WAITING AND WORKING. From the FaU Mall Gazette. The most uncompromising advocate of woman's rights, especially of her right to work, which no one denies, and the satisfac tory accomplishment of which no one but LerRelf prevents, Bbrinks from putting forth the theory that her self-support should super sede matrimony, or that, if married, her pro fession should be superior to her wifely du ties, and her devotion to the first be bought by the sacrifice of tho last. That marriage should be the only profession for which women are educated is unquestionably an evil in a society like ours, where the redun dancy of women is one of the most desperate difficulties of the day; but that marriage should be the chief object of her social life, the destiny most desired and for which she is best fitted, is only natural and right. This is scarcely denied by anyone; but, they argue, waiting the event, and in face of the dispro portion of the sexes, it is only fair to lot the women try their hands at a far more multifa rious range of work than any they have yet undertaken, and learn how to suppot themselves in case they do not marry. But it is this very fact of waiting the event which of itself destroys the worth of women's work. If they are to do any good they ought to give themselves up to a profession as wholly as men give themselves up, to serve as long an apprenticeship, be content with as moderate pay in the beginning of things, and think themselves as well rewarded if the arduous labor of their best years will give them just sufficient to live on in old age, which is the life's history of the great majority of second class successful men, though one Boes the prize of rapid fortune, and more than com petency for the remainder of a life by no means past its prime, fall to the lot of a few. : Still, the rule is bard work for over forty years, and just enough to live on for ten or fifteen more. But most women are very strongly disposed to demand masters' wages for 'prentice work; they think they ought to compete on equal terms with men, though they have only immaturity and inexperience to oppose to long and steady training. Again, women as a class are not content to give themselves up to a profession and to forego thereby all chance of marrying. They say they do not see why they should, and that as men can be men of business and husbands, why may they not also be women of business and wives? They do not, or rather they will not, see that the objections of sex are not hindering in a man, while they are eo is a woman; and that a man may be a devoted husband and a first-rate man of busi ness, while a woman could scarcely carry on her business with thoroughness and be at the same time a good wife, a good mother, and a satisfactory house-mistress. She mH9t sacri fice one or other li.ie, and delegate either her family or her profession to assistants and sub ordinates. If the example of French women, notably Parisiennes, is cited against this theory of the unfitness of m.vried women for active business, then the domestic arrange ments of French women mi?8t also be adopted to make the parallel correct; and the two, or at most three, children .allowed to a marriage must be sent out to nurst and the mothers obligation to the infant C6se with the mere fact of giving it life. But tL' profession of a woman would never be more to the great majority a majority so great that the minority remaining need not count than a mere stopgap, "waiting the event;" and the natural reasoning would always be, of what good to spend the best part of my life in learning for the sake of the future, when any day may see the whole thing blown to the winds, and myself married and without any further need of what I have learned so laboriously and at such sacrifice ? She can earn a little by her bad 'prentice work, and she thinks the bird in the hand better than those half-dozen in the bush which she may never have occasion to catch. This is one of the reasons, among some others, why women's work is inferior to men's. They will not give the time necessary for thorough training; they will not wait patiently, as men must do, from seed time to harvest, staying out the gradual ripening in quietly watching the right moment for putting in the sickle; they mow green, and then wonder that their crop is light and their gains few. One of the worst things about this ques tion of woman's work is the insane neglect and degradation of such duties as they can do in favor of those they cannot. Every duty hitherto assigned to them which they can ehiiftle off their own shoulders and lay on the shoulders of some one else they do, and all the work which is theirs by right of natural fitness they have degraded as "menial" and "unladylike." They have shown themselves utterly incapable of dignifying any work whatsoever, and they have rested their claims to be considered ladies on that most misera ble of all foundations, their uselessness. But even now, when so much f healthier spirit is being aroused, they set themalves steadily against their natural plaoe In the ralfl aiJPp to fill that of men, and while work is waiting" to be done which only they can do, are spend. cuergies in trying to snare in that lor which mere are too many bettor qualified oiiu uouget canaioates already Every house keeper of a certain position in London knows the extreme difficulty there is in obtaining good assistance of any kind. Take the question of needlework alone. A low-class