The first appointments were made In tbe Treasury, Mr. Chase, at that time Secretary, thinking tbe place for able-bodied men was In the battle fields and not behind desks at woik which women were quite as able to perform. At that time vitry few of those in authority thoughtithe experiment would be successful. But it was one of tbe steps la tbe d rection of progress prompted by tne war wnicn time ana experience have shown to be fitly taken. In the Treasury Department at present probably 30 per cent, of the employes are females, and in all the de partments in the aggregate 20 per cent, at least are females. Much of the work done by,tbern. is of course of . an ordi nary) clerical' character, not requiring Kyj extraordinary intelligence lor ac mplishments, but in very many in stances women are round performing a high character of service. As short hand writers, amanuenses, draughts women snd counters of stamps and money, it is not infrequent to find them superior to the men by whose sides they sre at work, and in the census bureau women sre preparing with accuracy and dispatch mathematical calculations of an intricate and tedious nature. There has, however, always been more or less of opposition to the employment of women in the depart meats, and there have been members of the cabinet from time to time who would like to have broken up the prac tice JChis 11 not. to he .wondered at fl TM3 Jlrf tfcUTeuntryiWoq would sooner H tfkVttte aWayHheif lives in petty offices W I upwu nw j mrau. ie tban strike out with true manhood and wrest fortune from fate by hard and. honest licks. oman deserves credit that in tne face of opposing influences she bes demonstrated her ability to do so much of the work required in the service of tbe government, and it is a subject of congratulation that under the operation ot the new civil service rulea the avenues to government em ployment for women are to be widened, notwlthslrnding that there is much moaning and groaning among effemi nate male officenolders and offireseekers in consequence. If these rules are faithfully carried out, there is no reaj son why women who are competent: should not aspire to any position in tba sxecatiTe departments, although some ef these in' control are endeavoring to? prove mat it win do expedient. i!

I Tom Smith, who threw a brick into a window of the Carolina Central train, a few days ago.near Matthew's Station, has been arrested and committed to prison. He lived at Stout's, on the C. C Railroad. His deed was a bold and reckless one, and, now that he is safely secured, the courts of justice will at last get fair crack at one train rocker. at least. - David IL Vance, formeJy connect ed with the daily Journal, passed through tbe city night before last from Wash jngton City, on his way to New Orleans.

