TIE PROPOSED LICENSE LAW IN MAS
sACHusETTs. - The Boston Journal of
yesterday has the following in reference
to the proposed license law in that State ::
The bill reported provides that one
half of the fees for license shall be retain
ed BY towns and cities, and the other
half shall 90 into the Treasury of the Com
monwealth The license fees are TO be
graduated by the amount of business
done, and the apportioning of the same is
TO be left to the discretion of the city and
town authorities We trust no bill will
be passed, so far as Boston is concerned,
which places the licensing power in the
hands of the city authorities 1t will be
far better to have Commissioners APP
pointed TO take thiSubject in charge than
TO leave it to the Mayor and Board of
Aldermen, and we believe that the towns
would prefer that Commissioners should
be appointed for each county

CONVERSATION WITH THE SRxEs.--
What makes these men who associate
habitualiy with women, superior to 9TH
ers What makes that woman, rwhor is
accustomed to, and at ease in the COM
pany of men, superior to her own sex in
general? Why are the woman Of France
SO universally admired and loyed, for
their colloquial powers? Solely because
they are i'm the habit OF free, graceful
and continual conversation. with the
other sex. Women In this way lose
their frlvolity, their faculties awaken.
their delicacies and peculiarities unfold
all their beauty aud captivation, in the
spirit of intellectual rivalry, And the
men lose their pedantic, rude, declama-
tory, or sullen manner. The coin of the
understanding and the heart Is inter
charged continually. Their aspirants
are rubbed off; their better materials
polished and frightened; and their rich
ness, like fine gold, is wrought into finer
workmanship by the fingers of women,
than 1t ever could be by those of men.
The iron and steel of our character are
laid aside, like the harshness of a war;
ri0r in the time of peace and security.

From the winona Republican, 25th. Ht
Our neighhoring city of Owatonna has
been agitated and excited over an elope'
ment affair which occurred there last
week, the particulars of which were re-
ceived from gentleman who came in on
the train yesterday.
At Owatonna resided o milliner, Mrs.
Myrick, who was the mother offs young
and fascinating daughter of about six
teeh.. A very respectable young man,
named Odell, had been paying the
daughter attention for some time, and II
was currently reported and believed that
they were engaged. Matters stood thus
when man from Chicago, or some city
further East, to whom Mrs. Myrlck was
indebted In the sum Of $1,000, came tC
Owatonna and made the acquaintance
of Miss Myrick. f.te q.lata. sad,
He no sooner saw her than he deter
mined to possess her. and being q man
ployed, he offered Mrs. Myrick to release
her from her obligation of $4,000, III she
would give him her daughter Whether
she required much urging or not Is not
known but she finally acceded to the
proposition. There was another party
to he consulted, however. The young
andinnocent.glrl shrunk from the idee
of being sold--bartered for price-and
that to q man whose character seemed
anything but fair, and Whose purposes
appeared colored with dishonor. Sht

lance of the mother, and thwart heI
miserable designs by speedy marriage
They took the first train going East, ant

ded, and they were Obliged 10. take 4

In the well-kept gardens of the Shak-

luxurant foliage and fine bloom of their
large beds of roses attract attention every
summer. The "brother" in charge OF
the roses says that his success in produce

RATs--How to fix xthem.-Chloride of
lime has frequently proved a sure thing
to drive rats from any place Infected by
them. An exchange says: nounce of
it scattered in the place where they come
to feed, or wrapped in muslin, and put
in their holes, where it acquires damp
ness, produces gas that is not offensive
to man, but is to rats. If chloride of
lime is moistened with muriatic acid,
and placed in drain, vault or cellar,
and closed from the air little while, the
rats will depart, because it will be death
to remain. This is also good disinfect-
ant, and will, for a time, cure the etfluyia
of q dead rat. One application Of chic
ride of lime to rat holes has driven them
away for q year, when renewal Of it
started them again. Z. 1nL ~
