London's Working Girls.
Their Illode of Living aud of
. Amusement.
Along the embankment ` between
Blackfriar3 and Westminster the
student of social science may ou Sun-
, day evening observe the most remark-
able spectacle in Europe. There is not
a city on the continent, not even Vien-
na, in which anything like it can be
seen. Under the gleam of the electric
lights thousands upon thousands of
- men and women are strolling, and it is
easy to see that all of -them belong to
the humblest walks of life. "It is no
exaggeration to say that thousands of
young girls may be seen wandering
entirely unprotected by any male
escort, and laughing, jeering, pushing,
dancing, shouting, sometimes behaving
in what the French-weuld call an "un- _
qualified manner.", These are the
work -girls of London. Heaven help
them ! and they are so little conscious
of their degradion that they seem to
take positive delight in it. "Do you.
suppose they are happy ?" I asked an
old Londoner. "Happy ? They're as
pleased as Punch with what theycall a
lark. Lor' bless you, they don't think
they're doing wrong. They're not
brought up in a way to know much
about the finer feelings, I can tell yon."
They see immorality all around ,them,
and never know anything else them-
selves. If one of them remains reason-
ably pure, it is considered a great stroke
of chance. They are as ignorant as
savages of ten thousand things which
they ought to know for their own pro-
tection. They wander here by. the
river, talking sometimes in language
which pen may not record. It is easy
to see that" some of them have been
visiting the public houses, and by the
time they reach the paternal roof's pro-
tecting shadow, some of them are ob-
livious of external circumstauces.
Large gangs of men and boys of all
grades, from the coarse and dangerous
.villain in hob -nailed shoes to the small
city clerk with his too tight -fitting
clothes and his jargon of the counting
house, parade the .broad side -walks,
now engaged in an amateur dar ce with
some merry party of girls, now talking
to some othergroups in language which
would be insulting if they chose to
consider it so, and now getting- into a
sound encounter at fisticuffs. A fight
among the girls is not at all uncommon.
And these are the future mothers of the
working classes ; these the creatures
that must be in the shop and market at
sunrise, and remain there until sunset
every day except Sunday. And what a
use they make of • their Sunday ! Of
course the fathers and mothers, care-
less and callous as the majority of
them pare, still would feel a certain
compunction about allowing their
daughters to wander through the streets"
atone until long after midnight, if it
were not a custom which has become
time-honored. What per cent. of the
working girls of London are thus ex-
posed to every danger of a great me-
tropolis I do not know. but it must be "
very great: Judging from the language
which one hears from these Sunday
promenaders on the embankment, they
have been touched by no moral in-
fluence whatever, nor by any aesthetical
one, except that procured by a view of
the public house walls and rows of
lights around "Cleopatra's Needle."
•
A Cruel Robbery.
' One of the most despicable and hard-
hearted robberies we have ever been
called upon to chronicle took place in
Sarnia about two weeks ago. A gentle-
man returning from Point Edward to
Sarnia, on Monday evening of last
week, by street car, noticed among the
. passengers a respectable looking, mid-
dle-aged man, in charge of his four
helpless little ones—all boys, the eldest
aged about eight years and the young-_
est just turned two—and entering' into
conversation, our reporter was inform-_
ed by the man that he was the victim
of a heartless robbery, perpetrated by a
.sister-in-law, aged about 19 years,
whom he had raised from childhood.
The particulars are substantially as
follows :
John Eady is the name of the man
who has been thus cruelly wronged.
About ten_ years ago he was married at
Ottawa, where he resided for several
years, following the trade of carpenter-
ing. Shortly after his marriage his
wife suggested that a sister of�1iers—at
that time aged nine years—b allow-
ed to live with them, which leas mu-
tually agreed to. The name of this
young woman is Carrie Johnson. Three
or four years ago the family rnoved to
Petrolia, where his wife dieda couple of
years since—leaving her husband and
it is supposed they were taken to De-
troit by this ungrateful woman. Mr.
Eady stated that there must have been
at least seventy-five dollars iu cash in
her possession at the time she sold his
goods, and the total value of his effects
—which included furniture, stoves,
bedding, wearing apparel, pictures, car-
penter's tools, crockery and a number
of valuable articles—amounted to nearly
three hundred dollars. On Saturday
the four helpless • little ones were for-
warded to Marine City, per steamer
Carrie 11. Blood, at which place they
were found by their father. The poor
man walked the entire distauce from
Marine City to Fort Gratiot, opposite
Point Edward, carrying the youngest
child ou his back, leaving him iu charge
of a friend, and walked- back to the
former place the same day—a total dis-
-tanco of forty miles. On Monday h
brought the other three' children
Fort G-ratiot, and after getting h
youngest child, all four made their wit
across the river and took the street c
—where they were seen by our. report
—bound for Petrolia via Great Wester
Railway, where the children are to b
left in charge of an uncle for a fe
"weeks, or until such time as the fath
might get together sufficient househol
articles with which to again keep hous
The loss of his entire bedding and be
clothing, together with his own an
children's extra wearing' apparel,
keenly felt by Mr. Eady. Altogethe
the occurrence is one of the most hear
less we have ever had , occasion t
chronicle.—Sarnia Observer.

