There are women who cannot
grow old women who without any
special effort, remain always young
and always attractive. Their num-
ber is sm ailer than it should be but
there is sufficient number to mark
lthe4wids difference between this
class and tho other. Tho secret OF
this perpetual youth lies not in
beauty, for some women possess it
who are not at al handsome J; nor
in dress, for they arc frequently
careless in that respect, 80 far as
the mere arbitrary dictates Of fash
ion are concerned nor in having
nothing to do, for these cver-young
women are always as busy as bees,
and it is very we'll known that idle
ness win fret people into old age
and ugliness quicker than over
work. Tho charm, we imagine,
lies in the sunny teff1per-neither
more Or less-tho blessed gift Of
always looking on the bright side of
life, and Of stretching the mantle
Of charity over every body's faults
and failings. Il is not much Of 4
secret. but,it is all We hayes socn,
and we have watched suoh with
great interest, and determination to

IS why tho most Of Us will have to
keep on growing old and ugly and

says that poverty is only On idea
in nine cases out of ten. Some
men with ten thousand dollars =
year suffer more for want of means
than others with three hundred. -
The reason is, the richer man has
artificial wants. His income is ten
thousand. and he suffers enough
from being dunned for unpaid debts
to kill sensitive man. A man
who earns dollar day, and does
not run in debt, is the happier of
tire two. Very few people who
have never been rich will believe
this but it is as true as Gods

Negro Operatives 10 be put on an
Equality with White.

A Washington correspondent Of the
Baltimore Gazette says:
When the first negro was enlisted in
the army Of the United States upon per-
feet equality with the white soldier, it was
as plain as it is nov to reflective minds
that either all the barriers between the
two races would be ultimately broken
down, or the mad career of the New EGG
land and Old England fanatics must be
arrested by an overwhelming rebuke by
the voters Of the country at large. TWAS,
nevertheless, a difficult task to prove 10 the
Northern laborer the inevitable result in
this respect Of continued Radical control,
The ballot" followed the bullet" equal
political and civil rights quickly ensued,
and perfect equality in governmental
positions was thereby stealthily estab-
lished. Even yet the barefsced lies Of
their betrsyers were believed by the
white operatives, who were lulled with
the hypocritical suggestions that all
these movements did not necessarily end
in social equality The time has
come, however, it is thoHght, when this
himsy mask may safely be dispensed
with. The Government has consequently
determined to employ all its tremendous
power to force compauionship Of races
in what 1t plesses to tern tie slower
orders Of society,"" and it takes no pains
to conceal it's design
The muddle among the printers here
in respect to the negro Douglass, which
was thought by some to have been set
tied at Albany, has but served to expose
the mode Of operation contemplated by
the Administration upon large scale.
Yesterday every man refusing 10 CUB
scribe to the doctrine of compspionship
and perfect social equality between the
races, was, learn, sGmmarily dismissed
from the public printing office, aud the
remaining workmen Of the cadaverous
conquered race" forced to leave their
work, and endorse, in Office hours, at q
public meeting, the nonstrous require.
menis Of the Superintendent This is q
public proclamation" excluding from
work in this institution which employs
probably more than thousand men) all
printers whose self respect revolts at out
and-out equality with the negro race.
The same means will be used in all the
workshops OF every description under
control Of the Government throughout
the country, The policy is In foil force
at the Navy Yard here, and ia all other
works under Governmental control.

NEW YORK.

NEW York, June 23.-It is stated that
ex.Miuister Webb had an interview yes
terday with Secretary Fish in regard to
the BrazilianGoyernment. He denounces
the authorities there, and says that they
have ne more respect for the United
States than for Hayti. He thinks our
Government out to give them a good

President fully endorses the course pur.
sued by Mr.. Webb. 1t appears that he
was simply carrying out me instructions
given him BY Mr.. Seward. 1t presumed
that the Brazilian Government will make
ample apologies to our Government on
the arrival of Mr.. Blow, Mr.. Webbs sue
cessor,
