selfish purposes, to help them grind

more propitious moment for their own
profit.-IPGsh. dispatch to the N. y.

SOUTHERN FEMALE INsoI.ESCE.-
From letter in the Boston 1Idreytiscr.
dated Savannah, July 81, we take the
following: a day or two ago n Union
officer, yielding to an impulse of polite
ness, handed n dish of pickles to a
Southern lady Mt the dinner table of n
hotel i'll this city. a look of unspeak-
able scorn and Indignation met him.
$50 you think, " said tho lady, ga South
ern woman will take dish of pickles
from hand that is dripping with the
blood OF her countrymelsS' 1t is re-
markable upon what trifiinr material
this female wrath is feeding and grow
ing lat. In n certain district in South
Carolina the ladies We're some time ago,
and perhaps are now, dreadfully exer-
cised about theveil question. Y9u may
ask me what veil question is. Form
erly-under the old order of things
negro women were not permitted TO
wear wells. Now, under the new order
of things, II good many are wearing
wells. This is nn outrage which cannot
be submitted to. The white ladies of
that neighborhOod agree in being indig-
nant beyond measure. Some of them
declare that whenever they meet Il COL
ored woman wearing IL veil, they will
tear the veil from her fiIce, Others.
mindful of the consequences which
such an act of violence might draw aE-
ter it under this same new order of
things, declare their resolve never to
wear wells themselves, rs long as color
cd women weAr wells. That Is the veil
question, and this is the way it stands
at present.

BAD PLACE FOR RETURNING REBELS.
Western Maryland is rather n dan

those who formerly resided there, and

the same place, but refused to do so and
forwarded the notification to head
quarters in Baltimore. He was after
wards arrested for Noncompliance with
the order of Gen. Huncock i'll relation

Gov. FLETCHER AND THE PREACHERS.
-GovernOr Fletcher, of Missouri, is
gritty. He made speech at st. Jo-
seph the other day for the benefit OF
those preachers who refuse to take the
oath, and describes his short method
with them as follows: 'sI have directed
an enlargement of the penitentiary cell

undertaking to decide for themselves
the laws which are to be obeyeCl, and
those that are TO be spit upon and

vice, shall be provided with suitable
quarters III case they escape the hang

No MORE GREENBACKs.-A WASH
ington dispatch to the Philadelphia In
QuiTer says: 1t is understood that the
Secretary of the Treasury will issue no
more grecnbaclls at present, nor will
he ask loan from the National Banks:
but with the receipts from internal rev
enue, from customs and from the issue
of certificates, he will be able to make
both ends meet until after the meeting
of next Congress. Agents are here from
the large cities, advocating the issue OF
more currency, but the Secretary is de-
cidedly opposed TO any such measure,
or to borrowing any more money, if he
can possibly avoid it. This will pre-
vent sudden fluctuations and the ex-
pansion of prices, which would newt
ably be the result of further issue OF
currency.

THE copperhead democracy have de-
cided to hold camp meetings this fall.
The ex-RcF. Chauncey Burr, will run
one in Pennsylvania. This will give
Chauncey chance to try his old tricks
and indulge his well known tastes, if
the sisters attend pretty generally. The
New York Daily News warmly OIL
dorses the camp meeting dodge, saying:
democratic camp meetings, it strikes
us, are precisely fitted to the times"
Well, if you intend to devote your time
to penitentinl prayer for your manifold
transgressions, it will be good thing.

THE Republican State Convention of
Pennsylvania will meet on the 18th,
and the Philadelphia Press, Colonel
Forney's paper, advises that President
Johnson's policy of reorganization be
fully and heartily indorsed. 1t thinks
the question OF negro suffrage may as
well be ignored, since it will take sew
eral years to strike the word "white"
out of the Pennsylvania constitution,
and Pennsylvania is not called upon to
decide the question for other States.

