TEACH THE woMEN~To SAVE.

There's the secret A saving woman at the
head Of family is the very best savings bank ever
yet established one that receives deposit daily and
hourly, with no costly machinery to manage it.
The idea of saving is pleasant one, and if "the
women" would but imbibe it once, they would
cultivate and adhere to it; and thus many, when
they are not aware Of it. would be laying the foun
dation for competence, security in stormy time,
and shelter in q. rainy day. The woman who
sees to her own house, has large field to save in;
and the best way to make her comprehend it, is
for her to keep an account current Of expenses.
Probably not one wife in ten has an idea of how
much are the expenditures Of herself or family.
Where from one to two thousand dollars are ex-
pended annually, there is chance to save some
thing, if the attempt is only made. Letthe house
wife take the idea, act upon it. and strive over it,
and she will save many dollars, perhaps hundreds,
where before she thought it impossible. This is
duty, notaprompting Of fayarice "a moral obligation
that rests upon all-upon 'sthe women" as well as
the men; but it is duty, we are sony to say,
that is cultivated very lite even among those who
preach the most, and regard themselves as ex-
amples in most matters. 'Teach the women to
save" is good enough maxim to be inserted in the
next edition of Poor Richards Almanac.

they cross Southern Kansas. They also stampede
the droves in the night to scatter them, and stea

There are also parcel Of desperadoes who follow
the business of stampeding, for the purpose oi
theft
They select a dark night, put on buffalo robe,
or, more frequently, tie something white to their

through or in the vicinity of the cattle herd
This is dangerous business, for hsrders would shoot
him at sight. Yet there are plenty Of desperate
men whom such an adventurous life suits, Judging
from the numbers who follow it. But the drovers
are men whom nothing deters; who would prefer
this wild life 70 luxury and ease"

THE TEXAS CATTLE TRADE.

The Cincinnati Gazette has an interesting ac-
count of the Texas cattle trade, which has already
reached lage dimensions and is destined to become
a great traffic. We select the following:
Zone of the striking peculiarities of the Texan
stock is what Texan calls right smart spring Of
horns These appendages are long and slim, and
spring from the head in nearly opposite directions
from each other. As the forms Of many OF the
Texas steers are more like a moose or elk than
eastern stock, 80 their horns are sometimes more
like anters. Though sometimes they more gene
rally measure less than seven feet in straight line
between the tips of their horns. One of their
most common colors is q moose color, though every
variety of tint is found among them. Their LA
bility to stampede renders the drover's occupation
precarious. A large percentage OF every drove is
lost in this way Drovers use swift horses for their
business Several Of the horses and mules are al
ways kept saddled, day and night, for instant ser
vice. A sudden snort and herd Of thousand
spring as though they were but one animal, while
the earth trembles under them as they dash away
with all the speed frightened animal can attain.
The cause is invisible, or they had no cause except
in imagination. Then those on guard mount in
hot haste and chase the frantic herd to get ahead
of them and circle them around. 1t is useless to
attempt to stop them as to stop the How OF the
Ohio river. But with feet horses they can be
gradually led to travel in circle, when they grad
ualy recover their sober senses, and after having
had sufficient exercise, can be brought back to the
starting point. They are also savage ANIMAL
It is dangerous to go among them afoot. As an
illustration of their ferocous nature, l may men
tion that some of the poor and weak frequent,
" get down and cannot rise. You 60 and help
them up, and the first act of the animal, again sci
on his legs is to make an attack on you, and per-
hans runs until he falls from exhaustion.

ENGLISH AND AMERICAN GIRLs.-In his last
letter to the Springfield Republican, Dr.. Holland
draws the following comparison between English
and American girls:
'sI have said that the Englishwomau is larger
than the American. have the authority Of q
competent and candid Engfishwoman for the state,
ment that the American woman is the handsomer.
There can be no question, Ithink. that the aver.
age American girl is more beautiful than her cous
in across the water. She has greater delicacy oi
feature, and generally finer make up. She ma
lures earlier, and, it is quite likely, fades sooner
but the fact that she is prettier is not to be dspu
ted. The girl here is, also, under the usages Of
English society," a suppressed creature, without
the freedom that favors vivacity. The American
girl is perfectly at home in society before the En-
glish girl sees society at ALL or has ever been per.
mitted to escape the eye of her governess or hel
mother. The American girl may be much toofor.
ward, but am sure that the English girl suffers
by too great bondage,
Female education in the two countries Gfert
greatly, and, singular as it may seem, the educa.
ton of the English girl is more snowy than that
the American. As general thing, the English
girl knows little or nothing of mathematics and the
natural sciences These branches in America alb.
sorb great deal of time, as you know; and you
will find multitudes of American girls who are
adopts in them. That, in the education Of the
English girl which strikes an American, is their
knowledge of language, of literature, of music and
of drawing. Everything which contributes to
chow in society is acquired by the English girl /
cannot recall among my English travelling acquain-
tances lady who could not speak French, and
several Of them have spoken French, Italian and
German with entire facility. With these languages
at command, with wide acquaintance with histo-
~ and bellies lettres, and with the accomplishments
Of sketching and playing the piano, it must be &C,
knowledged that the English girl shows for all that
she is, and that for social purposes her acquisitions
are greatly superior to those Of the American girl.

keep store. In the free high schools Of
which nearly every town in New England supports,
or helps supports colored youth is rarely found.
In and near Stockbridge, for example, there is q
colored population of two hundred, and they have
been settled there for many years but no colored
boy or girl has ever applied for admission to the
high school, though it is free to all.

