Carrying Weapons.

Some Of our young men
make it a constant practice to
to carry weapons. Why they
10 50, We cannot see. 1t IS
neither pretty, pleasing no be-
coming. II those who strut
about with pistol belted around
them fancy it is, OF believe it
elegates theEl in the eyes Of
the community, we assure them
they are woefully deluded.-
On the contrary, it creates
anything but an impression in
their favor. The quiet, the
orderly, the intelligent, look
upon them with wonder, not
admiration; think to them
selves, what cam that young
man be oneumbering himself
with firearms for? but say
nothing. Some imagine that
iJ is in order to make himself
appear brave, others, that he
don't know any thing better,
and others, thatshe is overbear-
ing and quarrelsome, or is 60
ing to raise 4 fuss with some
body. These or some other
thought not more flattering to
those belted with pistols enters
tho mind Of every one they
pass. We would advise every
respectable young man to quit
a pratice so unseemly, and that
reflects upon every one given
to it.
The carrying Of weapons not
only looks bad, but it is caIculat-
ed to lead, at times, to very in
furious and even fatal conse.
quences. Sometimes a word
spoken with no intention tt
offend, may be interpreted into
an insult, and on the spur o
the moment resented, by {
person having arms with him
to the extent Of blood letting
or even taking life, and at once
entailing ruin and sorrow upon
d whole family, as well as
,. LIFETIME of bitter remorse
aot retribution, either by year
OF Imprisonment or an ignom
nious death. Instances lead
ing to such results from thi
practice are numerous, an
hence should warn person
against it, In times of hig
excitement the carrying of arm
may be excusable if not nece:
sary. Such a period, perhap
has existed here, but it exis
40 longer. We are glad to st
that the practice is not nei
~ common, as it has bee,
and we trust it it will soon
abandoned altogether.

Artificial Limbs for Soldiers CrtppIed
IN ehe War.
TFpr fha

RICHMOND, VA, Sept: 26, 1870.
1ou Will recollect that an act was passed
some years ago appropriating the sum of
twenty thousand dollars for the benefit of
those that lost limbs in our late war. That
money mas all been consumed furnishing
those that could use artificial limbs, but
there arc yet good many that were left
uhproVlded for, and some of them in nv
hA, whose stumps are not long enough to
receive , the false limb. Now, sir. what l
wish 30 call TO your attention is this: The
act was passed for the benefit Of cripples,
and ii for their benefit should it not be ar
ranged so that the one so crippled should
he aided in proportion to his cripplings ?
At the meeting Of the Legislature last
winter another act originated in and passed
the House, making an additional appro-
priation for the benefit of those that re-
ceivcd no benefit from the aforesaid act.
Now this act failed to get through the
Senate, merely for the want of time and, I
suppose, viii come up as some Of the I'M
liniShed business at the meeting Of the
Senate.
DO you hot think that it would be fair
and just for the Senate to amend the act
that originated in the House so as to give
TO every cripple that is not able to wear an
artificial limb double the cost of the false
leg! for If he has no stump with which to
fasten an artificial leg he is certainly more
OF cripple by double than the man who
can use the false limb. I beg that you will
give this your serious consideration, and if
you think as do, use your powerful and in
fluential pen in behalf of one whose crippled
condition has him now eighty miles from
his wife and little children, trying to make
4 support for them. / would be glad for
YOU TO drop me Il line, to let me know WI. at
YOU think of my suggestion.
