It must be admitted that all dealings with female house servants are entrust- ed to women. They, then are responsi- ble for the prices paid for the work they have to offer; and it is equally clear that they are paying for it at the ratio with which nothing else in the labor market is comparable. Are femule serv- ants scarce? Certainly not. Look at the crowded benches in our so-called “intelligence [Heaven save the mark!) Offices; glance ut the long line of stecr- age p emeaets. as they defile at Castle Garden from the crowded decks of our emigrant ships. Hundreds of women and girls are hastening to our shores from every part of Europe, asking for places in our kitchens. Is it that most of these are ignorant, and valueless to the housekeeper who must have skilled labor? No. Ignorant most of them certainly are, and many seem incapa- ble of learning. yet the Irish girl who, if employed in Dublin, would consider herself well paid for her labor by £10, or at most £12, per annum, no sooner presses her foot upon American soil than she demands $200. More than any class of women in the world, if we except the indolent Asiatic, do American women need servants. We have not the rubust frame nor the sturdy strength of the British matron or the German Hausfrau. ur climate is exhausting, our lives are varied and ex- citing, our frames are slight. and our nerves weak. We can do much with our heads,—much planning and thinking, much atranging and directing. Tosup- plement this we need the strong arms, the tireless backs, of the peasant women of the old world. If we were wise and | sensible enough to pay them moderate- ly but fairly, to make them dress suita- bly and live plainly, in every case where we now cau have but one pair of bands to assist in the household work, while we make shift to do the rest, we might havetwo. Yes, there is no question that if the maid-of-ali-work, who now receives sixteen dollars per month, and is fed “like one of the family,” were to receive the same wages that an English housekeeper would pay, to eat what English servants are given to eat instead of our broils and roasts and dainty lux- uries in the way of desserts, the jaded female head of our smaller American households would find that she could “keep two girls” without adding a dol- ; lar to her yearly expenses. | And why cannot this be done? Is it not a positive wrong that it should not be done? The poor of Europe are crowding our shores, demanding work, | and there is none for them; begging for | food and shelter, and suffering misery ; and lapsing into sin for want of decent | homes and honest labor. Are not our | Women blind to their duty in giving one | what is abundant for two, in keeping | Up an unnatural and unreasonable scale | of prices for the benefit of a few? We | have not waited for our employes to , impress the boycott upon us; we have boycotted ourselves. Without reason, | Without outside pressure, in defiance of | common sense, and to their detriment | and ours, we insist upon a state of af- | fairs that is a sarcasm upon our judg- ; ment, and a convincing proof that, { bebe! we may attain to in the fut- men are v ight yet in in: Ses Sana "ez, eh tn sin city. and show ourselves singularly t in to ff = November the conduct Un- | i i | Mt.

By the inevitable will of the su- preme being another soul has passed to immortality. Another form will be mourned tor among the loved home circle; another face will be missed among youthful friends. On Saturday morning Nov. 13th, Robert Crawford, passed from lite unto death. For some weeks, he had been confined to the house with a woun'l in his foot hav- ing accidentally cut himself. Pa tiently he bore his misfortune, when two weeks previous to his death he took the tever, blood poisoning, re- sulting in his death. All that was possible to prolong his life was done by loving hands, but God called. The deceased was born in Nicholas county, Ky., in 1861, having immi- grated to Bates county with his par- ents in 1878 or ’’79-_ He had lived a life of noble usetulness, and sus- tained an irreproachable character. Among his numerous acquaintances he had not a known enemy. Bob as he was tamiliarly called, was a favorite with many. It was only to know him to become his friend. His place in society will not soun be filled, and there will linger in the memory ot his frends a tender re collection ot Bob The last sad rites were performed with kindness, his funeral beinz preached by Rev. Gwin and his body was interred in West Point cemetery. The tribute of respect that was manitested by the large concourse ot triends at the burial ground, will eyer remain a comfort to the bereaved tamily. In mourning for the beloved son and brother they have the sympathies of the community as well as the writer.
