A 1-lttle tSenrglan 'Woman Wo llu nn Unviable Ileeoril Three Times a Week She Carrie tho Mail from One County to Another. One of the most interesting figures in overy-day life in this section of tho State, says a Now York World corre spondent at Tweed, Oa.. is pretty Mattio Ilester, who carries Uncle Sam' mails from the village to the point at which she lives on a farm, twenty miles away. The fair mail-carrier drives a little road cart, in which sho has bravely pono over her route every clay, rain or shine, since she succeeded in obtaining- tho posi tion. If tho mails are late one may bo sure the delay did not occur in her ter ritory, for no stressof weather can deter this undaunted little public official. The whole country side knows ami re spects her, but if any protection is need ed on her lonely journeys her ow cour age and determination of character will supply it. This year Mattie succeeded over all competitors in securing the mail route from Condor in Laurens County to Lo thair in Montgomery County, and three times a week she covers a distance of about forty miles through a wild and sparsely settled section, and her cheery voice is often heard along the road in her efforts to drive dull care away. At her side in a small pocket, fully exposed to view, is a handsomely polished No. 3s Smith &. Wesson of tho most approved model, and as she is a crack shot woe be to the highwayman or tramp who tries to bar tho way to that part of the United States mails under the immediate care of Mattie Hester. She has perfect con fidence in her own ability to defend herself, and looks with contempt upon those timid members of her own sex who fear to go anywhero without an escort. Independence of spirit is so striking a characteristic of this unique young person that the narration of some of her remarkable undertakings would convey an impression of mascul inity. In her own homo or under ordinary circumstances Miss Hester is the embodiment of womanliness. She lives with her widowed mother, two sisters and a young brother,, but is tho real head and director of the family. Iler beiuty ia of the true Southern type wavy black hair, deop blue eyes, beautiful figuro and complexion and the whitest set of teeth imaginable. Iler taunt v and pretty face n-ver fnit tr taet the attention of slransr .. rattles swifrlw lw In tim- t. nl- .-- ------J ... ... j, . 1-icing neitner to the ritrht nor left, but attending strictly to vlnPSS Attention to business, inIo- i f tbe chlnf iliitr inmitiiT.r fnrfK Of character whoso strcny h has made Miss Ilester remark.ahV many ways. Still in her twenti .v,:ir nnJ ful1 of life and energv is determined to make her way uortun0- ha- al" ready shown business qualifications that would credit to any man. Last year she sper!ruended all ttie work on the far- Nho helped to plant and harve the crop and took it to market. where her tact enabled her to secure thy hiirhest prices. Thinking that she saw a chance to make some money last winter, she went into the woods and got a quantity of timtior, which she rafted and placed in the hands of her brother, to be disposed of in the Parien lumber market. This venture netted thr enterprising little "cracker" a handsome profit. Later on, witli her own hands, she cut down and split enoc.L'h fence rails to incloso one section of the farm. So it seems hard work has no terrors for Miss Mattie, nor is she at all squeamish about tho kind of work she undertakes, provided only that it. offers promise of bettering hor condition. With all her various duties she still finds some leisure and she em ploys it in teaching writing. Miss Mattie in her relations with tho opposite sex preserves tho same marked individuality which characterizes her in other things. She doesn't care a rush about men; in fact, sho has no time to think about other mails than those it is her duty to distribute. The little mail-carrier is very poorly paid, and the forty-milo journeys are rapidly taking the flesh otT tho sturdy broncho that draws her cart. "I don't think I shall carry the mails three times a week much longer," said she to the World correspondent. "It is telling on my horse. Resides, the small pay I receive does not warrant it. If I Can get my petition signed, I will per haps get off with twice a week,- which I think will suit the public quite aa well." AROUND THE WORLD. Within a few Tears the Trlu fan It MjiI In Thirty Days. It is nearly tight thousand miles from hero to Japan, by tfjo shortest of all Western routes to th Orient; and with fair weather. I shall see Vokohama in about three weeks. Most of us can re member a time not so very long ago when such a journey would have been a journey of many weary months. Never theless what wo now think rapid travel ing will certainly within a few years seem very slow. Faster steamers and swifter trains will mako the circuit of tho world in thirty days a possible feat in tho j rcsert generation. Only the completion of tho Kusian trans-Asiatic roaJ to Vladivostock is needed to create tho possibility.

