TILT GIL.

Through the four seasons that have passed,
and several that have preceded them, the
Girl Of the Period has been discussed without
q pause. Forgetting, probably, that she is still
a girl, the writers of the day have singled
her out as the subject of their penniest dabs
and their inkiest criticisms. No sooner does
she reach an age which permits her to pur-
chase her own gowns with her fathers money!
and dress her own hair with the BARRIERS as
sistance), than ishe meets fusilade of criti-
cism and remark under which she must sink
in shame and self reproach, or against which
she must defend herself with brazen cheek
and immodest confidence. Does she expand
her skirts with hoOpsH The critic makes an
arrow of every wire. Does she retire within
the limits Of her own contour, and hang her
skirts out of the reach Of mud and sewerage
Her observers at once appropriate her cast-off
redundancy to hang her up to the gaze of an
unsympaHEzing public. If her bonnets are
small they are too small if large, they are too
large. If she wears her hair en- lUateytdH, it is
ridiculous; if she lets it hang down
her back en- nature, it is affected. In
a word, she can neither dress, nor
act, nor walk, nor speak as she should, and she
whose duty is as imperative as it is impos-
sble, living disjointed life, only, in all
probability, to give rise to some breach of
etiquette at her funeral.
Is it not time for us to inquire into the ma
ture of our present complexion May we not
stop on the threshold of an approaching CEN
fury and bestow word Of mild Iemonstrance
on those who would throw the wheels of Time
off the track7 Our first plea then, would be-
let this Girl alone. Why our American Girl
should be in need of such incessant scolding
we cannot perceive. Surely che descended
from most worthy ancestors. In the East she
finds her mother among those who dared the
perils Of the deep and the unknown dangers
of the forest to be among the crew OF the
Mayflower. In the Middle States she sees
her grandmother, neatly and plainly dressed,
intoxicating the harmonious doctrines OF VIII
liam Penn. In the South, her most noted
ancestor herself descendant Of the I'M
known races, won q husband by importing
hex liie in his behalf beneath the war-club

The every day drama gives some tragic con-
trasts. Here, for instance, is the hangman and
the slave-catcher, Albert, who dies like babe
at n. The wretched boy, Edwards, on the
other hand, is swung up for murder done
partly in self-defense and has the life slowly
tortured out of him by a clumsy and CHASTITY
appliance of horror that makes the heart SICK
He was frantically religious; he prayed God to
have mercy upon him and everybody else; he

substantial farming languishes at the East be-
cause the Yankee cultvatOr says, 81 cannot
compete with those men who pillow up a
black prairie that costs them dollar and q
"ouarter an acre, and harvest a splendid crop
"with such tools that one man can do the work
of six" There is another serious aud lasting
mischief in this wide spread of wheat 1t is
royal grain, and taxes the soil after kingly
sort. When the Western surface is first in
vaded the settler finds a store of the most
delicate and precious plant foOd-potash left
there by annual burnings, phosphOrc acid
from ages of antecedent animal life, and
the delicate but evanescent humus and
ammonia from decay Of organic forms.
At first this teeming soil will give him S5
bushels to the acre, and, with wheat at 81 so, a
few days labor to an acre gives
him a return of $50. This is brilliant,
and he asks the generous soil to yield
him her fairness again, and again, and
tagiin. What must follow everybody can see.
There is not in our national agriculture sad
der fact than the rapid decline in the produc-
tive power of the Western States. For be it
remembered that inability to grow wheat
means feebleness for all the moro important
demands upon q SOIL A fresh surface adj
mirable machinery, the arrangement of great
war, the South impoverished, Europe hungry,
have stimulated an excessive grain growth.
But there are reasons why the decline in the
price of grain will not be such as to alarm or
dshearten the farmer. The sails of emigrant
ships whiten the Atlantic Ocean, and their decks
were never so crowded. They all want bread,
and have money wherewith to buy. Kansas
and Nebraska have a market brought to their
doors by the Pacific Railroad. Where labor il
not difficult to obtain, nor unreasonable in
price, and where the expense of transit from
the place of production does not swallow more
than a third of its value wheat must continue
to be favorite, if not the leading crop with
the American farmer. But the area on which
our crop grows has travelled westward too fast
and too far Kansas and Minnesota give too
much surface to wheat-the Atlantic slope not
enough.

The Junta contradicts alike the story of its
burial and the story that the Cubans had dl-
vided their diplomacy between Messrs. Lemus
and Macias to the confusion of both. The
Junta are agreed and hopeful-whether on the
strength Of Cespedes' triumphs or the projected
self.purchase of Cuba, the Oracles have not
said. stranger thing in itself could not
happen than the buying of Cuba by the
Cubans. Spaniards would have treated the
proposition with grim sarcasm a half year ago
but how nowi Are they not as lucky in
having anything to sell, as they are luclless
in having so little wherewith to buyP BY all
means let it be bargain if the Cubans will
have it so. If not, let them speedily drive the
Spaniards out of the island.

that by one mail he received letters addressed to
him as Rev." Hon." Col" "Mr.," and

rather exhaustive, but he can still be called
Capt" Maj -" Gen. and "Dr." OF course,
the military titles are the most to be desired,
suggestive as they are of manly bravery the
hard-fOught field, the forlorn hope, the bleeding
and the dyingIgenerally. They may also be ex-
tremely useful as safeguards against assaults to
which Western editors are sometimes liable, and
may save the expense of keeping fighting man
on the premises. Only, whom these titles are to
be had for the picking up we are rather surprised
that any one is content with anything less than.

We hope that the people of the United
States will appreciate the utter unselfshness
with which the citizens of Tennessee have de-
termined according to The NashUiUe Pressl
not to allow Mr.. Andrew johnson to leave the
State, at least in public capacity, and at the
public expense. Considering the character of
his late speeches, the temptation to elect him
to something which will take him away from
home must be well nigh irresistible; but the
Tennesseeans will probably understand that
the greatest good of the greatest number re-
quires that he should be restrained i'll his me-
anderings. We are sorry; but his State must
remember that the gentleman cannot live
forever.

The Hindus were right when they said that
the speculative and practical sciences were one.
So was Mr.. Beecher when he observed the
other day that all truth carried out runs into
the practical. Hence when it was said that
Ministers had no business to preach politics it
was a great mistake, he thought. Almost every
question that belonged to religion was pOliti-
cal question The Church of Rome has not al
ways admitted this dictum, yet its present ex-
periences in Germany abundantly justify it.
