LATCH KEYS FOR WOMEN.
One Of the Last Male Perqulsltss Seized
by the Bachelor Girl.

One Of the Last Male Perquisitas sefze0
by the Bachelor Girl.
Latch keys have ceased to be male
peruuisite since the old-fashioned spin
ster has been replaced by the, bachelor
maid. The bachelor girl is nothing II
not determined, and so she has adopt
ed one OF the last remaining articles
that man could call his own. When
the key came the pocket had to come
with it. of course, and now it is cut in
the back of the dress skirt very near
the belt line and with bic OF flap
over it TO conceal the fact that coat
tail Is missing. And thus it Is that
the freed woman goes on her way, con-
scious that she may at least enter her
own doors at all sorts of coveted and
fascinating hours without arousing
everyone from the butler to the aged
grandparent who "disapproves." When
the pocket came the hey chain had to
follow in its wake and, behold, from
a button proudly sewn to the tailor
girls "weskit" hangs the jewelers. de-
vice, for she has not been emancipat-
ed long enough to leave on sterling
silver and take to plain nickel plate.
When the bachelor girl went into bust
ness she was forced into some Of the
needs of man and some Of his pa
tented rights had to come to her. and so
there came the key ring, in the train
of the key and chain, and there was
another chance for the smithy to turn
out pieces of artistic Workmanship.
They are oftener heart-shapet wires
of silver, solid and widea So 1t seems
that woman never gets so new that
she cannot carry hearts around. Other
designs are serpents and over their
spring-set tails 60 the door key, the
mail box key, the escritoire key and
all the rest of the lot that used to..be
always "amorg the missing" And
now the bachelor maid is free from
care unless she forgets chain and ring
and keys. 1879 li !. VIZ

Owned by Colored peoplc.

Baltimore Sun: The only cotton
mill in the country, 1t is claimed,
owned exclusively by colored people, is
now approaching completion at Con-
cord, N. c., and the last brick will be
laid before the close of the present
year. The mill is to have from 1000
to 10000 spindles and from $50 to $50
looms. The building is a handsome
three-story brick structure. 12O feet
long and so feet wide. Besides the
main building there are also engine and
boiler houses and tower for water
purposes. 1t is expected the mill will
be put in operation by the LIST of April.
The colored people of Wilmington
alone have put $4,000 in the mill. which
promises to be monument TO the en-
terpr.se and thrift of the co.ored PEG
pie of the old north state.
