Albany Argus: A few years since, when the business community was startled by the innovation of women as traveling salesmen, it was argued that they would be a success, as they could n ot fill the many social obligations required to sell large amounts, An experience of two or three years, however, has given she matter an ulllll‘el{ different aspect. It is found that the lady drummer makes n impression on the country merchant, especially in the west, where the male member of the fraternity would fail. A ocommercial man of large experience says the merchants will hold their orders for the laay drummer, even though a dozen of their own sex offer and beg to fill them on advantageous terms. Agnin, they are always in need of something when the lady drummer calls, while with the man it is more often “nnlll\nfi to-day.” The 'success of the women drummers is much more marked with the merchants of the opposite sex than with their own. Women in trade do not usmllv take kindly to women as commercial travelers and it has been suggested that in the future, when every- thing is *'down fine,” women will be em- fi:oyod exclusively to sell to the men and 0 men to take orders from the women in trade; but as only a small proportion of merchant and traders are of the gentle sex 1t is obvious that when that day comes, if 1t ever does, the ladies wili have a practical monopoly of the business, as the 1aales do now, aud the men must then find something else to do. Busy Men and Women, A busy womaun who must think, whp must care for others, whose hLeart is in her work for othavs, and whose life can- 0t be confined within four walls, or any Arrowing conventionalities, seeks her nd, and saves her precious moments by receiving her friends upon one dayin the week. fhe busy man, shut in his oflice for long hours, harassed by mnnx cares and o’wn flagellated by foes, finds it sweeter and better for the few moments' chat in some attractive home, where beauty, music and flowers give hun the L poelry to mate with his prosuie cares. Rioh New York Women. The New York correspondent of the Philadelphia Record writes: . { am every astonished at the wealth of Lhis city. ‘@ are supposed to kuow at least the names of the millionaires, or at any rate people whose fortunes amount to more than a million or two; but we do not know the half of them, and the number of wealthy women in New York is past belief. I know a lady whom nobody ever heard of outside of her own circle of acquaintance who has #5000,000 of her own, 1 known another lady who has $3,000,000; of another, recently dead, with from $5,0.0,000 to 6,000,000, These, of course, not including the well known wenalthy widows—such as the late Mrs. A T, Stewart, the Widow Hummersley, Mrs. May and a dozen others. The china and household ornaments of the Widow McCrosky were sold at auction this week. There_was nothing very striking about the collection, though it wasan expensive one, Widow McCrosky ves abont six million dollars, a large part of which is invested in the Chemical National bank. Mrs. McCrosky got n when the shares were at par. Now a share that originally cost #100 is worth £2,500; so 1if Mrs. Me- Crosky had afew hundred shares in this bank her income would have been a great deal larger than one would have thought, taking the ordinary percentage which nowadays seems to be five, I know another lady in New York who has £5.000,000 of her own, $2,000,000 of which she will settle_upon her daughter if her daughter marries to please her. 1f the daughter does not—ifshe takes it into her head to run off with the coachman— she will be cut off withashilling; at least that is what her mother says now. It is not generally given out that the mother is going to make this marriage settlement on her daughter, it were I think she would have an embarrassment of suitors. ‘I'wo million dollars 1s a good deal to set- tle upon a bride—more in fact than is wise—but I think it much better for Ithy parents to give their elildren a dowry when they marry than to give them nothing until their death, when the property is divided. The idea of mar- ringe settlements, which as a general thing is repugnant to Americans, is not a bad one.” It makes & woman independ- ent and it makes it possible for her to marry a poor man who might ve a much better husband for her than a richer one. When young men or young women have been brought up surrounded by overy luxury at home, and then get marrie and are obliged to live as though they were in straitencd circumstanc when they know at the death of their parents they are going to have all the mone they want, it makes them, I fear, look forward to the death of their parents with feelings akin to resignation. If at their marria a good round sum of money were settled upon them, I think the eftfect W be more satisfactory than is found in aaticipation. Speaking of rich women, Mrs, Fred- erick