EXTREMES Is IN old saying that e&-
tremes are dangerous, and it - very true
| Yet IL seems that In political contests
man must be extreme, OF be crushed be.
tween the opposing parties, Prctermit-
ting any discussion upon this point, wcwill
at once confess that we dcspise extremes
We never intend to be an extreme man
and are vain enough to seek to prevent
others from being SO. With such u view
we have commenced this article, but show
the subject theme may gang" the Lord on
ly knows. Our friend and foreman, MI,
d., will insist upon a heal for everything
we write, while our proclivity is for head
less articles, for the reason that we scarce
ly wot what the body of our article may be
before the printer has it in type, head and
all. But We have beat him this time in
choosing aheading very comprehensive,
and can ''lct ourself loose to write al AJi-
tum. We shall m with the cX-
tremes in society first, and take up
bhN'INN.
There is no more innocent amusement
than stripping the light fantastic" but
like other innocent pastimes, it has been
carried to excess. There can be no harm
in Il c~otillnn, or the lanccrs, and similar
exercises. If party is protracted to the
''wee sma' hours ayant the twal," the sin,
ifthnpn ha anu is In thn ntnIpnntinn nt
Il good thing, but not in the thing itself,
and herein lies the mistake Of many who
condemn dancing. But somehow the pas
sion for dancing has drawn from its lcgit-
innate sphere what is termed ground dan
cing." Some fellow comes up and asks n
young lady ifhe may have the pleasure of
putting his arm around her waist for seve.
raj minutes, and whirling her through all
sorts of inappropriate attitudes, until she
is SO tired that breath has nearly departed
from her. Now, he don't use these words,
but his request is tantamount to such an
expression, and this is what we call carry
ing dancing to an excess.
We have attended many balls at Odd
Fellows Hall in New Orleans, and we
know that many young men went only to
see aI at COULD be seen in the round dan
ces! Don't say we are too plain in ourtalk.
We are not plain enough. No parent, no
brother, no husband, cares to see adalgll-
ter, sister or wife exposed to the ,jests and
remarks oithc public, and when an evil
begins to taStcn itself upon a community,
it will not do to deal mildly with it.; and we
are led to write as we do because We find
pure, sweet young ladies arguing that
round dances are right. They say it is cN-
%ercisc, but stulti!y themselves in that they
refuse to take any exercise unaccOmpan-
lei with close and qucStionablciproXimity
to some nice looking man. He isso strong
that he can support her, and consequently
she can dance better, but ifshe would only
drink in little ofthe fresh morning air,
and 90 to bed at Il reasonable hour, nc
such support would be needed. In brief
we regard round dances as Inappropriate
except between relations, or persons OF
the same sex, and the sooner public opin-
ion rrowns upon them The better.
We hate extremes, and shall take occa-
sion to speak of other social extremes as
we see fit,

TuU WIN. & ALA. RAILRoAD.--Judgc \.
l.. Demos has been selected by the parties
OH both sides, to sit rs special Judge in the
Chanccry Court, next Monday, in the case
of the Winchester Il Alabama Railroad,
which involves Il nice point of law. IT
aprtars that the old company transferred
its right to purchase the states interest to
Wright Il Co. that the company, failing
to make the first payment within the Six
ty days prescribed, asked and were grant
ed an extension ofninety days in Whichto
make said payment; that in the dccree
nothing was said with reference to any
stakeholder having the right to purchase
the states interest within the thirty days
given in the former decree, and that upon
the last of the thirty days, John frizzcll,
as Il stakeholder, rendered $4,000 in bonds
as the first payment toward the purchase
OF said interest. The point involved is,
whether the ninety days extension grant
ed to Wright Il Co. abolished the right OF
A stakeholder to purchase the States inter
est within the thirty days granted in the
former decree.
