WY There are More pious Wo-
man than Zen,

Ihe reason there are more pious
women than men Is NOT because wo-
men are weaker or their passions le.s
powerful, but because n feeling OF
dependence is native in the female
heart Ii Is because the pride OF ia
dependence has little or no place
there. 1t is because the female mind
has to undergo comparatively d
small revolution TO become religious.
One powerful barrier that stands be
fore the path oI every man in his ap-
proach to the valley of humiliation
does not oppose the passage of the
true woman. 1t is very rare that
those who are denominsted strong
minded women" become religious
The pride of personal independence
prevents this.

The Eooped Ski.t ard Rapt;su.

At Chicago las: week a rather anu
,ing scene took place during the bap-
tism OF = young lady by TIE pastor Of
the Tabernacle. The Uaioa says:
The minister requested her ,n as-
-une the dress peculiar to such occa-
,ion-, but she declined to take of her
hoopcd skirt; the minister told her OF
the Inconvenience that woald result
from her ob-'inscv. but like a true fe.
male she persisted; but when she came
,o descend into the bath the inflated
skirt touched the water and rose up
around her like a balloon. Her head
was l"st to the congregatirn; she was
swallowed up in the swelling skirt.
The minister tried to force her down
into the bath, but she was kept above
the surface by the floating properties
of crinoline, and wa hnoved up 40
successfully that 1t was not until after
much diff :ulty. and many forcible at
tenpts to sub merge he lady, that the
minister succeeded in ba,'izing 'he
fair one. Finally il was effected TO
the relief of the minister and the SER
ouslv inclined audience, who c,uli

vilcs attention to the communication,
of "FlrLDsroS,' which have appeared
in that paper, as presenting the claims
OF this road with great ability anc
force, AMI upon basis which conclu.
-ivrly argues success. In advocating
this enterprise we have not only the
endorsement of those who differ with
us upon political topics, but we have
the light of experience 10 guide our
way.
The Policy ofGreat Britain, by gen
erosiIy OF grants Of land and money,
established corporation known aS
the East India Company; each stock
holder of which has for long time
been at the head Of the "merchant
princes" Of England.
The magnanimous and patriotic
grant Of Texas to this Southern Pa
cifc Railroad cannot but produce the
same result to It's stockholders.
1t isknown that the stockholders of
this road are only called on to pay up
five dollars on each hundred dollars Of
stock.
The question is then asked, if so,
how can that build the Road? Can
it then leave anything to the Stock
holders? We reply,
Texas ha. presented 1920 acres of
rich, fertile land for every mile con
-tructed. By law no reserved land of
the State near the line OF railway can
be entered for less than So 81 per
acre. THIS, on the part of the State,
will yield S25 60 per mile. Now, no
one will pretend to say that the road
through that country can cost even
$4,000 per mile at maximum e.ti'
mate. Texas has also granted loan
of So 900 per mile, to be returned in
ten years, and has not imposed any
tax upon the road.
Take the estimate Of the grant Of
S,0l7 7,920 acres, even at the low sum
OF two dollars an acre. it will more
than build the road. The surveyors
estimate of the cost TO Ell Paso 10 IA,
63I 1873, and these lands at two dol
lars per acre only will produce SI6,-
O35 $40.
But it is not :air to limit the esti-
mate oflhe lands so low. The Rail
roads OF Illinois have created AN aver
age value of SIS per acre.
The grant of land alone will thus
not only furnish the ninety. five per
cent. tor which the stakeholder is not
called on, but will leave the road out
Of debt, fully completed, yielding an
lual profits, improving even every |
acre of unsold land in value, and thus
'endering above par every share on
which only five dollars has been paid
IN the hundred dollars, together with
, large surplus for distribution.

Desperate Encounter with Dogs.

The South Side Democrat says tina,
Mr.. Thos. Whitwor,n, residing in
Dinwiddie county, few miles from
Petersburg, was badly bitten by his
own dogs, few days since, under the
following circumstances. He was
on his way to the meat house, ac-
c'mpanied by servant woman,
when from some cause, his two large
bulldogs flew at her. He turned, on
hearing the cries of the woman and
succeeded in rescung her, when she
ran some distance and fell fainting to
the ground. The dogs now vigorous
y attacked him, and for some time it
required all his efforts to prevent them
from dragging him to the ground
His strength was fast falling him hr
had nothing with which he could de-
iend himself, and no one near to rem
der him assistance.
A billet of wood lay upon the
ground, aud he thought that if he
could gain sufficient time to stoop
and secure it, he might be able to
drive them off. BY renewed effort
with his feet he succeeded in forcing
them back and quickly reached the
billet, but ere hi- finger- reached it
the larger DOG taking advantage Of
his position. seized him by the neck.
