as follows: sfANEE

aeierence OF the gentler to the ruder and
stronger sex. That is very well, no doubt, SO
lar as 1t goes; but We are unable to believe
men SO faultless or 80 entirely wise as not to
require occasionally little counsel themselves
touching their fitness for inatrimony: women

folks here that the colonists might have

DEATH OF MIR. DE Bow.-Mr j. d. b. De
Bow, the editor of De BOWS Review, died yes
terday, after a brief illness, at Elizabeth, n. j.
Mr.. De Bow was born in Charleston in 1890
He was long known as an able and industrious
statistician, and an indefatigab'e supporter of
the system of slave-labor, of which he was one
of the ablest and thorough going defenders. He
was lawyer in early life, but became journ-
alist by choice, and in 1915 established his Re-
view in New Orleans and soon made it the or
gan of the slavery interest. In 1848 he became
professor of political economy and commercial
statistics in the University of louisiana in 1853
he became superintendent of the United States
census. About this time he compiled from his
review three volumes under the title: "Indus-
trial Resources of the Southwest" which re-
mains very valuable work - 10 3a 4.
He was secessiOnist, as were most of the ad-
herents of slavery, and during the war held
some important position under jeff Davis At
ter the war he determined to devote himself
and journal to the interests and welfare of the
Southern States under free-labor system He
had long been in poor health. Mr.. De Bow
though holding what we think mistaken views
on political economy, was an able and very
industrious man, and left his mark unmistaka-
bly, upon the thought of that part of our cOun-
try to whose material interests he devoted his
time.-N. y EUeninq Post e
