Society has again suffered total relapse.

Many nro waiting for more genial weather , and no less than three large parties nro already announced for next month. These will bo on the order of out-door fo'vcs , which , by their charm Jng informality , will probably rekindle a spark of animation in the satiated so ciety roundors and induce a certain amount of alacrity in the flagging season. Never have the disciples of fashion be trayed such a tendency to backsliding , nor evinced so manifest an inclination for rational pursuits.Vith ncnndor foreign to their creed they admit their main nrn- bition is after nil a bore and n humbug ging illusion. Mrs. WooUvorth'a Muslcnle. On Thursday evening , April 28 , the doors of beautiful Cortlnndt the residence of lion. James M. Woolworth will bo thrown open to Omaha society. The occasion will bo a "soiree musicalo" for the benefit of All Saints' church. Through the energies otMrs. Wbolworth , the at tendance of several prominent musicians have been secured ; among .whom may be mentioned the popular lyric artist , Mrs. Amy ShcrwinGorlitz , who will visit Omaha en route to her Australia homo , and Johann Rhodes , the well known Violinist. Mr. Martin Calm will act as accompanist to the prima donna , and the voices of Mrs. Gunkel and the Mendels sohn quartette will grace the occasion. Invitations have been issued , nnd those receiving them can secure tickets to the musi- cnle at the Excelsior ollico for the sum of | 1. The cause is a good one , and there is no doubt but what Omaha society will take advantage of the opportunity to enjoy a first class social treat and at the same time contribute to a worthy ooject.

Paris Correspondence London Tele graph : The once famous novelist Paul Fcval. whoso career and works bear a : on.suicrable resemblance to those of the | atc Captain Mnyno Reid , died recently in the monastery of the Brothe.rs of St. John of God , whither he had retired after a busy life. During the past ten or twolv'o years the novelist had boon .the victim of pecuniary difficulties , principally owing to his having speculated in the Ottoman loan. He had aNo a large family to pro vide for. M. Feval was a barrister at Bettiu-s in the beginning of his career , but givin'g up the law ho caino to Paris and became a journalist. In 1841 he made his mark with the "Club'dos Phoques" and the "Chevaliers du Firmament. " His greatest successes wcro "Lo Fils du Diablo. " "Lo BOSBU. " nnd "The Mys teries of London , " whjchlnst ran through more than twenty editions ; and was trans lated to several languages : He also wrote several romantic works , such as "Los Hellos do Fint , " "Lo Paradis dos Fern- mos , " and "Mmo. Gil Bias.1" Of a dif ferent cast wcro his "Oouteaux d'Or" and his "Tiger Slayers , " his 'Black Beg gar , " nnd "The Ilcd Spqt. " Toward 187(1 ( M. Fovnl began to feel misgivings as to the morality ot some of his novels , and his conversion , or rather his return , to Catholicism was announced by the re ligious newspapers at the same time that representations wore made as to hia want of means. From this period ho tried to write in accordance with his religious convictions but with * little success. Only a few years ago he had a law suit with n publisher of Poitiers , who ob tained damages because the author had not sent in u "History of St. Radegondc" at the time hgreed upon. M. Foval'scnd was almost us melancliolv as that of Alfred Assolant , who died a few months ago in a Parisian refuge. A Northern California Forest. April Overland : Hero the trees , of gi gantic proportions , grow in such close contiguity that it scorned a battle for life through lack of space ; and the trail I followed .larrowed until horse and rider had barely room to pass between the trees. The outspreading brandies , inter locked in inextricable entanglement , formed a solid canopy of foliage , exclud ing sunshine and light so impenetrable that it was useless for me to ga/.o up at the heavens , or oven to guess the time of nay from the position of the sun , or from any glimmer of its rays. Not carrying a watch , and accustomed to toll the time by the length of the shadows , I became anxious from my'inability ' even to guess at tlio time of day , and feared from the darkness of my surroundings that the tun must bo descending far toward the horixon. But after a couple of hours of painful anxiety , I at length emerged from the dark , dense nnd depressing iprost , to find myself once more under the blue canopy of a California sky , and the sun with live hours left to reach its resting place in the west.

Dry Goods Clerks Telephone Opera tors I'oiiuillnjt n Telegraph Key Wnltine on the Tnblc Fe male Heal Estate Agents. [ Written for the Sunday Ike by Ajax. ] Besides having some girls who are pretty , some who are stylish , some who are coquettish , some who arc accom plishedand some who are shrewdOmaha has many who arc industrious. There are any number of young ladies here who earn their own livingn nd in some in stances that of their families. They are to bo found in every class of business , from that of selling tape behind a counter to that of selling real estate. In fact , the seer who predicted that in 300 years woman will have monopolized every trade and profession to the utter exclu sion of poor man , would groan inwardly , and perhaps outwardly , could ho investi gate woman's work in Omaha. Hundreds of girls in this city earn their livingin the dry goods stores. They do notj receive princely salaries , it is true the average being from $ : iO to $50 or $ GO a month. Thirty dollars is fair pay. Aq girl sometimes starts on less salary than that mentioned above. And she advances as she masters the details of her business. Occasionally , a girl may receive a higher salary , if the work she docs requires extra ability or special training. The hours are from 8 or 8:130 : in the morning to 5 or 0:30 : in the evening. As the lady clerk is on her feet most of the day , her work cannot bo said to be the easiest in the world. A largo number of voung ladies earn a living at short-hand work and type-writ ing. Fifty dollars n month is a tair average - ago for tliis class of work. Many girls earn less than that amount some of them work for f'5 n month. Occasion ally n typo-writist is able to do general ollicc work in addition to her other du ties , in which event she may receive a higher salary. , Omaha's teachers are proverbial for their intelligence and shrewdness. They earn all the way f.'oni $50 to $135 or $150 a mouth , according to the class of work they do. There are about fifty ladies employed in the Union Pacific headquarters. They do their work neatly and well , receiving in the way of compensation from $25 to f 100 a month. One lady is said to re ceive f 125 n month. Girls who drift into railroading do not believe in marrying , if the records of the Union Pacific head quarters may be taken for a test. Many of the ladies in the employ of that road liavo worked nt the same desk for years , and have probably by this time aban doned all ideas of "double blessedness. " The county court house clerical forces are largely made up of ladles , who earn all the way from $30 or $40 to f90 or $100 a month. Abstractors command good wages. The bevy of young ladies who work within the four walls of this build ing include frisky , demure , lively , staid , handsome and homely specimens of femininity. None of these damsels were ever known to flirt except in n quiet , genteel way. They are , on the whole , a very proper , well behaved set of girls. Quite a number of young ladies earn n living as operators in the telephone ex change. The work is hard and thankless so far as the majority of subscribers is concerned. The average salary is $80 or $35 dollars a month , though the beginner CURTAIN DEPARTMENT Lnco Curtains , 3 yards long , at ? r > c , f I , f 1.H5 , $1.75 and | 3 per pair.

THOMPSON , HELDEN & CO. starts in at $20. The head .operator re ceives $50 u month. There arc several lady telegraph opera tors in Omaha. They are rapid , intelli gent nnd skilled in the expert manipula tion of the key. They can earn nearly as much as their brother operators. Two Indies in this city arc engaged in the business of selling real estate. Suc cessful ? Well , most assuredly so. The rapid and easy manner in which they do their business is calculated to make the average male real estate agent turn a dark shade of green , from envy. ( .cully and cautiously , with that soft , cooing method of persuasion which a woman knows so well how to adopt when she wants to win her way into a man's purse pocket , the female agent will point out to her victim the advan tages which this or that investment holds out to him. She has patience , coolness , shrewdness , and a certain qual ity very essential in her calling which some people call "cheek. " So that she generally succeeds iuanythingsho under takes. A very large number of girls in Omaha earn their living by "waiting upon the table. " Whereas in the large hotels and restaurants' the colored nnd white waiters are to bo foundtho patrons of the smaller hostclries and eating houses me served by nimble waitresses. They nro usually as rapid and correct in lilling orders as thy average colored waiters , though they arc not , to bo sure , paid as well. They receive from $3 to $5 a week and board. There1 are a few Omaha girls who earn their daily bread by setting type. Some of them are experts and command good wages. They have a softening , refining intluenco on their male fellow printers , it is said , nnd servo to keep up a proper standard of decorum in the composing rooms with which their presence in blest. The scope of this article will not per mit even a passing allusion to the other vocations which afford the young women of Omaha an honest and honorable livelihood. They are to bo found every where ; in