A Field for Women.

II don't see why a smart and strong
woman or better still, two of them,
could not make a good living by up
holstering,n said a worried housewife
in the city the other day. Here |
have a lot of furniture that has seen
it's best days, the coverings are worn
and faded, but the springs and frame
work are yet good and sound. If l
sent it out to a regular upholsterer
the cost of new material and his work
manship will be more than | can well
afford. If | sell them to a second hand
dealer, that will be little better than
giving them away. / could 0
them myself at little cost and with
good effect if | had the time and a
little more strength.
Now, if | only knew where to send
for a strong, handy woman to come to
the house and make the most of the
material / have, cutting it out under
my eye and working according to my
directions, l would send for her at
once. The result would be that the
work would be finished much more
quickly than if | sent the furniture
away. l would have the use of it all
the time, my material would be
| economically cut, and / could afford
to pay her good wages and yet spend
less than in any other way.-NeaC

They Slept in a Furniture Wagon.

Charles Smith, aged twelve years, of
No. 100 Montgomery street, and Robert
Sherry, a year older, of Henderson street,
were a~rraigned before Justice Stilsing
this morning for vagrancy. Policeman
Phelan found them asleep in a furniture
van on Henderson street last night.
Smiths father appeared and said that his
boy was incorrigible. He steals money
and runs away from home. Sherry was
shown to be a fairly good boy, who has
fallen in with bad company, and was
paroled, while Smith was remanded.

HONEYMOON Hotel.

l am awaiting further particulars OF
that Honeymooners' Hotel, which,
according to a circumstantial cores
pendent, is to be built on the South
Devonshire coast, for the special and,
if possible, sole use of newly married
couples on their wedding trips. That
the surroundings of the establishment
are to be made as idyllic and fairY-llke
as possible need scarcely be SAID.
Romantic arbors in shady corners,
gushing streamlets, secluded sylvan
hooks are to be provided ad lib., while
with the aid of science every night
will be a moonlight one, and every day
one of seeming bright and warm sun
shine. The prospectus is even said to
hint at the presence of mechanical
nightingales, which, thanks to per-
sistently winding up, will MARBLE on
every suitable tree.-London Figaro.

This paper Is Democratic IN principles
and is Independent IN its Viea0S on Gl
local questions.
"Not the When, but the What"


Under this quaint headline the
EDeni9ag Journal printed yesterday
another article paving the way for
its contemplated step over from the
Republican to the Democratic side in
She Gubernatorial campaign. The
article is a careful one. 1t bears evil
dence of being written to prepare the
public mind for the change without
shocking anybody's feelings by its
suddenness.
The writer begins by piling up a
number of impossible ifs, and then
feebly predicting a Republican victory
upon them. Then, a number of cir
cumstances, which, to an absolute
certainty will be those of the Republi-
a Convention, are arrayed, and the
deduction drawn that they must in
evitably result in disaster to the Re-
publican party. When the things
thus lugubriously pictured become
realities, then the Eoenfng Journal
will put ON an air of virtue, and will
swing out of line, and will follow the
Democratic candidate in his progress
to triumph.
There will, indeed, be nothing much
for those who are acquainted with
local history to wonder at. 1t is a
matter of common notoriety that the
Journal is under deep obligations
both to Ex-Governor Albeit and to
Mr.. Young, and as either of these
gentlemen will almost certainly be tn
Democratic nominee, the Journal vile
be only exercising the exquisite virtuel
of gratitude in supporting whichso-
ever wins the prize. Besides, the en-
nifty of our only competitor fol
State Treasurer John J. Toffey is
notorious, and, of course, if he is in
the field the Journal will be against
him with all it's might.
The experience of boiling its party
nominations will not be new to the
Journal, but its course will leave the
party in a queer position, without any
organ in this populous community,

He Was Justly Insulted.

