The Wonderful Girl. Those who have begun to fear that the "wonderful girl" would not put in her annual appearance this season can take heart of grace. She has been heard from, not in the West, as usual, but in Maine. She is but 15 years of age. Two years ago she surprised her father by cutting an incredibly large quantity of wood in an incredibly short space of time; but her achievements the present summer have outdone all former ones. Being at work on a farm in the village where the Honorable Hannibal Hamlin formerly resided, this 15 year-old maiden went out after supper a few evenings since, put up forty five bundles of hay and milked twenty three cows before sunset. The next day, after washing the dinner dishes and putting the house to rights, she went into the field, loaded three bails of hay, stowed them away in the barn and then stowed away a fourth load, which somebody else loaded. Then she prepared supper for a family of four, served it, washed up the dishes; walked two miles to get a pair of shoes and got back before dark. In one way, of course, this energetic damsel deserves the admiration of her sex for destroying the theory that woman is "a poor, weak critter," and creating a demand at the East for the helpful wives who are, as the census reports persist in saying, so much in excess there. But, in another way, she is doing an incalculable injury to her sex, inasmuch as her example will be held up as a perpetual taunt to the overworked wives and mothers of the land. - Detroit Free Press
