ParlsgIan Women.

Halstead, of the Cincinnati Com
mercial, is in Paris. What is more.
he has seen some of the Partisan
women, and the following is his opin-
ion of tkem, told in plain Anglo Sax
on prose:
A sketch of Paris, however slight,
would, / apprehend. be considered
defcientif nothing were said of the
women of the city. My observation
leads me to believe that the women
of the city are far more numerous
than the babies. There is, indeed, a
painful scarcity of babies. and / fear
there is a prejudice against them.
The art of dressing has, however,
been brought to great perfection by
the Partisan female. She puts on
her clothes with wonderful grace.
There is something nice in the fit of
the gloves, and the ribbons are all
mounted with consummate skill, and
the folds of the drapery are a
study, and the result of high
art. A Partisan woman, arrayed
for conquest, is an unparalleled
object. She looks as though the wind
might fatally derange her costume, OF
the act of getting in or out Of an ON

ment or exertion prove destructive to
the harmony of design executed IL

ant woman, and that one hundred
and sixty pounds we'll placed may moi
be obnoxious; but the number Of
young women here whose luxurious
forms would authorize a bet that
they weigh more than two hundred
pounds avoirdupois each, suggests
that the climate, or the mode Of liv
ing, the Partisan air, or butter, OIL
wine, or bread, or abstinence from
babies, or the atmosphere OF adula'
ton of females, leads extraordinary
to the accumulation of the fatty Sc

A correspondent of the Utica Her

awe do not remember to have heard
q more interesting episode in the life
of anv artist, since the days of the
great Jenny Lind, than that of Miss
KeIlogg at the State Lunatic Asylum

sneaks volumes for the kindness of
heart and genuine humanity of this
Great artist. Not content, as some OF
the 0enus irritable of lower order of
art would have been. to dole o1t few
notes to the better classes of patients
that could be assembled for the pur-

sing to the most disturbed classes.
Accompanied by two of the faculty,
their ladies, and the matron, and
armed only with her guitar, she start

The feud has gone SO far that the
Courier has actually excluded the
ENQUIRER from its exchange list.
Hereafter the Democrats of this city
will have to depend altogether upon
the JOURNAL for Perry County DEM
ocratic news.
CAPTAIN GooDING's tour through
Posey County seems to have Infused
new life into the politics of that coun-
~. Even the New Harmony Register
has been aroused from its Rip Var
Wrinkle sleep, and devotes sundry
and numerous paragraphs to The Cap
tain. The latter must have made /;
very favorable impression upon those
who heard him, thus to stir up tht
sleepy Register. The Mt. Vernon
Democrat is also as lively as a Lane
terrapin with hot coal of fire on it
back. The Democrat devotes owe
two columns of its valuable space t.
reviewing the Captains speech. Pre-
vious to his arrival. it INDUCED il
considerable levity. and attempted t.
be very facetious over the mere idet
of his making speech. But its Levitt
is very suddenly turned into tn
greatest solemnity as its ponderou
and stupid review of the speec
clearly demonstrates. No bette
proof could be needed of the Car
tain's efficiency as speaker, than
perusal of the two Democratic paper
of Posey County of last week.

THE New Albany Ledger says
dangerous counterfeit fifty cent frac-
tional currency note of the new issue
of the Lincoln vignette, has just been
cut in circulation. 1t so closely
resembles the fifty cent note Of the
new issue, that any one is liable to be
deceived. The paper used is an imi-
tation of that used by the Govern
ment, but is unlike the genuine, which
is pink tinted. The counterfeit is
slightly greenish in color, and the
face is somewhat blurred. The words
fractional and stamps are darkly
shaded, which is not the case in the
genuine,

CAMPAIGN CHAT :

In order to divert Captain Good
ing's attention and interfere with his
speech at Mt. Vernon, the Democrats
circulated the beastly circular, which
was afterwards published in the Cour-
Ter of this city as Communication.
1t did not accomplish the purpose de-
signed. The Captain did not permit
himself to be disturbed. and delivered
his speech without confusion or en-
barrassment, much to the chagrin
and dismay of those who plotted his
discontinue.

The Mt. Vernon Union charges
that the beastly circular y. was print
ed in the Office of the Mt. Vernon
Democrat, The UnioB says:
The cOlporteurs OF that beastly circular,
referred 10 elsewhere, endeavored to Gre
ate the impression that 1t was printed at
the Evansville JOURNAL ONCE. or course
the lie was a self-evident one, and didn't
deceive anybody. The thing has all the
ear-marks OF having been printed at the
Democrat office In this city. We don't be-
neye there is another printing establish
ment In the district where planned is
spelled "planed;" descent, decent" and
familiar. "famnliarP'
The Union is correct. The spelling
convicts little Tommy Collins beyond
q reasonable doubt, though we have
seen the Courier of this city afflicted
with nearly as bad a spell.
The contest between those distin-
guished military chieftains, Col. Cal.
Jones and Col. A. 7. Whittlesey. re-
suited, as we predicted, in the ignomin-
ious defeat of the latter. Indeed he
seems to have stood no more chance
In that Convention, than q bovine
animal with a cropped tail in fly
time. 1t was emphatically Col. Calls
Convention, and the nominees are
his candidates. Nothing now is
wanting to establish the Rockport
Colonel's supremacy, than to push

itor on the hip, at which we are dis.
posed to shout, hip, hip, hurrah.

nel's larder ought always to be well
supplied.

fully pleasant it is for brethren to
dwell together in unity, we regret to
observe the want of harmony among
distinguished members Of the Demo-
cratic family, as manifested by the

THE Terre Haute Gazette says
Daniel w. Voorhees, is known as the
'Tall sycamore of the Wabash" be-
cause that tree, Notwithstanding it's
rugged roots, huge trunk, stalwart
branches and lofty top, is almost uni
versally rotton-hearted and hollow.
The only fruit it produces is a little
ball, which, when picked to pieces,
is found to contain only feathery
nothings that melt into the thin air
upon which they float. The correct
ness of the appellstion will strike all
who have read the Sycamore's
speeches.

THE New Harmony Register, while
regretting the strife among the friends
Of the aspirants for the nomination
of Circuit Judge, was prompt to an
nounce in advance, its determination
to support the nominee of the Con-
vention, as every good Democrat
should and r0iU do" We know of q
good many Democrats who will not
support the nominee of that Conven-
ton, and the Register will have hap
by time in reading them out of the
party as no longer good Democrats.
