Lucrative Industries of the CAPITAL.

Lucrative Industries of the Capital.
There are two rev and very lucrative in
dustries which have sprung up in Washing
ton lately. I don't know whether they exist
elsewhere or not, but as both are cheap and
convenient you might like to hear Of them.
The most important is the itinerant tinker
Housekeepers make a contract with the
tinker" to mend furniture, repair locks, re-
place cement in stone steps, and general
care of things which in a house frequently
get out of order and are neglected for time
because they cannot be attended to promptly.
Five dollars year is paid for the tinker's
services; of course if he has to furnish mate
rails the cost is added to his professional SER
vices. Think Of the convenience Of having a
man who is competent call and inquire if
anything is out OF order. 1t saves sending
chair OF table to the cabinet shop for a roller
or a broken off carving. The lock which is
stubborn is made to be easily opened. the
door hinge which creaks is fabricated, and
even broken china is mended without any
serious bother. In well built houses the
tinker is only paid So year, as there is not
much to do
Two ladies, in reduced circumstances, are
engaged to go to houses where troublesome
lamps are used instead of gas, and to daily
clean, trim and care for them. All house
keepers find this work disagreeable, and SER
wants cannot be trusted for the work. and
shades and chimneys are frequently broken:
and when the lamps are lighted they smoke,
because they have not been intelligently
handled. The same persons who attend to
the lamps will dust the parlors and keep all
the bric-a-brac clean. These services enable
the housekeeper to dispense with one servant,
generally stupid, unreliable girl, who
leaves by the time she has learned to be
useful, and the mistress has all the trouble of
teaching another who is equally inlconpe-
tent. By availing herself of the services
offered the mistress of the mansion is relieved
of the necessity of doing the work herself.
Now, what more unobjectionable employ
ment could woman in need of work ask for
than such as l have mentioneds Besides.
there is a world of possibilities in this sort OF
work, which might lead to the enlargement
of the duties and supply long felt want

WOMAN IN JOURNALISM.

Every Newspaper and Press Agency Load
ed Down with Manuscript at Low Prices.
When fifty women apply for every opening
on tine press as contributor, correspondent or
department editor; when every paying news
paper and press agency is loaded down with
manuscript, what follows. The best known
wrirers-wo,nen whose wit. experience and
knowledge of society best fits them for their
work-complain that they cannot receive
third of the prices paid for articles in 1850.
One Of the three foremost women on the
newspapers today, a woman whose wealth
makes it remarkable that she should be in
that gallery at all, was surprised when the
equally wealthy proprietor of an old city
daily desired her to write for five dollars a
letter, because he had 80 many applications
from women whose work compared with her
own who were glad to work at that rate"
She took the place presumably at q compro-
mise rate
why shonld pay your prices!" the editor
md proprietor of the oldest Boston society
paper said to a well trained writer. II run
newspapers to make money, and there are
ony number of women on Beacon street and
Back Bay glad to send me work at So a col
umn to pay for their gloves, and plenty of
young lawyers on Court street willing to do
the same to get something TO eat" If this is
what Harvard and the higher education pre-
pares for us all, fear we will come to think
as contemptuously of clerks and students as
any strong handed baron of the middle ages.

Eolus, dreaming OF night in spring,
Murmured melody 50 passing sweet
That echo, hushd to hear, could not repeat
Bur one frail instrument hung quivering,
And caught the music's breath in every string.
There holding it until the harp should meet.
Touch gentle as the night winds kiss, to cheat
Enchartment, and the voice from sluInbsr bring
Thine, lady, is that magic. The lost strain,
As to the breath OF Nav perfumed and bland,
Awakens to the passing Of thy hand,
And with dying sweetness throbs again.
SO neve-rlore can dulcet n:url,urs move
Tue source of tears the ecstasy Of love.
