The markets of this city the past week have been fliled to overflowing with all descriptions of farm and market-garden productions, making an exceedingly lively trade, and prices generally low. Bstreet and Louistana avenue, with some of the side streets, have gradually becofne the great mart for the wholesale and jobbing trafic in such pro- auctions, and latterly a large business has grown upin fresh meats and groceries. The fact Is be- coming more apparent every day that the con- sump.ion of marketable productions are largely on the increase in this District, consequent upon the rapid Increase of popniation. Retatlers find no diMfenity tn procuring supplies. Alorge firm from Chicago, dealers in fresh meats—Messrs. Swift and Bro.—are about to locate a branch store in the Washington market.

Special Li- | Just So. Referring to the statement that the press of city as pursuing an unwomanly yocation, the Albany Argus makes these sensible remarks: “If that is so, Quebec needs civilization. A woman has a moral right to earn her living in any honest way legally open to a man. Laws or customs to the contrary will have ‘to go.” The question of woman’s occupation depends entirely on what she can learn to do well, and make an honest living in. There are many effi- cient women dentists and women physicians in the United States. The public employs them, or not, for the same reasons which govern the employment of men in the same vocation. A woman who is well married and well supported by a worthy husband has her lot made for her— and as wife and mother does as much for the | family as the husband, whose labor earns the money. If such a woman chooses to acquire a profession or an art, for the culture always in it, and protection against possible adversity that may be in it, she will have an unworthy hus- nd if he objects to it, provided she proves that she has capacity for it, and shows that the acqui- sition will not interfere with her home duties. The practice of it, for income or for relaxation, is a matter which man and wife can settle be- tween them, and it isa matter which is nobody else’s business. Such cases will not arise often enough to concern society at large. The on! truth to be borne in mind is that education and 4 accomplishments better women the same as they do men, and their union in the married relations does not affect the truth. 8 to the cases of women who do not marry, and who prefer or who have to labor, no absolute line can be drawn through work, making oneside fe ne and the other masculine. It is better for any woman to work than not to work—the same as itis for a man. An idler is the only jf made in God's image that does not follow Maker's law and habit of work. It is better for any person, man or woman, to know how to work than not to know how. An incapable is a burden and obstacte to therace. It follows that if women, preferring or obliged to work, discern what they can best do, and learn how to do it well, they are only organizing and capitalizing their powers, the same as men do, or should do. And the women who do so are entitled to help and honor anywhere from all worthy to becalled | men.” Es Holidays in New Modes. There Is something to be said, no doubt, against bicycles and tricycles, but no one can y that for a vast number of busy youngmen. 'y have substituted the country reads, fresh ir, and healthy exercise for aimless and un- wholesome loafing’at street corners, in billiard- rooms, and, at public-houses. From the purely seltish point of view it is possible to lament the disturbance ofthe absolute quiet which not many years ago was attainable almost anywhere within a few miles of London if the seeker avoided a few stock places of resort. But with- out laying claim to a very exalted altruism, one may acknowledge that the gain altogether out- weighs the loss. There is no doubt that the innovation of “evycles” is the most remarkable of late days in point of holiday making, and it is not likely that it has yet reached its utmost development. The invention of ‘‘sociables” especially makes holiday-taking in’ company possible, and we | should not be surprised to see some of these days a polycycle with a “boot” for infants. The steam tricycle, the harmlessness of which seems to be certain, has been for the present, by one of the oddities of English law, squelched by the application of an enactment intended for something quite different. But that is not likely to last for ever. Meanwhile the older ways of locomotion are not suffering from the new. Coaches grow more numerous every sum- mer. Cruises upon wheels—a daring novelty 20 years ago, when the late Mr. C. A. Collins wrote his charming book—are common enough now. Tours in houseboats are almost hack- neyed, and even journeys in caravans are said to be not uncommon. The man who takes a country walk ought to be prepared at any mo- ment to come upon some emulator of Mr. Louis Stevenson driving a donkey witha sleeping bag, or onamore original pilgrim with one of the Belgian dog-carts conveying his luggage. There is nothing to be said against this exercise of pri- vate judgment (though we do not seriously re- commend the dog-carts); on the contrary, there is everything to be said for it. A French poet once expressed neatly and correctly the object of mankind in taking holidays. He said that we hed to go ‘Au fond de lineonnu pour trouver du nouveau.” That there is a great deal of the unknown and a great deal of the new to be got at very close.to,quy.dnoxsis the | principle of the modern traveler ngarhome, and the mechanical arrangements which enable him | to find both are unquestionable blessings.—Lon- don Daily News. ~- ——_+e-—____ How She Won Him. Philadelphia Quiz, August 24. Thave just heard the most remarkable story of tbe evenness of female temper. In fact it seems so surprising to me that I think some record of it should be embalmed in the archives of Quiz. It isa beautiful little fairy story and may appropriately be called “How She Won Him.” Indeed it was quite enough to win a far worse man, if the worse men are ever won, which I dare say they are not. It happened here In Philadelphia and is -on this wise: You know, or rather you don’t know until I tell you (for how should y ), that there was a beauti- ful dinner given ‘many years azo,” and she sat opposite him and looked ever so charming in a wine-colored silk with a square neck, and other- wise arrayed as never were the lillies in any ‘alley of this poor earth. Well, the idiot of a waiter inhanding the soup, upset the entire contents of a plate right in her lap. Just think of it, girls! The whole front breadth utterly ruined, and for the world it could not be matched. Well, what did she do?” Did she faint? Did she say you horrid man? Did she scream? Not at all; she passed the thing off in some witty remark about fiery baptism and calmly resumed her dinner. He, of course, was delighted, thought her a most remarkable wo- man. and indeed she was; became attentive to her and finally married her. One evening long | after the event they were sitting before the fire, the children having gone to bed, and were talking about old times, when he said: “My dear; I never told you, I think, how I fe thought I would like to marry you, aid “Why, gracious, goodness, no, never.” “Weil,” he said, “do you remember that din- nerat Mrs. Simkins’s where your dress was spoilt by the soup?” replied, “T shall never for- “Indeed Ido,” she get it as long as I live.” “Well,” le continued, “you behaved so well about it that I thought you a perfect jewel.” “Yea,” she answered, “I remember behaving very well about it at the time, but, good land, you should have seen the mark of my teeth on the bed-post that night.

