WOMEN IN BUSINESS.

Mrs. KHAsMA, a Jewess of Bagdad,
manages factory which employees five
hundred Jewish women and girls. They
make calico embroidGries on covers, cur
tains, etc.
WOMEN BARRIERS are quite common in
Sweden, both in Stockholm and in the
country. In Denmark lady barber has
recently commenced business in the
small town of Svendborg.
THE retail book business in Nam
tucket, Mass, is largely controlled by
women. Among the dealers are Ellen
H. Coffin, Harriet NJ. Macy, Mary T.
Coleman, Mary \. Jones and Phoebe w.
Clisby. Inasmuch as women write the
books, buy the books, and read the
books it is only fair that they should
sell them.
A YOUNG woman who has a dress
making establishment in East Thirty
first street, New York City, makes her
rent by storing furs, wraps and winter
dresses for her customers during the
warm weather. The garment is clean
ed, renovated and packed away, and
Innings, ribbons, buttons or frills, and a
sufficient sum charged to cover the bill,
including insurance.
Mrs. CHARLOTTE FOWLER WELLS is
the president of the Fowler & Wells
Publishing Co., and the only surviving
member of an organization founded by
her brothers, the we'll know phrenolo-
gists, more than half a century ago.
Mrs. Wells, who is now seventy years of
age, successfully conducted the bust
ness through period of great financial
depression, during the war, and, until
lately, has read the manuscripts and
proofs of all the books and periodicals
bearing the imprint of her house.
Mrs. SOPHIE BRAEUNLICH, who began
her business life as typewriter in the Of
fee of Mr.. Rothwell, editor of the Engi-
neering and Mining Journal, becoming

ant secretary and treasury, has lately
been constituted sole business manager
of that thriving publication, because of
the remarkable capacity for affairs dis
played by her. Mrs. Braeunlich super
lnUendeu the preparation OF the UoVern-
ment statistics on gold and silver for
the new census returns.
Mrs. NJ. v. TAYLOR, of Washington,
Pa, is one of the best known and ablest

beokkeeper for an oil firm, saw that
money could be made in well-casings

was small and the demand large, and

"OLD EXCEPTIONS"

A Name Given to a Southern Manufac-
turer by General Sherman.
In Atlanta, Ga, says a Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette reporter, who has
just come back from to through the
South, there is an old business man,
with snow-white beard and han, whom
every body calls ''Old Exception.
When Sherman's army invested Atlanta
Sherman issued an order that all non
combative Confederates should leave
the city within twenty-four hours. This
man, who was founder, called at Sher-
mans headquarters. 81 want" he said,
ito remain in Atlanta. l am a business
man, and had no hand in the HOSTILE
ties" Didn't you cast guns for the
rebels in your foundry?" General Sher-
man inquired. YES" was the. reply,
81 did, but had to do it. 1 have large
interests here, General, and l wish you
would make me an exception; Pd like to
stay and look after my property"
YES" said Sherman, grimly, 'Fll
make an exception in your case" The
Atlanta mans face frightened, and he
started to tell story. Orderly" Cen
eral Sherman ea,-''Ive concluded to
make an exception in this mans case.
The orders are that all citizens shall
leave Atlanta within twenty-fOur hours.
This man must leave here in an hour.
If he doesn't, shoot him" Ever since
the war this old man has been called
'Old Exception" and the reporter said
that it was perilous thing to ask him
what he thought of General Sherman.

A SOUTHERN VIEW.
The Growing Sentiment in Favor of CO.
Educat ton.


