Paris Correspondence London Tele- raph: The once famous novelist Paul eval, whose career and works bear a considerable resemblance to those of the Iate Captain Mayne Reid, died recently in the monastery of the Brother: St John of God, whither he had retired after a busy life. During the past ten or twelve vears the novelist had been the victim of pecuniary difliculties, principally owing to his having speculated 1n the Ottoman loan. He had also a large family to pro- vide for, M, Feval was a barri Bennes in the beginning of his ¢ but giving up the law he came to Paris and became a journalist. In 1841 he made his mark withthe “‘Club‘ des Phoques’ and the *‘Chevaliers du Firmament.” His were “Le Fils du B ssu,” and ‘‘The Mys- ies of London,” whichlast ran through morethan twenty editions; and was trans- lated toseveral languages: He also wrote several romantic works, sueh as ‘‘Les Belles de Fuit,” “Le Paradis des Fem- mes,” ana ‘“Mme. Gil Blas:” Of a dif- ferent cast were his *‘Oouteaux d'Or” and his “*Tiger Slayers,”” his “Black Beg- gar,” and “The Red Spot.” Toward 1876 M. Feval began to feel misgivings as to the morality ot some of hisnovels, and his conversion, or rather his return, to tholicism was announced by the re- ligious newspapers at the same time that representations were made asto hiz 13 of means.

OMAHA MAIDENS WHO WORK, Something About the Female Laboring Element of this City. WAYS. OF EARNING A LIVING. Dry Goods Clerks—Telephone Opera- tora—Pounding a Telegraph Key —Waiting on the Table—Fe- male Real Estate Agents, | Writlen for the Sunday Bee by Ajax.] Besides having some girls who are pretty, some who are stylish, some who are coquettish, some who are accom- plished,und some who are shrewd,Omaha has many who are industrious. There are any number of young ladies here who earn their own living,a nd in some in- stances that of their families. They are to be found in every class of business, from that of selling tape behind a counter to that of selling real estate. In fact, the seer who predicted that i 800 years woman will have monovolized every trade and profession to the utter exclu- sion of poor man, would groan inwardly, and perhaps outwardly, could he investi- gate woman's work in Omaha. Hundreds of girls in this city earn their living in the dry goods stores. They do nots receive princely salaries, it is true—the average being from §$20 to or $60 a month. Thirty dollars is fair pay. A9 girl sometimes starts on less salary than that mentioned above. And she advances as she masters the details of her business, ~ Occasionally, a girl may receive a higher salary, if the work she does requires extra ty or special training. The hours are from 8 or 8:30 in the morning to 5 or 5:30in the evening. As the lady clerk is on her feet most of the day, her work cannot be said to be the easiest in the world. A large number of voung ladies earn a living at short-hand work and type-writ- ing. Fifty dollars a mouth is a fair aver- age for this class of work. ny girls earn less than that amount—some of them work for $25 2 month. Oce ally a type-writist is able to do gencral office work in addition to her other du- ties, in which event she may receive a higher salar; Omaha’s teachers are proverbial for their intelligence and earn all the way from $50 to $12 a month, according to the cl they do. There are about fifty ladies employed in the Union Pacitic headquarters. They do their work neatly and well, receivi in the way of compensation from $25 to $100 a month. One lady is said to re- ceive $125 a month, Girls who drift into railronding do not believe in marrying, if therecords of the Union Pacific head- quarters may Ye taken for a test. Many of the ladies in the employ of that road have worked at the same desk for yenrs, and have probably by this time aban- doned all ideas of ‘“‘double blessedness.” The county court house clerical forces are largely made up of ladies, who earn all the way from $30 or $40 to $90 or $100 & month. Abstracters command good wages. The bevy of young ladies who work within the four "wails of this build- ing include frisky, demure, lively, staid, handsome and " homely specimens of femininity. None of these damsels were ever known to flirt—except in » quiet, genteel way. They are, on the whole, a very proper, well behaved set of girls. Quite a number of young Ilndies earn a living as operators in the telephone ex- change. The work is hard and thankless —so far ¢ the majority of subseribers is concerned. The average salary is $30 or $35 aollars a month, though the beginner starts in at $20. The head operator re- ceives $50 & month. There are several lady telegraph opera- tors in Omaha. They are rap intelli- gent and sk in the expert manipuls tion of the ki They can earn nearly as much as tl brother operator: Two ladies in this city are engaged in the business of selling real estate. Sue- cessful? Well, most assuredly so.