AaOId Man la Iredell Ceaaty Is Shot te Death by Two Beys A Dispute . Over a Dividing Line Tersmiaates ia Bloodshed.-':- r-:: Mr. John Redman, an old citizen of Iredell county was killed by two of his nephews, sons of Mr. Absalom Red man, on the morning of the 18th ! InsL, In a quarrel over the dividing line be tween their lands. Some few. weeks sgo a survey or wss employed to divide the land and a dispute arose between the Redman family over the coarse of a certain line. A few days afterwards. however, the two sons of Mr. Absalom Redman commenced to move the fence on to the line as run by the surveyor. when the wife of John Redmsn came oat and ran the boys away. She was armed with a gun and fired on the boys. On the morning of the fatal difficulty, they procured a gun and started out determined to build the fence as' they had started it They had scarcely com menced work, when their uncle, John Redman came out and made an attack on them, when a general fight ensued. The uncle drew a knife and endeavored to cut the boys, but tbey warded j him off for the third time, when still per sisting in his endeavors to eat them, one of tbe boys picked ap tbe gun and discharged its contents in Mr. Redman's body. He fell to the ground, when it is stated the second nephew jumped on him and beat him until he was dead. Mr. Jas. T. Anderson, the coroner of Iredell county, went out to the scene of the murder, which is some distance from Statesville, last Thursday to hold an inquest, but we have been unable to bear the result, ana : give - tbe above particulars as they were related to par ties in Statesville. Oar informant, speaking of the Redmans, states that they are a family noted for their law lessness, and further and more serious troubles are expected to result from the tragic killing of the old man. His son was ia Statesville on tbe morning of the killing and wss fearfully incensed against tbe boys and their father when the news reached him. Within the knowledge of the oldest citizens of Ire dell, there has never been asessioa of tbe Superior Court but some member of the Redman family was on trial for some violation of the laws. ' ! Absalom Redman, the father of the two boys who murdered the old man, is a Baptist minister. The boys were si rested and held in custody to a wait the result of the coroner's inquest. Their plea will be that they killed their uncle in self-defence. A Herts. Caret lalaa's Lack ia Texas. Yesterday morning when the train. came in xrom Atlanta a long sandy bearded man hopped down the steps of the second-class car and planting bis feet firmly on theT ground he took up a position like a base-ball catcher and prepared to help his household down and out, First came the old lady with a bandbox under one arm and a carpet satchel under the other. The resolute man caught her in his arms and dumped ber to the ground with a thump tbat made her exclaim as her glasses dropped from the bridge of her nose: "Mercy on me, John look oat for tbe children r and he looked. They kept coming out of the car as fast as be could land them and when at last three little flaxen haired girls as much alike as three peas came oat, the fond parent breathed a sigh of relief ss be helped them down snd turned to the old woman with the remark; "Count 'em, Molly and see if they are all here, and let's march.' The old lady carefully scanned the crowd and feeling satisfied that none were missing; signified ber willing ness to move on. There were just thir teen children in the group. A . few of them had been born single, bat most of them came into tbe world by twos and threes. The father gave bis name aa George Hastings, and abated that he was on bis wsy to bis old home in Brunswick county, which ha had left fiye years ago to live in Texas. Since nis stay in tbat State, his greatest sue as was in raising children. His wife bad twins twice and triplets once while in Texas, and fearing that the next re turns might be worse, he sold out and came back : to old Carolina, where he ssys be intends to stay the balance of his dsys and toil for meat and bread for his family. A most singular fact Is that in all this crowd of children there is bat one boy. ! Sesaetaiag Werta Batter made in May and Jane can be kept sweet and good until the ensuing fall and winter, if one has a cool place for storage; otherwise it is somewhat difficult. Roll batter may be placed in tight casks or tubs, and covered with strong brine. This will exclude the air and keep the batter sweet in a cool room or cellar. Orange county dairy men use the following mixture in pre paring; batter which Is to be kept for some time: To ten ounces of fine salt, add two ounces of saltpeter and two ounces of brown sugar. Tba different ingredients are mixed together, and ah ounce of this mixture is well worked Into every pound this batter.3 WUk UrdV in his Butter I3ook,XTS tSat but ter so treated, if closely packed and stored in a cool place; will keep sound for several years.

Hiae Cotton Carters la the Poaad At an early hour yesterday morning Col. L. -A. Blackwelder, the veteran policeman, gobbled up all the cotton? cutters to be found on the streets in Cotton town and run them on the rock pile. There were nine in all and each one was provided with a hammer and put to breaking rock. After tbey had knocked np about a cart load of rock it was thought that they had been suffi ciently punished and the doors of the stockade were swung open snd they were released. Tbey sre first-rate hands at pounding macadam and the city got more work oat of them in a brief half hoar than it gets oat of an ordinary set of hands in half a day. . The boys will shy clear Of - the old veteran hereafter and will not be so 'free with their jaw while he is about. Tbe next time he runs them in he will give uncle Johnnie Bartlett instructions to keep them at it all day and feed them on hard tack. Thirty-Five Fisaersaea Before a Jastlee of the Peace. ' Several of oar citizens who own fish ponds, and have stocked them with Ger man carp, have been greatly annoyed lately by depredators. Messrs D. P. Hutchison and M. C Quinn bsve the names of about thirty-five trespassers, and will bave all before Esquire Waring at the ssme time. It will be a lively dsy for poachers when the trial comes off. The carp were put in the ponds about two years ago, and the samples these forbidden fishermen hooked out the water show that the growth of the fish has been rapid. Tbey are as broad as a man's h an (Land from four to seven Inches long. . Tbe ponds where this fishing has been done are all private ponds, and were stocked st a considera ble expense to the owners, and they are firm in their intention to prosecute the trespassers to the extent of the lsw. When the crowd are brought up Justice Waring will have to adjourn his court to the open air. The names have mostly been obtained from one of the party, who, to save his own bacon, turned "in former" ; The Merth Aaserfeaa Review. The May number of this interesting publication contains nine articles, near ly every one of . which discusses some topic or problem at the present moment prominent in the public mind. Senator John T. Morgsn writes of "Mexico," and sets forth the considerations of commercial advantage and interna tional comity which are rapidly bring ing about a more cordial understand ing between that country and the Uni ted States. The Rev. William Kirkus, taking occasion from Bishop McQuaid s recent vaticinations regaining the de cay of Protestantism, makes a vigorous counter charge upon the papal system in an article entitled "The Disintegra tion of Romanism." ; In "Emerson and Carlyle," Edwin JP. Whipple discourses with all bis old-time keenness of psy chological insight and perfection of literary form upon the strangely di verse mental and moral characteristics of those two great thinkers. Professor Felix Adler offers "A Secular View of Moral Training," arguing that the cur rent skeptical habit Of -thought de. mands an independent system of prac tical ethics, based primarily on observa tion rather than on revelation. "Com munism in America," by Prof. Alexan der Winchell, gives very forcible ex pression to the apprehensions of those pessimistic observers of the trend of events in this country who think that they see in onr political and social de velopment all the signs of impending national, decay. The other articles are Affinities of Buddhism and Christian ity," by the Rev. Dr. James Freed Clarke; "Woman as an Inventor, by Matilda Joalyn Gage; "Coll adpW- ments," by Rossiter Johnson ; and "Ex tradition," by A. G. Sedgwick.

