AWo are glad to got for publication the following acceunt of a few South orn women in New York, % ho, re cognizing the logic of ovents, have gone bravely ) vork. A statesman in Ohio once said that "war logislaIe." Wo can add, it also developes. When tho late civil strifo calio upolin us, the Suth10 had nothing but its eour'ago and bilu( blood. Without arin, nunu nitioin or war supplies of any sort. and no skilled labor that could cro atO them, in loss than a year it developed the lab,r and brought forward its supplies in a way to equal the high coura.ugo with which the balttlom W)re fought. AI,l now that the old system of unrequitel toil is swopt away, wO fli,l these people turnilig t. inlustries with an energy and enturprise worthy their American origin. In this general adaptation of the people to their chuanged circumstances, no moro conspienuous instances of he roism have boon displayod anywhoro than by the womnl of thc South, who, throwing the traditions of the past behind them, arose to the dig, nity of vork and went forth with resolute hearts to moet their strango now dostiny. Undauntod by dis tance, or the loneliness . that u they know m11ust await thom in istrango citios, they scattorod thom selves over the United States, goinuf Swh-,VC Wney Choug6ht tney Coula . earn an honorahlo maintenance. While many sought employment in e Washington, a number wonded their footsteps to the great city of Now York, and took up cherfully w)hat. over work their hands found to do. Among those who are at work in G Gotlm.L11 we Way mention the follow i ing: Mrs. McNeil, of South Carolina, a it venerable and lovely lady, has Os tablished herself in a very success 1 fil boarding--houso. IMrs. Sadler, of South Carolina, a .danghter of the lon. George Buist, e of Charleston, keeps a popular boarding-house, well patronized by her Sothern friends who summer in New York. Miss Florence do Troville, whose father was the ]-on. Richard do Tre ville, onco lieutenant-governor of South Carolina, also presides over a popular boarding,hoiso. Forgetting that she was once a petted socioty belle in Charleston, hor nativo city, - with a courage and energy most admirable she wvent heart and soul to wvork, and success crowvnedl her efforts. Young, frail in form, doli,. cato in health, for years she fought a glorious figh t-as glorious as any horo ever fought on the tented fields etor. eMrs. Edward White, the wife of Colonel White, of Charleston, South Carolina, prosides over an eduoa tional establishment for young ladies. For this her accomplsh monts eminently lit her, and her Murray Hill home is the abode of refinement and culture. Madamo (de Grand Coulson, the( genial and accomplished wvifo of Dr. Rawvley Coulson, of Virginia, in :1, structs classes in tiho French lan guage. Mrs. Patton, the widow of Mr. James Patton, a lawyer of Asheville, North Carolina, and (laughter of the Rev. Dr. Chapman, is teaching in the school of the Sisterhood, estab lished by the late Rev. Dr. Muhion borg. Miss Alice Simons, the gifted ja daughter of the late Dr. Hume Simnons of Charleston, South Car .olina, and great niece of Washington Alston, the celebrated painter, teaches in one of the public schools of Newv York. Thilis young lady also writes for the press. Reared amnid the refinements and what may be termed the exclusion of that proita Lcity Charleston, aho came to. New **York, and, like the rest of bor ,9outh 'ern sisters, plunged jinto the thick* mr est of the fight, making her way3 rt with a resolution and onergy which a placee herp ini the foremoat ranks o the training school for nurses at Bolle Vito hospital we may mention Miss Luce, of Arkansas, who has received the diploia, and Miss La borde, of South Carolina. Mrs. Jordan, the widow of a physician of South Carolina, came to Now York to better hor broken fortune. Sho established herself as a dress makor, having a peculiar aptitudo for the work. Hor success has bocn most complete, and "Madam Jordan" is now one of the celebratod "glasses of fashion" in New York. Miss Mary Choosoborough is a daughter of the late Mr. John W. Cheeseborough, a prominont ship pinlg merchant of Charleston, South Carolina, and sister of Mr. John Cheosoboroigh, for many years cAshior of the Bank of Charleston. As an artist she has mot with much success. Ainong the Sauthern women who h wo entered C.ho fiold of literature in Now York may be mentioned Miss Sallio Brock, of Virginia, whose name appears in "Southland Writ ers." Miss Brock was connected at one time, perhaps still is, with one of Frank Leslie's publications.. She has also publishesd two novels and contributes to m%ny of the leading periodicals. Iosdamos Sallie and Emily Bat te\-y, of Georgia, wield most ane cOssful pons as reporters and fash ion-writors. Mrs. Sturgis, formerly Miss -Up sher, of Virginia, known in literary circles as "Fanny Fielding," isa. forcible and pleasant writer. She came to Now York to make her way with her pen, and fell into the mnoshes of matrimony. She writos for various publications ; her article on the Florida Murats, contributed to the Gala.xy, was widely noticed. Miss Carolina Adams is a daugh, ter of the late Rev. Jasper Adams, an Episcopal clergyman, who was at one time president of the Charles ton, S. C., college. Full of energy aind porseveranco, she never faltered in the task she had undertaken With a resolute will she set to work to conquer fate, and has succeeded. She is connected with Demorest's publications, and is the fashion corespondent of several leading newspapers. Miss E. R. Choseborough, a. young sister of the artist of the Samo name, is a native of Charles ton, South Carolina. Her name ap poar in Buchanan Read's "Female, Pocts of America," "Women of the. Sout.h Distinished in Literature,' publishod by Derby & Jackson, of' Now York, and in "Southland: Writers." For many years after the war sho editod the Darlington (S. C.) Southerner. She is now the proof-reader in the office of the I"nily Journal and Pul)it of the .Day, Now York city, and contributes to these and other publications. Those, then, are a few of "the lazy Southern wonion" of whom we have often heard. Are they lazy ? Lot their works speak for them. Theirs is a record of which they need not be ashamed. Born, as most of them woro, to lnxury', wheni the God of Battles decided against them, they did not sit down and' fold their hands iniuseless r'epinings, but starting out, filled the work%. sh1ops of America, and to -day stand side by side with their Northern sisters, not ashamed to be classed among the wvorking women of the: land. FRE A FREiNoH writer thus describes' Francis Joseph of Austria: "The Emperor betrays that kind of chronic melancholy which markst saddenod and declining reigns. He is tall, and delicate in health; .his. gait is elegant and hesitating; he wears habitually the loose undress. uniform of a cavalry officer. His foot is small, but he has a large hand ; the thumbs are narrow and. the nails round. His gesture in dicates a certain embarrassment, not altogothor devoid of dignity; his head is upright, loing and~ well set ; his whiskers are: fair and straight, and all the Court wear theirs in the same style;i his hair is bright auburn-ho is bald on the back of the -head. His eyes ' are a grayish-blue -anid diamond :shape; sometimes,they sparkle ,with im~ patience, but soon sottfe again into that look of dull resignation:whip seeims to be a chiaractetlMid sovereigns who .last long. -He Ii a short, upturned, flo0, joine6d to~ strong,;1Arm and ,projecting. iout, i the shorb lips co,veredby~ mustache, the sml ohin, con'etitute the fau'ym A4 peotaliarit' of tbe House c
