Society seems to have forgotten all rules
of economy. Men, women and children
spend their money with 8 more lavish band
and more reckless disregard. apparantly,
to the provisions of the future, than at any
former period within our recollection.
During the war, in the South, there was
kind of imposed pseudo-economy Practic-
ed, and which it was reasonable to suppose
would become real and permanent, after the
unfortunate, and SO far as we as apeoPle are
concerned, disastrous termination Of the
war. But IN this, it seems every one has
not only disappointed him OF herself, but
has surprised and disappointed everybody
besides himself or herself; but especially
''herself., We have never seen or known
extTayagaRcs more unlicensed and exces-
sive, among the ''heFself " portion Of sOeie
ty. We do not see how it is possible for
some one or more persons, if not every one
in general, to avoid fight or foot race st
some future time with the sheriff. From
the forced parsimOny imposed during the
war, upon our people, they seem to have
become infatuated with the idea Of the most
lavish and costly expenditures. No prices
however enormous or fabulous check pur-
chasers or appear even to awaken any ap.
prehensiOns of pecuniary embarrassment
The ''herself" ones are not only enormous
in their expenditures, but are expansive in
their enormities of dress. It requires as
much lace and ribbon now to dress one Of
our fashionable women in single outfit, as
formerly to supply forty wardrObes, for as
many plain and respectable, as we'll as we'll
bred. fashionable women. SOMEBODY will
evidently be bursted by this mode Of ex-
travaganee. It is out of the question for it
to last and not work ruin somewhere.
The North, flooded with money and vice,
may afford and endure such wasting daily
expenditures; but if the people of the South
continue to ape such prodigious outlays for
show and vanity, they viii, sooner or Later,
reap the bitter fruit Of their folly In utter
bankruptcy and want.
It is time for our people to quit talking
or thinking or writing of politics and pub
lie matters; and to turn their attention to the
practice of virtue and economy-for the two
are inseperable-and to the upbuilding of
individual, as well as public, fortunes. But
this they will not do. The ''heTself" will
have her way, and go on buying and spend
ing, and spending and buying, until the
himself" takes his way to the grocery or
somewhere else, possibly to the penitentiary
or poorhouse.

A Fair Platform

The Louisville Journal Of the 15th says:
eve heartily indorse, so far as We have
seen, every platform laid down by the de-
mocracy in the north, middle, western, aud
north western States. We are for the oblit-
Grafton of the freedman's bureau bill every
where, we are for the disbanding of the last
negro soldier, We are for the cessation of all
military Law and the universal restoration
of the great writ of freedom, We are for the
aunulment all con6seations, We are for the
equal powers and rights and privileges OF
the whole people Of the old Union, we are
for the unconditional pardon Of all the pa
rolled Confederates who have kept their
faith, we are for the immediate unlocking OF
the prisOn-doors Of all prisoners held 10
captivity upon the charge of treason, and
we are for the re-establishmsnt of the re-
public upon the plan which our noble Prssi-
dent has recommended and is ezerting all
his energies 70 carry out. -fl

Ansedote Of the War.

Two boys belonging to the Lynchburg
battery. having marked good place near
a farm house on the Peninsular, stole out
to flank q shoat.' They had seen large
number go under an out building, and while
one was to creep in and drive out the ''cFit-
ters," the other was to stand at an open
ing on the opposite side with club. The
long and short of the story is. that the
farmer, not liking the near proximity of the
soldiers, bad moved his pigs nearer to the
house, and the crsWler, not finding them,
emerged on the other side. and was knock
ed into cooked hat by his comrade. He
was on the sick list at next rolI-eall and did
not leave his bed for month.
