United States Marshall for that Terrific

summoning a grand jury he managed to

was to bring in indictments against the

of the Democratic aspirants for Office In

THE CIRCULAR.

DEAR FRIENDS AND LATE ASSOCIATES !:
The work Of writing report of our
joint labors is hardly out of my hands.
In this have had the valuable help of
our esteemed Secretary, with whose as
sistance have carefully verified all state
ments. Ofvarious vexations endured by
most ofus during our work at the Expo
sition, have said but little in the docu-
ment just referred to, wishing to preserve
SO much ouly of our record as may be use
tul for remembrance. fl allude to these
vexationS by word, it is in the hope
that the recollection of difficulties en-
countered and surmounted by our action
IN concert, may give us courage to I'M
dertake together some useful service in
the future.
DO not write to you now having in
my mind any developed plan or system
OF action. In this direction I have onlv
the following suggestions to make:
The industrial undertakings of Ameri-
can woman have been shown by our late
exhibit to be various in their character
and IN many respects important to the
community as well as to themselves
We who were brought together by last
winters work at New Orleans. have al
learned from it something concerning the
extent and character ofthese industries
think that what we have learned IN Hi,
direction must excite in each ofus . ID
sire to help the women workers il 81
parts of the Union, and I hope that om,
past experience in common, may enable
US 10 do so by some concerted n7an -
of action. 0l '0o plan O.

Such representation could only be. secur-
ed by arousing in every state the inter
est of women of recognized character and
ability. These should choose their re
representatives. from their own number,
regard being had only to the suitableness
of the nomination, and not to the claims
or wishes of individuals, whether adj
vanced on social, political or financial
grounds.
Much of the work of such an associa-
ton would necessarily be accomplished
through correspondence, which could be
carried on through the medium of the var
ious journals edited by women, and de-
voted to their interests. A valuable in
terchange of opinions might thus be OBJ
tanned, through which we might work
up to a system of periodical exhibits of
woman S work, to be held successfully
in the different states and territories,
much as are held the annual congresses of
the Association for the Advance
ment of Women. These exhibitions
might be called "FairS of the Womens
Industrial Institute. . 7 suggest these
points of possible plan of work in com
mon, and should be glad to have your
views concerning them.
Twill mention as questions to be treat
ed in the correspondence above spoken
of, the following
How shall we best advance industrial
education among women?
How shall we attain an adequate
knowledge of the social wants for which
it will pay to provide?
How can we bring into notice and de-
mand the remote and hidden industries
which prevailin many parts of our coun-
try, especially in mountainous regions.
and in the less frequented pertains of the
Southern States?
How can we obtain funds for carrying
on such concerted action as would be nee
eSSary In such meetings and exhibits of
women's industries as I have proposed
above?
How guard against the abuse of funds
obtained for this purpose?
, =, what would be the advantage of ex-
hlbits like these over those commonly
made in connection with state and coun-
ty fairs?
, HOW far are the Woman's Exchanges
throughout the country active in facilita-
ing the extension and improvement of

Its Own Reward.

In one column of the Lawrence

the Germans of that city who haveheen
ont Of work this winter, and in some Of
whose families there is much destitu-
tion. In another is a letter from
young man in the Concord reformatory
prison to a friend, in which he says /:
''This is a fine place. You do not know
what sport we have, nor can you realize

The Tramp and the Poker.