Stevens, whose marriage to the Marquis de Talleyrand has excited so much talk in fashionable circles, 18 one of the richest. Her yearly income 1s $300,000, and she gets the greater part of this from the Chemical National bank, in which she is one of the largest stock- holders. Her father, 1 believe, was one of the founders of the bank. Mrs Stevens’ relations with the Marquis de Talleyrand have been of candalous nature for a numver of years. The mar- quis, as well as Mrs. Stevens, was mar- ried, and has a_wife, a Boston woman, and a family of ebildren. He is a bril- liant man, but is extremely unpleasant to look at, and 1s an inveterate gambler, But Mrs. Stevens beeame cnamored of him and gave up husband, home and children and followed him through Europe. She came back from abroad a few months ago and went to live at New- port, that she might take advantage of the loose divorce laws of the stute of Rhode Island. -There she got a divorce ;f:r:\nml her on the plea of mos {er husband made no obj after obtaining a divorce she went back to Paris and married the Marquis de Talleyrand, who in the meantime had become divorced from his wife, on what ground [ do not know. Perhaps she got the divorce from bim, which she might ensily have done. Now anything more absurd than this vlea of non-suvport on the part of Mrs, Stevens could hardly be imagined. Mrs, Steveus is the daughter of a wealthy mer- chant of New York city by the name of Sampson, who had more money than so- cial position,and who was possessed with an ambition to get into Bociety, or at least to get his daughter in. Erederick Stevens was a young lawyer of hmited practice but high social position, and in him Mr. Sampson saw_his opportunity. The match was one of convenience, but it was a love match as well. Mr. Stovens was anxious to zo on with his business, but father-in-law Sampson would not listen to it. He made him retire from the practice of the law, and told him he would find all the busingss he wanted taking care of his wife's estate. Mr. Stevens hesitated at first, but the offer was a tempting one, and he finally ac- cepted it as a_matter of course, and he did look closely after his wife’s affairs, and they were supposed to be a hnpn.i couple as couples go; and th were, believe, until the Marquis De Talleyrand appeared upon the scene. Mrs. Stevens no sooner restod her eyes upon s ugly little face than she lost her head, and for- Fut not only common decency, but all the nstincts of a wife and mother. on, Gossip For the Ladtes.

Successfal Adaptation of Pulp toan tmportanc Industry. New York Tribune: The growing scarcity of the timber supply has given rise to the serious question of how to produce packag for oil, liquors and similur substunces which will meet the demands of the market. This question has at difierent times during the last twenty years led to various ut. tempts to produce a paper barrel which would answer all the purposes for which the wooden barrel is used. Theso attempts, bowever, have been attended with no practical success until recently, when & barrel was produced from paper pulp which scems destined to supersede the wooden article. Tts general appear- ance is that of the common wooden bar- rel thickly varpished, while OIIIY five pieces are used in making it. It is bound with ordinary wooden hoops, and the head is of one piece, so constructed that it fits into the barrel air-tight and is held firmly n place by & hoop without the use of nalls, The body is seamloss, and the intarlod and np\%-r or are g A with a substance which rénders the barrel im: pervious to moisture, so that liquids of all kinds ean be transported in it without loss. It 18 also very strong and stiff, not easily broken, dnd as the nature of the compressed paper 18 such that neither dry nor damp weather affects it, the con- tents retain all theiy aromatic qualities, There nrY nuuj' Qus other excellent qualitiés claimed for this barrel. On January 26 Thomas Donilmrty the chief flour inspector of the New York produce exchange, certiied that he had inspected 150 vyrrels of flour which had been shipped ffom u distance in these paper barrels and had found them to be all sound, It generally happens when flour is ‘liwq in wooden barrels that o %ulum ot it sifts through the eracks ere the staves join and is lost. It was found by weighing the flour shipped in runer barrels that none of it had been st in thiy manner. ‘The inventors of this process for mak- inz these barrels say that the weeds and rank grasses which grow on the meadows lving between Jersey City and Newark will produce an excellent pulp for this purpose, and that thus these practicall; waste lands may be made productive an vrofitable. The cost of manufacturing the paper barrels is no greater than that of making the wooden article, and with the putented maechine it 18 said that two wmeb aan produce 600 barrels in » day.

