4 WoMANs HABIT.-The cycling of
woman by womenis one the most offensive
manifestation of superciliousness now 10 be
met with In society. Few Obstrvant persons
can have failed TO notice tho manner In
which one woman, who II moi perfectly we'll.
bred, OF perfectly nd-hearted, will eye
over another woman, who she thinks is not
in such good society, and above all, not ut
the time being in go costly dress as she
herself is in. 1t is done everywhere, at par
ties, at church, in The street II Ia done by
women IN all conditions of life Tho very
servant girls learn 1t of their mislresses. 1t ia
done in an instant. Who cannotrecall hun.
dreds of instances OF that sweep of the eye
which takes in glance the whole woman
AMI what she has on from top-not to shoe.tie.
1t cannot be a new fashion of behavior; but
the daily increasing pretence of people TO
| superiority, because they can afford to spend
more money upon their backs than others
can, makes II at once more common and
more remarkable even than IL was ten OF
| fifteen years ago. Men are never guilty OF
| II, or with such extreme rarity, and then
in such feeble and small-souled specimens Of
their sex, that It may be set down as sin
not masculine, or at least epicene. But
women OF sense, of some breeding, and even
OF some kindness OF nature will thus en-
deayorto assert u superio ty upon the mean
est Of all pretences, aud ln6ict wound in
manner most cowardly, because it canno
be resented and admits fno retOrl. lftheI
but only knew how unlovely, how positively
offensive they make themselves IN so doing
not only to their silent victims, but to every
generous-hearted man who observes theil
vancouver, they would give up a triumph a
once SO mean and so cruel, which is obtained
at such sacrifice on their part. No othe
evidence Than this cycling is needed that
woman, whatever be her birth or breeding
has a small and vulgar soul.

AS AUSTRALIAN DIscovERY.-An Aus.

been brought under our notice which may

man named Bright was travelling overland
from Adelaide to MsIorea when, leaving the

across numerous springs If what al first sight

which on exposure to the air becomes solidl-

afterwards to that of India rubber, in which

The popularity of this gum or whatever It
may be terLied, Is that IS burns freely with

Mn. EpIToH. On Sunday morning, May 70,
took ride to Newark, Del. On my arrival
| found there assembled large body Of color
I'd ladies and gentlemen, members OF the Alrl-
can Union First Colored Methodist Protestant
Church OF Wilmington, who had met there
for the purpose of dedicating new church
OF their connection. The weather was very
unpleasant, but there was II large turnout,
suppose there was from four hundred to
five hundred persons present. The name OF
the new church is ST. Johns Church OF the
African Union First Colored Methodist Pro
testant Church. AT eleven O'Clock, A. NJ,
the President of the District Rev. Edward
H. Chippey, assisted by Rev. d. Scott and
large number of minister's arrived al the
church, and was met at the door by the
Trustees, who presented the President with
the keys. Also splendid Bible was pre-
seutcd 10 the President by lady member
OF tls church, as her present TO the Lords
house | believe her name 10 Miss Susan
/ Cummins. The President made some very
appropriate remarks on tho receipt OF tho
book and keys; he then commenced reading
the ceremony OF dedication, found on page
81 of the Book Of Discipline, assisted by
Rev, b. Scott. Passing up the aisle slowly,
on arriving at the altar the President and
oiiCating ministers entered tho stand, and
tho Rev, B. Scott read the hymn on page 1883,
before Jehovah's awful throne" At the
conclusion he offered a powerful prayer for
the onward march of the church; the Prcsi.
dent then read the 1873 psalm OF David; he
also preached the dedication sermon, from the
1871 psalm, "Peace be unto this house" Alter
the exercises were over, there was public
collection taken up to assist the trustees IN
liqlidating the debt of the church, which Is
only some two hundred aud seventy dollars
The church is very fine one, capable o
holding some three hundred or four hundred
persons, and ia finished In modern style
They collected seyenty-two dollars and forty
, nine cents. Upon the whole, everything
/ passed of finely. A SUBSCRIBER.

Registration.

The Registrars ofvoters on Saturday
evening shut up shop andeclosed thei
books in Alexandria. The Registration
lasted thirteen days, during which time thu
most perfect quiet and order reigned, moi
the least trouble, noise, confusion or annoy
ance occurred. No troops were sent over
nor were any needed. We predict the
same good results at all the precincts
where the Registers will open their books.
Put chat ID your pipe, Judge Cooley, and
smoke away.
The full number registered here sums up :
whites 29O, Blacks l445. This to the
uniritiated may appear marvellous, but does
not take usby surprise. The blacks have
focked here from every nook and corner of
the Parish and fully two thirds Of them
have registered here. The, whites have re-
manned at home, waiting for the vehicle
and Judge stanberry's opinion, which we
are assured will be here some of these
days Underthe present ruling by private
Instructions, we are satisfied, that over two
thirds of the whites are debarred the glori-
Gus privilege Of Freedoms boon. At this
precinct, not over one fifth of those. emit
tied to register under the law, have been
permitted to do SO. .''-'''s' -
