As the pens of corlrespoundent:;
have fallen into the hlanlds mtf womeni
has there beeln manifested a dispo
sition to .,correct the tendency of C
correspondence toward deteriora
tion into gossip ? In spite of the It
indiscreet anti nniwonuanly revela
tions made 3'y moise femalet writers,
do we finll the general result to iH' "
an increasing reslect for individu
ality, a gradual disuse of person- i

we sec an intelligent recognition and Si
observance of the forms of society, of
which, though sometimes apparent- ti
ly arbitrary and sometimes really d
irksome, do yet constitute the lest g
available and the certainly indis- oi
pensable protection of the individual U
against society, the reign of consti- p
tutional law as against anarchy, St
without wvhich life becomes intoler- W
able and fruitless? TWhen we hear 1:
that a woman is att~ched to the hi
staff of reporters, do feel that now w
we slldi creep out from under the u
dinner-table, disentangle our feet P1
from court-trains, take it for granted bi
that everybody wears his best as
clthes in company, and enter the bl
circle of real inteete, of close sacme I
tiny, and careful comparisons, and
keen analysis, and high aim, and le
just award? Do public officers, th
members of state or national legis- cil
latures, and all who directly concern fa
themselves in the ship of state, feel nc
an assurance that when women are th
on the witnessing stand official acts laI
and deliberations are subjected to a ne
vizer scrutiny; that trivial or, irrele- to
vant facts will be left in the back- th
ground, and only those which are A
pertinent tronght forward; that th
falsaeness, chicanery, and sophistry
will stand a greater chance of being wi
detected, and sense and honesty i,
and compreenaivenem.a greatr
chance of being recognized; that
personal liking and disliking will be
laid aside, and motives and methods
judged abstractly ; that clap-trap
will lose power, and quiet ability
come to the front; that business
shall be undestood, and progress
signified, and work not to be mis
taken for idling, nor an itching for
notoriety be mistaken for spirited
patriotism ?
It must.be admitted that women
will find it no easy task to outstrip
the best class of male correspond
ents. It will not be denied that
there are among the latter men of
eminent ability and integrity, who
can see and report with equal clear
ness; who understand that the
part of a correspondent is not' to
nurse prejudice, nor indulge pre
dilection, nor confirm opinion, nor
', even to enforce doctrine, but, as far
as possible, to put his reader in
possession of the situation ; who
are aidble to comprehend it because
they are the peers of those who
make it; men whose views are
wont to be comcet, whose jlu
ment is basced on their views, and,
therefore, likely to be sound, and
whose opinions and co-operation
are, therefore, apt to be sought in
shaping action ; men who do not
boast. of their power or prowess,
who apparently do not think of it,
who are simple, direct, and un
consHCious in their business, and
whose influence, springing from
qualities, rather than position, is as
wholesome as it is widespread.
Am I wrong in believing that
this clauss is not perceptibly in
er easesl by re- nftorements from
the ranks of women ? I do not deny
'that, among female correspondents
- there are women of spotless charac
ter and brilliant parts; but, as things
iare, is it possible they should equal
lmen in the possession of political
n innluence and of political intelli
Sgence ? The ntan is in constant
contakLt with men and face ti face
, with events. If he is at the Capital,
I he goes everywhere-to committee
roomns, to the departments, to the
,. newspalH'r offices- at all hours;
n wherever meaUtres are under dis
cussion, there is he, to judge for
a himself. He becomes as familiar
s with the working of the machinery
as the machinist, and he follows the
course of legislation with entire un
" der:;tandiing. A woman takes ob
servations from the galleries, where,
with close attention, she can lpr
hiaps make out the words of one
s l,:tker in ten in the one house,
and in the other vainly wishes she
could hear ten speakers in one.
Tlhat is a fragment of such part of
3 legislation as appears on the surface
she sees; but of that large part
wlhich goes on out of sight she
necessarily learns only by hearsay
or from the male reporter. Nor is
it easy to see how it can well be i
otherwise.