She has patienc coolness, shrewdness, and a certai ity very essential her ecalling—which some people call *“‘cheek.” So that she erally succeeds in anything she under- takes. A very large number of girls in Omaha ‘earn their living by “‘waiting upon the table.”” Whereas in the large hotels and restaurants the colored and white waiters are to be found,the patrons the smaller hostelrics and eating houses ate served by nimble waitresses. are usually as rapid and correct in ng orders as ths average colored waiters, though they are not, to be sur paid as well. They receive from $3 to a week and board. There are a few Omaha girls who earn their daily bread by setting type. Some of them are experts and command good wages. They have a softening, refining influence on their male fellow printers, it 18 said, and serye to keep up a proper standard of decorum in the composing rooms with which their presence in blest, ‘The scope of this article will not per- mit even a passing allusion to the other vocations which afford the young women of Omaha an honest and honorable livelihood. They are to be found every- where, in the public oflices, in retail stores, in wholesale establish- ments,and in the offices of the army of pro- fessional men of Omaha. They do their work well and they do it intelligently. All honor to them! For in this age of “‘gilded vice,” when sin is made to appear so attractive to the nocent or thoughtless, it is a su- perb tribute to the character of any woman to say that she toils for her hv- ing. e To cure rheumatic or other pains, take a piece of thick flannel, saturate it well with Dr. J.

From Harper's Weekly: A young lady told me once of attending a littie Catho- lic church 1n the country near where she was pussing the summer. Being a regzu- lar attendant at a large city church of that faith, she was painfully conscious of the florid and pretentious “chargyeter of the music attempted by the ambitious little choir, and of their absolute hopeless inability to perform it. ‘Che relation be- tween the pastor and congregation was evidently of the simplest and most unaf- cted nature. In the “‘Gloria’ there ‘oc- urred a lonz and showy soprano solo, in cheap imitation of the Italian sty The young woman who attempted i sang gnfly on until the clergyman evi- dently thought that she nad enjoyed her fair shure of attention and glory. Accord- ingly he raised his hand as a signal and the music d, “Let that young girl with the rea feather have done singin’ and let Mary Aunn Quilty sing the rest.” There was a little hesitation in the choir, and he re- sumed The service will not go on till Mary Ann has a show.” Accordingly Mary Ann took her in- nings, and the young girl with the red feather was left nowhere. THE SALVATION ARMY. “Happy Bob,” Under Sentenco of Death, Gives His Opinion of It. Robert Van Brunt, lately a prominent member of the Salvation Army, is under sentence of death at Rochester for the murder of young Roy. From an inter- i reporter of the Democrat is made: n Brunt, you seem to place litide. nce upon the final result of this huped for avpeal to the ligher courts, nnd you seem to clearly realize that your life is' ended, and that the dreadfuk event cun at most be postponed but a little. Now, with these grave convic- tions in your mird, I wish you would telk me something about the true inwardness of this Salvation Army to which you be- longed.” Van Brunt, who is only twenty-three, years of age, meditated a moment, eyed gxiq questioner curiously, and then langhed a bit in a peculiar manner to himself. “I think,"ne said, after a httle,“I think w good people yet in the I mean people who really want to benefit mankind, but I tell you most of the soldiers, and ofticers particularly, are thinking more of womankind,” and the face of the man, who in due course of the law had less than ten days before his death on the gullows, took on a wicked leer, which startled even the experienced interviewer, who was mentally, but none the less unerringly, notwithstanding the testimony of one who knew that he was facing almost certain if not immediate death, . **I ought to know this Sulvation Arm; continued the condemned murderer, his tell-tale face adding strange cmphasis to his candid words. ‘I ouzht to know them; 1 have been there myself and the have talked with me about it.” i 88 of young girls drawn gs,” he went on, “who are easily enough influenced by the of- ticers, and are controlled by the ofticers and men for their own purposes and for bad purposes, and_those are the girls they are aftes. I don't know as ['can just exactly describe the influence they have over them, butit just controls them, and lots of them have this influence.” “Perhaps they mesmerize them,’ y suggested the newspaper man, '* suid the slayer of Roy and the r, ‘I putit all down as “You know thjis is the general char- er of these ‘soldiers you associated th, then?” persisted the newspaper man. “Yes; | know it from my own experi- ence, and I have talked it all over with tie ofticers.” r “I imagine you mean yourobservation, not your personal experience.'’ “Yes: I mean my observation,” and again the uncanny, salicious expression stole over the features of the man, and the visitor did not regret that his disa- greeable task was 1 ly ended. *Van Brunt,” said he, “from what you know of this army, and from tie position in which you lind” yourself, what do you think of the general effect of tlie practi- ces of this Sulvation army?'’ The witness was & competent one, and it was the last question the interviewer ever expected to address to Robert n Bru nd the answer came with a rapid- ity that carried conviction with it 1 totd you some good people the Salvation army, but the wears off 1n two or three weeks, and lhe{ get to be us bad as the rest. 1f the Sal- vation army altogether was swept from the earth 1t would be better; betier for everybody.” insm ———— Ray Palmer’'sson, Rev. Charles Ray er, thus explains the story that his fas mous hymn, "Mi‘ Faith Looks Up to Thee,” has two stanzas less than the original draft handed to Dr. Lowel Mason, The truth avout that is, that his father translated from the German two stanzas describing a suppli- ant before the cross, and then added two more as the suvpliant's utterance, and these were the first two of the hymn as itnow ap- pears, The translated v were never used, CHILDREN'S DEPARTMENT.
