A lady Able to Protect Herself

A respectably dressed individual Of the genus
loaler, says the St. Louis Press, insulted lady
in the Fourth street cars few days since by
paving her fare to the conductor before he
reached her. Thelady, on being informed that
her fare had been paid, asked the conductor If
the person on the opposite side was the one
Upon being answered in the affirmative, she
said she had no acquaintance with the man,
but that he was continually following her, had
three times before paid her fare in the cars, and
she was determined to put stop to it. BY
this time the loafer had started for the rear Of
the car, but not quick enough to escape the IN
censed woman, who, catching him by the col
Jar. slapped bis face we'll and strong, and then,
applying the toe Of q No. gaiter to the june
ton Of the legs Of bis unmentionables," pro-
PEELED him to the sidewalk, after which she re-
sumed her seat, while the spectators rendered
a verdict Of " served him right"

when am dead, my dearest,
Sing no sad songs for me:
Plant thou no roses at ny bead.
Nor shady cypress-tree
Be the green grass above me
With Showers and dew-drops wet;
And II thou wilt, remember,
And If thou wilt, forget.
I shall not see the shadows,
l shall not feel the rain;
shall not hear the nightingale
Sing on, as If in pain:
And dreaming through the twilight
That doth not rise nor set,
HAPPY / may remember,
And haply may forget

Strange Caprices of Female Sect.
Nihilists" is the name of a new sect
formed among the women of St Pc
tersburg They have made their APP
pearance in Paris, at least so says q cor
respondent who relates the following
1.-THE lie Dean for the Gar, sung in
the Russian church in the Faubourg du
Roule, was attended by the elite of Rus
sian society, all in full dress, and as
magnilioently adorned with Jewels as
for IA representation at court. The
blaze of diamonds was something mar
vellous, and created great curiosity
among some of the French spectators
gathered there. But, in spite of the
tremendous quantity Of loyalty and
diamonds displayed, none of the fair
wearers -ttracted the same attention as
that drawn toward two modest looking
young women who stood in the penum-
bra thrown by the projecting angle Of
the wall beneath the archway at the
entrance of the chapel
These two fair and beautiful stran-
gers became the cynosure of all eyes,
the 'lionnes' of the assembly, the dis
traction which caused the universal
gaze TO wander from the priest to the
altar and the wondrous singers of the
choir. Their attitude, nevertheless,
was humbled and reserved; they seem
ed To avoid, rather than seek observa-
ton. Their custom was singular enough,
however, 10 attract all the scrutiny they
met with; the two fair heads cropped
close, their attire sort Of compromise
between the coat and trowsers of the
male sex, with the most convenient
portions Of female costume. A jacket
descending low over the hips. and
closed over the bosom by row of
large buttons, short, very full petit
coat Of the same, and beneath, Just ap-
parent above the high boots OF black
shining leather, full inexpressihles, not
gathered 10, but floating Just above the
knee, and displaying about an inch of
the snow white stocking, formed their
novel and singular attire. Each held
IN her hand low, Aathat, with a large
bTim, adorned with a cord and tassel.
IL was soon whispered through, the
chapel that these young ladies were the
fast specimens beheld in Western Eu-
rope of the new sect formed at ST Pc
tersburg among the women there, and
which has increased 10 such an alarm
ing degree that the Government IS be.

cares and responsibilities of the male
sex; work st all kinds Of manual labor,

called that OF the 'Nihilists, :"
