It would indeed be a surprising thing if among 70 women there were bot some whose characters are bad. The wonder is that there are not many more, considering the way in which ap- intments are made, the tenure of favoriteism yy which the places are held, the character, in far too many instances, of the men in charge of the divisions in whose duties women are em- ployed, and the meagre pay which the sex generally receive. 1 hearof two men holding prominent positic in that part of this great department where women are employed, who are absolutely dreaded by allthe female em- ployes.

So they rode, acquaintance, all talking upon everything except that they had, most at heart. When they arrived at the depot at Farmington, which was three miles from Where the debtor did business, they found nothing to “put "em ever the road” but a solitary cab, towards which they all rushed Three get in aud refused admittance to the fourth, and the cab started.
