The "PRsTTY WATER GIRLS IN DANGER. -
The "pretty waiter girl ?" question is engag-
ing the attention of the New York Legislature
The practice is regarded as a scandal and an
abomination 4 bill with the following pro-
visions is about being introduced into the
legislature &: .... - .-..
l. That no concert saloon shall be allowed
to exist in this State which employees girls to
wait upon customers. ....-. .~-.,. ,
2. That in no place where music is used in
any way, shall girls be employed by the estab-
lishment to sit among the attendants. .,...
. g. That in no drinking saloon of any kind
shall females be publicly employed. -
4. That dancing housesmust not be toiera-
ted by the police. ......z.
A writer in the New York World thinks
that if the pretty waiter girls 60 to work in
earnest, and with true female tact, they will
be enabled to create an interest that will de-,
feat the measure" He relates the following
as illustrating their influence in such affairs
: In connection with this subject am re-
minded of the means adopted not many win
tiers since to defeat bill ofsomewhat similar
nature The measure having been introduced,
shortly after there appeared upon the scene
dozen ''pretty waiter girls" all arrayed for
the tug f war. These young ladies put up
at house without pretensions as a hotel
but that only served their purp Sc better. It
was not long before several Keen fellows
members Of the House-found out the new
attraction, and for a day or two, Tom, Dick
and Harry, were constant attendants at the
aforesaid hotel. Each man prided himself up
on possessing a great secret. - -.
Finally, sleigh ride was arranged between
two honoIabes and two of the girls. and away
went the party at the appointed hour in gal
liant style towards. Troy. Att9 o'clock supper
was to be ready at certain establishment
near Albany, but what was the astonishment
of the last couple, upon being escorted TO the.
supper room, to, find eleven other couples,
the males all legislators and the females all
pretty waiter girls. All religiously promised
to keep the secret.
Next night another party went out, and
with the same result, and so it was managed,
until in one way or another enough members
had been caught in the netto insure the peace
ful exit Of the bill. -
But the secret leaked out, and gentleman
who had evidently not been caught, introduced
a resolution of enquiry. The utmost indig-
nation was expressed that only common ru-
NOR should be the basis Of such q resolution
the proposition was voted down; legislative
virtue was sustained; the girls went home
and every man after that was afraid to speak
of the Waiter Girls Bill for fear he would be
suspected with the rest.

clear by the national trials, fresh in the
memory of all, through which the re-
public passed and is passing to certain

Judgment they have demanded that the
WAYS of the nation shall be readjustcd

inevitable by the memories of sacrifices

Georgia Legislature.

New YORK. Dec. "a correspondent
at Millcdgeville, Georgia, writes that
the reasons for the rejection of the con-
stitutional amendment by the Legisla-
ture of that State were that there were
no guarantees given that the admission
of the State to the Union would follow
its adoption, and that the people con-
slider it the hight of ingratitude to dis
franchise those Who were lately their
soldiers. They have begun To look
calmly Mt the possibility of negro suf-
fraye as a means of readmission, but it
is still revolving to them.
A bill has been under consideration
in the Legislature, looking to the cstab
li.hment of common schools for whites
and blacks throughout the State, ant
will probably be passed.
Emigration from the North is encour'
aged, and much capital has already
flowed in from that section.
