Special Correspondence of The Evening Bter. New Your, October 23, 1891. PEAKING OF CHIL- dren, some philosopher has averred that, no joatter how much trouble they make, they always pay their way, Manifestly this writer hadn't « large family of daughters, or he wouldn't bave made this remark. I don't knowhow many chil- dren Fox, the founder of Quakerism, was blessed with, but I've often suspected that he had a large family of daughters, and hence preached against the abomination of fixe clothes from the standpoint of economy. Cer tain it is that Cornelia’s jewels, of which she ‘was so proud, were both boys, and it is quite likely that had they been girls che would not | have been so eager to call them into the room | and show them off, for they would have been sure to cry out in the same breath: “Oh, mamma, buy us some of those pretty gems!" ‘This silly prejudice against cirl babies took its rise in barbarous and semi-barbarous times, when the chiefs longed for sons to take up their battles where they left them off. Girls couldn't fight. ‘Thank heaven for that; but they may look beautiful and carry sunshine into the hearts and homes of men. Cornelia's two sons came toabadend. Had they been daughters they might have lived to delight their mother’s old age. A mother fortunate enough to possess a daughter should avoid two dangerous extremes in feminine adornment—she should neither ‘One often sees shapely little bpp ef two projecting ears. — This is a defect whic! may be remedied if taken in time.

CREAM FELT HAT FOR YOUNG Miss. Difficult as it is to make @ gown that will not rob a child of that delicious expression of youth, that softness and delicacy, that pastel look as distingnished from the sharp outlines of a pen and ink drawing. yot is it still more difficult to devise a bit of headgear that will accentuate and emphasize rather than injure or destroy the sweetness of the little face, spir- itualized by its masses of tangled curls or en- circled by tawny, silken tresses, like a snow scene in a golden frame. Ihave a couple of hints for you in this line. In the third illustration you will find a lovel; little hat fora child—a cream felt, trimm with a folded band of cream woolen stuff, with bows back and front and large and small pink wings, making a very dainty and delicate head covering, from underneath which the loosened tresses of a wee and winsome maiden curl with charming effect. dress her too old nor yet too young. Youth is always beautiful, and its delicacy, its harmony ‘and its coloring may easily be destroyed by an unbecoming gown or killed, as the artists term it, by too bright a color. ‘YOUNG GIRL'S EVENING CcosTUXE. Princess or corselet gowns always look well on young girls, especially if they are slender. Let the gown be made of any woolen material of becoming color, and the upper corsage, plastron and epaulets of pongeea Close the ‘at the back with hooks. You may out- ive the plastron with a bias border cf the woolen stuff. The skirt needsa little orna- Bent of some kind, say several rows of narrow ribbon or gailoon. In my first illustration I mt = charming evening costume for a young miss—a dotted tulle made up over a straw- colored surah. The skirt, plain in front, has fan pleats at the back, aud is bordered with deep flounce of gathered tulle. The corsage is made on ordinary lining and closes in the middie. The corselet is sewed on one side and hooked on the other. The basques are of the tulle. The ceinture and braces may be of or of velvetribbon ‘The braces start from the shoulder. The sleeves have ribbon bracelets, It would be difficult to devise a lovelier costume for a girl of fourteen to sixteen. It is the very tion of good taste, and any attempt to crease its attractiveness must result in fail- re. A pretty afternoon toilet for a young miss may be made up in woolen material of a tur- quoise blue with a square yoke ornamented With steel gulloon and framed with a narrow Tufle of crepe de chine of the same tone. The closes at the back with steel buttons and is set off by a broad ceinture or Swiss belt made on stiff material and whaleboned. On the left there is a bow of broad turquoise rib- with long ends. Ps AUTUMN TOILETS FoR YOUNG FoLKs. ‘The second illustration represents two cos- fames for young girls, the one on the right being in cafe au lait cashmere with spots of somewhat darker tone and intended for miss f sixteen or thereabouts. ‘The lining of the corsage closes in the middle and the yoke and have noseam. ‘The yoke is orna- ented with vertical bands of cornflower blue turn-down collar and traight, ending in cuffs ornamented with encircling bands of the vel- Yet.