A good story comes from Missouri,
which is told at the expense of a land
lord whose love for the exciting game
of poker cause him to part with we'll
filled wallet one might recently. Having
ordered load or two of cord-wood from
a farmer, the latter in due time de-
liveTed the same in front OF his GUS
toner's residence, when not long after
q seedy-looking individual came along
armed with q saw and buck and secur-
ing the Job went to work in dead ear
nest for which he was to receive the
munifcent sum of 81. Accomplishing
the task Just as the bell rang for supper
he was asked to partake of the meal,
which invitation he accepted without
much pressing. Supper over he was
paid the dollar for tie wood Job, and
lettering around the store he heard his
benefactor invite several friends there
to Join him in friendly game OF poker,
to which they readily assented. The
HEAVIER of wood looked complacently on
the game for q time, and addressing
himself to the host requested the privi-
lege of taking a hand, saying that al
though apparently destitute, he would
blow in the dollar, and adding that
cards we're the cause of his present de-
graded position in society.
All advice on the part of the players
for the fellow to hold on to his only
dollar proved n ailng, and fn lily he
was admitted to the game. In short
time he found his winnings swelled to
$50, whep, exaspera ed, one of the party
raised the pot to $500, thinking by that
means to freeze the fellow out. Going
down in his bootleg he pulled forth a
roll and covering the bet, soon found to
the dismay of the crowd, that the
"boodle" was again his. A scene fol-
lowed which at one time promised to be
cause celebre at Troy, but the cheek
of the woodsawyer carried him success
fully out of the woods. He was sur
rounded by the crowd and threatened
with death, arrest, cremation, pulver-
izing and even a dose Of dynamite did
he not return their money. Did he do
it ? Not bit of it, but drawing pair
of Smith & Wesson's he defed them all
and threatened the ''whole crew. with
arrest for running a gambling house.
No arrests were made, and the tramp,
taking the train for st. Louis, bade the
Troians a gentle "ta-ta, au revoir, un-

The Curse Of Scotland.

The following is the story of the nine
of diamonds being called '"lhe Curse of
Scotland: ga few evenings before the
battle of Culloden, there were gathered
in the apartments of the Pretender, at
Inverness, a few of his friends for the
purpose of playing cards. In the course
Of the evening the nine of diamonds be-
longing to the pack with which they
were playing was lost. On the night
after the battle, which resulted so dis
astrously for the Pretender's forces, the
Duke of Cumberland entered Inverness,
and, as was his inevitable custom, took
up his quarters in the apartments which,
had been recently occupied by Charles
Edward. On the following morning a
scout brought word that a small force
of the defeated army had taken refuge
in a deep gorge among the mountains.
The duke at once directed an officer to
take a number of men, surround the
party, and to put every man to death
who was found in arms. The officer,
reluctant to carry out the infamous
order. declined to take the command
without he received a written order.
The duke looked around the room to
find piece of paper to write the order
on; some one picked up the lost card,
and presented it to the duke, who wrote
the order on it, and handed it to the
officer. The soldiers departed on their
errand of butchery, and so well did they
execute the dukes command, that not
one Of the devoted Highlanders escaped
death. Hence it is that the nine Of dia-
monds is called "The Curse of Scot
land"

INTO SPACE.
IF the sad old world should jump a cog

n the sad old world should jump cog
Some time in its dizzy spinning,
And go of the track with sudden jog,
What an end would come to the SHINING
What rest from strife and the burden Of life
For the millions Of people in it,
What way out Of care and worry and wear,
All in a beautiful minute.
As round the sun with curving sweep
II hurries, and runs, and races,
Should it lose its balance, and go with leap
Into the vast sea spaces;
What blest relief it would bring to the grief,
And the trouble and toll about us,
To be suddenly hurled from the solar world,
And let il so on without us.
With never a sigh or a sad good-by
To loved ones left behind us.
We would go with lunge and mighty plunge
Where worms nor graves could find us.
What a wild, mad thrill our veins would fill,
As the great earth, like a feather,
Should float thro' the air to God knows where
Aud carry us all together.
No dark, damp tomb, aud no mourner's gloom,
No tolling bell in the steeple,
But in one swift breath painless death
For a million billion people.
What greater bliss could we ask than this,
To sweep with birds free motion
Thro' leagues of space to a resting place
In a vast and vapory ocean.
To pass away from this life for aye,
With never dear tie sundered
And a world on fire for our funeral pyre,
While the stars looked on and wondered
