It would_bo in contradic- fon of the law of kindness, and would NEGLECTING THE WAYS OF IIER IOUSEXOLD. To quote agsin: 15 1] this eonld be effected While {lie domestic ma- chiners moved on witkuut 3 single jar caused by noglevicd duties, why should the ssme infiuence n an opgosite direction cause wuch o 832rifice of time, and wide—spread home desolatlon? - How » woman conld ezpectto give up her home-dutics. and have tke domestic machinery move on withoat more thun one jar caused by that neglect, is o problemn. The sawe iniinence 10 an opposite direction wonld be towards home, as bofore it was away from home: and why it ehould cause a sacrifice of timo and wide-spread home-derolation, can be solved by supposing that _seli-righteousness sits in au easy-chair, .Imrcn‘ds ler gkirts, and says, ** Behold how goovl am!” This wonld become s truomoiher just as much 28 gaying to an unfortunate child of earth, “Tliete is no rodemption for you.” Self-righu ©eousness is & poor spirit to effect good with, citier at homoe or avroad. Woman's duty to her children is only one branch or her work. Those towhom God has given children bave no need to sock for fields iu which to labor, beeanse their field is befors them, to their right hand, to their left hand, and, in fact, ALL ARGUND, They can find virtue, weaknoss, and depend- ence, withoat leaving their field to hunt what theycen do ; and they can throw, not a straw, but & strong rope, to the rescue, ana have the rope szfely anchored at homo. If some benevo- leut individaal in Chicaeo would donate o sum of moneg for tho benofit of orphaus, what would vou think of the individual who would wish to end thie money to Lugland, as if there wero no orphans {n Chicago? Ko more tmthifal word was ever spolion than that * The poor ye have always with you;” and a true woman will remember it, 8s'well as the golden rule, *To do unto others as you would fiave othersdo unto you,” sud * Whatsoever thy liavd findeth to do, do with thy might.” Not whatsoever you please, but weatzoover 1t may bo thy hand findeth to do.

Woman’s IZIgts and Free-Love. 7o the Editor of The Chicago Tiridune Sin: ‘Fhat this great scandal has been, or will Dbe, tho means of outirely shattering the Free- Love movement, I siucerely hopo ; but that its f21l can produce the full of the Woman-Suffrage movement, or even retard its progross, I cannob believe, 23 the two havo NEVER BEEX IDENTIFIED. It is true that Victoria Wocdhull, the advoents of the Free-Lovo doctrine, is also a believer in, sud advocate of, Woman-Sufirage; but that cannot make them identical. A very bad man in overy respect may be au honest believer in truth and noblencss ; buk, becanse his practices are the roverse of thiese, thoy do not, in any de- gree, destroy tho principles of truth and no- bility. ‘There is no possitle conneotion betwoen them. When Victoria Woodhull annonnced herself as an advocats of Woman's Richts, she was accept- ed by somo of the leaders of tho movement as an able ally in the canse ; but, when she began o declare her Free-Lovo theories, they were in- stantly répudiated by thosc leaders, and by tho largo majority of tho bolievers iu' it,—not be- canse thoy made Woman's Rights unpopular, DLut becanso they wefe noz what they desired or wera laborigg fof, and WERE APHOLREST TO THEIR IDEAS OF SOCIAL RE- Fous. The intelligent portion of the people have never 50 misunderstood tho motives and work of those who bevo tried ko establish = political and social equality a8 to believo they wero endeavoring to introdice such reprehensible doctrines, The few who everdid associate Womsn's Rights and ¥ree- Lovo have long sincs ceased to do fo. Victoria Wooahall and Free-Love may have bo- come synonywous termns, bat mot Woman's Rights and Free-Love. While 1 have often questioned the wisdom of many of tho methods taken to bring about tho Woman's Righta roform, 1 have not questioned, nor does suybody queatton, the integrity of char- acter of the ablest and most eminent leaders, or of the larze portion of those who beliove in it. They aro neither ia theory nor practico Free- Lovers, nor do they, in any way, sanction Free- Love: Why, then, should Woinsu-Suffrage be affected by the destruction of Free-Lova? AlL great moral and social progress ought o be, and I believe i, accomplished by PORE AND HONEST MEANS. That the use of such means is, and kas been, the intentton of the advocates of the Woman~ Suflrago movement, is_unquestionable: and, when they have learned to tako tho wisest and Lest course in their work, the movement will progressin spite of the many Lindrances that bave fustened themsclves to it.

