 WOMEN AS JEWELLERS.
 The mechanical and artistic abilities of women have as yet been little tested in the delicate and difficult handicraft of the jeweler; yet it may be that in the future many of them may have this employment open to them which is both pleasant and re- munerative. Two young ladies of New York city, who have been trained by their father to his own trade, are practical and experienced watch makers, capable of con- structing and putting together in working order each part of the mechanism of clock or watch. They also design and complete many pretty novelties in jewellers goods, and should they succeed to the business are entirely competent to carry it on. They are very proud of their trade, con sidering it delightful and healthful, and far from believing that the use of delicate tools upon tiny bits of metal is injurious to the eyes, they assert that it act tually strengthens the nerve of sight, provided that one always has. the proper light in which to work
 The city of London boasts of an expert lady jeweler in the person of Mrs. Eliza beth Newman, wife of the decorative ar tist, Philip H. Newman. She was edu- cated in the South Kensington school of art, and for years made designs for faces, tapestry and jewellery. The noted English jeweler, John Brogden, won the cross of the Legion of Honor at the Paris exposition of 1878 for work done from Mrs. Newman's designs. The committee of award, learn ing the patterns were devised by woman, ordered 8 special bronze medal to be struck for her, an honor granted to no other woman. Her designs also won for MT. Brogden the gold medal of the French National academy, and at Regent park flower show her designs for bronze and silver medals were accepted and coined
 After the death of MT. Brogden, Mrs. Newman set up an establishment of her own and employs six skilled workmen to produce her original an exquisite fancies in gold, gems and enamel This lady also is enthusiastic over her work, not only on account of her own entire success, but be- cause she believes it to be an avocation particularly adapted to the taste, patience and skill of women, and new field in which they may make most gratifying ad- Vancement HILARY.

THE INFLUxOF GOLD.


 The Rothschilds, Speyers and other London bankers agree in the statements that further large shipments of gold are coming to this country and there seems to be an uncertainty whether France would make the bulk of these gold exports or whether the burden would fall on Eng land. Considering that France has a poorer harvest than England it would seem that she should send the bulk of the gold. The Bank of France may, however, as on former occasions, obstruct the ex- ports by raising the premium on full weight coin. The Bank of England is cer- tain to raise the rate of discount, but there is no doubt that more gold will find it's way to this country in spite of the efforts to prevent it. Estimates have been made that England and the Continent would be forced to part with gold amounting to $500, 900, 900 to pay for the imports of American grain. This idea is rediculed by others, however, who say that before 1000, 900 in bullion was sent to Ameri- ca, both the Bank of England and the Bank of France would raise their rates of discount and check the drain.
 In view of the fact in any event the drain must be very large, some of the Eng fish fnanciers are speculating on the re- suit and one of them, MT. Griffin, asserts that an important factor in this financial situation will be the silver question, and that stable American houses were making preparations to face 8 "silver crisis'' by making gold purchases in Europe. On account of the large issue of silver cer- tifcates, which he considers gross legis- lative mistake, he predicts "crash" about next February, and he docs not see how grave trouble can be averted by rem edial legislation, even if both parties in Congress could agree upon the means.
 From an American standpoint it may be concluded that MT. Griffin takes pesi- mistic view of the situation, and it is not to be wondered at when he see the inevit- able staring him in the face of the large drain of gold from the Con tinent to pay for American products, which they must have or starve. So far as "crash" is concerned in consequence there is nc doubt that Congress will be fully able to cope with any and all questions that may arise in connection with the question and will see to 1t that tho influx of bullion does not bring dire ruin to the country.

MIR. wAKEMAN'S JOURNEYINGS. A Discovery In the old Washington Building In Liverpool Haw- thorne's Private Omcs-His Genuine Hnunts and Home at Rock Park.

LONDON, England, Sept. b. To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 It always thrills the heart of an Ameri- can traveller to see the blazon of a'soaring eagle with our national motto, "E Pluri- bus Unum," streaming from its regal beak, whether it be we'll or lilly painted, upon the escutcheons adorning the office doors or inner apartments of our consular rep resentatives in foreign lands.
 The one discovered in the old Washing ton buildings, Liverpool, and which dis closed the very apartment where Nathan iel Hawthorne had been our cousul from August, 1853, to September, 1S57-of which I was at once able to make proof was the most welcome one my own eyes had ever beheld. It had been painted upon tin or zinc and nailed securely to the long, narrow panel, which it had been made to exactly cover, between the old fashioned fireplace and the tiny projection of mantel above. Succeeding coats of paint upon the woodwork of the room had blended its edges with the fireplace frame, and half century of English coal smoke had all but obscured it's rich Vandyke tints.
 With the weather beaten Englishman's cheery permission, my handkerchief and some petroleum, readily secured in one of the ship supply stores on the Goree Piazza below, soon had the fine escutcheon glow ing in its original beauty and significance. Then it was delight to sit there, or wan der back and forth between this room and the adjoining one, which found had been the outer and business office of the consul late, and, with loving fancy, bring back into their accustomed places the surround ings, occupants and belongings of these two little old rooms.
 In Hawthorne's time Washington build | ings-which is a single huge building fronting the river to the south, Brunswick | street on the west and the Back Goree on | the north-was one of the structural lions | of Liverpool. Beneath it's great Moorish | riverward piazza scores of merchants did mighty business in ship chandlery. The offices. above belonged to the cotton kings l and the great ship owners and shipping merchants of Liverpool. Every room in the vast hive swarmed with head men and clerks, and roared with blatant and profit 1 able rivalry. Opposite the piazza were l forests of masts, busy wharves and thor oughfare packed night and day, under

Apropos of the will of Mrs. Fair be- queathing all her vast fortune to her child dren, it is observed that she has followed the example of every millionaire, with a single exception, who has ever died in Cal ifornia. James 4ic.. stands out in sharp contrast with the long list of people who have acquired tremendous wealth in Cali fornia and who have died without leaving dollar for any public or charitable use in state to which they owed millions. It deserves to be mentioned, however, that Senator Stanford is making the public a beneficiary of large portion of his enor- nous wealth while he is yet alive.

 THE MYSTERY OF THE ROSE.
 TO A. N. P. What is the secret of the rose, It's latent source of form and hue! What fervor through its being glows? What aspiration strong and true,
 That bids the bud unclose? What curves each petal like shell, Close folded round it's glowing heart? What influence through each vein and cell, Stirs, shapes, renews, with subtitle art, All charms that in it dwell? These are the roses gift and dover, The lovliest texture, sofest hues; And dreams of many vanished hour Its hauntiog fragrance aye renews s With a mysterious power. Its secret in its heart it hides; From birth to death it guards it well; The energy that in it bides, Is of Gods grace miracle: But one of countless marvels hourly given To blind and thankess souls by the dear
 Lord of heaven.
