There is no valid reason why colored peo-
pie should not ride in Baltimore street cars
with proud Caucasians. Indeed, Baltimore
has long been surrounded BY negro-tolerat-
ing communities. Washington, New York,
and Philadelphia having set the example
yean ago. Until now, however, Baltimore
has held ont against the innovation, but the
fine old Baltimore gentleman has just been
compelled to submit to the presence Of the
obnoxious negro, the United States District
Court having mulcted streea-car company

Mrs. Livermore thinks Horace Greeley is
dumb fool with his idea of locking his
daughten up in cloisters out Of the way OF
men, and said she could not forbear telling
him it was q great pity he was not on hand
when God made the world, in order to hint
10 him q better way than be had found out;
for while the Lord was making the world,
he might just Is well have put the men on
one planet and the women on another, and
then we never should have got together, and
there would bave been no trouble. Men,
she added, needed the associations Of women
in politics, and whenever woman has the
ballot in her land it will signify that she is
the legal equal Of man.

BY Governor Grant, Brown, IF Missouri,

why Flirss Done Marry.

II il remarkable, but nevertheless true,
that, as a rule, hirts, both male and female,
do not marry quickly. The chances are that
a hirt who become engaged at eighteen, and
goes on becoming engaged and disengaged,
is the custom for flirt- to do, ultimately
settles down into confirmed old maid, too.
If she does wed, as a general rule, she devel-
ops into a viruleDt warp, makes her husband
miserable, and brinss up her children badly
1t is not very difficult to find reasons why
firts do not marry. Sensible men admire
in woman something besidea pretty face and
engaging manners. They love intellect, COM
mon sense and heart, qualifications which the
firt does not possess. The true woman allows
her affections full play, aud Is not ashamed
of them. She will not lead man to believe
that she cares for him when she does no such
thing; she will not firt wi h him Just for the
sake Of flirting.
She has a truer conception of what il
right, and possesses great deal more COM
mon sense. She has derived her education
from something else than ree-volume nov.
els and the society of the empty. pated. She
can be thoroughly merry; but she knows how
to be merry without being idiotic She may
attract less attention in drawing-room than
the firt does. because she is less noisy and
obtruslye; but, for all that, she will get mar
ried sooner, and make her husband better
and truer wife
A true woman does not care for the
spooney young man. She dislikes his fop-
pishness, the vivid compliments he pays her,
and his eieminacy. He quickly finds this
out and leaves her in peace. Thus, if he
ultimately gets married, it is to firt, and
the happy pair lead The jolliest nt-asd-dog
life imaginable.

The note is tense and positive, the Secretary