Even if sdie have a thorough un- I
derstanding of parliamentary law,
- and if she ie so constant and on- 1
tlhusiastic in her attendance upon I
,legislative assemblies as to under
I stand all the windings and turnings
of bills and all the meanings of mo- I
.tions, she still labors under serious
Sdisadvantages. Unless she can for-a
Sget she is a woman, and make every
one else forget it, too, and mingle t
I as a man among men, it seems im- I
.possible that she should compete C
successfully with men. Woi~ien i
write eloquently and well upon a
pa:triotism, statesmanship, and the (
higher, life, in the albtract; but
when they come to definite meas
ures, and make application of their
principles, they are just as likely to
blame and praise in the wrong place
as are men, and just as likelyto
blame and praise in the wrong place
as in the right one! d
Thiere are women who write bet- i
ler letters than men could do under I
the same chrcnumstances; but the I
circumstances are an insmperable d
fact. No law hinders. Custom has e
nothing to do with it. Itise simply
that the writer i a woma and aa
lady, and caot bring herself-- a
never thinks of bringing haeself- -i
to do what men do imtlimbively in a
the line of the mane pr5.esion *
And, M bshe did it, it woonid not he Ii
the same thing. P
&senic politias, them, is c iedy 4
what i left tb bher of teal politi :a
if, indeed, 'tbat be real polities.
!r Certainly it is that pant of politics
Lt which least needs cherishing. It is
e politics just dipping into personali
Is ty-personality the least offensive,
p it is true, but politics the least im
y proving, either to politician or con
k stituent. Congress is public pro
a perty ; and I suppose we have a
i- perfect right to gaze at its members
r from the galleries, and pen-photo
d graph their Sphinx-like faces, their
haughty lips, their beetling brows,
a their opal eyes, and their majestic
p noses, for circulation in the rural
- districts. To be snre, I never saw
t a congressman who looked any
more like a Sphinx than he did like
a lynx, or any other sort of cat or
wild beast whatever ; though, for
a that matter, I never saw a Sphinx,
and am; therefore, no judge of
- sphinxitic physiognomy. But has
r this kind of criticism a tendency to
r make or to keep public men up
1 right ?. So far as it has any in
) fluence at all, is it not to call of at
e tention from careful, conscientious,
impartial work, and to make a man
rather aspire to present a good ap
pearanee on the public stage ? Al
ready that tendency is sunficiently
sI trong. A "spicy scene," a piquant
repartee, will be telegraphed from
one end of the country to the other ;
when careful research and solid ar
gument, that really advance the
case and would really infdiny the
Speople, are buried past resurrection
I in the colunts of'the ('ongrEv'sioeal
S(lthle'. But women fall into this
current, and float along with it
rather than resist it. They do it
t not only in Congress, but they do it
everywhere. If they are reporting
the proceedings of their own con
ventions, they will give yon the
color of the feather in Phoebe Coz
zen's hat ; hut Mrs. Howe's weigh
tiest epigram they will leave you to
learn from a chance comer or from
a male reporter. If you remonstrate
with them, they say the publishers
want it. It is personality that is
most in demand. Every fresh batch
of eyes and noses, of ample cloaks
and leonine hair, is in response to
:t fresh call. They are valued as
letter-writers because they do this
kind of thing so well. And it has
even happened that a man has
been asded at headquarters whether
he could not fashion his letters a
little more like those of his wife-
headquarters not being aware that
the lady in question was his wife.
Yes, but the worst crime of which
we can accuse a isman is yielding to
temptation. Not the most wily and
wicked politician that ever wrought
it except for the sake of procuring I
some good to himself. How are ,
women to introduce incorruptilili- I
ty into politics if at the first stroke
of the ,nblishler's wand ihey con- t
sent to descend ? Why is it worse
for a man to vote below his best
than it is for a woman to write be
low her best ? Why is it worse for
a politician'to "talk buncombe"
than.it is for a woman to write it ?
RI Hl.. ! To be sure it does. The
very worst letter to which I have
referred--the one whose pen was
dipped in venom to describe a
comrade-was copied into other
papers as a "charming" letter. But
are women coming into political
and public life to confirm or to
colmbat trivial taste and low inclina
tion ; to render public serviee
more effective, or to obtain a share
of the spoils;to minister more
skillfully to the love of gomuip, or to
substitute for it something worthy
of both men and womet ?
