GEORGE WILLI.tM CURTIS.
James Russell Lowell,


Had letters kept you every wreath were
yours;
Had the world tempted, all its chariest
doors
Had swung on flattered hinges to admit
Such high-bred manners such good-na-
tured wit
AT courts in senates, who so fit to serve ?
And both invited, BUT you would not
Swerve,
All meaner praises waving, that you might
In civic duty spend your heat and light
Unpaid, untrammelled with a sweet dis.
dain.
Refusing posts men grovel to attain.
Good Man all own you; what is left me
then,
To hReishtenp praise with, but Good Citizen?
But praise can harm not who so calmly
met
SANDERS worst word, nor treasured up the
debt,
Knowing, what all experience serves to
show,
No mud can soil us but the mud we throw.
You have heard harsher voices and more
loud,
As all must, not sworn liegemen of the
crowd,
And far aloof your silent mind could keep
AS when in heavens, with winter midnight
deep.
The perfect moon hangs thoughtful, nor
can know
What hounds her lucent calm drives mad
below.

How IA California Woman Conducts
business Among the wharyes.

Business Among the wharves.
san Francisco boasts of having a
woman engaged in most unusual
occupation for woman, and the
woman may boast of having made the
business remarkably successful. She Is
Mrs. Lewis and she owns and runs a
schooner She does not, according to
the San Francisco Examiner, do it by
means of agents, servants and proxies
generally, but is herself her own man
ager, engager of her crew, contractor
for her freight, collector of her bills. pur-
chaser Of her stores and general over
seer. Her vessel reioiccs in the name
OF Theresa and its usual route is from
San Francisco to Bernicia. 1t carries
great quantities of raw hides to the
5ernicia tanneries, besides freight for
the arsenal.
Not only does the energetic little mis-
tress of the Theresa attend to The shin.
ping and delivery of freight in San
Francisco, but she is always on tho
wharf at Bernicia to attend to unloading
and landing the cargo when the vessel
arrives. This personal supervision has
made the Theresa and her owner
famous among. shippers for reliability
and energy. For three years she has
done this constantly, with the exception
OF 1--WE months, when she was i'll.
The somewhat unfeminine surround
ings OF wharves do not disturb Mrs.
Lewis in the least. She sits at the
Theresa's dock with clouds of dust
Whlrllng about her, stevcdores shouting
and swearing, hides and merchandise Of
all sorts smelling to heaven, and receives
her freight, signs her receipts, keeping
tally OF the hides for the Bernicia tan.
neries with as undaunted an air as
though she were doing fancy work in
her own room. She is not, moreover, a
powerful Amazonian sort of figure, but
a frail-looking little woman dressed in
black. Her face is of the kind popu.
larry described as Sweet" but the
sweetness denotes no lack ofpurpose or
firmness.
The business was started a quarter of
century ago by her father, who man
aged the business until three years ago,
when he became sick. A man was en-
gagged to run it, but being person of
bibulous tendencies, he had to be dis.
charged. The next manager collected
bills and kept the money, so that he had
to follow his predecessor. Mrs, Lewis
had been keeping her fathers books and
had certain theories as to how the bust
ness should be carried on. She under
took it and has made shining success of
the undertaking.
"Bossingn the sailors was the feature
which she found most difficult, but that
she has learned to do perfectly. She has
very little trouble with her men, who
are as well paid and as well fed as any
on the bay. When she has any trouble
she discharges the offender. There is a
good deal of competition in the business
but the little woman is amply able to
hold her own. Very few succeed in
getting the better of her in a bargain
to move freight, and no one tries twice
to do it,
The successful little ship-owner is a
widow, her husband having died two
years ago. During his life he was away
ut sea almost constantly, SO that Mrs.
Lewis success is entirely OF her own

