WOM. IN VERSUS MAN.
There Is a growing tendency nowadays
tays an exchange, tor women to unsex
themselves that is, to crowd into occupi
tlons which havi uii to late years been op
cupicu exclusively iv man. if women
usurp occupations -oiigliially Intended for
the other sex, what about the men who are
tteown out? for it Is very certain there
not room for both." This Is a fallacious
popular Idea. The question Is liiismidcr
!ood; women have not become manly, hut
tnen have become effeminate. In consc
quenco of ail their tlme-immeinorial cm
liloyments having been gradually taken
from them, Women in this rlneteenth ten
tury arc absolutely driven to seek some out
let fer their energies, or necessities, in new-
lines of work. The change has been so
silent and tiniicreeiwd that it is doubtful
If it Is generally known, vM certainly was
never planned purposely to Injure women;
rather the reverse, it was Intended that
the.y should be benefitted thereby. While
Iroin the alterations iu our social system all
household and essential women's trades are
carried on by men, women have received
as a substitute a tew Ill-paid clcrkshlps.and
precarious employments, such as art, need
lework ottlilna painting, which arc now
offered lo them as their true vocation.

We had a liltle bit of "rapid transit"
legislation last week In the Traction mat
ter. Governor Heaver acted wisely in
showing so plainly his dissatisfied views on
. the passage of tho Traction measure. Re
publican assemblymen and senators act
, Aery unwisely In .matters of offensive legis
lation. A regard for the leader of their
party should be a means of preventing
rash legislation, w hlch at most jeopardizes
the common faith of the people and places
Governor Beayrr In no enviable position.
Governor Heaver can well cry "Oh saicmo
from my friends." "I am yours for ser
vice," 6ald the Governor on the day of his
Dnauguratlou; and we believe that he meant
It. "True tho signing of tho magistrates
bill was an error, hulas "'tis human to
err," he can be forgiven. It must be re-
tnemDcrcii, nowevrr, tliat llie signing of
thatbill was a necesslty.accruing, perlmps,
from campaign pledges. Only the men
ulio are placed In public positions know
llie trouble that comes with it. Heaver is !
"yours for service," lemember this, for
you will see that when he has sailed through
his four veais as chief maglstiato of the
Keystone State, but few records will equal
Ids and nono will surpass, for honesty and
Integrity of purpose. Sa mote it be.

Speaker Hover's bllrfor the building of a
new fire-proof Hhittry find additions, with
repairs to the Capitol, was made a special
order. The rcry ccnersl sentiment heie.ns
ell s elsewhere that Inquiry lias been
made on tho subject, is wholly Infnvorof
now and completo public buildings for
Stat? purposes, and It wero hotter to do
this with the expenditure of a sum not less
than f2.500,(MX) than piaster and patelt-up
in old ndlrlcont a cost of nearly -half a
million dollars, as this bill proposes. That

belongs te tho State so long as used for
public purposes. It 'Is ft beautiful slto and
alongside of the present old edifices the
new ones could go up and legislation in the.
former not be obstructed or a change made
necessary. So let there be a new Cf-pltoli
commensurate with tho rank, ago and

