With far less technical training than q
man requires. woman becomes the
keenest and most accurate Of business
managers, excelling particularly in
those departments which make the Sc
verest demands upon an intuitive judg.
ment. All over Great Britain the larg-
est and best hotels are now managed by
women. in Berlin, Dresden. Leipsic.
Madgeburg. Zurich. and in many other
greet cities of the continent-especially
in Paris-great 'magasins' and shops
can be found, admirably directed by
women IN all details; and in New York
City the banker and capitalist will tell
you of sound and conservative judges OF
business questions and enterprises
among women of refinement, social
standing and domestic tastes"
To this. the unqualified testimony OF
an expert, let me. as woman OF affairs
and domestic tastes" add that after
years given to calm and careful study
of the subject, hold and practice the
belief in the capacity of my sex to un-
derstand business" as well as men can.
Furthermore. that good woman's
sense of honesty and honor in financial
matters is-ceteris paribus-0f finer
order and nicer quality than good
mans. She will 60 hungry rather than
defraud the butcher and baker. stick
a taper in bottle and set it on her par
lor table sooner than order from the
candlestick maker what she has no
prospect of paying for. Debt is to her
disgrace; the thought of compromise
with creditors on twenty-five cents on q
dollar when she owes one hundred is a
frightful calamity.
She abOunds in charities to degree
that causes her making brother
to shudder, yet discriminates in the
choice of objects more wisely than he,
who confesses this in the consignment
to her of such as demand judicious in
vestigation and personal inquiry. In
tuition gives her much help here; pa
thence with details and native tact give
more.
We ask, then. of husbands and fathers
only fair play. Let Our Girl be in
structed from early childhood with
stated sums Of money, to be managed
altogether by and for herself. As she
grows older let these be set to her &C.
count in bank. and cover her personal
expenses of clothing, ornaments. brio
a-brac. books. etc. The mother may
counsel and warn to save her from dis
aster, but she must trust her own dis
erection for the most part. A slip or
two, or even a stunning fall, will work
out future good for her. Deposit. draft
and discount will cease to be enigmas to
her, and the worth of money become
fact she will never forget. l pledge
my judgment for the assertion that she
will never overdraw her account more
than once, if then.
The wife thus trained will bring 9TH
err capital to her husband with personal
charms and. possibly, fortune. He will
gain business partner, safe. clever.
clear-sighted-the only one the world
affords whose interests will be absolute
ly identical with and inseparable from
his own.-1Nay1on Harland, n. 7. Star.

BURLEsoN, TEX, Nov. 4 Last night at
sn early hour our streets we're filed with
people from the surrounding country to
hear Hon. S. C. Paddleford Of Cleburre
discuss the political issues of the day.
Ou- little church house was soon filed,
aud about 1880 Mr.. Sam Foster OF the
Union Labor party, being present. WAS
Introduced and spoke Tor an hour. Judg-
iug from his speech he seemed TO think
there was but one question before the
people worthy OF attention, to-
wit, the banking question.
He blamed the Democrats for
the rechsrtering of the national banks,
but failed to tell us how the Greerbackers
voted on this q1estiJ i'm. The most IN
portant question now bsfore the people,
the tariff quet t on, was ignored alto
gether by Mr.. Foster. Altogether his
speech was very weak and not calculated
to make any votes.
He WIS followed by Mr. Il. P. BroSr
of Cleburne In roueirg Democratic
speech, which was loudly cheered f:5m
beginning to end. Mr.. SzoRn took up
the Union Labor platform plank by PLANK,
and showed up lis Inconsistencies
and absurdl:ies, and demonstrated
that Il the principles therein
advocated were in force the country
would be bsnksupted. NJ. Brown is 2
very foJci:le and fluent epeakeY, ana nis
spec ca WAS well received.
Mr.. Foster was allotted time 20 reply 90
hr. Brown. Like M. Vasch, candidate
tor Representative u tha Union Lshcr
party, he does rot seam to be WEI pleased
with the platform upon which he processes
TO stand. Some OF the pl2nks ne rejects
entirely, particularly the plank f.yoring
the pensioning Of ell honorably dis-
charged soldiers and sailors.
Mr.. PaddlefoTd, She orator CT the day,
then followed in : mastery speech CT CT
hour, IN which he held his hearers spell
bound. He reviewed the history CT the
Democratic party from is foundation
down to the present time, and showed
ths. Il hss ever been the true friend Of
the laboring people. His speech was
frequently spplauded, showing that o
lsrge Ii, ,rity OF the audience were in
sympathy with the speaker On all the
great questions CT the dsy.
