Women in the Profession.

Hundreds OF cOllege-bred women
have been, and are, capably and eff
GENTLY engaged in teaching. and few
have gained certain distinction as
presidents and professors in colleges
for women, but no great and original
educator has come from among them.
Occasionally determined young grad
uate gets Il foOthold in IL newspaper
office, and usually keeps it with credit
to herself and her higher education.
yet the few women editors Of eminence
have not beeu college-bred, and there is
nothing to be gained by cohcealing the
fact that the college women who have
undertaken journalism seem, as yet, to
have had no influence In sweetening
the flood of sensational and nasty print
for which the newspaper women of the
country must bear their share of dis
credit with the newspaper men.
The number Of college women WHO
have taken up medicine is considerable
some Of them, no doubt, from a real
love OF science, and some for love OF
a career. While their work has been
able and their success undoubtcd, it IL
just to say that they have not contrib
uted originally to medical science.
There are a few women collegians in
law, in literature, in the pulpit and In
other professions, and their helpfulness
and enthusiasm have been especially
noticeable in educational and philan-
thropic work. In all these fields of use
fulness the work Of college women,
taken by and large" has been good.
honest, competent work, about like taat
of the average Industrious man; but it
has been derivative, not creative; COM
elemental, not brilliant; Offering little
opportunity for sex celebration on the
part of those enthusiasts who believe
that women have needed only diploma
and ballot to be brilliantly equipped
for conquering all the world that men
have left nquered.-Scrlbner's

Pete got down from the barrel amid

seemed to recover his senses, and, turn

still stood, discussing Lincoln's plan

A pleasant story telling

How still sit and listen
To the merry voice and song,
Until my moist eyes glsten,
At thoughts of days by-sone.

Interest ON Charity.

Baron James de Rothschild. being q
great lover Of art, consented at one
time to pose as beggar in a painting
which his friend, Eugene Delacroix,
was engaged on. This obliging act
was attended by twofold results, as
we learn from story which the Fam
lily Herald prints.
On the appointed day Baron de
Rothsch;ld appeared at the studio. The
famous painter placed a tunic round
the bankers shoulders, put a stout staff
in his hand, and made him pose as II
he were resting on the step Of an an.
cient Roman temple. In this attitude
he was discovered by one Of the artists
pupils, who, struck by the excellence Of
the model congratulated his master on
having found just what he needed.
Naturally concluding the model had
only just been brought In from some
church porch, the pupil seized an op-
portunity to slip piece Of money into
the beggars hand. Baron de Roths-
child thanked him with a look, and
kept the money. The pupil soon quit
ted the studio.
In answer to inquiries made, Della
croix told the baron that the young
man possessed talent, but no means.
Shortly afterward the young fellow re-
ceived a letter, stating that charity bore
interest, and that the accumulated in.
terest on the amount he had so gener,
ously given to one whom he supposed
to be beggar was now the sum of ten
thousand francs to the young artists
credit at Rothschilds'.

CHAPTER XIV.

i On the following afternoon, at a quar-
ter past six, Frank Armathwaite came
back to The Crags, and was shown
straight into the study where Lord Kill
DOMAIN, with long. dark travelling cloak
on the table beside him, was waiting. He
greeted the young man with warm grip
Of the hand and q rather grim smile.
"Ah, 70 you have not decided to desert
me, after ALL" he said in subdued voice,
with q sort Of cheerless satisfaction. "Are
you prepared to take journey with mey'
II nm prepared tn do whatever you
please, Lord Kudonah.'
AT that moment servant appeared and
informed his master that the phaeton was
e the door. He rose. and signed to Ar
mathwaite to pass out before him.
They went along the gallery, crossed the
hall, and got into the phaeton in perfect
silence. It came into Armathwaite's mind
~ they drove along rapidly in the dark
ness that this mournful and mysterious
Journey was like q pilgrimage to fetch
home the dead. They skirted the head of
the lake and went fast along the other
side.
It was q cold night, but very clear.
Franks eyesight was good enough for
him to make out that vehicle some dis
lance ahead Of them, and going in the
same direction, was Crosmont's Norfolk
cart. It stopped, with very sudden
puN up, to allow a figure that seemed to
spring suddenly from the wayside to &c,
Ia. Frank told Lord Kildonan in a low
voice what he saw, and obeyed his direc-
t;on to drive more slowly. The pause
made By the vehicle in front was the short
est possible; still, acting under Lord Kill
donan's instructions, Frank allowed the
distance between them to increase until

NO PROSPECTIVE DAMAGES.
Point Gained by the United states on
Boring Sea Claims.

The State Department officials have made
the following statement in regard to the
judgment of the British-American seal
commission:
THE award of the Boring sea claims
commission has been filed in the Depart
ment of State. The claims as presented by
the British government TO the commission
on account of Canadian vessels seized in
Boring aggregated. with interest, ST.
100000. These included. under the claims
treaty, several cases not embraced in the
Settlement proposed by Secretary Gresham.
Tie award now made amounts to $2gi,-
1871, TO which is to be added interest,
which will increase the total about 20 per
cent. The award is final and disposes of
all cases before it. Payment under the
treaty must lie made within six months"
The departmental officials will prepare a
bill, or an amendment to one of the regular
appropriation bills for submission to Con-
gress, covering the necessary appropria-
ton to pay the judgments.
1t is said that the United States carried
its point on the main question involved.
viz, as to the right of prospective damages
for sealskins which might have been taken
IL the vessels had not been seized. The
British claim included these estimated prof
its. which in the aggregate ran the claims
up to high figure. Intimations are given
pc ssibility of any allowance having been
made on acc punt of prospective damages.
The Alabama claims commission establish
ed the precedent that remote damages could
not be included in a claim. and the present
award Is evidently on the same line

wARsHIPS IN PRIME CONDITION,
Repairing Vessels of the North
Atlantic Fleet.

A statement prepared at the Navy De-
to prepare the vessels of the North Attain
tic fleet for active service in the south this
winter, being two-thirds of the total ap-
preparation for the repair and mainten-
ance of the entire navy during the present
fiscal year. A deficiency will undoubtedly
result, and it is expected that Secretary
Long will bring the matter to the attention
Of Congress Immediately after the recess.
Chief Constructor Hichborn estimates
that the repair work Under his department
by the end of the fiscal year will have re-
quired an expenditure of over $2,oU.600.
two-thirds of which has already been ex-
pended The vessels, he says, as a re-
suit of the attention given them, are now
in prime condition, and next year. save
for the increase in the fighting strength,
which will follow through the completion
of more vessels and torpedo boats, the
money necessary for maintaining The navy
in fighting condition should not be greatly
increased.
He estimates that, even with the vast
amount Of money already expended on
ships, there are now three, each of which
will require $l0oOOo repair work. and a
fourth will soon be coming home demand
ing attention to a similar extent. The
Philadelphia at Mare Island will require
each slO0.OO0 before they are again sent to
sea. The Ranger is another vessel upon
which the government must eXpend a larg
sum before she can possibly become avail
able again.

The Marietta Rode the Gale Well.

The Navy Department has received a re-
port from Commander F. NJ Symonds of
the gunboat Marietta, describing the ex-
perience of the vessel in a cyclone during
her trip from Sitka, Alaska, to San Fran
cisco. The commander says the seas were
very heavy, and one came aboard, smash
ing some of the brass stanchions. The ves-
sci was then brought up into the wind and
hove to, attached to a sea anchor or drag.
in this position she took the big seas hand
somely, shipping nothing more than spray
over her bows. Altogether the commander
expresses the greatest admiration for the
Marietta's qualities.
