Gail Hamilton has her ideal Of do
nestle life, and the man in it does not
look so shoTrid' to her as to some We
men who have reduced matrimonial
ideas to practice. We fear she has
fallen from the grace she enjoyed
in the days when she riddled and de-
molished the old fOgyisn Of the Rev.
DR.. Todd, for now she can write such
placid pFecepts as the following:
In every known sense Of the word,
woman owns the man who loves
her, more than be owns her. Her
love is perhaps as great, but it is not
so absorbing. She sees the situation
where he sees only her. She IS as
strong as ali his strength, because bis
strength Is hers. With whatever OF
power or wisdom or renOwR he is en-
dowed, she also becomes possessed,
and no enlargement Of his borders di-
lmiBishes one iota Of his dependence
upon her for the ability to enjoy them.
If there is any difference, the supreme
control, the court Of last resort, ID
hers. Civil codes may reach state
Of absolute perfection, doing equal and
entire justice to man and woman, and
a husband will still be able to hector
his wife to death, and the wife her
husband and, as between the two,
one is inclined to think she does it
best. A woman has rather more pow
er TO make a home steadily and un-
mitigatedly uncomfortable than has 3
man.

Physical Training in schools.
The Philadelphia Press favors phys
ical training as well as mental in the
public schools of that city. It is
strange, with the results before the
ewes Of educators in all those institu-
tions which make exercise a part Of
the system, that il is not more gener-
ally adopted in schools. Agood stomach
and spine are more essential to success
10 life than a disciplined mind, and q
large proportion Of students. lose both
these before their education is finished.
Exercise is especially essential during
the development period, and should
be as systematically given as the men
tai exercises taken in our schools and
colleges. The walk to and from school
is Of course exercise, but It is not suf
&c en-. and does not develop the whole
body. TF
We are In danger now OF danger
Gus reaction against exercise. Prize
sighting, base bali playing and rowing
have been pushed TO such excess in
tie past few years, that between dis
gust and doubt, the public are in dan
ger Of going to the other extreme and
arraying themselves against physical
training. But one of the best means
Of regulating exercise and introducing
lit generally and systematically among
the people, is to make it an essential
part of the training received at our
schools and colleges.

Boards went out of fashion for more
than two hundred years among the
AnglO-saxons of Europe and America
but they have been revived again, and
they are now cultivated and defended
upon scientific considerations. Ths
moustache is improved because It is
said to be a natural respiratOr de-
fence to the lungs against the inhala-
ton of dust and the beard is defend
ed as a protection for the throat
against cold. It has been recommend
ed that all preachers who are subject
to throat diseases should allow their
boards to grow. Travellers in sandy
regions, millers, bakers, and all me-
ehanics, should allow the beard free
play.

CoIOred Representatives in Con.
gFeEs.

