FALSE EDUCATION OF GIRLS.

The following is from an article on
marriage, by Herbert Stanley, in the
October number fLippincott's liaga.
>iae:
"Ihe English nobleman who sends
to Paris for his daughters dresses Is
reasonably certain that he, and his
daughters husband after him, can
continue sending, and in tho training of
his child he is fostering ho habit which
cannot be rightfully indulgcd in. The
American knows, il he knows any.
thing, that the habits Of luxury in
which his child is reared unfit her for
tho duties Of the life to which she will
in all likelihood be called--that he
cannot hope his family wealth can
long survive him, any more than his
daughter will love IL man to whom
that wealth will be unimportant. Ex.
pcrienco and observation alike tell
him that wealth in this country rarely
continues in family three genera
tons, and that any time he may find
himself poor man again. Yet he
regulates his life and that OF his child
rcn as If his wealth and theirs were
assured forever, and as though the
habits OF 4 a'lilelime were TO be broken
like wisps Of straw His daughters
are not fit to marry any but the rich
men they experience so much difficulty
in finding, and a man Of moderate
means is careful to avoid asking them
to change their habits Of life. There
are few sadder pictures than the WOO
we see when some such women Of
braver heart, than most of her sex,
chooses the portion of poor mans
love and vainly seeks to adapt herself
to a life Of which she had hitherto
known nothing The habits Of her
girlhood bind her like strong ietters,
her ignorance of domestic duties
weighs her to the earth, tue loss Of
social position or the fcyercd efforts
she makes to support it, wear out her
life in bitter rcpinings, until her health
gives way and she dies, leaving her
faults to veX the world in her children,
and her virtues undiscovered save by
her husband, who hides from himself
all else OF her memory.

When young girl reaches the age

and it is rccurrcd to with increasing
interest every time it is brought up
on the taps. When she grows q H.
tie older She ceases to smatter about
matrimouy, and thinks more in,ently
on the alIimporlaht subject. 1t en-
crosses her thought by day, her.

to conquer the heart OF the most obdu-
rate, and that whoever else may die in

destined to become, Gro many years

From the age OF Is to 20 is "the

The Senatorial District Convention hav-
ing nominated G. H. Stratton, OF Trinity
rs Republican candidate for the zotn
Senatorial District, we wish to say few
words in relation to that gentleman. Mr..
Stratton is an old resident Of our sister
county, having resided 10 Indian Creek
precinct for the last fifteen years, during
which time he has followed the BUSINESS OF
mining. He has an extended acquaintance
throughout that county BY whom he is
universally esteemed as an upright honora
BILE gentleman. Politically heis an old Re-
publican, having been member OF that
organization at the time when scurrlious ep-
ithets and personal abuse were the only
arguments which Democratic chivalry
deemed it worth while to use against he
publican principles. He is long ways
ahead of his Democratic opponent In abili-
ty and his equal in those other qualities
which should invariably appertain to one
who seeks Legislative position. His
views on the subsidy question are in ac-
cord with public sentiment as will lie
seen by the following card, called forth by
the fact that attempts have been made to
misrepresent his position on that question.
To the Editor of the Trinity Journal )
Dear Sr:-Hearing that report has been
circulated, in this aud Shasta county, that
I am in favor of railroad aid other sub
sdies-I deem it butjust to my olitical
friends to deny the charge. To those who
are personally acquainted with me, such
denial would be unnecessary, bat to those
who are unacquainted with ny opinions on
the subject, would state that | am not
only opposed to railroad and other sub
sides, but l am also opposed to special
legislation generally, believing it to be a
great source of corruption in all legislative
bodies In relation to this, as we'll as all
other issues, heartily indorse the Union
