The SOUTHERN GENTLEMAN.


Az to the ferocity and cowardce of Southern
duels, Mr. Russell substantiates all that pre-
vious English writers have advanced "Well,n
said the Governor of Mississippi, Il think our
average in jackson Is a murder month y but
the Governor used less offensive term than
murder. At Jackson the traveller gained much
information about the duelo. II learned, he
says, "many valuable facts. was warned, for
example, against the impolicy of trusting to
small-bored pistols or to pocket six shooters in
case Of a close fight, because: suppose YOU hit
your man mortally, he may still run in upon
you and rip you up with bowie knife before
he falls dead; whereas If you drive a GOOD
heavy bullet into him, or make hole in him
with a Derringer' ball, he gets faintish and
drops at once" Here again is useful instruc
ton: "If gentleman with whom you are en-
gagged 10 alteration moves his hand towards
his breaches pocket or behind his back, you
must smash him or shoot him at once, for he
Is either going to draw his six-shooter or pull
out bowie knife or to shoot you through the
lining Of his pocket. The latter practise is
considered rather ungentlemanly, but it has
been more honored lately in the observance
than in the breach" OF Great Britain the
Southern gentlemen displayed equal ignorance
and disdain. To them we are race of cow
ards because we have put down dueing, and
country is but "a sort of appanage of their
cotton Kingdom" Indeed the old boast of
"Cottoneis King" was repeated TO Mr.. Russell
with frequency and emphasis that sorey rri-
tilted him at the time, and makes him now say
Liverpool and Manchester have obscured all
Great Britain TO the Southern eye" Another
article In the true Southern creed is: "Great
Britain Is in mortal fear of France, and is alb
jectly subdued by her great rival"

DREssIEe WITH TAsTE.--It is strange
that with all the time American women
bestow upon dress, so few know how to
prepare simple toilet with taste. To
be cell dressed means, with most, To
wear rich material, made up in gorge
Gus style, and with all the usual &C.
cessories of lace and jewelry, to add to
the msgui6cence Of the general effect.
Never was greater mistake. To be
well dressed is only to have attire suited
to time, place. and circumstances, made
in a becoming manner. This attire
may be shilling calico or a rich silk,
and yet. in either, If it is adapted to
the conditions we have mentioned, a
woman may be said TO be well dressed.
Where household duties have to be per-
formed, and the care Of children de-
wolves partly upon the mistress of the
house, a neat dress fitted gracefully to
the figure is much better for morning
wear than the faded remains of a more
pretentious costume. Nothing looks
more forlorn than to see a would be
lady performing household Offices, OF
not the most refined character, in an
old torn or dirty silk dress, or a soiled
and draggled and open wrapper. One
Of the secrets Of dressing well is to
dress appropriately, another to be care
ful Of the details, the minutia Of the
toilet. Thorough personal cleanliness.
glossy, well-brushed hair, neat shoes
and stockings, are as essential to good
personal appearance as the material
and fashion of the dress. Indeed, a
lady who is particular in these minor
matters, can hardly ever be said 10 be
addressed, as this delicate refinement
will not only excuse faults, but natural
ly show itself in the good taste which
will guide her selection, no matter how
small the cost may be. Some per-
sons have an extreme horror Of being
"canght," !" as they call it, in a morning
dress. Why they should be so sensi.
tive on this point, it is difficult to say.
IL 1t IS clean and adapted to the work
IN which they are engaged, there is no
shame in wearing, and above all, il
ought 10 be remembered that no attire
is good enough for the family which is
not good enough for mere acquaintance
who may chance to favor ysu with
their society. It is much better to be
caught in plain morning dress than to
be caught very much over.dressed, as
some unlueky individuals are, at a
small evening party. In one case there
Is real cause for modification, in the
other there is none. Mothers should
carefully press this lesson upon their
daughters. Many a young lady has
lost an eligible match through the dis.
covery that the belle Of the evening
was the slattern Of the morning, and
that she paid more attention to the mum.
Der Of her founces than the cleanliness

should be buried in a royal position,

over the sepulcher OF our Savior at
Jerusalem. In a tomb within this
chapelhe was placed upon a throne.--

and royal mantle covered his lifeless
shoulders. Thus was his body placed
and did his body remain for about one
hundred and ninety years.
One Of his ancestors resolved he
would see how Charlemagne looked,
and what had become Of the riches
that had adorned his tomb. Nearly a
thousand years after Christ the tomb
was opened by the Emperor Ohio
The skeleton form OF the body was
found there, dissolved and dismem-
bered; the various ornaments speak
Of we're there, too; but the frame had
sunk into fragments. the bones had
fallen disjointed and assunder, and
there remained nothing but the ghast-

The FRENCH DEFEAT AT PUEBLA.-
Dispatches from Gen. Rivas, giving
full reports Of the battle in front Of Pue.
bls, OF the 18th and 18th Of December,

favored the attack, which was made
from an ambuscade three squares in
length, BY infantry and cavalry. In
the second engagement. the contest las.
ted three hours, the plan of attack was
to take the enemy's rear, which was
covered by 1900 traitor Mexicans.--
Several charges were made by each
side. Finally the Mexicans made a
countermarch, and the French did not
venture to pursue them. One inciden.
during the battle was a duel between
two Mexican Colouels, one Of whom
was fighting on the French side and
was killed. The Mexicans captured
sixteen horses. alarge number of arms,
and FIVE prisoners. traitors who were
Immediately put to death. Nothing is
said about the Mexican loss. 1t is evil

CArcH THE THIEvEs.-Two horses
were stolen on last Sabbath night, one
belonging to Benz. A Wsk6eld and the
other to Rev. w. J. Griffith, Of Bur-
lington circuit. The facts are these:
Some time late in the fall, a man under
the name OF Charles Wsrd, attended by
a young woman, applied to Mr.. Wax
field for boarding, stating that he was a
refugee from Kentucky, having been
forced to leave his home on account oil
his Union sentiments. Soon after his
arrival he drove bargain with Mr..
W, offering bis horse IL be would board
them up to the lst Of next month,
which was accepted. From certain
conduct, suspicion rested on them that
they were not man and wife. Satisfied
that all was not right a strict watch
was kept over them, not boweYer
dreaming that they would steal away
by night. On Sabbath last, Mr.. Grif-
fifth filled his regular appointment in
that neighborhood. pat up with Mr.. w..
over night The thief very politely as
sisted the minister in stsbling the horse,
thereby learning the exact position of
every thing, and at the same time ask
ing many questions about the good
traits of the animal. Early in the
evening his lady pretended to be ex-
ceedingly i'll, and required a great
amount Of attention. Ever ything was
so managed as not to create the least
suspicion. Between two O'Clock and
morning, the loving couple set out for
Dixie, having first selected S75 worth
ofclothing out Of the family's wardrobe.
Next morning the parties in pursuit
succeeded in tracing the thieves to the
East Ironton ferry. The ferryman
recognized the preachers horse, and
Ward on being questioned said he had
bought it, giving s195. As to the
saddlebags, he said they might resem-
bic Mr.. Griffith's but that was all. La
ter in the day they were seen on the
road toward Grayson, Kentucky, and
as parties are in pursuit, it is 10 be
hoped they will be overtaken before
they reach rebeldom, whittier it is sup.
