Women ns Drummers.
Albany Argus : A few years since , when
the business community was startled by
the innovation of women ns traveling
salesmen , it was argued that they
would bo a success , na they could n ot
fill the ninny social obligations required
to sell large nmouiUH. An experience cf
two or three yonrs. however , has given
Wio matter nn entirely different aspect.
It is found that the lady drummer makes
an impression on the country merchant ,
especially in thn west , where the male
member of the fraternity would fail. A
commercial ninn of largo experience says
the moclmnts will hold their orders for
the liuiy drummer , even though a do/.on
of their own sox oiler nnd beg to fill them
on advantageous terms.
Again , they nro always in need of
something when the lady drummer calls ,
while wlfh the man It is more often
"nothing to-day , " The 'success of the
women drummers is much more marked
with the merchants of the opposite sex
than with their own. Women in trade
dp not usually take kludly lo women as
commercial travelers and it has been
suggested that in the future , when every
thing is "down line , " women will bo em
ployed exclusively to soil to the mon nml
the men to take orders iroin the women
in trade ; but as only a small proportion
of merchant and traders are of the gentle
eox it is obvious that when that day
corner , if it overdoes , the Indies will hare
n practical monopoly of the business , as
the mules do now , und the men must
then iiiij something else to do.

Hloh New Vork Women.
The New York correspondent of the
Philadelphia Itceont writes ; I nm every
day astonished at the wealth of this city.-
We nro supposed to know at least the
names of the millionaires , ornt nny rate
people whoso fortunes amount to inoro
: lian a million or two ; but wo do not
know the half of them , nml the number
ot wealthy women in New York is past
belief. I know a lady whom nobody
ever heard of outside of her own circle
of acquaintance who has $ , " ,000OvO of
her own. 1 known another lady who
has $3,000,000 ; of another , recently dead ,
with from $5,0 0,000 to 10,000,000. Those ,
of course , not including the well known
wealthy widows such as the Into Mrs.
A. T. Stewart , the Widow Hiimmcrflley ,
Mrs. May and a dozen others. The china
nnd household ornaments of the Widow
McCrosky were sold at auction this wok.
There was nothing very striking about
the collection , though it was an expensive
one. Widow McCrosky loaves about six
million dollars , a largo part of which is
invested in the Chemical National bank.
Mrs. McCrosky got in when the shares
were at par. Now a share that originally
cost S1W ( Is worth $2,500 ; so if Mrs. Mc
Crosky had n/fow hundred shares in this
bank her income would have been a great
deal larger than one would have thought ,
taking the ordinary percentage which
nowadays seems to bo live.
I know another lady in Now York who
has $5.000,000 of her own , $2,000,000 of
which she will settle upon her daughter
if her daughter marries to please her. If
the daughter does not Ifshetnkes it into
her head to run on" with the coachman
she will bo cut oV ( with n shilling ; at least
that is what her mother says now. It is
not generally given out that the mother
is going to make this marriage settlement
on her daughter. If It wore I think she
would have an embarrassment of suitors.
Two million dollars is a good deal to sot-
tie upon a bride moro in fact than is
wise but I think it much bettor for
wealthy parents lo give their children a