needlewoman may be found at eighteenpence a day, quali fied to do only the coarsest kind of work, and euch as is set her.. To be sure there are court milliners whose bills make any one under J""11.?118"6 turn cold' and there are wretched "little dressmakers deficient in every requi site of their trade. But there is no work woman of taste and intelligence who will go out for good wages to make dresses at a cost something below the court milliner's, and with a result above the "little" dressmaker's There is nothing "menial" in this there need be nothing unladylike or unrefined. A woman of a certain taste and culture would meet with nothing to offend her, aud she would be doing no lower "art" than the miserable stuff turned out ry schools of design and the like For dress properly considered is art, and is ugly or beautiful just in proportion to the want of cultivation or the artistio percep tion of the setters of fashion and deHigners of patterns. Again, good nur scry governesses by the day are al most impossible to be had. Women who ask too much for the little they are required to give, or women who are not fit to teach at all, may be found in nlfintv- Ln good "grounding" governess, of moderate but 6ufncicient salary, may often be looked for all through London in vain. And can any sane person tell us why women, one of whose natural functions it is ta cook, have releoated this most important office to untaught, igno rant villnge wenches, who do more harm tbau the best doctor can ever put right, and who sap the very foundations of health from the earliest years f There ia nothing in cooking that should disgust even ladies. When women are crying out for leave to dissect dis eased human bodies, we cannot think that takiDg up & piece of meat on a fork and put ting it into a stew-pan is work that degrades or should revolt them. And good cooking is B thing that would be paid highly if done as an art and science combined. But it is scouted as not to be thought of for any one with edu cation or brains: though office work, and copying dull legal documents, and mixing up pills as apothecaries, and other of the utterly uninteresting work of men, is , clamored for because denied. We are afraid the fact is that women want notoriety in their work, and more, they want pay for play. , They are not content to do quiet, useful, unobtrusive work In their own path as men are obliged to do in theirs. (Jnine ipnotvm pro magmfico; hence they envy men, and think their lives something infinitely gratifying as compared to their own home duties, and because they will not put any intellect or education into those duties, deny that they could if they would, and affirm that the duties are to blame, not their own want of interest in them. But the dull work of life has to be done by some one, and all men's work is not interesting or amusing or rich in pay and kudon. Men know that the really useful and influential man, in a public office say, is one who is never spoken of, and that the most successful member in the House is he who is best coached. But what woman of the new school would consent to be the hidden wire-puller, the unacknowledged coach ? The greater the publicity, the more she would be gratified. Lady Amberley, in her late speech, spoke bitterly about the lowness of woman's pay, and Rttid she cannot get as much as men for work done as well as men can do it. This we distinctly deny. If she does as good work as men she gets the same wages, aud it is be cause her work is not bo good that she is paid at a lower rate. Women themselves acknow ledge this, if by nothing more striking than the wages they pay their servants, the differ ence they themselves make between a butler and a parlor maid, who perform substantially the same offices. Until, then, all the work which women can do, and which they ought to do, is brought up to the highest point of perfection of which it is capable, until they have learned how to ennoble their own natural work, to make it stand higher in the professional scale, and to obtain lor it better payment because of its greater perfectness, they have no right to any of those offices naturally appropriated by men. It is childish, to say the least of it, to leave one's own ground untilled out of en vious desire to drive one's neighbor's plough; but this is what women are doing now when they wish to leave their houses and their children to servants that they may push their husbands, Bona, and brothers from their places when they think the hundreds saved by good management sordid, and the twenties gained by bad work sublime. THE ADMINISTRATION AND TIIE CASE OF CUBA. From the X I'. Herald. What do the friends of Cuba propose? With the resolution presented by Mr. Banks' committee we find this fault from the rejec tion of such a resolution by either house or by both houses of Congress Spain in her in human conduct of the contest in Cuba might draw very great comfort and encouragement, v hile in the adoption of the same resolution there would assuredly not be an equivalent favor for Cuba; for the resolution is far from extravagant in the attitude it proposes for the Uni ted States. It instructs the President to declare and maintain a strict neutrality be tween Che parties; it gives to Cuba for this purpose a quasi national position before our Jaw by applying to ner me statute 01 ibis, and it proposes a remonstrance to both sides against their acts of barbarous cruelty. There is bo little