A MANLY APPEAL.

The British Home Secretary Appealed To
By a Deputation ofUnemployed Working
men-No Charity Wanted, But wosk-The
secretary's Reply.
LONDON, February 1s.-Sir Vernon
Harcourt, the Home Secretary, to-day re-
ceived deputation of unemployed work.
ingmen, who went to the Home Office to
ask the Government for relief fof the un-
employed of London. The Home Secretary
was reminded that the people represented
by the deputation did not desire aims, but
work. The only relief they desired was
employment, in which they gave value re-
ceived for the bread wanted. They de
sired relief in such form only as could be
accepted without degradation. They
repudiated all sympathy with the
Socialistic propaganda. Sir Harcourt wa
much impressed by the expressions of the
deputation. In reply he said the condi-
ton of the unemployed workmen, as pre-
sented by the deputation, was one which
eminently deserved attention. He was
aware that the distress among the honest
poor of London was widespread and deep
seated. He assured the deputation that
the Government had no inclination to
treat the matter in any spirit of dry econ
omy. Still. the question as to the
best method of relief was an extremely
difficult one. Experience had shown that
attempts to relieve distress by iDaugur-
ating public improvements was unwise.
The failure of efforts made by France to
relieve the distressed thirty-fve years
ago, by starting and carrying out vast
public works, was pointed to as an Illus
tration. The Government, however, the
Secretary promised, would look
ito the matter closely and
consider the ACCESSIBILITY of
stimulating the efforts of local philan-
thropic bodies with q view of afording a
larger temporary relic In addition, Sir
William thought that the Government
might do something in the way of emil
grafton by communicating with the Brit
ish colonial authorities.

STEAMBOATS, BURNED.

The Ida Darragh and City of Helena, To-
gether With . Valuable Wharf Boat and
Contents, Burned at Memphis.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, February 19.-Mem-
phis was again the scene of a steamboat
connagration last evening, the result be-
ing the total destruction of the Ids OAR
ragh, of the Memphis & Arkansas River
F.cket Company; the City of Hell
ena, of the st. Louis & Vicksburg
Anchor Line Company, and the Anchor
Line wharf-boat, together with all freight
on the steamers and wharf-boat.
The fire originated in the cotton on the
Iarboard guard of the Ida Darrsgh, which
had Just arrived from the Arkansas River,
and a strong wind blowing at the time,
bafiied all efforts to extinguish it, made
by the engineer, who first discovered the
flames.
The alarm was sounded, and soon all
tne harbor tugs and the entire fire
brigade were on hand, but the flames
gained such Roadway that it was i'm
possible to check them In the least, and
the fire became 50 intensely hot as to
prevent q near enough appro ch to the
burning boat to pull it away from the
wharf-boat
The wharf-5oat soon caught and burned
rapidly, from which the flames commu-
uIcated with the City of Helena, which
was moored at the stern of the wharf
boat. The boats were all burned to the
water's edge. Loss, sl20, 600; partly in
sured. No lives are reported as lost.

The Girl Romp.

The girl romp, otherwise known as the
''tomboy," is an eager, earnest impul-
sive, glad-hearted, kind-souled speci-
men of the genus feminine. II her
laugh is too frequent, and her tone q
trife too emphatic, am willing to
overlook these for the sake of the true
life and exulting vitality to which they
are the escape-valves, and, indeed,
rather like the high-pressure nature
which must close OFF its superhuous
steam in such ebullitions. The
glancing eye, the glowing cheek, the
fresh balmy teeth, the 1.-the and grace
full play of the limbs, tell a tale of
healthy and vigorous development
which is natures best beauty. The
soul and the mind will be developed
also. in due time, and we shall have
before us a woman in the highest sense
of the term. When the .'tOmboy' has
sprung up to healthy and vigorous
womanhood she will be ready to take
hold Of the duties of life, to become Il
worker in the great system of humani-
ty She will not sit down to sigh over
the work given her to do, TO simper
nonsense, or fall sick at heart-but she
will be ever ready TO take up her bur
den of duty. In her track there will b.
sound philosophy. in her thoughts bold
ness and originality; in her heart, heav-
ems own purity; and the world will be
better that she lived in it. To her al
lotted task she will bring heath, vigor.
energy and spirits; these will give her
the power of endurance, without which
her life, in some respects at least, must
be q failure. Frdnctscdn.

TYPHUS FEVER
It's Breeding Places and Those Most
Likely to BE Attacked.

