On MAIDs.-A sprightly writer cx-
presses hi, opinion Of old maids in the
Go!lop,rs mauucr: II am inclined to
think that many Of the satirical asper-
,ions cast upon old maids tell more to
their credit than generally imagined -
Is a woman remarkably neat in her per-
sony She win certainly be an old
maid is she particularly reserved
toward the cifcr scx7 she has all
the squcamishocss Of an old maid is
sic frugal in her expenses and exact in
her domestic concerns? ? She is cut out
for an old maid Aud il she is humane
to the animals about her nothing can
save her from The appellation Of an old
maid. Ia short, | have always found
that ncatness, modesty, economy, and
humanity aro the ncycf,failisg charac-
teristies Of that terrible crcature-'old
mnid.'

A certain green customer, who was
stranger to mirrors, and who stepped
into the cabin of one of our ocean stea-

glass which he took for door said:

start?'
Getting no reply from the dumb re-
Election before him, he again repeated:

mobs in Memphis, says: Raa 80
-" The massacre of colored persons
IN the streets of Memphis was follow

rioting in, Memphis has not been told
in print, No peryersion of the facts

the rioters in New York in July, 1863

During the war, the Southern people
should remember, the negroes were
peaceable even to docility--neyer rose

protected property, as they might have
done IN many quarters almost with
impunity. They are entitled upon this

The indiscriminate shooting down of
negroes whenever they made their
