F Fashionable society generally has but
two faults first, in being hollow-headed
and secondly, hollow-heartcd.
And sometimes a hollow purscd too, broth

they think.
4 An adage has it that, promises wero
made to be broken. Sancho Panza could not
say, !" blessed be the man that invented
thistle! IF you promise, let no one suffer by
believing you.
Benefits and blessings are written on
the sea washed sand and the first waves Of
the daily tide oblitcrate them while wrongs
and personal detractions are cngrayen IN
solid rocks and live beyond the grave.

~ The TRuE Delta takes the
following extract from the New York
Tribune, and endorses it.
Titles in this country are 50 hugely
multiplied that they have become an
outrageous bore. They take up SO
much space in the newspapers, that,
by common consent, they ought to be
thrown aside, by sensible people ut
least. These titles are so diffused ~
not to be any distinction. No man
with any regard for his character
would ask to be called Honorable,
considering that every actual, or ex-
congressman, Legislature, Judge, Co
vernon, Secretary, or what not, has
the privilege Of hi,ching that precious
adjective to his cognomen. AS for
military titles, they have long since
fallen beneath respect, for they are no
mark Of military rank or skill, being
given to Governors aids as we'll as
citizen soldiers.
The confusion that would follow
the simultaneous abandonment" Of
titles" cannot at d single glance be
conceived and therefore we object
to any Of the various cognomehs ap.
Piled to great men, being taken from
them. There are many who are known
only by title and even this is not
foud sufficient to distinguish them in
a Legislative body Of 800. lis not only
necessary to say in speaking Of great
men tae Hon. Mr.. Joel J. Jones: but
it is found important to add, of the
Parish Of ..Calcasiew or "Cotahou.
Ia, as the case may be. The business
of the Lower Branch Of the Legis-
lature. = could never be done without
this resort unless the Hon. members
were numbered and their desks marked
as in other public institutions.
This plan has many supporters and
The work would be more expeditions
" done, if it were resorted to. The
only place that members names
should appear, is on the title page Of
the volume Of acts as jointly interested
in the honors tLereof.---The buncom
speechest that go into seperate volume,
should be thrown out as mere shayings
Of a carpenter shop.
With such an arrangement. we could
at once dispense with the nonsenseic-
al phrase Of Honorable gentleman
applied unfortunately to any knave
and ass. But the titles Of Military
rank should never BE- dispensed with
because the more Generals Winfield
Jones and Genls' George Washington
Dixon's we have; the more cloth there
is to make Presidents fer the Republic
out Of.
We hope that both the Tribune and
The True Delta will abandon the idea
ofabolishingtiles, which We shalloppose
with all our might and main; because
We have made several generals at this
office and it is matter Of pride with
"a that thew retain their commissions
