WOMEN IN CLUBS.

In America, the Society known as
the Sorosis have established Clubs
from which men are vigorously exclud-
ed as women are from mems Clubs,
and we have not yet heard of mixed
sexes in the Clubs of America but
the question OF admitting women to
membership in the Clubs Of London
is now being agitated, and finds many
advocates. Somo of the reasons urg-
ed in favor of the admission of women
to tho Clubs OF London are not very
flattering, however, to the fair sex.-
For instance, country members Of
town Clubs, who have not town estab-
llishments, say that when they come to
town with their families, while the
males of the family seek the Club. the
females, in default Of having any COM
Portable place at which to while away
the time, go shopping, and enormous
dry goods bills are the consequence !;
and they desire TO have the ladies ad-
mitted TO the Clubs to avoid the temp
tation Of the shops. Others urge the
admission of females for the same rea-
son that our Woman's Rights adyo-
Gates favor admitting them to the
polls, contending that the Clubs, like
the polls, have become corrupt, and
woman's presence will elevate and re-
fine them. The crusty old bachelors
are OF course IN arms against the pro-
posed innovation, and they grow fran
tic at the sound of the rustic of dimi-
ty and deprecate female intrusion into
the Clubs with as much horror as q So
ciety OF nuns would display if their
cloisters were invaded by band of
Greek brigands. The old fogies con-
strue this new phase of progress as an
attack upon the British Constitution,
and swear they will have none of it
This onslaught of the ladies upon the
Clubs is carrying the war of Woman q
Rights into Africa. Clubs are nurser-
les of bachelorhood, and bachelors are
the recluses Of Clubs. Male celibates
take refuge from female society in
Clubs, and occupy their time in smok-
ing, drinking, talking business or pol
itics, playing billiards and chess and
stag rubbers at whist. How the wo-
men will reform Club manners when
they are admitted TO membership =
Many an old bachelor will be convert
ed into Benedict, and the attach
ments of the Club will be transfers. ed
to the ATTACHMENTS of the freside.-

Jackson's Mother.

An anecdOte relative to his parting
from his mother in his outset in life il
lustrates this as prominent in the attri-
butes of his nature at that time. The
writer heard him narTate this after his
return from Washington, when his last
term in the Presidential Office had eX-
pered.
When about to emigrate to Tennessee,
the family were residing in the neigh
bOrhOOd of Greensboro, North Caro-
lima.

step for some months, and had made ar
rangements to do so, and at length had
obtained my mothers COnsenttO it. All
my worldly goods were few dollars in
my purse, some clothes in my saddle
bags, a pretty good horse, saddle and
bride. The country to which was GO
ing was comparatively wilderness, and
the trip a long one, beset by many diff
ficulties, especially from the Indians. /

would not recall her promise; there was
too much spunk in her for that, and
this caused me TO ltnger day or two lOn-

4 Caution to Ladies Who Don't Want
Their Skulls Bored.
From the Portland MsN Press. ]

From the Portland (AEe.) PressI
We have lately printed several prac-
tical cautions against the use of jute
switches, publishing, among other items
an account Of a fatal result in Water
vile. Mr.. J. P. Smith, the hair-dresser
No. 100 Exchange street, showed US
last evening one Of the vermin which
he took, yesterday, from a Japanese
switch, and it is one Of the most repul-
sive looking insects that we wish to see.
1t is smaller than the body of flea, but
put under an ordinary microscope, was
magnified to a length of nesrly three
quarters of an inch. 1t is Of a brown
color, semiOpaqUe, with nearly as many
legs as a centipede. Projecting from
the head are two horns, half as long as
the creature, curved like the horns of the
ibeX, corrugated like the feelers of a lob
ster. Attached to the rear part of the
body are two pairs of claws, in two parts
the upper closing over the lower, like q
parrots bill. The jaws appear to be of
extraordinary power; and, altogether,
the sight of such a creature causes one
to invOlUntarily shrink. We hear that
several ladies in this vicinity have dis
covered these things in their switches;
and we give this additional caution to
discard this silly and unsafe style of
head-dress. Mr.. Smith has this speci-
men at his rooms, and those who are
curious to investigate and study the
structure Of the animal, are at liberty
to do 50.
The SprinfeId (BIassachusetts) Re-
publican says, on the same subject:
The recent revelations about jute'-
the dark, fibrOus bark Wherewith women
endeavOr cheaply to oOunteFfeit the lux
Uriant heads Of hair denied them by ma
ture-have been regarded, no doubt, as
merely sensational, or perhaps the pro.
duct of some misogynie imagination.
But the dOubters have no chance; haven't
indeed, a single hair to hang upon The
disgusting little bOrers that fill the fbres
of the jute plant, whether used in mas
sive chignons or long punches, are caUs-
ing lively and by no means pleasing
excitement in various quarters. Find
ng their way,tO theheads Of their harbOr-
ers, they buTTOw there until the scalp is
raw, and in some cases affect the whole
system and craze the brain. In
this city several women lie in danger of
death from these lOathsOme insects; one
of these dwelIs on the Hill, another on
Dwight street, and the disease in its !
lesser forms is quite frequent. Without
any hair splitting, the moral seems to !
be that Honesty is the best policy in |
adOrnment as in business; and !
iute chignOns must take their place with /
the poisonous dyes and lotions Of the /
qUack, as among the implements of
suicide,