It's Breeding Places and Those Mos,
Likely to BE Attacked.
Last winter a number of cases Of
typhus fever appeared in New York
City. During this last autumn several
similar cases were reported, showing a
tendency of this dangerous fever to be.
come epidemic spreading from a mes,
of foulness and degradation in one OF
the West Side slums. Up to January
Sth the discovered cases numbered
twenty. Every effort has been made to
check the disease, but it is difficult to
control it amid its unsanitary surround
ings.
This fever prevails in England, Scot
land and Ireland more than elsewhere.
From the latter country it sometimes
finds its way to this in emigrant ships
and is known among US as the ship
fever. In Europe it is called camp
fever, whole armies having been nes-ly
swept away by it. 1t is sometimes
called spotted fever, from the extensive
rash thrown out on the body of the pa
tent who is Frustrated by it.
Typhus fever is very contagious. 1t,
however, mainly attacks only those who
come into close contact with it. From
1861 to 1864 nearly fifteen hundred
cases were admitted to Bellevue Hos
pital-over FIVE hundred within the last
six months of the period. During that
time forty persons connected with the
hospital service took it, as did also
twenty-six patients admitted to the hos
pital for other diseases. The poison
seems to need to be concentrated to be-
come dangerous. A single patient sell
dom communicates it.
Crowded. filthy tenements are its
br"eding-places. Epidemics of it pre-
vail in Liverpool more than elsewhere.
Large numbers of the houses in that
city are built back to back in unventi-
lated courts. In these quarters the
fever often attacks every person not
protected by previous attack.
1t is a disease of cold and temperate
climates, and is unknown in the tropics.
1t is also largely winter disease,
doubtless because of the lack of venti-
lation in the filthy lodging-houSes of our
commercial cities, and the depressing
influence of the cold and of the utter
restitution of the poor.
1t attacks persons of every age. Most
of the children-ninety-fve per cent
recover. Of persons over sixty, sixty
six per cent die. The mortality in
creases regularly between these ages.
A person is seldom attacked twice by
the disease. Its duration, If uncompli-
Gated, is from twelve to twenty-one
days When the crisis is passed, the
recovery is exceedingly rapid. The
subsequent health is generally good.
Medical science knows no means either
of curing it or of emitting it short, but
simply seeks to PALATE the symptoms
and to support the system until the
Pc son is eliminated b. the proper or
gans.-fouth's Companion.

THE HORSE.
The Proper Department Toward q Faith
full Servant.


We are too apt to think that the
question of department is altogether q
thing that relates to the behavior of the
dumb beast toward its owner or master,
but it is of the highest importance that
we take q broader view of the case.
When we do this we readily reach the
conclusion that the department of the
beast is a secondary matter, Ringing
upon and resulting from the deport-
ment of the master toward the animal.
The latter is the weaker in intelligence
and will, and is not supposed to have
any latitude or discretion allowed it in
the matter of submission. The point
for each owner to settle in his own mind
is, how will he secure submission and
obedience.
As rule it becomes necessary to del
egate authority over the farm animals
to the hired men, and unfortunately but
very few who hire out in that capacity
use the judgment and feel the response
bility they should. The coercive plan
is the only one they know of or COM
prehend. In fact, thev lave not been

FINNISH WEDDINGS.


How the Ceremsny was CelebFated IN
Olden Times.
On the Sunday morning the invited
guests assembled at the sections house
| (Which was generally near the church,,
and when the morning psalm was being
, sung the procession set out. First OF
all walked the fiddlers. playing festal
march; then swarm of children,
young relatives of the bridal pair; next
the two bridesmaids, then the bridal
couple, and Immediately after them the
bride-dresser. Then followed the two
groomsmen and the rest of the crowd
men first, women next, arranged by the
groomsmen in q certain order. The
procession was so timed that they
reached the church just as the psalm
ended, and if they came little early
| they all waited in the porch until the
proper time. So soon as the singing
ceased the wedding party entered the
church, and walked up the centre aisle,
the fiddler meantime playing right joy
fully, till they came to the altar, when
they turned aside, and stood playing
whilst the whole party was arrayed in
order before the clergyman, who stood
waiting for them. The wedding cere-
mony was then celebrated according to
the old Swedish rites.
The wedding breakfast was generally
laid on three tables set in the form of a
horseshoe The bridal couple sat in the
place of honor-that is, in the middle
of the centre table. Next to the bride
sat the .'bride dresser" then the bride
maids and the rest of the women. Next
the bridegroom sat the clergyman, and
then the groomsmen and the men
guests. The groomsmen acted as mas
ter of the ceremC mics, and saw that each
one sat in his or her appointed place.
Each guest brought knife, fork and
spoon to the feast. The meal over,
dancing began, when polka. waltz, min
net and country dances of all kinds fol-
lowed in rapid succession. Toward the
end of the feast the bride was obliged
to dance with each one of the girls, who
stood in a ring around her. During
this the lads stood all around with
lighted candles. Next the bridegroom
danced with all the men. the girls in
their turn holding the lighted candles.
Then the bride danced with married
women, and the married men held the
lights, and then the bridegroom danced
with the married men, the married
women holding the candles.
After the dancing was over the guests
who lived near went home, while those
who lived at distance stayed the night.
Next day by twelve o'clock all assem-
bled once more to breakfast. The bride
was then dressed as married woman,
in a cap bound with black. After
breakfast the cid folks chatted over
things old and new, whilst the young
folks amused themselves with ring
dances, ETC., which, if the weather was
fine, were held in the open air. This
went on till supper time. After supper
much of the time was spent in singing.

in this city was of ivory satin, trimmed