BECKER. Woman’s Livelihood —Work of the New York free Fraining-Schools. From the New York Tribune, The free training-schools of the Women's Ed- ueatonal and Industrial Society have introduced an mportant feature jnto their work, and are in futuro to givo a good breakfast to the women who wmay apply at No. 47 East Tenth street ba- tween 6:90 and 7:30 every morning. Tho menl is supplled overy day to a large nnmber of slop- girls and working women. A long table is set out with an extra leaf, and as fast as one tablo bas brealifasted avother takes its place, and so on to the end of the hour. The food that working womien and shop-girls most went in the early mormng before begiuniug their labor, szid the Sccretary of the Society, Misa Corson, is a cup of coffee and £ome bread and butter. Tho Society, for the nominal sum of 5 cents, gets before them s large cuplul of coffee with milk and crashedeugar, and plonsy of nice bome-made bread and swect but- ter. The cberge of & cents is to cleer tho Socioty from any imputation of distributing charity, and to cause the applicants to feel a true independ- euce. 1t was sincerely folt, sid 3liss Corson to a re- porter of the Tribunc, by mauy of the prominent Iadies in this city tha: something ought to be done to ensble those who were mn- able to earn their living because they did not understand how fo do any work that would Tar. to teach them low to gain g livelihood. Many young girls and women of all nges, bo— cominy obliged to shift for themsclves, were forced to suiler tho bitterest pangs of pinching voverts or apply to some of tho charitable insti tazions for help, and thus become a burden to the public. These ladies felt that it would also savo many from a life of vice and crime to teach them some nscful om‘[floymnut. Lightcen months azo the Society wae formed, and since that time Las taught 4,000 women eome useful employment by which they ure now able to cam o good liv- ing, whera before thoy were unable to make enough to keep soul and body together. When the Society was first formed. they had fo begin their schoolivg by teaching their applicants to o the sewing-machine, They sent arculars to ‘machine companies and asked them to lend them machiues upou which they could teach the girls. Too lurge spartment whizh is now o picture-gallory over Wheeler & fWilson's sewing-machine rooms was eecured for the classes, and the Wheelor & Wilson, Secor, and Wilcox & Gible sent machines. Tho work grew, and tbe Society moved their quarsers. to their prosent plsce, No. 47 -gast Tenth strect, where they occupy the whole house. They determined hero to increago their uscfulness and feach women 0 that they would be fittad to do house- work, sewing of all kinds, laundry work, 000k~ “are permitted to go to any one the; ing, besides inducing them to study and im- rove their minds. Tho upper floorwas taken for the dormitories of those who remained in the house sud loarned to do housework. Tao next floor below “is the laundry, where all kinds of lsundry work are taught and nicely dono. The pext floor below that is tho sewing-floor, and it consists of the two large rooms of the main buildiug proper thrown together. Thogronnd or parlor floor containa the oftice of the Sccretary, Miss Corson, # tho front room, the clags-room, where tho classes are taught, on Tucsdoys and Fridays, stenogra- phy, bookkceping, aud proof-rending, and tho apartment in the extreme rear, which is tho roading-room avd ‘lbrary. In tho basement is the restaurant, in which food is furnished toany. one all day. The food is of the best quality and good varicty, snd is furnislied st & moderate cost. Tha ilea is to make tho restaursnt sell- sustaining—that is alt, When u gir] has made up her mind to carn her living honestly, continued Miss Corson, she has pained 8 victory over hamself, and ma almost afways trusted. A woman cler] behind 5 counter ordinarily carns about &1 aday. They aro required to diess neatly, and must havo ribbons, &c., to mako themselves attractive to the customers. It is imposeible for a woman to live ou this money, and it is no won- der that real distress end suffering drive her to vice and sin. When they spply here, many neat, handy girls would bo glad to do housc- worli in & family instesd of working bebind a counter. Good housckeepers are in preat de- mand, and cooks are born, like poeta. Tie So- ciety Teceives the woman, and, il sho has no mosns, keeps her until she has learned onough of work to earn something, if only 50 cents aday. All the teaching is practical. There is no theory. The girls aro taught to cook well and cconomizo food, working up everything in an attractive and palatable manner for tho tablo. If the woman ismore than or{finnrfl{] intelli- gent, the Lest time to buy, what to buy, the nourishing qualities, and other chomistry of common life, are tanght. Theyaro thea Sup- phed with & good home. Their expenses for clothing are hight compared with what a girl must spend who works behind o counter, and sbo can soon begin to lay up moucy in tho gavings bank. A grest many women piefer housework to any otier Lind, and tueir prefer- ences aro generally regarded, though they aro always taught to do that kind of work in which they are judged to be best able to succeed. ‘When a gitl wishes to learn to run the sow- ing-machine, she ia at ouce put into that roowm. The girls who learn