Francis Train.
--Chauney NJ Depew recently did
tine first newspaper work OF his life
for which he received payment. 1t
was an editorial on "Ihe Fourth OF
July" for Frank Leslie's Weekly, and
Mr.. Depew was paid 500 for it.
w. Martindale, of the London
Public Opinion and Corsican by
birth, has probably the most remark
ably retentive memory in the world.
Indeed, it is claimed that after listen-
ing attentively to speech OF thirty to
forty thousand words, he can go to his
desk and write it out verbatim, with
out the use of notes of any kind.
Mary Gordon Duffee, the author
ess, lives with her aged mother in
ruined frame cottage which sits
perched on the very summit OF a
picturesque mountain near Blount
Springs, Ala. Miss Duffee is now
about fifty years old and is very eccen-
trio. OF late years she has depended
almost entirely on the charity of her
kind-hearted neighbors.
Gail Hamilton, whose real name is
Miss Mary A. Dodge, prepares her
manuscript for the press on odd scraps
of paper. with stub pen. One of her
recent articles was entirely written on
the inside blank pages of od envelopes
which she had cut open and saved.
Friends who send her letters of which
one sheet is left clean furnish her with
~ large amount of her writing ma
teral. Miss Dodge's handwriting is
a bold, round, masculine type, and no
one would suspect that it was pro
duced by woman.
The leading tenor of the world to-
day, Tamagno, is about forty years
of age, and originally assisted his
father in the manufacture of mineral
waters in Tu"in. He and his brother,
baritone, became members of a
choral society of working-men, who
used to give evening conce is in the
public gardens. and in this capacity
the tenor attracted the notice OF
Signor d Albezio, who gave him a
musical education. Three years later,
in 1878, Tamagno made his debut in
"Un Ballo," at Palermo, and has since
been one of the most popular tenors
in Italy and Spain, and particularly in
South America, where he amassed a
fortune. He has powerful voice,
extending two full octaves to the up.

A Qualification.

In an article on woman suffrage Ralph
Waldo Emerson says: "For the point, OF

disqualification. but qualification.
Human society is made up OF partial

to the extreme. would leave no room
for any other citizen. One man is
timid and another rash one would

SlSTERLY DEVOTION.
How Citolipe Herschcl Assisted ]
Brother In His Great Work.

How CuoIipe Herschcl Assisted Her
Brother Ia His Great Work
Caroline lIcrschel had one passion
devotion to her brother, Sir William
Herschel, tho astronomer. His wish
was her law. He began his career in
England as a musician. leading the
orchestra in the Pump Room at Bath.
He thought that his sister Caroline.
who was living at the family home in
Hanover, might assist him by singing
at his concerts, and accordingly re-
quested his brother Jacob to give her
lessons. Jacob ridiculed the plan, but
Caroline determined that Williams
wish should be obeyed.
II took every opportunity" she
says, when all were from home to
initiate, with a gag between my teeth,
the solo parts of concertos, shake and
all, such as had heard them play on
the violin; in consequence l had
gained tolcrable execution before l
knew how to sing"
Subsequently, when her brother be-
came an astronomer, she showed the
same decision, ingenuity and perse-
verance She made a pasteboard
tube eighteen or twenty feet long, that
he might have more perfect tele-
scope than the small and poor ones
then used. The brothers suite Of
handsome apartments was turned into
u workshop, and Caroline became as
useful to him as boy to his maste".
George III. appointed William
Herschel Astronomer Royal, and he
removed to a house in Dachet, near
Windsor, where he had a grass plat
on which the twenty-foot telescope
was erected Caroline was supplied
with telescope for sweeping the
heavens in search of comets. Every
starry night she had to spend on the
grass plat covered with dew or hoar-
frost, without human being near
enough to be within call.
Her education was so defective that
she was obliged to learn the mathe-
matical formula necessary to astro-
nomical calculations when she was
about to use them. Even her memory
was so poor that she could not remem-
Der the multiplication table, and al
ways carried copy of it in her
pocket; but her intense love for her
brother and her desire to assist him
enabled her to overcome these OBJ
stacles and to respond to his demands
upon her.
II am nothing" she wrote; II have
done nothing. All l am, all l know,
l owe to my brother, | am only the
tool which he shaped to his own use.
A well-trained uppy-dog would have
done as much.'
Such unselfsh devotion to brother
is almost unparalleled. Caroline
Hers chel had no ambition but to serve
him; no vanity except pride in his
achievements. She was jealous of his
fame, and after his death underrated
the progress of astronomy, because
she thought any development therein
detracted from her brothers reputa