dowry when they marry than to give
them nothing until their death , when the
property is divided. The idea of mar
riage settlements , which as a general
thing is repugnant to Americans , is not
a bad one. It makes a woman independ
ent and it makes it possible for her to
marry a poor man who might oe a much
hotter husband for her than a richer one.
When young men or young women have
been brought up surrounded by every
luxury at home , and then get married
and are obliged to live as though they
wore in straitened circumstances , when
they know at the death of their parents
they are going to have all the money
they want , It makes thorn , I fear , look
forward to the death of their parents
with feelings akin to resignation. If at
their marriage a good round sum of
money were settled upon them , I think
the oiled would bo more satisfactory
than is found in anticipation.
Speaking of rich women , Mrs. Fred
erick Stevens , whoso marriage to the
Marquis do Talleyrand has excited so
much talk in fashionable circles , is one
of the richest. Her yearly income is
$300,000 , and she gets the creator part of
this from the Chemical National bank ,
in which she is one of the largest stock
holders. Her father , 1 believe , was one
of the founders of the bank. Mrs
Stevens'relations ' with the Marquis do
Talleyrand have been of a scandalous
nature for a number of years. The mar
quis , as well as Mrs. Stevens , was mar
ried , and has a wife , a Boston woman ,
nnd a family of children. He is a bril
liant man , but is extremely unpleasant
to look at. nnd is an inveterate gambler.
But Mrs. Stevens became enamored of
him and gave up husband , homo and
children and followed hiui through
Europe. She came back from abroad a
few mouths ago and went to live at Newport -
port , that she might take advantage of
the loose divorce laws of the state of
Rhode Island. 'There she got a divorce
granted her on the plea of non-support.
Her husband made no objection , and
after obtaining n div9rco she went back
to Paris anil married the Marquis do
Talleyrand , who in the meantime had
become divorced from his wife , on what
ground I do not know. Perhaps she got
the divorce from him , which she might
easily have done.
Now anything moro absurd than .this
nloa of non-support on the part of Mrs.
Slovens could hardly bo imagined. Mrs.
Stevens is the daughter of a wealthy mer
chant of Now York city by the name of
Sampson , who had more money than so
cial positionand who was possessed with
an ambition to got into society , or at
least to get his daughter in. Lrcdurick.
Slovens was a young lawyer of limited
practice but high social position , and in
him Mr. Sampson saw his opportunity.
The match was one of convenience , but
It was a love match as well. Mr. Stevens
was anxious to go on with his business ,
but father-in-law Sampson would not
listen to it. Ho made him rctiro from the
practice of the law , and told him ho
would lind all the business he wanted
taking care of his wife's estate. Mr.
Stevens hesitated at first , but the oiler
was n tempting ono , and ho finally ac
cepted It as n matter of course , and ho
did look closely after his wife's affairs ,
and they were supposed to bo a happy
couple as couples go ; and they were , I
believe , until the Marquis Do Talleyrand
appeared upon the scene. Mrs. Stevens
no sooner rested her eyes noon his ugly
little face than she lost her head , and for
got not only common decency , but all the
instincts of a wife and mother.

