Cash Girls.

While talking with James Miller, who
has been a floor walker in one Of New
York's big emporiums, but has set up a
store in a neighboring town for himself,
he said to NE: "The newspaper which
will take up the cause of the immature
children who are engaged as cash girls
in the large stores of New York will be
doing great work for humanity. have
no means of knowing how many cash
girls there are in New York, but should
say about 10000. Fully one-half of them
are under fourteen years of age, and
many even under twelve. They are not
governed by the factory laws of the
states which prohibit the employment of
children below certain ages in factory
work, and they are subjected to drudgery
that is sometimes terrible.
IF I was obliged to make choice for
my own children of such ages, between
factory and one of the big stores, l
should choose the factory, where their
labor would be of such character as to
keep them busy all the time. In the
stores they have idle moments, when
they learn all sorts of wickedness.-New

The Wildes.

Oscar Wilde, since he is a pere de
famille, is no doubt wiser and a sadder
man; he has cut his hair, and no longer
wears garments a la Disraeli; he has left
off turn down collars and short wasted
coats and fobs, etc. Oscar has grown
very stout. His conversation is still
brilliant-rather too epigrammatic and
wanting in simplicity.
Mrs. Wilde is young and pretty; very
quiet, almost demure. She is as silent
as Oscar is loquacious. Lady Wilde
Oscars mother is striking old lady,
very accomplished. She can speak seven
languages, and though she has suffered
terribly from the state of Irish affairs,
she bears her many troubles bravely.
Her nom de plume is Speranza.-London

A Green Rose.

A specimen of the natural curiosity, a
green rose, is described in The American
Garden as being in size equal to the La
France or Bon Silene. 1t is very double,
being a rosette of fine leaflets Of family
pinkish green hue, and consequently in
conspicuous in appearance. The flower
has pleasant fragrance. Among so
large and brilliantly colored a family as
the rose this green member is hardly to
be considered worthy of cultivation. 1t
is, however, very interesting as DO
tanical specimen, for it is an excel
lent example of the fact that our most
priced flowers all depend upon their
colors in being more than mere mass of
leaves, as this, besides slight variation
in shape and size, is the most that dis
tinguished the petals of flowers.
