Positive and negative are to be found in
all things, mental and material in politics,
in social life, convictions, pursuits; and
perhaps in nothing are they more opposite
than in the view of their respective posi
tions, rights, .and duties taken by mothers
and daughters. Tnis difference, it mnst be
admitted, is rather hard on both sides.
It is exceedingly difficult after reaching
a certain degree of maturity to accept in
evitable changes, or to look on what is un
accustomed as anything but evil, more or
less mixed. Now among these changes, the
ever enlarging circle of freedom accorded to
girlhood, compared to their status 30
years ago, is one of the most marked
characteristics of the period. "We
mothers, who remember our own
"creen salad days" can recall
the "innocent simplicity" time, when sis
ters dressed alike.and young women of 25 or
26 would not accept an invitation to
tea without asking mamma's permission;
when a rail way journev of 20 or 30 miles,
unaccompanied, was a daring feat; when it
wonld have been quite too wild a breach of
the proprieties for two young ladies, at
almost any age. to go to a ball together un
chaperoned, and to walk about the streets
without father or mother a very doubtful
act
There has rarely been a more thorough or
rapid change of front than in these matters.
The most dutilul of modern daughters thinks
it quite enoush to say: "If you don't want
me, mother, I am going to dine with Mary
Jones, or to lunch with Lottie Thompson
to-dav," or "The Browns have a box at the
Lyceum on Saturday, I have promised to
go with them."
Appointments plans of study or amuse
mentare arranged in as complete inde
pendence of maternal and paternal control
asiscousistent with the fact that the long
suffering parents hold the purse-strings.
.The love ot power mnereni in uicautni
that sense of rightrul authority arising
from ths consciousness of having "stood the
storm when the waves were rough," natural
ly resents the self-assertion of young people,
and feels shocked at the unhesitating manner
m which youne girls attempt to take their liTes
in their own hands and, in such matters as
taste, dress, choice of friends, insist on being a
lau unto themselves.
In short youth and merit have ceased to he
associated, in any reflective mind, with mod
esty. Rather has meritorious youth pnt its
hat on one side with a defiant cock, buttoned a
rough overcoat acres its manly chest (or
woraanlv, as the cae may he there is small
difference in costume), thrust a parcel of phil
osophic and scientific books under its arm,
shouldered a trusty umbrella, and gone forth
conquering and to conquer, ready to demolish
such windmills of tradition as the old belief
that the tender weakness of one sex draws out
the noble generosity of the other, and that
silence and subnmsiveness are woman's shield
and spear, while obedience, patience, reverence
the Christian virtues generally, have gone out
ot fashion.
Let us see how this condition of mind affects
the relations of mothers and daughters.
There is. we acknowledge, in this new devel
opment of ambition and self-assertion much to
irritate the former, although there is little or
nothing positive! v wrong, and a great deal that
is inevitable. The circumstances of modern
life have changed so radically, the facts of our
enormously increased population, facilities of
movement, of mental intercourse, render it im
possible that one-half the human race, even
granting it to be the weaker, can stand still
while the other half presses forward. More
over, If (as statistics seem to prove) there be
nut enough men In the vtorld (the English
world) to marry all the women, the latter have
undoubtedly a right to such instruction and
training as will enable them to earn their
bread this on the lowest platform of consider
ation. The time has come when a girl can no
longer sit at her sewing, waiting for a highly
probable bnsband,serving in her father's house,
as she will in the lnture abode of which she is
tote the deputy head. She mnst probably
share Hie toils and troubles of life's warfare, in
a measure formerlv unknown; her existence
will be no longer a tranquil round of simple
duties, within the safe-sheltered schoolroom of
wider dimensions which she calls home; she
must be capable of going forth into the world,
and taking her part in the management, per
haps in the providing for family necessities,
and this increase of care is a species of en
nobling capitation tax, paid for her new pnvi
lere of independence and individuality.
Yet it is not without a profound sigh of affec
tionate, regret we see the sweet old plctnreof
gentle, loving, home-staying girlhood, and
manv of the excellencies connected with it,
fading from the National Portrait Gallery,
like those double transparencies of farmer
days, whereon the first pictnre melts into an
other more strongly colored when held before
the light.
The unavoidable outcome of a fuller, more
rapid existence, wider knowledge and clearer
perceptions of reality is a degree of self-assertive
individuality.
Girls cannot now feel that, so long as they do
as they are bid, they have a right to vegetate
untroubled, at the expense of parents or
guardians. The right to emancipation must,
like the manumission of the slave, be pur
chased either by service or by money, and no
one who lives at the cost of another can really
feel free.