Lafcadio Hearn, in Harper' Magazine. An interesting spectacle has re cently been seen in the Orkneys. It is probably the first of its kind ever au thenticated in living memory. A cor respondent writes to a contemporary: "What is said to bo a mermaid has been uon ior some weeks at stated times at Southside, Doerness. It is about six to seven feet in length, with a little black head, white neck and a snow-white body and two arms. In swimming it ap pears just like a human being. At times it will com very close inshore and ap pear to bo sitting on a sunken rock, and will wavo and work its hands. It lias never ben seen entirely out of water. Many persons who doubted its genuineness now suppose it to bo a de formed seal." JQB : : PRINTING.

Iiemarkinff that th "cup which cheers" has been so long believed to bo the most fitting substitute for tho one which "inebriates," a writer in the Lon don Standard remarks that it is "a little alarming to find that Dr. Mendel, of Berlin, has come to a contrary conclu sion. So far from believing that two pence off the pound of tea or coffee will reduce the 'drink bill,' the researches of this eminent physiologist fro far to provo that by permitting the poorer classes to buy more of these stimulants the cheapness will conduco to the spread of what he has described as 'cotTee inebriety,' a form of intoxication which very frequently leads to the more alarming, but not actually moro danger ous, form produced by alcohol. "The studies upon which he founds these conclusions were made in all parts of Germany, but more particularly upon women of the working population in and about the great gun factories of Eesen. Here wajres are high and employment constant, so that tho mechanics' wives have no difficulty in buyUg as much of their favorite stimulant as tbey desire. This takes the shap of coffee. Tho quantities many of them consume are enormous. Large numbers of women use on an averse a pound per week, and some of tb- men drink considerably more, beside supplementing it at odd times with beer and wine. The result is wjespread form of neurosis to which Mendel has ventured to ap ply ao name of 'Inebriety." It is a trlr form of it; approaching in both ld and degrre to delirium tremens, for the whole nervous STstom is de ranged, if not utterly ruined. To the gayety produced by indulgence a pro found depression of spirits succeeds, coupled with frequent headaches and a sleeplessness which in time assumes the character of an almost incurable in somnia, a distressing complaint in it self, and naturally the advauce guard of i host of other evils. ' Fr brief ace it is relieved by another strong dose of coffee, ltut as soon a- the effects of this dio away the symptoms return with increased vehe mence. The muscles become weak and trenildinir and the bands shake when at rest in a manner resembling the semi paralysis of a confirmed drunkard, whose nervous system has been shat tered to its center. An increasing aver sion to labor and any steady work is noticed. The heart's action becomes rapid and irick'i.lar, and palpitation, with a heavy feeling in the precordial rejrion. makes its appearance. Last of all comes dyspepsia of the most persist ent character and of an extreme nerv ous type, rendering the life of the cof fee tippler a burden to himself and to all around him. In many cases acute rosacea Is common, showing that the skin and tho entire system of which it forms so important a part have been poisoned, and, as in the caso of alco holism, are incapablo of performing the functions proper to them. . In the course of his studies Dr. Men del found very few instances in which the continued coffee drunkard was ever cured. The symptoms constantly jrrow worse, and aro only to be relieved by large quantities of the beverage the abuse of which has caused them. In this way the victims go frem bad to worse. For though well aware of the mischief being wrought they suffer so severely that irhcy are afraid to abandon the habit lest death sheuld end the agony they experience. After bejrin ning with the agreeable infusion of the -oasted berries they are driven, in their search for something more powerful, to swallow the tincture, which, though it operates for a time in the direction de- ired, soon loses its efficacy, and has to bo swallowed in greater and greater quantities, the evil influence of the cof- feo being, of course, heightened by the alcohol used to extract its essential in gredients. When brandy is taken only temporary relief follows, though not in frequently the intoxication produced by the latter is eager! v welcomed in order to deaden the anguish caused by the in ordinate indulgence in the former. "The last stage of this peculiar dis ease shows itself in the sallow face and chilly hands and feet of the victims, coupled with an expression of dread and agony which settles over tho counte nance a form of melancholia, alter nated by hysteria, only to be tempo rarily relieved by repeated applications to the coffee pot or to a strong tincture formed by steeping the crushed berries in spirits of