Burmese Girls.

In every household the daughter has
her appointed work. In all but the rich
or merchants houses the daughters
duty is to bring the water from the well
evening and morning. 1t is the gossip
ing place Of the village, this well, and
as the sun sets there come running down
all the girls Of the village. As they fill
their jars they lean over the curb and
talk, and it is here that are told the lat
est news, the latest Irritation, the latest
marriage, the little scandal Of the place.
Very few men come. Water carrying is
not their duty, and there is q proper time
and place for Irritation. So the girls
have the we'll almost to themselves.
Almost every girl will weave. In ev-
cry house there will be o loom, where
the girls weave their dresses and those
Of their parents. And very many girls
will have stalls in the bazaar; but Of
this I will speak later. Other duties
are the husking Of the rice and the max.
ing Of cheroots. OF course in the richer
households there will DO servants to do
all this. but even in them the daughter
will frequently weave, either for her
self or for her parents. Almost every
girl will do something, II it be only to
pass the time.-Blackwood's Magazine.

PHILOSOPHICAL HRS. CORBETT.


While Corbett, the fistic champion
OF the United States, is training for his
encounter with Fitzsimmons, his wife
has been pressing her divorce suit.
The refree has reported that she is
entitled to divorce, it having been
proved that while the real Mrs. Corbett
was living quietly at home, Just as the
wife of Hercules did while he was
travelling over the world smashing peo-
pies faces and winning much glory
thereby, bogus Mrs. COrbett was going
around with the champion, sharing in
The welcomes rendered him and in the
laurels he won. The papers were full
OF accounts Of the affection the loving
couple displayed for one another. This
CALLED the genuine Mrs. COrbett.
The referee recommends also that tha
agreement entered into by Corbett and
his wife when they separated, by which
he agreed to pay her 500 a week for
life, be continued. SO she will be well
off as long as his strength and skill re-
main and he can knock out his oppon-
ents and continue to be the champion,
and therefore the eX-wife will continue
to take lively interest in his welfare
and TO pray that he may be victorious.
She is somewhat of a philosopher
The love she had for him has not turn
ed to hatred because he left her for an
other, or for several others. She makes
allowances for him. She can appreciate
the ptemptations which beset him and
all other strong men like Samson. Sui
Ivan, &c. The Roman ladies used to
run after the gladiators who were the
fashion, and the spouses of those glad
iators led jealous lives. AS it was then
so it is now. Mrs. Corbett says that
her husband was "beseiged with atten-
lions of women" and that mo one can
have the slightest idea of the number
of women who run after him" If the
private secretaries of prize fighters. for
they have private secretaries now, were
to make public tn correspondence OF
their employers it would be as inter-
esting reading as that Of some actors.
Mrs. Corbett did not expect impossi-
bic things of her husband and is not
surprised that he went astray. 1T
is not strange" says she, that so much
adulation should have turned jim S
head" He was too gallant to fly frons
the attentions with which he was be-
seiged But when he took up with
the woman who is named as co-respon-
dent and publicly passed her off as his
wife | could stand it no longer" Ger
tainly it must have been aggravating
to be asked by people of the place where
she was living, who this other Mrs.
Corbett was who was accompanying
the prize fighter, and she was quite
right in applying for a divorce and giv4
ing her husband a chance to wed the
other woman. Mrs. Corbett says she
hopes he may be very happy with her.
Perhaps she is in earnest.
The moral is that a woman who mar
ries prize fighter need not expect do
nestle happiness. She has to fight to
keep her husband after she has got
him. The husband, if he is the cham
pion, does not have an easy time of
it in trying to retain that position, but
she has still harder time of it in try
ing to retain him.-Chicago Tribune.

Democratic Friends OF silver to Hold "A
Meeting in Washington.
Memphis, Tenn, August Senator
Harris, on being asked concerning the
conference of bi-metallists to be held
in Washington August IA, said that let
tiers had been received from representa-
tives of about twenty-five States an

said, be a representative conference of
Democrats, and its action would be OF
the greatest Importance. 1t was in

thorough, complete and systematic or
ganization of the Democratic bi-metal-
lists within in the party with a view ID
influencing party action. Silver Demo-

City of Mexico August 3.-Twenty
masked robbers with American revol-
vers and muskets attacked eight mule
teers at Santa Cruz Thursday. The
robbers tied their victims hands and

Four bandits were left on guard while
the remainder went to attack the tray

nailed by the robbers posted on

ambushed, stripped naked and thrown
bound into a ditch. This went on until
the bandits secured thirty persons, all
of whom were shivering with cold in
the early morning and lay helpless in
the ditch. About o'clock in the after
noon a muleteer escaped and alarmed'
neighboring towns Troops were sent
to chase the bandits but the latter elu-
ded the authorities.