An eagerness for useful training, for work,
chiefly remunerative work, has sprung up grad
uallyin e vitably.
' Onr girls have developed the idea of a "ca
reer" as well nigh a necessity, and hence the
change that mothers often And painful. Their
daughters begin by losing reverence; they
question the wisdom of the past its fashions,
beauties and habits; their very affection is
irreverently expressed. The school-girl, when
"mother," glancing at her exercise books as
she joyfully unpacks her child's boxatthe begin
ning of the holidays, exclaims in dismay, "ily
dear, what dreadful writing! They will destroy
your hand with all this scribbling," replies,
"You dear thingl Do you think we have time
to put our fingers into the correct position and
form our letters? We just clutch our pens and
drive away as best wo cnnl"
'Bat, my love, a nice ladylike hand Is
"Like your own, mother J ves, it is pretty,
but it is all old-fashioned stuff," and mamma
"shuts up."
Then her suggestions as to dress are at best
received ith an indulgent, "Do you thinx soT
Well, yon see that sort of thing is rather gone
by now. We want a certain harmony of style
and color. These things were not thought of
in your oayl Maud and I had better go to
Whiteley's and choose the material and lace
ourselves. I will tell them to send the bill to
you! After which "mother" feels rather
"small."
However, in general, it mnst be admitted
that the "girl of the period" has a conscience
as regards keeping within her allowance, so far
as we have observed, and this conscience Is the
natural result of independence. In a thought
ful, womanly girl's mind there is no place for
that irresponsible childishness some find so
fascinating.
The species of running fight that frequently
npples between representatives of the quiet
past and of the swift moving present, as exem
plified by mothers and daughters, is not always
so slight and kindly as the above examples.
Every girl has a right to be armed for the
battle which probably awaits ber. The difficul
ties are bad enough, but do not let us send our
young amazons forth to battle, as wo do onr
soldiers, with swords that snap, and bayonets
that will not piercel Moreover, when a girl
has overcome paternal and maternal objections,
and is tolling Plight and main to forge her
weapons for the warfare, it is no small trial to
meet with opposition and black looks and sting
ing speeches at home
"I wanted to go into town, but I really cannot
go about always by myself I Of course, shopping
is beneath tbenoticeofsuch very learned young
ladies as you are;" or, "Of coarse, it is hopeless
to expect punctuality when classes are in ques
tion," are not cheering observations after a long
day at South Kensington, or any other hotbed
of learning.
Sometimes "mother" is a more resolute, de
cided person, who puts down her foot on cer
tain expenditures. "A chemistry class? Cer
tainly not? I shall ask your father for no such
thingl What good will it do? Are you going
to setup a druggist's shop? You wish yon
could? Nonsense! Your brother Jim wants
all the money we can spare, for his teaching.
What! you work twice as bard as he does, and
get no help? I am astonished at yon, HelenI
I have no patience with such fads. It would
become you more to think of your dress. There,
you left yonr pretty pink silk banging up, and
came in in your old washed muslin, when Jim
brought young Dabbs home to dinner. I don't
wonder that he never looked at you!"
Women who bavo brought forth these
astonnding oung ducklings, who will swim off
into an element where their puzzled maternal
parent cannot follow, are unhappy enough, and
naturally look upon such daughters as hopeless
breakers of the law, both human and divine,
wondering more and more "what the world Is
coming to r
Incapable from training and prejudice to per
ceive or comprehend the change so rapidly
working in the position and prospects of wo

ALL BIGHTS BESEBVED.
daughters develop their own individuality and
sense of responsibility, the sooner they will be
come valuable citizens.
But the annoyance and distress of tbemotber
at the transformation of her children into
active, independent young women of the world,
is as nothing compared to the contemptuous
condemnation of the old maiden annt In her
heart no transmuting glow of affection tempers
the judgment of taste. She "cannot Imagine
what young women are coming to," or "vrhat is
to become of society when all the girls succeed
in turning themselves into bad imitations of
men." For her part she does not see that girls
are any better or happier for all this rushing
about, this blinding of their eyes and ruining
their complexions with hard stndyl It is no
wonder the men are frightened away or grow
too familiar! When she. the speaker, was
young, no gentleman would smoke in the pres
ence of a lady; now blank silence alone can
express the terrible reverse. All chivalry had
vanished; killed out by those who profited most
by it
Marriage would soon be almost unknown, and
women, having renounced their real power and
privilege the charm of helplessness, innocence
and grace are obliged to give in, shamefully
and shamelessly, to the coarser and lower tastes
and fancies of the stronger sex. When the
maiden annt was a girl, women ruled in their
drawing rooms, and men sought for her hand
(in dancesl) with eagerness and impunity. Now
they scarcely took the trouble to write her
nieces' names on those ridiculous programmes
which introduce the vulgar rigidity ot business
into the ballroom. Oh, the girls might smile,
butsbewasontbeslde of right and decency.
