We have often wondered if the girls didn't
love kissing, when we would see cousin B1IL's
ANN ELIZA pull her long white sun bonnet over
her sweet countenance, and hide. her head in the
rose-bush in the flower garden and say don't,
when BILL went to kiss her. The editress Of
the Georgia Weekly Leader lets the secret out,
thus:
"What an absurd idea it is in q man to ask q

- The Philadelphia Psnnsyluanian has this
thought on the non.intercourse movement:
Every great political revulsion, every mighty
historical event, has an idea as its precursor,
and the idea Of the South is that Of non-inter
course, and though it appears so harmless tc
short-sighted Abolitionism, it is still pregnant
with great national disasters. And then, sup

combined in the lady's riding. dress. Too long
skirt is violation of this rule, and is objec'
tionable, because it is liable to entangle the
fair rider in case of accident. A lady should
never ride alone. The gentleman accompanying
her should always ride to her right side for two
reasons: if his horse becomes frightened and

the risk of crushing the lady's feet and if hel
horse springs, she will need his assistance most
on the right side to prevent her from falling.

treaty will be ratified in its original form and
returned to Nicaragua, whose Government it is
believed, will overlook the delay, and accept the