Charlotte has at last seen one of those modern curiosities called a "dude," He baa been here, and in his brief stroll around the , city yesterdsy, or while loitering about the hotels, he was the target for all eyes. He was . narrow- chested, and his legs were lank and wavering. On his head was a bell- crowned English beaver, with a mourn ing band two inches wide, and around his neck he wore a collar of preposter ous height. ! A drab covert coat, such as Englishmen wear when riding to a "meet," wss buttoned closely about his far from robust figure. The garment was so short that the ends of his spike- toiled coat fell far below it, producing a weird and eerie effect. His trousers were so tight that the uneven contour of his legs inspired pity, and his feet were squeezed into long and narrow shoes. Over his breast dangled a single glass, and he wore English dogskin gloves, the color of ripe brick dost. He held a silver-tipped cane under his arm, and stood with one foot far in advance of the other. - His hat was tipped back on his headjiia hair brushed forward at the aides, and be displayed evidences of a vapid . moustache. But the most noticeable : thing about him was the expression of his face. He meant to appear haughty. .; Instead he looked in- anient. 'V - - - He was a dude. , Ia conversation ne ' was about as much of a cariosity as he was in ap pearance. In answer to -a question be stated that "a dude is a gentleman. A cad, can never be a dude. : He mast not be ia trade, but have money. I dare say tht.;re dudes who have very little taocy, but then they have blood, you; know. ..'But "the point of the thins la that the dude is the embodiment er of the ah triumph of the gentleman over the cad. . You take what was once knswn as staweU; or a fop, or a dandy, and it was never absolutely necessary for him to be gentleman. .The pet, particular god of swellJsm was Esaa Broome!, don't chew know, tzl yet he was not gentleman acccriir j ta oar English acceptation of the tero.

PRICE FIVE CENTS. A liOstllorse and aNight ia the Wood. A party of three young gentlemen left the city night before last for i small coon hunt, and rode out to thr country on horses. On striking coon land they dismounted and tied thei horses in the woods, when they pru- Lceeded with their hunt Tbey spent a couple of hours In the wood.. when they concluded thst It was time to start back home, and proceeded to look u; their horses. Two of the party found no difficulty In msking their way to their horses, but the third man was not so lucky and could not, for the life of him, find the spot where his horse waa tied. He beat about the woods for a couple of hours in vain,and finally gave ap the search ia bewilderment, and l.i i companions came on to town leaving him to the solitary enjoyment of the woods. He waited until daylight came, when be found himself sitting on a lo, and through the disappearing gloom he spied, not fifty yards distant, his horsa tied to a tree, Impatiently champing the bit and stamping the ground. The young man wanted to have himself kicked the worst sort, but as nobody was . near to accommodate him, , ho mounted his horse and came on to town. , By Coney Island's sea cut roar, A drown In ssaa ess cast ashore, Kacb stiffened limb ii Looked stark and stub, 8C Jacob's Oil care tiro onos mora.
