The Success of One Young Woman In

The Success of One Young Woman in q
New Line OF business - A Suggestive
Sketch.
What may be accomplished by a
young woman "borcd 10 death by
her village life. and anxious for some
thing TO make it endurable, Miss
Mary Z. Lapham, of Worthwhile, Mich,
shows.
With indulgent parents, able and
glad to crafty every wish, this young
lady might have settled down TO a luxu-
rious society existence, without a caro-
beyond those OF her own home. That
she did not do so proves her sufficiently
unlike the ordinary specimen OF girl
hood to make her experience worthy TO
be recorded. Mr.. Lapham, whose bust
ness life was in Detroit, owned bank
in Worthwhile, which was left to tho
charge of the cashier. Into this bank
Mr.. Lapham's daughter went, and there
showed herself so well adapted 10 the
work, that in a few weeks the old
cashier was discharged 10 give place TO
her. Soon two other young women,
one graduate of Ann Arbor Univors-
ity. the other an ex-distributing clerk
OF the Worthwhile post-ofiice, were taken
in as assistants, and now for seven
years these three have done the entire
work. Under Miss Lapham's manage
ment, the business OF the bank has
doubled itself, owing partly, however.
TO the increasing business of the town.
Mr.. Lapham, who remains the nominal
head places all confidence in his young
bankers, with cause, as do the people
of Worthwhile. In proof of this latter
statement we may say that at time
when there was talk OF establishing a
National Bank, Miss Lapham was in
vited, in case of the plan being carried
out, to assume the duties OF cashier
in it.
She can tell many amusing incidents
where her masculine chirography and
her simple signature, NJ. +. Laphan,
have concealed the fact of her sex in BUSH
ness transactions with strangers, and
of the surprise exhibited when it be-
came known.
This woman, still under thirty, feel
ing the satisfaction of having so young
achieved success in her attempted work,
desires to see little more OF the world,
and with means at command and we'll
tried assistants to carry on her business,
she is leaving it for travel and study,
taking her place at the books only that
her associates may have rest and
change.
Miss Lapham earnestly recommends
banking to women. 1t is pleasant, easy
and profitable, pre-eminently Gladly

DIVORCE IN CHINA.


A Chinese husband may divorce his
wife for number of causes-incom-
patibility, theft, drunkenness, dis
obedience, adultery or failure in duties
towards husband or his parents. Tho
process is very simple. The husband
calls together his relatives and presents
the case to them in the presence of his
wife. The company vote on the ques-
ton. II the ground for divorce is sufii-
cient in their eyes the man and woman
sign papers of separation by dipping
their fingers in ink and making mark
at the foot of the agreement.
II the divorced wife has parents or
near relatives she goes and lives with
them; if not, she is sold by the husband
to sort OF matrimonial agent, who
finds for her another husband or resells
her TO the keepers Of low houses. A
second or third wife is sometimes SIM
ply turned into the street by her
husband without formal process OF
divorce.
Adultery, or Che suspicion of marital
unfaithfulness, IL the strongest ground
for divorce. A husband does not al
ways wait to have the question decided,
but takes the law into his own hands
and beats his wife TO death. When he
takes her in hagrante deiictu the law
gives him the right TO kill both her and
her paramour. But he must kill BOTH
il is murder to put one to death and let
the other go free. Among the river
people of Canton the pair are some
times tied together and thrown into the
water. Sometimes the paramour buys
the husband Of In such a case the
gallant goes into Punishment, and the
wife is often sold as a slave.
A wife can not bring claim for divorce
against her husband. II, however, when
she is with child he deserts her, and re-
mains away for three years or more, she
is at liberty 10 marry again. But II he
is absent on affairs OF State or business
twenty or even thirty years the mar
rage still holds. and II a wife has in the
meantime married again, she is put to
death by strangulation upon her first
husbands return.-N Y. Graphic.

Woman As Reformer.

Perhaps the most notable feature OF
woman's work as rcformcr is her sys-
tematic method. This is what was least
expected. But it is hardly too much to
say that her great temperance move
mcnt is the best controlled and most
systematic effort at reform that the
world has yet seen. And it may also
be said that this and other reform move
ments and the great missionary enter
prises are bringing into view moro
notable class OF women than has ever
before crowned the generations. The
mastery management, the eloquence,
earnestness. faith and power which they
have brought to their work mark new
era in the history OF reform. Rec. J. Il.

