WOMEN IN THE TREASURY.

A little over thirty years ago not
onc woman was employed in the IN
tied States Treasury, To-day there
are 5000 women on the roll. Then
Gen. Spinner was treasurer. lie had
been a banker. and as such had dis
covered that his daughter could trim
bank notes better than the clerks
could. lie accordingly suggested to
Gov. Chase, then Secretary Of the
Treasury, that a woman be allowed to
try herhand at the government shears.
lie selected Miss Jennie Douglass.
who was both brawny and bright. aud
gave her a pair of shears that
would cut the LEM til of Il sheet with a
blow. One days work settled it, and
the male clerks employed in clipping
bank notes gave place to women.
With this success to encourage him
Gen. Spinner in October. 1862. secured
the nomination of several women as
money counters. Two Of these are
still employed in the treasury.
The women dctcctors of burnt and
counterfeit money are claimed to be
the most expert in the world. That
Il the unquestioned reputation of
Mrs. w. A. Leonard and Mrs. Il. G.
Brown. According to phrenologists,
form. color and distance are strongly
developed in Mrs. Leonard. The rec
ord shows that this unrivalled coun-
terfeit detector handled in three
years 50, 900, COZ, ZOO. In one day no
less than sl2, 600, 600 passed through
her hands. From 5000 600 to 800, 900
is the daily average. Although Mrs.
Leonard has been married a second
time during her Treasury service, she
was not allowed to resign. because she
was considered Invaluable" In 1875
Mrs. Brown began counting fraction.
al currency, but when the identitlca-
ton OF burnt money became a separate
department she was made It's chief.
After money had been identified by
detector and paid by the Govern
ment the 1etector must bear any loss
which has been sustained through her
mistake. Mrs. Browns infallibility
may be Judged from the fact that dur.
ing her whole thirty years Of service
sue has had to refund only % cents.

Dee DIxby Lectures a Few Lines to the

lchabod, my boy, methought !
heard YOU speak of your sire this
morning rs the odd man" You are
is years Of age. are you not Just
so, That is the age when callow
youth has his first attack Of the big
head. You imagine at this moment
that you know it all. | observe by
the cut Of your trousers and the an
gle of your hat, and the flavor of your
breath, and the style of your tooth
pick shoes and the swagger of your
walk that you are badly gone on your
self. This is an error of youth which
your uncle can overlook, tut it pains
him sorely to hear you speak in terms
of disrespect OF n you should never
mention save by the sacred name of
father" He may not be up to your
style in the modern art of making a
fool Of himself, but, ten to one, he
forgcts nor in a week than you will
ever know. He may not enjoy smOk-
ing gutter. snipes. chopped fine and
inclosed in delicate tissue paper. but
he has borne a good many hard
knocks for your sake, and is entitled
to all the reverence your shallow
brain "a muster. by the by, after
you are through knowing it all and
begin to learn something, you will be
ashamed to look in the glass, and will
wonder where the fool-hiller kept
himself when you were ripe for the
sacrifice. And then, when the ''old
man" grows tired Of the journey and
stops to rest, and you Iold his hands
across his bosom. and take IA last
look at Il face that has grown beauti-
full in death, you will feel a sting Of
regret that you V e spoke of him in
such grossly diSreSpcctful Il manner,
and when you hear other sprout of i'm

ing them wit a sled stake and crush

A LADY BiNk PRESIDENT.
A Texas Woman Who Proves Equal to the
Financial Crisis.

