Hark! What is that ?”
It was the sound of feet upon the
pavement, followed by n sudden, sharp
ring of the door-hell.
Mrs. Ainsworth hastily smoothed her
hair and ran down-stairs and opened the
door starting back with a cry of terror'
it the objects that presented themselves.
There, in charge *of two burly pohee-
inen, was Ned, his clothes covered with
mud, ‘his face with blood, and his wild
eyes and lolling attitude betraying all too
plainly his deplorable, disgraceful con
dition—
One of the policemen touched his hat
resiieotfully to the stricken young wife.
If you please, ma’am, it’s toothing

“ ‘By morning he’ll be all right,’ Oh !

Women and Children.
The census statistics relating to 44
id”, occupations show some significant.
r suits as to the employment of women
md children. The whole number of fe
males re|M>rted as piirsning gainful occu-
p.itionrf in the United States in 1870 was
1,836,288. In 1880 the number was
2.647,157, showing an increase during
the ten years of 810,860. This result
shows that the numlier of females en
gaged in occupations has increased at a
much higher rate than the female poi il
lation, and also at a higher rate than the
number of males pursuing occupations.
It further appears that the rate of iu-
.-rease in the number of females .piusu
ing occupations has lieen far higher in
manufacturing and mechanical industries
—that is, in factories -chiefly—than in
any other kind of “employment.
Similar results are shown by the cen
sus statistics with reference to the em
ployment of children. In 1870 the
whole number between ten and fifteen
years of age reported as pursuing gain
ful occupations was 739,164. In 1880
the number was 1,118,356, or an increase
during the decade of 379,192. The rate
of this increase was greater than the rate
>f increase in the population between
I hose ages, aud it was also greater than
the rate of increase in the number of
idults pursuing gainful occupations. As
in the case of women, so in the case of
, children, the rate of increase in the
•7hmtssf 'etoployed has been greatest in
factorii s. Nearly three hundred ttvvn-
aand more women, and aliout sixty thou
sand’more children^ we^e employed in

fore the war, and it was a not unreason
able presumption that he was still a
Democrat. I realized in a moment that
if the Democrats should nominate Gen
eral Grant, .and he should accept the
nomination, they would undoubtedly
elect their candidate, Ier the General
was then probably the most popular man
iu the Country, and could be elected no
matter whose candidate he might be.
As I thought the matter over I was im
pressed more and more strongly that the
Democrats had this end in view.
“Not long after this I met Erastus
Coming on the street Mr. Coming
was evidently feeling very well satisfied
about something; He said to toe:
" ‘Well, Weed, what are your people
going to do for a Presidential candidate
next time ?’ -7^
“ ‘Oh, I dd not know yet what we
shall do. There is plenty of time for
attending to that, and the Republican
party does not lack eligible men,’ I an
swered.
“ ‘Well,’ said Corning, ‘you had tetter
put on the strongest man yon have, or
we shall beat you pretty badly—in fact,
1 think we shall do that at any rate.’
“’“‘Then I felt moderately confident
that the Democrats -hod decided upon
Dominating General Grant as their can
didate; but if any doubt of this lingered
in my mind it was effectually dispelled,
an hour later, by a few moments’ con
versation I had with Dean Richmond.
After some talk npon general matters, I
said to him: — : ~ : —
44 ‘Coming tells me you expect to
bring out a pretty strong candidate for
the Presidency some of these days, End
that yon actually expect to elect hita.’
“ ‘Did Corning tell you who it was ?’
asked Richmond, rather anxiously, with
a distracted expression,
44 "No; only he said that you have de
cided npon a very strong man. ’
44 4 Oh, well,’ responded "Richmond,
iComing talks too much — altogethef
too much, and he doesn’t know what he
is talking ateut half the time 1’
“That completely satisfied me; and
then I began to consider if we oould not
do something to head off this contem
plated movement of the Democrats. I
felt pretty sure that Richmond and his
friends had very lately conceived this
idea of nominating General Grant, and
had not likely gone so far as to send him
any communication upon the subject.
It then occurred to me that if the
Republicans oould see General Grant
first we might effectnally beat
the Demorats in thiaq^rticular scheme.
With that end in view, ftool^ the first
train for New York, arriving iiLJthe city
-late in the afternoon. As soon as pos
sible I saw Abraham Wakeman, Sheridan
Shook, Thomas Murphy, John Kelly,
Owen W. Brennan, William A. Darling,
Hngh Gardner, Dr. Van Wyck, and
some more of my staunch Republican
: r riends—all representative men in the
!>arty—aud we met together, organized
and held a meeting that some evening at
the As tor House, in the old Room No.
11, where so many political movements
were planned in those days. At this
meeting I explained What I
and suggested that we might capture
the General for onr own ticket by a flank
movement, as it were—by seeing him at
nute, asking him if he would accept the
icmination from the Republican party, jf
ondered, and theta, in esse we received a
itisfactory answer—M I hod no doubt