TEE FLIGHT OF Mr.. member Of the
escort which accompanied Jefferson Davis IN his
last fight from Richmond, has written letter to
the Louisville Democrat, denying some Of Mr..
Polhrd's statements in his recent article in Pack
ards Monthly" 'sMr. Pollard, T" he says, "takes
up considerable space in describing the prepara-
tons made for flight previous to the fall Of Rich
mond, and then tries to show that Mr.. Davis was
frightened when he received General Lees tele-
gram. = Now, Richmond fell on the third
of April Mr.. Davis was in Washington, Georgia,
on the third of May-just one month in travelling
a distance that could easily have been made in a
day or two. Mr.. Davis remained in one camp
mot far from Charlotte, North Caroina) ten days.
When be left that camp he knew that the Federals
were ahead Of him, but there was no effort made
to get out of their reach by forced marches. Mr..
Pollard says that Mr. Davis did not forget the
money in the treasury, less than 10000. This is
said to create the impression that Mr.. Davis used
the money. This is untrue. The money in the
treasury was equally divided among the men COM
posing the escort. was one of them, and re-
ceived twenty-five dollars in specie Every man in
the brigade Ferguson received the same amount.
Mr.. Pollard says the escort was composed of five
brigades, in all about one thousand men. Our
brigade commander paid off over nine hundred at
Washington, Georgia, on the third of May. Civ
ing the four other brigsdes only nine hundred men
together, we have eighteen hundred men on the
escort. Give twenty-five dollars to each man and
we have 81, 900 81, 900 more than Pollard says
Davis started from Richmond with. It was gen.
orally understood that Pollard was one Of the edit
ors of the Richmond Eramaper during the war.
Perhaps he hates Mr.. Davis because that gentle
man refused to run the Confederacy as the Eram-
liner dictated"

New Uses OF PApER-One of the latest uses
of paper is its application in the manufacture of
pals, wash-basins, pans spittoons, etc., and,
strange as it may appear it is nevertheless true,
that the above articles, from chemically prepared
paper are superior in many respects to any before
made. The paper is rendered impervious to the
action of water or acds the utensils can be placed
in an oven till the water will boil in them; placed
in the sun at the hottest season of the year, or ex
posed to the severest cold, without the slightest
effect on them; where wood would rot and iron
rust, these articles are unaffected, and, with pro-
per usage, would be as good as new. In pals
there is an adyantage-that water will not taste Of
the material and will never fall to pieces; being
non-conductor of heat, will keep water cool. The
articles are coated with vegetable composition
which, if it does not wear off, does not affect their
durability, and does not inure them except in ap-
pearance.

Between 0aleba Swamp and Lime
Creek, in the Nation, r qe6fgissl We
saw q co1sid ideta hle crowd gathered near o
drinking. house, most of them seated and
sneDking, II " stopped to see what was
the matter. It wasi Sunday, and there
had been quarter race for O gallon of
whiskey. The first thing L noticed on
alighting was tina singular position Of
one of the horses of the party. He was
kneeling down and standing on his
hinder feet, his head wedged in between
the ends of two logs of the grocery, and
he was atone dead, having evidently run
directly against the building at full
speed, causing the house to partially fall.
About five PAGES from the horse lay the
rider, quite sense1ess, with cash in his
throat,which might haYe let out q thou
sand lives. AS said, most of the crowd
were seated and smoking.
'tWhat is all this?" inquired. "What
is the matter here?"
"Matterp after awhile answered one,
in drawling voice, giving a good spit,
and reflling his mouth with a new cud.
''Matter enough; there's been quarter
race"
"But how came this man and horse
killed?" / asked.
"Well," answered the chewing and
splitting gentleman, ''the man was con-
siderably in liquor, I reckon, and he ran
his hoss chuck against the house, and
that's the whole on it"
"Has doctor been sent for?" inquired
one of our party.
81 reckon there amt much use of doc
tors here" replied another of the crowd.
Burnt brandy would not save either of
'em, man or hoss."
"Has this man wife or children?" in
quired I.
"No children that I knows on" an
swered female, who was sitting on the
ground, a.short distance from the dead
man, smoking composedly.
"He has wife, then?" I remarked.
''What will be her feelings when she
learns the fatal termination of this most
unfortunate race?"
eyes, "sighed the female, ''it was an
unfortunate race. Poor man! he lost the
whiskey"
"Do you happen to know his wife?
Has she been informed of the untimely
death of her husband?" were my next
inquiries.
"Do know her? Has she been in
formed of his death?" said the woman.
''Well, I reckon you amt acquainted
about these parts am the unfortunate
widder."
