Woman VS.. Female.

Bah A dose OF rhubarb IS trying |
one Of EPSON salts is repulsive; and one
Of castor oil is utterly abominable; but
any ore is cream and sugar to us compar-
ed with the disgust we feel when we hear
a woman called female. Man who is
meant when you use the word? A mare
is a female; cow is female sow is a
female-so is goose, and a duck as well,
and thousands Of other animals and birds.
Which is meant? Do you dare to employ
it as a proper specific name for woman F?
Out on you! Is lady too delicate term
for you to apply to the gentle sex? Then
use the good old, euphonious, Bible word,
acoman-the name bestowed by better
man than you, even Father Adam. You
ask, Why single you out for censure,
when multitudes employ the term-even
editors in the newspaper and clergymen
in the pulpit? We answer you, The
greater shame is theirs, for they disgrace
their vocation, and Of all men they ought
to know better and do better, or resign
their calling as guides and instructors OF
the people. If they cannot elevate the
tone of public taste and delicacy, let them
not degrade it. How it would shock his
hearers, were clergyman to read a por'
ton Of his Scripture thus:
"Now the serpent was more subtle than
any beast of the field which the Lord God
! had made. And he said unto the female
Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of
every tree of the garden And the .te'
male said unto the serpent, We may eat of
the fruit of the trees of the garden but
of the fruit Of the tree which is in the
midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye
shall not eat of it, neither shall We touch
it, lest ye die. And the serpent said un-
to the female, Yc shall not surely die
for God doth know that in the day ye eat
thereof, then your eyes shall be opened
snd We shall be as gods, knowing good and
evil.
Sand when the .female saw that the
tree was good for food, and that it wal
pleasant to the eyes, and tree to be de-
sired to make one wise, she took Of the
fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also
unto her husband with her; ard he did
eat.r-Gen al. g.
T How would you like it, my friend
Would it not CRATE little unpleasantly
on your ear? Would you not abhor the
noun female, and use it as an adjective

A MINISTERIAL MILL. We are in
formed that two Reverned gentlemen Of
the Methodist persuasion, George and
Simon Anderson, of this place, both
''chipsn from the same Old block, had q
bit of a "milln in the fouring-mili
belonging to Simon, one day last week.
1t seems that Rev. Simon, the elder of the
two brothers, got the best Of the fght,and
Rev. George went to enter complaint, and
Simon, like q little man, stepped up and
paid his $5 fne.--4ustin Democrat.
II is so seldom that such disgraceful
occurrences take place in the Ministerial
profession, that newspapers usually make
| IL handla of them. The motive, probably
is, that We poor sinful editors want TO
show that preachers are not without sin .
that they are subject to the same weaknesses
as ourselves. Let US have Charity. Be
merciful that We may expect mercy.

Irfanticide.
The population of New York increases

InfantiCide.
The population of New York Increases:
but solely by influx from without, not by
propagation. Every week the deaths ex-
ceed the births. Sometimes the difference
is equal to twenty five per cent. This is
contrary to the law Of nature and can only
be referred to unnatural causes. Infant
killers flourish in our midst. They live in
palaces; they sport superb equipages
their homes are in the fashionable quar-
ter; they are extensively "patronizcd,"
and well paid for violating the laws Of
God and man. They know why the num-
Der of births is from fifteen to twenty per
cent less than the number Of deaths in the
great city of New York. The impudence
of these wretches is refreshing. They
scarcely think it necessary 10 disguise
their vocation in the advertisements with
which they food the sheets that choose to
publish them. Many years ago one Of
them-the queen of the tribe-was sent
to the the Penitentiary; but we have
made giant strides in immortality since
then, and no one thinks Of molesting such
popular conveniences now! There is but
little "baby dropping" now. An infant
consignment to the municipal fathers was
left on the City Hall steps the other morn
ing, but such occurrences are rare. 1t is
easier by far to destroy the evidence Of
crime than to deposit the alien on door
steps. The poor as well as the rich seem
to be intent on the non-increase of the
species, and Malthus and Moloch are
lords Of the ascendant.
1t is not the fruits of RIGHTEOUSNESS
alone that are blighted and destroyed.
Married ladies of fashion who find that
maternity interferes with their pleasures,
are said to be the best patronesses of the
physicians" male and female, whose
business is to interfere With the advance
of population. 1t is unpleasant to state
these facts, but they are facts, and not TO
refrain from exposing them would be false
delicacy and breach of journalistic duty.
If the law is not strong enough to reach
these creatures except when they are
caught in some heinous overt act, let it be
| strengthened and made real terror to
these eyil-doers. The publication of their
transparent advertisements in the newspa.
pers, ought to be made misdemeanor.
They call themselves physicians" bat
not one in ten of them can show diplo-
ma, and they have consequently no right
to the title. Why do not the regular
members of the faculty take the matter in
hand. Are they, too, implicated? Some
people think they are; but if so, the
black sheep are comparatively few, and
there is no reason why the large majority
of honorable practitioners should not at
tack the gigantic evil and its promoters.-'-

