HOW THEY GET BACK.
Device of Disappointed Europeans to Re-
turn Home.

Device of Disappointed Europeans to Re-
turn Home.
Every one is aware that there is an
export trade in cattle between this
country and Europe, but very few out
side of those personally Interested in
the business have just conception of
its real magnitude. Every week in the
year from three to five cattle steamers,
with from eight hundred head of live
cattle upwards, leave the port of New
York alone.
These vessels carry in addition to
their ordinary crew about fifty odd men
whose sole duty it is to attend to the
stock in transit About half of these
are regular cattle-men used to the care
of animals, and the other half are men
who for one cause or other are DESTROYS
to leave 1.-THE land of the free and the
home of the brave" for the effete mon
archy-ridden countries of Europe they
came from. So anxious are they to get
away that they willingly ship as help
ers, receiving no other reward for from
twelve to fourteen days hard work
than their grub and their passage over.
From time to time lads" appear in the
daily papers calling for these men, and
as rule the applicants are away in ex-
cess of the demand.
The offices where they are shipped
are mainly on Greenwich street. near
the Battery. Here the other day a
News reporter had an interesting con-
versation with one of the principal
agents for procuring this inexpensive
kind of help for the cattle bosses.
q "You want to know" he said, what
kind of men want to work their passage
home in cattle ships. Well, almost all
kinds and conditions of men. We have
applications from young English clerks
who have found that they have brought
their goods to an over-stocked market,
and whose money is all gone; mechan-
les who have been out of work so long
that they are in the same condition, and
Youngsters who have run away from re-
spectacle homes in the old country and
are returning, having squandered their
substance in riotous living, to the old
man.
1--WE ship quite lot of laborers, too,
and quite a number of these men have
money enough to pay their passage and
ship with US simply to save it. Nearly
all of this class return, as they only go
on the cattle boats that they may have
the more to spend when they visit their
friends on the other side. We like to
get them. too, as they are harder work.
ers than broken-down clerks and high
toned mechanics"
Sometimes, he continued, after a
pause, ''we ship actors. don't mean
regular actors, but variety actors. About
two months ago 1 shipped party of
four minstrels who had got Cred OF
swinging around the dime museums,
and had made up their minds to try the
English music halls. They were the
life of the ship on the passage over, and
the cattle foreman told me on his re-
turn that they were moreover the best
workers in his CROWN. Y. Sunday

DEPLORABLE BUT TRUE.
Instead of Being a Friend, Woman 1
WoTnan's Worst Enemy.

Instead of Being a Friend, Woman Is
Wonan's Worst Enemy.
Woman is the sweetest creature the
Lord has ever made, but it has yet
to be proved that she is woman's
best friend. 1t is harsh
thing to say, but it is fact neverthe-
less, that women do not love one
another. Their sympathies go out to
the feathered tribe, the dumb animals,
the heather, and pagan, the prisoner of
justice, and the male tippler, the festive
tramp, the fashionable roue, the van
pushed slugger, and the hero of the
stage and society, but no compassion is
wasted on the young girl struggling for
footing, the dependent widow or the
wretched woman who could succeed in
saving herself if only given little en-
enlargement and assistance.
Women with tender hearts and ample
means will do church work, scatter
tracts, keep the cash in an exchange or
white ribbon restaurant, stand in a
Jacobs we'll" or bazaar and sell frappe
sweets and fancy goods all day long
for sweet charity. Yet these same

ter, testimonial or guarantee of good
will which means bread to the suppl
cant. A dozen pretty, plausible and po-
lite excuses are given for declining the
favor, but pecuniary help is not offered
either, and the applicant goes off in de-
spair and does the best she can, which
is often far from good.
Ask any girl in the mill, the cloak
factory, the muslin factory, the dress
making establishment or any other in
dustry where forewoman is employed,
and she will tell you she detests the
woman she has to work for.
/ asked a ribbon weaver why this was
so.
because she nags; because she is al
ways looking for something she car
pick at; because she never has kind
word to say to a girl, no matter how
hard she tries to please her; because she
carries tales to the boss and because she
will keep back work from the girls she
doesn't like and give the best paying
Jobs to her favorites. IN. Y. Sun.

Let Us Cherish sympathy.

