The STBoNa- -M1NpEp.-Mrs. Elizabeth
Cady Stanton has started on new hobby
in the woman's rights movement. She
repudiates the halfway bloomer costume,
and goes in for an entire similarity in the
dress of the sexes. She says: s.T6e true
idea is for the soxes to dress as nearly
alike as possible. We have seen several
ladies dressed precisely like gentlemen,
who appeared far more elegant and
graceful than any real man we ever saw.
A young lady in Fifth Avenue, dressed
In male costume for years, travelling all
over Europe and this country. She
says it would have been impossible to
have seen and known as much of life in
woman's attire, and to have felt the in
dependence and security she did, had
her sex been proclaimed before all Israel
and the sun. There are many good
reasons for adopting male costume.
First, it is the most convenient dress
that can be invented; second, il Il wo-
man should secure equal wages with man
for the same work; third, concealment
of sex could protect our young girls
from those terrible outrages from brutal
men reported in all our daily papers"

To the People of South Carolina /.
The above Company was organized in 1866.
in consequence Of the Wholesale forfeiture OF
Southern policies by Northern companies. The
unparalleled success Of the enterprise has
forced several Of these companies to restore
their Southern policies, from the fact that they
could not operate in our midst without the ap-
pearance of honesty.
We keep all our money at homo to build ND
our impoverished country-every dollar Of
premium being safely invested in the State
from which it is derived. The institution is
purely Southern, and hence should appeal
with great force to the patriotism and sympa-
thy Of every Southern heart.
'Tis not our purpose to make war Oh other
companies, but to exhibit the special adysn-
tages offered by this purely Southern Compa-
ny-founded on patriotism and eolid wealth.
LIS ratio OF assets to liabilities-the true test
OF company's strength, is second to none on
this continent-being nearly 800 to 1OO
Whenever and wherever we have presented
the claims Of this Company, it has not only
enlisted the sympathies Of our people, but has
also secured their hearty cooperation. We
have secured 500 policies in Soxth Carolina
since the 10th of February. We number
among our Directors Gen. Wade Hampton and
Col. VIM. Johnston, gentlemen well known to
every citizen of South Carolina. We appeal
personally to the people of South Carolina to
assist in pushing forward this deservcdly
popular Southern institution.

The Legislature at its last session passed
several bills Incorporating and granting aid,
In one form or another, to various railroad
companies. Since the adjournment of the
Legislature these bills have remained in the
governors hands; but thus far, we believe, he
has signed only pne-that granting State aid
to the New Orleans, Mobile and Chattanooga
Railroad Company. 1t is stated that the
governor favors works of this kind, and espe-
cially those projects which look to a compile
ton of railway Communication between this
city and Texas, Eut that he has been induced
to withhold his signature from most of the
railroad bills by the fact that, in the aggre-
gate, they make the State liable for million
and half dollsFs annually in the way of
interest alone. Ehis statement, we believe,
includes the interest payable on bonds
already issued Tor various railroad enter
prises-even the old Nashville Railroad
which ran few miles into the swamp, and
finally, after nearly twenty years. was super
seeded by the Jackson Railroad.

Messrs. Joubert and Dumas, two very
respectable qufiroons of this city, went to
Washington to ssk for foreign appointments.
To be sure, they do not know much of public
affairs; but thjy are reasonably intelligent
men, and woulp not commit the stupidity of
acting in such matters without taking the
advice of experienced persons. Moreover,
they are but twe out of four millions of their
race, and theyf perhaps, thought that two
foreign consulslips would not be out of pro-
portion with thgnumber of the people whom
they claim to represent. But the Radicals in
Washington "don't see it in those lamps"
and so Messrs J3ubert and Dumas have been
persuaded that the interests of their race re-
quire them to st9y at home. 1t may be that

At Peace.

TITS twilight the murmurous voices
OF maidens that stroll with their lovers
Beneath the dark ilexes' shadows
Come faint to my ear.
No cloud in the faint azure heavens,
Is foating-the moon in its fullness
Looks down with mild face of pity,
And night holds its breath.
Numerous under the grasses
The crickets are ceaselessly chirping.
Above them the luccioli tighten,
And all is at peace!
At peace sy, the peace Of the desert
The silence, the deep desolstion,
That comes when the blast has swept DER Us
And buried odr hopes.
At peace when the music that thrilled Us,
The hand that its harmonies Weakened,
The voice that was soul to the singing,
Alike are at rest.
Al peace az, the peace Of the ocean,
when past Is the storm where We foundered,
And eager and bresthless the morning
Looks over the waste. ". VS..

Mack, the correspondent of the Cincinnati
Enquirer, has discovered the reasons which
prompted Gen. Giant to the appointment of
Messrs. Stewart, Borie and Hoar. Stewart
gave him house IN Washington; Borie was
the largest subscriber for the purchase of the
house which was presented to him in Phila-
delphia, and Hoar gave him a library. Hence
Mack thinks that the presidency may now be
considered the great American gift enterprise.
