BACH8MR WOMEH." A atudent of human nature obaerred the other day that the race of old maids bad become extinct By that, ha meant of twenty or thirty year ago that thin, pale, ailent typa of melancholy failure. Uaually poor, untrained though intelligent, aha bad no active part In the affair of Jifa; no aapaoial place in the world; nothing to 3o bat tha thing that othar paople left undone, or refused to do. Bhe waa an unwelcome penaioner on tha bounty of bar married brother, and sister; a dependent upon soma distant relative where, in retarn for board and lodging aha sewed, mended, looked after tha children, helped in tha kitchen, and remained In charge of the house while tha family went on their anmmar tours. Bar pleaaurea vera oocasional lecture, tea drinking, tha sewing circle. Her ontalda interests were eonoeu-tratsd in tha missionary society and that portion of ohuroh which it waa then oon Ceded might be properly relegitod to women.

She dreasad in dull color and tha material called and if a poor little pnrpla flower bloomed on ber beat bonoet it waa looked at like a winter blossom which bad bndded ont of duo season. Ber life, whaterar vital experienoea it may haT bad, tha experienoea that most women treasure and dream over, lay behind ber. There waa nothing in tha future to anticipate but monotonous day, a succession of eeaoone, without eventu or possibilities, and which were frequently olouded by tha dread of helpless, poverty-atrioken old age. Victor Hugo ha said: The nineteenth century ia the woman' century and tha old maid, aa aha waa, haa vanished before ita effulgeuoe, like the dim ghost at cock-crow. la ber stead ha earns that cheering and inspiring product of a broader civilization whoa the newspaper graoef ully and oommendingly call tha "bachelor woman." 8he spends no hoar niching for the attainabledrooping with unrequited affeotion, and lamenting her shattered idols.

If ana has bad ber failures, ber eternals, her sorrows, they are locked in her own heart, and aha is contented with the good thing that hare oome to her ia compensation, aa they oome to all who deserve and striTe for them. Tha bachelor woman la not aggressively masculine, nor ia she the sentimental, clinging creature that ia usually meant when the term "womanly" ia Used. Ens is well bred, well trained, aud with brain and bands baa made ber way to success in tha calling aha baa chosen. The college and schools that hare opened their doors to her hare given her culture. Experience and capacity in business hare given ber self-reliance.

The blessed fact that her labor baa a marketable valua, that professional ad ran cement depends upon the manner in which aho playa the part assigned ber, inspire ner to make the moat of her talent and ber opportunities. Coogenialworc, a definite atm in life leare no room for impotent regrets: and hare kept ber temper sweet, her feeling tender, and ber sympathies alert; so that ahe has not lapsed into a state of mummification, aa her prototype waa apt to do thirty or forty years ago, She has friends among the young and old. Ber matured mind, her brightened faculties, her deference and consideratenes mike her a laronte with the one, aa her comradeship, ber cheerfulness and content make ber the confidant and adviser of the other. She ia not stowed away in a stuffy chamber, which ia too dark and olose for the children and too crimped and ababby for the guests. Hue has her own snu apartments, whers shs writes, or to which she return at nignt from ber desk or omr, filled with flower and books and pictures There she sits down in peica to rest with her treasures about her tha visible reward of her own energy and industry.

Bummer tours, trips to the aea-shore or the mountains, a foreign jaunt, good mneie and the lay occasionally, possibly a club these are er recreations, the sources from which she arawa that mental refreshment which keeps her at ner neat. She ia not extinguished under a cap at thirty, bnt dresses tastefully and well, appreciating what fashion haa dona within tha last two decades to efface the sharp dividing lines between youth and aerene middle ago. The bachelor woman almost invariably has some one dependent upon her the brother or ktster that ahe ia educating, parents whom aha ia maintaining in old ago; and this gives a aacred incentive to work aud ia an antidote to selfishness. Her day draw toward its nightfall, as an autumn sun sets across fallow fluids that are an assuranoe of rich harvests which have been oyiully harvested and garnered. Bactitnde of ife.

purity of thought, unselfishness, allegiance to duty in all that it exacts have constituted her moral code and have been her religion. There are thousands of such women in the United states to-diy. They crowd the school-room, the colleges, the professions they make a business of art and it certainly ia not from their lip that tha bitter querv comas: "Is life worth living?" and ail, they can answer: "Yen." Manx H. Kbout. WELL-BRED QIKLS.

The Hew lork Sun asks: Do you know many well-bred girls? Oh, they can always be told. A well-bred girl thanks the man who givaa bar a seat in a street oar. and doea it ia a quiet and not in an effusive way. She doesn't turn round to look after gamblers or posing actors on the street, and she doesn't think that her good looks are causing the man to stare at her. She doesn't wear all ber jewelry in the daytime, and she understands that diamond rings, irrings, and bracelets were intended for the evenings alone.

