BoREs.-What constitutes a bore? What
combination of qualities goes to make up that
scourge of civilization? A total lack of hui
NOR, we should say, and of that sympathetic
power which enables person to see, as if by
instinct, whether he or his conversation be
agreeable to the listener, joined sometimes to
intense egotism though this last is not nee
cssary ingredient in the borcs character, except
in so far as it is connected with want of SYM
patlly. The essence of the bore is the absence
Of the sympathetic power. This by no means
implies the absence of sympathetic power
The two are quite distinct. Aperson may bore
one to death with sympathy, by offering it at
the wrong time. A bore has no tact: This is
why the masculine bore 50 largely predominates
over the feminine. Womcn as a rule, have
more tact than men. They are moro sympa-
thctic, too, their finer sensibilites enabling
them to feel the pulse, as it were, of the indi-
vidual with whom they are convcrsing, or the
society in which they are mixing. But, though
the feminine type is rarcr than the masculine. las
it is infinitely the worse of the two. The rari-
ty is more than compensated for by the inten-
sity.

EQUAL TO THE EMEReENCY.-On Tuesday
last, policeman McNulty, of Philadelphia, was
torn sadly by conflict betyeen modesty and
duty, but duty dragged him at last from her
rival, and placed him in an embarrassing yet
honorable position. At the South street bath
house there are "male" and "female" days,
and Wednesday was of the latter SORT The
bath-house was filled with such naiads as Phil
adelphia, that city of beauties, alone can pro-
duce, Not one of them was dressed-even in
a lace collar Now the floor of the natatorium
is an inclined plane, and a little girl tumbled
into place too deep for her, and was in i'm
minent danger of drowning. Of course, when
such crisis came, the ladies could only wiring
their hands and scream for help Policeman
McNulty heard that scream. For an instant
he hcsitated. Modesty caught him by the coat
tail and shrieked "Ba {! shamep and had she
been classical would have spoken of the fate of
Acteon. Duty caught him by the collar; said
little, but gave him raise up to the bath h-house
window, and then, with a coup de pied, sent him
head first in among the pink beauties who
shrunk, yet feared to fly. They pointed to the
spot where little Mary Wilson had sunk "for
the third time," and in he plunged boldly, re-
gardless of all save virtue and his duty. The
child was saved, and when Mr.. McNulty looked
up he saw but rctrcating forms and dripping
hcads-the latter protruding from, the former
just entering the bathing-rooms.

How MOSQUITOES BITE.-The musquito has
a proboscis like an elephant, only not so large.
1t will, however, look nearly as large Under
good microscope. He cannot do as many ham
dy things with it as the elephant can with his,
but he can cause good deal of annoyance in
small way with it. 1t is hardly the thing to
say the nlusquito bites U.S. for he has no teeth.
The microscope reveals the fact that he carries
a pair OF scissors inside of his proboscis (; the
neatest and sharpest little cutting tools you ev-
er saw. He gets his living by these. They are
two delicate blades, and are placed alongside of
each other When he gets ready to make
meal off of us, he first buzzes around with those
beautiful wings, and sings pleasant little song.
If we let him quietly settle down, he picks out
place on our skin which is just to his liking.
ready, he puts his proboscis down, and pushes
the little scissors out, and makes neat cut, so
that he can suck the blood out.
Then he drinks as much blood as he wants
and is done his dinner. But he does not leave
yet He is going to pay his bill. He has ta-
ken our blood, and he will leave us something
in exchange for it. With all his faults he is
an honest little fellow--after his fashion. He
has the pay in his pocket, ready to squeeze out
before he goes. 1t is poison, but that makes
no difference to him. 1t is the best he has to
give lis. His poison pocket is at the head of
his proboscis, and at the lower end of his pro-
boscis he has another little pocket into which
he puts poison enough for one dose. This poi
son is very powerful. A very little makes the
place where the musquito puts it very sore.
After he has sucked our blood, he puts the drop
of poison into the place he took the blood from.
1t is not the "bite" or cut that the musquito
makes that hurts, but the dropping of thispow-
erful poison into our flesh. If this musquito
were large enough to give powerful does of
this poison, it would be bad for us. If he were
as big as kitten, and his poison as strong in
proportion, "bite" from him would kill us.

Mrs. PEr1eRu KING BowEN.-A Washing.


ton correspondent writes
AS for Mrs. Bowen her case excites the deep.
est interest and sympathy here. She is devo-
tedly attached to her numerous husband, and
declares that she will stick to him. She be-
lieves that her marriage was legal and that it
was formed in good faith by both her husband
and herself. 1t is said they are now living to-
gether, occupying house here owned by her.
self Bowcn's friends assert that he will at
once take steps to procure legal divorce, to
which he is entitled, while persons who are not
particularly friendly say he will do nothing of
the kind-that he is not entitled to divorce
that no court would dare to grant it now, and
that he dare not apply for it; but that he and
Mrs. Petigru King will continue to live togeth-
er, leaving the world to say and think as it
please, thus leaving it in the hands of the 9TH
er two Mistresses Bowen to obtain divorces on
the ground of adultery, if they see fit The
gentleman who lives in Charleston, above al
ludcd to- says that Mrs. Bowen was celebrated
Tor her wit and sarcasm in Charleston, and he
related many instances of her briliancy in con-
versaton and in society. She was at one time
regarded as the most brilliant and fascinating
woman in the State, and owing to her fathers
position, her society was greatly sought by dis
tinguished strangers. She was, in fact, in her
prime (perhaps after she was married to her
first husband the sort of woman that was al
ways popular among gentlemen, but looked up
on with suspicion (born of envy you may be
sure) by the ladies. She reigned supreme in
every assembly, party or rout, and the prim.
modest-going ladies called her fast

