w As two civil engineers were at
work in the wilds of Michigan couple
of weeks ago, eighteen or twenty miles
from any camp, one of them began to
suspect that the other had become in
sane, a suspicion which was made GER
tain when his companion came to him
and said: IL wish you would hide my
revolver and the axes, for came very
near killing you with them last night.
I got the revolver and cooked it at
your head three times; but something
told me not to kill you with that, but
get the axe, and then I was command
ed not to kill you. But I am afraid
will if you don't hide them, and God
knows don't want to hurt any man.
This was not very pleasing informa.
ton, and he did his best to persuade
him to go back to the camp. Failing
in this he left him, went back alone

4 Short Sermon for Young Ladies.

The practical reformer, DR.. Dio
Lewis, is the author of the following
racy criticism upon the modern young
woman of fashion:
The idleness of our girls is deplora-
bic. A friend had three daughters and
two sons, all grown mp. He was
shopkeeper, and one of the sons was
employed in the shop. while the
three girls did nothing but dress, play
a little, make calls, receive calls, 60
shopping, and, during the summer,
visit the country for their health. The
business went on badly, until finally
the father called his daughters together
and told them THAT he was in debt and
that the only chance for the family
was that the girls should abandon their
idle life and help him to carry on the
business. This they did. The clerks
were discharged; the daughters be-
came industrious and useful, and the
family was saved from poverty and
distress.
All women long to bury their uncer-
tainties and anxieties in the love OF a
husband. Men. on their part, are
thinking of the Same thing; but only
the rich can afford to marry; it costs
too much. Besides, women make
themselves ugly. Look at one of them.
A big hump, three big Jumps in a
wilderness of crimps and frills, haul
ing up of the dress here and there, and
an enormous, hideous mass of false
hair or bark planted on the top of the
head, and on the very top of that a
little nom descript thing, ornamepted
with bits oflace, birds tails. and SO on ;
: while this shop windows tell us all day
long of the paddings, whalebones, and
springs which occupy most OF the
space within that outside ling. How
, can any man of sense who knows that
life is made up OF use and work, take
such partner? He must be desper-
ate to unite himself for life with such a
, deformed, tettered, half breathing ar
, rangement, Such women have nc
power or magnetism. They giggle
: freely and use big words, such as
: splendid" and lawful" but this does
not deceive us; we see through it all
The fact is, they are superficial, affect
S ed, silly. They have become so child
ish that they refuse to wear decent
! names even, aad insist upon little
baby names. Instead of Helen, Mar
I garet, Elizabeth, they affect Nellie
: Maggie, and Lizzie. Awoman twenty
FIVE years of age, whose real name il
Catherine, insists on being called
: Katie. How can q sensible man pro
pose life partnership to such silly
goose9 But if men could see tina
girls are Industrious and economical
l with habits that secure health ant
9 strength, that their life is earnest ant
}, real, that they are willing to begin a
the beginning in life with the maj
S they would consent to marry, thel
+ marriage would become the rule, ant
not be ITS now, among certain class

w The London Court Journal tells
about the very curious mode of fatten-
ing for the imperial harem practiced in
Morocco. You take a plump young
damsel of about fourteen, with a ten
dency to obesity--few Mooresque girls
are destitute of such a tendency land
you shut her up in room of which the
windows are carefully darkened by
heavy curtains of green silk. You
cause your plump young damsel to sit
crOss-legged on a divan, and then,
having by your side bowl full of
"couscoussou," or moistened m
rolled into balls, you cram her during
a certain number of hours every day
with as many of these balls as she
can conveniently swallow. We'll
crammed the Emperor of Morocco will
pay an exceedingly handsome price
for her. That nothing may interfere
with the due conduct of the fattening
process, a black nurse stands behind

The Kentucky Democracy.
THEIR NOMINATIONS AND RESOLUTIONS.

FRANKFORT, KY, May 4.-The Dem
ocratic State Convention which assem-
bled at this place. yesterday was
largely attended, and business was
dispatched with much interest and
spirit. The following gentleman were
nominated:
Governor-P. H. Leslie.
Lieutenant-G GOVERNOR. G. Carlisle.
Auditor-James w. Tate.
superintendent Public Instruction
H. A. NJ. Henderson.
Register Land Object. A. Dawson.
Attorney General-John Rodman.
The following resolutions were
adopted:
The Democratic party of Kentucky
in convention assembled, re-affirming
the principles announced by the con-
ventions held since the war, resolve
l. That wise craftsmanship and true
patriotism require universal and un.
qualified amnesty.
2. That the industries of the country
demand the abolition of the present
mode of raising the revenues, by which
portions of the republic are oppressed
and robbed to enrich monopolies and
certain sections and the speedy adop-
ton OF system by which tile burdens
of taxation will be equally anu justly
distributed, and the taxes actually paid
may reach tho Treasury.
3. That the preservation of liberty
is possible only through the States
and we protest against every act by
which States are deprived of this jusl
and constitutional power, and State
tribunals are outside of their proper
and necessary jurisdiction. And We
are ready to join in all lawful and JUS
measures to reverse the tyrannical act
of the party in power, whereby it il
sought to strip the States of all rights
and to concentrate all the power of thu
government in a great entralized DIES
potism.
4. We endorse the address recent,
issued by tho Democratic members o
Congress, and unite in condemning al
acts by which unconstitutional and DIES
potic powers are conferred upon til,
President, by which, with the nse 0
the army and navy, the suspension o
the writ ofhabeas corpus, the power t,
declare martial law, call out Il militi;
and invade the States without the re
quest of their executive or legislature
ard other underlined means, he can DIES
troy the freedom of elections, the indie
pendence OF the judiciary, and tn
sovereignty of the States.
5. Kentucky is unutterably oppose,
to every form of lawlessness, whethe
committed under cover of unconstitu
tional enactments or organized bands
and we pledge ourselves, as occasion
may arise, to use every legal means t
prevent the one and to have enacte
such laws as experience may demon
strate to be necessary to put down tn
other, and to furnish protection to life
liberty and property, under the law
enacted by our own Legislature an
administered by our own Courts.
