LovEABLE Misunderstanding TO n new
Theory of Harmony and Form" certain
com binaations of q circle. triangle, and square
produce perfect type of female beauty. This
may be called reducing loneliness to u math-
ematicai demonstration. We have ALWAYS
considered woman a wonderful problem, yet
never suspected that this was the true solu-
ton. But perhaps the theory is only sym.
bolical. hoop is circle, the Eugene
cooked hat is q triangle, and the fashion a BILE
cloaks are all squares. Possibly the new the

three. with q good looking girl included. ,
constitute the beau ideal of feminine fascina.

Theory goes on TO say, however, that the
regulation of the geometrical figures must be
in accord with certain harmonic proportions
existing in music , from which We infer that
lady automatically beautiful appears to
most advantage when dancing 10 the sound of

woman-and none other is really beautiful
is not mathematical, though it may compre-

A Cincinnati newspaper reports that in a
recent conversation between Senator Sumner and
President johnson, the former having in a some
what insolent manner conC emned his proclama-
ton for reorganizing North Caralina, the presi-
dent said "You awear that have no respect
for secessionist; but much as despise him. I
have still greater detestation and contempt for
a fanatic" Whether Mr.. johnson did or not ex-
press himself thus to ''the eloquent and polished
Sumner" his speeches give convincing proof that
those are his real sentiments, and abolitionsts
are learning the fact by his official action, if in no
other way.

female beauty and health. The cheeks the eyes,

Forney, in letter to the Philadel phia
Press having written that Henry c. Burnett
of Kentucky, had applied for pardon and
evinced his Willingness TO assist III procuring
the ratification of the constitutional amend
ment in that state, a "loya" newspaper in
Cincinnati is moved to the sub ioined com
ment:
ssBurnett considered him self the leader of the
secessionists in Kentucky He in the habl
of boastng of the readiness OF the state to 60 out
OF the Union. At the Charleston convention he
one of the no of the street spouters about
southern rights land helped the malignants in their
work. He ought to be suffered to repent for some
time before rations OF fat veal provided for
hIm.''
For an abolition newspaper to assign as a
reason why a rebel should not be pardoned
that was a malignant at the Charleston con
vention is q singular proof of ingratitude.-
We have before alluded to the forgetfulness
of favors received by abolitionists in demand
ing the punishment If confederate leaders,
'The Beast" was one of those same malig-
nants at the Charleston convention. Why not
hang him Why is it unreasonable to sup
pose that those who were his southern ass CT
ates there will not become as loyal" as he
II permitted to depart in peacc. As the abo.
litionists were their allies before and after
the war, it would seem as If the rebels would
wish to renew the political alliance. Really,
we think the abolitienists would do well to
cultivate their acquaintance and seek u re
newal to the old copartnership. 1t might
save them the fuss and bother they are now
making about colored suffrage Votes are
what they are after, and who knows but
little political management might give them
as great support in the south in 1868 as
they received there in 1902 Chicago Times.

MISSISSIPPI.

"The militia difficulty in Mississippi" we
are most happy to say, no longer threatens to
retard the work of reconstruction in that State.
Governor Sharkey having ordered the re-organi-
cation of the State militia for the suppression
OF organized bands of robbers, bis orders were
countermanded by the Federal General in COM
mand in that State, and the endorsation of that
officers course by Sir Secretary Stanton, led
many to believe that the action of Governor
Sharkey had not met the approval of President
johnson. The extract from letter of Presi-
dent johnson, which we publish elsewhere, set
ties the Whole question: and will be hailed with
Joy by the people of the South. He favors the
Reorganization of the militia, the withdrawal,
to great extent, of the forces of the United
States, and 'wishes the people to come forward
in the defence Of the State and Federal govern
ments." He says most emphatically, "The
people must be trusted with their government,
and if trusted, my opinion is they will act in
good faith, and restore their former cousttu-
tional relations with all the States composing
the Union" These are noble words, and sound
the death knell of Radical misrule, usuI patton
and oppression. The President says, moreover,
that he requires the military to aid the Provis
ional Governor in the performance of his duties,
as prescribed in his proclamation, and in no
manner to interfere throw impedInents in the
way of the contamination of the object of his
appointment" The letter merits careful peru
sal, and proves that the President is worthy of
our confidence and most cordial support-Rieh-
