VINO Is TO BLAME FOR TIE INCREASE OF
Bachelors A correspondent of the New
York Evening Post, in answering this
inquiry, thus speaks timely word for the
women. He Indignantly says:
Is the blame for the extravaganza in
living all to be laid upon the women Of
this country! Certainly not. We speak
ofthe extravaganza of the female portion Of
the community in carpets, pianos, dc, but
do not mention Fifth Avenue palaces, costly
horses and vehicles, and splendid churches
Certainly the women are not to blame for
these. Look at the expenses of our Young
men in fashionable dress, brandy, mint
juleps, oyster suppers, Spanish cigars. !
think if the account were balanced, it is
doubtful which side would prepondcrate !
apprehend that the fault in extravagant
living pervades the whole community, both
sexes being equally to blame. Even our
funerals here become SO costly that one can
hardly afford TO die. You may be sure
that our young women are as careful about
entering into matrimony with the other
sex, and quite as unwilling to make them
selves wrctched by marrying thriftless and
dissipated Young men.

WHAT WILL MRS GRUMPY SAY ?

NEARLY one half the world is ever
revolving the question-as to what the
other haIfwill think and say of contemplated
actions. In all things this must be answered
before decisive steps gre taken. All such
are miserable serfs-bond slaves to the
opinions of others. They have 10. self
government rule-thcy are destitute Of the
freedom Of opinion. The ubiquitous and
busy Mrs. Grundy, is their model and their
mortal fear, who shapes their household
their feasts, their garments, their sociability,
their morals, their religion, their all Poor
string-halted souls. there is wheeze of
apprehension in every breath they draw.
They are living examples of the science q
nose-leading!
If half the world are not so led, society
at least furnishes an abundance Of such
slaves. They are wonderfully plenty
plenty as blackberries. What will Mrs
Grundy say!" drives them in flocks. To be
found standing alone in some independent
position subjects the individual to terrible
fear and torment. 1t is something of a
social perdition from which the poor
unhappy mortal is ever struggling to escape
They seem to have lost all thought OF
personal independence. Mrs. Grundy'>
views determine their action upon all sub
jects. To the bats with Mrs. Grundy and
all the little Grundes.-Let us have more
personal independence, and less bowling,
scraping, criuging and fawning to the
heavy yoke imposed upon us by tie worlds
opinion.-Spirit Of the dye.

FASHIONABLE WOMEN

Fashion kills more women than toll OF
sorrow. Obedience to fashion is a greater
transgressiOn of the laws of woman nature,
a greater injury to her ply steal and mental
constitution, than the hardships of poverty
and neglect. The slave woman a her tas k
will live and grow old, and see two or three
generations of her mistress pass away.
The washerwoman, with scarcely a raw
of hope to cheer her in her tolls, will live
tn see her fashionable sisters all die around
her, and the kitchen maid is hearty and
strong when her lady has 20 be nursed like
sick child. 1t is sad truth that fashion
pampered women are almost worthless fo1
all the great ends of human life Thew
have but little force of character they have
still less power of moral will, and quite as
little physical energy. They live for no
purpose they accomplish no worthy end ;
they are only doll forms, in the hands OF
milliners and servants, to be dressed and
fed to order. They dress nobody. and save
nobody. They write no books they set
no rich examples of virtue and womaplv
life. If they rear children, servants and
nurses do it all, save to conceive and give
them birth. And, when reared, what are
they? What do they amount to, but
weaker scions of the old stock Who ever
heard of a fashionable woman EXHIBITING
any power of mind for which she became
eminent! Read the biographies of great
men and women. who had about as little to
do with fashions as with the changing
clouds.