FAMILY GOVERNMENT.
A Powerful Argument for Equal Rights
in the Homo.

in the Homo.
From a book entitled THE Fam
ily," prepared by the joint author.
ship of Rev. Charles +. and Mrs.
Thwing, we take the following: The
common objection urged against the
equal authority of the man and
woman in the marriage relation is
based upon the belief that in the
family there must be one supreme
and ultimate authority. A double
headship is monstrosity One only
can decide, and that one is more fit
tingly the man. TO this it may well
be answered that, however true it is
that the final decision of mooted
question can rest only on one, it by no
means follows that the Same one
should decide all questions. The cen.
trail idea OF true wedlock is the
idea of mutual self-surrender. Rights,
duties and privileges are reciprocal.
Neither the husband nor vile should
demand more than the other can give,
nor consent constantly to give without
receiving in return.
Two classes of questions arise in 8
family-those that are personal tc
either the husband or the wife, and
those that effect both equally. In af.
fairs which are common to both, ex'
perience must decide to whom the de.
cision may be more safely committed.
Doubtless, in affairs regarding the re.
lation of the family to the outside
world. the peculiar training of the
man fits him TO be the safer guide.
But in domestic concerns, such as the
selection and furnishing of the house.
the oversight of servants. the train
ing of the children, the house mother
is the natural leader.
Children naturally belong to both
parents. and both parents should have
by law an equal right to then
and their earnings. No more un
righteous law disgraces the statute
book than that which gives to the
father the sole ownership of children
sole control of their earnings and sole
inheritance in their property. Ii
many of the United States. until with
in a few years, a father might by will
dispose of the person OF even an un
born child. This law has beef
changed in several States; but th'
power of binding out child, be it sol
or daughter, still rests with the father
alone.
In matters private and personal
each must at the outset of married lif
recognize the complete freedom Of tn,
other. The only right to be main
tanned is the right of the one to yiel'
personal desire for the sake Of tn
happiness of the other. Neithe
should expect to dictate as to wha
friends the other may visit what hah
its he may indulge, what private ex
penses he may incur.
This, it need hardly be said, is nc
according to the present law. Tn
husband, as the head OF the household
has the right to dictate the policy c
the family. The wife is expected t
conform to his habits, tastes, even t
his eccentricities, provided her healt
be not seriously endangered by so dt
ing. The husband may even restriC
his wife's calling list, or forbid he
from visiting her relations. TIL
courts also sustain him in preventin
her from attending the church I.
which she is member.

BE A WOMAN.

'Tife is real, life is earnest"
Thus the recent poets song.
Just the reason, noble woman,
Tender. gifted, loving woman
Should be in the struggling throng.
Sway3 she not q magic scepter
Since earth's glorious natal morni
Robed in beauty, did not woman,
Graceful, queenly, tempted woman
Plant in Paradise the thorn?
Let her then hor sin rcpenting,
Mid the mighty ruin stand
Let her then though but woman,
Timid, shrinking, trembling woman,
Lift her voice, and raise her hand.
Sitting by the love-lit Preside,
Living diamonds clustering round,
She may polish, shape oh, woman,
Matchless and transcendcnt woman,
Where can skill like thine be found.
Long thy energies lay dormant,
Smold ring fires all unrcvealed,
Gladly now triumphant woman,
True, self-sacrficing woman,
Men to thee their homage yield.
Days OF peril are around us,
Sin is clamoring for the van,
Be true, courageous woman,
Earnest, faithful noble woman,
Standing side by side with man.
Nay, but on q higher platform,
Take firm unwavering stand,
Temperance ever, or no woman,
Helpful, and soul cheering woman,
Gives to man her heart and hand.
Who has quaffed the cup of tremblingf
Drained it deeply DER and o'crs
Who, but loving, patient woman,
Heart-crushed yet forgiving woman,
Fer such spirit torture bore!
Calmly, but with melting fervor,
Guilt and misery protray.
Who, oh, who like suffering woman.
Now emancipated woman,
Can the surging masses sway?
Shrink not even from the rostrum,
Meet the issue Of the hour,
Showing that feeble woman,
Fearful, shrinking, God.neryed woman.
May become a mighty power.
"In the worlds great field OF action"
You may hold the casting vote
Which my free down -trouden woman
Patient and enduring woman,
Strike perchance the dying note
OF sins mighty diapason,
Hasten thus its day OF doom.
Onward, then, oh mighty woman,
Faithful, grand, soul-stirring woman,
For earth's jubilee make room.