The Boston Journal gives some remin
iscences of an old New ,England stag
driver from which we take the follow

that by his inventions, the cost of
weaving coach lace was redueed at once
from 22 cents a yard to 3 cents, and the
cost of weaving Brussels carpet from 30
cents to 4 cents.
Curious Plant.
A lady in pall Francisco has a Japan-
ese erotic called the baby plant. It is
of the genus; lily, four feet in height,
and blossoms semi-annually. The flow-
er is star-shaped, having five petals -of a
handsome brown and yellow color. The
calyx encircles and protects a tiny figure,
which bearsla resemblance to a nude
baby, its little arms and legs outstretch-
ed, and the eyes distinctly marked. The
owner paid $300 for the plant.

d Simple and Becoming.
And blaming me because there was s
many hills to climb. I remember on
mau who had a wife sick at a house o
the road, and heard just afore I starte
from Boston that she was dying. We
had a light cargo that trip,jand the man
kept urging n -e to go faster' he was so
anxious. I. was driving as fast as I
dared to send the cattle, 'cause it was a
pretty hot day, and I told him so. He
asked me how much • my horses were
worth. I said about s70 apiece. Horses
were cheap in those days. He just pull -
ea his wallet right out, and counted
out -$280, handed it to me, and said he
wanted to buy them but that he must
drive. Well, as I could get as good
ones for the money, and seeing how
worked up he was; I just put the money
in my pocket and handed the lines to
him, telling him to go ahead if he want-
ed to, and didn't he go ? 'He just kept
the long whip -lash tickling the flanks o
the leaders, all the time he was on- a
level ground, and- the only breathers

We finally reached the house his wife
was stopping at about three -"hours '
.ahead of time ; he found her alive, and
rushing from the ' house made me a
present of the team. I refused them, -
but he insisted, and so, as -the cattle
were all right the next day, not -hurt at

Travelling Stones.
- Many of our readers have doubtless .
heard of the famous travelling stoles of
Australia. ' Similar curiosities" have re-
pent y been -found in Nevada, which are
_described as almost perfectly round, the
majority of them as large as a walnut,
and of an' irony nature. When distri-
buted . about upon the floor,. table, or
other level surface, within two or three
feet of each oth, they immediately
begin travelling toward a common cen-
tre, and there lie huddled like a lot of
eggi in a nest. ! A single stone, removed
to a distance df thr e and a • half feet,
upon being release , at once started off
with wonderful an somewnat comical
celerity to join` its ellows ; taken away
four or five feet it remains motionless.
They are found in region that is coml-
paratively level, an is nothing but bare
rock. Scattered o ler this barren
gion are little basin§, from a few feet
a rod or two in diameter ; and it- is
the bottom of these that the rolli
stones are found. They are from the
size of a pea to five or six inches in di-
ameter. The cause of these stones roll-
ing together is doubtless to be found in
the material of which they are compos-
ed, which appears to be lode stone or_
magnetic iron ore.