Moreover, none of them, no mere modern
girl, wonld be capable or the refined devotion
which kept her forever constant to the memory
of one "dear departed adorer, even to the
injury of her material interests but delicacy
forbade her dwelling on the theme! How
could any man, she wouldlask hor nieces, ele
vate into an ideal a maculino creature with
opinions as strong as her boots, and onthemost
uniaayiiKe topics into tne uargaim nu, "
really does not know how things will arrange
themselves hereafter between men and women.
And though the girls do langh heartily at
Aunt Dorothy hardly waiting till ber back is
turned the question she propounds involves
perhaps the greatest problem of the future
how, with the inevitable development of wo
mentheir new needs and aspirations, will a
modns vibendi be found, by which the sexes
can get on comfortably together? Nature, in
exhaustible and infinitely adaptable, will no
doubt solve this, as she has done many other
enigmas.
That the experience of parents maybe of
valuable assistance to children we do not for a
moment deny, but the valne is doubled when a
mother tries to pnt herself in her daughter's
Elace, and apply the dear-bought knowledge of
ygone years to the new conditions of an ever
developing society. The duty children to
parents is a profound and binding obligation,
but on the other hand the debt due from parent
to child is still more obligatory.
On the belplesss unconcious creatnre you
hare called Into existence yon have bestowed
the awful gift of life. To be, to do, and to
suffer will be its unavoidable lot; perhaps to be
a burden a enrse to itself and all connected
with it; perhaps to be a stay and a blessing to
its comrades on the toilsome march from the
cradle to the grave. To these involuntary re
cruits in the army of martyrs which life enrolls,
what thought and care do not parents owe?
How abundantly they should be supplied with
materials of war. How vigilantly trained in the
use of their weapons. How well instructed in
the science of the warfare which they cannot
avoid. How strengthened that they may stand
alone! .
There is, however, another side to the medal.
The daughters, too, mut look to themselves
and keep guard against sundry tendencies
the unavoidable outcome of the increasing
kuowledge and freedom which modern educa
tion bestows The first and most offensive of
these is a certain contempt for their elders,
which generates doubt as to their ever beiiig
right on any point. "It is only one of my
mother's fads." "Oh! mother forgets the world
is changed since her day.
True, my young wrangler, or successful com
petitor in localjexaui'., but the world has not
been re-created. Certain old veins still streak
the social amalgam, old quicksands still make
certain passages unsafe, and for these unscien
tific experience affords the best guide.
Your mother has seen more "sorts
and conditions of men" than can pos
sibly have passed in review before
your youthful eyes. She will perceive indica
tions of trnth, reliability, selfishness, treach
ery or weakness, which no amount of mathe
matical or classical training can teach yon. Do
not turn from her counsels, or believe that all
knowledge can be gathered from books and
blackboards; and more, do not mistake bard
ness for strength. It will not weaken your
powers of self-assertion or resistance to imposi
tion, if you remember that the mother you
think so narrow and old-fashioned has borne
the burden and heat of the day; for a few years
yon were all her own; she was all the arbiter of
yonr opinions, tastes, aspirations; she never
dreamt the day vi ould come when you would
leave her ideas and convictions far behind, and
sail with a flowing sheet into a new ocean of
thought.
Do not press the thorn of indifference too
rudely and sharply into her loving heart, for
loving it generally is in spite ot little sharp
outbursts, the effervescence ol wounded affec
tion and innocent vanity. Look kindly at
whatever is best and wisest in her; credit her
nature with these, and put her narrowness, ber
rigidity, to the acconnt of the training and
influence under which she has been reared.
To yonth belongs the kingdom of this world
and the glory of it; we, elders, must abdicate
as years roll on. Strive as we may to keep in
touch ith tbe bright young creatureson whom
we have lavished our love and care and life,
they will break away from us; they will only
give their full confidence to their fellows; we
cannot learn their shibboleth, nor keep step
with them on tbe upward march. Nor per
haps can they give us all we want. What do they
know of tbe joys and griefs the triumphs
the heart-breaks we have endured? The friends
who seem so charming to you are tiresome old
frumps to them! They do not know the magic
of mutual memories albeit they are busy ac
cumulating such stores themselves. Let them
go free, and when they feel there Is no attempt
to clip their wings they will from time to time
throw us such crumbs of sympathy, of confi
dence, of esteem, as may serve, to brighten
the gathering shadows of our way as we de
scend into tbe valley.