BY attention and exercise, it may be
improved in every man. 1t prepares the
mind for receiving the impressions of
virtue; and without it there can be no
true politeness. Nothing is more odious
than that insensibility which wraps a
man up in himself and his own con-
Germs, and prevents his being moved
with either the joys or the sorrows of
another This inhuman temper, how
ever common, seems not to be natural
to the soul of man, hut to derive itself
from the evil habits of levity, selfshness
or pride; and will, therefore, be easily
avoided by those who cultivated the
opposite habits of generosity, humanity
and good-nature. OF these amiable af-
fections, the forms of common civility
and the language of polite conversation
are remarkably expressive; proof that
good breeding is founded in virtue and
good sense, and that kind and honest
heart is the first requisite to an engag.
ing deportment.-N. Y. Ledger.

? ABOUT SWEEP DOORS.



1hsS Are OF Three Kinds, and Have Al
wsys Been Loved Nv Man.
From the very earliest ages man has
loved sweet doors. In the Bible we
read Of the burning Of incense on the
affairs, and the very word perfumery
under which head we may include all
delicate fumes or smell5} comes from
the Latin 1unaus, smoke or vapor.
The early Egyptians knew the use OF
the still, and adopted it to the separa-
ton OF the cdorous principle from fra
grant plants, but the most ancient Cd rs
were drawn from natural gums, such as
camphor, myrrh and cinnamon.
Sweet doors are Of three kinds--.the
fioral, the aromal and the balsamic.
The first group includes all those de-
rived from sweet-smolling flowers and
plants; the second, those derived from
musks and resins; the third. those de-
rived from leaves and gums. The otto.
or essential oil Of perfumes, is obtained
In three several ways--distilliativn
maceration and enfiourage.
In distiliation, the odorous principle
10 purified and separated from the
grosser parts by evaporation and subse-
quent condensation. An essential oil,
or otto, thus procured from orange flow
ers bears in commerce to this day the
name OF Neroll, named after and dat
ing from time Of the Emperor Nero.
In maceration, the primary substance
Is sofsened by pounding. and then dis
solved by STEPPING in liquid, usually al
coholic.
In enfiourage, the odors are extracted
by immersing the flowers or plants in
grease. The fat absorbs the odors, and
to remove 1t the fat is placed in alcohol;
the odor then leaves the fat and enters
into the spirit, which thus becomes
scented.
In the manufacture OF perfumes art
has improved on nature, and the per-
fumer must be a good chemist. Such
odors as Jockey Club, West End, Mile.
feur and host of others have nc
counterpart in garden or grove.
Indian lemon grass likewise gives
''extract of verbena." With the rose al
q foundation. and dash Of verbena,
the perfume Of the delicate and feetina
s'sweet-brier" is obtained.

Musk is found in the small pocket o.
pouch of the musk deer of China, Ton
quin and Thibet. 1t is SO powerful
aromatic and persistent, that one part
of musk will scent more than 5000
parts of inodorous powder
OF the spice series, caraway and nut
meg are largely used, and cloves enter
into many perfumes with high-sound
ing names. Cinnamon or cassia il
largely used. Cinnamon or cassia is
the bark of a tree. Cassia comes from
China, the true cinnamon from Ceylon
and the two odorous grasses are native
of India; one is known as the "lemol
grass" from which all our extract o
verbena" and ''verbena water" ar
made, little addition of lemon essenc

decessor in African exploration, Sir
Richard Burton, is lying very danger

plished even more remarkable feats

that has been done in Central Africa

A dozen men went back into the tun-
mel from which they had taken the dead
man, and looked at the place where his
last falteriug shock had glanced on the
ainty rock.
"Boys," said one, "I'll never forget
that l told Wash he couldn't have any
more powder, not if he died in his tun-
mel. Well set off them last blast-holes
jest as he wanted, and then We'll bury
him in here where he dropped"
There was plenty of blasting powder
now to be had for the asking, and in
few minutes more the face of the DRIFT
was ready for the blast the fires set
and lighted, word had got around the
camp, and every man was gathered AZ
the mouth of the tunnel. A few women
were in the old cabin caring for the
dying wife. A long silence followed
the lighting of the fuses, and suddenly
the dull noise of the shock and the fall
of heavier masses of rocks than usual
startled the miners outside.
| They ran into the tunnel with their
lights. The blast had opened wide
path into an irregular cavern, cleaning
with gold. Above, below and on all
sides was the shining, precious metal.
That last blast, for which Wash had
struggled so bravely, had revealed a
fortune. The excited miners rushed
out again with wild shout. A woman
met them with flushed and frightened
face.
"How can you make such Q noise?'
