Ideas About Women.

A French book, recently published at
Brussels, contains, among other interest,"
ing matters, collection Of aphorisms
about women, taken from the writings Of
various authors. We copy few OF them :
ChanJort-In the choice OF a lover,
women consider more how he appears in
the eyes Of other women than in her own.
Love is more pleasing than matrlmony,
just romance is more pleasing than history.
Bonquea,t.-If we speak i'll of the sex
generally, they will rise against US; but
if we do the same Of any Individual
woman, they will agree with us.
Charles Lemsle.-Most Of their faults
women owe to US, while we are indebted
to them for most of our better qualities.
Daniel .Sterne Most Of women are
endowed with such naturally endearing
charms that even their very presence is
generally beneficial.
Madame De .Staez. Love in a woman S
life is a history in a mans an episode:
Diderot.-There exists among women
secret tie like that among priests of the
same faith. They hate each other, yet
,StuiH.-No woman, even the most
intellectual, believes herself decidedly
homely. The self,deception is natural,
for there are some most charming women
without particle of beauty.
Oc!are FeuiVet -Providenc has so or
dered it that only two women have true
interest in the happiness of man-his own
mother and the mother of bis children.
Besides these two legitimate kinds Of love,
there is nothing between the two crea
lures except painful and idle deluslon.
A1phonse Can.-Say of woman that
she Is wicked, obstinate, frivolous but add
that she is beautiful, ana be assured that
she will think kindly Of you. Say that
she is kind, v;rtuo1s, sensible, but very
homely, aud she will never forget you in
her life.
Maaame de Maintenon In everything
that woman writes there will be thousands
Of faults against grammer, but also to a
certainty always charm not to lie found
IN the letters of man.
j. j. Rousseou.-Men can better phil
osoph:ze on the human heart, but woman
can resd it heller.

band. OF course the prison doors were
opened, and he who had SO long stood be-
meath the shadow of the eallows was
restored to society with An unstained
reputation.
Mrs. Cookson accounted for her absence
BY stating that, after the quarrel with her
husband and his departure for Norfolk,
she bad departed quite as hastily for New
Hampshire, where she had been visiting
some frienos. Being al uneducated
woman, she had held no communication
with her relatives, and they had been in
utter ignorance Of her Whereabouts. She
returned at the critical time she did, sup
posing her husband would have completed
his voyage, but no. knowing that he was
imprisoned on charge of having murdered
her.
The question then arose "who is the
woman who has been thus murdered T.
but no satisfactory answer could be given,
and, altho' the police long devoted their
energies to unraveling The mystery, nc
solution to it could be obtained, and the
affair was forgotten. The unfortunate
woman slept in the grave yard at Seaconk;
no friend visited her grave, and TO one
could tell her story. Her sad fate and
her remarkable resemblance to another
had secured for her Christian burial, and
that was all that was known of her.
A short time since Inspector Leonard
had in custody a noted burglar, who had
long been known to the authorities as be-
ing one of the most skillful Of bis class.
This man gave to the Inspector a solution
Of the Seaconk mystery, which has never
been printed. He said that the murder
ed woman was the wife Of an expert Eng
Iish burglar named Collins, who is now
dead. Collins had long followed his nefa-
rious profession, from the pursuit Of which
his wife had endeavored TO weau him
! She was aware of many Of the secrets OF
the gang to which Collins belonged, and
particularly OF all the facts connected with
burglary at Providence, to her death.
The gang had become suspicious of her,
and fearing that she might expose them,
had resolved upon her death. She was
accordingly most brutally murdered by
her husband and his associates, and her
body disposed of in The manner described
Collins Immediately left the scene, and
shortly afterward died in prison. The
burglar who related these facts knew
nothing regarding the history of the I'M
fortunate woman, save that she was born
in England and was Collins wife. The
old adaGe that "murder will on. ?" sell
dom fails, although its exploitation may
sometimes be delayed until the perpetra-
tor has answered the charge before a court
from which there is DO appeal,

