AMERICAN LADIES Willis vs. Greeley
editor of The Tribune, Mr.. Greeley, recently
published an article Of some length, in the course
of which the writer speaks as follows in relation
to the American ladies, giving no assistance to
nature. Weqnote lie paragraph entire:
Another feature in American society is the
absence Of all deceit. Nobody wears false jew
elry. and no woman paints her face. An Amer
can lady would regard it as an act Of positive
dishonesty il by such jngglery she endeav"red
Ia ppear otherwise than as God made her. En-

To all this. Willis, in the Home Journal gives
answer as follows: s,r.as
On this point, we should have preferred some
statistic. showing The actual sale of aids To com

Towns on the Rio Grande are sprincing up
At different points with wonderful rapidity
Within the last few months several have sprung
into existence. Edinbnrough and New st. l.nu-

mer ahont one mile. and The latter four miles
below Reynuso. Brownsville, situated opposite
Maiamoros, has rivaled in its rapid prosperity
every other town in Texas. Although but two
years old. II contains population OF 1000 in.

will soon be a large and populous city. The
amount Of business transacted at Brownsville
is immense; far exceeding any calculation based
upon the population. By estimation. it is com
puied thai $4,000 600 worth OF goods have been
rpceived there during the last year So great
has been the increase of trade between Browns
vile and the interior of Mexico. that the two

which .he first year were rented for less than

Brownsville by land from ten to twelve thousand
barrels per month The fact is that much OF
the trade of Tampico and Vera Cruz now pass
es through this channel. Brownsville is now
the great gateway of entrance into Mexico, and
is taking the business almost entirely away from
Matam0rns. Its situation combines beauty of
scenery as well as natural advantages The
vicinity has becume halowed by interesting
scenes during The late war. This portion of the
Rio tiraude valley is associated with scenes Of
I thrilling interest. Here our army first met the
Mexican foe. and on the plains of Palo Alto and

of civilized warfare. Although those scenes of
blood and carnage are passed by, no one looks
upon Those interesting battle-feds without feel

work its changes. long will 1t be ere those sa-

From the Flag Of the Union.
Freedoms Banner.
RYM 7. cARpENrER.

By NJ. 7. CARPENTER.
Hold: men Of wrath. What, would We tear,
That sacred banner from on high;
Beneath whose folds our fathers swore,
To proudly live or nobly die?
That emblem of the irving times,
When Freedom struggled for her breath;
Of triumphs over tyrants won, a
Through scenes of tumult, toll and death.
In days of old, it waved in pride,
And as each glorious stripe md star,
Symbols of sister States allied.)
Appeared above the smoke of war;
What thrilling joys ran through each breast,
Nerving each heart and stalwart hand,
To dare the conflict, and to drive
Oppressi,n n from their native land.
1t gave new vigor to the weak,
And courage to the coward gave,
Inspired despairing ones with hope,
And fired the spirits of the brave:
Twas hailed with an exulting pride,
By oil who worshirped freedom dear;
BY despots as an omen dread,
Which chilled their very hearts with fear.
For half a century and more,
Has that ia r banner waved on high,
A hope to hearts of every cline,
Which eer for freedom breathed a sigh;
And as the years have rolled away,
Star after star, sereuely bright,
Have Joined the glorious thirteen, which
lllumined first the world with light.
And see! within an azure field,
Undimmed in lustre, still they wave,
Full one and thirty glorious stars,
Above the homes of freemeR brave;
And would We now, with Vandal hands,
Pull down that emblem of our fame;
And in your consciences and souls,
Feel no remorse-no sting of shame!
No! no. it has not come TO this
Notyet forgotten in the past,
The burning words our grandSires spoke,
are echoing still on every blast;
And should some sacrilegious hand,
Attempt TO rend that banner fair,
Indignant bursts at once would rise,
And cries Of vengeance shake the air.
And even those who now would fan,
The spark of discord into flame,
Would, startled by their own wild deeds,
Strike for their fathers ancient fame;
For virtue. order, freedom, still
Their empire DER our country hold,
And yet would neve each patriot heart,
As in tte trying days Of old.
