and
behave with a levity that might
have fitted them very we'll sometime
in the dim past, but which in per-
sons Of their age, strikes the behold
or as ludicrous in the extreme.
"We women" says bright lady,
ssheartily hate to grow old, and
when we find the enemy advancing
slowly, though Enthusiastically, we
still try to put off the evil day when
we shall be thought cid, by making
an extra effort to appear young.
We patronize bangs and frizzes, with
new ardor; we adopt brighter colors
and more striking styles than in
former years, while some Of us even
go to such length as to smear the
face with a dirty, disagreeable mix
ture, vaguely believing, for the first
time in our lives, that such things
deceive any one with eyes in his head.
Martinsburg independent. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1875-1900, 1884-06-21

And with al these youthful appur'
tenances, 1t follows as a natural re.
suit, that the woman behaves like
sweet-sixteen, instead OF thirty-s TX.
And the observer is surprised and
Disguised --sorry as can be, that the
simple soul isn't wise enough To be-
have becoming her age, but 10th to
spend much time or thought on such
an artificial article. Too much can
not be said about the art OF growing
old gracefully. To act naturally Is
always the safest rule to follow. 1t
is tot natural fer any woman of ma
ture age to behave as she did when
she was little girl. She may be as
witty and bright as she feels inclined
just so she does not force the feeling;
and however entertaining and at
tractive she may BE-, she win not be
silly. But the years that have added
to hel fund OF knowledge and exper-
fence, will add charm to her gaiety
that no assumed youthfulness can
do"

A Massachusetts, Yankee went
to California several years ago,
got dead broke, and was on the
point Of starving to death. He
then joined the Piutes at the
Pyramid reservation. He re-
manned there until he had fully
mastered the language and habits
Of his dusky friends, and then
painting himself and assuming the
garb of the red men went to
Walker Lake, where, in considera-
ton of his able advice in the
councils of the tribe, he was cleo
ted a chief and allowed three wives.
He says that, although he some
times longed for news from the
Bay state, he was perfectly con-
tent to remain where he was, as
he found the roaming, indepen-
dent life Of the Piutes just the
thing for q man tired of the busy
scenes of civilization.--.Boston

Twas . lit . Southern town

Twas lit Q Southern town
By the river nesting down.
Quaint and quiet, tucked away
From the busy world, 1t Law
Where the stranger seldom found it,
With its cypress swamps around 1t.
Rain. from morning until night;
Rain through darkness till tho dawn;
Time for dawn; but scarce the light
Pierced the veil the word had On,
nc the night came down again,
Softly in her robes Of rain.
Pesceful lay The village, covered
By silence strangely deep:
For the human brood was lowered
BY the drowsy wings Of sleep.
But he cyprt ssed stained lagoons,
Natures somber. souled quadroons,
Felt the tonic Of the rain
Stealing through each sluggish vein.
And through deep and dismal fens
Slid they from their shiny dens.
Whispering low: I'VE come, we co nc,
Lead us, river, strs ng and free!
We will sound Deaths mufiled drum
From the cypress to the sea-
SO the river heard the tramp
of the waters through the night,
Saw the demon of the swamp
Swing his jack o. lantern light
Silent as an army ST. aling
On its unsuspecting foe,
Roar Of rain its steps concealing,
Rose the river from below;
Climbed the hill with steathly tread,
Sent its skirmish waves ahead,
Captured each unguarded boat,
Set the wooden walks ahoat,
Turned. the streets to rivers wide,
Touched the houses, stole inside,
Climbing higher still, and higher
Till it sang amidst the fire,
While he embers answered, scream
ing.
But the warning was in vain,
For the people lay dreaming
To the lullaby Of rain.
Suddenly the thunder spoke
I'LL the world rocked to and fro,
And the little town awoke
In the clutches of its foe.
ut is mihe r. the tempest cried.
"Nol IT'S mine!n the food replied.
"Mirel The water-spout has sent

Reared the hideous cloud; s'Cohtent

Wreck and ruin join thelinel"
Burying deep the cypress knees,
Rushed the furious waters down,
And with battering rams Of trees
Smote and crushed the little town.
What vas man? A being dizzy
In the terrible up-lift.
What was home? A fragile bubble
In the grinding OF the drift.
What was love? A lifetime focused
In an agonizing kiss.
Seeking still one last expression
Through the water angry hiss.
What was life? A lighted tapsr,
Which the furious tide put out.
What re NAMED? One stubborn chin .

The giant spirit who raised the
German people from their long abase-
ment, and gave them their place
among the nations, in due time, by
his choice of a wife. established for
himself happy home, in which his
domestic nature has received a man
ifold and fuitful developement, and
that he is,after all, mot by any means
the man of blood and iron which
M any people suppose him to be. His
wife is nine years younger than her
husband, and was married to him in
1847. Her maiden name was johann
ma Won Puttkamer, and she was the
daughter of quiet, godly Pomeran-
ian home, the atmosphere of which
was pervaded by the spirit of the Mo-
ravian fraternity. That 1.-THE mad
squire [J,nker] of Kneiphof." as Bis
marck was then called In the gossip
Of the neighborhood the future Iron
Chancellor" should have been at.
tracted by, and at the same time
should have awakened q warm and
lively interest in, a lady whose first
impressions of men and things were
received amid such surroundings,
need not, after all, create any sur
prise. Even in those days the per-
iod of unrest, storm, and stress had
been succeeded by one Of calm, and
his wildness and love of mischief had
given place to determination and
alonging after higher things. The
Princess was strictly and piously
brought up; but is of a cheerful and
lively disposition, endowed with a
considerable amount of mother wit,
keenly sensitive, and possessed Of
excellent taste. Very musical, aud
an excellent performer on the piano,
she is at the same time a careful and
thrifty housewife, and, like the no.
BILE ladies Of former times, possesses
some knowledge of the healing art.
During all these years she has shared
intelligently her husbands hopes
and cares, sometimes even the polit-
ical ones, as witness the letters pub
lished by Hesekiel. written to her
when official duties or holiday trav-
els CHANGED to separate them for
awhile. In these he addresses her
as my darling" (mein Herz), my
best teloved;' he sends her jasmine
from Peterhof; he promises her Edel-
weiss from Gastein. From the royal
castle at Ofen he bids her "good-
night from far away" and adds,
"Where can I have heard the song
which has been running through my
head all day:
cover the blue mountains, over the
white sea foam,
Come thou, beloved one, come to thy
lovely home ?''
/ wonder who can have sung that to
me some time orother in saudi lang
syne ?" Elsewhere he recalls on the
sixteenth anniversary Of bis marriage
how it had drought sunshine into
his bachelor life." Over and over
again he gives expression to a feel
ing Of homesickness, Of longing for
her and the children. And in a let
ter written from Smaland he wishes
that he had a little estate peopled
with those he loved on one Of the
wood and heather bound lakes Of
that Swedish province. Many other
parts Of of this correspondence show
how dear his wife is to him, and how
often he thinks Of her. On the 9TH
er hand, we can infer from several Of
the letters that the good lady has be-
come deeply imbued with her hus-
bands energetic modes of feeling
and of thought. -M0RITz BUSCH,