Senator Walling, of Erie, who is ono of
the most, conscientious incfnbers of the
Senate, Is a terror to the shorthand report
ers when he gets his blood up, He is n
arcc, well-built man, and talks with seri
ousness and great earnestness.. Tho other
lay, when ho became excited In his appeals
to his fellow members to l:6ep thclrpledge.s
on antl-dlscriiuinatiun, he talked so fast
that the official stenographers t,Vvo tip the
attempt to report his speech verbatim, and
only with dlrllciilty could they tako down
the substance. Senator Walling can and
often does utter 250 words a minute, which
is better than' Dr. ISrooks, the Episcopal
pulpit orator, loc3 at his best, and the doc
tor Is tho dread of all reporters who nro
sent to take his sermons for publication.
Representative l-'auuce is abo a very rapid
talker, but Representative Strlne, of York,
Is tho most constant talker in the Legisla
ture, lie lias something to say upon. near
ly every bill discussed, and lias a speech
which Is as long as the moral law prepared
upon tho ninth section of tho Brooks
LIquor-Llccnsc bill.
Randall will still have his own district
and as ho could possibly take it whether or
no, is probably not much concerned in the
action of tho House apportionment com
mittee, which this week refused to legislate
him out. Leeds didn't want to do 1
cause the city delegation was not solid for
such action. The House bill reported will
bo considerably altered yet, the West and
Northwest wanting various changes. It is
an ollo-podrlda of legislative work and not
equal to the vetoed 183o bill. The. Senate
has not had Us say and a conlclenco com
mittee will most likely be the final arbiter
of how this long delayed measuro will fin
ally go to the Governor. I'AXTON.
BroaiiliB's Hew ml Letter.
Special to the C.vrmox Advocati:.
Jamajca Is a subnrfe of Hrooklyn, a very
delightful place, rejoicing in a royal strain
of old Dutch blue blood dating as far back
as 1000. Iu this rural retreat the Rev. T,
T. H. Reed dispenses the bread of life to
the lost sheep of tho African Jlethodlst
Episcopal Church. Man cannot live by
bread alone, and If ho be a preacher he
will not be long In finding this out. Brother
Reed did not when his congregation tcndercil
him for his clerical services sevcnty-flv
cents a week. On an occasion when thoy
felt moro liberal than usual they offered
their beloved pastor a dollar nnd a half,
nnd the result of this Christian liberality
was that one day last week tho pastor and
his family were discovered nearly starved
to death. I honestly believe in a gospel
without money and without price, but tin
bread of life must be worth something, not
silver or gold perhaps, but human charity
ot which incse Jamaica uiirlstlans appear
bereft. Why send missionaries to the
uongo or .amoesl, when Jamaica Is so
near. Scventy-Ilyc cents a week for
gospel of Chrlstl Seveny-flve cents a week
for a crown of light In the streets of ame
thyst nnd pearl 1 Seventy-five cents a week
for a lost soul's salvation 1 It docs not ap
pear that this humble minister of Christ
was lacking In anything except cash; h
sermons were ortlioilox anil eilifylng, an
his prayers were up to tho ordinary stall
ard, but tho gospel at seventy-five cents
per week docs not appear extravagant
When this pious old minister was desertet!
by his Clulstlau flock tho sons of Bella
took up his case and even tho devil had
pity on him. At least the friends of tli
arch enemy came boldly to tho front and
tlio keeper of a profane whiskey mill sent
the minister's family a five dollcr bill nnd
a sack of potatoes. One of the most pro
fane swearers In all Jamaica took- the
tickets for tho minister's entertainment at
the Opera House, nnd a wholesale dealer
could hardly be restrained from sending
him a cation of whiskey, till ho learned
from his neighbors that the minister was
a strict prohibitionist, when he compounded
tee nutter by sending a box of crackers
and a ham, The troublo was that tho Con
ferenco took awav a former beloved pastor
and sent them Brother Reed, whom tl
congregation did not want, so theso pious
j brothers and sisters thought they would
starve him and his family out. Th
difference between the rival factions cam
near Dchu settled with tho contribution
hoxes a few Sundays ago, fortunately the
handles broke off the first lick thereby Im
pairing their power of mischief, and
doubt the motto over the altar had a s-oth
lug effect: Heboid how good and how
pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together
in unity. Homo missionaries to the front!
these African saints will be improved by
little lively evangelization, for around II
colored cliuch there is evidently fallow
ground.
There are a few thliiss that have set me
thinking during tho past week. General
Grant has been laid iu Ids grave almost
two years, and ns yet the (lrl foundation
stone of his monument has not been hewn
from its parent rock. What is the nation
Ihiuklugof? Shakespeare said ovei a couple
i of centurlos ago: "There's chanco a great
' man's memory may outlive his life, half a
year: but by our Udy lie mutt build chim-hes
. for It!" Hut, while wo cniiuot raise the

Theodora Thomas has at last got within
the 6acrcd. precincts ot tho Metropolitan

tremendous ttltimph of the German Opera,
I mu happy to announce, that tho English
Opera Is an unqualified success. 'Dic
Walkiire" nnd "Die Melstersingcr," are
not good lines on an English bill, nnd It
was a bold thing for Theodore Thomas to
pick up the baton which Anton Seldl had
aid down, but tho result has bech entirely
satisfactory,- nnd the effect' of tlio rivalry
has been, -that New York has had belter I
innslo this winter than It has over ccjoyed
before. After all thcro Is something very
humanizing about music, and .that home I
will bo always brighter and happier that
uas it at. its best, bonic very straigiit

valo of tears, are apt to look upon all
amusements as light and frivolous; nnd yet
they hope for their final reward in a place
where their principal business will bo to

