Employment for Women.

From the 81. Paul GIode.
The agitation again of the question of
providing employment for the great num-
Der of woraen who are obliged To seek
their own living, and the occurrence at
the same time of the periodical complaint
about the difficulty OF securing, i'll the
West particularly, capable domestic ser
vice, calls attention to a significant con-
uectiou between the two facts. While
there are hundreds of women looking
for the means OF making a livelihood,
there are at the same time hundreds of
employers looking for competent assls-
tants i'll the conduct of their household
affairs. Ii peculiar notions of false price
did not prevent most of these unem-
ployed women from accepting position
as housemaids, cooks, housekeepers and
so on throughout the range of domestic
service, the cause for complaint concern
ing servant girls would soon disappear.
Instead, however, of accepting position
which would insure her at least con-
Portable living and home, the modern
girl prefers to occupy some petty clerk
ship which barely affords her ar incou
sufficient to keep body and soul together,
overcome with the idea that such en-
ployment is more respectable than dc
nestle service. Frequently it leads to a
state of affairs just the contrary. No la
Dor is degrading, and there is every pos
sibility that the self respecting girl, wi o
elves out" will be more c6ntented al d
happy as housemaid than as a factory
hand or ribbon seller. The experimei
is at least worth trying, and she will
lose nothing by it. A change from Il e
existing order of things is certainly mu, h
to be desired.

The EPISCOPAL CONVENTION.
Two Important Questions to Come up in the
TriennItl Church Council.

| Two Important Questions tn Come up in the
| TrIennIai Church Council.
The general convention of the Profess
tant Episcopal church, which will meet
! in Chicago, the first Wednesday in Octo-
Der, is just now the subject of much in
/ terest among the clergy and laity of that
denomination, and the church papers are
handling vigorously the questions that
are likely to come before the body. The
| convention meets every three years. It's
last meeting was held i'll Philadelphia.
1t is composed of all the bishops OF the
| United States and eight delegates from
each diocese. Bishop Lee, of Delaware,
presides over the house of bishops, which
sits with closed doors, and the delegates
of the lower house elect their own pre-
siding officer. The diocesan delegates are
half clergymen and half laymen. Eiston
diocese will be represented by Rev. I. II.

ton; VIM. ). Walker, of Chestertown;
DR.. Il. G. Mackali, of E,Aton; George Il.
Goldsborough, of Talbot
| The two most important matters to
come up before the convention are the
revision Of the prayer book and the crea-
ton of clerical court of appeals. Both
OF them will excite great deal of dis
| cussion. The revision of the prayer book
is in the hands of a committee. and while
| it was not allowed them TO infringe upon
the doctrine in any change they might
| make, they have added a number of
prayers for special cases, shortening the
service in some places and have al
together made quite au extensive change.
This was done at the suggestion of MANY
of the adherents of the church who con-
tended that the liturgy was not full or
elastic enough for all purposes, and who
wanted 70 make the book conform to the
special needs and exigencies of the times.
On the other hand there is very large
class which might be termed the conser
vative party, who revere the old book as
it is, and contend that there is no need
of change. They claim the general pc
titions ale ample enough TO cover all
special cases without the Introduction of
new prayers.
The clerical court of appeals which is
spoken of is intended to dispose of cases
that come from the diocesan ecclesiasti-
cal courts. Just now clergyman may
be tried by the ecclesiastical court of his
diocese, aud the decision Is final. 1t is
proposed to give him the benefit of All ap-
peal and to have his case heard by
court representing the country at large.
This question too will excite a great deal
of discussion, and it is by no means Gel
tain that the court will be established.

through the fact that it has been also used upon

by the president OF the Institute and several OF
the directors to use this paint when the appropr-
alton was made. He was at hrst diAincned to

that he did not believe in ready mixed paints
His opposition arose from the fact that he had
perenced the worthleSsness OF many articles put
upon the market under the name OF ready linked
paints some OF which were limitations of the ar
tce suggested by the Institute officials and none
OF which were satisfactory to gentleman so
thoroughly capable OF Judging the excellence OF

pills who also came to study English was Jeanne
RouzaGd, and warm friendship soon sprung up
between the French and Swedish girls Later
on Mile. Rouzaud invited Christine to her house,
and 1t was there that the singer made the ac-
quaintance with the young man who subsequent
ly became her husband. The young man talked
so much about Mile. Nilsson that one day his
father exclaimed:
mon Dieul TO hear you go one would
suppose you intend to marry the girl!S
WELL monsieur that is precisely what am
going to do,n retorted the son.
Thereupon there was a quarrel and Auguste
left the paternal roof forever He had thirty
thousand francs which his mother left him, and
with this sum he commenced TO speculate on the
Bourse Then Nilsson made her Partisan debut
and her rapid success caused him to hesitate
about marrying her until his fortune should be
more In accordance with the large income that
she earning. The Franco German war
drove Nilsson away from Paris and while she
was IN America raking in the greenbacks and
buying land in Peoria he was mounting guard on
the Notifications of capital into which sles
Allemands threatened to burst any moment.
The war over, the lovers met again in London,
and were married at Westminster Abbey Ae-
cordlng to their marriage contract the fortune
OF the wife was TO remain at her own absolute
disposal, as were also all her future earnings,
and it was expressly stipulated that the husband
shonld never have any claim to exercise any
control over his wife's private affairs. The fol-
lowing year Nilsson returned to the United
States and her husband remained in Paris TO
carry on his stock operations. Later. however.
he gave up the Bourse. and during several
years accompanied his wife on all her profes
sional tours as her agent or representative.
Becoming dissatisfied with this position he
finally asked her to set him up in business. and
she purchased for him share in the house OF
NJ Molusson, member of the Board of Brokers.
He prospered for few years. then in January,
1882, he became insane, and died within month
after in private mad house, Rue Picpus in
which be had been placed for safety and medical
care. His death was quite a shock to Nine.

has offered her, with the consent Of his Queen,
