Not long since the most popular of
American lovelists wrote story whose
theme was the fortunes of an heiress
thrown on her own support. At nearly
the same time the same subject was
treated by woman in the pages of a
popular magazine for youth. But while
under Miss Phelps hands, ga brave
girl after preliminary struggle as
teacher and telegraph operator, wins
fame and fortune in about two years by
canning fruit, the other heroine is al
lowed no such luck. And the pity Of it
is, that, in ordinary observation and ex-
perience, Helen Hardness failure is far
truer to life than brave girls phenom-
email success. They might almost illus
trate, indeed, the difference between fic-
ton and fact, between sentiment and
common sense. Both were excellent in
intention; but "a Woman's Reason

course, and what need of trade for
prospective wives and mothers? But
marriage may not end the question, since
there is no sadder sight than the widow,
or worse than widow, counting on her
fingers her slender resources, with no
discipline or experience in anything,
and often with no more idea of values,
of the management of small funds, than
the children she is trying to support.
She may have studied higher mathemat-
les she never learned practical appli-
cation in accounts, banking, and gener-
al business. She is handicapped at the
beginning of the struggle, and is often
the resigned victim of her nearest ad-
wiser, without knowing if his counsel be
selfish or not.
Ina country where wealth is so unsta-
bic as in ours, il seems truism to rec
ommend to all women some definite
training toward self-support. But how
ever the fathers may regard that, there
is a general business discipline which is
every girls right. Married or single,
rich or poor, it will not be lost, since it
will save her from that abject depend
enCe on father or husband in which too
many women live, and which renders
them so helpless when Providence re-
moves tine bread-winner. And surely if
education be the symmetrical develop
ment of the whole mind, it must include
these practical arts. The higher cult
ure which we have so long wanted is
ours now; but it is noteworthy that as
the girls flock to the colleges, their broth
ers seem leaving, their new watchword
being "a practical training" The COL
lege training must not rob our girls of
their share in this. In sense, indeed
every step toward broader culture is
also step toward this discipline. 1t is a
drill to more thorough work, to profess
slonal in opposition to amateur effort in
whatever undertaken an opening to a
wider and truer world of thought and
action. But it needs to be rounded and
completed by more definite knowledge
OF that world of business which is usually
such mystery to women.
Now every man expects, as matter
OF course, that his son shall grow up into
certain familiarity with business ways.
In most families the fact that some dav
John must earn his living is perpetual
spur toward this knowledge. And if he
is rich, all the more need for his getting

Barlow Mounds.

From the CartersriHe (Ga.) Amsricdn.
80 much has been written concerning
tn, mounds in our county that many of
our readers are familiar with them and
thgir location. They have attracted much
attention, and a considerable amount OF
speculation has been INDUCED in concern
lnG HEM.
As to their origin, our information is
purely negative. We know that we did
nat build them, and the traditions handed
down to us by the Indians inform us that
they did not build them. Further than
tbs we know comparatively little about
item.
These mounds are located on the north
SIDE of the Et0wah river. in Barlow coun-
~, being three in number. The largest
mound is some 20 feet high and measures
around it's base some LOO feet. The 9TH
trs are much smaller-not more than one
fifth as large as the largest.
Many curious relics have been gathered
rom and around them for many years
past. Among them are images Of several
the makers bowed down and rendered
rites.
Pipes of various models, carved from
stone and made of clay. Various speci-
mems of pottery, and manp other curious
things. These images are rather remark
able pieces of statuarv, showing consider
able skill in carving stone. The pipes used
there are much on the same pattern as the
modern smoker uses. The thin pottery
shows much skill and evidences some
knowledge OF dyes. The writer has seen
a pieceof some vessel which appeared
finely glazed and was ola fine red color on
the surfce much different from the body
of the Material.
The recent overflow Ofthe Etowah river
has brought to light much more than ever
before. t-'Hn
Among ether things scattered upon the
ground about the mounds are quantities
OF human pnes, and in one place was
exposed a vault from which the eyeless

ing in size from a dime to a dollar. though
somewhat thicker. These are scattered
all over The ground. A friend of ours
from Atlanta who, viewing the mound and
sights, innOcently suggested that the boys
were indulging in a gam of short cards,
and when run in by the police scattered
them far and wide in their efforts TO evade
the vigilant officers.
In one of the vaults was found a small
piece of mating made of cane and exact
ly similar to a olosely-WOven chair bot
ton. Upon this Mating were small pieces
of copper as lons as a mans finger anC
almost as wide upon which the skull O.

Love at Orlando.


From an OyIando (FIqJ Special.
The social world of this city is stirred
to its lowest foundations by the romantic
elOpement and wedding which occurred
here. Miss Matte b. Ormsby, a very
popular young lady, had u number of ex-
cellent suitOrs. Each sutton thought him
self the favored one until few days since
it was announced that Miss Matte and
Mr.. - would be married at the church
on Tuesday afternoon at 4 O'Clock. The
church had been beautifully decorated
and many costly presents received by the
prospective bride, aud all were patiently
awaiting the approach Of the happy hour.
This announcement chilled the ardOr
of all but viii A. White, a young man of
Marshallville, Ga. Feeling that faint
heart never won fair lady," he hoped on
and perseVered. On Monday night, when
all Orlando was g%ossipping over the APP
preaching %nuptials, and sympatnizIng
with the defeated contestants, he again
made a final and earnest appeal, and Miss
Matte surrendered. An elOpement was
speedily arranged, license procured, and
at 1 O'Clock Tuesday morning the gal
liant Georgian and Miss Matte b.
Ormsby stood side by side in the parlOr OF
the hotel and were made man and wife.
A cyclone or an earthquake could not
have created greater SUI prise than this
romantic denouement of a love story.