this work wre eonstantly comibg in_and going away good and first-class workers, The Socicty becomes responsiblo for the work that the employers send i, bnd if it ig spoiled 1t must be paid for out of tho contingent fund. But the begiuners and loss expert work- ore aro put upon coame, plain sowing, and in thres or four days ihe dullest woman ¢an carn 50 cents, It may scem almugo, but the girls profer the cheap work becauss they can make the most out of it. The work for tbis department is furnished by the difforent down-town twholesalo stores. Tothechild & Co. send & great deal of common cheap work, like striped culico shirts, and Lord & Taylor give the Society o great deal of every kind of sewing. Thus the girls carn money while they are beiog taught and becoming expert workers on the sowing-machine. If they were toloarn in one of tho largo mannfacturing ce- tablishments they would bs_obliged to work for six weeks befora they counld receive ® cont of compensation. During this time a girl might suffer great want. Wnen the Soclety can rec- ommend a gir, sbe always gets n good placa, for no one is recommended who is mot & first-claen worker. Thego mirls nre grently sougzht after, sud the demand for first-class workers on tho Bow- jog-machine is _greater far than the Sociely's sbility to supply. Applicatious, too, aro 1n greater pumbers than can Le accommodated. Lut their turn soon comes. Desides these, the instructions in the classes in stenograpby snd proof-reading, twice a week, ensbla tho Society to fit many intelligent womon for a place thai is fiited to them. A vory sad caso illustrates this. Only o fow weeks ago o lady wroto to the So- ciety, tolling a talo of “great poverty and suffering. Bhe was from the South, aud led a family of emall children, She tried every kind of work she could find. but at nono could she earn more than &3 or &4 per week. ‘They contrived to Live on 81.50 a woek, but they had not enough to eat, and their eole food was broad and buttermilk, Still, they were ablo to Leep sonl acd bods together upon this diet. Tho stumbling-block in the way was the £3 a week for their rent. ‘Thoy paid all they could of this cach week, but kept running bebindband. At length the clothiug of the mother and her chil- dren became very much worn and almost too shabby for a decent appearance. In despair, shs wrote to Miss Corson sud told Ler all ber sad story —how ghe had been carefuliy educated, understood tho modern langueges and music, but could do no practical work that would enablo her to earn a liviug for Lerself and children. becanse she did not know Low to employ her talents and education in 3 practical way. Miss Corson sppreciated tha necessitiea of tug case, and taking hor in a week, tanght her how to read and correct proof. After the hard weok's study a large publiehing hiouse offered tha woman a positicn as proof- reader at a ealary of £5 for the first two weeks, while she became more_expert, and after thal $15, Hor probation onded lust week, and yes- terday the happy womsn began her first dsy's work at the priucely salary, us it scemed to ber, of 315 a week. 2any cases might bo told of equal interest. These aro generally sufferings from poverty bo- fore the applicant comes to the Bocioty. Often the applicanta come for immediate relief, hungry and homeless. Then they are sent to St. Barna- bas' ome in Mulberry street, or to tho Froo Dormitory for Women, where. they are given something to eat and lodging for a bight or two. The Socioty trust thatA, T. Stewart, Arnold Constablo & Co., and tho otlier large firms may co-operata with them after they seo the croat food that they ars doing to the working-women. ‘They employ largo numbers, and to raiso tho standard of the work i8 to increase ther business. Aliss Corson said that if the Society could only socure Mr. Stewart's large building on Fourth avenue they would Lave no waut of room, and then could extend the work ko that all who wished could be benefited. Many who are desorving aro now obliged to wait for & chance, 29 the rooms are full. The moral influences thrown about the girls taught by tho Hociety are cxcellent. The Society ia not in the least sectarian, The girls generally esteam it o privilego to attend chureh, and they Loose. What is most valued by the girls and Working- womon is tha recoption and reunmion every Tlureday evening. Everybody is wolcomed who is respectable and_wishes to onjov a bleassnt evening. Tho parlor floor is thrown opon, and their rooms aro usnally thronged. Many of tho wealthiest and mest distinguished ladies and gentlemon in tho city attend. They welcomo and eucourago the girlsin tbeir efforts to do right and bo respectable. Briof spocches aro made, and there is always guod music. Tho Steinwaya Liavo furnished the Society with 2 splendid grand piano, and books and magazines aro plon- tiful in the readmg-room and Lbrary. Theso receptions oro avticipated and much talked about by the girls, and it is considered & great incentive to a puro respectable life Lo know that ono night in the week they aro to bo thrown into contact with many of tho best peo- ple in the city, and tho only clovation is that of superior goodness and worth. Tho Society feel that they bave sccomplished a great deal of good work, though they are at tbe boginning only of what they liope to” be able to do for the good of working-women.