to do a llltlo of that singing hero- think of
it.
We are very much exercised over a now
railroad deal by ouo Sully; which like
Aaron's rod swallowed up all tho rest. A
mighty mum was Jay Gould in Israel but
Jay Gould pales in the nresenco of Sully
Sully was supposed to havo effected the
rcatcst railroad comblnntion ever seen on
the face of the earth: sixteen thousand
miles of rai)road was credited to Sully, and
io would have got them too, only for one
slight obstacle, and that was that Sully did
not havo the cash. At the present writing
Jay Gould remains on top, but no follow
can tell where Sully will be In the next ten
days.
It. seems to be a difficult, job to get a jury
to try another of our boodle aldermen.
Almost every man who is on the panel has
an opinion of his own, or has read luc
papers, or has done somo disqualifying
thipg; and the attorney who lm so success
fully prosecuted all fhe other cases Is
knocked out, and retires, so that we almo3t
begin to doubt If wo will be ablo to get
another conviction.
Tho beauties of the law were magnifi
cently illustrated along with the blessings
ot ireo government in tlio case of a poor
Swede, who landed hereabout three months
o. He had about five hundred dollars,
and on landing made tho acquaintance of a
countryman, who drugged him and robbed
him, and who was eventually arrested.
The thief gave a lawyer the Swede's stolen
money lo defend him and succeeded in
getting the trial put off. on some pretext,
and then gavo straw bail for his appear;
ance. J lie bwedc was placed in the House
of Detention as-awitness, he was kept there
eleven weeksa. prisoner, while the man who
committed tho robbery was enjoying the
freedom of the city; and perchance was
lolng an Occasional job at robbery just to
keep hU hand in. Tho caso was called
last Monday, but tho thief had skipped to
Canada, IiU bond was found to be worth
less; nnd after an Imptisonment of , nearly
mice inonius, tor llie inestimable privilege
of being drugged and robbed in oui gloiious
country, he was- turned adrift In this great
city without a penny to die nr starve.
Great country, sir; great country. Nothing
like freedom; If you don't believe it, como
to Now York and try it.
We arc still in mourning,-but it was no
cry of despair from New York and Brook
lyn that announced the passing away of
tho gre'at Plymouth pastor. Tho wall of
grlet almost sounded like a shout of victory
and his funeral pageant was like tlio tri
umph of a Roman conqueror. Nature's
rarest flowers which ho loved In life so well
told the passing stranger tliat Heccher lav-
dead within, and that death had no stin
for lilm andJllat tho gravo was swallowed
up in victory. NoVer beforo in this land
was there euch an absence of funeral sable;
his neighbors nnd filends vied with each
other in the most beautiful floral offerings,
and his church from the top of the organ
to tho foot of tho altar roscnibjed a lovely
tropical garden. J'hero ras mi entire ab
sence of tho ordinary depressing surround
Ings that seem to make dealh so terrible,
and whllo grieved at the parting those who
knew him and loved him best also knew the
cross was glorified by the crown. Hut when
the time camo to consign him to tho grave
all earthly pageantry was (hopped; a few
faithful friends attended thelasltites; there
was a simple prayer, a last look, a sob, and
they left Imn In God s caro thcro to rest
till the archangel's trumpet shall summon
tho quick and the dead,
In my letter of last week I had only space
to speak briefly of Mr. Heccher, and vet

cml pageant which deserves something

rising superior oven to hor affections, being
tho guiding star of her life. Tho world
little knows hoir much It is Indebted to this
sad-vlsagcd, silent woman, fo.r whatever
was grand in her husband's character. fSlie
It wa who early shaped his destiny and
roused Ills almost slugclsh nature to those
supreme i-fforls -which have clcctilded tlio
world and Immortalized his name. Destined
to shine as a ruler among women In the
noblest paths of literature, with a self
abnegation almost without a parallel In one
so gifted, 'he laid aside all personal ambl
lion to build up her husband's glory.
ThiongU years ot buffeiing and toll, of
sorrow and slander, of grief and woe un
! utterable, for half
a hundred years she
stood by the side of him to whom she had
pledged her maiden faith, the embodiment
t of wifely honor and wifely loyalty nnd all
j that Is glorious or honorable In mother-
! hood, Who ear) ever fornet her who saw
' her during those long and bitter months of