Sosoon as this fecling takes posses- sion of him he is led to trust <0 luck rather than the study of conditions relating to Wall street. He should never trust to second-hand information. Most of the losses incurred in Wall street are due either to insufficient or false information.

Déplorable Mistakes Which Young Women Are Apt to Make, From the St. Louis Globe Democrat. There are two deplorable extremes, into one of which a young girl usually falls on receiving her “first offer.” The worse and more frequent of these is that of fancying herself in love, when in re- ality she doesn’t cares fig for her lover. The other consists in a eoquettish pride which leads her, against the dictates of her judgment and the inclinations of her neart, to reject s suitor, however worthy. When an honest man offers a woman his han: with all the accompaniments of heart an name and fortune—whether these be exalted or lowly, he pays her the hi compliment in his power. Undeniably, has a right to feel complimented, and she must be untrue to her womanhood does she not in some measure feel so, even though her suitor be beneath her re- gard; and the compliment will be valued very much in proportion to her estimation of the sea But take » young girl whose imagination is colored with the hues of a summer's sun rise ing, whose dove-like soul is waiting on quiver- ing wings for love's frat mewmage, whose gontle heart pulaates in anticipation of love's ecrtasy, When in ber May morn some one comes offer- ing her the sweetest and brightest of life's fragrance and beauty-zdoes sho pause to see chet te be say dnt on armen, iste en a terns = baseness in his heart? si bia io!

Thave known men to start in with buts few hundred dollars and run it rapidly into thon- sands during » protraated bull or bear. move- ment. These men have piuriged, and. believing the upward or downward course of the market to be interminabie, have added to their hold- ings as my as their increased profits would permit, without a thought of increasing their margin or laying s reserve. When the tide changes, and it does chango as inevit- ably asthe tide does in the East river, their margins are wiped out dy the firs: fluctuation, and if stop orders, which are usually éxacted by the brokers in such cases, are not quickly executed they find themselves not only penni- — deeply ig debt to the broker. No broker should ever trust s customer for mar- gin, as such an act is ruinous to both. When the customer becomes indebted to the broker he invariably, when he next comes to the street, goes to another office, for he will not be hampered by old debts. DREW's OXE IDEA. Daniei Drew at one time controlled more ready cash than any one man in America. His life affordsa remarkable instance of the ac- quirement of great wealth through pursuing ‘one idea and one purpose. It shows that education, undoubtedly a great factor of success, is not to the ac- quisition of money. Mr. Drew's grammar is illustrated by hie order to his broker,“Gim me them sheers,” when he wished is sbares of tobim. He had pe ty in ket, but he hated and sought not only to defeat ‘but destroy all who dared to compete with him. He was cunnin tothe last degree and equally bold.

He oultivated religious people of means in erder to use them in the promotion of his financial schemes. This was demonstrated by oes ® seminary to his native country. i was his motive retributive justice over- took him, as he was oi to default pay- ment for this institution. w's wealth at one estimated at $13,000,000, most of made of Erie stock, of which road he was managing director and .treasurer In this position he was enabled to use inside information, and as almost everybody else ‘was op the outside he invariably gained the day and they were defeated. In fact, so great a power was Daniel Drew as one time that he frequently advanced or depressed Erie stock 30 per cent in the course of a day to promote 5] lative deals which he was ew finally ousted from Erie by Jay He used to say of Gould, “His touch is death.” From: this point be went rapidly down until he had reachea the las the financial lad- injudisious attempts to murket. He died in debt and the victim of his own avarice. SPECULATIVE KEENE. A man no less noteworthy in speculative cir- eles than Daniel Drow is James R. Keene, His career is full of brilliant episodes. He was born in London, came to this coun- try in his youth and settled south, where he studied law.