"llul" ho soliloquized. "I'll go in and

Ho entered and was waited on by the
young lady's father.
"What can I do for you ? "
"I want to get a key for my wateh , "
he stammered , feasting his oycs on the
young lady.
"Lot mo see your watch. " said the
watchmaker
As if in a dream he took out his watch.
The watchmaker examined it and said ,
with surprise ;
' 'Why your watch is a stem-winder. "
Ho doesn't remember how he got out ,
but ho docs remember that the young
lady laughed.

of the regular boarders , hanging on the
edge of the counter. "There's a man up

lloss , in terrified accents. "How do you
know ? " said the Regular , with excited
interest. "Why , ho sent for mo to
come up to his room ; that ho was sick. I
went and found him choking , his throat
parched and dry , and calling feebly for
something to drink. I gave him a glass
of ice water , and when ho saw it , ho
jumped wildly up , knocked it out of my
hand , nnd looked ns if ho were going to

niul shook his head ominously , while
Ross stood irresolute and trembling.
"Who is ho ? " finally inquired the Regu

sponded Ross. The Regular's face un
derwent a great change. . "And you gave

amazement. "Oh , Ross , Ross , will you

toward the sick man's room , leaving a
cold and heartless smile for poor Ross.

PAPER BARRELS.
Successful Adaptation of Pulp to an
Important Industry.
Now York Tribune : The growing
scarcity of the timber supply has given
nso to the serious question of how to
produce packages for oil , liquors and
similar substances which will meet the
demands of the market. This question
has at Uilierent times during the
last twenty years led to various at
tempts to produce a paper barrel
which would answer all the purposes for
which the wooden barrel is used. These
attempts , however , have been attended
with no practical success until recently ,
when a barrel was produced from paper
pulp which seems destined to supersede
the wooden article. Us general appear
ance is that of the common wooden bar
rel thickly varnished , while only live
pieces are used in making it. It is bound
with ordinary wooden hoops , and the
head Is of ono piece , so constructed that
it fits Into the barrel air-tight and is held
firmly in place by a hoop without ( ho use

There are nuMf/on ; other excellent

On January 25Tuamas Dougherty , tha
chief Hour inspector of the Now York
produce exchange , certilled that ho had
inspected 1 0 barrels of Hour which had
been shipped from'u distance in these
paper barrels and had found them to bo
all sound. It generally happens when
Hour is shipped in wooden barrels that n
Quantity ot it sifts through the cracks
where tlio staves join and is lost. It was
found by weighing the Hour shipped in
paper barrels that nouo of it had been
lost in thin manner.
The inventors of this process for mak
ing these barrels say that the woods and
rank grasses which grow 911 the meadows
lying between Jersey City and Newark
will produce an excellent pulp for this
purpose , and that thus these practically
waste lauds may bo made productive and
profitable. The cost of manufacturing
the paper barrels Is no greater than tlmt
of making the wooden article , und with
the patented machine it is said that two
men nan produce ( XX ) barrels la a day.

Where JItifllmmU nro CoiiBlilornte.
Atlaiitu Uonslitiition : If a girl must
marrv , and a Brooklyn man conies along ,
wo adVise her to take him.
In Brooklyn husbands know their
duties , and when they full to conio up to
tlio mark they acknowledge their short
comings and clamor for punishment ,
Take a recent caso. A young man ap
peared in a 'Brooklyn court , the other
day , and asked the judge to have him ar
rested. Ills honor demanded an expla
nation , and the visitor stated that ho had
been guilty of cruelty to his wifu. When
pressed for particulars lie said that while
he had not beatun his wife or neglected
her for tiio llowing bowl , ho haa been
cruel to her from a financial standpoint.
In other words , ho had not gtvnn her
money enough to properly support her.
Further questioning developed the fact
that his wife had preferred no charge
against him. After thinking the matter
over tlio juclgo bogged the young mun to
go homo and give himself another trial.
The advice was accepted and the culprit
loft the court room.
Now taking it for granted tlmt this
young man was an average Brooklyn
husbanJ. the case is rich in suggestions.
Let a wife have a proper amount of linn-
ness and enterprise , and it is plain that
such a husband would bo a bonanza to
her. if these soft hearted Brooklyn men
do not como into great demand all over
the country it will be because our girls
are not looking after their interests. The
incident is full of encouragement. It
gives us glimpses of the model husband
of the future.
French niarrlnccs.
London Truth : It is curious how
French grandees , who have really no ad
vantage to win by glaring nubJicitycourt
it. One sees this most perhaps , in their
weddings. The rule seems to be faire
autant d'cnvicux as possible. Everything
the bride receives from her family or
friends is exhibited. There arc cxnibi-
bitions of her trousseau at the warerooms -
rooms of the different trades people who
have furnished it. Everything is on view
no matter how it may bo named or to
what use it is destined , and the public
are apprised througji the journals in re
clames paid for at the rate of 25 francs a
line , where the things nro on exhibi
tion. All the modes gather nround
the tables , nnd shallow and
elegantly ribboned baskets in which the
intimate clothing is laid out. The demi
monde never falls to visit a show of this
kind. English lingcrcs have rot the as
tonishing skill in getting up body linen
in which there isnolhing but a very small
allowance of cambric , and a very largo
allowance of fine Valenciennes. There
is then the body "liners , " made of tussore
or foulard silks and lace and ribbon.
You see it all in costly trousseau. It used
to bo the tiling for brides of high lineage
to have qtiakc.r-liko underclothing , but
under the full blaze of journalism it has
gone out , and is now thought old-fash
ioned and no credit to anyone.
The grand exhibition is at the matinee
do contr.it , to which only relatives , ac
quaintances and the press are invited.
The journalists are requested to note the
"objects do picto" on the brido's gift
table ; that iswhen they are in sumptuous
or very artistic settings. For instance , a
scrap of the veil in which the Virgin
was churched , or an atom of the crown
of thorns set in a jeweled reliquary , is an
object to bo proud of. The prayer book
should bo iu the style of Anne do
Brotagno's. ' Nothius nppnars bettor

