THE WOMAN WHO WORKS.

where in the World.

She Is Taking Prominent Place Every
where in the World.
It is favorite argument with scores
Of women who have known better days
:hat they can not afford to work With
less thap enough on which to keep up
the old show, they preserve a pitiful
semblance of their past grandeur, deny
ing themselves in thousand little ways
in order that they may deceive the pub
.ic and their friends. In some of the
modern teachers they have read that
work in gentlewoman is degrading.
If we examine the class of persons
who believe that women should not
cork, we will find them men of over
weening pride or women of egregious
vanity mainly. Not one of them can
advance single legitimate argument
Tor tnef1 cause, and not few of them
admit that it is a foolish one at the
start.
A great deal has been said about the
dignity of independence, the result
usually of self-reliant work, and much
Of it has been what critics call rot. But
for all that we can not escape the con-
clusion that work, either of the hands
or mind, is an excellent thing, ennobling
rather than degrading, instructive rather
than narrowing. 1t quickens the wit,
widens the thought, extends the intel
lectual and physical vision, and, unless
it becomes a mania, brings good results
to all concerned. No one is better of
for having nothing to do, and the WON
ler is that any one should fancy the
contrary. 1t is said that woman loses
''caste" if she does not keep her hands
free from work. Among whom, pray?
In a country as young and democratic
as this, there is no such thing as caste.
The lady is the woman who is at once
refined and modest, and, begging your
pardon, whose first thought is not OF
herself. The gentleman is the man who
is gentlemanly, with all that the word
entails. Good family is a gracious thing,
but it is being put to sorry uses when
turned against the woman who works.
Laying all sentiment aside, it is better
to be out of debt than to trade on
buried ancestry.
The most conclusive commentary on
this question comes in the shape of
woman who does work. We find her
everywhere, not only in the country,
where her ancestors esta ablished her
right to freedom, but even among the
:o-called nobility of Europe. Old Gus
toms devoid of understanding are yield
ing to the advance of intelligence, and
the world is better off for their going.
The woman who works profits by their
decay. She loses neither sweetness nor
dignity by reason of her employment.
The nobility of her character is only
rounded by her work, and whatever he.
occupation she has at least the satisfac-
tion of performing her duty-always
the surest test of human work that has
yet been invented or found.-Miners'
Journal.

The Mexican arrived in Salem in May,
1882, where an account of the piracy
was speedily published. This account
fell into the hands of an American mer-
chant named Gould, residing in Port
Antonio, Princes Island. The desorip-
tion agreed with that of Spanish vessel
named the Panda, that had sailed from
Port Antonio only few days before for
Africa. The British sloop-of-war Cur
lew, arriving at that port shortly after,
the particulars were given to the COM
mander, Captain Trotter, with the addi-
tional information that the Panda was
then supposed to be lying in the river
Nazareth.
Captain Trotter Immediately went in
search of her.
June 4 the Curlew arrived at the
mouth of the river, and her three boats
manned with forty armed men, under
command of the Captain went in search
of the pirate. After rowing all night
the. men in the boats got sight of the
object of their pursuit lying at anchor.

patch has been steadily endeavOr
ing TO f0ment strife among the Re
publicans of the state by the dub
hing of Hon. JOHN MERCER LANG
SToN as ''Boss LANGsToN.n
This was to arouse the worst
prejudices and to cause tho liberal

HONE is the head OF the Party in
this state. Mr.. LANGsTON has
fought for those rights delegated
to him by the people. He was duly
elected and although identified
with the Colored people insisted
upon his rights as a citizen of this
state and of the United States.

That is we'll put. We think that
the matter of wages, reinforced by
the ability of the employer to laud
it over the employee in the way
that the whites would not stand
for moment accounts for the fas
cination for Negro help. But this
writer seems to be conversant
wit the fundamental principles Of
political economy as applied to log
ic or Vice Versa, when he said:
s'Then again our fair friend says;
Stop educating the Negro. Why, this
is the most extraordinary logic ever
heard"
Very true and this is the kind of
'slogic" with which they have gull
ed the white men of the Old DO
minion. He says further:

are charged with sucl terrible crimes as

ity are poor, ignorant, uneduca ed
| Negroes, with passions and desires un

known to them is fear, not morality"
While we do not accept the lat
ter position of his sweeping state
ment, 1t is nevertheless a fact thai
he has thoroughly realized the
situation.
He tells what must he done tt
bring about the condition TO
which they are clamoring:

The Democratic PARTY of Son

The Democratic Party of South
Carolina is split in twain.
The TILLMAN element swept
the state so far as the regular Con
vention was concerned, and the
straIghtouts accepted the situation
and allowed themselves to be swal
lowed. But it seems that they are
rather uncomfortable in the TILL
MAN stom ache, and have decided
to come forth and make fight.
A convention has been called and
met on the 9th inst. to nomina a
straight Democratic ticket against
Capt. TILLMAN. May the better
side win for they are all bad, but
the Colored man will be an impor
tant factor in the canvass.

THE CONGRESSIONAL OUTLOOK,


The Republicans are prosecuting |
y vigorous canvass for the control
of the sd Congress and the indi
cations are that they will. succeed. |
The decentralization among the
Democrats is general and far
reaching.
That party has too many ambi !
tious leaders without the proper
qualities Of leadership.
The conduct in the LANGsToN-
VENABLE contested election case
has lost them thousands of voters.
and caused even the rank and file
to be Disguised with those who
pose as representative of the
Party.
On the contrary, the Republican
Party presents one solid front to
the foe. All intestine broils are
quickly harmonized, and the great
principles for which that powerful
organization was called into exist
ence constantly kept in view.
Speaker THOMAS b. REED has
made a record that will be handed
down to posterity as one Of the
brightest achievements Of men.
The elections in the new states
have been especially encouraging.
North and South Dakota, Mon
tana, Wyoming, Washington and
lastly Idaho have Joined in the
music of the Union.
The outlook is indeed propitious
and shows that tIs;s business policy
of the Republican Party has won
for it a host of friends in every
section.
The record is unequalled in the
history of this country.
The passage of Federal Elec-
ton Law was step in the direc.
ton of a free ballot and a fair
count. The ENGRAVING upon the
statute books a silver law, which
tends to place the silver dollar on