"That's enough" said DANES, turning

The result was that in less than an hour
afterward, DANES Darlington, and his in
tended murderer were sitting down to
warm breakfast. the latter only intent up
on assaulting dish of smoking chops.

Irish Drollery.

lTlSU DTclIeIys
An amusing story is related Of DANES
Darlington, the eminent jurist, and a re.
corder of Bristol. Having to appear for
plaintiff in "a case at Clonmel, he let in
to the defendent in unmeasured terms.
The individual inveighed against, not be-
ing pre-. ent, only heard of the iAvectives.
After Darlington, however, had got back
into Dublin, the defendant, Tipperary
man, named Foley, lost no time in paying
his compliments to the counsel. He rode
all day and night, and covered with sleet,
arrived before Barrington's residence, in
Harcourt street, Dublin. Throwing the
bride of his smoking horse over the rail-
ing of the area, he announced his arrival
by laundering knock at the door. Bar
ringtons valet answered the summons,
and, opening the street door, beheld the
apparition of the rough,coated Tipperary
fre-eater, with large stick under his
arm, and the sleet sticking to his bushy
whskers.
SIS your master up?" demanded the
visitor, in voice that gave some intima-
ton Of the object Of his journey.
"No," answered the man.
"Then give him my compliments. and
say Mr.. Foley--he'll know the name-will
be glad to see him.
The valet went up stairs, and gave his
master, who was in bed, the early visi
| tors message.
"Then don't let Mr.. Foley in for your
lile," said> Darlington "for it is not a
hare or brace of ducks that he has come
to present me with"
The man was leaving the bedroom,
when a rough, wet coat pushed by him,
while thick voice said "By your leave"
at the same time Mr.. Foley entered the
bedroom.
"You know my business sir" said he to
Darlington. ~ have made a journey to
teach you manners, and it is not my pur-
pose to return until have broken every
bone in your body;' and at the same
time cutting figure of eight with his
shelalah before the cheval glass.
"You do not mean to say that you will
murder me in bed - exclaimed DANES,
who had as much honor as cool courage.
"No,' replied the other; shut get up
as soon as you can."
"Yes," replied DANES, "that you might
fell me the moment put myself outside
Of the blankets"
"No," replied the other; 81 pledge yor
my word not to touch you till you are on
of bedn

For THE NORTH Iowv TIMIs.
INDIAN SUMMER.