Should Literary People Marry ?
Chicago Times : It in not a now ques
tion n B to the advisability of marriage on
the part of people who depend wholly on
their brains for their support , anil it is
quite possible that all tljoi'o If , to bo snid
. .Lioiil It ling been salil over and over
ngain. It is , however , a subject of over-
present Interest , a fact which may justify
Bomn further allusions ,
In ono of the great religious denom
inations it was found , after a long ex
perience in the case of its priests , that
celibacy wns conducive to the produc
tion of higher results than marriage ,
nnd therefore the former condition was
ndoptod and made obligatory , The
reasons for the enforcement of a celibate
life were few but potent ; tlio cares of n
family interfered with the performance
of duty , The husband nnd father had
little opportunity to net us a priest ; If ho
excelled in the ono capacity , he failed iu
tha other.
Literature tins its priesthood , whoso
ministrations uro us vital , ns important
"and us imperative In their demands as
those of any religious denomination.
More so , in fact , for literature embodies
in its extent all that is valuable in human
progress , divine intent and action ; it as
sists in tnu development of all the bene
ficial efforts of humanity , and records
and preserves iu proceedings.
To perfectly perform this colossal , del
icate and unending labor , and to do it
well , requires on the part of Its servants
a singleness of purpose , a clearness of
thought , an oxactnens in judgment which
can not exist whore the external Influ
ences are permitted to Intermingle. I ho
priest who ministers at the altar of litera
ture rumt devote his , entire thought , her
devotion , to the shrine nt which ho wor
ships. Ho cannot , in the sacred precincts
of ( no sanctuary , turn aside to haggle
over the price of poultry , to cheapen tuo
cost of fuel , to wrangle over the outlay
for laundry work or the monthly stipend
of domestic service.
The literary man and woman are ut
terly tinliko everybody else ; they have
their special tomporamcnts.thcir individ
ual idiosyncrasies , their peculiar methods
of thought , their positive symjmthies.aml
dislikes. To voko n man of this kind
with an ordinary woman is not only to
impair his capability to carry on bis
work , but it U to fasten on him n life of
wretchedness. The same is true of the
literary woman. Ally her to the average
ninn , nnd she is at once provided with n
ball and chain which she must drag nt
every stop of her progress. While neither
the literary man or woman can , with
benefit , marry outside of the prolesslon ,
it Is moro dangerous and deleterious to
mnrry within U. The most undesirable
of unions nro those in which two literary
people resort to marriage , the cnso of the
Brownings to.tho contrary notwithstand
ing. Where there hns been ono instance
of Browninglsm In matrimony there have
been a thousand cases in which the direct
opposite has been the result.
The explanation is very simple. A
husband nnd wife ilovotcu to literature
clash eternally on tlio same piano. It is
n case of nn encounter of the invincible
and the irresistible. The essential dill'er-
encos of sex begot irreconcilable antagon
ism ; the respective ideals projected by
each necessarily difior as do masculine
strength and feminine delicacy. They
can not agree ; it is n union without af
finity , a mechanical composition without
cohesion iu the particles. In the in
stance of literary niou and women who
mnrry outside of their domain , there is
often more happiness to bo found than
within , and vet the rtilo Is that such
unions are disastrous. Ills especially so
with women of brains who select a part
ner from out of the masses ; there nro
morodivorced literary women in existence
than there are wives of the same pro
fession This class of woman , if she
marries ono of iier kind.occks for inlellcc-
tuul domination over her husband ; if she
secures it , she despises him for his weak
ness ; if she loses it , she hates him as a
tyrant.
The literary husband with n wife not
m sympathy with him is rarely happy ,
and never able to accomplish the complete -
ploto intellectual results that he would if
unincumbered by such a burden. Ho is
demoralized by domestic wrangles , and
want of sympathy , and Incensing con
tact with the commonplace. In view of
all these facts , it is best that the literary
people should determine on celibacy.
To marry is to commit intellectual hara-
knri ; to diminish largely the utility of n
life's services , nnd to add vastly to the
unhnppincss of tlio participants.
HE LASSOED A HUGE LION.
A Cowboy's Terrible KUlo With a
Screaming Panther.
"Last summer , while in Wyoming , I
had a decidedly startling adventure , " re-
mnrkcd n youli man the other day in the
presence of a bun Francisco Cull repor
ter. And subsequently , upon being ques
tioned by the latter , he told the following
remarkable but well-authenticated tale :
I was in the employ of a cattle com
pany in short "a cowboy" and besides