The deal was disastroue to Smith also. i after this won Smith over to t the market, where he made a great money, but 'h get bearish notions so badly on the brain that he could sce nothing but disae- ter ahead, and he was recklessly prepared to follow Woerishoffer whenever the champion bear should attempt destruction of ues. This inveterate combination of egotism and soon produced his ruin, ‘HOW HE Lost. Smith lost by not operating on his own con- victions, He drew upon the resources of Heath & Co, until they were almost exhausted. He became so bearish that he not only lost all his own money but became indebted to Wm. Heath & Co. in $1,000,000, which caused their failure, a6 well as that of several other honses. In a statement which he made before the gor- erning committee of the stock exchange he said: ‘On January 1, 1885, I was worth €3,100,~ 000 in money and the valance, €800,000, in ood real estate, On the following January 1 foot the whole emount. and was. $1,200,000 in debt, $1,000,000 of which I owed tu Wm.

Hesnz Cuews. THE LOST OASIS FOUND. Explorers Had Looked for It in Vain Ever Since Giles Discovered It From the New York Sun. In 1875, when Mr. E. Giles made his famous Journey across the southern part of Australia, traveling through deserts that had never been visited before, he discovered a place that was green and fertile. ‘This oasis in tho desert was the result of somo springs which came to the surface there and gave the country for » largo distance around the aspect of rich and verdant agricultural lands. He named the piace Victo- tia spring, and when he came home he said many thousands of cattle or sheep could be raised there. He had nowhere seen mors prom- ising grazing land than this oasis. Curiously enough he did not accurately de- fine the position of Victoria epring. Ever sinco his journey the place has been marked upon the maps; but several explorers who ttied to find Victoria spring havo failed, and some crit- ies were unkind enough to intimate that the oasis had existed only in the imagination of the man who described it. ‘The news comes now from Australia that Victoria spring has been discovered again. Mr. J. P. Brooks writes from Israclite bay to Baron von Muller, who is well known for his important laborsin behalf of Australian ex- joration, that a Swede named Frank Newman found Victoria spring. The letter saya that the spring is 185 miles north of the short Frazer range of mountains, in the southern part of west Australia, and that hereafter this ‘oasis may be easily reached from the south coast. Neuman says, as Giles reported earlier, that animal life is abundant, that there is a fine growth of grass and that about 4,000 acres are splendidly adapted for sheep or cattle rais- ing. In fact it ism very beautiful and fertile cate in the midst of a sea of sand, which will never be turned to any profitable account. But the most curious thing about Victoria spring is that although all the maps have shown it where it was wsppoeed Giles found the: spring, no one was ever able to run across it during the sixteen years since ho discovered it until the present ‘time. As nearascan be sscer- tainea he located it abont ity miles from ite position, and no subsequent traveler ever hap- pened 10 soe it.

