Berlin is highly tickled with the story OF

proper distance this youthful Fritz saluted him
with intense gravity, and stood to attention as
rigldly as If he had petrifed. The Emperor
called him familiarity by name, and asked him
an afectionate question. His reply was
another elaborate military salute, and a re-

The Work of the may Convention.

There is evidently, in some quarters, q
great fear lest the Taxpayers Convention,
which assemblies in Columbia in May, should
ne hasty and passionate in its action, and SO
fail to accomplish any practical result in the
way of alternating the burdens which press
upon the people. We do not know that
there is any cause for this feeling. 1t is
plain that the Convention is not political
in character-that it has, by the terms
of the resolutions under which it is called,
no part or parcel in National or State
politics. The nature Of the work before
it is marked out beyond the likelihood
of misappreheusion. That work. is, to
consider the financial condition OF the
State, to inquire into its debt, and to take
steps for protecting the people, If that can
be done, against a recurrence of that inor-
diuate taxation and criminal extravaganza
which is rohbing planter, merchant and me
chanic OF the fruits OF the working year.
The Convention may address; itself to OBJ.
tanning, through the proper authorities, a
postponement of the collection Of the tax OF
1871, due next November. 1t may direct Its
efforts to determining, with the concurrence
of the Executive, the legitimate debt OF the
State. 1t may ponder the propriety of estab-
fishing an Executive Committee to remain
in Columbia, as the representative OF the
propeay-holders, during the session OF the
Legislature-to watch corrupt schemes, and
throw the moral force of the State against
official proaigacy and public fraud But we
do not apprehend any turbulent action.
Should the Convention fail to obtain some
delay in the collection Of the November tax,
it must calmly resolve what other course is
safest and wisest to adopt. Should it fail to
ascertain, from official sources, the debt of
the State, it must decide, from the published
reports OF the Comptroller General, what
debt is to he recognized as binding, at all
times, upon the people. But under no cir
cumstauces do we fear that any hot-head
will he allowed to sway, or to mould, the
deliberations Of g body OF grave and thought
full men, who have loo much at stake to be
uuwary in what they do. The political and
financial future of South Carolina would be
marred by wild and passionate action in Co.
lumbla In May. Nor is it hard to see that
any vindictive and rash course, Will falling
to heal our own wounds, would be o terrible
blow to that great constitutional party which,
all the country over, is organizing for vic
tory. These things are known to the peo-
pie, and they will only elect such delegates
as will represent them with quiet dignity as
well as fidelity and zeal.

Our GIRLS. By Dio Lewis, A. MN. D., Presf.
dent of the Normal Institute for Physical
Education, &c. New York: Harper q Bros.
1871. Charleston Holiness Bookhouse.
This is a shocking book. The author in
sists upon treating Our Girls, the potential
mothers of millions Of freeborn Americans,
as human beings, who are not higher than
physical laws, and cannot live, without hurt,
in a way that would bring the toughest per-
son OF the opposite gender to the brink OF
the grave. In very plain words, DR.. Lewis
tells sour Girls' how their shoes should be
made, and shows them how they may walk
like queens, instead of skipping like kanga-
roos. Low necks and short sleeves come in
for their share of criticism, for, says DR..
Lewis, .the brave, earnest women who may
.read these pages would not pardon nae If l
ediscussed this vital subjectin a shilly-shally,
"easy-going, disingenuous manner" Among
the most striking chapters are those on
"outrages upon the Body" upon Charge us.
"Small Women" upon ':Idleness among
"Girls," and upon Sunshine and Health"
This last is rich in seund thought and practi-
cal suggestion. The 'Employmerts 'ot Wo-
s'men" are discussed at length, as are 'Piano
Emusic" the ''study OF French" and the
best way of Supporting Stockings" DR..
Lewis is fatty opposed to round dancing and
theatre-going, and can always give some
shrewd reason for the faith that is in him.
The eShort Sermon about M%atrimony" is full
of home truths.
s.Our Girls" is the best quoted book OF the
season. Extracts from it have appeared in
all the leading papers, and it's popularity is
steadily increasing. And the reason is plain.
However we may differ from DR.. Lewis on
some points, we cannot upon all, and every
sensible woman and girl in the country may
obtain hints which they may turn to advan-
tage.' The fair sex are Joined to their idols,
but il only one in a thousand follows, even
in part, DR.. Lewis's advice, something will
have been done towards the removal Of the
evils which women bring upon themselves,
and which, if unchecked, must destroy that
physical harmony which is the foundation OF
moral as well as bodily health. DR.. Lewis
writes vigorously, but with iatherly kindness.
We hope that his book will be as widely read
in the South as it is sure to be in the North.