A Texas Woman Who Proves Equal to the
Financial Crisis.
The st. Louis Republic says: Mrs
Annie MO0res, the only woman presi
dent of Il national bank, has PROVED
herself equal to every emergency in
the present financial crisis. This is
her hardest part of the year, as the
First National Bank at Mount Pleas.
ant, Tex, over which she resides. is
located in a large cotton centre. Mt.
Pleasant is also the county scat. and
besides doing business with the whole
country. Mrs. Mo0res' bank handles
the largest share Of the business for
which Mount Pleasant is the distrib-
uting point. Consequently with the
financial stringency, it has been no
light matter to provide for carrying
all the cotton accounts for the COM
ing fall.
Although Mrs. Moores is the young
est bank president in the State of
Texas, the Oldest presidents have
been very cordial in their relations
to the Mount Pleasant bank. and few
institutions have any higher stand
ing or better credit.
The president is so young and pref
ty and has such winning way and
charming expression that she looked
very much like an l0~-year-old girl be.
fore the present financial trouble
reached the country. There is moth
ing weak about her. Her eyes are set
well apart, her chin is strong and
every feature indicated determine
ton. Her hair curls softly about Il
broad white forehead. Above all,
Mrs. Mo0res is Il womanly woman
who cares more for home and the fam
lily circle than anything else. Still the
financial trouble has aged her a little.
Mrs. MoOrcs' connection with the
clearinghouse began when it was a
private concern, controlled by her
family. Her father and brother in
sisted that she should acquire all the
details. and she familiarizcd herself
with every branch. At that time
Mrs. MooreS was at the bank every
day and never left ill the days a.
counts were balanced to Il cent. When
the bank was mathematical Mrs.
Moorcs was dismaycd to find herself
brought before the public. but was
persuaded to remain in her position
by the directors. and now always pre-
sides at all meetings of the board. In
the matter Of investments she is very
cautious and carries few real estate
mortgages, the largest business being
IN discount notes. As she is not a
rcformcr or any sort nor a follower Of
wildcat theories, the business men
trust her methods implicitly. and the
annual dividends have been very Sat
isfactDry.
In her private life Mrs. MOOres is a
personal friend OF many women. al
ways anxious to help in the way they
need most. Many Il poor school
teacher or other young woman, tired
out with the battle for life, has
found IA resting place in Mrs. Moorcs'
home until she was able to take IN
the work again. Mrs. Moores is fair
~ well to do, and has Il pretty home
OF her own in Mount Pleasant.

Losses in the Franco-German War and the
War of the Rebellion-LOsses in New Jer-
sey Regiments.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: 4 couple of
foreigners-one German the Their an English
man-in speaking about our late war said that
our battles were mere skirmishes compared to
the Franco Prussian and the loss of life in that
was much greater than we experienced in ours.
/ wish you would give us IN your paper some
comparison of losses both in their war and ours;
Also the percentage of losses of some of the 300
fighting regiments of the Union army as COM
piled by Col. +. Fox.
Also please tell me which regiment from
New Jersey suffered the greatest loss in single
days battle. l served nearly three years in
the 18th N. j., and according to my letters
written home at the time and also the record
in my daily journal, carefully kept, we lost 157
out of 275 at the battle of Gettysburg, but on
our regimental monument at Gettysburg is is
marked 153. That loss all occurred in about
two hours time the afternoon of the I'd of
July in the Orchard by the Emmitsburg road,
and not far from there Gen. Sickles, our COM
mander, had his leg shot off.
Most all of us had very narrow escapes, and
the next day the small remnant of Us left
helped support Hancock's Corps on Cemetery
Ridge l know the 10Th n. J. suffered heavy
loss at SpottsylYania, but think their per-
centage of loss is calculated upon the total loss
in the series of battles at that place which
lasted several days whilst ours all occurred in
the brief space of about two or two-and-a-half
hours on the I'd of Inly.-ALONzo B. Soaring,
Box 81, Dover. n. ].
Your Englisbman and German are "away
off," The total loss in killed on the field of
battle of the 100 900 men whom the Germans
sent into France was about 3d. while the
1000 900 men in the Union army sustained a
loss in actually killed of fully three times that
number
We should say that, according to the way
you state your question. the 18th N. ]. is en-
titled to the credit of having lost the greatest
number of killed in one day in a single battle,
as its loss in killed and mortally wounded at
Spottsylvania, May II, was So At the same
place, May and 10, it lost SO killed and NOR
tally wounded 116 all together in the
battle. We are unable to give percentages as
we do not know the number taken into battle.

Gave Him Permission.

The "Saunterer" of the Boston Budget tells
of college professor whose house was just be-
side dormitory inhabited by a rather fast set.
One night the neighborhood was awakened by
an enormous clatter. On the professors steps
was a much befuddled student banging tho
knocker. kicking the door, and raising 3 row
generally; and above was the night-capped
head of the professor, vainly trying to make
himself heard above the din. Finally there
came lull. "What do you want?" called the
exasperated professor. want T. stay here all
night" said the student. "Well," said the
professor, if it'll do you any good, stay therei"
and he slammed down the window.
