The aAutocrat'' of the Atlantic MONTHLY
throws OF the following:
But confound the make believe women we
have turned loose IN our streets where do
they come from? Why there isn't beast or
a bird that would drag its tail through the
dirt in the way hese creatures do their dress
es. Because queen or o duchess wears long
robes on great occasions, a maid-of-all-
work, or a factory girl, thinks she must
make herself nuisance by trailing through
the streets, picking up and carrying about
with her--bah! that's what | call getting
vulgarity into your bones and marrow. Ma.
king believe TO be what you are not ia the es-
sence Of vulgarity.
Show over dirt is the one attribute oil vul-
gar people. Ii any man can walk behind one
of these women and see what she rakes up
as she goes, and not feel squeamsh, he has a
tough stomach. | would not let one Of them
into my room without serving them as David
did Saul at the cave of the wilderness-cut
OF his skirts!
Don't tell me that a true lady ever sac.
rifces the duty of Keeping all around her
sweet and clean, TO the wish OF making a
| vulgar. show. will not believe it of any
lady.
There are come things which no fashion
has any right to touch, and cleanliness is one
these things.
| Ii woman wishes to show that her hus-
band or her father has got money, which she
wants and means to spend, but doesn't know
how, let her buy yard or two of silk, and
pin it to her dress when she goes out to
take walk, but lot her unpin it before
she goes into the house; there may be some
poor woman who will think it worth disin.

CT The Dubuque Herald and Express
thinks the refusal OF the Democracy in Me-
braska to abolish slavery in that Territory,
and then growing over the defeat of the bill
as Democratic victory, was mistake
The Chicago Times thinks ii sort o. was, and
sort o. wasn't. Our opinion is, that the
whole Democratic party is mistake; and
the people are fast finding it out; but the
conduct of the Democracy in Nebraska was
quite consistent with the general character
and policy Of the party.

The Southern cotton -raisers, class of
men who are very noisy in stigmatizing the
Yankees as set of picayunish cheats, have
lately been engaged very extensively in put
ting sand in their cotton bales, exported to
the North and to England. The harm to the
cotton machinery would be very great, il it
were not carefully cleaned. But then, sand
at twelve cents pound or so is profitable
By the following, from the Providence Jour
nal of the Goth, it seems that other and more
Infamous tricks are played upon purchasers:
INcKSpARY DOCUMENTS IN CoTToS.-We
lately mentioned that atwelve-pound cannon
ball had been found here in bale OF cotton,
and we then took occasion to remark that the
substitution Of iron for sand as an article to
increase the weight of the bale showed o
slight moral improvement in the dishonest
packers. But something worse even than
sand has been found in bale which recently
arrived. That 10 lucifer matches. They
were in pine box which was partially bro
ken, so that they could not fail to ignite in
passing through the picker. Had they not
been accidentally discovered, they might have
caused the destruction of one OF the most
valuable mills ia this State. We leave TO
each reader the responsibility and the luxury
of characterixing the msanness of the man
who conceaIs matches in cotton, if language
can be found adequate to the emergency.
