Girls, IT is said are superficial, given to dress,
fond of gossip as If boys we're not all these
things to the same degree, and as nearly IN the
same way as difference IN the sex will permit
Fond of gossip. fOrsooth! We we're sitting once
IN q cafe OF Delmonico's up town restaurant, near
the table where five or six young sprigs were
putting away at their cigars after dinner. They
seemed to be stranded on the shores of silence.
and tor five minutes not word was said. AT last
one brosched this deeply interesting subject: 81
saw BILL says he, " let's each of Us tell how he
undresses himself when he goes to bed w Let not
the delicate reader shudder In anticipation, or re-
proach Us for ireaoing on doubtful ground. IL

garments as he removed them. in a certain defined
order over q chair another wandered about the
room as be undressed himself, aud grahed every
chair with the guardianship Of separate piece
Of clothing. ibis one folded his things; another
had heard some fellow say that wasn't healthy.
and always hung his up. The one dawdled
in undressing, the other one could undress 10
five minutes. Jack always wound mp his
watch at night; Tom always eft bis till morn
ing; Dick always cleaned bis teeth; Sans some
times neglected that important duEy. Six
handsome, stout, well to do, well appointed young
men in America, in the nineteenth century,
driven to such desperate straits as this for some
thing to talk about. And who that has ever made
one Of the parties Of young men In society that

the notion that girls have monopoly OF the art Of
gossip. There isn't fault that girls have. nor a
defect that can't be matched easily with fault on
the youAgmen's eide. All that Is needed Ia the
right training Of girls is. needed just as impera-
lively in the right training of the boys. Girls
commonly repToached with being fond Of dress,
exirsvsgsDtly fond but, the truth is, that young
men are every whit as fond OF it, and 50 far as
they are able, give as much anxious thought and
az much time 10 their toilet their supposed
weaker sisters. We knew q fellow once. down
right clever, amisble fellow, who was Is fond Of
dressing himself up as any girl, and who won
himself name by appearing on q certain occa-
sion IN wsiscoat made Of some material. the like
of which had never before been seen at Newport
before that morning. SILVER of jealousy and
envy ran through the bosom OF every delicate
Paris on the piazza. There was no peace under
the Newport sun. nor could be any, until Il was
discovered what Freds vest wss made Of. and
where be got the stuff. But Fred enjoyed his tri-
umph too exqusitely TO lose 1t BY any fond dis
closure; and not till the season was over, did he
asfound the tops by the information that his
beautiful vest was made OF the Turkish bathing
towel.-[Putnsm. -. ..I ~. -.

! A Curious Relic.
A sArcHIroeHEs NEWSPAPER OVER FoRTY'Two
YEARS OLD.
IRON the NatehIsoches Times, 18Th ]

FFrem the Natehitoches Times lsthI
We have been presented by Judge BuIlsrd with
a copy of the Natchitoches Courier, bearing date
or February 20, 1877. IL is venerable relic OF
the past. yellow and faded, and its columns bear
witness to the mutability of human society, the
vanity of human hopes and the evanescent nature
of everything which makes up human lie. Among
the many nsnaes In its columns of men who were
in active life in that day. only two are believed TO
be now living-both venerable citizens OF Natchi-
toches at the present time. These are Judge @.
A. Bulsrd. 70 whose kindness We are indebted for
The paper, and our old friend, Judge Chichester
Chaplin, then young man Offering his services
TO the people a. an instructor Of ySSthN and
toches Academy. Every other name has either
been totally forgotten by this generation or IL
memory Of the pas. Even the publisher Of the
paper, Mr.. Milton Slocum. is unknown by name
or fame, though he was among the " truly loll "
of his day and enjoyed the favor Of Congress- be.
ing the Official printer of Congress, as Is testified
by q batch OF laws published in the Courier. and
signed by John Quincy Adams, then president OF
the United States.
Among she "news itemsn OF the Courier we
end the proclamation Of Simon Bolivar, then
about TO return 10 Bolivia after his exile. Active
preparations are announced to be going on In
england for the embsrkation OF troops for Portugal
with which England was then at war: petition
is printed. signed by committees OF the General
Assembly G! Louisiana, asking Congress TO accept
a transfer of the public lands Of the State on GER
tain conditions. Also peuuon from cefthiu
families asking the Legislature TO permit Mr.. Bar
thelomi Fleming to practice physe in this parish
without license.
AT that time the Texans were striking their frst
blows for Independence. and we find 10 the Cou-
rier several documents relating TO the insurrec-
lion at Narogdoches, called the FREEDMAN Re.
public"
Major John A. williams writes from his head
quarters IN that region, that the Republic Of
Nacogdoches is Totally exploded;" that he had
arrived ihe day before with IA troops,
and had been joined by Mr.. Stephen Prather with
another huge army, consisting Of "i2 Alabama
Indians and II Americans, the whole under the
command al James Bullock;' that this formida-
Bile force had captured several prisoners" and
dissolved the new Cabinet In the Stone House az
Nacogdoches,r etc. We have also the proclema-
ton OF Col. =. f. Austin, calling upon the people
TO rally TO the support Of the Mexican govern
ment; also that Of Col. b. W. Edwards rallying
he people TO the standard Of free Texas and in
dependence.
As censrsst with the present. we may state
that the latest news from the Legislature. then In
session, q dated January II. twenty-one days old,
and the latest from Europe bears the date OF
December 10 Of the year before. Truly the old
times were not altogether so convenient as the
new, even II they were better. a 81 a