Where Husbands are Considerate, Atlantu Constitution: If a girl must marry, and a Brooklyn man comes along, we advise her to take him. In Brooklyn husbands know their duties, and when they fail to come up to the mark they acknowledge their short- comings and clamor for punishment, Takd a recent case. A young man ap- peared in o Brooklyn court, tho other day, and asked the judge to have him ar- rested. His honor demanded an expla- nation, and the visitor stated that he had been guilty of cruelty to his wife. When pressed for particulars he said that while he hiad not beaten his wife or neglected her for tae flowing bowl, he h been cruel to her from a financinl standpoint. In other words, he had not given her money enough to properly support her. Further questioning developed the fact that his wife had preferred no charge against him. After thinking the matter over the judge begged th l)lmf: man_to o home and give himself another trial. ho advice was accepted and the culpr left the court room. Now taking it for granted that this young man was an ave y husband, the case is rich in suggestions. Let a wife have a proper amount of firm- ness and enterprise, and it 15 plain that such a husband would be a bonanza to her. If these soft hearted Brooklyn men donot come into great demand all over the country it will be because our girls are not looking after their interests. The incident is full of encouragement, It gives us glimpses of the model husband of the future. ¥rench Marriages, London Truth: It is curious how ench grandees, who have really no ad- vantage to win by glaring publieity,court it. One sces this most perhaps, in their weddings. The rule scems to be faire autant d’er ible. Everything the bride r her family or friends is ibited. There are exbibi- bitions of her trousseau at the ware- rooms of the different trades people who have furnished Everything is on view no matter how it may be named or to what use it is destined, and the vublic are apprised through the journals in re- clames paid for at the rate of 25 francs a line, where the things are on exhibi- tion. All the modes gather around the tables, and shallow and elegantly ribboned baskets in which the intimate clothing is laid out. The demi- monde never fails to visit a show of this kind. English lingeres have rot the as- tonishing skill in getting up body linen in_which there isnothing but a very small allowance of cambric, and a very large allowance of fine valenciennes. ~ There is then the body *‘liners,” made of tussore or foulara silks and lace and ribbon. You see it all in_costly trouss: Tt used 10 be the thing for brides of high lineage to have guaker-like underclothing, but under the full cof journalism it has gone out, and is now thought old-fash- ioned and no credit to anyone. The grand exhibition is at the matinee de contrat, to which only relatives, ac- usintances and the press are invited. The journalists are requested to note the “objects de piete’’ on the bride's gift table; that is,when they are in sumptuous or very artistic settings. For instance, a scrap of tho veil in which the Virgin was churched, or an atom of the crown of thorns set in a {mvelm reliquary, is an object to be proud of.

Berry, Ll‘m Robinson of the Baptist church, eullud.” After securing the usual promises from the ‘‘young couples what had arosen up before him on that day, a-wishin to be mtea in the holy odency of wedlock,” the Rev. Berry, with glasses across his nose, head thrown majestically buck and a littlo twisting, an old’ ragged testament held aloft, and with an expression as sublime and solemn as a rock, repeated the following nrit;in:\l version of the Lord's prayer: “Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on carth as it 1s done in heaven: do you 80 promise me as to live together in the holy odency of wedlock as Jacob, Isaac, and Becky.” Give us this day our daity bread, as we forgive our debtors, and I pronounce you man and wife, and lead us not into “temptation, and if there be any man present what objects why these young couples shall not be nited in the holy odency of wedlock let them now forover spoak or hold their peace, for Thine is ihe kingdom und the power and the glory, amen!” Should Literary Chicago Times: Itis not a new ques- tion as to the advisability of marriage on the part of people who depend wholly on their brains for their support, and it is quite possible that all theve 15 to bo said abont it has heen said over and over again. It is, however, a subject of ever- present intevest, a fact which may justify some further allusions, In one of the great religious denom- inations it was found, after a long ex- veri in the case of its priests, that celiba lv\\'nx conducive to the produc- tion of higher results than marriage, and therefore the former condition was adopted and made obligatory. The reasons for the enforcement of a celibate life were few but potent; the cares of a family interfered with the performance of duty, The husband and father had little opportunity to act as a priest; if he excelled in the one capacity, he failed in the other. Literature has its priesthood, whose ministrations are as vital, as important nd as imperative in their demands as those of any religious denomination. More