elurs on Women.

4 At recent meeting in this city
at which no ladies were present,
man in responding to the toas
ION "Women," dwelt almost solely
on bhe frailty Of the sex, claiming
THAT the best among them were little
better than the worst, the chief diff
ference being in the surroundings.
AT the conclusion Of the speech a
gentleman present rose to his feet
Iald said :
II trust the gentlemen, in the ap-
tplication OF his remarks, refers to
his own mother and sisters, aud
not TO ours" ..s.rsf
The effect ofthis most just and
timely arebuke was oyerwhelmiRg-
the maligner Of woman was cover
led With confusion and shame.
This INCIDENT serves aa excel
lent purpose in prefacing a few
words which we have for a long
time had it in our mind to say
OF all the evils prevailing among
young men we know Of none more
-bligbting in its moral effects than
the tendency to speak sHghtingly
of the virtue OF women. Nor is
there anything in which young
men are SO thoroughly mistaken as
the low estimate they form of the
integrity Of women--not Of their
own mothers and sisters. thank
God, but of others, who, they for
get, are somebody else's mothers
and sisters. t-.......-u
As a rule, no person Bhe sur
to this debasing habit is
safe to be trusted with any enter |
prise requiring integrity Of charac-
ter. Plain words should be spo-
ken on this point, for the evil is
general one and deep rooted. III
Young men are sometimes thrown
into the society of the thoughtless,
they have no more right to meas
ure other women by what they sec
Of these than they would haze to
estimate, the character Of honest
and respectable citizens by the de-
Yelopments Of crime in our police
courts. .: .t.f4r.
Let young men remember that
their chief happiness in life de
pends upon their utter faith in wo-
men No worldly wisdom, no mis-
philosophy, no general
zation, can cover or weaken this /
truth. 1t stands HIKE

for burial, and the remains we're to
be sent to this city for interment.-
His sister, who was present at the
time of his SUPPOSED demise, ar-

and made Preparations to receive
the melancholy cortege, On Mon

the depot, but the object Of their
search was not there, and they
received word that the funeral par

went to tue depot again yesterday,
but instead Of the corpse there came
adispatclIastating that Mr.Namen
showed signs of life. A dispatch,
received at a late hourlas evening,
stated that he had been removed
from his coffin and was sitting up
in5bed. Whatmust be the feelings

REMARKABLE INSTANCE OF PET
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. six, years ago
Mr, Amos BroughtOn died in
Wayne county, in this State, and
was buried there. After his death
bis widow and children moved to
Buskirk's Bridge, in this county,
where they now reside. A few
days ago the family of the deceased
resolved to bring the eremains of the
father from Wayne county and
have them deposited in a cemetery
near their present residence. In
fnrtherance of this purpose the
grave was opened and the coffin
but all ordinaryelforts to
Lift it from its position proved in
eRectual. The coffin lid was there
from removed, when it was found
that the body was in the most
perfect state of petriiication. 1t
was covered with a dry mold,
which, when removed, revealed a
surface almost as white and as pure
as marble. The body showed not
the least particle Of decay. Every
feature and lineament was perfect
lY preserved, and when stood up
right it presented the appearance Of
a finely ehiseled statue. When Mr..
BrougAton died, he weighed about
two hundred pounds, whilc the re-
mains had increaqed in weight by
potIihcation to eight hundred
pounds. Before the body was in
erred at Buskirk's it was seen by
he family friends and many others
here. 1t is the most perfect and

wished no circle of glittering bayonets
around the herd of ignorant negroes to

Every man, white and black, who was
entitled under the franchise law to vote,
was allowed to do so without molesta-

The Fayetteville NeaCs states that the
total vote cast in that county is $50, Of
which $50 were for the Democratic ticket.
The Meas says:
1--WE never knew a more peaeeable and
orderly election, held in the county.
Men Of all cOlors and opinions, who were
Loyalty qualified, and chosen so to do,
came up to the polls and cast their votes.
This election, too, was held strictly in
accordance with the Franchise Law. For
after the Governors proclamation was
issued setting aside the Russell registra-
ton, the only alternative left was to fall
back upon the registration prior to Rus
sells day. This was adhered to to the
letter. and no man, as far as heard from,
ever rendered his vote unless it was
backed by a certificate Of date anterior to
aup1intment Of Russell Then no objec-
ton can be raised TO the election on the
Ground of illegality. We have no doubt
but that Brownlow intended to close up
the gate entirely, but was too slaw in his
recOning."
The NciCS states that the white lead
crs Of the Radical party did not vote, bu
by concert stayed away from the polls
This was done perhaps to give Brown
low an excuse to throw out the vote 0
the county in the election for member o
Congress, 50 as to elect Tillman, if h
could get votes enough in the othe
counties Of the district This is despi
cable game, but it is characteristic of tn,
