General Sickles.

Gen. Sickles, it will be remem-
bered, short time before the war,
murdered man named Keyes.-
Keyes had been seduced by
Sickles' wife, a woman of great
personal attractions and of no
toriously easy virtue. Sickles was
cognizant of his wife's guilt, and
submitted to it til it became "town
talk" and then cowardly MUIR
dered the man who had been drawn
into the meshes of guilty wo-
man. Well, this man Sickles has
received from Grant first-class
appointment, and the Louisville
Courier pays the Administration
Its respects as follows:
The best of the Radical organs
do not hesitate to condemn in the
strongest terms the appointment
of Gen. Sickles to one of the
proudest and most aristocratic
courts of Europe. They justly
hold that the life of open shame
and infamy which he led until
within the last few years, should
have been regarded as a sufficient
reason for his exclusion from all
high positions, and especially from
any high foreign position. Ii
men, stepped to the lips in vice.
and crime, must for party purpos-
es, be appointed to official place,
let the place by all means be a
mong ourselves and not in the
punctilious capital of another
nationality. Comfy and decency
in the intercourse of nations re-
ouired at least thus much.

Horrible Death.

Mrs. Margaret j. Smith, a wo-
man who had been reared in afflu.
ence and wealth died In Louis
vile a few days ago from hard
drink. The details of degreda-
ton and death are really sicken-
ing to read. She leaves three
amiable daughters and a little son
to inherit her disgrace. In speak.
ing of this case, the Louisville
Courier says;
There are many circumstances
connected with this case which
give it melancholy tone. The
deceased was formerly a respecta-
bic lady. About four years ago
she parted from her husband for
reasons not proper to state now,
leaving her home, near Boston, in
this county, and coming with her
children to Louisville. On &C.
count Of her domestic troubles, ii
is believed, which separated her
and her husband, she acquired the
baneful habit of drinking and con-
tinued it to her destruction. She
leaves four children, three girls
and one boy to battle with the
great world, rendered doubly
cold and uncharitable to them
by the sins and ignoble death of
their mother.

As man and his wife were at
work in a field in Iowa, their child,
which was in a basket near them,
was heard to cry, and the husband
asked his wife to see what the
trouble was. She delayed a few
minutes, and then to her horror,
found her child dead, with a large
snake wound around it. The hus-
band, in the frenzy of his anger
and grief, struck his wife with a
hoe which he held in his hand and
killed her instantly.

esteemed friend-one of the best
business men of Nashville-re-
ioices over the late decision of
Chancellor East, which relieves the
city of carpet-bag rule. The "ring"
had brought Incorporation to the

payers now think that, through the
intervention of the courts, the day
of deliverence is near. Our cores

"Our new Registrar is issuing
certificates to all who are entitled
to them under the law. Should

Snow Banks in Maine.
From the Lewiston journal.

from Tie Lewiston JOURNAL.
It would astonish the natives of
the southern portion of the State
to see the immense snow banks
that have continued in the noun
famous portions of the State near
ly through the month of June.
Many of them are from ten to
twenty feet in depth. As we now
write, June %, there is still
an immense bank to be seen on
White Cap, in Rumford. In the
gorges of Saddleback Mountain
may be seen a snow bank twenty
miles distant from Bethel. Prob
ably during the last century so
much snow has not fallen among
the mountains Of Northern Maine
as in the winter Of 1860
The unusually green appearance
of the forest at the present time
exhibits a curious contrast to the
snow banks peering out here and
there. 1t is truly Winter resting
in the lap of Spring.

The Cuban War Ended.

@AS OAOcsn w dT hUuGQ.
The latest adyices from Cuba
declare that the war there is over
Tor the present at least, owing TO
the prevalence of cholera and yell
low fever. These insidious dis
eases are not to be warded off by
"coat Of mail or arrow keen"
Under the whitening influence of
2 Cuban sun no wonder that the
spirit will droop, and even the en-
ergy of hot-blooded Cuban will
ooze out at his fingers ends. The
temperature of the torrid zone is
not calculated to inspire with that
spirit that Summons up the
blood, "stiffens the sinews," and
breathes hostile war on every side.
Inc epldemlcs prevail mostly
along the coast towns. And the
fact that the Spaniard is not ab-
solved from the disease renders it
certain that the war will not be
prosecuted vigorously during the
hot months. The Spaniard is
more liable to be attacked with
the yellow fever than the native
the latter being acclimated to it.
The mortality occasioned by the
last named disease is enormous.

WHAT EVERY YOUNG MAN SHOULD

/, Every young man should make
the most of himself, intellectually, NOR
ally, socially and physically.
,. lie should depend upon his own
efforts TO accomplish these results.
3. He should DC willing to take adj
vice from those competent to give it,
and to follow such advice, until his own
Judgment or convictions, properly
founded, shopld otherwise direct.
4. If he is unfortunate enough tohatc
a rich and indulgcnt father, he must do
the best he can under the eircumstan.
ccs, which will be to conduct himself
very much as though he had not these
obstacles to overcome.
5. He should remember that young
men, if they live, grow old and that the
habits of youth are oftcncr than other
wise pcrpctuatcd in the mature man.
Knowing this fact, he should "govern
himself accordingly"
6. lie should never be discouraged
by small beginnings, but remember that
nearly all great results have been
wrought out from apparently slight
cause.
7. lie should never, under any cir
cumstanccs, be idle. If he cannot find
the employment he prefers, let him come
as near his desires as possiblc-hc will
thus reach the object ofhis ambition.
s. All young men have inalicnablc
rights" among which none is greater
and more sacred than the privilege to
be "somcbodv."

FASHIONABLE WOMEN.

Fashions kills more women than toll
end sorrow. Obedience to fashion is n
greater trangrcssion of the laws woman's
nature, a greater injury to her physical
and mental constitution, than the hard
ships of poverty and neglect. The
slave woman at her task will live and
grow old, and sec two or three genera
tons of her mistrcsscs fade and pass
away. The washcrwoman, with scarce a
ray of hope to cheer her in her tolls, will
live to sec her fashionable sisters all eX-
tinct. The kitchcn-maid is hearty and
strong, when her lady has to be nurscd
like sick baby.
1t is a sad truth that fasllion-pampcr-
cd women arc almost worthless for al
the good ends of life; they have but lit
tic force of character; they have still
less power of moral will, and quite as
little physical energy. They live for NJ
great ends. They are dolls formed in
the hands of milliners and servants, tC
be dressed and Fed to order. They dress
nobody, they bless nobody, and save no
body. They write no books, they SET
no rich examples of virtue and woman
life. If they rear children, servants
and nurses do all, save to conceive and
give them birth. And wien reared,
what are they! What do they ever
amount to, but weaker scions of the old
stock Who ever heard of fashion
able woman's child exhibiting any vir
tue and power of mind, for which it be-
came eminent? Read the biographies
of our great and good men and women.
Not one of them had a fashionable moth
CT. They nearly all sprung from strong
minded women, who had about as lit
tie to:do with fashion as with the chang
ing clouds.