Softer than the June day breathings,
Through the green thst spring has wrought
Richer than the wealth of blossoms.
Which the 1owery month has brought,
Il our dreamy Indian Summer,
Smiling throug its realm of mist;
In its azure wares Of ether,
blending gold with amethyst,
Till the landscape all around ~,
Catch the simmer Of the skies,
And the orchards, groves, and forests,
Touch'd by heavenly alchemies,
Blend and form divinest colors.
Meliowing into light and shade,
And we feel the Master Artist,
Breathe through all his hands have made.
In the silentness Of nature,
Let us wander out alone.
And beneath the changsful glory,
That the forest has put on,
Trace, with awe, His mystic presence,
In the "bnall" and moss-clad stone,
Here ana there, through the rent foliage
Leaflets CULVER softly round;
Flake on nake, in snowy lightness
Fall and cover all the ground
Crimson, green, and orange mingle
With the brown, the sere, and old,
Through each opening sunbeams enter,
Weaving them In web OF gold;
Earth's last brusses, till the whiteness
OF the feathery months are here,
Shaking from their wings the blossoms,
or the Artic hemisphere,
Csrpeting, with down. the dwelling
or the tsnder-footed year.
Bare in bloom but rich in fruitage,
Which iiies varied call demands y
Making glad with garnsr'd haryests
Weary feet and toling hands.
So we bless the Indian Summer,
Breathe afresh Its balmy breath,
Though perchsnce it be q bordercr
On the shadowy land Of death.
'TisH "benlah" to the pilgrim,
Nearing the celestial shore,
With the toll Of travel weary,
And his wand'rings almost Ger,
Where by faith he sees ripe clusters,
On the jasper walls oerhung
Listens to the wond'rous music
Never by the earthly sung;
And he feels the air Of Eden
Through the gates for him unswung.

Loss Of the Steamer Gulf City, with
Nearly all IN Board.

From the New York World, Jan. l6.
Scarcely had the excitement over the lose
Of the Hibcrnian died away, when the pub1
lie are startled by the report OF another
disaster-the shipwreck of the Gulf City,
of the New York and Galveston line, with
the loss Of nearly all on board. Starting
from G WESTON on the 24th of December,
with twenty FIVE passengers on board.
the steamer had comparatively pleasant
weather urtil last Sunday night, strong
Southwestern set in, which the vessel sucs
ceeded in braving Monday the weather
became milder and as the day closed, cons
tinued to improve. About this time the
ill-fated steamer had approached the coast
of North Carolina, and was directing Its
course toward Point Lookout. The shoals
off this point are avoided by all mariners
as exceedingly dangerous, even in the mild
est weather. They are number!ess and in
many places are unseen Until it is too late to
avoid them. About 10 o clock on Monday
night the Gulf City plowed the sea among
these breakers and struck one of them With
force and grounded. Only three hours
elapsed before the steamer went down,
with all on board but three persons, part
of the crew-Patrick McCab who lives in
Jersey City. and Anthony Thomas and
Henry McArdie, both of whom are resid.
ents ofthis city. These survivors we're pick
ed up by the steamer w. p. Clyde, on We'd
nesday night. The names of those on
board it is impossible to procure as yet,
leaving twenty two probable deaths as
the consequences of the terrible dis

Steamboat Exp.osion-Ioss of the
Glide-Particular of the Disaster.

From the New Orleans Crescent, Jan. IA.
The steamer Glide, Captain j. +. Muse,
which left here last Tuesday evening for
Grand Ecore, exploded her larboard boiler,
about midnight, near Valcour Anne cross
ing Shortly after the explosion the boat
took fire and was totally destroyed. 1t is
supposed that some eight or ten of the
passengers and crew were killed, and some
twenty or thirty more severely injured by
being scalded.
The steamer Glide had been running
along with the steamer j. G. Blackford,
which left here at the same time for Bayou
Courtableau, and had just passed up short
time before the explosion. The steamers
j. G. Blackford and Thomas Powell reach-
ed the scene of disaster shortly after the
explosion took place, and took on board the
passengers who were in danger from the
flames which were then making rapid pro-
gress. At the time the explosion took
place the Glide was in the middle of the
river, and there was no possible chance for
the passengers to save themselves had not
the above named steamers come to the res
cue.
The steamer Gov. Allen, Capt. Tobin,
from Ouachita River, bound to this port,
reached the scene about z clock yester>
day, and took from the steamers Blackford
and Thomas Powell all the injured and
brought them to this city.
