THE COMPARATIVE TRAITS OF AKERI-
CAN AND FOREIGN WOMEN.

American women are cOnfessedly as
pretty, as bright. and as pure as any the
societies of the world know. When for
egners meet good specimens abroad.
they invariably award them tile palnl;
seen at home, they combine the dploplb
OF the English woman with the name
less grace and vivacity of the Fren, Ii.
As q rule, they err neither on one S de
oi the use of the trippery OF the COM
mental, nor OF the Overstarched propri-
ETY. of \ certain class of British female,
And the reason is simple enough
Their minds, their characte.s--and very
of.cn their manner even ARE natural.
Their development is the result of nat
ural causes, with few unwholesomc re-
stricti0ns. WY, then, when they go
abroad-why, in the name of ALI the
gods J. do they become sucn seryile i'm
itators of what is so far beneath them
Perhaps when they trayel--aad flate
1t has become as necessary to the Amer
lean as to the Bedouin 10 fold his tent
--they must initiate. But, then, why
they do not choose the purer models of
cot too pure society. that they only
see from the outside, must puzzle one
| who thinks moment on the subject.
The " hole aim and struggle OF the
French woman's lite is good taste. She
is rarely prude, seldom bel esprit; She
may be neither over brilliant nor too
straiglIt-laced; but she is at equal pains
| to hide her moral rs her mental defici-
encies, and she makes war to the knife
on the deuli-monde. In dress, in car
rlage, in style, she strives to be its very
antlpodes. Why is it, then. that pro-
per American woman will transfer into
her circle those very Objectionable fea.

cases were tried by the court. The
entire day was spent in arguments by
the attorneys, in the case of various
citizens against the city of Evansville.
An Injunction is asked for by various
citizens against the city of Evansville,
to prevent the city from collecting
assessments against certain property
holders, for improvements on Leet
Street, made sometime during last
Summer or. Fall, By order Of the Com
mon Council. Thematter was argued
ibys Shackelford, Parrett, and Judge
Jones for the city, and by Iglehart
and DENLY for the property holders.
The Judge will give his decision this
morning, and it is looked for with
much interest. Able arguments were
made by the attorneys en- both sides,
the best legal talent in the city being
employed.
Judge Baker is in the city to pre-
side at the trial of various causes 10
which Judge Jones is attorney, he
