American Girls as Students.

OatSSe4l , Il AMY hldSallht,
American women of all classes are
extravagant IN dress. All, from the
wife of the millionaire to the "hlred
girl, dress more showily in the street
and at home than French or English
women consider either ladylike or
becoming to the position of the wearer
or the work she happens to be engag
ed in.
By her quiet dress and refined man
ner the EsglIsh people can demon
strate to the American school girl
what constitutes a true gestlewoman.
Teachers will find that their Ameri.
can pupils lack the respect with Which
Eaglish girls usually treat those in
authority over them.
The American girl is shrewd, quick
of comprehension, instant in rePartee,
easily taught, but not easily trained,
impatient of the restraint of school
life, and therefore taking pleasure in
breaking all possible rules and trying
to outwit her teachers, not from mal>
ice, but from sheer mischief and what
she calls fun.
She is ready To make amends, also
ready to offend again at the first oP-
portunity. She is only to be guided by
affection and quiet determination.
English girls, being more amenable
to authority, and also having more
persistency in their pursuit of knows
edge, make better students than their
American cousins.
With regard to other workers, do
mestic servants of all kinds have the
best chance of success and of making
money if they will only be thrifty and
prudent, avoiding the pitfall of snowy
dress.
/ Good cooks, laundresses, and gems
eral servants can generally obtain
sufficient wages ard comfortable
homes.

ANOTHER BANK swINDLE

BUFFALO, July 81. Many rumors
have been circulated tbs past fewadags
Of the deficiency in ths accounts of
the late Henry COnover, assistant
cashier of the Manufacturers and
Traders bank Of this city, who died
suddenly on Friday last The officers
of the bank this AFTERNOON furnished
the following statement Mr.. Con
over had charge off, the Responsible
department IN the bank in which de-
partment the. errors appeared. His
death deprieved. the bank Of bis as
sistance in examining the books or
reconciiing the error"
The officers OF The Bank have been
Obliged to make ar examination of
the books under very disadvantage
GUS circumstances, but ID developes
the fact that the abstraction Of the
banks property has been nade from
time 10 time, dating back several
years and aggregating 81 900, which
is possibly lost. The examination
iustifies us in saying that the sound

that there is considerable surplus in

JEFF DAVIS ON A SOUR APPLE
TREE.
How the Famous Song Had ITS Origin
In the Army.


A few days ago we saw in The
Leavenworth Times a clipping from
an eastern paper giving the authorship
of
| Wen hang Jetl Davis on sour apple tree
to Leavenworth boy, knowing
that George A Huron, now prom>
inent attorney in Topeka, formerly
probate judge of this county, was the
author, we sent him the clipping and
received the following reply:
TOPEKA, Kan. May 7, 1885. LON
W. ROBINSON, Editor Argus - Dear
Sir In answer 10 yours of the 30th

thorship OF the lines of the John

have to say that while | do not re-
gard the authorship as important to
the world as even that of Beautiful
Snow" yet, since you nave asked me,
| must contradict the statement that
they originated WITH Leaven worth
or any other newsboy. The verse was
first sung by myself, at that time a
soldier in brave Jimmy Shields di-
vision in the Shenandoah valley, near
New Market, Va, in the spring of
1862 We were at the time pushing
'Stonewall Jackson" up the valley to
Harrisburg, had cheered the WEAKNESS
OF an all-night march through rain
and mud singing John Browns
Body" until the words seemed as bad
ly worn out as the tired troops. Our
brigade had halted at the roadside
and were hastily boiling coffee for
their scant breakfast, while in the
column still tramping by tired sol
der here and there YEARLY continued
the refrain:
While his soul goes marching on.
W hen suddenly an old ditty l heard
when a boy about
sick monkey on a sour apple tree
Came into nay mind, and remarken
TO my chum, Let's give John Brown
a rest" He said, 'How will you do
it2' replied, singing:
Wen hang JEFF Davis on a sour apple tree.
When rapidly as sound could travel
the words were caught up, and in a
few moments Shields division was
singing them.
The Graphic is not the first to char
acterze. the lines as coarse and half
brutal, for, after his little episode in
skirts, while JEFF Davis and family
were guests of the nation at Fortress
Monroe, / remember to have seen a
published copy of a letter from Mrs.
Davis, in which she complained bit
terly OF the brutality of the Yankee
soldiers, who had taught her youngest
child Il think she called him little
Jef'D to ''sing the coarse words, " and
said the little innocent never seemed
so happy as when singing:
We'llhang JEFF Davis on a sour apple tree
in the neighborhood of his fathers
cell. At this distance it is not sur
prising that the line CRATES harshly on
fastidious ears, but then it was not
constructed for use in a drawing-room.
In fact, there was no special thought
in its construction IL was one OF those
things which simply drops into a
niche and fits, and if tue thousands
of soldiers VINO, on the weary march
were invigorated by the imprisoned
words are not ashamed for having
sung them, neither am | ashamed for
having originated them.

How Incandescent lamps Are Made
Electrical Review.

"The way incandesceut lamps are
made is very simple an electrician
said recently. There are different
ways of preparing the tilameuts,
which are shaped, carbonized, and
treated at a white heat. They are
then placed in platinum holders,
which are imbedded in glass, and
next go into the hands of the glass
blower. The glass bulbs have round
openings at the bottoms and little
tubes at the tops. The little tubes all
connect with a big tube. This is calls
ed a big tube This is called a fork
and resembles a cluster of black~ber~
ries. Two or three dozen bulbs may
be on fork. The glass blower places
hlaments in each bulb at the bottom,
and YIELDS the glass about the platin.
UNI holders to the edge of the OPEN
ing Then the air is drawn from the
bulbs.
THE open end of the big tube is
attached to an air pump, which has
forty pounds of mercury drops it cars
ries all the air with it, and vacuGms
are created ia the bulbs. The opera.
tor then takes a Bunsen, burner and
directs its flame against the little
tubes close to the bulbs This closes
the bulbs, which are then removed
from the big tube. The glass blower
finishes them off. The exhausting Of
the air from so many lamps at one,
makes the cost small. The bulbs can
be made by any ordinary glass blow
err, but it requires man of Intelli-
gence to make the filaments.