Rev. DR.. J. W. Lee, of Park street,
West End Methodist Church, Atlanta,
Ga, writes to the Journal of that city
concerning co-education and the school
mistress abroad at the National Educa-
ton Association. lie says:
THE women are seen in the hotel
Hobbies, talking and making their way
from place to place, just the same as
men. 1t does not look at all out of
place; there are so many of them that
one would be led to suppose it was their
day.
I'm the educational circles women
have already come to be regarded as en-
titled to all the place and learning and
freedom that men have enjoyed. One
session of this convention considered
co-education, and all the teachers are
practically unanimous in favor of it
Prof. John Hancock, Superintendent of
Instruction in Ohio, remarked that in
twenty-five years boys would be knock
ing for admittance to the halls OF
Wellesley and Vassar, and all other fe-
male colleges, and that in all colleges
in this country young men and women
would pursue the same course of study
in the same classes. Oberlin College
was cited as an instance where both
sexes had been educated together
with the most fattering re-
suits. One thing is sure, this
convention of 1000 teachers seems to be
about unanimous on this question. That
means that III the future co-education
will be practiced in all our colleges, for
these teachers will have the rising gen.
Grafton in their hands, and will bring
them to their way of thinking. Women
here rise and express their views in the
convention without the slightest en-
barrassment, and it seems to me that
they generally state what they want to
say in better and moro direct style than
the men. When woman rises to speak,
no one expects to be bored, and no one
expects to hear expressed mere plati-
tude. They do have a direct way of get
ting at things, and putting things, that
is striking and entertaining. / am
about ready to conclude, from what l
see and hear in this convention, that it
will not be bad thing for the interest
and directneSs of public assemblies
when women come to take part in them.
The lords of creation, many of them, are
excessively dull and stupid, and the dull
and stupid women, if there be such, seem
to know how to hold their tongues"

There on the mountain hoary,
One wore the blue-how brave he diedl-
And one the gray; his story
Shone on his boyish lips Of pride
The holy angels kissing
The pain OF death had defed-
The roll hath named han missing.
He clasped the foeman's hand in his
Apart from all the others,
Beneath the laurels mock birds sang:
REST well oh, fallen brother!
The sabre's clash, the battles han,
Shall wake no more your slumber
Nor dream Of home nor songs of love-
Blend with the attle thunder
It seemed as if the Gray'S canteen,
To bless his brother given,
Had left his own parched lips unlaveo
Except by dew Of Heaven!
The Blues torn shirt had stanchedthe

The chastity and the CORY

Gave echo 10 their story.
While tender skies looked down upon
With peans of rejoicing.

The very winds were voicing
While all the stars together sang
For Union yet unbroken,

THE GRAND ARMY.
No Growing Ranks from Which Recruits
Can BE Drawn.


Can BE Drawn.
The Grand Army of the Republic is
unique organization. In the words of
past commander-in-chief: ''No child can
be born into it; no proclamation of Pres
ident, edict of King, or ukase of Gar
can command admission; no university
or institution of learning can issue a
diploma authorizing its holder to en-
trance; no act of Congress or Parliament
secures recognition; the wealth OF
Vanderbilt can not purchase the posi-
ton; it's doors swing open only upon
presentation of the bit of paper, torn,
worn, begrimed it may be, which certi-
fies to an honorable discharge from the
armies or navies of the nation during
the war against rebellion" And I'M
like any other association, no new
blood" can come in; there are no grow
ing ranks from which recruits can be
drawn into the Grand Army of the Re-
public With the consummation OF
peace through victory, its rolls were
closed forever. Its lines are steadily
and swiftly growing thinner, and the
ceaseless tramp of its columns is with
ever-lessening tread; the gaps in the
picket line grow wider; day by day de-
tails are made from the reserve, sum-
moned into the shadowy regions to re-
turn to touch elbows no more; until by
and by, only a solitary sentinel shall
stand guard, waiting till the bugle call
from beyond shall muster out the last
comrade of the Grand Army of the Re-
public. S. Merrill, in New Eng
land Magazine

He could not speak, but his attitude was

ers who were confined in Libby at that
time. She was sent North on August

in charge of the female prison at Louis

Clarksburg, Tenn, to take charge of
the Refuge Home. Her commission ex-

she was paid altogether S1,2O2 So. She
now draws pension of so month. She

that infrmity she has lately broken her
