Unmarried and Free.

There was one maiden lady who re
sided in Ulster County who was not an
noyed by the term ''old maid" She
rather gloricd in it, according to a
writer in the Kingston Freeman. Often
in conversation regarding the benefits
and evils i'll matrimony, she was heard
to say: ''It is risky at all events. / am
free and comfortable, and intend to re-
main So" AS she was comely, she
had admirers who had offered to her
their hands, hearts and fortunes, so she
remained an old maid from inclination
and not as some malicious women were
heard to say because she couldn't help
herself" She was true to her princi-
pies to the last When on her bed, dur
ing her last sickness, she sent for n
dealer in marble and gave him dircc-
tons regarding the tombstone to be
placed over her grave. Her orders were
implicit, and after her death they wcre
carried out conscientiously; and tho,
tombstone that now marks the last rest
ing place of the old maid in n cemetery
not many miles from this city overlook
ing beautiful country village, contains
after the name, date of birth and death,
the following tersc but most emphatic
inscription:

WOMEN IN JAPAN.

VIII the philadelphia OualSeress Receive
the Treatment Hero Described
Like the Chinese, and in fact every
other Asiatic race, the Japanese enter
tain no respect for women, whom they
regard as creatures of inferior intelli-
gence, resembling brutes in being,
without soul. Thus it is almost i'm
possible to bring any untravcled Jap
anese to comprehend the Difference
which the men of civilized nations paw
to women. The latter, in his eyes, arc
solely fitted to act as tho servants-nay,
even as the slaves-of the stronger sex.
Seldom, if ever, is the wife permitted to
sit ut table with her husband, no matter
how high her rank may be, and when
admitted to his presence she is forced
by etiquette to approach in the same
manner as the domcstics, namely. on
all fours, with repeated prostrations.
Imagine young and dclicatcly
nurtured American girl, such as, for in
stance, the fair Quallcrcss of Ihiladcl-
phia, who has always been accustomed
to the most thorough Difference and
courtesy, thrown for the first time
among set of men such as the untrav-
.clcd friends of her Japanese husband
men who arc devoid of every feeling,
not alone of civilized respect for her
sex, but even of the most elementary
notions of civilized deccncy. Anybody
who has lived among the Japanese, rs 1
have, writes ANEW York Tribune cor
rcspondcnt-not as mere tourist under
the tutelage of an interpreter, but in
direct contact and understanding their
language-will bear me out when 1 asI
scrt that it is impossible for white
woman to live among the natives in
japan without having every feeling Of
womanly. respect and dclicacy out
ragged and, in course of time, complete
ly blunted.

POPULAR PLAGIARISM.
An Onense Which Is Very Often Commit
ted Unconsciously.

An Onense Which Is Very Often Commit
ted Unconsciousy.
preacher of New York has been ac-
cused of plagiarizing from q brother in
the pulpit two sentences which he in
troduccd into one of his sermons recent
ly, and considerable fuss is being made
about the affair. This charge of
plagiarism, says the Boston Traveller,
is being made very frequently against
writer's of late. There surely never has
been time when So many authors have
been accused of stealing from others of
their craft as to-day. We have no rca-
son to believe that they arc less honest
than they used to be, and there surely
must be some reason for this curious
state of things. This reason may be
found in the fact that the world is rap
idly growing old; it has, by the way,
been growing old for n good many
years.
/ 1t is only within few years since we
discovered that mother earth had, with
feminine unscrupulousness, deceived us
bascly with regard to her age. Conse-
quently new ideas are scarce; our an
.ccstors CLEANED the field of originality,
and left us u rich legacy OF thought
which we have both consciously and
unconsciously appropriated as our own.
Resides, the human mind as it advances
by the process of evolution, becoming
moro penctrativc and absorbing seizcs
upon ideas spontaneously, as it were,
and not at mental volition of the
thinker, and is frequently deludcd into
thinking that these ideas are sclf-gcn-
Grated.
1t is n familiar fact that one may I'M
consciously pfagiarizc, not only the
thoughts that one hears expressed, but
the very words that give them express
sion. 1t is almost impossible to trace
the subtle workings of the mind of tho
highly developed and sensitive individ-
ual, susceptible to the most delicate inn
prcssions. There are many minds so
highly cultured and so susceptible to
such impressions that they are almost
.clafrvoyant Indeed. it is not at all inn
probable that as we advance in civiliza-
ton clairvoyance will become one of
the higher faculties of the educated
man. In the case of the New York
minister, who Inns been accused Of
plagiarism, it is probable that, though
he may have appropriated the words of
another, he did so unconsciously, and
ought, therefore, not be condemned or
cenSured for it.

fInc AtistinctlOnS OF Etiquette Observed In

There is no place under heaven in
which hicrarchical grades are so rigidly
established as in the dancers green
room at the European opcra-houscs.
The star, says the Chicago News, bears
exactly the same relation to the sub
jects as u queen does to the ladies of the
court, and the subjects the same rcla-
ton to the coryphces as, say, the ladies
of the bcdchambcr to the drcsscrs Of
her Majesty. The qundrille is a mob
of noviccs having no rank to Speak of.
We're n subscriber to pit or box tier,
who has his cntrcc to the grcen-room,
engaged in conversation in the wings
with member of the quadrille, and n
coryphee to come up, the former would
have to go away. Tho same etiquette
would be observed by coryphee if q
subject came up; and if the star deigncd
to speak to the gentleman the subject
would be expected to fall back in an at
titudc which would express the deep
sense she felt of the honor done her by
the star in deigning to address the adj
mirer Of the subject.
a star would think herself called upon
to resent being invited to dine with an
inferior member of the corps dc ballet
unless her leave were first asked The
etiquette would be to ask her what
members it might be agreeable for her
to meet, and whether, if she did not de-
sire to make choice herself, it might
be agreeable for M'd'lle Such-a-Onc to
be invited? Nor would it be thought
rude if she made n choice excluding tho
danscusc SO named. Subjects stand in
a relative position toward coryphces.
But young ladies of the quadrillc should
be only asked to meet each other.