The Fenians-The Cause xot to be
Abandoned,

The New York irish Ax.erican, the
organ Of Gen. SWEENEY and President
ROBERTS, and which is supposed to speak
for them, says in It's las. issue that the
cause Of Fenianism is not to be abandoned,
and that active movements will, at no
distan, day, commence anew-with more
secrecy. however, than has heretofore
been observed. Speaking of the late
invasion Of Canada, i. says:
AS for the action Of the Fenians, they
may attribute its pos.ponement 10 the
American Government alone. We say
postponement advisedly. The great design
has no: been abandoned, or given up.
We believe it to be so thoroughly ground
&c in the very being of the sturdy and
ten acious Irish race, as to be destined
never to be abandoned ill at length
crowned with success. The present
damper on the movement may have
tended to moderate the hot>headed en-
thusiasm and blind zeal of many connected
with the organization, and taught the
necessity of circumspection and foresigh.
as well as Of boldness. That circumspec
ton will be henceforth a more character
is.ic trait Of the Fenians in this country
than i has heretofore been. But the
boldness, bravery, energy and enthusiasm
which, In the movement on Canada, as
everywhere else, has been the mark Of the
Irish patriot, are cnly tempered, not
extinguished, by the present disappoint-
ment Of the expedition. In a short time
the averaging hand of the Cet will show
itself again; with more caution as regards
the United States government, perhaps,
bu. with equal pluck and dash as regards
the Saxon foe. Mr.. Seward may take the
assurance from US, that in a short time the
movement shall be made again, with
measures to ensure success so concerted as
70 battle and defy his new-hedged zeal in
behalf Of England. With or without the
consent of the United States government,
but with the consent, aye, and the assis-
lance of the American people, the cam
paign will be resumed at no distant day,
and concerted, concentrated ard careful
effort be made to compensate for the
postpopements and disappoin tments OF the
past.

A School-House Blown down by Gale
Seven Children Killed and Nine
Wounded.

From the Charleston 6. c. Courier, June 8.
One of the most heart ,rending and ap-
palIng catastrophies which we have been
called upon TO record occurred at the yil>
lage of hamburg, on the Augusta branch
of the South Carolina railroad, IS miles
from Charlestown, between 3 and o'clock
Tuesday afternoon, by which nearly every
family Of that village has been thrown
Into the deepest gloom and mourning.
The scene of this distressing occurrence
was about 800 yards from the depot in a
two story frame building, known as Allen
lodge of Freemasons, lately used as q
school house b. Mr.. Roberts Seabork and
his sister, the former having charge OF
the male and the latter the female
department.
Into this building some l S of the schol-
ara, boys and girls, had assembled about
) o'clock for the purpose Of joining in a
festive party given by the young misses
to their youthful male friends. While in
the act of spreading table with refresh
ments, candies cakes etc, the builIing
was struch by violent gale OF wind or
tornado from the west, which passed over
the village, taking uortheasterly direc
ton sweeping trees, fences and every
thing else before it. The chimney was
carried away at the same time that the
roof was rent assunder An attempt was
made by George W. Patrick, one of the
older boys, to open the door, but that was
found to be SO jammed in as to defy re-
moval. Another of the youths, Charles
Stewart, then pro posed to escape by the
window, and jumped out for the purpose
of assisting the others, when the whole
building fell killing young Stewart and
five others instantly, and wounding 10
others, one Of whom expired shortly after
reaching home. Only two Of the party
escaped entirely unhurt. The little Miss
Urbanna Rentz, who was carried home in
dying condition, bore her suffering with
unusual fortitude. Most Of those who we're
saved were found where they had crept
under the school benches, upon which
the timbers had rested after the falling
Of the building. But few minutes suf-
feed to spread the news Of this awful ca.
tastrophe in the village, aud the whole
community soon gathered around the
place Parents, relatives and friends were
in the most dreadful suspense. The bodies
Of both the living and dead were either
covered or wedged in between the heavy
timbers, and required the use of axes to
release them.

SIess OF RAIN.-The earth was very dry.-
No rain had fallen 10 long time and all
were looking snxiously for "signs" of COM
rug storm. The direction of the wind, the
coler of the sky, the shape of the clouds, and
their varied hues at sunrise and sunset, were
all prophesfed by; and many thought the rain
at hand when the swallows few lew, or they
heard the cocks crew before midnight, or the
dogs and cats ate grass, or the new moon took
shape so that she would not hold water be-
tween her horns. The barometer even, WAS
vacillating and could not be relied on. But
one afternoon the cellar bottom grew moist,
and even wet. Al night, Patrick said that the
outlet of the long tile drain, which had been
almost dusty for days, was wet with water
| coming down the drain. I strolled down the
road at shutdown and met the Deacon. "Ws
shall have rain before long" said he, "the

PREPAYMENT OF PosTAGR.-A clerk in the
st. Louis post Office, some months ago, found
ten dollar bill on the street. He appropriated
1t to the paying of postage on letters dropped
into the Office without being prepaid. By per-
mission OF the postmaster he also affixed a no.
tice to the letter, informing the person to
whom 1t was directed that it was detained on
account of postage, and realizing how impor-
pant it was to have letters forwarded imme-
diately, he had placed the necessary stamps
on the letter, asking the return of postage
stamps Of equal value, addressed to "Good
WILL" st. Louis P. o. "Good Will" has for
warded about twenty-five letters a day. which
would otherwise have gone to the Dead Letter
Office. Some do not comply with the request
but those who do, generally send twice as
many stamps as he puts on their letters. He
also receives contributions Of money, 80 that
there is still nine dollars on hand. He is SAN
guine that the fund will maintain itself. He
has received in return for forwarding y letter