She doesn't go to supper after the theater ia over alone wita a the doea not declare that aha never ridee In street cars. bhe does not aoeept a valuable present from any man unless she expects to marry him, Bhe doesn't talk loud in public places. Bhe doesn't shove or push to get the best seat, and ahe doesn't wonder why in tha world people carry children in tha cars and why they permit them to cry. v- the doe not speak of her mother in a sarcastic way, and she show ber the loving defer enoe that ia ber due.

MORTON. Mr. Vorton'a residence ia Washington this wintsr looked forward to with interest A correspondent gives this pleasact sketch of her, which, while it ia complimentary, doea not flatter: Anna LfvinRston Morion waa born at Pongh. keepste, where 'her father, the late William J. ff- Practiced Uw or maoy yaatra.

At Albany ber node, B. Street, tha author of Froutenao" and other poems, nude his home WM carried to Mr. Morton at the Church of the Holy Communion, in New lork, in Febrnarv. 187a walkthrough tte order and system whicn prevails, would little suspect the thought and labor re. quired to organize its management Nor would such a visitor suspect that it waa tha sola work of the mistress, wno at tha same Urn, ihe care and aaueation of ber five daughters, rantrins? in i fmn a -i this connection it is recalled that for many years Mrs, Morton has beeu a great sufferer from neuralgia, it will be seen that she bvna means idle or self-indulgent, Mr.

Morton has pre-eminently the talent fov organisation. The domestic machinery moves without friction, for she inspire stroni attachment in her servants; fence, order and comfort rvail in every department Her hospitality TUB DAILY INTEH OCEA2T, SATTJIIDAY MOUSING, OYE3IBEII 2, 1889 SIXTEEN PAGES. la cordial and generous, bar doors are always open to her friends and relations, whom aha receives in a manner which prorea that tha welcome ia sincere. Both Mr. and Mrs.

Morton keep by no means what is called fashionable hours. hen alone they retire early and rise between 6 and 7. The children are trained in the good old rule, "Early to bed, early to rise," and love eimple outdoor country pleasures. At the table, where the children are alwava present, one never hears gossip, scandal, nor ill-natured criticisms upon dree or manners. Both mother and children set an example of simplicity In dress which well might be followed by people of more modest fortune and position.

But when the occasion demands it, few woman know belter than Mrs. Morton how to array herself in rare and exquisite costume; ber jewels are not whiter than her throat, and diamonds gleam in ber soft hair, prematurely blanched by many years of pain. During the years that Mr. Morton was in Congress few bouses in Washington were mors popular than bis. The hospitality of the old Hooper mansion waa historio long before Mr.

Morton's time, and had been a season the headquarters of General MeCiellau. It waa not only the rich and distinguished who felt anra of a gracious welcome from their hostess. Tha writer remembers noticing on one of the crowded weeklv reception daye two plain, elderly ladies whose well-worn, old-fashioned, though once handsome Eowns and wraps looked aa if their owners bad seen better days. Mrs. Morton did not know who they were, but, remarking that ahe bad notiosd them the week before, approaohed with her sweet amila and addressed mem.

iuey repnoa wiin vne weu-bred air of gentlewomen, giving their names, and said they had known the bouse in their vonth. and it waa a pleasure to them to see ber sustaining its reputation for hoaipitality, and hoped she did not mind their stopping to look on. "Quite the contrary." said, aba, I hope you win come every wee a. While in Paris Mrs. Morton was one evening seated at dinner by the aide of Jt Jules Ferry.

then the French premier, who rallied her upon the action of our Congress in imposing dnties upon foreign works of art "I grant all yon say," said aha. "but let us make a treaty you admit our pork and we wiU admit your picture. fio one questions Mrs. Morton's coming successes. If she truly wish for a brilliant winter socially, aha may win her way toward it with as muoa case as grace.

i NATALIE. The Washington Post pertinently observes "There is more genuine satisfaction in being an uncrowned queen than a reigning Czar. Ex- Queen Natalie, ia spite of orders, visited her son at Belgrade. Bhe waa not officially recognised, bnt the people, who are the power, gava ber a splendid welcome, and' recognized ber claims moot loyally. When the Czar pays a visit in nis Kingdom be sends disguised courier ahead, travel in Bomb-proof car, wear bullet-proof waistcoats, has an expert to detect poison in hi food, and surrounds himself with an armed guard every time be appears before ma.aoroiea suDjoct.

