Fashionable Women.

Fashion kills more women than toll and
sorrow. Obedience to fashion is greater
tran sgreSsion of the laws of woman's ma
ture, a greater injury to her physical and
mental constitution, than the hardships of
poverty and neglect. The slave woman at
her task will live and grow old, and see two
or three generations of her mistressess fade
and pass away. The washerwoman, with
scarce ray of hope to cheer her in her
tolls, will live to see her fashionable sisters
all extinct. The kitchen maid is hearty
and strong when her lady has to be nursed
like sick baby
1t is sad truth that fashion-pampered
women are almost worthless for all the
good ends of life; they have but little
force of character; they have still less
power of moral will, and quite as little
physical energy. They live for no great
purpose in life-they accomplish no great
ends. They are dolls, formed in the hands
of milliners and servants, to be dressed
and fed to order. They dress nobody, they
bless nobody, and save nobody. They write
no books, they set no rich examples of vir-
tue and womans life. If they rear chill
drcn, servants and nurses do all, save to
conceive and give them birth. And when
reared, what are they? What do they ever
amount to, but weaker scions of the old
stock? Who ever heard of n fashionable
woman's child exhibiting any virtue and
power of mind, for which it became emf
nent? Read biographies of our great and
good men and women. Not one of them
had fashionable mother. They nearly all
sprung from strong minded women, who
had about as little to do with fashion as
with the changing clouds.

CUBA.

HAVANA, Jan. 27.-The Dirario reports on
the authority of official dispatches that Palma,
Dariano, Cobre and other towns are full of flu
tive insurgents and their families, and 5000 of
them have presented themselves to the author
tiles and received amnesty. At Barocoa sew
eral chiefs gave themselves up and were par
doned.
Other accounts from the interior, received
through Spanish channels, represent that the
insurgents are surrendering at many points to
receive the benefits of Gen. Dulce's proclama-
ton, but in the vicinity of Santiago the rebels
continue very active. They carry off all the
slaves and harrass the troops, and it is report
ed that they have destroyed by fire halt q
dozen of the large plantations near the town
HAVANA, Jan. 25 via Key West 27th.-A
reign of terror has commenced in this city
caused by breaking out of open hostility be-
tween Cuban and Spanish factions whose ha.

| On the same night the volunteers shouted

| The volunteers by their behavior provoke the

of the regular force are opposed to giving such

older volunteer organizations behave well
having become somewhat accustomed to disci
plne. The conduct of the first battalion dur
ing the Louvre affair and afterwards is partic
ularly praised, but the newly recruited volun
teers are understandable, and foreigners hav,
