The Evolution OF Woman.

From HarpeFs Magazine.
If we look back a quarter of a century there
is no change so marked in social and business
life as that IN the position of women in regard
to education. employment and freedom of ac-
ton. And this position of self-dependence and
Self-defense is taken without any question. A
few years ago i'll London it was not Just the
thing for an unmarried girl to be seen abroad
alone even in her mothers carriage She may
now be seen III hanson. Ii was not long ago
that II was thought unsafe for women to travel
without a male protector. A brace of spirited
girls may now go clear round the world together
IN entire fafety, and without exciting any sem
tlment more dangerous than admiration.
SO lar as the world is concerned,
they are entirely safe, if they desire to
be. Perhaps We might have more cause for
anxiety for the well-being of young man or a
couple OF young men on the same journey.
The world III all civilized lands will treat the
woman as she wishes to be treated. 1t seems
to be well settled that women can protect them
selves, now that they are permitted to do So
anu that they can come as near to supporting
themselves as a good many men. Indeed
among the colored women of the sonth it is
quite a prevalent question whether thew can
afford to take husbands. 1t is q subject of con-
slant speculation what effect this change of
position VIII have upon the character of the
sex. The sex has always despised man who
Is not independent and self-sustaining The
men have liked women who were not too indie
pendent. Will women be less attractive to men
az they become less helpless, and will their in
dependence work subtle change in their
nature which will be increasing as time goes
on, according to the laws of heredity? Will
the habit of self-reliance, of taking active part
in business perhaps in politics (for a good
many women are saying that they will be will
ing TO vote and run. or saunter. for Office if
Providence puts the ballot in their hands), put
certain other admirable qualities in place of
the acknowledged feminine graces and charms?
This is an open question. and one much more
important than the tariff or the surplus-even
the reported surplus of women in certain
states. For ii cannot be but that the educa-
ton of women and their increasing freedom of
action will as virtually affect this nation as il
has already affected the visible aspect OF mod
ern lite.

keeDiu0 Correct Time

A simple method of keeping correct time
where access to standard time is inconvenent
is thus explained by the Locon,otire: Select two
fixed points for range of observation. If a
westerly window can be chosen which faces any
building anywhere more than % to 80 feet dis
tant, We have as good post of observation as
we can desire. Drive a nail. or stick a pin into
the window jamb; or, If anything more sub
stantlal Is wanted, fix thin piece of metal
with very small holein it to sight through
n any convenient place, so that you can OBJ
serve the time any star sets or sinks below the
roof of the adjacent building, or whatever may
be chosen as the more remote sight Then
choose some well-defined star, the brighter the
better, and with your time-piece set right Ito
start with observe the time it passes the range
OF your sights. The exact time, as well also as
the date of this observation. should be re-
corded. then to find out at any subsequent time
how much your watch has varied from correct
time: observe the same star and recolect
that it sets just minutes and So. 909i4 seconds
earlier on any given night than it did the pre-
cedlng night. Thus if for our first observation
was taken some night when the star set at 9
hours, 10 minutes and % seconds: and at our
second observation, taken Just one week later
1t set at 8 hours. AZ minutes, and 50 seconds. we
would know that our watch had kept correct
time. If it had set at hours, As minutes and
81 seconds. we would know that our watch or
clock had lost 2 minutes during the week. And
similarly for any other variation If the time
at which 1t had set had been hours. 40 mini
utes. and 81 seconds, we should see that our
watch had gained minutes, and so on. If the
location OF our sights admit of it we should Sc
iect star so as nearly as possible. from the
pole star, for its apparent motion will be
greater than that of one near the pole. and the
liability of error will be diminished. II a suit
able selection can be made, the error need not
be more than three or four seconds, and it will
not be accumulative.

Bath Rooms i'm Factories,


L read with interest your editorial on bath
rooms for the help in the factories. and would

they allow in working hours is not sufficient 10

why our employers have not given more atten-

BLACK FRIDAY.
Henry Clews' Explanation of the Good
and Evil I'm That Conception.
Gath, in Cincinnati Enquirer.

Gath, in Cincinnati Enquirer
What is your explanation of Black Friday?"
Il think there was good mixed with evil in
that conception. We had great crop in 1869.
and it was desirable to stimulate its export.
The Treasury had been selling gold to keep the
price down, and gold was the cheapest of our
products at that time, being artificially de-
pressed, and would therefore leave the country
quicker than the grain, in the settlement. OF
foreign accounts. 1t was known to JAY Gould
and Others that the government would not sell
gold. They also commenced to buy it, and
they claim that they did SO to stimulate cotton
and grain expectation and keep gold high in
this market This can be believed at the pres
ent time through the popular education on the
SUBJECT Dy some who would have laughed at
the explanation twenty years ago. 1t has
been almost twenty years since Black
Friday. Gould therefore had accumulated dur
ing three months considerable gold, which he
had bought at from l35 to 140 The day before
Black Friday Jim Fisk joined the combination,
and it struck him that he could carry up gold
with what the pool had and what the govern
ment mad locked up, to an immense figure.
The original crowd had consisted of Could
Stern Brothers, of London. and Il. s. Wood
ward OF the Rock Island corner. Gould acquired
the two last interests, and Fisk it is supposed
came to his help. On Friday morning Fisk be-
gan to buy great blocks of gold through his
brokers. Belden Speyer. l sent a telegram
to Secretary Boutwell, and one to President
Grant. urging gold to be sold, the moment
saw 1t was running up 80 fast. The collector
IN the sub-treasury Of New York did the same.
The government, therefore, sold S5,OOO,O 900 of
gold. In the meantime, Fisk's brokers had run
IT up to 16O. In two hours it was down to 1872
But Speyer, who had lost his head. had
been told by Fisk to buy in million lots all he
could get at 160. SO, in the same room
Speyer was paying this price, while within
few feet of him gold was being sold in moder-
ate amounts at 140 and more. Even when it
was down to 135 Speyer was bidding 16O. and
taking $1,000, 900 at a time. Some of the brok-
erS bought the gold back at 14O, being satisfied
with profit of 20 per cent. But Fisk repudi-
ated his contract with Speyer and Belden, and
that broke them as well as the other members
of the gold room. The muddle was SO great
that they had to suspend dealings in gold for
about one week to have the differences adj
justed. The gold banks suspended business
also. The supposition was that Gould lost "a
DOC, 900 and Fisk as much. Fisk repudiated
however, and these large losses were generally
evaded. The importing merchants suffered
more than anybody else. That gold Juror
brought many Israelites to Wall street who
have remained there"

desire of the moth for the star or the attrac-

the results be altogether happy~or partly disas-

neighbor to another. as the two met Yesterday
morning. The family had returned; but how
did he know it? He had not seen them. True.
but he had seen the unmistakable signs. The
curtains at the front windows, which had been
drawn closely for weeks, were up. In the frost
upon the pane was figure that only tiny baby
fingers could draw. Beneath the fringe of frost
recllned a touzle-headed doll. and a picture
book rested against the sash. In the parIor
below was vase of fresh flowers and the cur.
talns appeared to hang more gracefully. The
front steps were secured and the sidewalk was
clean. Yes. the family was home again. and

shoes, and the generally dilapidated appear