all the bears in front of him, at the
same time beating steady retreat, with
the bears pressing him closely. When
his rifle exhausted its first sixteen loads
ne could only find time TO slip one cart

thls process did bear succeed in rear
ing on its hind portions and grapple
with Its human antagonist, and as many
times did the faithful dog assail the
bear, and succeed in diverting its at
tentlon till its master could reload his
gun and send bullet into the shaggy
orute's body. At length the bears be-
gan TO thin out and lag behind, and
finally gave up the contest altogether,
allowing Wallace to make good his es-
cape. Save few bruises and scratches
about his body, and the almost entire
demolition of his clothes, Mr.. Wallace
was uninjured, though his escape, in
deed, was most miraculous one. and
surprise to himself. He attributes his
escape to the faithful old dog.
After quitting the contest he at once
proceeded TO his cabin, meeting on the
way his companion, who was also bend
ing his steps in that direction, and who,
as he expressed il, "had not seen a
bear. either cinnamon, silver tip or
grizzly, the hull blessed day" Wallace
related his adventure TO him, and they
both decided to 90 to the cabin for re-
endorsements, and go back and ''clean
the hull outfit OUT
AT the cabin Wallace related TO his
comrades, who gathered TO hear his
tale, his exciting contest They were
somewhat inclined at first TO disbelieve
his statement, but when he showed
them his torn clothes and bruised body,
and the condition VI the poor dog, that,
by the way, was terribly lacerated,
they believed him. 1t was decided
that several well-armed men should
proceed TO the scene Of the battle with
the bears with wagon, and secure the
slaughtered ones, and dispose Of what
others that might be seen. When they
arrived at the scene OF the contest
there was not a single live bear TO be
seen any place, but at different places,
scattered along line OF hundred
yards or more-showing the length of
ground covered in the fearful contest
were seven dead bears, all silver-tips.
1t is supposed that Wallace wounded
twice as many as he killed, for the
whole place presented sight similar
TO slaughter-pen, and in many of the
tracks that led from the scene was
trail Of blood. Seven bears killed and
fourteen wounded is the record, which
is generally conceded among the noted
Nimrods Of this section OF the country
as the greatest single-handed bear
Strengthening match yet accomplished

gle lasted something like half an

The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1888-01-26

The Vinton Record announces, au-
thoritatiyely, Mr. FL. W. Coultrap as
candidate for Common Pleas Judge, to
succeed Judge Trip. This announce
ment was made with the understand
ing that Judge Tripp will not be a
candidate for denomination. Should
Judge Tripp be candidate, he would
perhaps have no difficulty in being re-
nominated. If he is not, Jackson
County should not present a candidate,
from the fact that this County may be
successful in securing the nomination
Of Hon. II. S. Bundy for Congress.
Jacks on County thus far has no cam
didate beyond the present Judge.
Let the Republicans Of Jackson Coun-
ty do sensible work in conventions,
and secure nominations Of which the
party and the people will not be
ashamed. Other counties may present
good candidates. But Jackson County
should strike for Congressman, pre-
senting no candidate for Judge
unless, as we said before, Judge Trip
desires to run again.

It seems to us that this, from New
York, looks a little bit like forcing
things:
"Post Commander Whalen and
Quartermaster Bowling, of G.. A. r.
Post 582, were arrested to-day while
in charge Of e.. A. R. deputation es-
corting the body Of a comrade to the
cemetery.
The funeral proceeded without them,
while crowd Of 1000 persons fol-
lowed the prisoners to the station
house, where they gave bonds to an
swer to a charge of parading with
music without a permit. Mr.. Bowling
is an Alderman"
1t would be reasonable to assume
that any procession bearing dead
soldier would be well received at the
hands Of the New York Democracy.
But the miserable display Of two hum
dred policemen charging upon a fu-
neral procession is not pleasant one
to contemplate.

Brown" appeared upon the rolls Of
this State. The reply was that there
was such pensioner at Massieville,
Ross County. Hyde applied to the
authorities at GAINESVILLE, and last week
the Sheriff Of Muskingum County,
and the Chief of Police at GAINESVILLE,
came to Ross County and arrested
him. Cassiboon was living in a
wretched hovel, with his third wife
and three children, is about seventy
years old, half blind, and altogether
the scene Of the arrest is said to have
been such that the officers were
ashamed to have attention called to
their prisoner and their work. Cassi-
boon is drawing twenty-four dollars a
month pension, yet his hovel is said
to be an appalling picture of squalor.
Men naturally cry out that justice
shall be done, but there is certainly
that about this case which appeals
strongly to sympathy. To drag the
old. blind, wounded soldier from his
already miserable existence and thrust
him into prison, looks good deal like
robbing the grave to vindicate the
majesty of the law. But he will per-
haps have better home in the Peni-
tentiary, and his family have better
home in the Infrmary, than any of
them have enjoyed for years And
then, Dick Cassiboon need not have
killed William HYDE.