READING ALoUD.-I think it is much
to be regretted that this charming ac-
complishment of reading aloud is not
more cultivated by ladies. You see
half dozen girls in family whether
they are musical or not,ss doomed to
hours of daily practice on the piano,
which is in fact so many hours of pre-
/ clons TIME wasted. How few ever play
sufficiently well to be listened to with
pleasure; and many of those who play
decentlY Y give 1t up rs soon as they are
married: 1 am not speaking against
nnuslc-Iet those who have a real taste
devote themselves to it, but Certainly It
ought not to be viewed as aneducation-
al necessity, like geography or history.
NOW there are few people who cannot
be taught to read we'll, ana there are a
thousand ways in which a good reader
can give pleasure. When, iatliers and
husband come home tired from their
pfotes ora e tlilties OF day, how

some good review, read aloud by wives
or daughters. But toLlo that we'll a cer-
tain amount of study is requisite; first
OF alE1t is necessary to acquire habit
of sustaining the voice; then one must
learn to modulate the tones, TO attend
to punctuation, and, above all, the
reader must have II fair appreciation of
the authors meaning. This involves n
study of English literature, which is
sadly needed by most young ladies who
are supposed to have finished their
education. 1t is impossible to estimate
sufficiently the Importance OF reading
aloud in the family circle. Childre5
are wonderfully impressed by HeGrin1
poetry; their tastes are formed, and
their minds stored with knowieflrc,
often far beyond, their years, if they
have been brought up where the Eng
ltsh classics are read aloud and talked
about. And in after life how often.
amidst turmoil and trouble, some scrap
OF poetry or prose comes back to us in
the tones i'll which we heard it read,
Some noble sentiment-some pure
thoughts thus forever associated
with ..the tender grace of a day thnt is
dead" and with ''the sound OF n voice
that is still" The Queen has set an
example to the ladies of England in
this matter. l have heard every one
say, who has had an opportunity of
hearing her majesty, that she reads
aloud i'll the most faultless manner it is
possible to conceive. 1t has always
struck me that true refinement of mind
Is more shown in this simple nccom-
plishment than in almost any other.

IT is not long since the democratic
papers claimed Gen. Grant rs belonging
to their own party. Now the Hartford
Times abuses him with it's choicest epi-
thets, accuses him of making an cleo
ton tour, and says that he is inferior
looking, and that he makes no speeches
because he cannot. The democrats are
welcome to all the party capital they
can make by abusing General Grant.
Loyal men of all parties honor him.

A MAN was lately tried in Ireland for
being connected with the Fenian move
ment and sentenced to seven years
penal servitude. The chief Justice told
him his crime-trying to induce British
soldiers to desert and enlist in the
American service-was one of the great
est he could be guilty of. The Cork
Examiner, in commenting upon this
sentence, says that there is no chance
for the success of Fenianism, and that
it "appears to be an elaborate Organiza-
tion to get number of young Irishmen
transported.

Qpeu what paper, you may, radical or eonsoryn-
tive, Roman Catholic or Protestant, and The
heading " FcIanism - is seen in bold type.
Fsnianism in fact has become the great sensation
of the day. Tho grand general congress of the
Feniana.in tho United States assembled in pbila-
dephia ON the 9th of0ctober, andis, We believe,
still in session. There is perfect outpOuring Of tho
fa:thfulto attend this important convention, rep
resentatives having arrived even from California
and the far Territories OF tho West. 1t seems
more thanprobable too that Fen6nsm will on this
occasion take some decisive step.
The various shapes which this Fenian excite
ment takes in England. and Irsland arc rs strange
in form as The minds of inen can mako them. The
British papers, while agreeing in bclief That the
main project is to wrest Ireland fr9n the English
rule, ere by no means harmouians in agreement
as to the nannor in which the work is to DC dono.
An uprising CT tho seagift isle is presumed, Of
course, to be uron- the programme, but it is
thought by some that there is to be powerful as
sistauco from abroad. Tho sonding Of British
feet to guard the coast Of Ireland s an evidence
Of the fears which are entertained of sudden
descent. The United States are supposed to be
the ho.hed of tho intrsues which are to culmi-
nate in tho grand attempt at revolution. To pro-
vent the sudden lanling Of an armed expedition
is tho object of those maritime prccautlons.
Whilst however, the British authorities are
garrisoning Ireland and blockading it's ports,
thcro are not wanting "well-informed :" parties
who coolly inform them that they arc .neglceting
tho real point of danger, that real point bcing
Canada. This British possession, say The I" woll-
informed" is to be invaded by an immense army
Of Fcnians from the Unitad Statos. Canada being
carried by coup dc mnin, will be erected iato an
Irish republic The United States will contract
an alliance with The new and aourishins republic.