his place when the cold man" gave out
and "Jenny the minder" is still here by
the right of heritage.
An hour or so among the porters, cos.
tiers and countrymen will proYide some
extraordinary studies, and most inter.
esting place is reached on the northern
side OF the market, where at the foot OF
mountains of cabbages and precipices
of wagons and hampers, you will find
several hundred "peas shellersn squat
ting among bags Of peas and working
away with marvellous de6terity. They
are usually old women, fat and blowsy
or scraggy and lean. AS the peas rattle
into baskets or pans, the shelters keer
up q fusilade of banter among each
other and upon all passers, their sides
shaking with laughter as some well di.
rected sally calls forth a queiulous re.
tort They receive one penny per quart
for shelling the peas, and each woman
will earn from to ~ pence during five
hours work in the early morning
Their labors over, they drink and fight
mcrrily during the remainder of each
day.
The two most interesting places, aside
from positions for character study, to
DC found in the market are undoubtedly
in the fruit and flower arcades. The
flowers are in such abundance and
variety that one wonders if even in
London sale can be found for them
all. Yet the flower market is the very
first to be wholly cleared of its contents
The flowers are crammed together in
such dense masses that one might almost
walk upon them. Asters Of all colors
and OF iuXuriant growth are the most
plentiful and striking. Roses, stocks,
mulleins, lupins, beautiful bundles OF
heath, the hibiscus, lobelia, pinks, car
nations, dahlias, mathiolas, marigolds,
calcolarias and splendid fuchsias charm
and intoxicate, and contrast strangely
with all else in the dinful place.
VI the lusciousness and variety OF
fruits here exposed Americans have no
adequate idea. The general under
standing with us is that we are far more
fortunate than England in this regard.
Yet | saw here scores of varieties of
English and foreign grapes, peaches as
large as cricket balls, glossy nectarines
scarlet and brown, downy apricots
ireckled by the sun, monster plums,
luscious greengages, Orleans plums and
swans eggs, glowing magnum bonums,
pears from the Channel islands and the
south OF France, mulberries, melons,
plneapples, apples in endless varieties,
the aubergine, and late Strawberries, big
as eggs, in tempting boquets, bringing
from tenpence to a shilling apiece.

Experiments in Drying l.ananas.

Experiments have been made by the
curator of the botanic gardens of the
Island Of Granada in drying bananas.
A bunch of ripe bananas selling in the
open market at % cents, and weighing
with stems and skins about 1870 pounds,
will yield when subjected to tenn
perature of from 1870 to 100 degrees
about 80 pounds of dried fruit, which
sells at 16 cents per pound. In appear
ance dried bananas resemble the plan
tain baked in syrup, and the curator
estimates that the cost of growing, pre-
pairing and shipping dried bananas
would not be more than Sc, leaving a
clear profit of SO on each bunch.

Tennyson Discussed and Cooked to a
Turn.
The Abbeville Literary Club met last Fri
day night at the home Of W. G. MCGOWAN
ESQ. Mr.. W. w. Bradley read an essay Oh
The members OF the club, with few excep-
tions, expressed u very poor opinion OF the
poets ability.
II he hears OF the adverse criticisms he will
have a still less opinion OF Americans, and
would probably rise from his grave long
enough to write a revised opinion OF his un-
appreciative cousins on this side OF the water.
The members seemed to measure the sweet
est, the purest and most musical singer, by
the poetical standards set up for hakespeare,
Byron and Burns and some of the mem bers
held to the opinion that Tennyson did moi
touch the heart of the common people, and
that n poet could be great who failed In this
particular. Under this ruling Milton would
be nowhere.
In reply to the assertion that Tennyson
did not reach the masses, we would ike ior
some one 10 name a poet, living or dead. with
whose writings the American people are as
familiar as they are with Tennyson's. VINO
has given more pleasure to the reader and
less offence to morals and literary culture
than has any other man who has played upon
our feelings or appealed to the human heart.

yorite a majority of $4,000. which. it is claim
I'd will carry New York State for Cleveland
by q majority OF 5000.
Bulletins were received regularly. last night
and many persons remained in the Court
room to hear the news, which up TO the time
of going to press was from New York.
There seems to be now no doubt that Ne"