IMPORTANT TO INVENTORS.
NelV Patent Office Rule Relating to Re
iected AppIicntions.

Nelv Patent Office Rmc Relating to Re
jectcd applications.
. The following viii be fOnnd Of the ut
most Importance to all having applica-
tiOns for patents which have been reiec-
ted or withdrawn.
The information is gFHtVioBly COM
municated by AessTs. Cox & Cox, a reli-
able firm Of solicitors of patents in
Washington, DC, and may be depend
ed upon as worthy Of attention.
Rules and regulations of the Patent
Office Edition of July, 1870, page 8,
rule 80, recites as follows:
When an application has been reject
ed or withdraw prior to July s, 1870, the
applicant will have Sir months from that
dIte to renew his application, or to file q
new one; and if he Omits to do either,
his application lUiU be held to hare 6eeJJ
abandoned, and upon hearing of such
renewed application, abandonment will
be considered as a question of fact
This rule is necessitated by the new
act of Congress relating to patents,
which became a law July s, 1870.
The result of the foregoing is that un-
less the rule is complied with, and the
application renewed prior to January 8.
1870, it is lost to the inventor with all
the advantages Of being deemed the
original inventor, as well as all the time
ingenuity and expense consumed in per-
fecting the invention.
The above becomes generally interest
ing when it is known that there are
now in the Patent Office no less tnan
so, 600 rejected and withdrawn applica-
tons for patents, many of which are of
greBt value, and perhaps one-third are
capable of being patented upon being
slightly amended.

Reputation.

The late Darke County Radical Con-
yentiOn passed a resolution declaring
against Reputation. While the Demo-
cracy have made no such issue, we call
attention to the following article upon the
subject, copied from the Cincinnati
Commercial a Republican sheet that
has never failed to give the Radical
ticket a hearty support. That paper
says that should the bogus debt (the
Funding bill does it, be blended with
the genuine 1T 1UiU then be proper to de-
cline to pay d7ytbiBg-tO reject tbs iUbOle
debt as q Uile SJUindJG.' Read as copied
from that paper of May 18th:
Thus far, on the bonded debt issue,
parties have been divided as follows:
One has been for paying all the bonded
debt which we really owe and which
we agreed to pay. The other party has
been, in addition, in favor Of paying q
fictitious debt that we do not owe, and
of course, never agreed to cancel. We
have been paying a fictitious interest for
years, that is, S6,OOO,OOO in gold upon
800, 900, when only $40, ,000,0 600 or
S5O,0OO, 600 was, in fact loaned. The
Democracy have thought that this
swindle was about as much as the peO-
pie could stand, without making them
pay the principal of that which had no
existence except on paper and in the
imagination. The progress of events
promises to modify and change the
issue. The advocates of the fictitious
debt threaten to include it with the real
one, and so blend them that the pay
ment of one will be the payment of the
other. Of course it will then be pro-
per to decline to pay anything
reject the whole debt as q vile swindle |
We believe the people will do this, and
we warn the bOndhOldeTs of the cOnse- |
quence. They had better not combine |
genuine debt with a bogus One-a debt |
that can be hOnorably paid with one
that cannot be so paid. As a mans |
good money is questioned when large |
quantities of spurious are found OH him, |
so the justice of all the claims will be |
denied if they mix up the good and bad |
together Our debt account, on gold /
standard, is as follows: Real debt, $500, |
O00,0 900; fictitious debt, S1,600, 600, 900, |
The bonds call for specie for the $500, /
100000, but do not require it for the 81, |
SOC, 100000. That is altogether bogus. /
Let us see what we have already done /
for the fraudulent claims. The interest /
on the genuine debt, for seven yeaIs, has |
been S37S, 600, 600. This has been paid. |
The interest on the fictitious debt has
been S672, ,0O0, 600. This has also been /
paid. But we ought to stop it as soon as |
possible, by paying of the genuine |
principal and letting the bogus slide. |
The time has passed when men should |
receive one hundred for every forty or |
fifty dollars that they put into the Treas
uTy-get gold at par for paper that orig |
inally required two dollars and a-halfI
for one.