He received many marks of royal favor, nd was invited to the festivities and Feceptions at Court. At one of the balls whoro Lo was progent a cavalier attached to tho suite of the Crown Princess Viotoria stepped up to Lim _sith the message that Her Imponnl Highneus wished to danco tho next waltz with him. Angely started back at the intelligonce, tnd. poimting to tho tloor, eaid to the cavalicr, in tho peculiar Vienna accent, * On such a slippery floor I dare not undertake to dance, more especially with Her Imperial Highness,” *‘Please,” &aid tho courtier, smiling, * to follow me into tho next apartment, and there you can get the soles of your boots chalked by ono of the lackess.” Angely obeyed _the direction of Hor Highncss' moasenger, and afier taking those mensures to insuro his not falling, ho ctepped into the saloon whore the daucing was going on. The Crown Princess was being conducted through the mazes of the dance by a tall and distinguished courtier, who, out of rospect for his partuor, hold hor, as the etiquetto at Court prescribes, at arm's length. After Hor Highness bad been led back to bor seat Dby the cavalier, Angely stopped _mp, and, making a_low rever- once, said: “Your Imperid Highness hos deigned to oxpress A wish to dance with mo; but excuso my saving that I eannot dance like tho gentlemen who bas just had the honor, I only underatand the Vienna way to dance—this is, by elaspiug my partuer round the wafst.” Smiling at this, the Crown Princess answered : ‘' Dance with me, Herr Von Aogely, as you chooso, just as yon have been sccustomed to dance in Vienna.

