Shall Women Ride Astride +!

In Solano county, California, not long
since, young lady was killed by falling from
the horse on which she was riding. While
her animal was running at full speed she fell,
her skirts hanging to the saddle, dragging
her for the distance of half mile, and hor.
ribly mangling her body. After announcing
the fact, the San Jose Mercury adds.
/ eff she had been dressed in q suitable
riding habit, and had been seated upon her
horse in the only safe manner in which a
horse can be ridden-that is, astride-no
such accident could have occurred. A young
lady from this city was thrown from horse
last week and barely escaped with her life.
Accidents of this kind are alarmingly fire.
quent. 1t is well that ladies who practice
horseback riding are usually furnished with
gentle horses, or they would meet with ia,
more accidents than they now do. There is
death on the side-saddle, for every woman
who follows the present dangerous fashion Of
riding side-wise. 1t is only question Of
time; they are all bound to break their necks
in the end. IF ladies would enjoy the health
full pleasure of horseback riding, safe from
such dangerous accidents as that noted above
they should wear the modest and beautiful
Turkish riding dress, and ride astride.

detective:system at all. From the hour ofhis
FIRST Inauguration up to that of his death the
thieves were all in office. Excepting Messrs
Chase, Stanton and Holt, it was impossible
almost to lay hands on an official and not
touch man made rich by his position.
This was especially the case with themoneyed
Offices. Honest men stood aghast at the i'm
punity with which stealing went on. All cries
of shame and outrage seemed unayailing.
All opposition was threwn away. Thieves
were turned out to be succeeded by thieves,
and colossal fortunes were made in an hour.
The amiable old President cracked jokes
over the rascality, and said that in his ap-
pointments he had to run his hand into a
sack of fifty snakes to find one eel. Among
the later acts of the congress that preceded
his death was an investigation into the cotton
frauds and out of great number of permits
to steal threefourths were signed by the
President
eve know that any quantity of timid men
will demonstrate at this, as likely to injure
our party. We think differently, and firmly
believe that the only hope We have to hole
our government in the hands of loyal mer
is to expose rascality and drive out thieves
To remain silent is to connive at the frauds
and protect the rogues."

General Sherman has issued a circular

General Sherman has issued circular in
substance as follows:
First. That treaties must be preserved,
but Indians going beyond their reservations
and committing crimes fall under military
control and are subject to punishment by
civil powers 7s97 ~ VI v--t S5t @
Second. The military division Is divided
into three departments, viz: Dakota, com,
manded by General Terry, the Platte, com.
manded by General Augur, and Missouri, by
General Hancock.
Third. If each state or territory viii or.
ganize battalion of mounted men, they will
be called for by department commanders, in
case of emergency, to be mustered in &C
cordance with law, and await appropriations
by congress for pay.
The fourth gives directions to the civil
authorities to be prepared to pursue at al
times horse-thieving bands who are endeav
oring to avoid the military.
Fifth, when stock is traced to reserva
ton, demand should be made of the agent
and if the tribe is entitled to annuities sucl
annuities should be chargeable with the val
lie of the stolen property. Governors o
states and territories interested are requested
to communicate freely with department com
nanders and appeal only to General Sher
man.