so, in fact, for literature embodics in its extent all that is valuable 1n human progress, divine intent and action; it as- sists in the devulovumnt of all the bene- ficial efforts of humanity, and records and preseryes its procoedings. T'o perfeetly perform this colossal, del- icate and unending labor, and to do it well, requires on the part of its servants a singleness of purpose, a clearness of thought, an exagtness in judgment which can not exist where the “external influ- ences are permitted to intermingie. The priest who ministers at the altar of litera- ture must devote his entire thought, her devotion, to the shrino at which he wor ships. He cannot, in the sacred precinets of the sanctuary, turn aside to haggle over the price of poultry, to cheapen tae cost of fuel, to wrangle over the outlay for laundry work or the monthly stipend of domestic service. The literary man and woman_are ut- terly unlike overybody else; they have their special temperaments, their mndivid- ual idiosyncrasies, their peculiar methods of thought, their positive sympathies,and dislikes, To yoke a man of this kind with an ordinary woman 18 not only to impair his capability to carry on s work, but it is to fasten on him a life of wretchedness, The same is true of the literary woman. Ally her to the average man, and she is at once provided with a ball ind chain which she must drag at every stop of her progress. While neither the literary man or woman can, with benefit, marry outside of the protession, it is mo! ngerous and deleterious to marry within it. The most undesir: of union: ¢ those in which two lite poople resort to marriage, the Brownings to,the contrary notw; ing. Where there has been one mstance of Browninglsm in matrimony there have been a thousand eases in which the direct opposite has been the result, 'hm explanation 1s \'vr" simple. A husband and wife devoted to literature clash eternally on the same plane. 1t is a case of an_encounter of theinvineible and the irresistible. The essential differ- cos of sex beget irreconeilable antagon- ism; tho respective ideals projocted by each necessarily differ as do masculine strength and feminine delies They can ot agree; it is 4 union w af- finity, 8 mechanical composition without cohesion in the particles, In the in- stance of literary men apd women who n}:\rr_\' outside of their domain, there is often more _haopiness to be found than within, and yet the rule is that such unions are disastrous. It is e Ly so with women of brains who select a part- ner from out of the masses; there are moredivorced lite women in existence than there are s of the sume pro- fession This class of woman, if she ries one of her kind, secks for intellee- domination over her hus| 1f she seeures 1t, she despises him for his weak- ness; if she loses it, she hates him asa tyrant, The liter: husband with a wifo not m sympathy with him rarely happy, and never able to accomplish the com- pleteintellectual results that he would if unincumbered by such a burden. e is demoralized by domestic wrangles, want of sympathy, and inc tact with the commonplace. all these facts, it is best that the lit people should determine on celib To marry 15 to commit intellectual b i; to diminish largely the uulit, life's services, and to add vastly unhappiness of the participants. HE LLASSOED A HUGE LION. A Cowhoy's Terrible Ride With a Screaming Panther, ast summer, while in Wyoming, I had a decidedly startling adventure,’ re- marked a young man the other day in the presence of a San it 0 Call repor- ter. And subsequently, upon being ques- tioned by the latter, he told the following remarkable but well-authenticated tale: I was in the employ of a cattle com- pany—in short “a cowboy''—and besides a natural love of adventure, which I had gratitied for several years, had, no doubt, imbibed some of that spirit of utter reck- lessness which characterizes _the class of which I was, tor the time being, a mem- ber. Early one bright morning my em- ployer sent me out to look for some horses which had strayed, he thought, somewhere in the vicinity of Lance creek (about 200 miles north of Cheyenne), only a few miles from where we were then camped. Mounted on my stout little broncho, or ‘‘cow pony,'’ I soon reached the creck, and rode slowly along its banks, keepi a sharp lookout for the missmg ai The banks of the creek were fringed with cottonwood and povplar trees, inter- mingled with clumps of osiers and a dense undergrowth, but on either side the country was open but hilly. Expe- rience had taught me to be suspicious of any tree or bush in that section large enough to ambush a human being; for, to say nothing of the white desperadoes, Sioux and Cheyenne Indians from the Pine Ridge agency were frequently met with, and, though professedly at peace, were not to be trusted. Consequently, ag Irode along, I from time to time peered anxiously i among the trecs and under- brush. I had followed the course of the creek several miles when suddenly my pony snorted and jumped to one side, almost unseating me. Perhaps ten paces in front of me, crouched as if ready to spring, were three large mountuin lions, Thad aiways had a great desire to mcet one of these creatures i his native wilds; but this was a trifle too much