in this to comfort any friond of Cuba that we do not Bee but what the Fresi dent in his objections to granting belligerency is bo near to the chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs that the difference between them is finally the rather insubstantial one of tone and sentiment. Mr. Banks is the chivalrio and eenerous friend of Cuba. Ia his generous attitude there is, perhaps, a sus uicion of that rhetorical glory of our country the spread eagle. General Grant is the Prt ident of the United States. When a man is a cTistinguished member of the House he is then al'tV a part of the government of a .free people; bTlt the obligations of duty do itot alwavB sit s'O heavily upon him but he cai afiord to feel as a free lance in a cause that touches his sympathies. But the Executive is Lot thus frte. Flights of the imagination are not for h.va, more especially when his ship of Btate ikvyLs all that can possibly be given of plain p ractical attention to sail it safely. It is for hi 01 to consider first of all the condition of the country especially com mitted to his care, ant to view all that cauie before him only in the Lght of that country's welfare. Is there really any other difference between the administration and the party that is heard in the House in favor of Cuba t The vital point of the whole subject or us is, shall we or shall we not recognize the belli gerency of the Cuban people ? Grant is op posed to euch a recognition and BanAait not m 1 . I 1 -A. i. 1 w .11 iu favor 01 it. ai least it musi uo uo neia, since vTtn ais fame ne doea ot ,aT Lei ore the hC D? definite proposition o commit the conn?" to 8UKc.h faco,ufvf' Ha says a great deal on W Bab ?hft tions of Spain and Cuba .t.1 States, same of which will doubts. ? able enough to the popular fanoy, and muo of which should be very painful if false, Btill more painful if true- Tha imnnLH.n for instance, that a message sent to Congress from the President of the United Stated is prepared in the pay of Spain is not often sur passed for malignity and meanness by tho bitterest hostility of the partisan. It is in the style, indeed, of those scavengers of journal ism who in their spleen affect to believe that the President permits the domestic circle of Mr. Hamilton Fish to influence the national polioy' Mr. Banks, with this, says a great deal in re gard to the propriety of protecting American citizens in foreign countries, and of our utter failure to do this, in every syllable of which we will agree with him. But, as we have hitherto shown, this is a delinquency for which Congress is more responsible than the President. It is one of the prioes we pay for "economy." Why contrast our Go era. ment with that of England in this regard? When would Congress vote the monw r? Ha" fend half a dozen American citizen at the expense of such an excursion as thaAhva. Binian war ? All this Mr. Banks proposes; but he does not propose at last any practical good for Cuba. His resolution, at iu utuirwt. puta Cuba on the same status with Spain iu a general declaration of our neutrality. This ciight make it impossible for Spain to buy ships here when sue no longur needd tuem; Bd it might be held as a constructive recog' riitiou of a state of war, and so of her bel ligerency, but it would not yiblJ. any of tfcj moral support which is the most valuable ; thing she would get from a proclamation of recognition. This, then, is not Tery practical f riendsnip for Cuba, to present a measure that if car ried does her no good, and if lost does nor incalculable moral harm. And why is friend ship limited to this? Mr. Banks no doubt is sincere, if not practical, in his advocacy of the Cuban cause; but that sincerity did not carry him to the length of proposing that we should assume an attitude of even unfriendli ness to a foreign Tower on aocouut of Cuba. If, with his instincts of universal pniian- thropy, and his tenderness for filibustering that is an innentance of bis ancient uemo craey, he could propose so little, how much less might we expect from a government that feels a full and honest responsibility for the discharge of its duties to the nation ? The fact is the attitude taken by the admin istration is the only one possible for an hon est, practical government; aud though it op poses boldly a popular sentiment in favor of the name of freedom, it musteventually secure the full support of the national common sense. We not only cannot afford war for the sake of Cuba, but we cannot afford the very shadow of war, noi the note of preparation. Our first duty is to ourselves and our creditors; and to be jnst we must keep the peace. We are bnildmg up, after our great Btrnggle, with unparalleled energy and rapidity, and why shall we stop this progress? Is the chance teat we may make Cuba what Mexico is a sufficient motive? Certainly not. Consider the consequences of embroiling ourselves in the quarrels of the Cnbans immediate inter ruption of the payment of the debt, imme diate decrease in the price of the bond, financial confusion, a new lease of life for all tax laws, the cessation of the vast emigration that is pouring in upon us. These are but the more immediately obvious of a train of evils. Let the people only weigh all this against the mere sentiment and rhetorio on the other side, ana they will Bee how clearly and practically Grant is in the right. Un fortunately, however, our sympathies are too apt to run away with our practical ideas, and it is highly probable that the clear common sense of the President will be overslaughed entirely by the sentimentality of such dashing leaders in the House as Logan and Banks. LITERARY RESPONSIBILITi. From the A. 1". 