Nor need we wait with outstretched hands as
though begging alms, nor whining for compas
sion. We, too, have done onr wont- We have
borne the noontide heat, nor shrunk from the
wounds and roughness of the conflict, so with
heads erect and hearts bravely resigned we
salute the colors of the young troops who,
starting from the vantage ground we have
won for them, carry on their standards to new
conquests in the great dim future, which our
falling sight cannot pierce.

A Rumor That the Soldier Element Want
Him for Cily Treasurer
It is currently reported that the old
soldier element of Pittsburg desires to have
something to say in regard to the choice of
a candidate for City Treasurer at the muni
cipal election.
The man decided upon as a nominee for
that office is Captain McClelland, a renom
lnation ot the present incumbent, Major
Denniston, being unconsidered in the mat
ter. This with the rumor that Controller
E. S. Morrow is being urged by a certain
contingent as another candidate for Mayor,
makes political rossip very lively around

ENOCH AEDEN GREATLY EEViSED.
The First Bnibnnd of a Kocnester Widow
Return as From the Grave.
Kochesteb, N.X., November 22. There
was brought to light here to-day, through
the return of a man who has been absent for
13 years, an Enoch Arden case with several
variations. In July, 1883, Thomas N. "Wil
cox, a capitalist, reputed to be worth $100,.
000, and a supposed widower, died, leaving
the most of his property to his son, Fred
erick P. Wilcox. In August, 1884, a suit
was begun against Wilcox by Mrs. Nellie
Blackford, a widow ot 35 years, for her
dower right in the estate. Mrs. Black
ford asserted that she was the wife of
Wilcox, and that she had been secretly mar
ried to him in 1881, in Montreal, on board a
steamer lying at the dock. Subsequent tes
timony went to show that the only witnesses
to theceremony were the engineer and stew
ard of the steamer. Young Wilcox fought
the claim, and a legal battle was carried on
in several courts, in which seven of the
leading lawyers of the city were employed
on both sides. The suit was begun in the
special term of the Supreme Court, and
finally ended in a compromise, by which
Mrs. Blackford, or Wilcox, received $20,
000. In the course of the trial evidence
was given to show that Blackford, her first
husband, had gone West in 1876 and had
died there.
This morning a thin-faced man, with
black eyes, black hair and black mustache,
appeared at Mrs. Wilcox's house. It was
the husband, who has neither been seeu nor
heard ot since 1876, and who was supposed
to have committed suicide. His wife nearly
went into hysterics, but afterward received
him affectionately.

M IMPORTANT CASE.
Mr. F, C. Shaffer Willingly Ap
pears as a Witness.
SOME POSITIVE EVIDENCE.
The machine shops of the Panhandle
Railroad Company, located at No. 19 Wash
ington street, are one ot the points of inter
est to strangerc visiting this city. Here the
iron road horses are brought in to undergo a
training and put in condition.
Tbe writer had the pleasure of meet
ing Mr. F. C. Schaffer, an employe of the
shops, and from him obtained some very in
teresting information.
"Mv trouble," said Mr. Schaffer, "began,
I think, about two years ago. At least that
is when I first knew exactly what it was.
How long I had had it before that I do not
know. It was chiefly in my head at first.
I had a dull, heavy pain over my eyes. My
nostrils would clog up, first on one side and
then on the other.
"My sight became dim. My eyes would
fill with water and become so weak and in
flamed that I could hardly see to read. If
I would overtax them in the least by read
ing they would ache and pain me so that I
conld hardly bear it Sounds like ringing
and buzzing would come in my ears and I
conld see that my hearing was being af
fected. "As the trouble extended my throat be
came very seriously involved. I wonld
catch cold on the slightest provocation. My
throat would feel raw and inflamed nnd
sometimes would get so sore that it would
be hard for me to swallow. In spite of
everything I could do the trouble kept get
ting a stronger hold upon me.
'I had to be continually hawklug and
raising to clear my throat. Something
would seem to stick there I could not get up
or down. I could feel the mucus dropping
back, and sometimes I would have choking
and coughing spells that would leave me
feeling miserable.
