drifting up and down the Delaware. ln-doors the
temperature is kept too high with stoves and heaters
while outside, the weather is like Greenland or
rather has been, for to-day it is moderated There
can be no doubt but that the people Of the Northern
Cities njure themselves very much by having thelr
rooms SO hot and close. Going from the Sharp
frosty air outside into the close heated atmosphere
in any of the Departments at Washington always
made my head swim--and the same effect was pro-
duced by the opposite transition on coming out
I have half notion that this letter will not get
home much before I do myself; but that will make
little difference. It may be all for the best, so
can have a chance to read the proof where the
writing is so bad. At any rate, it must take us

Be CoMpREHENsIvE.-Ta to the point and stop
when you have reached it. The faculty that some
possess, of making one idea cover qure Of paper,
is not good for much. Be short and comprehensive
in all you say or write. To fill volume upon no
thing is no credit to anybody though Lord Chester
field wrote very clear poem upon nothing. There
are men who get one idea into their heads, and but
one, and they make the most of it. You see and
almost feel it when in their presence. On all occa
slons 1T is produced, till it is as thin as char-
ty. They remind me OF a twenty-four FOUNDER dis
charging at a humming bird. You hear trenien-
dous noise-see volume of flame, but you look In
vain for the effects. The bird is scattered to atoms.

Paris correspondent Of the Washington Repub-
lie gives the following particulars of the sardine
fishery:
How many sardines do you suppose have been
taken this year upon the coast Of Brittany two hun
dred miles long, Five hundred and seventy six
millions. Half of them to be preserved and sold
fresh and half are to be put down in OIL One hun
dred and sixty vessels, manned by FIVE thousand five
hundred sailors and fishermen, are engaged in the
trade. The preparation, transport and sale of the
fish, employ ten thousand persons. Nine thousand
of these occupied all winter in the making and
mending of nets.
1.-THE fishing lasts two hundred days, and yields a
net profit to all concerned of three millions of francs
The sardines disappear in November and return in
April. Where they go during these four months
why they go, or what they do while gone has never
been discovered. The fishermen say that the same
individuals never come twce-and that every sue
cessive arrival is composed of fish much smaller than
those that left, and that they appear to be their
young. AT any rate they count implicitly on their
appearance; and no sardine was ever yet known to
break an engagement thus tacitly entered inton

Communicable Sheriff Of this county showed

we'll calculated to deceive careless observer, and
from the fact that they appear to be old and consd
erably worn. Some of them made payable at
MorgantOn, and others at Charlotte. The signatures
and filing up of all of them very perfect, but APP
pear to have been engraved, except the dates and
numbers, some of which written in blue ink q
certain proof that they counterfeit we are in
formed that the bank uses blue ink in dating
the genuine. The paper upon which these counter
feits executed is pale and thick and the
engraving, generally, is coarse and irregular The
shading of these letters is dark: coarse and heavy
P. S.-Just as we were concluding the above de-
scription were shown another counterfeit of the
same denomination. on the same Bank, new, and
bad in every particular Our community is full of all
Sorts sizes and shades Our sheriff declares that he
never will receive another four dollar bill on the

Females are called the weaker SEX but why If
they are not strong, who is -? When men must wrap
themselves in thick garments, and encase the whole
IN stout OvercOat to shut out the cold, women, in
thin silk dresses, with neck and shoulders bare or
nearly so, say they are perfectly comfortable When
men wear waterproof boots over wooden hose, and
encase the whole in india rubber to keep them from
freezing, women thin silk hose and cloth shoes
and pretend not to feel the cold. When men cover
their heads with urs, and then complain of the Sc
verify of the weather, half cover their heads
with straw bonnets and ride twenty miles in an open
sleigh, facing cold Northwestern, and pretend not
to suffer at ALL
They can sit, to- by men who stink of rum and
tobacco smoke enough to poison whole house. and
not appear more annoyed than though they were a
bundle of roses
Year after year they can bear abuse of all sorts
from their drunken husbands, as tho their strength
was made Of iron.
And then, is not woman's mental strength greater
than man's1 Can she not endure suffering that
would bow the stoutest man to earth Call not a
woman the weaker vessel; for, had she not been
stronger than man, the race would long since have
been extinct. Hers is state of endurance which
man could not bear.
Man labors ten or twelve hours per day and then
his work IS done both body and mind can rest but
womans work is never done-she is never idle
From early dawn her hands are busy, at noon she
is not idle and at night her task is not accomplish
ed. When all else has been accomplished sewing or
knitting fills up her spare moments till the hour ofre-
tirement arrives, and even then, when her lord and
master is snoozing it, unconscious as a sleeping
clamb: she must take care of the child, and perhaps
be aroused from her ftful slumhers ten times each
night.
