at that time OF being marvel IN tine way
of pOlitico- economic knowledge. III was sara
that she was as well yersed in tariff mat
ters as her venerable father, while In the
especial matter of iron interests she couio
give points to Pittsburg manufacturer.
The young girls In society were Just ntI'e
afraid of her; young men hardly felt at ease
in her presence, and old Legislators were very
careful about statistics when talking 10 ner.
Yet wilhal, she was liked By everyone. one
never displayed the results OF her studies; In

one would assocl ate any m asculine tendencies.
Nor was she so absorbed in her studies thaC
she neglected feminine accomplishments:
She was an excellent musician. graceful

of ner own sge, and then within five minutes
afterward be discussing remedies Tor laDor
troubles with some venerable friend OF her
fathers. About four years ago she made up
her mind to go to Germany to continue ner
economic studies, and at the same time to OBJ
tries. she entered the nniyersity at Heldel-
berg, and was soon recognized as the most
