Women at the Front.

Ii is worth while occasionally to take
account of the notable things which
women are doing, not more to confound
the skeptical than to comfort the true be-
levers in womanly capacity and endur-
ance under severe tests. One Of the most
noteworthy events in modern politics
was the final extirpation ofslavery in Bra
zil. This work was begun by Dom Pedro
in 1871, in his decree for the gradual abol
ition of slavery, but he was hampered in
the execution of his benevolent inten-
tions by successive Ministers. 1t remain
ed for his daughter, the Princess Isabella,
who since last July, in the absence of the
Emperor, has been at the head of
the Government as Regent, to give
the finishing stroke TO the Imperial
policy. She was not content to wait for
slavery to die out of the land by the slow
process of mortality When her Ministry
refused TO cooperate with her in an act
of immediate emancipation she cut short
the difficulty by thesimple method of dis
missing the Ministers and appointing 9TH
ers who were of her own mind. Then
the slaves were emancipated and the be-
nevolent desire of her father realized. If
a man had done this thing he would
have been lauded 10 the skies as bene-
factor of his race.
But the Princess Isabella of Brazil is
not a single example of covering capacity.
The Queen of England for fifty years has
yindicated the capacity of her six by
performing her responsible duties with
unfailing intelligence and dignity, In
Spain queen sorely beset with political
difficulties and national distraction is
bringing order out of confusion. Spanish
merchants, aided by the active exertions
of the Government, are trying to re-estab-
lish closer commercial relations with the
Spanish-speaking countries Of America.
The disposition to throw down the wall
of tariff restriction by which Spain has
protected herself in ruin and desolation
has ben strengthened, and it is well
known that the Queen Regent is the in
citing cause for these regenerative move
ments
Again, the only person in Germany
who seems TO be able to make headway
against the imperous will of Bismarck is
the Empress. She is the friend of the
prosecuted Jews, of her own downtrodden
sex, and of all liberal and enlightened
public policies.
To jump at once from the top to the
bottom of the social scale, a daring wom-
an in England has shown at once a nerve
power and a muscular power no man may
excel, in making a balloon ascension
while holding fast to a rope by her teeth.
And another woman has gone from De-
troit to London to charm all England by
her wonderful whistling. Clearly this is
the day of woman, her time of recognition
and of triumph.

Fitted Up For Sheridan.

wasHrxGrdy. June s7.--The Z. s.
steamer Swatara arrived at the Washing
ton navy yard ut noon to-day, from Nor
folk, for the purpose of taking General
sheridan to Nonquitt, Massachusetts,. Inn
mediately after he lie taken on board the
vessel will sail for Fortress Monroe,
where a supply of milk will be purchas-
ed. and then proceed along the coast to
New England.
1t was stated at army headquarters that
the General will probably be taken away
tomorrow. The arrangements had not
been concluded, and it was desired to
make the removal in as quiet way as
possible. as it was considered a very deli
cate operation. The use of the vessel was
rendered to General Sheridan verbally
by Secretary Whitney, who assured the
physicians that everything possible
would be done for the patients comfort.
The Galena was the vessel selected for
the service. but she mad left for New York
before word could be sent to her COM
mander. Commander MCGOWAN, of the
Swatara, was then notified to sail for
Washington.
General Sheridan will be accompanied
by Mrs. Sheridan, Colonel Sheridan, Doc
tors 0'Reilly and Yarrow and trained
nurse. Every arrangement has been
made for the care and comfort Of the dis
tinguished patient, and it is expected
that he will derive great benefit from the
trip. One of the Generals friends, in
speaking of the proposed trip this morn
ing, said:
"The General is good sailor and was
never seasick in his life. He has taken
several trips in the United States steamer
Galena and has become quite attached
TO that vessel and its officers. He wanted
to have her for this trip, but she was out
at sea and could not be secured in time.
The Swatara is vessel of the same type
and class. and as she has has just been
OUT lOT u Il tAttiicht Noh-
dition. Her captain, Commander Nc
Gowan, il an accomplished officer, and is
a personal friend of the Generals. The
trip to Nonquitt viii be made in three
days, and with few, if any, stops after
leaving the navy yard. 1t may be neces-
sary to stop at Fortress Monroe for milk,
but doubt it. predict that the Gen
eral will pick up rapidly from the time
he begins TO sniff the invigorating sea air
at the mouth of the river. The naval
people have every convenience for trans
porting inyalids, and will adopt the same
measures with General Sheridan that
they would employ in the case of an Off
Ger with a broken lee"
Colonel kellogg, of General Sheridan's
staff, will meet the party on their arrival
at Nonquitt. He will take the Boston
train for that place tomorrow and COM
plete the arrangements for the Generals
reception. Colonel kellogg will take the
Generals four children with him, and
also Mrs Kellogg and his own family.

Character of the Cowboy.


There is no eight hour law in cowboy
land; during roundup time we often
count ourselves lucky if We get off with
much less than sixteen hours, but the
work is done in the saddle, and the men
are spurred on all the time by the desire
TO outdo one another in feats of daring
and skillful horsemanship. There is very
little quarreling or fighting; and though
the fun often takes the form of rather
rough horse play, yet the practice Of car
rying dangerous weapons makes cow
boys show far more rough courtesy to
each other and far less rudeness to
strangers than is the case among, for in
stance, eastern miners, or even lumber
men. When quarrel may very proba-
bly, result fatally, man thinks twice be-
fore going into il; warlike people or
classes always treat one another with
certain amount of consideration and
politeness.
The moral tone of COW camp, indeed,
is rather high than otherwise. Mean
ness, cowardice and dishonesty are not
tolerated. There is high regard for
truthfulness and keeping ones word, in
tense contempt for any kind of hypocri.
sy, and hearty dislike for man who
shirks his work. Many of the men gam
bic and drink, but many do neither
and the conversation is not worse than
in most bodies composed Of male human
beings. A cowboy will not submit tame
ly to an insult, and is very ready to
avenge his own wrongs; nor has he an
over-wrought fear of shedding blood. He
possesses, in fact, few Of the emasculated,
milk and water moralities admired by
the pseudo piilanthropists; but he does
possess to a very high degree, the stern,
manly qualities that are so valuable to a
nation.

the owner was watching from an upper

the Confederates, who was German,

But She Loved Him all the

A Newport clergyman tells thus Of a
recent marriage which he performed
"The parties were foreigners, both good
looking and well dressed and appearing.
The groom presented his license, and,
this being correct in all particulars, the
clergyman began to read the service.
The groom was befttingly solemn for the
occasion, but on the face of the bride was
a smile, which broke into laughter before
the ceremony was half completed. The
clergyman stopped and looked rather Sc
we're. The groom, too, was troubled, and
saw that some explanation was necessary.
He looked at his bride helplessly mo-
ment and then said: She understand