2rffcnf-. The extraordinary and melancholy interest excited by the death of Mr. Dickens has yet hardly at all abated; the newspapers still come to us full-freighted with notices of the departed novelist. No literary man has died in our time whose loss will be so generally regretted. ' Indeed, Mr. Dickens' fame quite stands out from ordinary literary success certainly since Voltaire (who was quite a dif ferent writer) we suspect that no one has had bo many readers; and yet between the num ber of Voltaire's admirers and that of Mr, mcKens it would be aosura to make any comparison. For the purpose of any such computation the two men are not to be rsmed together; for Mr. Dickens was fortu nate enough to live in an age of universal reading, and of a light and portable literature which has made reading universally possible. When Sir Charles Grandison came, with his ineffable grace and his inexpressible goodness, he came in so many volumes that only rich people could afford to buy his biography. Smollett, we think, set the example of pub lishing one of his new novels in cheap monthly parts, but even this expedient could not compensate for the small number of ordinary people who preferred a book to beer. Compare this state of things with the hordes, the swarms, the countless caravans of readers which Mr. JJlcKens nas naa. wnat tremcu dous power has beflD his, and how faithful! and honorably nas tnat power, on the whole, been exercised! If there be here and there in these novels a few things which have made Eeople no better, how few are there which ave made them worse! Now, knowledge may be power, but it is not always peace of mind or even. temporal prosperity. There is a knowledge of good and there is a knowledge of evil. There are books which confuse the moral perceptions, bewilder the heart, and make truth and virtue seem but empty cheats popular books, fattcinating books, which the Devil himself might have written, and then scattered broad cast to work an infinity of misery and wo and degradation of body and of mind. There is one book in the English tongue written by a man of singular literary dexterity, whieh has done infinite mischief a book not to be named, and for the writ ing of which, if the author was not con demned to unquenchable fires, he must now bo at least in Purgatory with bat in finitesimal chanced of getting out. This wa'Q the kind of popular literature which was once supplied for the reading of the poor in England; and it may be sold there to some extent still. But the difference is that there are now hotter chances, if one chooses to seek them, and inexpensive chauces at that. We question whether Mr. Dickens' works are so tavch read in England as in America; but evei.' there they must have had a most refining influence. 1Ia is not "goodyish;" he can oall a spade a spade upon occasions; but he is .a singular! v clean writer, and absolutely free from prun ency of thought, though employing occasional Cv srseness of expression; and the njorality of h.8 books is always healthy, ro bust, ud beuft voent. But wo ar o.t intending a criticism of Mr. Dickens' books, ar specially a notice of their author. Wh, w cO'e J?

TIIE TARASITES ONCE MORE. From the A. T. Tim, There is no difference of opinion among Republicans as to the causes which have con tributed most largely to the demoralization and defeat of tne party in tms city, ine effect of corrupt and worthless management upon the spirit and strength of the party ia too palpable to be denied. Jvery man witn his eyes open sees that its interests are in the hands of knaves and tricksters, wh re gard their influence as a marketable com modity, and are indifferent as to the means by which they attain their ends. Who these persons are, with what tools they work, and for what purposes they exert themselves, are questions to which every new event supplies a sufficient answer. Whether in the primary meetings, in tho committee-room or the convention, their general character and schemes are always the same. Of honest, disinterested service they have no conception. In the potency of a healthy public spirit and the value of repu table agencies for its development, they have no faith. Politics are with them a trade; partisanship is to them a pretext, under cover of which they perpetrate all manner of ras cality; the party zeal they always propose to invoke is a mine of gullibility which they hope to work periodically for their own peculiar advantage. Such are the people who have for years contrived to control the Re publican body here, and whose expulsion from every post of honor or trust is an indis pensable preliminary to reorganization and success. Until they be swept aside, nothing can be done. But "who will bell the cat?" When, how, and by whom is the work of purification and punishment to be performed? We must not suppose that the parasites and pretenders who now manage matters will quietly acquiesce in the demand for their decapitation. No sense of shame will impel them to retire no twinge of conscience will induce them to make room for better men. They know the strength of their position, and will battle strenuously for its retention. They hold the keys, and will keep them if they can. The nature of the trading