Equal Things.

The Chicago SOrosis (the newspaper,
not the Club has the following logic
Two things can be equal, but not the
same. ...-r
Woman does not claim mans sphere,
first because she does not want it, and
secondly because such a claim would
be nonsense.
Adaptation and fitness are the con-
ditions precedent to the exercise of
any right or function.
The heart and brain can not change
places, or perform each others work,
but who will say that both are not
equally important?
Do not the nervous and arterial sys-
TENS run parallel, and together ramify
every portion of the human system?
Can the nerves say to the blood,
't-you are out of your sphere when you
persist in following us into every min
ute part of the-bOdy ?D
Thus in the body polite should the
two elements enter, man as head, wo-
man as heart, both equally important
and necessary.

Old Maids.

There is a stigma of -reproach cast
upon the term, cold maid"-tOO often
justly so, I admit. But where does
the fault lie2 I know two women
who may be classed in this category
unmarried, 40 years old, or thereabouts.
Both are of good family, the daughters
of wealthy men. The one, some
dozen years ago, finding, as no sensible
woman can fail to find, that fashion
able life had nothing in it to satisfy
she made a stand for herself
She told her family that she must
have a life of her own. She had no
especial gifts, except a remarkable ap-
titude for business, inherited FROM, her
father. In quiet way she had turn
ed her attention to fruit-grOwing, a
branch Of industry offering many at
fractions to her; and into that bust
ness she determined to enter. For
tunately, she had sufficient money, left
her by her grandfather, to be able to
carry out her plans despite the sneers
of her fashionable acquaintance, and

the home circle. She established her
self on a fruit farm in the western part
of this State. Her work prospered.
Now she is the owner Of several hun
dred acres, and has constant remuner-
ative occupation of a kind agreeable to
her. After a few years, her father
died, and instead Of the rich man he
was found to be bankrupt. This
daughter had comfortable home and
support to offer her mother and inva-
lid sister. She has quite a settlement
of wOrk-peOple, men and women, to
whom she and her sister minister in
various ways. In fact, she lives a
life which is useful to others, and de-
velopes her own powers, and in the con-
seriousness Of that she finds happiness
and peace.-["New Wine in Old Bot

Ex-President Johnson had enth usi-
astic receptions at Oharlotsville and
Lynchburg, Va, on Thursday; was
banqueted at the Norvell House, in
the latter city, in the evening; gave a
public reception to the citizens yester-
day, and last night he and his party
left Lynchburg for the ex-president's
home IN Greenville, Tenn, where an
other reception awaits him. At
Charlottesville, according to the
Lynchburg Virginian, he made some
Of the happiest speeches, after referring
to the "aggressions" and ''usurpations"
of Congress, he said, in conclusion,
that in retiring to his rural home he
would bear in mind the advice of Ca
to, 'sto pray for Rome"
These ovatiOns are in striking con-
trast with the reception Mr.. johnson
met from the same people about eight
years ago, since which time he has
never traveFsed this Southern route
to his home. According to the re-
corded history of that time Mr.. John
son @Iefb Washington city on his re-
turn in April, 1861, and on the 21st of
that month he suffered personal peril
at Lynchburg, Va, being groaned and

ed to take him from the cars to hang
him. The Memphis Avalanche, of
April %, exultantly described his
having his nose pulled by infuriated
men, backed by mobs, at Liberty, Va,
and at other places along his route
from Washington to Tennessee y
in all probability many of sdhe in
furiated men'' who assisted at the
nose-puuing in 1861, and would have
cheerfully taken part in the threaten
ed hanging, were leaders in the ova-
ton Of 1869. Who has changed?

Not to be ENLARGED.

Those New York journalists who
give attention to the changes of fash
ion, announce that there will be but
slight, scarcely perceptible, change
in the bonnet this spring. It's size is
not to be disturbed, and those ladies
who did not use up their last years
bonnets can now have an opportuni-
ty to make them useful for another
season without in the ledst doing vio-
lence to the laws of fashion. To
those who have thin purses, this will
be good news, and it is for them and
their hard pressed husbands that we
make the gratifying announcement.

For the Ladies'.


Tue N. Y. Post holds to the notion
that women need not wear an ugly
dress in order to emancipate them
selves from their slavery to fashion.
They Ike to look pretty and have a
right to indulge the taste. It does
not see swhy sensible women should
not combine to settle upon some fash
ion Of walking dress, like the very
pretty, modest and yet convenient
short dress which was generally.worn
last year, and adhere to that as a
street costume, tolerating no arbitra-
ry change. of cut prescribed by the
fashion tyrants. Then, if they would
agree upon some equally sensible and
tasteful style of evening dress, and
absolutely refuse to change this style,
no matter what Paris or London says,
their emancipation would be as near
ly complete as seems practical. With
such a set system Of dress there would
still remain room for the exercise of
individual taste in the choice and
harmonious arrangement of cOlors,
and in the selection of material. 1t
would be possible to dress as richly,
as brightly and as soberly as inclina-
ton dictated.

Reduction or lie Army.

The order adopted by General SchOfeld
for the consolidation of regiments now in
service, in accordance with the provisions
of the new law for the reduction of the
army, is printed. The cavalry and artil-
Iery regiments remain unchanged. The
forty-fve regiments of infantry are to be
consolidated into twenty-five. Several
Majors, two hundred Captains, and about
four hundred First and Second Lieuten-
ants, pass into the list of those awaiting
orders. Whenever officers are on leave or
otherwise, their places will be filled from
the next in rank, and they left on the list
of those in retirement. The twenty-five
regiments will constantly have a full COM
plement of officers. The four eOlOred regi-
ineuts will be formed into two, to be known
as the oath and 25th. The four veteran
reserves will be consolidated with the ac-
tive regiments, and men unfit for duty at
once. mustered out, if they 50 desire. The
staff corps are not consolidated.

