The BEAUTY OF PURITY.-Goethe was
in company with mother and daugh-
ter, when the latter, being reproved for
something, blushed and burst into tears
He said to the mother: allow beautiful
your reproach has made your daughter I
The crimson hue and those silvery tears
become her much better than any orna-
ment of gold or pearls; those may be
hung on the neck of any woman these
are never seen unconnected with moral
purity. A full-blown flower, sprinkled
with purest hue, is not so beautiful as
this child, blushing beneath her parents
displeasure, and shedding tears of sor-
row fer her fault. A blush is n sign
which nature hangs out to show where
chastity and honor dwell.

FALSE PRETENCEs.-The pre-
tended reason why Attorney Gen
eral Hoar is shelved, is locality.
The true reason is, that he has
expressed opinions Of the uncon-
stitutionality Of certain acts of
Congress-, and does not like the
Radical plan of suhjugating the
judiciary. This killed him off.
Capitalization is now almost su-
preme. Farnsworth, Dawes and
Bingham are alarmed, and enter
protests as boldly as they dare.
But it is too late. The Republic
of Washington is sacrificed to the
demon Of Radicalism.

The ELECTION or SPEAKER
The resignation of @. w. Lowell
as Speaker of the House of Rep
resentatives necessitated an cleo
tion yesterday. immediately after
the assembling Of the House. The
resignation of Mr.. Lowell was
not voluntary, but was forced
upon him by vote of the House
The election of Mr.. Mortimer,
Carr by a very large majority-a
vote of 81 to 26-is considered as
an Indication of the strength of
Governor Warmoth, as he used
all of his influence to defeat Mr..
Carr, who was numbered among
the friends and supporters of the
Auditor. II this vote be taken
as a fair test of the Governors
influence, his efforts to procure
impeachment of Auditor Wickliffe
will prove abortive, and it would
be well for his Excellency to look
to his own household.-N. o. BuI-

At Milwaukee, a few nights ago,
q German laborer named Weber
gave his wife a fifty-dQllar bill
for safe keeping. Not having had
so large sum in the house at one
time for years, Mrs. Weber natu-
rally felt very solicitous about it's
safety, and after much thought
secreted it in the bowl of the
cotfee-mill, as a place not likely
to be spied out by burglars. Her
husband, on rising next morning,
ground the coffee as usual, and
with it the precious earnings of
months. The poor woman swoon-
ed on discovering the mishap,
and has been confined to her bed
ever since the unfortunate occur
renee.

ADVICE TO THE GIRLs.-Do not
estimate the worth Of a young
man by his ability to talk nom
sense, nor by the length of his
mustache.
Do not imagine that an extra
ribbon, tied about the neck, can
remedy the defect of q soiled col
lar or an untidy dress.
If your hands are Drowned by
labor, do not envy the lily fingers
of Miss Fuss and Feathers, whose
mother works in the kitchen,
while she lounges in the parlor.
Ii a dandy, with a cigar be-
tween his fingers, asky You it smok-
ing is offensive to you, tell him
emphatically, eyes, The habit
should be, even though the odor
may not.
Do not waste your tears on the
imaginary sorrows Of Alonzo and
nor the trials Of the dime
novel heroines. Seek rather to
alleviate the woes of the suffer-
ing one on earth.
If your dress is inconveniently
long, and n gentleman steps upon
it, don't be angry, but nleekly
beg his pardon, as You ought.
Always cherish a partiality for
the smell of dishwater. It is
more conducive to helath, and far
less expensive than ''Boquet Of
Eden"

Pruss;ans at first were w0rsted, but brought
a iaroe force Of artillery from MOutberg,

MANY cart loads of wounded Prussians
have arrived at MOsey.
Associates of General Cluseret have been
imprisoned.
It is reported that the people of Metz arc
suffering from want of salt.
Garibaldi denies his intention Of serving
under the French republic.
The barracks at Rheims was burned, it is
said, by accident.
Advices from Compeigne announce that
the Prussians entirely stripped the Chateau,
not even leaving furniture or curtains.
The Prussians have many thousand cat
tie and sheep, as well as an immense guam
tity of forage, obtained by acquisitions upon
the surrounding country for their forces
around Paris.
Assurances come from Marseilles that
matters there are becoming quite settled.
Letters from different places dwell upon
the shameful cOwardice of the population,
who permit few Prussians to strip them Of
everything. Some of the details are scarcely
credible. The people, it is said, drive away
the mobiles and francs tireurs who wish to
defend the towns more harshly than larger
bodies.
