A True Heroine.

One Of the greatest female heroes
Of this country is Miss Webster who,
resides in Trimble county, Ky,
nearly opposite Madison, Ind
Some years before the war she pro-
cured a fine estate, and made it her
home. Being q strong Abolitionist,
she soon involved herself in trouble
on account Of the negro, and since
the abolition Of slavery, she contin>
ues in hot water on account of the
same distinguished parsonage. Be-
fore the war she desired to help as
many Of them North as possible, and
since the war she is anxious to edu-
cate them as much as possible
she recently got together some lum~
Der, which was being seasoned for a
colored school house, which she was
building at her own expense.
Accordingly, last Thursday the
oarbarians OF that county and vicini-
ty S FIRE to her barn and other
outbuildings, as we'll as to this lum
Der which she had consecrated to
education and civilization.
This is about the twentieth time
she has been served in that way
She has had serenteen dreliing houses
end four barns destroyed from time
to time by her noighbors. Her
fam produces an immense crop of
blackberries, which her ncighbors
annually plundor going so far as to
Seize upon such as she succeeds in
gathering en- their way to mark ct
A year ago last August they upset
a whole load in the river.
But she holds on desperately
How she stands all these losses we
do not know. But she is brave
woman, whose autobiography should
be written, and who when dead will
deserve and probably receive, q
monument.

NECK TWISTING IN CHuRCH.-A
good story Is told Of an eccentric old
parson, who was sorely annoyed by
n habit his people had acquired
(and which prevails hereabouts to
some cXtcnt,) of twisting their necks
around every time anybody entered
the door and passed up the isle OF
the meeting house, to see the man
nor Of person it might be,
Wearied with the annoyance the
old man exclaimed one Sunday
"Brethren if you cease turning
your heads around whenever the
door opens, and keep your attcn-
ton on mo | will promise to tell you
as | preach who it is that comes in"
Accordingly he went on with the
services and presently made stop
as one of the doacons entered say
ing:
"That is deacon--,who keeps
grocery opposite
And then he announced in turn the
advent cf each individual, proceed
ing the while with his sermon as
composcdly as the circumstance
would admit, when at last stranger
walked in, whom he cried out; =
"A lttIe man with gr66n spectacle
and a drab oyercoat-dOn't know
him. You can turn round and TOOL
Tor yourselves this time"
1t is hardly necessary to add tina
Che old man carried his point, and Their
was but little neck twisting seen II
his congregation after that.

ABa11NENcE OF ROMAN WoNEN-
The ancient Romans, in some re-
spccts were in advance Of the pres
cnt age in their practical physologi-
cal knowledge This was especially
the case in the habits Of the women.
They seem to be fully aware that a
hard y race must be born Of health
full mothers, and consequently any
usage or practice likely to affect il.
iuriously the health Of women was
viewed by the State with suspicion
The muscles were systematically
educated. Frequent bathing was
required by law. Large bath houses
were established, which were places
of common resort For several cen
turies Of the best arcs Of Rome, it
was . criminal offence for a Roman
mother to drink Intoxicating liquors.
At tho time Of our Savior on earth,
and for long period after, it was
considered infamous for 4 Roman to
taste wine For a guest to offer a
glass of wine to one Of the women
Of the household was looked upon as
q deep insult, as il implied a want Of
g .ity on hcrpart History records
several instances where women were
put to death by their husbands be-
cause they smeHcd of "tomotum, -
The consequence Of this physical
raining and abstinence from all in
toXieating liquor was, that the Ro-
mans were notcd .or their endurance
and strength Had we the same hab-
its with superior Christian civiiza
son, we should astonish the world
BY cur physical health and strength.

CURT COURTESY.

1t is said that brevity is the soul OF
wit Lut not of waggery if it is cur-tail-
ment True it is that since the Spartans
cultivated conciseness, and Pausanias
wrote sententiously, the most laconic
notes have been most famous and ad-
mired. People like things concentrated,
Homeopathy is gaining ground as well
in a verbal as an herbal sense. Billings
has 1t that she doesn't care how much
a man says so he says it in few words,
Caesar sent home the three VS." from
Gaul. These were surer passports thro'h
the confines of Mortality than the ample
folios of Napoleon. Wellington inn
proved it in " sail or sell" to an elaborate
application for leave of absence. Ma
piers " Peccavi" is unequalied even by
Grants :" Push things "Multum in
Parvo" is a motto peculiarly sacred to
mining regions. Their products are of
that character and it controls even the
idioms and slang of the mountains
Gold is a condensed representative of
value; Git" has all the expressiveness
a volume of advice to depart could con
tain. Condensity is desirable attain
ment. and we hail conciseness in official
communications as we do a man who
talks business in a minute in business
hours. If language was made to conceal
thought, few words favor frankness.
For these reasons we like the style of
the following communications. Mr..
Ming was appointed Auditor and is the
present incumbent. Under late law
the Legislature elected his successor,
Capt Rodgers, who the Democrat says
will enter at once on the discharge of
his duties" 1t looks as though there
was difference of opinion on the sub
ject:
