A Sensible Girl.

A st. Louis paper is responsible for the
following;--
"Maria Perkins was arrested 10 this city
on the 7th ult., dressed in meas apparel.
She stated that she was led to this cnurse
by disgust Of the present style Of female
dress, and astonished the court with an
inventory of the number of skirts, &c.,
&c, which a fashionable woman of the
present day is obliged to wear all at once
in order to be satisfied that she sticks out
enough. AgreeabIy to her statement. a
lady's dress is not considered complete
until she has slowed about her 10 various
directions, and for different purposes, no
less than twenty,seven articles Of cloth.
ing!"
We are not informed what action the
court took upon the case, but, doubtless
so far from being reprimanded, Maria was
applauded for her independence and good
sense. Twenty seven articles" We be.
gin to appreciate now the wisdom of the
old Greek Philosopher, who said he was
thankful TO the Gods for three things; first
"that he was a human being and not a
brute:" secondly, "hat he was Greek
and not barbaran;" and thirdly, "lha,
he Das man and mol a ,oomaA!" "Twenty

year in Morgan county, over that Of 1914,
under the old law, is FIVE hundred and sir-

would no doubt demonstrate the fact that
the additional cost Of assessing personal
property alone, in this county, would not
be far from one thousdnd dollars. Besides

Effect Of Imagination.

Many pears ago, celebrated physician,
author Of an excellent work on the effects
of Imagination, wished to combine theory
with practice, IN order to confirm the
trnth of his propositions. To this end, he
begged the Minister of Justice to allow
him to try an experiment on criminal
condemned TO death. The minister con,
sented, and delivered to him an assassin
of distinguished rank. Our sauaai sought
the prit, aud thus id ressed him:-" Sir,
several persons who are interested in your
family, have prevailed on judge not TO re
quire of you TO mount the scafrold aud ex
pose yourself to the gaze of the populace.
He has, therefore, commuted your sen
tence, and sanctions your being bed to
death within the precincts of your prison;
your dissolution will be gradual, and free
from pain"
The criminal submitted to his fate:
thought his family would be less disgraced
and considered it favor not to be com.
pelied TO walk to the place Of public exc
Cution. lie was conducted to the appoint
ed room, where every preparation was
made beforehand; his eyes were bandsg ed;
he was strapped to table; and, at pre-
gently pricked with the point Of pen.
AT each corner Of The table was small
fountain Of water, so contrived as TO flow
gently into basins placed 10 received it.
The patient believing that il as his blood
he heard fl,wing, gradually became weak /;
and the conversation of the doctors in an
undertone, confirmed him 10 this opinion.
"Whai fine bIooo!" said one. ''What a
pity this man should be condemned to d ie!
he would have lived long time"
'sliush!" said the other: then approach
ing the irst, he asked him 10 a low voice,
but SO as to be heard by the criminal,
"How many pounds of blood are there 10
the human boIy?"
Twenty. four. You see already about
ten pounds extract ed; that man is now in
a hopeless state"
Tie PLY hlsicians then receded BY degrees,
and continued 10 lower their voices. The
stiffness which reigned in The apartment,
broken only by the dripping fountains, the
sound of which was also gradually lessened, i,
so affected the brain of the puor patient,
that although man Of very strong consti-
tuition, he tainted, aud died without having
lost drop of blood.

The wings (says the Cleveland Plain

Tod would not leave his coal banks and

But Dave like Lucy Long, chooses to

the stump after harvest, if we can believe

We are indebted 10 the New Orleans
Tropic for the following scene in Gen. w
---'s tent, at Matalnofas:
"A very warm day made the almost con-
stant Gulf breeze particularly refreshing;
one or two field officers had met Ia Gen
w. tent, to speculate upon what
would be done next in the Mexican war.
While thus engaged lin conversation, a
Mexican lady. plainly but tast efully dress.
ed, suddenly interrupted the group, follows
ed by an attendant, and nurse bearing a
child of an exceeJingly blonde appearance.
The officers rose instantly aud offered her
chair; her companion placed herself in
the rear, and the nurse kept herself outside
to amose the favorite. The lady spoke elo.
quently and dunderstandlngIy with her eyes
81 came for some information Of much
Importance to myself, '--her tongue spoke
il il Spanish, and although il was as must
cal as falling water, ii was as indefinite in
particular meaning to the ears that heard
il. An interpreter was instantly sent for
and soon made his appearance, when the
following conversation ensued.
"Lady-'My name is Signora Soledad
Ortega, and came to enquire for my hus-
band. who is an American; he left Just be
fore the battles, for Corpus Christi, aud
has not yet returned
''GeneraI--'llow long since you saw
him!'
! "Lady--.Three months. 1t 10 three
/ years sincewa were marrieds and am
ignorant ofwhat keeps him away
"General--'He is detained, probably
on important business. and l trust will
soon return; perhaps ] may, by hearing his
name, recognise an acqnaintance.'
"Lady--s His name is Don Smith,
"A tall, raw boned Yankee rose up in
our Imagination, who had the enterprise
to go to Mexico to make a fortune, get a
rich wife and improve the country, but
the particular Yankee was not suggested.
Gen. w W----- replied that lie " as not per.
sonaliy acquainted with the ladys hus
band, and expressed sincere wish that he
would soon return; the conversation ther
became desnltory, and the lady showed she
was truly American in heart, as well a,
! her husband. She stated with earnes
simplicity Of manner, that throughout the
bombardment of Matamoras she was Ger.
tain her house would not be struck by the
cannon balls, because she was herself
Americana, and because of her child; she
said, while the dark Casiilian blood rush
ed 10 her cheeks, that when she heard the
firing on the battle field, she prayed to the
Saints that her husband was in the battle
fighting. The lady then desoanted upon
the cheap goods the American were sell-
ing in Matamoras, and said it was a good
thing that such was the case; the nurse
then brought forward the favorite, whose
name the lady in the sweetest tones Of the
| Spanish voice, proclaimed to be Felipe
Ortega Smeith, and then rising, she adj
jnsled most gracefully her beautiful reboxa
and bade the party adios, and disappeared.