A strange but probably true story is
fold of the burial of California miner.
He had died in a mountain digging,
where the custom had been 70 thrust
the body into a rude grave ard cover
it, with no other burial service than
"Thar goes another bully boy UNDER"
But this one had commanded uncom-
mon respect among his acquaintance;
and they thought it due to his mem
OTy that some exertiOn should be made
to give him a Christian burial. A
miner who was reputed to have been
ga powerful preacher in the States"
was engaged to act as chaplain. When
the prayer began, the rude miners all
knelt in solemn silence around the
open grave. If not ''powerful," " the
homemade paTSOn was at least YER
bose and seemed bound to improve the
rare opportunity. His auditors, unac-
.custOmed to the posture, at length
grew weary, aud from idleness and un-
easiness began to finger the fresh earth
that had been thrown OutOf the grave.
Presently half startled, half pleased
expression came. over. the features of
one and then another of the company.
Then looks were exchanged; then
whispers; and these grew louder until
they reached the ears Of the preacher.
He opened his eyesand looked around
WITH the inquiry, ''What is il, boys?"
Then suddenly, as he saw the spark.
ling scales in their hands, he shouted
/" Cold, 53, lingo : aSsd tbe, richest kind
o. Ollgg5ag.5 The congregation IS dis
missed"
The corpse was pushed aside; and
every man present began prospecting
the new digging at once, the powerful
preacher proving one of the most pow
erful diggers. The body had to be
buried elsewhere; and Dead Mans
Gulch was soon known as one of the
richest localities in California.

The Laws Relav.

A case just brought to a close in the
English Court of Chancery has been
almost as prOtracted as the famous
EsJarndyce vs.. Jarndyce," but has had
a more agreeable termination. Twen-
ty years ago a lady named Walter was
engaged to be married to a Mr.. Dan
Ger, a gentleman of some wealth. The
wedding day was fixed and all prepa-
ratiOns were made, when Mr.. Dancer
was taken suddenly i'll and died on the
very day appointed for the ceremony.
He had in'the meanwhile made a will
bequeathing all his property to his in
tended bride. This will was stOutly
resisted by the relatives of the de-
ceased, and the suit became apparent
Iy interminable. The lady married
another gentleman and had several
children, all of whom died in infancy,
and about two years ago she herself
died. The heir law, brother, has
now succeeded in obtaining a decree
from the Court of Chancery, esta hlish-
ing his right to the property, which
has a value, notwithstanding legal
charges, of about 100000. The for

If any of the readers of the Courier
does not know, and would like to-
know how to make excellent corn
bread without the aid of soda, sour
milk, baking powder, or other poison.
Gus or unwhOlesome ingredients, let
them Try the following method:
Moisten any desirable quantity Of
corn meal with cold water. Then
add boiling water sufficient to make
thin batter. Nothing more is needed
but a little salt.
Bake in a pan, in a hot oven, for
about twice as long as soda bread. It
is good either warm or cold. PFy il,

The CTHK KofAIanos

The city of Alamos, recently de-
stroyed by food, was the Athens of
MexicO. Its women were reputed to
be the loveliest and most intelligent
throughout the Republic, and it's eiti-
zens were highly spoken of as con
trasted with those Of other populations.
There was a great deal of wealth. re-
fnement and luxury among the class
es. Alamos, as a city, had fame be-
fore Ae metropolis Of New York was
kH I'm. It is old among the many
old towns Of Mexico. Surrounding it
have been some of the richest mines in
the world, from which the city had
its chief support. At the time of its
destruction it contained a population
of about seven thousand souls. The
food was preceded by a terrific whirI-
wind and deluge that lasted seventy
two hours. The river was. swollen TO
great height. Houses were swept
away, and whole blocks of buildings
thrown down. Houses were unroofed
and blown to skaters, tiles and like
material were scattered through the
air like chaff, and strong trees were
uprooted as if they had been corn
stalks. The best part of the city is
totally destroyed. About the only
buildings saved worthy Of mention
are the mint, the church; and the old
State College. These stood on high
grounds, and this advantage, with
their solidity, saved them. DR.. Hill,
an American resident, had three
houses carried away, and is a loser to
the amount Of about $4,000. T.
Robinson Bours, an American doing
a banking business, had his banking
house swept away. Sixty dead bodies
have been picked up.

man in Peoria, H., swallowed glass but

known her trouble. Her aunt, who hap
pened to be in the room, saw at once that
she was choking and that prompt action

directing another child to pound the back
of the one she held. The prompt action
was successful, the button was removed,

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY AT A WEDDING
"A minister named Anthony, who
was performing a marriage ceremony
in Andersonville, Georgia, on Thurs
day last, while in the middle of the
ceremony, was interrupted by the
step father Of the lady, who ordered
him to desist. He demonstrated with
the intruder, telling him 1t was too
late then, and that he ought not to be
guilty of such unseemly conduct. The
mans response was the raising and
the firing, at almost point blank
range, of a double barrel shotgun
loaded with buckshot, the entire load
taking effect in the lower part of his
victims stomach. The brave old man
fell to the floor, but by a tremendous
effort raised himself up, and saying,

the ceremonys and pronounced the
couple man and wife. He then fell
over and expired.
