tErom tho Now Of Tuesday.l


At the tax sale Of real estate In
Treasure City, a few days since, a lady
Of this city and a gentleman Of the Hill
were contending. for possession Of a
certain house and lot which had been
In dispute between them. Pat. Lam
nan, with his usual gallantry. WAS act
ing for the lady in the matter of bid
ding-she being present to instruct
him. OF course the property in such
cases is sold to the lowest bidder, |. e.
to the person who will pay the taxes
and costs for the least portion of the
property. In the case under consider
alton the contest for possession waxed
warm, and the man finally bid to pay
the taxes for four inches Of the house.
Pat. thought that was getting below
the limit, and asked the lady In a loud
whisper: "IWn you take less than
four Inches ? "i" or course I will ; Ill
take three answered the lady. Pat.
| bid three. The other man dropped to
two. Pat. turned toward the lady
| with an anxious and inquiring express
| sion on his %countenace, but before she
could speak her indignation broke
loose with "Let him have It. the I'M
gallant boor! l wouldn't take one
inch to ave him-I'd rather have none
at ALL" And away she Went, with q
Grecian bend Of Indignation's forming.
The incident serves to show that real
estate is still held at high figures on
the Hill.
Strause, who was yesterday sentenced
to seven years in the State prison, gave
Kittrell, his attorney. a bill Of sale for
hogs In payment for his defense. Be-
fore delivery a man named Richardson
levied a writ Of attachment OIL the
hogs, to secure q debt due him from
Strause. The statute declares that no
sale Of personally Is valid unless ac-
companied by an immediate delivery
Of the property. The question is, are
the hogs realty or personally? Realty
Is ground, or dirt. Hogs are dirty;
ergo, hogs must be realty-and Kilt
trell's bill of sale il good, having been
executed before the levy Of the attach
ment.
A stranger, who has been sojourning
within our gates for several days, and
who has had a penchant to pass con-
siderable Of his time in the District
Courtroom, was heard to remark to a
friend, rs he wa emerging from there
on Monday, after the Judge had got
through with setting the calendar:
ssIll tell you what conclusion I've
come to about this country: It seems
to ME that there is a did sight too
much law here for too few people"
Just as the District Court adjourned
yesterday afternoon, two litigants
locked horns in the upper hall OF the
building, and Kicked up such q terrific
racket that they frightened two dogs
into a fight In the hall below. IL was
the liyeliest day there has been at the.
Courthouse since the Grand Jury ad-
journsd.

THE WAY re SPOIL GIRLS.

l. Be always telling, from her
earliest childhood, what a beautiful crea-
ture she is. It's q capital way Of In
flating the vanity Of q little girl, to be
constantly exclaiming: How pref
ty!" Children understand such flattery
even when In the nurses arms, and the
evil Is done to the character In its ear
Hest formation.
g., Begin as soon rs she can toddle,
to dress her out In fashionable clothes
and rich dresses. Put n hoop upon
her Mt once, with all the artificial
adornments of flounces and feathers,
and flowers and curls. Fondness Of
dress will thus become a prominent
characteristic, and will usurp the
whole attention Of the young mortal,
and be q long step toward spelling her.
3. Let her visit so much that she
finds no happiness at home, and there.
fore Will not be apt to stay there and
learn home duties. It Is n capital
thing for a spoiled daughter to seek
all her happines In visiting and change
Of place and associates. She will thus
grow NJ useless as modern parents
delight that their daughters should be-
4. Be careful that her education
gives her o smattering Of all the &C
Compliments, without the slightest
knowledge Of the things really useful
In life. If her mind and time r oc-
cupied in modern accomplishments,
there viii be no thought Of the neces-
sity and virtue Of being Of some real
use to somebody peryading her heart,
and she will soon be ready Us q spoiled
daughter. E@aas EGE
s. AS a consequence, keep her in
profound ignorance of all the useful
arts of housekeeping, fmpressing upon
her mind that it Is vulgar to do any
thing for yourself, or to learn how
ANYTHING Is done in the house. A
Spoiled daughter should never be
taught the mysteries Of the kitchen ;
such things a lady always leaves to
the servants. It would be "yulgar"
for her to know how to dress n salad
or make a pudding.
6. To complete the happiness of
your spoiled daughter marry her to n
bearded youth with soft hands, who
knows as little how TO earn money as
she does how to save 1t. Her happi-
ness will then be complete for her
lifetime. nHrr

