I;,bioo house Of Frank Leslie was at that

n. business already in the hands Of an
sssionee. Almost the dying words Of
t5e publisher were a noble testimonial to
tbe GOOD wife, the intelligent, ready
bo1n-nate, as he honored her with his sa-
cred trust. He told her to take his place
attbe desk, to finish the work he had left
nndone, to lift the reproach Of debt from
his name, and when that was done she !
was to continue the business of the pub
fishing house herself.
She was young and very beautiful
woman, that sad-hearted widow, who
turned from a grave to face difficulties
the most perplexing, to begin contest
that many wise ones prophesied would
end badly for her. But those sage, in
credulous, head-shaking fnanciers did
notknoW what woman can do, who has
energy and pluck united with rare intel
ligence and a mind formed for executive
work. By a legal process and in re-
Spouse to her husbands wishes, Mrs.
Leslie abandoned her Christian names of
Miriam Florence and became in the law

the business world she became even more
than Frank Leslie; when the slender,
sweet-taced, gentle-voiced woman walk
ed into her husbands office, and putting
back the sad announcing folds of her
crepe veil, announced she had come to
stay, her gentle, gracious femininity won
the sympathy of those about her. But

The Victorians have very sharp way
of dealing with the cheap labor Difficult
ty. No vessel is allowed to bring into
port more than one John Chinaman for
every hundred tons of its size. Conse-
quently ship of fourteen hundred tons
would only be allowed to carry fourteen
of the heather ones. We have just seen
in a file of Victorian papers that vessel
of that size was found to have fifty Chi
namen on board, and the captain was
mulcted in a penalty of five hundred dol
lars. Every Chinaman coming to Vic
toria has to take out papers of neutrali-
cation and pay poll tax. But the cute
celestialS post their naturalization papers
to their friends in China, who come over
with them, and thus escape the tax.

In the Mont Gents Tunnel acc

In the Mont Gents Tunnel accidents
are happening to the men on freight
trains arising from want of ventilation.
One freight train having come to stand
still two miles from the mouth of the
tunnel, all the train men were found to
be in stupor, from which they did not
revive until removed to the open air.
Passenger trains travel at faster rate,
and such accidents do not befall them.
St. Gothard tunnel ventilates itself.

and women fell in love with the New
Frank Leslie and gave her the bestwork
OF which they were capable. The dying
wishes Of Frank Leslie have been car
RED out, but only after his widow has
encountered and triumphed over one
long succession Of difficulties and obsta-
cleS.
Opening out of the main editorial
room on the Park place front is the pri-
yate office of Mrs Leslie, the presiding
genius of the entire establishment. A
peep within its walls will discover a rare
and attractive combination of the sur
roundings of a woman ofrefned and cul-
tured taste and active business habits.
Sitting IN her bijou sanctum in the mid
summer glory Of triumph, Mrs. Leslie
presents thoughtful and unusually earn
est face. Her wondrously expressive
gray eyes seem to pierce to the inner
humanity of sense and motive; mouth
extremely mobile in its play is added to
the whole contour Of regular features that
at once arrest admiration and respect.
One can not help taking in also finely
shaped head, that is abundantly stocked
with brains.
She is thorough woman OF business.
every morning she is found in her office
by 9 O'Clock, and there she remains until
5 or half-past 5 in the afternoon. She
signs all checks and money orders,
makes all contracts tor supplies of every
sort, looks over proof of all articles be-
fore they are published, and approves the
makeup Of every periodical before it is
sent to press.
Mrs. Leslie is that most gracious and
attractive of all human beings, awomanly
woman. She has never been too busy
to talk to a woman. She has ever been
quick to detect their talents, and to give
them the friendly hand of help. She has
proved herself one Of the greatest, most
enterprising and Shrewd of the publishers
of this age, the equal in enterprise, liability,
discretion, of any man in the world and
alas she is not only a pretty woman, but
she is fond of dress, has pretty feminine
airs, and is, at the proper times, devoted
to Society.-Lenington WAijem LjJerary

