A correspondent of The Eastport

in Moose island, the story of which re-
minds one of the reports which some
times come from the bonanza mining
towns of the far west Plaster OF
Paris then sold for several dollars a
ton. The captains of the principal
vessels were Independent and rather
preferred to lay out their money at a
different store from where they sold
their cargoes. The young merchant
who sold goods but did not buy plas-
ter had great run of trade, and when
the island was given up he moved to
Eastport and entered into copartner-
ship with his old employer, Deacon
Hayden; and was able to build a
house, which is yet standing, from
the profits of little more than a years
retail trade at Lubec.

Having statisticized about everything
else, Hon. Carroll D. Wright, commits
sioner of labor, has at length turned his
attention to the moral character of wo-
men who work for their living. After
inspection of stores and factories in the
principal cities of the Union the COM
missioner kindly remarks:
From all that can be learned, one need not hest
tate in asserting that the working women Of the
country are as honest and as virtuous any class
of our citizens
This is judgment truly worthy Of
Bunsby. 1t is not likely, is it, that a
woman steals if she tolls eight or ten
hours day, year in and year out, six
days in the week, or that she has much
time to dissipate nights if she must rise
at 5 or o'clock in the morning to reach
her place of business in timer
Why indeed should not working wo-
men be as "moral" as any other people?
There seems to be an assumption here
which almost gives the inference that if
woman works for her living she could
hardly be expected to be as "honest and
as virtuous" as other people.
The truth is that the general morality of
working women is considerably higher
than that of idle, fashionable women.
Satan today finds mischief for idle hands
quite as frequently as at any period of
the world. Certainly, it is plain as the
nose on a mans face that if a woman
earns her bread by labor, she does not
get it in any questionable way.
Mr.. Wright finds that, owing to the
crowded condition of New York, work
ing girls are worse off there than in any
other city. He finds, also, that foreign
born employers are often more consider
ate of their help than native Americans,
and ''the kindest proprietor in the world
is Jew of the better class"
Now let Mr.. Wright institute hunt
into the moral character of women who
do not work for their living.

The Homing Faculty in Animals.

The existence of the homing faculty
in animals is well known, but is none
the less mysterious II is known, for
instance, that many honey hunters
find their prey by catching bees and
letting them free at different points
Each bee strikes home Immediately,
and so, to find the bee hive, one only
needs to follow the bee line of two or
three bees, ashley point to one and the
same spot, and come across each
other at the very spot where the hive
is to be found and is actually discov
cred. Eels and fishes often go from
one pond to another, very distantly
located, or from a pond TO the sea, in
a u ,.icv stt-.is Iic frue, WITnUuC any mrs
take. 1t would seem that this homing
faculty pre-exists to all individual ex-
;perience, since Humphrey Davy in
forms us that he has seen a young ALI
gator, which had just got out of its
egg, which had been broken by this
observer, make Immediately for the di
rection in which water was close by
Again, falcon, sent from Teneriffe
to the Duke of Lerme, in southern
Spain, managed to escape, and sixteen
hours later had returned, quite ex-
hausted, to Teneriffe. A dog, carried
from Mentone, in the south of France,
to Vienna, came back to Mentone, and
. donkey of Gibraltar which wa.
wrecked nearly 300 kilometers away,
on the Spanish coast, also managed to
get to his home in Gibraltar. Popular

An Old Story and an Old Moral.

Our readers are familiar with the &C
count of how the high sheriff OF New
York got divorce from himself on his
wife's behalf, and kindly saved her any
bother in the proceedings by not letting
her know anything about it till it was all
over. The Indictment by the grand jury
of Sheriff Flack and five of his Cocoon
spirators will have tendency to bring
the whole happy crew to their senses.
They will find that getting fraudulent
divorce through perjury and secrecy IS
not such private matter" as Sheriff
FIack claimed it was. One of the in
dicted individuals is Flack's own son,
another is a Judge and lawyer, while a
third is the referee himself, before whom
the alleged testimony in the case was
alleged to be given.
The five men indicted were mostly
persons Of high political standing, and
some of them of excellent social position.
The laws vengeance in New York is be-
coming almost as proverbially swift as
Jersey Justice" If convicted, the pen
itentiary doors will close on some of
these gentlemen.
This case may also have the effect to
change the law of some of the states in
regard to divorce proceedings. 1t is per-
Missile in these states to have the di-
vorce testimony removed from open
court and given simply in private, be-
fore a referee, who makes such report
as he chooses. This was how Sheriff
Flack's divorce was obtained. The
law was supposed to withdraw from
the public ear and eye scandalous
and unpleasant stories. But the abuse
to which it is liable to be put is
SO plain that the grand jury who pre-
sented the Indictment against the Flack
conspirators recommend that the prac-
tice of appointing referees in divorce
cases be abolished.
In prison walls the guilty persons will
have time perhaps to remember that at
the grand round up of human life and
action there is nothing that can succeed
quite 50 well as golden, honor bright
honesty. It is a fact that there is no.
body so easily deceived as the person
who is constantly trying to deceive
others. He loses in time his power of
seeing things as they actually are, loses
the nice discrimination of fact. Simple,
straightforward truth and honesty in
accomplishing a purpose are better than
all crookedness, better than all guile.

The weeping tree is situated about

Harold stated to The News reporter

there is always a heavy mist falling
from the tree, but in hot, dry, sun.
shiny weather large drops come down,
which would soon wet ones clothing

Discussion about what shall be our ma
tional flower has succeeded the conun-
drum, SIS marriage a failure?" A
southerner has added some light to the
subject by suggesting that we adopt as
our national emblem the cotton bloom.
It is significant and emblematical of the
source of much Of our wealth. Why not
prepare a design mingling the cotton
bloom gracefully and artistically with
the corn tassel? Thus our two great
sources of wealth will be symbolized i'll
union. Moreover, in this design would
also be symbolized the equal, united
north and south. Here's to the corn tas-
sci and cotton bloom INTERVIEWING for
