J. c. a ? ULI ' LAT * KS. FRANK LESLIE. T?lK W1TCUINU WIDOW'S WO UK. "*' How a Pretty Voting Willow Struggled nml Tolled uiul Achieved n Triumphant Sac* ?.OKS. Prom tue Now York Journalist. lt lins so often been slated that .'women know no tb lng ol* business,*' that it has come to bo accepted as a truism by unthinking people. Yet hundreds of business men owe not a little ol' their success to cool-headed, sagacious wives. A frequent modifi cation ol'the first statement is thal "women excel in small economics, bul are unable to grasp huge business enterprises," or if thov do they become masculine ami lose that gracious femininity which is (lie principal charm ol' VOIP.m. The utter (nisi ty ol' theso statements is nowhere more Strikingly shown than in the case ol' Mrs. Frank Leslie. With executive ability, capacity *or work ami news paper goulus possessed by lbw men, she proservos till tho charin of her womanhood and is as popular in tho social as iii tho business world. Through the loree ol' hoi" own personality, she is at once one of tho most attractive as well ns most important flgui'OS in tho profession of journalism. For Mrs. Leslie was a journalist, and a good one loo, before -he became the head ot the great publishing house which boars her name In the management of her ten publications, employing '!<>() edi tors, artists, engravers, printers and others, Mrs. Leslie lins displayed tho very highest business qualities. An untiring- worker, she ?< lound in hoi' office every dav, from nine lo four o'clock. She sign-; ali the checks and money orders, makes all contracts for supplies of ivory sort, looks over proofs of all anides before they are published, and approves the make-up of every periodical before it is sent to press. Slie is the head ol' thc whole establishment. No woman in Amer ica bas illustrated higher and grainier qualities-a broader capacity, a loftier courage, or a more indomitable per severance under tho storm and pres sure ol' heavy difficulties and burdens -than she. The story ol her life reads like a romance. Miriam Florence Foll?n v? as born in the French quarter of New Orleans, she began early to write for the magazines, her first ap pearance in print being at tho age of tl; lr teen. She was a hard student and an accomplished linguist. She trav eled extensively ami published several interesting volumes giving thc results of her journeyings. 11 ci- literary work was crisp, frosh and evidencing that editorial faculty for getting at ibo root of thing- which has been so re markably developed in her later work. From the date ol her marriage to Mr. Leslie she became his most valued ad viser and most efficient coadjutor in all matters a licet lng tho make-up ol him many publications. She assumed at. once tho editorship of the J.urfi/'s JfagaxinCf and maintained ll general anti careful supervision over thc con tents of all tho other periodicals. To rare literary ability, Mrs. Leslie added unusual business capacity, and her husband soon found her advice no less valuable regarding tho mechanical and business departments of his establish ments than concerning the lei tor-press of his publications, when Mr. Leslie died in 188? there was no time left foi the beautiful young widow lo mourn. ?She was mid is as dainty and relined as the niosi tenderly cherished lady alive, yet Ibero were before her stern, unpleasant duties Which demanded thc bonne strength that often fails II powerful man. Tho Frank Leslie business allah's scemni almost hope lessly entangled. The high credit, tin existence itself ol tho house, were imperilled. A great -tim of money ivus needed, and needed at once. By a legal process and in response to her husband's wish, Mrs. Loslic abandoned her Christian name ol Mariam Florence and became in thc law and to Ibo world "Frank" Leslie. To thc business world she becalm even more than Frank Leslie. Whet the slender, sweet-faced, gontlc-voicct woman walked into hoi' husband'.' office, and pulling back the sail an llOUIIoing folds of her crepe veil announced she had come to slay, hoi gentle, gracious femininity won thc sympathy of those about her. lim when she caine tho next day as carl} asijie earliest clerks, and tho next du\ and tho next, .something more timi respect and sympathy for tito brave little woman came hilo their regan for ber. She sat al her desk like a Napolcot over his war maps. She developed it remarkable faculty of knowing IU5WS, for seizing upon ibo very things thal caught and charmed the public mind. A thousand and ono thing? in thc history of Illustrated newspapers originated in her brain, (ji)d were executed for hov papers. All day Jeni/ she bent to her desk, and was her own wise counsellor. The best ol'it. all was, that Frank Leslie was not afraid, Jiig contracts did not frighten he?, note* to pay did not causo her to gol nervous, reading Interminable page of proof did not fret her, thinking oui new features for her paper did nol perplex ber. Always cheery in hoi speech, and with consid?rale and hope ful words for her employes, it is ne wonder that both men ami women foll in love willi tho new Frank Leslie and gave her the best work of which they were capable. Tho dying wisll?? oj Frank /.esl?e hayo bren carried out, but only after his widow has encoun tered and trhirnphod ovfiv one long succession Of difficulties and ob?