"My stomach became very much de
ranged. There would be a feeling of dis
comfort and nausea after eating; and what
I did eat seemed to lie there like a load or
weight Frequently I would sit down to the
table feeling very hungry. Then I conld only
eat a few mouthfuls. The sight or smell of
food seemed to take away my appetite.
Jtfr. F. C, GchajCrer.yaWebiler St.
"Sharp shooting pains wonld take me in tbe
chest, running throngh to tbe shoulder blades.
Dizzy spells would come over me frequently,
accompanied by paloltation ot the heart. This
would sometimes leave me weak and faint.
My sleep did not seem to refresh me, and I
would get np in tbe morning feeling more
tired than when I went to bed at night.
"Night sweats came on and weakened me
terribly. I wonld have feverish spells, followed
by a cold, chilly sensation. I tried many
physicians, but in spite of everything I could
do I grew steadily weaker and worse, losing
flesh all tbe time.
"When I went to Drs. Copeland A Blair the
night sweats were increasing In frequency, and
I was growing weaker rapidly. Although they
did not make any marvelous promises. I fell
that they would cure lne, I Improved steadily
from the start under their treatment. M.r
throat became welL Tbe night sweats disap
peared. I gained back my lost weight
and strength. The pains in the chest,
passed away. I slept well, ate well and felt,
well. I am strong and well now, quite like
another person from what litas when I first
went to Drs. Copeland fc Blair."
UPON THE HEARING.
Showing (he Connection tnd (he Signs of
Progress.
A large proportion of the troubles of the
ear may be traced to catarrhal affections.
Many sufferers from catarrh will testify to
the peculiar effect that the disease seems to
have even in its early stages upon the hear
ing. The roaring and buzzing in the ears is
one of tbe most familiar symptoms to ca
tarrhal sufferers.
Sometimes the sound which they hear in
their ears is described by them as "steam
going out of a pipe," "the sodnd of a great
waterfall," "sounds of water overflowing,"
or "steam from a locomotivej" as buzzing,
singing, ringing and crackling; sometimes
like the sounds in a shell held at the ear,
or the bursting of bubbles..
Sometimes tbe sounds are of a beating,
pulsating, throbbing character, in cases
keeping time with the regular beaiing of the
heart. Sometimes there aro several different
sounds, such as pulsatingand buzzingtogether,
in some cases the sounds are so intense as to
render life a burden, and there are instances
on record where the distracted sufferers have
resorted to suicide to rid themselves of them.
There can be no more important predisposing
or exciting cause in producing ear diseases
than catarrh in the nose and throat. The
symptoms of catarrh itself can hardly be mis
taken. In many cases the patients have pains
about the chest and sides, andsometimes in the
back. They feel dull and sleepy; the mouth
has a bad taste, especially in the morning, A
sort of sticky slime collects about tbe teeth.
The appetite is poor. There is a feeling like a
heavy load on the stomach, sometimes a faint,
"all-goue" sensation at the pit of the stomach,
which food does not satisfy. The eyes are
snnken, the hands and feet become cold and
clammy.
After a while a congh sets in, at first dry, but
after a few months It is atterded with a greenish-colored
expectoration. The patient feels
tired, all the while, and sleep does not seem to
afford any rest. After a time he becomes
nervons, irritable and gloomy, and has evil
forebodings. 1 here is a giddiness, a sort of
whirling sensation in tho head when rising up
suddenly. The bot els become costive, the skin
is dry and hot at times; the blood becomes
thick and stagnant; the whites of the eves be
come tinged with yellow; the kidney secretions
become scanty and high-colored, depositing a
sediment after standing. There Is frequently
a spitting up of food, sometimes with a sour
taste and sometimes with a sweetish taste, this
is frequently attended with palpitation of the
heart and asthmatic symptoms.
Results of Home Treatment.
Last May Miss Lottie J. Forker, of 299 Arch
street, Meadrlile, Pa., placed herself under
treatment by mail with Drs. Copeland & Blair
for ber catarrhal trouble.
On June 9 she wrote: "Your medicine is
doing me good. I do-not feel so tired, and my
headaches have ceased."
August 26 her letter stated: "I feel quite like
a different woman from the one I was when 1
commenced your treatment."
Mr. M. C. Wilson, who commenced using the
home treatment early in July, wrote on the 25th
of the same month: "lam improving steadily;
feel much better than I have for years past."
August 16 he wrote: "1 am leeling like a
different being from the one 1 was when I com
menced your treatment and am glad to be able
