Women Butchers of Paraguay.

For a most strange reason all of the
butchers of Paraguay are women. and
there many occupations invariably as
sumed elsewhere by the sterner sex
fall to the lot of the women. The
cause of this state of things is the he
roic war waged by Paraguay more
than thirty years ago against the over
whelming forces of Brazil. the Argen-
tine republic and Uruguay combined.
This war, which lasted five years. bore
many singular points of resemblance
to the recent Boer war. 1t ended in
the almost total humiliation of the
able-bodied male population of the
country, and the result may be read in
the following figures: Population of
Paraguay in 1851 l,337,439; in 1873
(thrce years after the termination of
the war; it amounted to only 221,079,
and of these nearly all were women,
children and very old mcr.

LlNCOLN'S DISPATCHES.
why Many of Them Were Dated
From the War Department.

Surprise is often expressed by very
intelligent people that so large pro
portion OF President Lincoln's most i'm
portant telegrams and some Of his let.
tiers are dated from the war depart
ment instead of the executive mansion
and none of them from the navy, treas
ury or other administrative bureaus.
This is generally deemed very singu-
lar fact. and from ii writers have
plausibly drawn the conclusion that
Lincoln personally liked the secretary
OF war better than any of the other
cabinet officers. While this indeed ap-
pears to have been true. II does not nee.
essarily so follow. He certainly held
Mr.. Seward in high regard. yet he sci.

In the circumstances II was not at all
singular. The explanation is easy. War
was the business of that time. and Lin
coins eyes were always bent to the
army. especially when great military
events were impending. He habitually
haunted the adjacent war department
and army headquarters, where abode
General Halleck. his military adviser

were strenuously concentrated on the