to seo her work perfected when they laid
her honored husband lo rest last week in
tho silent tlty of tho dead. When the
great preacher lav stricken unto death and
two gieat cities were bowed with grief,
thcro was but little sign of weakness In this
wonderful woman Whllo others "wept
bitter tears, her eyes were dry though her
faco was wrenched with more than mortal
agony. At last they bore his body away
from Iris homo and they laid It In front of
the altar where for forty years he had told
his Master's story of love nnd hope. No
symbol of death was there save his lifeless
clay; aU'around Were tho emblems of hope
and joy, typical of him who said, "I am
tho resurrection nnd (he life." Tlio church
was emptied and Eunice Beecher entered
leaning on the arm of her son, who rctticd
to the lecture room leaving her nldrm with
her dead. Tlicn and not till then did the
great fountain of her grief burst forth and
a wild wall of sorrow rent her stricken
heart as she know she was -taking lief last
look on earth at the faco of her beloved.
While the tears poured down like rain upon
the dead man's faco ho bowed -trer snow
white head In meek submission. Her task
ort carth'was ended; tho work of fiftyyears
was how completed; no more care, no moro
grief, no more pain, no more torrow", her

Mn. EniToni It seems that Commissioner
Sparks, of tho Land Office, has at lavt got him
self In n tight place which may iillllnatcly lead
lo his resignation. Practitioners beforo the
Bureau ever since ids uectsston tolho office have
been honing that something would tin n i:n to
lead hhn into otlir fields. The late-t story tliat
ho wreto toa personal friend In New York slate,
saying that ho would do allln Ills power lo defeat
Clevelands lenonilnatton and to scrtiro the
nomination of (lov. 11111, seems to be Very ge ner-
ally accepted about here as containing a t:reat
deal of truth. It Is true tliat the Commissioner
has denied any foundation for tho ruiucr, hut
still people around the Capital, who seem to
know pretty well what Is koIiib on, say that there
is moro fact than ftclun In the stoiy. The Com
mlssloncr has also set tho pot to boiling in the
Treasury Department. Ho has clinrgcit tho
Assistant Comptroller with the authorship o
ccitaln official eoricspondencc lelleetlng upon
his action In a land claim, pending In his office In
which he says the assistant official was interested.
and Mihllily says that the Deputy Coinptrulle.
has no right lo the position he holds and should
ho removed at once. Mr. Garrison, hi defense,
publishes a card, saying Hint the Comptroller
himself conducted tho correspondence, as the
record shows. Mr. Sparks seems to possess tl
faculty ot quarreling with all his official brothers,
and you need not ho surprised any day to harol
lilsrcslsnatioii.
Ever since Congress adjournedlhoalr has been
full ot rumors ot official misdoings, nud ruplnres
of good feeling between Washington officials,
In connection with the resignation of Comniis
sloncr of Patents Montgomery, ho was reported
to have said. In nn Interview with a 'newspapci-
man. that Congressmen and Senators boicd the
life out of him In .soliciting appointments for
frieiid i, and that they ucic more Imporlir.ate In
soliciting appointments fof- Women whom the
had never met before eoir.liu; lo Washington
(ban for any other rlass ot- favor Heckcrs. Jtr.
Montgomery has, however, very emphaticall;
denied cvet natlne entertained '.Riieti a tlwiir,ld
much less giving utterance to biirh scandal, and
says further that hts's'i'.tf reason for A'-irrcudertng
his honorable omec H to rurw JUM'm pratllei
of law asaln lefore hi i old pi net tie' Is completely
scattered nnd lost. Ills many frlonds here have
hopes that ho wilt recclvo the nonilnatl.m for
Congress when ihs time for niaklnsnoin'natlous
again i oils arm n 1.
Another rumor without foundation was to the
effect that Sergeant-at-Arms Cauaday, ot the
Senate, was found to lie shoit In hH m count,
and thai ho was guilty of borrowing money of al
his subordinates without returulnglt. Tie truth
is, Mr. Canaday has nothing lo do with the dis
bursements of money, ns nono passes through hi
hands, and so has no accounts In uhuh to
short." So far ns the other part ct the rumor Is
concerned, Ihc affable and generous SerfTcaut-r.t
Arms Is constantly lending Instead of bononli;
money, as ho Knows to his sorrow,
Secretary Endlcott also denies that there Is any
unpleasantness between him and tlio President
or that he has any Intention ot resigning. There
has been some sllslit disagreement between him
self and tho newly nppoiuted Surgeon General
ot the Aimy, (5eneral Jloorc, about changes In
office of tho Surgeon Oeneial, hut even that
not of a serious nature, mid under no circum
stances would It affect the cordial and friendly
relations between the Secretary and President,
All these rumors have for their origin the fer
tile and Imaginative brains of newsy correspond
ents who are suffering for tho want of spicy de
bates In Cnngressand the personal reminiscences
and gossip of members of Congress to write