of a good t‘linu to suit me. Without a sec- ond’s thought, however, I whipped out my Colt’s revolver—the only weapon I had—ana fired at the group. At the re- port of my pistol two of them bounded of' through the underbrush and were soon out of sight, and the other, uttering a shrill scream, writhed for a second on the ground and then attempted to follow his compunions, limping badly. My blood was up; two of the fine crea- tures had tuken flight and without reflec- ting upon the possible consequences I put spur to my pony and dashed sftor B i o e rapidly I knew it would be impossible to shoot with nceuracy, and there was great dan- ger of the lion turning ulmn me if I ap- vroached too near. Suddenly it flashed through my mind. Why can't Insso him as I have heard of gauchos doing on the pampas? Attached to m rawhide lasso, about lt)rl.y fe i, as “ addle was my braided in length, in the use of which I had boy must, become quite end of it was firmly attached mel of my saddle, and the remainder of it carefully coiled up, was tied to the front of thé saddle by means of a couple of rawhide strings or thongs. Hastily unfastening the latter—without check- g my pony which was®vidently much excited, and inclined to sheer away from the lion—I prepared for the thrgy, 1 had used my |asso 80 much frequently domg Nittle gise but lasso or “‘rope” eat- 1o for weeks together, and it was but the work of a moment. Carcfully measuring the distance with my eye, I whirled the lasso several timesaround my head and at what seemed the proper moment let fly. The instant it left my hand my pony, as he had been trained, stopped and braced back, almost upon his haunches. My calculations had been correet, 1 saw the rope settle around the lion's neck and the next instant, when he reached thoe end of it, and tightening, it threw him on his back, he uttered the most appalling scream 1t wasever my lot 10 hear, The instant the rope became taut—you may be sure 1 did pot waste any time—I wheeled my pony in the op- posite divection; dug my spurs into his side, and darted away, dragging the lion after me. That, [ am sure, was the most exciting moment of my life. 1 did not stop to look back. simply dug the spurs into my pony’s flanks, knowing if I'reluxed my speed if for a instant, the lion might spring upon me. Even as it was I realized that at any moment nught feel the creature’s sharp claws in my back; and the particular wanner in which & mountain lion is said to kill (b; drawing back the head of its victim with one paw until the neck is broken) hap- pened at this moment to oceur to me. It was not, strictly speaking, a cheering reflection. At the commencement of the mad gal- lop when on several occasions the lasso slackened, owing to the huge bounds thé creature took, I shuddered sud crouched in my saddle, foaring that the next m ute might be my last. For a time my cs tive rent the air with his cties, which so frightened my pony that I soon saw that I need not urge him; he was doing his level best, Soon the sereaming firow less frequent and finally ceased altogether, and | noticed with satisfaction that the Insso remained perfectly taut all the time, | hen for the first time looked back and from appearances concluded that my captive was dead. I had, however, as can porhaps be imagined, a strong ' d siro to make assurance doubly sure, and rode some distance furtber before stop ing. Even then I was in no haste to dis monnt until [ had ridden around tho huge cat several times, and assured my se!f beyond all doubt that he was doad He proved to be a fine specimen, meas uring a little over four feet from snout to tail root (his tail measured twonty-six inches), but the long drag I had given him, fally naif a mile I should say, Fad almost spoiled s skin, ‘The lasso had worn completely through the skin around the neck, and buried itself in the flesh— indeed 1 bolieve if I had dragged him much further it would bave decapitated him completely. i Telegraph Operators' Becorcts, Electric Age4Every telegrapher will tell you how operators quarrel over the wire.

There is as much individuality about a man’'s sending as about his penmanship, and_he can bo as readily distinguished by it. A caso in point is relatod by Alf Saville, who worked one of the government wires bo- tween Nashville and Louisville during the war. One day, while the wires were idle, sorie one at an intermediate station calied at the Nashville office and began asking Saville a number of questions about the movement of troops and other matters connected with the army. Be- fore two minutes Saville recognized his man. George Ellsworth, what the ou doing there®” flashed Sa- ng into the middle of a sen- tence. There was a moment’s pause and then came the answer slow and hesitatingly: ‘I ‘cutin’ on the wire two days ago, and have secured a good deal of infor- mation, but [ might have got more if [ had only kept my mouth (key) shut. Good-by, Alf. Iam going.' There was a sudden click of the wire, and then the circuit closed. “Ellsworth was the celebrated con- federate operator who accompanied John Morgan in kis raids through Kentucky and Ohio, Saville and he had worked together before the war, and bad become miliar with each other’s style.” 4 S'JACOBS O], FOR NEURALGIA.