the public offices , in retail stores , in wholesale establish mentsand in thcoflicesof the army of pro fessional men of Omaha. They do their work well and they do it intelligently. All honor to them ! For in this age of "gilded vice , " when sin is made to appear so attractive to the innocent or thoughtless , it is n su perb tribute to the character of any woman to say that she toils for her liv ing. ing.To To euro rheumatic or other pains , take apiece of thick flannel , saturate it well with Dr. J. H. McLean's Volcanic Oil Liniment , bind it round the limb , or wherever the pain is , and place over it n hot iron , or hold it to the fire , so as to ap ply as much boat ns possible. Giving Mnrv Ann a Show. From Harper's Weekly : A youne lady told mo once of attending n little Catho lic church in the country near where she was passing the summer. Hcing a rcjru- lar attendant at a largo city church "of that faith , she was painfully conscious of the florid and pretentious character of the music attempted by the ambitious little choir , and of their absolute hopeless inability to perform it. The relation bo- twcen the nastor and congregation was evidently of the simplest and most unaf fected nature. In the "Gloria" there'oc curred n lone nnd showy soprano solo , in chonp imitation of the Italian style. The young woman who attempted it sang gayly on until the clergyman evi dently thought that she had enjoyed her fair share of attention and glory. Accord ingly ho raised his hand as a signal and the music ceased. "Let that younc ; girl with the red feather have done singin' nnd lot Mary Ann Quilty sing the rest. " There was a little hesitation in the choir , nnd lit ) re sumed : "Tho service will not go on till Mary Ann has a show. " Accordingly Mary Ann took her in nings , and the young girl with the red feather was left nowhere. THE SALVATION "Happy Bob , " Under Sentence of Death. Given Ills Opinion of It. Robert Van Brunt , lately a prominent member of the Salvation Army , is under sentence of death at Rochester for the murder of young Roy. From an inter view with a reporter of the Democrat this extract is made : "Van Brunt , yon scorn to place HttJo' reliance upon the linal result ot this hoped for appeal to the higher courts , nnd you seem to clearly reali/.o that your life i ' nearly ended , and that the dreadful event can at most bo postponed but a littlo. Now , with these grwo convic tions in your mind , I wish you would telti mo something about the true inwardness of this Salvation Army to which you be- ' longed. " Van Brunt , who is only twenty-three , years of age , meditated a" moment , eycd- his questioner curiously , and then laughed a bit in a peculiar manner to himself. " 1 think"hc said , after a little. " ! think- there arc a few good people yet in the army ; I mean people who really want to benefit mankind , but 1 tell yon most of the soldiers , and oflicors particularly , are thinking more of womankind , " and the face of the man , who in due course of the law had less than ten days before his death on the gallows , took on a wicked leer , which startled even the experienced , interviewer , who was mentally , but none the le. s unerringly , notwithstanding the testimony of one who knew that he was facing almost certain if not immediate death. " 1 ought to know this Salvation Army , " continued the condemned murderer , his tell-tale face adding strange emphasis to his candid words. " 1 ouzht to know them ; 1 have been there myself and the ollicers have talked with me about it.11 "There is a class of young girls drawn into the meetings , " ho wont on , "who are easily enough inlluenciid by the of ficers , and arn controlled by the ofliccrs I. and men for their own purposes and for * > bad purposes , and those nro the girls they arc after. I don't know as 1 can just exactly describe the inlluunce they have over them , but it just controls them , nnd lots of them have this Influence. " "Perhaps they niesmomo them , " quietly suggested the newspaper man. "Yes , " sold the slayer of Roy and the suitor of his sister , " 1 put it all down us something like that. " "Yon know this is the general char acter of thcsu .soldiers you associated with , then ? " persisted the newspaper man. ' Yes ; 1 know it from my own experi ence , and I have talked it" all over with , the ollicers. " " 1 imaginoyou mean your observation , not vour personal experience. " "Yes ; 1 mean my observation , " ant ! again the uncanny , salicious expression , stole over the feature * of the man , and the visitor did not regret that his disa greeable task was nearly ended. * "Van Brunt , " said he , "from what you know of this army , and from the position in which you limt yourself , what do you think of the general effect of the practi ces of this Salvation army ? " The witness was a competent one , and itvao the last question the interviewer ever expected to address to Robert Van Brunt , and the answer came with a rapid ity that carried conviction with it : " 1 told you fcomo good people got into the Salvation army , out the enthusiasm wears oil'in two or three weeks , and they get to be as bad as the rest. If the Sal vation army altogether WHS f > w pt from the earth it would be better ; bettor for everybody. " Dr. Hay Palmer's son , Kev.