'sTime 70 FIght.o

One of the most thrilling reminiscent
ces of the annals of the American RevO-
luton is recorded of General Peter Muh-
lenbeTger, whose ashes repOse in the
burying ground of the old Trappe church
in Montgomery county, Pennsylvania.
When the war broke out, Muhlenberger
was the rector Of a Protestant Episcopal
Church in DunmOre county, Virginia.
On a Sunday morning he administered
the communion of the Lords Supper to
his charge, stating that in the afternoon
of that day he would preach a sermon
on The duties men owe to their cOun-
try At the appointed time the build
ing was crowded with listeners. The
discourse was founded upon the text
from Solomon There is time for every
purpose and for every work The ser
mon burned with patriotic fire; every
sentence and intOnatiOn told the speak
er's deep earnestness in what he was
saying. Pausing a moment at the close
Of his discourse, he repeated the words
of his text, and in tones Of thunder eX-
claimed: 1.-THE time to preach IS past,
the time to fight has come ~ and sUiting
the action to the word, he threw from
his shoulders his Episcopal robes and
stood before his congregation arTayed in
military uniform. Drumming for re-
eruits commenced on the spot, and it is
said that almost every male Of suitable
age in the house enlisted forthwith.

THE BOY AND THE BRICKS.

A boy, hearing his father say 1tWas a
poor rule that would not work both
ways said: IF father applies this rule
about his work. I win test it in my
play So, settling up row of bricks
three or four inches apart, he tipped
over the first which striking the second
caused it to fall on the third, which
overturned the fourth and so on through
the whole course, until all the bricks lay
PROSTATE.
well, said the boy, each brick has
knocked down his neighbOr which stood
next to him only tipped one. Now
I raise one and see if he viii raise his
neighbor. I viii see if raising one will
raise all the rest
He looked in vain to see them rise.
Here, Father, said the boy, SIS a poor
rule; twill not work both ways. They
knock each other down, but will not
raise each other up
My son, said the father, bricks and
mankind are alike, made of clay, active
in knocking each other down but not
disposed to help each other up
The father then added the following
moral:
When men fall they love company;
but when they rise, they love to stand
alone like yondeF brick, and see others
PROSTATE and below them?

queer thoughts will insanity sometimes
even MethOdically express Who but
the insane fSnatic, thinks that the
American constitution, with all the ras-
cally frauds perpetrated to subvert il
takes the place OF the Bible in matters
of religion? Who but 8 pure unadulterat-
ed child of the Devil thinks that Heav-
EN- has a back kitchen that would dis
grace him if he entered it in fear of the
Lord, hoping for mercy through the
merits of his son with meekness and
true penitence ? Sane minds entertain
the belief that in mansions prepared for
the children of God before the fOunda-
tons Of the world were laid, there is no
disreputable kitchen for a solitary child,
black or white. Christianity teaches
them that the pure in spirit will not be
envied or enviOus; and that God will
respect alike the gifted and the lOWly
and reward each accordingly to the in
dividual merits each displayed in the
use of what was entrusted to his earthly
care; be it One'talent or fifty. If Laud-
erdale was now here to read the work Of
these preachers, wouldn't he again ex-
claim. 1T is all wonderful to me, the
way some preachers explain things to

that possibly the Almighty would pre-
fer that His churches on earth would do
best to follow the practices and teach
ings' of his 'tUeU be loved som while on
earth, rendering to CeaSar the things
that are Caesars, and to God the things
that are Gods Omitting to blend and
mix them with the whims, frauds, fol-
lies and criminal crOtchets of bad and
rascally politicians? ? God has great
charity, and forgives great offences of
the penitent. Doubtless. He will not
adopt the model of churches with back
kitchens as a substitute for any that he
has fOre-Ordained, or people the prepar-
ed Home with occupants variant from
the rules long since fixed by Him. In
Heaven, if there are many mansions
prepared for the many occupants of the
many nations, and people of all the
races of the earth, pray why should not
they all have places on earth to meet
and worship the same benevolent Faith
er on earth ? Why mix up what He
created and discolOur his work, and de-
teriOrate the substance from its original
formation; not only in form but mental
ly and physically?