CO-EDUCATION. Discussions on co-education are by no means confined to the university authorities. Several communications, too, have appeared in the Penntylvian, soma for it, but mora against it Ona who favors co-education says: "The recent action of the college faculty Is a most satisfactory rebuttal to the old-fogy theories so long prevalent in many institutions, Philadelphia haa had at last an opportunity to see how we stand upon the question of co-education, and the great interest manifested by the press is an svidenoe of the manner in which the newspapers regard tha subject I take It for granted that there ia not a man in tha university who doe not secretly in his heart-recognize woman' equality with himself in purely intellectual mat ters if she had bad his advantage. By the endowment of the old Charity (school it wis uecmea mat tne money anouid be uaed ror the education of both sexes The university, incorporating the Charity School, is thus bound. in a certain sons-, to oney tne statid terms of the endowment." Another favorable to tha plan writes: "It is realiy too bad that certain of our timid undergraduates should be compelled to snbimt to an invasion from the fair aex in that stronghold where they felt themselves most secure our university.

The progresa of eo-ednoiuon baa been closely observed in a number of our foremost colleges and universities In the North aud West, and it ia only upon tne uniform success of such experiments, as tested and approved elsewnere, that our own college faculty have fiually decided to adopt co-education. I suspect, nowever. that a large part of thia outcry has been raised merely for lorra's sake, and that most of us are secretly rejoioed at the prospect of having tha girla with us." Bays another: aa a student of over three veara' standing, wish to subscribe mvself as very strongly opposed to it. and, furthermore, I feel confident that I express at the same time the sentiment of a very large body of the students. Besides the enormous expense which would of necessity be entailed in erecting tha new buildings or in providing in some way extra recitation and reception-rooms, it seems to me that the trustees can not in tneir nirht minds adopt a policy which is so greatly experimental in its nature.

If women are desirous of pursuing higher education let them have re course to toe colleges especially providod for them. They are not overcrowded as yet, and when they become so then it will be time to talk of a change of policy. I most aiucarely trust, therefore, that a proper conservatism and sound judgment will prevail over theee premature co-educationists, and Uui tha Board of Trustees will reject, by an overwhelming ma jority, wis moat unwelcome proposition" KEEPING PACK WITH THE JUNIORS. Women, aaya a writer in Harper' Bazar, are very apt to feel, as they leave the bloom and beamy of youth behind them, that their oppor tunity for personal charm ia gone, and they sometimes take to themselves great oredit for the mistaken virtue which leads to a mother's effacing herself altogether in tha presence of ber daughters, or to a maiden aunt's quietly taking the second place when her gay young nieces begin to shine in society. The world is for the young," cry these too willing martyrs, resigning themselves to a shawl aud a Boat in the corner, and tha tacit assumption that their day is over.

At Anbury Park tbia aummer, in a brilliant group of loiterers gathered from -the pine land and tha palm belt to breathe the aweet salt air of the tea, thora waa a woman well' into ber sixties who took her share in whatever w.s planned precisely on the footing of and wittt girl who might easily have been b.r granddaughters. One rainy evening a programme was hurriedly arranged a recitation from thi college lad, a song from the other, a violin solo from the young man with music iu his aoul and at hia timers' ends, a aolo on the bauio from his sister: and on whem for fine rendering on tne piano or Chopin and Bach did the company depeud exoept on this elderlv gentlewomen with the soft eyea and ailver hair? "Havo you always kept up vour practice?" was asked by a wondering auditor. "ies," the reply. 1 could not let myself be outstripped by my junior From a remote bamlet in West Vireinf a there came the other day a letter with the pathetio declaration that the writer had grown "wan and thin aud shadowy as thin aa a bedpost, to borrow a simile from Dickens but," sus proceeded, 'I 'read BrowniDgin the intervals of butter-making and bread-kneading, teach the children Latin and the cements of English, bear their Bunday-achool lessons, and though we live on tb edse of a forest, and have no neighbors bnt the birds, we contrive to keep iu touch with the xreat world outside." It waa keeping pace with the juniors. To settle down into a lack of Interest In the march of events la inevitably to fail out of the line, and to let the juniors surpass the unfortunate man or woman wne no longer cares for hia period.

"To serve tb present age," says a familiar hymn, ia the duty of evory oue, whether older or younger is immaterial. Bo long as we live we are of importance to T-aelvea, and when wa cease to regard ourselves as important cur junior will aoeept our valuation, "I live all alone with my cat and mr maid." i i i "i v. wi Drigui-ejcu out. uay one aay; DUl 1 dress for dinner every dsy, sod I s'lt and eat through all the courses a if I were at the head of the clan. I won't let myself be ill-served bs-eause -there ia nobody alaa to serve." Itia needless to remark that aha is keeping step with ber juniors.