He bore his new honor with APP
parent Indifference for q whole day,
but was very unwilling to take off his
beloved trousers at night.
When he had yielded to persuasion
and was snugly tucked in bed, he
looked up to say with emphasis,
Mamma, please put those skirts
away and let me see them
again."
Another lad, who was but little over
four years old, when mamma began
to talk about laying aside his skirts,
was taken i'll within a fortnight of his
new dignity. One day he was unusu-

THERE is something very painful in
the revelation of improper valuation
of Jersey City property. 1t is true
the Tax Commissioners had not time
for radical and complete reform, but
if the position of the County Board is
even partially correct, the valuation
especially of improved property
might have been uniformly increased
by a large percentage, without any
risk of exceeding justice.
Great expectations were based upon
the suppression Of the old Assessors.
From no feature Of the new charter
were better things expected. The dis
appointment in this case will have a
regrettable effect in shaking the gen.
eral confidence in the reality of all the
reforms promised.

The boys they love to see you drill
And watch your pretty feet.
They like to see your heads erect,
Your forms by health extended.
And feel quite proud to see you home,
And know they are befriended.
But pray take warning. Are you not
Thinning your chance of marriage?
Man does not want martial bride
But WOmau's gentle car riage.

Home from the lodge or club,
The broom drill you would use on them
And they would get the drub.

Another Pfgott Letter.

LONDON, March at the Parnell
commission this morning, Attorney
General Webster narrated the facts
in relation to Pigott's communication
from Madrid, to Mr.. SOames, the
Times solicitor. He slated another
letter from Pigott had been received
today. 1t had been posted March 2.
This letter was sent to SOames' Office
for Mr.. Ponsonby. 1t was not
read in court. Presiding Justice
Harmon decided that the fact that the
Irish World had raised money for
the Irish cause did not make the
recipient of the money responsible for
the articles in the paper, but it was
an important link in the evidence re-
ferring to the distribution of news
papers, melting to outrage. He said
that evidence proved that during 1880
and 1881, copies of the Irish
World were sent either direct
ly or indirectly from the Dublin
league offices, and were found in
possession of the league officials. Evil
dence on this point was admissible.
The court assented to Mr.. Dillon 60
ing to Australia for his health. At
torney General Webster resumed the
reviewing of articles from the Irish
World, referring to Davits' action in
connection with the home rule move
ment. He also read a speech made by
Dillon urging the destruction of the
police who were engaged in protecting
landlords.

Excitement Over the Commerce Act

Excitement Over the Commerce Act
CHICAGO, March 5.-The announce
ment yesterday that the house of
representatives had passed the SEN
ate amendment to the interstate
commerce act and that President
Cleveland had affixed his signature
thereto, as one of the last acts of his
administration caused intense excite
ment in railroad circles. The amend
ment would not be especially obnox-
ious to railroads if it was not for
the fact that in addition to
fine for the violation of the
law, any officer agent or other
person connected with the railroad
company, shall be liable to i'm
prisonment in the penitentiary. The
money fine alone had no terrors for
the railroad officials. They know the
company would foot the bill, but
when the prison walls and lonely
cells stare them in the face, the case
is different.

Changes of the Times.

General Harrison took the oath of
office yesterday, and became presi-
dent of the United States, and it is
air to assume that, in accordance
with the principles of the republican
party and the issues of the election,
there will be material, though it
may be gradual change, in the pol
icy of the government, but this
change cannot he greater, wiser, nor
more beneficial than that which has
occurred in the action of the Texas
farmers and ranchers. Fortunately
he would pay high prices for choice
watered sections, and even then dur
ing the drought famished cattle
would die. and crops be burned up
for want of moisture. But now all
this is changed to the wise men.
Whether their lands are "watered"
or not is immaterial, for they seek the
advice and assistance of the F. F.
Collins Manufacturing company of
West Houston street, San Antonio,
Tex. BY their action, at a reasonable
expense, water is located by the
Eclipse" windmill, it is raised from
the bowels of the earth, a good sup
ply is secured, and where formerly
all persisted for the want of water, all
now thrives and is luxuriant.