n natural love of adventure , which I hnd
gratified for several years , hnd , no doubt ,
imbibed some of that spirit of utter reck
lessness which characterizes the class of
which I was , lor the time being , a mem
ber. Early ono bright morning my em
ployer sent me out to look lor some
horses which had strayed , ho thought ,
somewhere in the vicinity of Lance creek
( about 200 miles north of Cheyenne ) , only
a few miles from whore wo were then
camped.
Mounted on my stout little broncho , or
"cow pony , " I soon reached the crock ,
and rode slowly along its banks , keeping
n sharp lookout for tlio missing animals.
The banks of the creek wore fringed
with cottonwood and poplar trees , inter
mingled with clumps of osiers and a
dense undergrowth , but on either side
the country was open but hilly. Expe
rience had taught mo to bo susirfcious of
any trco or bush in that section largo
enough to ambush a human being ; for ,
to say nothing of the white desperadoes ,
Sioux and Cheyenne Indians from the
Pine Ridge agency were frequently met
with , and , though professedly at peace ,
were not to bo trusted. Consequently , as
I rode along , I from time to time peered
anxiously in among the trees nnd under
brush.
I had followed the course of the creek
several miles when suddenly my pony
snorted and jumped ( o one side , almost
unseating mo. Perhaps ten paces in
front of mo , crouched ns if ready to
spring , were three large mountain lions.
I had always had a. great desire to meet
ono of these creatures in his native
wilds ; but this was u trillo too much of n
good thing to suit mo. Without a sec
ond's thought , however , I whipped out
my Colt's revolver the only wenpon I
had and lircd at the group. At the re
port of my pistol two of thorn bounded
oil' through the underbrush niul wore
soon out of sight , and the other , uttering
a shrill scream , writhed for a second on
the ground and then attempted to follow
his companions , limping badly.
My blood was up ; two of the fine crea
tures had taken flight nnd without reflec
ting upon the possible consequences I
put spur to my pony nnd dashed after
the wounded lion. Moving so rapidly I
knew it would bo impossible to shoot
with accuracy , and there was grent dan
ger of the lion turning upon mo if I approached
preached too near. .Suddenly it Hashed
through my mind. M hy can't I Jnsso
him as I have heard of gnucbos doing on
the pampas ?
Attached to my saddle wns my braided
rnwhidu lasso , about forty feet in length ,
in the USQ of which I hmf , as every cow
boy must , become quite proficient , OHO
end of It was firmly attached to the pom
mel of my saddle , and the remainder of
it carefully coiled up , was tied to the
front of the saddle by means of a couple
of rawhide strings or thongs. Hastily
unfastening the latter without chock
ing my pony which wustsvidontly much
excited , nnd Inclined to sheer nway fronj
the lion 1 prepared for the tl t ; '
work of a moment. Carefully measuring
the distance with my eye , I whirled the
lasso several times around my head nnd
at what seemed the proper moment let
fly. The instant it left my hnnd my
pony , ns ho hnd been trained , stopped
and brncod back , almost upon his
haunches. My calculations had been
correct.
1 saw the rope settle around the lion's
ncok and the next instant , when ho
reached the end of it , and tightening , It
threw him on his back , ho uttered the
most appalling scream it was ever my lot
to hear. The instant the rope became
talit you may bo sure 1 did rot waste
nny time I wheeled my pony in the op
posite direction ; dug rny spurs into his
side , ami darted awny , dragging the lion
after me. That , I am sure , was the most
exciting moment of my life. I did not
stop to look back. 1 simply dnjj the
spura into my pony's Hanks , knowing if
I relaxed my speed if for a instant , the
lion might spring upon me. Even as it
was I realized that at any moment I
might feel the creature's sharp claws in
my back ; and the particular manner In
which n mountain lion is said to kill ( by
drawing back the head of its victim with
ono paw until the neck Is broken ) happened <
penod at this moment to occur to mo. It
was not , strictly speaking , a cheering
reflection.
At the commencement of the mad gal
lop when on govern ! occasions the lasso
slackened , owing lo the huge bounds the
creature took , I shuddered and crouched
In tny saddle , fonrlnR thnt the next nun"
ute might bo my lost. For ntlmc ! my captive
tivo rent the nlr with his cries , which so
frightened my pony thnt I soon snw thai
I need not urge him ; ho was doing his
level best ,
Soon thr * scronmlng grow less frequent
nud finally ceased altogether , nnd 1
noticed with satisfaction thnt the lasso
remained perfectly taut nil the time. I
then for the first time looked back nnd
from nppcnrnnoos concluded thnt my
captive wns dond , I had , however , us
can porhnps bo imagined , a strong tie
sire to mnko assurance doubly sure , and
rode some distance further before stop