Itis on record in this state that a Michigan editor was once engaged to fight aduel. The affair occurred twenty-five years ago, and was brought about by the journalist making several vicious attacks upon the honor and honesty of a member of the legislature. The Solon first tried the usual way of getting even by buy- ing a horsewhip and hunting the editor, but when he had found him he was: knocked down and rolled in the mud. He then sent a formal chalienge, and asthe editor opened the letter he turned to his two compositors and sald: ‘Boys, how much matter have you got up for the first page?” “Three columns,” replied the foreman, after measuring up the galleys?” “And we need five. You'll have it all up by noon to-morrow, and by Wednesday night all the inside wilibeup. Then Pll wet down the paper and make up, and while you are working off the outside I'll run ont and shoot old Perkins, who has sent me a challenge.” He sent a formal acceptance. named rifles as Weapons, appointed the rendezvous within thirty rods of the office, and then began to scratch out copy. When the hour arrived he was making up the forms, having got a little behind the program, and by and by his second came inat the back door ai id: “We've beea waiting for you all of twenty minutes.” “But I'm busy.” “This is no time to be busy; Perkins is all ready.” “Hang the Inck!” growled t! filled out the column and fu down his rule. hat’s Just like Perkins—he wants to throw our publication day. Come on; I'll fill him up!” The editor seized his gun, and, hatless and coatiess, he sets ont on a lope for the spot. Perkins saw him coming in that fashion, and his knees weakened and his chin dropped. and, though the editor yelled for him to hold on a minute, he bolted’ over the fence and did not come out of the woods until he was six miles away. editor, as he ——_—_+e-____ ‘The Free-seat Movement. The following article from Zion's Herald (Methodist) published at Boston isattracting at- tention in the religious world: ‘A movement has recently been inaugurated in the Protestant Episcopal church in Massachusetts which may be considered as somewhat remarkable, and worthy of the attention of other denominations of Christians. Its object is to secure the doing away with the pewed system in all their church edifices throughout the state, and the intro- duction of the free system instead. An asso- ciation has been formed and incorporated under the title, ‘The Free Church assoclation—Massa- chusetts branch,’ and in its board of officers are leading men of the denomination, among their clerey and laity. The objects sought are stated to be, ‘to maintain as a principle the freedom of all seats in churches; to promote the abandon- ment of the sale and rental of pews and sittings, and in place thereof, the adop- tion of the principle of systematic free-will of- terings by all the worshipers in our churches, according to their ability; to promote the re- cognition of the offertory as an act of Christian worship, and as ascriptural means of raising moneys for pious and charitable uses.” The ob- Jections to pewed churches, and the advantages of free seats, are stated as follows:—' First, dis- tinctions in the house ot God are not scriptu- ral; pews were unknown in apostolic times, and were not invented until some three hundred years ago. Second, the support of the services of religion is no longer a legal, but a moral, ob- ligation—thus placing the matter on a higher plane, and appealing to man’s conscience and sense of duty. Third, voluntary offerings, par- ticularly the Sunday offertory, are .scriptural, and practically enable all to give of their abil- ity.’ This movement seems the more remarkable when we consider the quarter whence it comes. For it might be thought that whatever consider- ations would lead to attachment to pewed churehes, would specially prevail in this re- ligious body. We would scarcely expect them to be the first to attempt doing away with dis- j tinctions in the house of God, and making its choicest privileces as available to one man as toanother, to the rich and the poor, the high and the low alike. Yet such is the fact, and to us it seems not only remarkable. but also promis- ing no little good. We are told that the statistics compiled three years ago showed that more sthan one-third of the communicantsof thisthui isroughout the United States belonged '€6 sustaining free churches. The total number of communicants at that time in all their churches ‘was 312,718; and their total contributions for all purposes, $5,788,266; au average for each of $18.50. Of these communicants the third belong- ing to free churches gave $1,183,616, an average from each of $17, falling in their gifts but littie behind the pewed churches. These figures must be exceedingly gratifying to the friends of the movement, for, as they justly claim, the pewed churches are more largely in the great centers. of population and trade, and have much more relative wealth than the others. It is claimed furthermore, that fully one-third of the clergy in this state, and a number of influential lay- men are in favor of the free church system; and when its plans and objects are better understood a great accession to this number Is confidently expected. Ot the twenty-two Episcopal churches or chapels within the limits of Boston, twelve are now free. It seems to us there is in this movement food for study and reflection. May we not hope to find in it a help to the solution of that much discussed problem, how to win the masses to the house of God? It is only about thirty or forty years since the Methodists had a pewed church. Have they gained anything by the change, in congregations or evangelical success?” C UTICURA RESOLVENT.