taken the pistol, and therefore visited the

subject. Corners, who is a barkeeper. as

GRADUATION OF MRS. aosHEE.
An Event for Hindostan aud for Phiia

4 A
deIphia.
1t will be remembered that last June
Gopal Vinayak Joshee, Hindoo Brahmin,
lectured before the Museum Association in
this city, and by his plain talk excited
lively interest and no little controversy
He went from here to the East, to be pres
ent at the graduation OF his wife al Phil
adelrhia college A few weeks ago
Hindoo woman of wealth and high caste
passed through Sacramento for Philadel-
phia to be present at the graduation. To
those who remember Joshee and the debate
as to whether he was what he claimed to
be, the following from the Public Ledaer. of
Philadelphia, of March 9th will be of in.

son next Thursday, March 18th, at the
Academy of Music. at noon, the Woman's
Medical College will hold its thirty-fourth
annual commencement, and will graduate
over thirty doctors of medicine. Among
them will be the high-caste Hindoo woman,
Mrs. Anandibae Joshee, whose husband
late an official under the Government of
India, has come to this country, and also
her cousin, the learned PunGita Rhamabal.

the high-caste women of India are kept.
being restricted to the personal attendance
of the most ignorant women in cases of
illness, or, as in Bengal zenanas. only be-
ing allowed to put the tongue or the wrist
through a slit in a curtain for the inspec-
ton Of man physician, the graduation of
the first medical woman from Hindoostan
Is an event of historical importance Ii
probably will not be long after Mrs.
hoo rain 10 Il,
on her visiting lists will be compelled to
leave the comforts of their own rooms
when little baby is born, and 90 down
into the cow-shed and lie upon the
earth for twenty-eight days. Already
the presence of American medical women
IN lndia has done something towards intro
ducing an enlightened treatment in these
upper-class circles of India, but a native
Brahmin doctor, woman, whom no pa
tent will loose caste by touching. will be
about the greatest benefactor that America
can send to the Hindoo world 1t must be
mentioned here that our Western ideas of
refinement and high breeding do no more
than indicate the qualities which these
hlgh-bred Hindoo ladies possess. Mrs.
Joshee would need no lesson or hint from
the most thoroughly well-bred woman in
this country Apparently the oldest of the
Old World races can give points in consid-
crate etiquette to the newer nations. ANY
one who should Judge these ladies in their
characteristic Oriental costumes as being
thereby natives of half-civilized race,
would have only to talk with them or meet
them daily, as the Professors of the Wom-
ems College have done, to be quickly set
right in this respect. 1t is marvellous, too,
the readiness with which Mrs Joshee has
been able, not merely 10 understand col
loquial English, but to follow easily the
scientific Technology and teachings of the
medical schools"

NEWCASTLE FRUIT.GROWERS
Indorse Independent Movement at Sac
ramento,

The following letter was yesterday re-
ceiyed by r. D. Stephens from the mana
ger of the Newcastle Fruit growers and
Shippers Association, and is self-explan-
atory:
NEWCASTLE, Cal. March IS, 1856.
DEAR SIR: Having been informed of
your meeting of yesterday and of the prop
osition to form an organization composed
of Sacramento and other counties. | wish
to say that think it is Just the thing we
need. In my opinion low freights is the
principal object we wish to accomplish
and we should not so tie ourselves up that
we must pay tribute to such a monopoly
as the Fruit Union promises to become,
and which, if it succeeds under the new
order of things, must shut every other
buyer out of the State. If this Sacramento
Association gets fair start think that il
will receive the support of most of the
fruit-growers of this county, at least of
such, and there are many, that are not too
deep in the State Union We should like
to hear from you what it is proposed to do.
Mr.. Boggs and others will probably attend
your meeting next Tuesday. Yours, truly,
ED. 3. SILVA, Manager.