“That afternoon Thomas Mnrphy
( afterward appointed by President Grant
Collector of the Port of New York) came
down With a full account of the proceed*
ings of oUr meeting, and an ‘official’
message from the committee* General
Grant seemed Very much pleased with
our aettoh, and formally Consented to
become a Candidate for the nomination
at the hands of the Republican party.
So oUr mission Was accomplished. The
next morning the report that General
Grant had Committed himself to the Re
publicans spread consternation in the
ttlimlfl df the Democrats, who had al
ready come to regard the General as
their own future candidate. The hope
that they had placed in 4 a strong man’
was now completely turned against
them.
“Some time after this I met Rich
mond, and he confessed to me that the
Democrats had l>een outwitted and their
thunder had been stolen almost at the
last moment, for he had no doubt but
that, in three or four days more, Grant
would have been pledged as a prospec
tive Democratic candidate.
“The rest is history—how, in the Re
publican National Convention held in
Chicago, in 1868, Grant was unanimous
ly nominated upon the first ballot, there
being no opposition whatever. And
from that time the-ftepublican party has
t>een in powetr-as the result, in the first
place, of our having beaten the Demo
crats in securing the consent of General
Grant to accept the nomination.”—
Mr. Weed told the story with the’’en
joyment of on old soldier relating the
incidents of a raid within the enemy’s
lines. The manner is lacking, but the
actual words are closely preaerved.—The

holding a hAndkctehief between them.
Soirie prayers having bhefl e ld in the

and the body Conveyed to one of the
towers. These towers are rottod. tttAasive-
looking buildings, with white plastered
walls, the circumference of the largest
of them Wing 276 feet and the height
of the Wall twenty Ate feet At a dis
tance of three feet fro to the ground
there is A floor in the wall, through
which'the oorpse-l tourers ptish the body,
and then, entering themselves, place it
in its appointed place. Tito interior of
each tower, which is open to the sky, is
^ ivered, At a-heigb* -e* 4ww
from the ground, with a circular flooring,
which slopes downward on all sides to
the center, and contains ntltnerdtas open
grooves ot receptacles for dead liodles.
The outer ring of this flooring is set
apart for the Indies of men, a second
ring for those of women aud the third or
innermost ring for those of children. At
regular distances, radiating channels in
tersect these rings. TFbe body having
lieen deposited in its place, the bearers
retire, and immediately a swarm of vul
tures, which birds of pfey msy always
lie seen sitting in dosens on,the top of
the walls, swoop down and strip the
body of every particle of flesh in lees
than two hofirs. After a few days the
corpse-bearers return, and, collecting the
lionee, which are then jierfeetly dried,
place them in the central well, forty-five
feet wide, where they remain to be de
composed by the air aud the rain. The
moisture runs off into the ground throngh
filters of charcoal and sand, and leaves
nothing of the human body in the in
side of the tower, but the dry, crumbling
bones.

Neal Dow says, iu a letter to the Atm,
that wherever officers in the State sus

a carefulsearch they disoovereda spring,
on touching which the door opened. It

by this door. In the oave were two