Miss Octavia Hill, who established tha order of lady rent collectors, and who baa done so much to improve the condition of tha London poor, is quite an old lady now, but she still takes a lively Interest ia every philautaropio work.

Mrs, Bomerville and Caroline Herachel reached the agea of 02 and 88 respectively. Mrs. Barbauld and Miss Edge-worth died at 8 Miss Harriet Lee attained 93 and Miss Marcet 8a Jane Porter died at 74. Hannah More at 88.

Miea Mitford at 60, and Mrs. Badoliffa at 59. Tha average longevity of the ten women named was nearly .83 years. Miss Harriett P. Curtis, whese death haa just occurred at Needham, wa ona of tha most notable of that little band of working-women "whose writings filled the pages or the Lowell Offering, that unique New England magazine, whose contributors wars factory girla actively engaged in the cotton mills.

Bhe wrote a great many stones and sketches for the Offering, afterward published in book form, aud was a contributor to N. P. Willis Horn Journal under the pseudonym of Mina Myrtle. Her published works are, some of tbem, now on Harper's catalogue.

Miss Curtis' literary career ended many ears ago, duty to an invalid mother obliging ber to return to ber native town and become the mainstay of the familv. But bar mind remained active, and in ber later years aha wrote intelligently on questions that women are not supposed to understand. She waa a reformer by nature, and long before the woman's righta question wss agitate! believed tuny in tne equality ot the sexes. COMPLICATIONS. fbe.

Tske the ease of Samuel Adams. He studied for the ministry, wss a merchant and became tbe ablest writer of his time oa public questions. The word "farmer" is used in several places where landed proprietor or planter wonld be more fit One case, a Signer Roger Sherman, of Connecticut was a shoemaker until he was 21 years old, and then forsook the bench for the bar. It is difficult to determine just what profession to honor with the Dime ot Richard Henry Lee. Charles Carroll, of Carrollton, considered the wealthiest man in tbe colonies, wss a lawyer by profession.

In regard to the nativities of the Signer it will be understood that while many were natives ot Amerisa, their fathers were ot European birth. For example, WilUam Hooper, of North Carolina, was born in Boston, and bis father waa a Scotchman, and the father of George Read was sn Irishman, ho tar aa pocsibls the biographies have been carefully consulted, and the table given I believed to be substantially accurate. TAPOI.E0!f AT MOSCOW. Gcmraa. Ascension Psrisa.Le.

Win Our Curiosity bhop tell ns about Uie battle of Moscow! Cnaai.ss litmia. Answer. The story ot th French advance on. occupation of. and retreat from Moscow is one of the most awfully tragical ot all th campaign ot Napoleon.

Th alliance between Russia and Franc had been set aside by Napoleou'a Austrian marriage and the annexation cf Oldenburg, as well as by the II -concealed purpose of the French soldier to in som way ai i the Pole. Napoleon became satisfied that until he had humbled Russia, tha French fabrio he had mad was unsafe. Enrope waited for the action from 1809 until it came In 1811. Prussia waa in tbe path of the combatants, and aided with France. In May, 1813, Napoleon had completed his preparation and had collected about 400,009 men in Eastern Germany.

Russian Poland was invaded, then th French entered Russia proper. The trials of the troops were indescribable: the roads bad. th health of the soldiers suffered from the extreme ot th weather, and the people were hostile to a decree. Napoleon's plan was to make short work of th Russians, bnt th Czar armies fell back, and the Fabian policy ot the Russian battalions wa so successful that ths invaders lost nearly 100,000 men before they reached Smolensk. The Russians engaged in aa obstinate and desultory contest wearing out th French.

The Russisns fired Smolensk and th next day disappeared from the Aeld, Thia waa a kind of that was entirely new to Napoleon, but he wa anxious to move on Moscow. Th French leader believed that if he could only see are Moscow th Cur wonld ready to consider terms. The genius of th Bussiaa army had bee Barclay Tolly, a Livonlan. wno was now displaced. he was a foreigner, by Kutu-sow.

JtBvMan, wba wss willing to gratify th genera, emsad for pitched bsttle. On Sept. a battle took place at Borodino; th losses on both sides were eeormous and nearly equal, and th Raman retreated. Napoleon had accomplished nothing excepting that tbe road was open to Moscow. On Sept 14 he entered Moscow, only to diacover thsl it had been deserted by all the native Inhabitants, and that oa the dsy following it wss Bred tn a number of places.

About three-fourths of tbe city were destroyed. Napoleon remained in what wa left of Moscow for five weeks, and then wa compelled to issu th order to retreat On Oct 34, live days after the order wss give to retire, the French were confronted at Jaroslsvata with a Russian army, where battle waa fought resulting in a French victory such a victory a repetition of which would have beeu French annihilation.