Itrsr lef is Pfkiladlphisa. (

will completely revolutionize the
most trade of the Atlantic coast
cities, and have a marked effect
upon the Western trade in cattle
and beef, as cattle in Texas are
worth only from three to five dol
lars a head, and dressed beef, in fair
conditiop, can he furnished at less
than three dollars per hundred
weight, delivered on shipboard in
Galveston harbor. Mutton can also
be delivered in the same way, at
the same port, for an almohst merely
nominal price. Refrigerator ships,
if they succeed, may even bring
beef from South America. The
effect of this upon some of our
Northwestern industries can be
conceived.
DISCOVERY OF COFFEE.
Toward the middle of the fifteenth
century, a poor Arab was traveling I
through Abyssinia; and, finding him
self weak and weary from fatigue, I
he stopped near a grove. . Then be- I
ing in want of fuel to cook his rice.
he cut down a tree which happened
to be covered with dead berries.
His meal being cooked and eaten, I
the traveler discovered that the half I
burned berries were very fragrant.
He collected a number of these, and t
on crushing them with a stone, he
found that their aroma increased to
a great extent. While wondering i
at this, he accidentally let fall the I
substance in a can which contained l
his scanty supply of water. Lo, I
what a miracle! The almost putrid
liquid was instantly purified. He
brought it to his lips; it was fresh,
agreeable; and in a moment after
the traveler had so far recovered t
his strength and energy, as to be
able to resume his journey. The
lucky Arab gathered as many ber
ries as he could, and having arrived
at Arden, in Arabia, he informed the c
mufti of his discovery. That wor
thy divine was an inveterate opium
smoker, who had been sunlfering for
years fromn the inflnence of that
poisonous drug. He tried an in
fusion of the roasti i I erries, and
was so delighted at the recovery of I
his own vigor, that in gratitude to
the tree he called it cahuah, which j
in Arabic signifies force. And that
is-the way in which coffee was dis
covered.
cAPACITY OF THE NEGRO.
The editor of the Le'i.ure Hour, a
London publication, has recently
visited America, and gives the fol
lowing with regard to the capacity
of the negro for acquiring educa
tion:
As to the intelleotual capacity ofl
colored children, 1 prefer quotin
testimonies of r'ore weight than
my own. Rev. Mr. Zincke says:
"I must confess my astonishm'ent
at the intellectual acuteness dis- a
plalaik by a class of dolored pupils. la
They had acqunired, in a short space o
of time, an amount of knowledge J
truly remarkable, Never, in spy fa
school in England, and I have vis- 2
ited many, have I found the pupils I
able to comprehend so readily the n
senses of their lessons; never have
I heard pupily ask questions which
showed a clearer comprehension of
the subject they were studying."
Nor is this intelligence mere "quick
ness at the npsake," as the Scotch
call it, or precocious ancuteness in
acquiring knowledge soon to be
forgotten. M. IHippean visited
Oberlin College, and what he saw
entirely confirmed the opinions
formed in the schools of the South.
'"The colored girls of the highest
lsmes,"pe'esys,"appeared in no ease I
inferior to their white companions o
otheuam eage." In 1868 thde- ti
gee of B. A. was conferred .upon
Wlteen yoang olored women. The ii
poineipal of the collegein his ad'
drem to the student., stated that in

Critical Prril of Iames Life.
t
From the age of forty to that of
sixty, a man who properly regulates
himself, may be considered in the
prime of life. His matured strength
of constitution renders himself al
most impervious to the attack of
disease, and all his functions are in
the brightest order. Having gone
a year or two past sixty, however,
he arrives at a critical existence;
the river of Death flows before him,
and he remains at a standstill. But
athwart this river is a viaduct, called
" The turn of life," which, if eroed
in safety, leads to the valley of "Old
Age," round which the river winds,
and thej flows beyond without a
boat or causeway to effeot its pan.
sage. The bridge is, however, con
strqited of fragile materials, and
it depends upon how it is trodden
whether it will bend or break.
Gout, apoplexy, and other had char
acters, are also in the vicinity to
wa3'land the traveller, and thrust
him from the pass; but let him gird
up his loins, and provide himsel
with perfect composure. To quote
a metaphor, the " Turn of life " is
either into a prolonged walk or into
the grave. The system and power,
having reached their utmost expan
sion, now begin either to close like
flowers at sunset, or break doawn at
once. One injudicious stimulant,
a single fatal excitement, may force
it beyojod its strength; whilst'a care
ftif supply of props, and the with
drawal of all that tends to force a
plant will sustain it in beauty and
in vigor until night has nearly set
in.
