MARRYING FOR MoNEY-Marrying for
money in the expectation Of soon becoming a
rich widow or widower, is very uncertain spec
ulation. A California correspond ent of the
Chicago Tribune gives an account OF a. gentle
man formerly in the Spanish army, who long
ago married widow lady fifty-seven years. OF
age, who was possessed Of great riches. with
cHnsumptive tendency and no membranes.
She was much older than the bridegroom, but
her prospects for an extended lease of lite were
very poor, and the mercenary husband congrrat-
ulated himself on the probability OF speedily
coming into full and undivided possession OF II
human hopes! that indomitable woman with a
consumptivc tendency, in defiance OF all laws
of probability, continued to live on until fifty
seven more years had expired, and has only re-

appearance, had recourse to various prepara-
tons, both in Europe and in this. country; but
they all had one great defect-they dyed the

my hair being dark brown. | consider your
Discovery the best preparation know of.

10 1T oMINous OF wARs

The Chprleston correspondent Of the
New Yofk Herald, in a recent letter
thus alludes to the appearance aud
reception of some of the Caroliua RiAe
Clubs. These clubs are becoming quite
common, South Carolina having twelve.
The corresI ondent thus refers to them :;
t"Three days ago, for the first time
since the war, eight hundred white
men, many of them belonging 10 the
best families in the State, marched
through the main streets of the city
with the precision of veterans, each
man uniformed and equipped in rife
green or gag. and carrying Reming>
ton or a Winchester sixteen shooting
rife ON his shoulder. Bands played
and as a teslin ony OF feeling Of the fair
sex. swarms Of ladies OF the first society
gathered at window. balcony, doorstep
and sidewalk to smile at aud wave.
handkerchiefs to the young men, who.
for the first tin since 1865. have ap-
peared openly with arms and uniforms
in this State"
We remember IN days long since
gone by having read accounts of siuli-
lar scenes in the sume locality These
scenes increased in number until they
eliminated in the great civil war
From that time till now we heard not
of Rifle Clubs para1ing the streets
with banners flying and drums beating
and the members uniformed in the
green and gray" What is the mean
ing !! What the inference We are
told these Clubs appeared for the fri
time openly. Is it to be inferred frou
this that they have been drilling il
secret, and have put off their public
appearance until such time as they
deemed favorable for themselves
Does it mean that the scenes 0f those
gloomy years from 81 to '65 are to 10
re-enactcd? We hope not. Yet The
con;inuous assertions of some of III,
press Of the country arc to the efec
that the South only want an opportunity
to make another desperate struggle
That they think the opportunity close
at hand is evident from their actions.

HOW To KILL A TOWN.

A contemporary has the following
excellent article under the above
heading:
IT you have a house to build, send
off for all the material, and even emplo,
workmen away from home to do the
job. while your home mechanics lay
idle for something to do. Send what
money you have to expend away from
home. You will probably get it back
again, but woe to the mechanic and
laburer. it he must wait until 1t comes.
1t may do for those who can stand it.,
yet it will never do for the poor man i,
as he must go somewhere to ger bread
If you see stranger come amongst
you, just pick and fleece him OF all he
has 1t will make you rich, but it does
not give the people OF your place good
name abroad, aud no one would wish to
settle where they were in danger of
thus being robbed OF what they have.
Have a high esteem for that mighty
person, Myself Don't think any one
else as good, intelligent, or as respec-
table Us yourself. Don't associate, or
look upon them kindly Consider them
beneath you, then they will feel tho
sting of contempt aud leave your place,
10 seek ether quarters where they will
fud better and kinder treatment.
Ii you have newspaper in the
place, don't support it. Say, 1T will
not pay to subscribe for paper, times
are too hard"

DALLAS, SATURDAY, JTNE 8.
Speciality I'm business.

The primary lesson for young MAJ
to learn, in order to insure success, i
speciality in business. He may hav,
an array of talent which far exceeds tha
of any of his fellows, aud yet in th,
great race of life, come out far behind
those. who scarcely reach medic, rity
simply BY not conining himself to some
special trade or profession, and bending
his energies 20 the accomplishment Of
some special object. The thing for "a
young man to strive for. if he be ambi-
tious of pecuniary success in the world
is strict attention to some one branch
Of business which he may select, and 10
make himself proficient in it. He will
thus raise himself above those who only
reach mediocrity, aud render his SER
vices necessary TO those who employ
him, and then receive his own price for
that which he can do particularly well.
Without this special superiority, he
comes into competition with the many
who are only average, and must neces-
sarily be content with average compen
sation in return. The too common
practice of wishing for excellence with>
out using tie necessary cxertion for III
attainment mnst be abolished and in
its place must be substituted deter
minatiou to keel, tt whatever cost OF
time or labor. A wish for fame or
eminence is innate In the human
breast, and properly so, for without II
man would have nothing to prompt
him to any extra exertton more than
the mere maintenance Of life. The
pleasant eminence of excellence, how
ever, is not to be attained hy wishing
merely it requires good hard work and
plenty Of it. The world does not ply
people for being idle, nor Tor DONG that
which is idly done. Th' re is labor to
be done in all professions and trades,
however easy they may seem after they
are learned; and the beginner shou d
never finch from it. for it is ouly by
his own exertions that he can attain
the speciality that is to bring him
future happiness and honor, and what
is of equal value, future gold.

EDUCATE THE GIRLS.

&
It is too common practice among
the people to educate their boysa the
expense and neglect of their daughters
This should not be SO. In the very
nature ofthings woman has the training
of the little ones who are to fill the
avenues of business and social life in
The future She is the custodian, so to
speak, of her country's honor. No man
in the worlds history has gained an
enviable reputation who did not receive
his first incentive to ambition from the
virtuous training of his mother 1t is
in vain to search history for aninstance
of solid worth, motives Of true patriot>
ism, character, heroism, or distinguished
friendship, which has not been nodded
and formed by the gentle and yet pow
erful influence of the true woman n
Swift understood this when he said
"show me the mother, and | will show
you the man" 1t could not possibly
be otherwise. How often do we see the
noble hearted mother entertain such
lively interest in her son as to prefer
his happiness and comfort to her own,
This principle in her nature was, and
is, attributed by some to her wan,
of ability, claiming that it showed a
want of frmness, which was plainly
apparent in man. Thanks to tho en-
lightenmcnt oil the times. these opinions
have passed away, and the foundation
upon which they rested proved a deu
sien, as baseiess as the s. fantas tic
visions of the evening" The test,
which have been put upon her have
proven that she is mans peer, lntellec
tuaIly, and his superior, morally aud
socially As the Spartan mother fieC
the heart of the soldier with a noble
daring spirit which has seldoa beer
eqaalied, aud never exceled; as III,
noble mother of the . Stern, unyieldins
Romans gave them the proud emf
nence TO which they attained, and n
the sathe time boosted that their riches
