An old Pullman car conductor lately said
that women would make better conductors
than men He thinks there is no part Of
the work they cannot satisfactorily per
form, and very large proportion of the
people who travel in the Pullman cars being
women, it would be better to have women
as conductors. Some people will probably
protest against this. Women have alre dy
superseded men in numerous pursuits, and
ii halt is not called the probability is that
the men viii have to remain at home and
attend to domestic duties while their wives

The stage is coming to be looked upon as
the road TO brilliant marriages, Miss Edith
Kingdom, it will be remembered, left the
stage to become the daughter-in-law of Jay
Gould, and Miss Annie Robe married a
young man named Griswold, VINO has an
income of S2O,Oc0 a year and is connected
with well known family. Mrs Virginia
Drehcr is now announced to be engaged to
a wealthy and aristocratic gentleman. She
is a widow, and formerly lived in Louisville,
Ky. There is no reason why these mar
riages should cause young girls to rush upon
the stage. The generality of actresses will
probably continue to find life hard battle.

A BLIND MERCHANT.
He is a Newsdealer and Makes Change
Rapidly and Correctly.
Fronl "a PhiEodelphtn Press.

From the PHILADELPHIA Press.
There is blind newsdealer in this city whose
stand has been for many years near Sixth on
Chestnut street. and whose sense of touch is so
acute that he can not only make change rapidly
and accurately, but can detect counterfeit
coin or note at once. He always allows his Gus
toners to select their paper or magazine from
the piles IN front of him themselves, and takes
great pride in naming correctly the denomina-
ton of the money he gives in change. Occa-
slonally several men approach him at the same
time and endeavor to confuse him, but without
success. Each receives his correct change, and
by no chance does he give the right amount to
the wrong man
The blind man claims to be able to detect the
difference in one, two and five-dollar bills, and
says that in nine years only SO 50 in counterfeit
money has been passed to him without his dis
covering it.. His sense of hearing is also won
derfully correct and he greets each of his regu-
lar customers by name when they ask for their
morning or afternoon paper,

Prof Able, who is in charge of the signal
service Office this month, has beer trying to
explain why the country was not informed
in advance of last weeks blizz I'd. He
says: THE conditions during this storm
were peculiar. On Friday we could see the
formation of two storms-one on the north
ern lakes and one in Georgia-with winds
coming from the west. No one could tell
which of those two centers would reach
this portion of the country first, but from
the direction of the wind at the time no one
could reasonably have supposed that the
southern storm, which was the smaller.
would amount to the terrific disturbance
into which it developed. The cause of the
difficulty was the abundance of air pouring
in from the sea, and this was the element
that fooled us. Only once before. back in
1872, was the service so crippled as to its re-
ports, but even then we did not fail to cover
nearly all the possible predictions" This l.
very comforting to people who started for
Now York, Boston and Philadelphia in ad
vance of the storm.

Mormonism in the South.

Mormon elders are still industrlously
working in some of the Southern States to
make women converts, notwithstanding
the efforts that are made to exclude them
The abandonment of work in one section is
followe by renewed efforts in another,
and every now and then a squad of con-
verts is gathered at Chattanooga and sent
to Utah.
Before the war a few Mormon mis-
sionaries began their PROSECUTING work in
the South, but they did not make much
progress Soon after the war they resumed
it, but in spasmodic way, and it was not
until ten or twelve years ago that they
began to push it vigorously and systemati-
cally. Headquarters were established at
Chattanooga with Elder John Morgan in
charge, and emissaries sent into various
sections of Tennessee and North Carolina,
where numbers of supplemented people
were induced to embrace Mormonism.
Finally the more intelligent citizens drove
the elders out Of these communities, and
North Georgia was chosen by Elder Morgan
as missionary ground 1t was not very
long before the people there were aroused to
opposition, and again the elders summarily
left, but not before they had gained a con-
siderable number of converts.
Northeast Alabama was then selected,
and in the counties of Clay, Cleburne and
Randolph the elders have succeeded in es-
tablishing their largest mission. For this
territory John Mootry, who moved to Utah
from Randolph county about twenty years
ago and finally became an elder. and six
other elders were chosen. Their success has
been such as TO cause alarm. When driven
from other sections the missionaries did not
resent the rough treatment they received,
but they have become so strong in that Sec
ton that they defy the better classes of peo-
pie to force them to leave.
Though driven out of the other States
they have not abandoned them. They still
select their territory and work 1t until
forced to leave. There is no law to prevent
them from preaching Mormonism.
The people of any community in order &c
get rid of them have TO resort to harsh and
unlawful mears. This they have done sew.

with fatal results.