An Invention to Make Money—The Circus on the Stage—Marie Wainwright to Wed Again —Aa Odd Story—The Hoey Downfall— A ‘Becreant Son Who Turned Actor. ———_—_ ‘Spectsl Cortespondence of The Evening Star, Naw Yous, October 23, 1891. ‘OST PEOPLE THINK OF JOSEPH JEF- ferson, when they think of him atall, as an exponent and ddvotee of dramatic art in its very highest forma, So he is. Moreover he isan artist with the brush, and his tastes are decor- ousend refined. However, these facts do not prevent him from pursuing and overtaking the almighty dollar in great numbers ard by methods much ruder than his own stage imper- sonations. In the studio, or factory, of a New York scene painter, a few days ago, Mr. Jeffer- ‘son wasseen peeping through » narrow elit in 8 big box. The inclosure was five or six feeteach im length, breadth and height. From several crevices and larger openings shone a» bright light, indicating that the interior wasillumi- nated. “That will do first rate,” Mr. Jefferson said, speaking in the tone and manner of bis familiar Bob Acres—or, to be absolutely correct, his less known Afr y for this comedian is much the same on and off the stage “I was afraid it wouldn't do, but it will. 4 LOOK INTO THE BOX through the aperture disclosed a theater in miniature, the further quarter of the box being devoted toa diminitive stage, set out completely with ne representing the inside of # circus tent with a performance going on. The whole was wonderfully complete. A number of painted figures of athletes and aero- bats were in proper poses, aerial feats were rep- Tesented as in progress, and a row of footlights made the illasion striking. What one saw seemed to be a reproduction of a double circus performance. On looking closer it was dis- coverable that a mirror had been set across the back of the stage, thus doubling the scene by reflection, and turning the doings of a single wo. This was the invention ferson, the great comedian, ard to think of in connection with such a rude and vhysical form of public amusement as the cireus. he writer has no desire to boom a forthcoming enterprise, and so he will not name the drama in which, before long, this model of Jefferson's will be realized in full size. The idea originated more than a year ago with Mr. Jefferson, and he has de- voted much time and money to getting up drama with one act consisting of a circus. The notion of the mirror came to him recently, and, in — to = = without =r ly going to the expense of buying a great lot of late glass, be 1 the model constructed as poo Satisfied with the practicability of his invention, he has now ordered enough of mirror to make, when put together and the jomntures hidden by various devices, a surface forty feet by thirty-five. The spectators, in looking from the auditerium at the circus on the st wili thus see it doubled by the mirror at the back, and it is believed that the illusion wil! be vo ‘perfect that they will find it hard to realize that the performers are not duplicated in o ring further back. So it is demonstrated that the nicety of Jefferson's art is allied to mechanical ingenuity and that he is prone to turn both into tangible profits, GossIr ABOUT MARIT WAINWRIGHT. One of the unhappiest women in all New York today is also one of its most charming actresses and most fascinating creatures, The gentle loveliness of Marie Wainwright is a mask if all the stories of her intimates be true. They say with one voice that the tale of he: woes must soon come before the public view. It may not be generally known, though for months professional people have been cognizant of the fact, that Miss Wainwright does not an: longer live with her husband, the actor, Louis James. Met with repeated and persistent de~ nials at first the rumor of her separation is not now contradicted, and it seems further that a crisis is imminent in the domestic infelicity of this admired actress and sterling actor. All this week it has been asserted by persons who are in the confidence of Miss Wainwright that she will shortly make the preliminary move in an action for divorce. The news has amazed Louis James’ friends, who are peculiarly loyal in their regard for theactor. His conduct, aasert, han always been circumspect and’ be ie in various ways man in a thousand, geval, honest and true. He refuses absolutely to dis- cuss the matter, and this has been his position ever since the news of his domestic troubles be- gen to circulate, Miss Wainwright's ambition to rank as the leading female star in America is more than ever patent since her rather gor- city of “Amy Robsart,” play heretofoze sacred to the sweet memory of Adel Neilson. Productions such as this one costa great deal of money. Miss Wainwright could not command money so readily in the old daya o# she seems to now, for her tours with Mr. James were not hugely profitable. Their separation, therefore, was at first explained as @ purely commercial move, but is now more clearly understood. BUT THE ODDEST PART OF THE STORT of this war in = family in also the newest part of it.

He has been an ardent wooer of actress, the current stories are true, and Miss Wain- wright is said to have looked upon his atten- tions with anything except disfavor. There may be another chapter to the romance, but it is early to tell it now. Muldoon had ‘been « New York policeman before he got into fameas a wrestler.

Do you know what you are talking about, Pat? Is it « girl like Biddy Flanagan that you leave till next Wool season? Why. man alive! she is just as likely to be snapped up from under your very nose whilo you're loitering down the street to seo her. “Maybe your riverence knows best,” is the rejoinder, and away goes my brave Pat to make the acquaintance of Miss es When be gets to Mrs. Dash’s door his per- plexities begin. and the hesitating knock with which he announce; his arrival indicates pretty fairly the condition of his mind.

Good and evil spirite also play an Important Part in their mythology. Among the good spirits are three sisters who preside over the favorite vegetables—corn, beans and equashes.