The Universal Peace Society has
sent a memorial to Congress, declaring
their object to be the disarmament
of all the Great Powers; !" wherefore
Congress is asked not to sanction the
proposed enlargement Of the West
Point Academy. The Universal Peace
Society is a remarkable organization.
The wisest minds in the world have
puzzled themselves over the question
how nations could be induced to lay
aside their j~ealousies, prejudices, and
ambition, and mutually trust each
other. The disarmament of the vast
standing armies now maintained in
Europe has been much desired. Nc
agreement among nations has yet been
possible to effect so great an object.
If the Universal Peace Society is
going to do it, every body will ap-
plaud but would 1t not be better for
them to effect the disarmament before
they ask any nation to lay aside those
precautions which are necessary to
preserve their independence?

The Virginians are determined to be
dissatisfied. For years after the close
Of the war they complained bitterly Of
the worthlessness Of the colored people
In a condition Of freedom-that they
would not work, were dishonest, and
4 pest to society generally. Now the
freedmen are shaking the dust of the
Old Dominion from their feet and
going further South-5,076 able-bodied
men having left the State for more
Southern homes during the last month.
The virginisns are once more raising
their voices in complaints; this hegira
of blacks is injuring the State, they
say, by depriving it Of its laboring
class. A short two years ago these
chronic grumblers bewailed the sad
fate Of Virginia in being the home Of

Miss Kate Field, discoursing of female
employments and the ''unfeminine" says
.'that ten years ago every female human
being, taller than ON infant, that wore a
round hat, was considered unfemenine.
Now, round hats are poised on the most
fashionable noses, at an angle that would
drive Euclid wild. Lecturing to-day oc-
cupies the position formerly accorded to
the round hats. Ten years hence, So
ciety will draw the line 'unfeminine,' say
at women who, having too much honest
pride to hang as burdens about the necks
of their friends or relatives, take up
active business and dare to make as much
money as their brothers. Evidently So
ciety would go to pieces did it not insist
upon drawing line somewhere. To my
conscience it is vastly more unfeminine
to be guilty OF the Grecian bend, to
enamel, to make conquests of men mere
~ for the sake of counting scalps, to in
dulge in slander, to dress extraYagantly,
to sit in the. parlor, and allow the cook to
overdo or underdo everything edible in
the kitchen, to feed children on pastry
and hot bread, to consign little ones to
incompetent nurses-than it is to lec-
ture."

Observation-Disclosures
the FxederieksbuFgs Ne,osj writing from
Serena post Office, Stafford County, on
the 21st, says: - s1'iiu T.r-l'l .,1
While at Capt. John B, Beasley's fish,
ing shore on the Potomac River. q few
days since, heard one OF the most re-
markable s'snake stories" that I ever
knew to come to pass in these modern
days. One of Capt B. 8 hands had been
complaining for some weeks past, saying
he felt things crawling about inside Of
him. and on the full 6f last moon. he
was 80 annoyed that he could neither
rest day nor night. During the day on
last Friday, he was taken with fit of
coughing, which almost caused strangu-
lation, when to the. surprise of several
by.standers, q snake, about eighteen
inches long, came out of his mouth and
ran across the floor of the shanty, when
one Of the men killed it, and he has it
now in o bottle of spirits. AS strange
as the above may seem, Capt. B. and
several OF his hands are willing 10 testify
to the accuracy of the statement.
The man, himself, says he has been
annoyed for over 'tcenty years." and
that snake and several black bugs and
also frog came from him last year. He
eats nothing but bread and coffee. When
he eats meat, he says he can feel some
thing crawl in his stomach, and in q
short time, he is as hungry as though he
had eaten nothing.