-lacles. Her pluck and gcnuinejiibilil v b.?s wet.' for the hearty sympathy and kindly feeling of the newspaper prose. The average journalist is a gentleman, and if there is one thing which he admires more than another ll ls''grit." Abil ity he lespects, but courage, especially in a beautiful woman, he enthusiasti cally admires. Mrs. Leslie said the other day that she had never been attacked, but had always received f)i0 kindest treatment at tho hands of tho gentlemen of the press, lt is but just to add th. i. she luis deserved every word of prn'i. e which has been bestow, ed upon her. Thc story of the wav she worked up (he murder of President '.Garfield abundantly justifies her rank among thc foremost editors on the weekly press. It was only a short lime after she came into possession of the property that garfield was assassinated. Tho first rumors of the event rea obed her about half-past nine on Saturday . morning, .lilly 2. Within an hour two : artists were on their way to Washing ton, and before sunset were diligently at work sketching tho scones of Ibo. tragedy. Oue of (hem returned to Now York by tho midnight train with their united sketches. The wholo atairhnd been ordered to report tor (July early ?uuday morning, and, by diligent work that day, tho following night, and through thc fourth of July, the paper was able to como out on Tuesday morning with lull illustra tions of the chiof events and person ayes Tho following Friday an extra number was issued, and on thc noxt Tuesday the regular edition, with fuller details and illustrations-making three illustrated papers published in a single week, an achievement without parallel in newspaper history. Thc death of Garfield made a still severer demand on Mrs. Loslio's ability to grapple with a crisis. It occurred late on Monday evening, September 19, and tho ..Illustrated" newspaper had gone lo press when (he ncws arrived. She immediately ordered the presses stop ped, destroyed the part of thc edition already published, set the whole force of the establishment at work preparing a new edition with engravings of tho sketches sent in over early Tuesday morning by thc artists at Klbcron, and before Wednesday night had on sale a paper full of illustrations of the death bed scenes. A week later she seized another opportunity. The body of tho dead President Garfield was to bc conveyed to Washington on the Wednesday after his death, and funeral services to he held in (he Capitol on Friday, before the removal of the remains for Cleveland for the dual ceremonies. .Mrs. leslie resolved to anticipate (ho usual day of publication the following week, and deposit in Cleveland papers containing- full illus trations of the scenes at Washington on Monday morning. She sent for the President of the American News Com pany, and communicated hoi* purpose ile was incredulous and doubtful: she insisted it could be dono and should bo dom*, and it was. Not less than 30,000 copies of tho "Weekly" were sent lo Ulovolaud, where they sold so readily that it is believed as many more could have been easily disposed of. Such achievements as these soon vindicated Mrs. Leslie's claim to suc ceed the founder of the great publishing louise. Thc expenses were necessa rily enormous, hut thc outlay was more than returned in a circulation higher than the paper had ever before rcaehed, and in thc establishment of public confidence ill the new pub lisher. There iii nobody in tho busi ness who possesses more thoroughly the confidence ot tho heads of tho great news companies with whom publishers of illustrated papers must have tho most int?malo relations. The money got from the enormous sale of the week nt the lime of Hie Garllold assassination was that which largely repaid the loan from Mrs. Smith and put thc great house upon its feet again, lt is now a splendid property, worth nearly or quite a million dollars and this lady is tho owner and head of it all. Personally Mrs. Leslie is a most channing woman, a petite, graceful ligure, a shapely, well poised hc.id, set upon perfect neck and shoulders, and crowned with mass of golden brown hair, "a head full of first qual ity brains," as au enthusiastic writer rccoilly remarked. She has a (dear, bright complexion, and the most glo rious great ?rey eyes imaginable. ISyes full of sympathy, of kindliness, ol' laughter. Mer Kindness toward \ oung writers is well known. She ie ever ready with advice, and oftentimes unostentatious yet substantial assis), ance, lt is difficult to indicate in cold type thoohnrm of a thoroughly woman ly womanhood like Mrs. Leslie's. There is that subtle magnetism which words cannot express. Her voice is i singularly sweet and pleasing and in I speech s|?(> ?s winning and direct. She 1 dresses with exquisite taste. In her ; office in plain business-like black, hut at the opera and receptions she is ? splendid ill diamonds and laces thal 1 were earned by thc resources ol her own strong brain.

At least the contest over the vetoed pension bills mid tile situation of the appropriation bills in the Senate have caused our lawmakers ia both cuds of tho Capitol to settle down to Hie iden of such a fate.