politician of the New York breed is a stranger to decency. And as the class of whom we speak are for the time possessed of power, we may be sure that they will use it without stint or scruple. A regiment of small office-holders, who look to them as masters, will rally to their support. The hungry crowd who are on the look-out for office, and who have been accustomed to believe in the influence of these managers in high places, may be ex pected for a time at least to do their bid ding. The hired "roughs" who are service able in an emergency will earn their pay with the desperation which arises from a know ledge that their further employment is in jeopardy. As matters stand, influences like these should not be. excluded from tho account. They will be more or less effective in ward meetings, in packing primaries, in the selection of delegates, and in the contest which will be waged anew in the State Con vention. It were folly to despise them under the most favorable circumstances. To under rate them now, amidst the prevalence of a mortifying apathy on the part of respectable Republicans, would be to insure a continu ance of the present Btate of things. Party reconstruction will not begin in ear nest until the integrity whioh exists in the party ranks makes its real strength felt. If those who are Republicans from conviction, and who are disgusted with the want of prin ciple which is manifest in the party manage ment, do not choose to exert themselves for its purification, the task may be given up as hopeless. There must be energetic, com bined, and well-considered effort, or the schemers who afflict the party will drive it to death. Mere protests will not suffice. Action alone will be of avail. What shall be the ini tiatory step it is not for us to say. But in some formal manner, the honest mem bers of the party must reveal and utilize their power. They must attend ward meetings, organize committees, and in due time elect delegates to the con vention. Otherwise, the creatures who cling to the party that they may fatten upon it, will once more have everything their own way. There can be no appeal to the Repub lican sentiment of the State, no call for the interference by which the sturdy men from the country should put down the unprin cipled men in the city, without an organized opposition; and there can be no organized opposition unless those who now loudly de plore the eondition to which the party has been reduced put their heads together, and do something effective towards its reconstruc tion. For yet another- purpose an organized as-' sault upon the usurpers whb direct the affairs of the party in this city is essential. Their usurpation would not last a month if the na tional administration made known its appre ciation of their character and aims, and its determination to listen no more to their re- Eresentations in regard to patronage. Let it e generally understood that their remon strances and recommendations are alike un heeded, and from that moment their roll of followers will diminish. Let it be made known that they no longer enjoy free aocoss to the inner offices of the departments, and no in fluence with the President or Secretaries, and their hold upon the noisiest element in ward meetings and committees will be loosened. The administration ewes this as a duty to the Republican party and to thi State, and we will not believe that General Grant will shrink from its performance whenever he fully comprehends the position. But tow is the President to judge of the riuibt fpeak authoritatively which those whd approach him upon thi subject should possess? However weighty their individual influence, it is quite certain that tha force of their opposition and the value of their sup port will be greatly enhanced if they speak oreanization. Its functions will begin at thia toint ' and upon thwt honest exerowe very much more depend than most people seem w illing to believe, KEW YORK FUNERALS. from the N. Y. World.

"What is to . with this," uked, .'ttfter tLa fa over?" "Take it home," said the under taker; "we generally put in enough to make a shirt." Not being in want of a shirt, we were rather struck by the ridiculous aspect of the whole custom, when illustrated by the frank avowal of the undertaker that here was an expenditure in linen sufficient, multi plied by the number of pall-bearers, to make six or eight of those useful articles of wearing apparel. Some of the hearses, too, of New York are almost as bad as those of London. We re member seeing an Irish funeral once, of some twenty carriages, waiting for a ferry boat at the foot of Thirty-fourth street. The deceased lay (in his cffin of course) within a hearse thaV, might have gratified Spotted Tail, if he could be assured that he would be borne in so gorgeous a vehiclo to the place where he is to start for the celes tial hunting-grounds, when he has laid down his earthly rifle. The driver of this sumptuous affair, however, was a dirty Irish man, dressed in a shabby linen blouse; aud, as the day was hot and the delay tedious, he descended from his box and went into a corner grocery to get a drink. Counting the number of carriages, and making an esti mate of the total, we came to the conclu sion that the expense of burying Pat on that occasion, including the hearse, was not less than two hundred dollars. The rich and fashionable might do something to dis countenance such expenses, audit is time they had done it. SPECIAL NOTICES.
