WOnan's Looks.

Appearances are very deceitful. and it is
really fact every body cannot tell all about
a woman's character by her physiognomy.
A writer in Dickens Household Words, who
appears to have given good deal of thought
to the matter, discourseth as follows:
Il know woman who might have been
the ancestress of all the rabbits in all the
hutches in England soft, downy-looking,
fair, placid woman, with long hair, looking
down, like ears, and an innocent face of
mingled timidity and surprise. She is a
sweet tempered thing, always eating or
sleeping-who breathes hard when she goes
up stairs, and who has as few brains in
working order as any human rabbit, and no.
thing more, and she looks like one. We
alLknow the setter woman-the best of all
the types graceful, animated, well formed,
firm tread, but a light one, and who can
turn her hand to anything. The true set
ter woman is always married; she is the
real woman of the world. Then there is
the Blenheim spaniel, who covers up her
face in her ringlets, and holds down her
head when she talks, and is shy and timid.
And there is the grey hound woman, with
lantern jaws and braided hair and large
knuckles, generally rather distorted
There is the cat woman, too; elegant, steal
thy. clever, caressing, who walks without
noise, and is great in the way of endear-
ments, no limb are SO supple as hers, no back
bone SO wonderfully plant, no voice so
sweet. no manner so endearing she extracts
your secrets from you before you have spok
en- half an hours conversation with that
graceful purring woman, has, revealed to
her every, the most dangerous fact it has
been your life's study to hide. The cat wo-
man is dangerous animal. She has claws
hidden in that velvet paw, and she can
draw blood when she unsheaths them
Then there is the faced woman, gene
rally of phlegmatic temperament and mel
ancholy disposition. given to pious looks and
teetotalism. And there is the larcher wo-
man, the strong visaged, strong minded fe-
males, who wear rough coats, with mems
pockets and large bone buttons, and whose
bonnets fing.a special defiance at both beau

The City Election.

This is the last time we will have an opor
tunity of talking to our friends before the bal
lot box shall have decided whether the mis-
rule of the present dominant party shall con
tinue in the Council-whether the taxes shall
gradually grow higher and higher until repu-
diation-as matter of necessity-brands us
as q dishonest people. Do not listen to the
croakers, who tell you the taxes are not so
high as under the rule of the democrats. To
test the matter only compare your receipts
and see ifthey tell you the truth or not. ii
they tell you false, they mean todeceive you.
Elect the same complexion of Council this
year and you can not turn them out for
three years to come. If It is of no interest to
these mon to hold the Council, why do they
fight so hard for their seats 1t is of interest
to them-they log-rol and make money for
each other. That is the secret of their work
ing so hard for seats in the Council. The
Democrats have nominated good and intelli-
gent men for the Council. Men who have
never entered into intriguing for the sake of
office. You have tried the present members
of Council long enough to know that they do
not work for the interest of the people, who
have the bills to foot. Change the Council
and you will take the first steps towards de-
creasing the taxes. The Inquirer will fight
shoulder to shoulder with you, until our taxes
are placed upon living footing. Lay aside your
partizan preference and vote your honest SEN
timents There is no principle at stake-it is
question of dollars and the prosperity of
our city. Property holders! remember that
this is the time to strike the first blow for re-
trenchment and reform, and let us move on,
in body, determined to throw off this incu-
bus and unfetter prosperity. Let no man turn
you aside from your determination, by the
cries of party-it is a question of your pocket;
not your party. The men nominated by the
Democratic party are pledged to reform-to
curtail the expenses of the city government.
Save this paper as certificate of our pledge
that they will do so and if we have deceived,
you, or been deceived ourselves, we will rally
with you to make change; the columns of
the INQUIRER will be open to oppose any men
who will abuse the trusts reposed in them,
and fasten heavy debt upon our city. The
men who are nominated by the Peoples party
have given no evidence that they will retrench
the expenses or reduce the taxes. If they do
they cannot perform, for there are enough Of
the old ones holding over to vote them down.
Let the cry be, turn them Quit

We say to our democratic friends, (says
the STANDARD be of good cheer! Every indi-
cation is in our favor. We North Carolina
Democrats are not affected to any extent by
the feeling which prevails in other States
with regard to men. We agrea on principle,
and we will not fall out with each other about
men. Some are for Douglas, some for Brock
inridge, some for Wise, some for Hunter, some
for Lane, some for Dickinson, some for Dallas
but ne are all for the nominee. That is the
true fire Of the flint. Let us be careful to
pursue such course as will strengthen the
bonds of harmony and good fellowship which
now unite us. Let us be ready, when the
period arrives, to play our part with zeal and
effect in the great contest upon the result of
which depends the preservation of our rights
and the perpetuation OF the constitutional
Union. Let u.s. see to it thatifNorth Carolina is

ARREST OF THE SUPPOSED MURDERER OF
MIKE WALSH.

New York, Aug. Sl.-Patrick Mulholland,
an old State Prison bird, and hard case gem
orally, was arrested at half past two o'clock
oil Wednesday morning, by officers Sutton and
Lawney, of the 18th Precinct, on a warrant
issued by Coroner o'Keefe, in which he stands
suspected of being the murderer of the Hon.
Mike Walsh, who, it will be remembered, in
March last, was pushed down flight of steps
in sth avenue, and soon after was found dead.
The fact that Mulholland was known to be
a desperate character, and that he left the
Home House Immediately after Mr.. Walsh,
together with the fact that he, two days after
wards, started for Kansas where he has been
ever since, until his return on Monday last,
led to suspicion against him. When arrested
he was walking with about fifteen other SINH
lar characters, in the Bowery, but as the
Station House was very near, his friends
no attempt to prevent the arrest. The prison
er was taken before Justice Osborne, and COM
mitted to the Tombs.

ceeding meeting were read and approved.

ed adverse to curbing the north side Of 18th

THE IMPORTANCE OF rHE COMING ELEcTroN.-
Land owners, land dealers and laboring men
in fact, every man who has to pay tax is
interested In the coming election. You are
aware of the continual increasing taxes, en-
barrssing your property and burthensome to
yourself. To tell you the taxes are higher
now-when the streets are paved at private
expense-than they were years ago when
everything was done out of the public funds,
would be superhuous. 1t is so glazing that
the man must be demented who cannot see it,.
According to the showing of the supporters Of
this Council, through their organs, we need
not expect retrenchment or reform from
them. They are committed to all these ex-
travagances. Therefore there is no alterna-
tive but to vote the reform ticket. The men
on this ticket are all good, moral, intelligent,
business men, whose interests are identified
with the welfare of the City. Above all they
have no axes to grind.