Tolejirnph Operators' Secrets.
Electric AgoEvery : | telegrapher will tell
you how operators quarrel over the wire.
The men who nro the most quiet nnd gen
tlemanly In their personal relations uro
sometimes the most disagreeable to work
with. It is so easy , you know , to call a
man n fool when several hundred miles
of wire separate you , nnd , besides , the
fear of the consequences is very slight.
I ehnli never forgot nu amusing fight I
once heard between an operator at Xeuln ,
Ohio , and another at Cincinnati. After
onch had exhausted his vocabulary of
billingsgate the operator at Cincinnati
suddenly subsided nnd refused to con
tinue tlio contest , whereupon Xoiiin
snapped out :
"mint's the diflV.rcnco between you
nnd a jnoknss ? " Quick us a Hash came
the reply : "Just sixty miles. Give mo a
harder one. "
"Is it true , " asked ono of the bystand
ers , "that nn operator's mood may bo
determined by his manner of using the
key ? "
"Beyond a doubt , " wns the reply. "If
you have been in the habit of working
rcgulnrlv with n man you can toll before
you 'exchange half a dozen messages
whether ho is feeling fresh and buoyant ,
tired or lazy or out of sorts by his man
ner of transmission. There is us much
individuality about a man's sending us
about his penmanship , and ho can bo as
readily distinguished by it. A case in
point is related by Alf Savillo , who
worked ono of the Kovornmcnt wires be
tween Nashville and Louisville during
the war. One day , while the wires wore
idle , some ono at an intermediate station
called at the Nashville ollico and began
asking Savillo a number of questions
about the movement of troops and other
matters connected with the army. Be
fore two minutes Savillo recognized his
man.
' " 1 say , George Ellsworth , what the
devil are you doing there ? " flashed Sa-
villc , cutting into the middle of a sen
tence. There was a moment's pause ,
und then came the answer slow and
hesitatingly :
" 'I 'cut in * on the wire two days ago ,
and have secured a good deal of information
mation , but I might have got moro if I
had only kept my mouth ( key ) shut.
Good-by , Alf. I am going. ' There was
a sudden click of the wire , and then the
circuit closed.
"Ellsworth was the celebrated con
federate operator who accompanied John
Morgan in his raids through Kentucky
nnd Ohio. Savillo and ho had worked
together before the war , and had become
familiar with each other's stylo. "