wine. Meantime, the diseased state of the body is demon strated by the acute inflammation which is apt to supervene at any moment. A bruise, a cut. a prick or a sting, which in a healthy person would scarcely be noticed, is the starting po'nt for inflam mation of an erysipelatous character, so that it seldom happens that th celJte inebriate is long-Jived.' A FEMALE ENGINEER. Sho HiM SaroM.fully Kan aa En gin for Threw l'eara. To boo a woman runninrr an ensrine in real life is a genuine novoltv. Tho fair 6x occasionally run engines in novels, on Uio stago and so on, but a real, live lemaie e ngineer ia a new sensation. Of course this one is in Chicago, and of course she is young and pretty. They always are. The romance of the case is. however, cut out by the cold-blooded announcement that she is not doing it io save a nusoana, lover or father's life or liberty. She is purely mercenary. The stipend dr&wn &1 tli a far.il sTsf anno v week is all that she is after. Iler sitnn is not known. Perharm thia la k-Kom I the romantic part comes in. Perhana I otherwise. Ee this or that as it may, she is a flesh and blood reality. W hen a reporter for the Chicago Herald called at tho place where this novelty works ho stated his business to a vounir ladv clerk, and asked to 6eo the woman who runs the engine. A lady is our engineer." titter th clerk, "but ehe is busy and can't see any rvporiers. "Can she be seen?" was asked. o," was the answer. "She will see no one. unless it is an examiuer of en gineers, and then she will bo found ready and anxious to answer all ques tions. The lady engineer, as she ia styled, has had charge of the Bee Ilivo laun dry engine for about three years, during which time she had no trouble and has apparently been well able to attend to all the duties devolving upon her. Her principal claim for competency, however, is that she has taken her engine apart and placed it together again without seriously damaging its component parts or detracting from its power. Questions to be propounded to her by the reporter were furnished by an engineer, but she declined to answer any questions at alL unless they came from the board of engineers. Theso queries were regarding her knowledge of how to figure on her safety valve, her boiler's horse-power and Ler en gine's horse-power. That she can dem onstrate properly on all theso in tricacies she does not' doubt, and is anxious to have the board of examiners pass on her case. ( C. Dicey, of the board, said in re gard to this woman: "If a woman can successfully pass the required examin ation there is no law to prevent her continuing the practice of engineering. This case will be rigidly looked into, and unless this lady engineer can tell iii aooui an engine she will have to utT position to a engineer." r.f.,.i. competent 'ANY ONEjf CAN DYE A Dress, or a Coat, A Dress, or a Coat, ) fifjy Coon Ribbons, Feathers, FOR yarns, flags etc. TEH CENTS and in mirvitScr wtv .

Louise Hunfjerford, with a younper sister who is now the Countess of Tclf ener, the wifo Of a Italian Count, left New York when about twelve years old, 6a ys the Workintr Woman. John II un perford was a journeyman barber in New York, but enlisted in the Mexican war; lau-r he was employed at his trade by one (ieorpo W. Ciprico, w hoeo shop in San Francisco was known as "Montgom ery baths," and the chair that Jack 11 lin ger ford used is pointed out to the cus tomers of tho Ciprico barber shop to this day. Mr. Ciprico advanced $500 in gold to his employe, who immediately sent for his daughters. When Louise Ilungerford and her sister arrived in San Francisco they went to the bouse of Mr. Ciprico, who took them into his family, they be ing nearly the same age of his own daughters. Here they were treated as members of the family, being taught Italian and French and music by tbe daughters. They lived with their bene factors six or seven years. In 1S65 Ilungerford opened a barber Ehop on his own account at Mokelumno mil, Cal., and Louise, who was then about nineteen years old, acted as her father's housekeeper they having one room in the rear of the shop. He was proprietor of but short duration, for he soon 'busted" up in business. During this period a Dr. Hryant, who kept a small drug 6tore at Nevada City, about one hundred miles from Mokelumno Hill, paid attention to Louise, and she was married to him afu-r a short courtship. Dr. Dryant, be ing a man of dissolute habits, died two or three years afterward of delirium tremens, leaving Mrs. IJryant no means of support for herself and daughter Kva, now the Trincetis Colonna. Her father's failure in business and her husband's death compelled her to seek service in the family of J. W. Walker, brother of the late ex-Governor Walker.of Virginia, ud there she met for the first Unit? J. XV. Makay, superintendent of the Uul lion mine at Virginia City, Xev. Louise Bryant, for a brief time previous to hor going into the service of Mr. Walker, had tried a hand at keeping a boarding house for the miners. Mr. Mackay was comfortably fixed and could provide her a home, such as the miners