falling tonight, and reports from the
mountains show that all the streams are
rising. The stage from Sonora did not

come to some low lands.

THE FLOODS IN QUEENSLAND.
As the Water Falls Terrible Damage
is Revealed.

BRISBANE, Feb. S.-The water is still
falling slowly. Ruin and desolation is
revealed as the flood abates beyond any
thing caused by the last great flood in
1880. The suburbs of the city are almost
annihilated. South of the river the city
is still submerged. In the higher parts
OF the city, where the waters are receding,
many buildings collapsed, and most of
the others were damaged beyond hope OF
repair.
The provincial towns suffered as
severely as Brisbane. Every hour brings
fresh cases OF villages submerged, lives
lost, houses wrecked and bridges swept
away. The loss of life is very heavy, but
no approximate estimate of the mum Der
drowned is yet possible.

Forty-four Persons Die of the Scoure

in One Day at Marseilles.
PARIS, Feb. S. - Forty-four persons
died in Marseilles to-day of choleric dis
ease. Nine of the cases were suspiciously
like Asiatic cholera. The physicians
appointed to make special investigation
of the disease are unable so far to make a
satisfactory diagnosis. 4 microscopic ex-
animation failed to reveal the presence of
comma bacilli. Some physicians are in
clined to the belief that the disease is
intestinal influenza. The disease is con-
fined to tie filthiest districts, where the
sanitation is in deplorable condition.
A later dispatch from Marseilles says
despite the gravity of the situation. no
signs of a panic have manifested as yet
The Board of Health is assuring all in
quiries that the disease is not cholera,
add will be checked before Saturday.

SALEM Orr, Feb. 6.-Governor PEN
noyer this afternoon vetoed the bill ap-
propriating 100000 feA Worlds Fair ex-
hibit. He said: "a departure from the
one safe rule that the taxation of the peo-
pie by the Government should be strictly
limited to its honest administration in
the exercise of necessary govern
mental functions, would open wide
the door for public speculation at
the expense of private thrift, and if
once sanctioned our State Government
would soon become what the Federal
Government for more than a quarter
of century has been, most effective
instrumentality for the robbery of the
taxpayer for the benefit of the boodlers."

A WOMAN's PLACE.
Mrs. Field on the Money Making
Mission Of Her Sex.
A Problem Of the Future-Some Present
Tendencies May Yet Eject . Social
Observation-Disclosures and So.
cial Life with Women.
iCopYRIGHr. 1881


It is with difhdence that comply
with a request for my views of woman's
sphere in business. The whole matter
is so new to me that my opinions can
hardly possess the weight of expert
ence. l shall therefore consider the
topic in connection with those more
practical aspects of money making
with which l have already become
familiar.
A thoughtful business woman must
be both amused and vexed upon read
ing such utterances as those with which
distinguished English social econo-
mist begins profound chapter head
ed: 1.-The Problem of Woman" Are
women made less refined" asked this
learned gentleman, ARE their sensi-
bilities blunted, do they become less
womanly when their capacities are ex-
ercised in barter and sale? What 9TH
zeal and intellectual effects are pro-
duced by the counting-room and the
Officer" Mr.. Philosopher seems TO be
unaware that countless women have
no refinement to lose-that thousands
of others carry their own goodness
with them everywhere, to permeate
and improve whatever they come in
contact with.
have heard that business life IS sur
prisingly like social life. Much de-
ponds upon keeping up appearances.
Not very brilliant discovery, perhaps,
but from woman's point of view it
means much. 1t shows that just as
great general once made a wilderness
and called it peace, modern men have
constructed gigantic juggernaut and
called it business. If | were obliged to
decide wherein woman's influence in
business could be made potent for
good, l should say: Let her introduce
little more genuineness into it.
For instance, we are all familiar with
the aged merchants dictum, that the
clever trader is he who sells not what
people want but what they don't want.
/ know of one immense concern, deal
ing in articles l have occasion to buy,
but in the sale of which there is an abb
surd amount of expensive sham. If
women managed that establishment it
would not be so. There would be
more duectness, greater generosity in

women can manage details far more

women can manage details far moro
successfully than a man.
Have found business life destr uctive
asked. l suppose this means does busi-
ness make women harsh, sordid and
unsympathetic? On the contrary,
think women who earn their bread are
more cultured, refined and gentle than
their sisters. For what is business
but means of devoting its profits to
ones own ends? And if a woman be
naturally superior the money she earns
will contribute to her development and
elevation.
And she will lift up others. too
For when woman succeeds in
business does she not give employment
to others, just like man? But there
is this difference: The woman is ten
der and sympathetic She is capa~
BILE of interesting herself in the peo-
pie who earn their bread by toiling
for her. She can see what is to their
good far better than any man. The
odd quality OF character which makes
a man one being in his Office and an
other creature entirely outside of it is
no part of a wo1nan's nature For q
woman is always a woman. She takes
pleasure in the happiness of others
and she does not define business bv
saying it is business. At the risk Of
seeming reckless of words. viii say,