The corn spirit is draped with long leaves and silken tassels; the sister who guards the bean is clad in its delicate tendriis, while the of squashes is clothed with the brill- Rismons or sae plant. iant THE GREAT HEADS. Among the supernatural beings correspond- ing to good and evil genii among the Iroquois ‘are the Great Heads, with ever watchful eyes and long hair that serves them for wings. They figure largely in the unwritten Indian litera- ture. There were also in early days stone giants, always the mortal foes of men, whose Gnal extermination bas furnished the theme for many wonderful stories. These savagen, when they accept the Great Spirit, usually re- tain their former divinities as bis attributes, considering the thunder as bis voice and the as his breath. At the same time they introduced into their worship aform of the Trinity, consisting of the Great Spirit, the sun and Mother Earth. Some of the legends in whick the aboriginal godsare introduced pos- sess no ordinary degree of interest. ‘Once upon a time there was beautifal Indian maiden who was cowpelled by ber family to engage herselt to marry ® hideous old man of her tribe. In desperation she leaped into « canoe and pushed it over the roaring breakers of Niagara, preferring the angry waters to the arms of her detested lover. But the god of thunde-, cloud and rain, who watches over the harvest, dwelt in a cave behind the rushin cataract. He caught her just as her frail barl was dashing upon the rocks below and gave her a home for many weeks in his own mysterious cavern, From him she learned many new things, among them why her people died #0 often. He told her how an enormous snake lay coiled up under the ground beneath her village, and how he erept out and poironed the springs, because he craved the flesh of human beings and could never get enough of it so jong as they disc from natural causes, The maiden remained in the cave until her ugly old suitor was dead; then she returned, and the god killed the ser- pen? with a thunderbolt. The great dead enake was so huge that when the people laid its body out in death it stretched over more than twenty arrow flights, and as it floated down the waters of Niagara ii was as if » mountain appeared above them. Its corpse was too large to ‘the rocks, so it became wedged tn between them and the waters rose over it, thus fashioning the horseshoe, which remains to this day. STORY OF THE TEN ORPHANS. ‘There was oncea strange human-like creature, consisting simply of ahead made terrific with large eyes and covered with longhair. Seen or unseen, if he saw anything that bad the breath of life he growled: “I see thee, I see thee; thou In a distant wilderness there lived ten orphans, ail brothers. They all disappeared one after another, while going to bunt, save only the youngest. He was out in the woods when he discovered an old man covered with earth. The old man said that he had a brother who was known as the Great Head—e frightful be.ng whose howling could be beard through the hurricane. The only thing he liked to cat was chunks cut from a maple tree. Accord- ingly # tree of that kind was cut down and chopped imto sections. ‘The Great Head came to the feast and was so pleased that it con- ducted the youth to the home of the witch who had eaten up the nine brothers. Between them they killed the witch and burned her to ashes. When this was done they selected what they thought were the bones of the nine brothers and placed them together. Then the Great Head cried “Awake" and the brothers all rose to life, shouting for joy. Among the most unpleasant spooks believed in by these Indians is a carnivorous ghost in the shape of a skeleton, and yet another isan apparition which emits flames of fire. THE INVISIBLE SNAKE.

Ex-Sheri® Cluley was accosted & day or two since at the corner of 6th street and Liberty avenue by a little tot, « girl, too young to talk plainly, who pulled bis coat and asked: “Do'oo know Aunt Tatie’ Somewhat surprised Mr. Cluley replied that he could not say unless be knew “Aunt Patie’s” last name. The child opined that the wanted party didn't have any last name; she was “dist Aunt Tatie.” ‘The littio one then explained that she was lost, and she was in great distress, her lips gaivering so that at times abe could scarcely #peak.

EsQUIMAU HUTS. How the Savages Live When “At Home” in Their Native Land. From Frank Leslie's Weekiy. The village of Kakwok consists of two bare- bras and one kassigima, though the remains of other huts show it to have been at one time « much larger settlement.
