The Richmond Convention.

When YOUR correspondent, "a Mem
Der" of the late State Convention, ven
tured TO call ON the Free Press and Times
and the Rutland Herald for information
concerning that by-way affair at Rich
nond of Feb. 25th, it was not so much in
the hope of obtaining full disclosure OF
the proceedings, as to see what, or how
much, they would own up, sand to direct
the attention of the freemen to the wire
workers and their way of working
1t seems the Press is innocent of any
personal knowledge of the proceedings
but copies what little the Herald says,
apparently approvingly. Had its editor
been in the conclave, doubtless he weuld
have most cordially co-operated with con-
genial spirits in "Resolving un"n'1'oastJ
to raise Cain," or any one else who would
help in the great work of dbolishtng Mt
Council cf CenSoi's. No one who should be

Red out of the field" of nominations
especiallv if Hiram should come to the
rescue.
Through the happy influence OF Tho
Richmond prelude, and the preliminary
and persistent labors of the Press, ane
others like minded in various parts OF th'
State. the results of the State Convention
seem to turn out highly satisfactory. l
only remains now for the Council abou
to be elected under these favorable aus
piees, to carry out the work so nobiy in
iugurated Let them annul the 43c

Boldly be it Spoken.

"Softly be il spoken" will do very
we'll when alluding 60 the remains of
"pastry work on pretty fngor-nails, &"
but tho subject upon which am
about to speak--somo of you, will
surely, agree with me-admits Of
more vehement language. l can tcs-
tiiy to his much, at least, that wore
| to express in words my Seedlings
towards man who will come into the
presence OF ladies with a quid Of to-
bacco Ia his mouth, and the corners
reeking with the juice Of that filthy
weed, they would be Of rather a
strong nature. ] can with safety say
that tobacco chewers are no less dis
gusting to those Of their own Sex
who do not use the weed than they
are to the female portion Of commu.
nifty. If n man is successful IN re.
moving every stain Of tobacco from
his lips, he Is not so successful in re-
moving the stain from his breath
and certainly everybody should know
that n bad breath, from whatever
cause is not a very desirable posse $.
ion, nor does it win tho posscssor
many friends.
Tobacco .chewers show by their alb.
stincnce in the presence Of those they
are most desirous Of pleasing, that
they may entertain some idea of how
disgusting their habits is TO the more
fortunate who do not indulge in that
very unpleasant practice,
What small souls these selfsamc
chewers have, any how In travel
ing, if possible, they procure seats in
the ladies car, and Immediately be,
gin forming pools Of tobacco juice at
their feet, thereby expecting to ro-
t1in their seats, regardless Of the
feeling of ladies whom they know
prefer undrnbbled skirts. / wonder if
they are aware that some thoughtful
persons measure their characters by
tho length, breadth and depth Of
those pools ? OF course not one-half
of them care, or they would break
themselves of tho unpleasant habit.
When a man seats himself beside
lady to converse with her, and the
fumc of tobacco proceeds from his
lips with every word; how difficult it
is for her to conceal the feeling of
repuguanco with she regards him /.
Would not that man feel highly fiat
tered if he knew? / have known
gentlemen whom | should have
thought uncxceptionable, had not
they possessed the disagreeable habit
of chewing tobacco, and that certain,
ly is enough to render any one dis
gusting. / doubt if there be many
tobacco chewors who would admire
their habit in ladies'.
1 should think that if anything
could put shame to tobacco chew
er, it would be TO see woman empty
ing and cleaning his spitoon, aud
washing with her hands tho stains
from the woodwork, zinc aud stoves,
If anything can take the romance
out of women's life, surely such work
as that must put to fight all feelings
of sontimentality.

But the dull aud trito sobriety Of

to cover wordliuess with the guise Of

the bills Of solvent banks represent
tho precious metals; but in both ca.

THUNDER IN CONFECTIONERY STORE
Cakes and oJusion.-During the heavy
thunder storm last evening, the confec-
tionery store corner of St. Louis and Dau-
phine streets was the recipient of good
square shake. The loudest peal, about
half-past five, seemed to centre its force at
the point named, and so severe was the
shock, that large showcase, well stored
with cakes and delicaeies, was completely
shattered, while several gentlemen and the
walters there were nearly prostrated, for the
time creating the utmost confusion and a
terrible fright. Mr.. Donsmore, who is on
night duty at the Lafayette Square Station
house, was in the store at the time, and was
quite willing to swear that he experienced
a real South American earthquake. It does
not appear that lightning struck in the
neighborhood.
