Utterly Disengased Bachelor,

He is generally under five
and-twenty, for we do not al
lude to old bachelors. He dress
es we'll, but not anxiously. 1t
does not much matter to him if
his gloves are not buttoned, or
if the parting of his back hair
is not quite straight. His whole
manner is that of a man who
owns himself who has no one
70 think of when he does any
thing or says anything. He
consorts with gay fellows and
smokes great deal himself.
He doesn't mind owning to
having been out very late last
night, and being unable to find
a place for his latch key when
he reached home. He changes
his boarding place frequently,
and IN generally ahead of his
salary. He laughs at engaged
fellows and pities married ones.
He is off-hand in his manner,
US great attention in a jolly
sort Of way to the last new
pretty girl. He patronizes the
burlesqueop opera, and goes alone
with boquets to fling to the
most fascinating Performer
Even there he is fokle, and the
sylph with black hair, who is
his idol one night, is quite for
gotten the next for the blonde
in blue and silver, On the
whole, he is extremely happy
has brighter eyes, tresher
lips and nicer hair than any
other kind of man you meet,

Another Ritualistic War


Another Ritualistic War. -
The ritualistic war has broken
out in Massachusetts. The Rev.
Mr.. Fisse, of Christ, Church,
Plymouth, being ofSt. Alba
MAN proclivities, has excited
the indignation of Bishop East
burn, of Massachusetts, who
most emphatically is not of st.
Albanian proclivities, but who
regards candles, crossings,
intoning and genuaexions
made to the altar with old
fashioned New England horror;
so the offending Mr. Fisse has
received notice from his spirit
ual father that he must not
oficiate many Protestant Epis-
pal Church in Massachusetts.
perhaps Mr.. Fisse thinks that
Bishop Eastburn himself is
rather high at least in his
notions of episcopal preroga-
tive. New York Tribune.

1t would be we'll if young la
dies would bear in mind the
fact that upon the male sex the
task of providing the meas Of
subsistence is, in civilized So
ciety, almost exclusively i'm
posed F: aud consequently, when
they become distressed, and
have not the wherewjthal
to provide for their partners,
they suffer doubly. They have
not only their own privations
to regret, but yours also =
and the worlds frown, and. the
world s-oftentimes unjust
tcensure, falls exclusively upon
the husband. The wife can
hide herself from the world,
but the husband must face its
pride, its prosperity. May all
young wives be permanently
prosperous but for their own
sakes, and for the honor of wo-
manhood, we admonish them
not to let adversely, should it
unfortunately lay its iron hand
upon them, induce them to de-
part from tnat affectionate con
duct, in word or deed, which
they owe to their husbands. -

The Price Of Corn.

One member of a st. Louis firm of deal
ers in grain writes to another member of
the firm, then visiting in Columbus, Ga,
letter that will interest produce mer-
chants here, being an opinion as to the
probable future price of corn =
"Com is sure to rule higher, and if
I were to attempt to make figures, they
would hardly be credited. My opinions
are based on the following facts The
Commissioner OF Agriculture says that the
corn crop, in every section of the country,
has been the prey of numerous ills. Only
six States show an average crop. He puts
the loss in Virginia at49 per cent; Maine,
Vermont, Maryland, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois,
Michigan, and Wisconsin, at 80 to 40 per
cent; New Hampshire, Connecticut; New
York, New Jersey, Delaware, Georgia, Indi-
ana, Ohio, Iowa, and Minnesota, 90 to 30 per
cent; Rhode Island, Alabama, Missouri and
California, 1 to 10 per cent. or about one
hundred and fifty million bushels less
than full crop. This looks like high