In aletter, still tobo scen, dated Loudon, Ang. 21, 1631, and dirccted to a wealthy colonist of that sottlc- ment, the writer begins Ly saying : ** We send a shipment, ono widow and eloven maids, for wives of tho peoplo of Virginia. Thero hath been especial carc in the cholce of them, for thero hath not one of them been received but upon good commendations, Iu easo they cannot be presently marriod, we desire that they may bo pat with sevoral houscliolders that havo wives until they ean be provided with busbands.” Dub the, writer of this epistlo had liitle reason to fear that sny of the *‘ maidons faire™ would be left over.

From the San Francisco Dulietin, Alfred Dickens, & citizen of highly respectable and intelligent, though somewhst mutilated, ap- pearance, was called beforo tho Polica Court to- day to answer to the disgraceful charge of beat- ing bis wifo, The complainant, Mrs. Dickens, relnteda pitifal story of the manner in which sho 1ad been kicked, and cuffod, and chased out of the Louue, for no apparent provocasion whateyv- er, 50 far a4 hor statemonts discloaed. Whon Mr. Dickens was permitled to take tho wituess- stand in his own bebalf, it wns with tears in his_oyes and the mspect of ono who had sufferod a great moral or mochanical wrong, particularly_noticeable about the head. Tho gentloman informed tho Judgo that e was nov the same man that be appeared three days ago. At that time his head was ornate with hyperion curla that droppod npon his shoulders, while a majostic beard flowed from tho lower_poriphory of bis countenance. The Judge gazed upon Mr. Dickens and obuerved that the present appear- ance of his Lead resembled a coconnut in the busk. This metamorphosis, tho gentleman furtber explained, wes broaght about by thepure deviltry of his wife. Iis rcturned home the other ovoning from & social entertainmont with fow friends, and lay down on s sofa for a short nap beforo reposing himself tinally for the night. While thus_wrapped in sluinber, his wife procured a dull poir of scssors and wrought the abominsble havoc whick the Court was now permitted to inspect. Tho wretched man pointed out seseral places whero the scalp had been abraded in the oparation, and asort of crest which had bean left on the bum- mit of his cranium_rendered bis aspact excoed- ingly grotesque. The purpose of this outraga was 00oi explainod. From tho ciroumstanco of baving lert & long tuft on the top of his head, convenient for attaching & pig-tall, it was prob. ablo that Mrs. Dickens designod coovorting her husband into & Cuinaman. Noswithutanding this extreme aggravation, the Court held that tho de- fendsnt was not justitied in taking tho law into his own hands. * It is this tendency to act hasti- 1y and on the impulse of sudden passion that 6o frequently disturbs the harmouy of familics.

Tho prisoncr and his wife, owing to some domestic tronbles, had agreed to commit suicide, and the day named went to a canal for tha purposo of carrying out their design. Tho wife threw herself into the water first, and was drowned. The prisoncr, however, backed out of the bsrzamn after hid wifo bad disappearcd. The woman was got out, ot lifo was quite extinct.

Tho present taste, of city-bred people at lesst, has become too moditied to admit of eithor start- ling combinations or varietica of color in the same fabric.

In these goods aro reds, clarcts, blues, grays, ‘browns, plums, and purples. The red are in the wood-—colors, and approach the mabogany and cedsr shades, being called by the Frepch names of theso, as ceare and acajou, with the browuer shaaes of Marron d’Inde and Noix.

This is & wise permission upon the part of Fashion's interproters, and saves many a weary round of shopping. Let any ono recall tho timo when felt, satin, velvet, feathers, and ribbon, were all necessary for a bonnet or dross, and think of matching them to a tint. Tho pres- ent writer, in the days when perfect identity of tivt was necessary, recalls such a commirsion being sent her, and how cordially she hated tho friend who gave it, before suo got throngh with ner expedition. Every shop in New York was ransacked, from tho largest to the least, beforo the different fabrica were procured; and it took six months for Ler to forgive the existenco of that bonnet that had absorbed a week of weary shopping in collecting materials for. Let us, theu, be thankfal for harmony in place of iden- tity of tints; 8o that, if our country friends will potsist in asking us to buy for them, we need not hate them forover after for doing so. Don't try to matech » last sear’s shade of gray, however, with new goods. It reminds us of a favorita childish pastime, of trying to find a twin to s blade of stnped grass. Teintariers seem to have found as many shades of gray, steel, and brown, as Nature discovered variety in the manufacture of that special grass.
