lives, eed!-we, that is, society,
must bear the responsibility. Its
not the poor women and their pride
that are to be blamed; it is we and
our folly that make the public opinion
to which they sacrifice everything
that is most precious and sacred, who
are the real sinners. Now when the
Biddy question has become so i'm
portaut, it is perhaps worth while to
think of this little. Suppose, dear
madam, that we should begin re-
formation in the parlor, and free our
minds of the feeling with which do
nestle service is usually regarded,
by being humane and courteous mas
tiers and mistresses.
If some good angel should smile
some morning from the roof of the
magnificent Park Bank-and the
Easy Chair beseeches the reader not
to expect it of the worthy stout
angels who permanently reside upon
the fascade-and announce that he
would straightway introduce a race
of neat-handed Philises, and artistic
not less skilled than Monsieur Blot,
would we not gratefully build him a
statue in the Central Park ? But if
we doubt and despair of angels, why
not cultivate an opinion that domes-,
tic service is not to be condemned by
women, and by removing snch stig-
ma as may now rest upon it, persuade
these hapless women of whom we
were speaking that it is quite as hon
orable and ladylike, quite as harmo-
NOUS with the truest ''pride," to
serve IN a household as to sew in a
shop, or starve in a garrett, or fauntI
in gay dress at the theater with
gentleman friend 9'' It is among us
who sit in the parlor that the real
feeling in regard to the kitchen takes
its rise, and that dirty fountain must
be purified at its source at not at all.

Now WE SEE 1.-THE genial editor of
the Oshkosh ISmes-one OF the young
Democracy-explains what is the matter
with the Democratic party. We quote
"The trouble with the Democratic
party is, that it has permitted itself to be
narrowed down to the dry bones of a
skeleton organization, and there it will re-
main until live men take the lead and
breathe into it spirit of progressive
action that will make It's future worthy of
its past history. We are doing nothing,
because we have men at the head of the
party who are afraid to act themselves
and refuse to give others an opportunity
of acting. Well, the end will come some
time. There will be either resurrection
or an eternal Sleep"
! Some of the "drying bones" are Fl. l..
Palmer, Sat Clark and Geo. Fl. Panl.
When these bones are broken, then look
out tor that eternal Sleep MiZaoauhee
