B SLANG PHRAsRs.-Our streets and
places of resort arc redolent Of slang,
Its use is growing with our people,
Nothing more becomes = young woman
than simplicity. Beauty unadorned,
is adorned the most" (Modern fashion
perverts tho sentimental the poet, and
restores tho "simplicity" Of the fig
leaf.) Simplicity in dress, behavior
and speech-thc whole crowned with
modesty-these arc the sweet and en-.
during charms Of woman.
Not long since, in our evening walk
on Main street, we were n few PAGES
behind trio of young people, two oil
which were girls, owning soft, low
voices. They were so sweet and full OF
the music Of youth, that we felt we
might listen to their tones forever-that
is, until we became sleepy or hungry.
One of the girls frequently called the
young man an sold hoss," and repeat
eddy requested him to "git." How
merily they chuckled as these phrases
rolled from their little mouths ! Pres
sently we were fairly startled rs n Of
the girls exclaimed at the end Of an ami.
mated discussion respecting a prevailing
fashion, Well, Lucy, you can just bet
your bottom dollar that I 60 my whole
pile on short skirtsl" As we recovered
from the shock, our 6rst impulse was to
step forward and beseech the little
Lucy not to risk her bottom dollar"
Why should she? But We thought bet
ter Of it, and turned upon our heel and
walked in the opposite direction, won.

USpERGaouND TRLE8RApHs. - The
system of underground telegraph lines
insulated with an asphslte compound,
noticed so favorably in the Paris Exhi.
bition, has lately been tried with highly
satisfactory results by the Royal Engi-
neers in the yard.of the Brompton Bar
racks, at Chath7m, England. The
system, the invention of Mr.: Donald
Nicoil, consists in laying down a series
OF rigid sections, or rods Of ssphalte
containing tho wires, in trenches in the
earth, as lengths Of iron gas-pips are
laid. These sections are in about twelve
feet lengths, the conducting wires pro-
truding at the ends, and being alter
natsly left straight and twisted into
" eorkscrews." In planting the lines,
tho straight ends of n section are
pushed into the "corkscrews" Of the
next, and so on. The blow Of q ham,
mer upon the corkscrews" ensures
perfect contact, and when the junction
is filed In with melted nsphalte perfect
insulation is also effected. In this way
a dozen joints may be insulated at once.
A prominent feature Of this systcm Is
that the insulating material is poured iu
at a temperature considerably above
that Of boiling water, so that II any
moisture settles upon the ends Of the
sections it is driven of in tho form Of
steam as soon AS tho melted insulatoI
reaches Il. The cost Of laying is Sl00

CONGRESSIONAL CASDIpArE.-The Hum
boidt Register aud the Belmont Reporter
state that A. P. K. Stafford, the U. s.
Surveyor General Of this. State, is likely
to be a candidate for Congress at the
next State Convention. This is the.
first we have heard Of It, and it strikes
US rs a little singular that tho srst an-
nouucemeut Of Il should appear in the
Democratic papers-as Mr.. Stafford does
not belong to that boat. Here is what
the Reporter, of last Saturday, says:
"For the benefit Of the half dozen Radicals
in this section who aspire to 4 scat in the
halls of Congress, we publish the following
from the Humboldt Register, Of the 4th inst.
We had heard It mentioned in a private way,
before seeing the extract, that the Surveyor
General was not entirely engaged in laying
vires for the reelection Of Bill Stewart to the
United States Senate, while travelling through
the country, but also, had an eye to his "
adnncement. We think Mr.. Stafford will be
Inc Radical Congressional nominee. II so,
he will be the hardest man to beat Of any Of
that PARTY whose names we have heard men.
toned 10 connection with this position, and
therefore we hope one Of our Radical chaps
out here may be nominated"
The Humboldt Regiiter says on the
subject: 1PlE sJsl taugyJ
ait is limited among tho faithful that our
former townsman and present Surveyor Cen
eral, A. P. X. Safford will be in the field a.
a candidate for Congress to 6ll the seat now
occupied by Ashley. II SAT-. has made up
his mind to enter the "hlthy pool" he Is
poipO 10 be- q hard man 10 beat for the nomi-
nation, a. be has more political sense than
almost any man in his party. He Is an IN
firing worker and 4 shrewd judge Of human
nature, which gives him a pre-eminent ad-
vantage over my candidate whose name we
have seen mentioned in connection with the
Office 10 date. II SaG. had not espcused the
cause Of Bill Stewart and the Chinese wing
of his party, there would not be . question
OF doubt about his securing the nomination,
and should he succeed in getting il from that
wing Of the party on ! universal suffrage
plank. Il will prove an empty honor. Now.
rs we Ike Saf., barring his 6dious political
principles, we are sorry to see him Offering
himself q sacrifice to = ffuitlsss nomination,
as Nevada can never be carried for the ultra
Radical policy Of Stewart and company"
Sanford Is a good man, and sent to
Congress would make . most excellent
Member. We hate known him many
years.

THAr the war and its consequences
have not been without benefit to the
white population. ofthe South, Is evident
from nothing SO much rs from the
changing tone Of public sentiment there
in regard to manual labor! Formerly,
to touch any meaner instrument than .
pen or o riding whip, was considered
beneath the dignity of a gentleman ; but
now we find the Atlanta (Georgia) Daily
Opinion discoursing as follows: "The
noblest specimen Of humanity is found
in that self.reliance and conscious recti-
tude which ever attends the honest
laborer. He is beholden TO none but
that Providence who regulates the sea
sons, and who ever blesses the soil titled
by honest labor. No tricks Of trade, no
bubbles, no sleight Of hand, no sharp
practice no sneaking servility, is nec-
essary to insure n competency by cult
waiting the soil. The a~vocation is a
noble, an honorable, and independent
one. Then, why, in Heavens name, do
the young men Of Georgia seek to crowd
the learned professions, two-thirds OF
whose members arc already bankrupt?
Why will they lie around the strest-cor'
ners from day to day, and week to week,
seeking some mental service, as clerk,
tape-measurer, or porter, when there
are thousands Of acres ofland lying idle,
and which is on the market at less than
o%nc-fourth its real value ? Why will
young men spend year after year in
cities aud small villages, practically
doing nothing, or worse than nothing,
when BY energy and industry, as farm
ers, they might in a few years become
the propristors Of handsome little es-
tates and place themselves beyond con-
tiugcueies?" And we say, too, why
have they ever done so? The reason
was that the laboring men at the South
were all negro slaves, and that made
labor discreditable ; but now that the
negroes are freed, and thsre'is nodis-
grace attached to hard work, the white
people are beginning to End out the
secret Of the prosperity Of the North,
and to desire to share in il. gr'
