Should Women Ride Astrids I

The Spectator thinks that the modified
bloomer dress worn by DR.. Mary Walker,
now in England, is ugly, and not defense
able on the ground of being more health
full than the dress commonly worn by
women; but it asserts the right of any
woman to wear the dress.
II adds that this and some other similar
matters 1t is useless to argue with
prejudice bound Britons "The true ar
Cument is the right of choice, and in
denying it society is iDjuring itself, just
as 1t Is in denying women the right OF
riding as they choose. So fixed is this
particular form of oppression that Eng
lish society will not even discuss it, re-
fuses to entertain the question, would
condemn q dozen leaders of fashion if
they made the attempt to introduce o
reform. They might walk into a ball
room dressed q Ia Josephine--that is,
undressed to the waist--and the only
result would be general disappearance
of tuckerI but they dare not for their
lives ride astride. Yet there is abso-
lutely no reason, either of convenience,
or serutIay, OF modesty, In favor Of the
side saddle, not one single argument
which ought even to have hearing when
opposed to the distinct right, subject to
the laws of morality, to ride as they
please, We do not say there arc reasons
for abolishing the side saddle, for, though
we think there are, that is not the point.
4 woman has a right to ride English
fashion, or Turkish fashion, or Chinese
fashion, if she chooses, and society loses
in refusing to copoede the choice"

greatly did I underrate the audacity and
impudence of the faction now ruling the
entire country with an iron rod-and who
laugh in the face of thoir credulous fol-
lowers. Surratt, we are now told, is to
be whitewashed into witness against
Mr.. Davis, or rather he is to be manipu-
lated by the immaculate Holt, and
through the Vaccinations Of some
new Conover, (perhaps the Canadian

armies during the late war, and more
recently turned up among the Pope's

"that Attorney General Stsnbery has
decided upon the trial Of JEFF. Davis, at
Richmond, sometime duiing the spring

this country, will probably be placed
upon the witness stand at the Davis trial,

equal of this compound of audacity,

in the plot to assassinate himself?

An Incident.

A few weeks ago two ladies, awaiting
conveyance to the cars met in the parlor
of hotel at Lenox, Massachusetts. One
was from this city, the other from Staten
Island, New York. Both we're clad in
deep mourning, and it was very evident
those garments of woe covered broken
hearts that beat responsively. Each fsl,
strangely drawn toward the other by a
sympathy of kindred sorrow; and, after
repeatedly exchanging kindly, tender
looks, the New York lady addressed the
other:
you, too, journey this morning p
"Yes; we have long journey before
US"
How far do you goY'
"To St. Louis. We reside there"
"You Missourians must have had a
sad experience during the war. felt
for you, assure you"
Indeed, madam, no one can tell
what a great many of us have gone
through"
ibid you sympathize with the South.

Eyes, madam, for | am a native OF
Missouri, and knew the sufferings Of
the people in the seeded States, and
more than all, my son, my only child,
was a Confederate soldier, and was
killed. 1
And 1, too, my friend, lost my only
son in the Federal army"
And with that the mother Of the Union
soldier arose, crossed the room, grssped
the hand and kissed the cheek of the
mother of the Confederate brave, saying
as she did so, your son and mine laid
down their lives, each convinced that he
was doing his duty"
This incident is strictly true. That
noble Confederate boy was inexpressibly
dear to the writer of these lines. God
bless that New York woman, whose tears
for her own dead so lovingly mingled
with those of the mother of her son s
slain enemy. The war is over; the chill
dren arrayed against each other are
killed their mothers are at peace.-Ais.

That the serpent is endowed with the
power to charm birds which they capture
and the ability to fascinate larger animals,
and even TO influence the intellect of
man, is an old and well established
theory. A marvellous incident of this

MANCHESTER AFFAIRS.
From our Reporter in that Town.

Orr TowS.-From being place OF no
note, Manchester has lately assumed po-
sition of some little magnitude among the
towns of our old mother State. In addi-
ton to the woOlen and cotton factories,
paper and corn mills, tobacco factories
and foundrics, we have u stone-yard, iron
foundry, and any number of carpenter,
blacksmith and shocsllops, and stores of
every conceivable kind. What we need
sadly is a market-house, free schools, and
some system of relief for the really desti-
tute and needy. Our citizens pay poor
rates. but we have vet to learn Of any OF
our poor receiving any benefits thereof.
Work is scarce, money is hard to get, and
vet VIC trust that none Of us will look on
calmly and sec our fellow-creatures perish
without raising hand for their assist
ance. Those who give to the poor lend TO
the Lord and as Dean Swift once said, "lf
YOU like the security, down with the DUST"
We advise our people to be confident and
hopeful, for we cannot believe but that .
better and brighter time is in store for Us,
as it is always darkest just before day.
LADIES' MEMORIAL MEETING.-Thismeet-

RAxsoNE's CONCRETE SToNE.-The pa
tent right for the exclusive manufacture of
this stone in Virginia is 10 be sold at Bar
ton s. Rogers's office on Thursday. Here
is fine opportunity for a good investment
and for the organization of company that
will pay large dividends to its sharehold-
ers. After series of experiments, cover
ing period of more than twenty years,
Mr.. Ransome has been enabled to produce
a stone rivalling in every respect the best
natural sandstones now in use, and appa-
rently superior to nearly all in its great
power to resist the extremes of heat and
cold. 1t combines durability and cheap
ness, and in England, where it was first
introduced, it is coming into general use.
Strong testimonials have been given in
favor of the "Ransome Concrete Stone I"
BY DR.. Frankland, one of the committee Of
the board of works appointed by Parlia-
ment John Fowler, engineer of the West
Minister bridge, and other eminent build
ers and civil engineers of England, and
many scientific gentlemen of the United
States. Specimens of this stone may be
seen at Messrs. Barton s. Rogers's Office.