SALT AND ITs PRopERT1Es.-The August
number of De Bow, contains an able and
very interesting article on the subject of
salt, its manufacture, properties, uses and
varieties, from the pen of William c. Dinnis,
Esq, of Florida. The principal object pro-
posed by Mr.. Dennis 10 show the cause of
the failure of the salt generally used in
preserving meats to perform that office, and
point out the method of remedying the
evil. No one who has the slightest acqua.
intance with the immense less occasioned
every year in this country by the spelling
of butter, fish and cured meat, particularly
bacon, will be disposed to undervalue any
effort to analyze the reason Of the fact and
designate the method of prevention. The
cause Of the evil Mr.. Dennis finds in the
imperfect crystalization of all salt made by
boiling, in which is included the Liverpool
salt, the variety most used in this country.
The substitution of salt produced by eva
poration, process, the slowness of which
insures the perfection Of that chemical pro-
cess where final result is complete crystal
ization, is the propored remedy.

M'ckto the Farm.-Are pale faces, white
hands, decayed teeth, and bad health, more
genteel than robust frames, good appetite,
sound sleep and independent circumstances
We think not, and for the same reason we
judge that farming is not beneath any pur-
suit what ever, in all that makes men virlu-
Gus, useful, and happy; and it is surely to
be regretted that nearly all our young men
should perfer mercantile life or profess
sion, the tilling or the ground at their own
quiet homes. Not only is it TO be lamenteo
on account OF the welfare of the young men
themselves, but also in reference to the
prosperity of the country, for it is truth
that cannot be contradicted, that the best
interests of the inhabitants of any country,
are intimately connected with the prosper
Gus condition ofits agriculture. Exchange.

What Newspaper Does for Nothing.

The following article should be read and
pondered well by every man who takes a
newspaper without paying for it:
1.-THE result Of my observation enables me
to state as fact, that the publishers Of
newspapers are more poorly rewarded than
any class of men in the United States, who
invest an equal amount of labor, capital and
thought. They are expected to do more
service for less pay, to stand more sponging
and dead heading to puff and defend more
without fee or hope of reward, than any
other class. s
Their credit wider and longer, gets often
er cheated; suffer more pecuniary loss; are
oftener the victims of misplaced confidence,
than in any other calling in the community.
People pay the printers bill more reluctant
ly than any other. 1t goes harder with
them TO expend dollar on valuable news
paper than ten on needless gewgaw, yet,
everybody avails himself Of the use of the
editors pen and the printers ink.
How many profession al and political rep
utations and fortunes have been made and
sustained by the friendly, though unrequited
pen OF the editor? How many embryo towns
and cities have been brought into notice, and
pulled into prosperity by the press? How
many railroads, now in successful opera
ton, would have foundered but for the as
sistance Of the lever that moves the world;'
in short, what branch of industry or activity
has not been promoted, stimulated and de-
Tended by the press? G
And who has rendered it more for mis-
cradle pittance for his mighty services?-
The bazaars Of fashion and the haunts of
appetite and dissipation, are thronged with
an eager crowd, bearing gold in their palms,
and the commodities there needed are sold
at enormous profits, though intrinsically
worthless, and paid for with scurpulous
punctuality; while the counting room Of the
newspaper is the seat of jewing, cheapening
trade, orders and pennies. 1t is made point
of honor to liquidate grog bill but dishon-
or to repudiate printers BILL"

The Panic in Havana,

The origin of the financial panic is ex-
planned to have proceeded from this simple
cause: ID. r. .....
A rich banker was indebted to poor
painter in the sum Of 81 900 for work.
Payment was postponed good many times,
and the debtor was then summond before
an alcalde. The alcalde was at the head of
rival bank, and his citations (three sum
monses being issued were not noticed by
the defendant. The latter was eventually
hned SO for contempt, and replied by call.
ing upon the alcalde's bank-Cuja CONNER
cia!--for $4,000. The draft was not paid,
1t being alleged that the defendant had moi
eny such sums in the Golfers of the Cuia
Commercial. The fact having been reported
abroad, the people got alarmed, when gen.
eral run on all the city banks ensued.