used in those days, simply a cabin of two rooms. So he courted and won tho Widow Bryant. Her father ia the meantime had gone back to his former "boss" and procured employment and helped to pay the youngest daugh ter's board. Mrs. Mackay was cook and general housekeeper and laundry-wom an, ana Helped entertain her husband's co-workers in the mines. Mr. Mackay soon after attained ereat wealth, and Mrs. Mackay and her sister had the advantage of a common school education and could speak fluently Ital ian and French, through the association of the Ciprico family, who were re markably well educated three of the daughters of Mr. Ciprico are school teachers in San Francisco to-day. When Mrs. Mackay, her daughter Eva, and her Bter went abroad, it was to get away from her former associates. When sh returned for the first timo to San Fran cisco she called upon the Ciprico girls. dui xrom tnat flay to the present she has Ignored her former teachers and bene factors. The people of San Francisco who know the facts as above Btatedare Indig nant at Mrs. John W. Mackay's ingrati tude to a family that had done so much for her in her early days of poverty and samewhat adventuresome life. John Ilungerford now known as Col. nungerfordof the United States armv was formerly known as "Jack I unger ford, the barber." He was a good artist, and there is no disgrace attached to his business. Louise earned her daily bread as a boarding-house keeper. But the worst of ingratitude comes in to those who took care of her and pave her the advantages of an early education. This we think the worst of crimes. The above is a true history of the Bonanza Queen of European society. A VERITABLE MARVEL Wonderful Qblleliis-nc oa a Rural Ilur.e-Car linw "About the most accommodating 6trc-et--ar line I ever struck," said a gentleman in the reading-room of a big hotel the other evening to a New York iribune reporter, "is in a little hamlet in Oxford County, Me. The rlace doesn't contain more than six hundred inhabitants, all told. But it has a fac titious importance in 6ummer time, be cause tho Maine Chautauoua I.'ninn holds its annual assembly there. Tbe rolling stock of the lire consist of three open horse-cars in summer and a com fortable vehicle in winter. A unique feature of the road is that it transTxjrta bnggage as well as passengers, charging a uniform fare of six cents for each piece, wLctuer human' or 'warious.' Of course it is needless to say that there is none or the mad hurry about theso cars that is 60 noticeable in a city street-car. when you are half a block away and want to catch it. The conductor knows everybody and everybody knows him. o yawning social chasm exists between passenge r and oGciaL Not only does me car stop in iront of each passenger's house, but if he happens to havo anv baggage the driver leisurely ties up u.s norses ana assists tho conductor in car rying the baggage into tho house, and up into the attic if desired. If a passenger discovers that bo has forgotten any thing, the car is immedi ately stopped to allow him to iro b-.ck and get it. and if tho distance is trreat the conductor and driver will ubift tb.r horses and the car will be driven back to where tho forgetful passenger lives. When business is dull the car ktons. the conductor takes out a book and rpn.l- while the horse browses on tho roadsM-. Sometimes tho conductor gets a lii..le lonesome in slack tiroes. On such orcu sions ho invites a lvy of children x takn a free ride, which they do aiih great willhiirnss. "in winter there is no conductor for the single vehicle. The driver mis inside close by a hot stove, the reins be ing passed through a little window. Very slow, you say? May be so, accord ing to city ideas. But the establish ment of the lir.c was bitterly resented by the village "IMp Van Winkles"as the entering wedge to all the follies and vices of the city; and they haven't be come reconciled to it yet. I tell you it is pleasant to get back once in awhile into such primitive communities where life is placid and thought is sluggish, and movement and noise ar not regarded as necessarily the surest road to happi ness. In my opinion the tired and brain-fsgged city-reident would find in such places as this tho most thorough and complete rest. But you can't con vince people of it. They prefer tho noisy and garish summer hot'-, which is simply a little bit of tho city trans ported into the country, and oftentimes not the most desirable bit either." Two Itililiral Krrora. A typographical error has been dis covered in the la?.t issue of tho Bible from tho Cambridge press. It occurs in Isaiah 43:13, tho word "foundation" being begun with an "r" instead of an "f." The young 6on of Dr. Adler found tbe error and received the standing re--ward of a guinea. Years ago there was an edition of the Bible known as the "bad Bible," frXm tho fact that the word "not" was omitted from the most important commandment. Tho un fortunate printer was tried for bis life and the whole edition iTifi seated and auppresfed. MRS. BONANZA I JOllXSTOX. M. J. BVCK. bTtatiaato 1R7S. A. W.