EFes5.
The Democratic paper here and 9th |
ers have commented unfavorably on
the fact that Measrs. Rsiney, De Large
and Wall, three colored Representa-
tivps, having obtained their choice Of
seats early in the drawing, took prom
inent places to the left Of the Speaker
and near Gen. Banks. These seats
they have since kindly given to lead
ing Republicans who were left out in
the drawing. Mr.. De Large gave his
seat to Mr.. Maynard, and EIr. Wall,
of Florida, gave his to Gen. Butler.
These gentlemen now sit further back
in the same sections. Messrs. Turner
and Elliott sit on the outer row, to the
right as you go in at the central door,
places not at all incOuspieuOus, so far
as seeing or being seen is concerned.
Mr.. Rainey's personal appearance has
been described before. Having held
a seat in the last Congress, he is we'll
known to the habitues of the galleries,
and is credited with good looks and
manners by a majority Of them. He
is a teacher by profession, man Of
excellent education, and evidently
possessed ofa proper share Of seIf-re-
spect and confidence. His colleagues
De Large and Elliott, are both men o.
more distinct types. The first has &
dark, olive-bued complexion, oval face
welI.formed features, and modeTat,
stature. He has the hEoad Southern
pronunciation, and, If not. looking, i
might readily be supposed that en'
WAS listening to and old-sChool Palmet
to representative. On his mOther'I
side Mr.. DeLarge is of Haytien descent
He also writes himself a teacher
Since the war closed he has been al
active Republican politician, serving
in the State Legislature. Elliott, hi
colleague, is credited with considerable
ability, especially as a parliamentariar
and speaker. He appears to be full
bIooded negro. His face is dull sn(
heavy in repOse, but lights up vel
when he is engaged IN conversation
In manner as well as ability, SOutl
Carolina's colored Representatives ap
pear to be fully the equals of those b!
whom they are surrounded. Thr
Alabama Representative, Mr.. Turner
is large man, athletic and fine pro
portionsd. He is Of a deep brown
complexion, and will not be mistaken
| for other than what ne is-a mulattO
He also writes himself teacher. Nj
| Wall, from Florida, is by birth
: Northern man, of mixed blood, brow
complexion, tail and slender. He ap
pears to be a young man Of hne in
telligenee, and certainly bears himsel
with modesty. He is a teacher also
and has been so engaged for sewers
years under the direction Of the Bu
reau. De Large and Turner have bot
been slaves. Rainey and Wall wer
born free, and contradictory statement
are made as to Mr.. Elliott. 1t Il
claimed by South Carolina Republ
cans that Mr.. Elliott will prObabl
, take the leading position among tn
l. five eolored Representatives now i

A correspondent writes from Port
land, Oregon: "One morning as I sat
at breakfast with the door open, I saw
a sight that could not be witnessed in
an eastern city. Directly opposite is
a barber shop, run by negroes, and a
laundry, operated by Cinnamon. The
Africans and Mongolians were airing
themselves outside. Along came an
Indian with his squaw and his half
grown papOOse and in the opposite di-
rection two Caucasians and an Irish
man. The FIVE races, with their re-
spective grand divisions - Europe,
Asia, Africa, America and Ireland,
were represented on twenty feet Of
sidewalk. The Paddy was ragged but
be looked as If he owned them all"

The eyeing Of women By women 10
one Of the most offensive manifesto
lions Of supsrciIiousness now to Be

perfectly weTE bred or perfectly kind

another who she thinks is not in such
good society, and above ali, not a.
the time being in so costly dress IS
she herself is IN. 1t is done every

all conditions 0f lTfes The very SER

recall hundreds of instances Of that
sweep Of the eye which takes IN ct 3
glance the whole woman and what
she has on, from top knot to shoe-tieG
1t cannot be new fashion Of beha-
vior; but the daily increasing pre-
tenee Of people to superiority, because
they can AFFORD to. spend more money
on their backs than others can, makes
it at once more common and more
remarkable even than It was ten or
RfteeR years ago. If women only
knew how uDIovely, bow positively
offensive they make themselves BY

Gen. BelknaP, Secretary Of War, has
caused to be deposited in the museum Of
Princeton College a set Of firearms, which,
upon examination, will show the history
and improvements in such arms from the

the arms used by the rebels during the

TIE Pine Tree State held her annual
election on Monday last. III towns and
cities give Perham, Republican 2s,907 I;
Kimban, Democrat 22.405. Net gain
for Perham, l12s.
Republicans gain largely in Peoobseot,
AndrOscOggin. Oxford. aud make fair gains
in Franklin aud Li1eoln counties.
The Democrats make small gains in
Knox, Waldo, Cumberland and Washing
ton. The Republicans have probably car
ried Lincoln again, and have possibly lost
Washington aud one Senator in York. The
Legislature will not differ much from last
year.
The Republicans gain three representa-
tiyes 10 Portland, three in Lewistown aud
three in Bangor, but lose in the rural dis
tricts, from local dissensioDs il is esti-
mated that Perham's majority will foot
about 10, 1000 in the State.
LArER.-Republican majority slightly
exceeds nine thousend. same as last year.
Republicans are apathetic and Democrats
disappointed. The country towns show
Democratic gains, and cities Democratic
losses.