A GRIEyoUs WRoNG-Therc is the soundest
common sense in the following paragraph from
the Manufacturer and Builder:
WHY is it that there is such repugnance on
the part of parents to putting their sons to a
trade? A skilled mechanic is an independent
man. Go where he will his craft will bring
him a support. He need ask favors of none.
He has literally his fortune in his own hands.
Yet foolish parents-ambitious that their sons
should "rise in the world" as they say-are
more willing that they should study for pro-
fession. with the chances Of even moderate sue
cess heavily against them, or run the risk of
spending their days in the ignoble task Of re-
failing drygoods, or of toiling at the account
ants desk, than learn trade which gives them
manly strength, health and independence. In
point of fact, the method they choose is the one
least likely to achieve the advancement aimed
at, for the supply of candidates fer "errand
bows" drygoods clerks and kindred occupations
is notoriously over-stocked while on the other
hand, the demand for really skilled mechanics
of every description is as VIGOROUSLY beyond
supply. The crying need of the country to-day
is for skilled labor; and that father who neg.
lects to provide his son with useful trade, and
to see that he thoroughly masters it, docs him
a.grievous wrong and runs the risk of helping
by so much to increase the stock OF idle and
dependent, if not vicious members Of society
It IS stated in the report of the Prison Associa.
ton lately issued, that of fourteen thousand
five hundred and ninety prisoners confined IN
the thirty States in 1867, seventy-seven per
cent, or over ten thousand of the number ncv-
er learned trade. The fact conveys lesson
of profound interest to those who have in
charge the training of boys and girls, too, for
the active duties of life.

ROMANCE OF RAH.RoADING.--A writer in
late number of Putnam's Magazine gives us this
enticing description of trip across the CONT
nent per rail:
"The perfection of American railway travel
ing is found on that greatest of roads known to
the world, the Pacific Railroad. The lucky
holder of a through ticket in one of the So
called Pullman cars, who finds, within the same
coach, his seat by day and his couch by night,
aud restaurant where he may either pay q
sum of money for all his meals during the
Journey, or order each time what he chooses,
has rare opportunity of enjoying the luxury
of travelling in his fullest extent. AS the train
carries him swiftly along he sees every phase
of civilization unrollcd rs in vast panorama
before his eye; here in the East, the large city,
with all the evidences of highest culture and
greatest wealth then the borderland, where
the new settler and the squatter bring their
cheerful sacrifice of hard life's work for the
benefit of the coming generation; next the
primeval forest and the boundlcss prairie, with
an abundance of animal life while the emf
grants slow oxen and the Indians shaggy po-
nv eye each other suspiciously, and their mas
ters represent, in striking contrast, the dying
race of the owner of the soil and the undaunt-
ed energy of the unsurpcr Then he catches
glimpse at the strange Prophets home, who
rules like Mohammcd over host of deluded
beings, which he has drawn to him across the
vast ocean and the great prairics of the New
World, from the very centres of civilization
and tic remotcst corners Of Europe. He rises
from his comfortable dinner aud smokes his
cigar as he climbs the Rocky Mountains, with
their weird canons and their snow-covcred
heights, and when he awakes again, he finds
himself on the Pacific SLOPE SOON to see the
Golden Gate, opening before him upon the still
waters ofanothcr ocean,"

THE Ku KLux CoMM1rrEE.-The Yorkville

THE KU KLUX CoNGMIrTEE.-TheY Yorkyille
ENQUIRER, of the 9th ult., says:
.drbe sub-Outrage Committee, consisting of
Messrs. Scott, Stevenson and Van Trump,
reached this place on Saturday last, accompa-
MED by A. S. Wallace, M. G. from this District.
AS much effort had previously been made to
prepare suitable cases for them, the committee
were ready to 60 vigorously to work early on
Monday morning; and the early part OF the
day was occupied in the examination Of sever
al Young men of this town. In the afternoon,
Hon. w. d. Simpson and Col B. w. Ball, OF
Laurens, after having obeyed summons to meet
the committee at various points, obtained an
examination, and left early on Tuesday morn
ing for home. The second day was opened by
continuing the examination of persons from
this town and the surrounding country. The
street reports are to the effect that the persis-
tence of the majority of the ommittce-aided
bv the military and other influences equally po-
tent-had been rewarded by the discovery of
witness who had made out capital case for
the next Republican campaign document
This witness, it is reported, stated in substance
to the committee that he knew number of
persons who had been engaged in the ku kluX
outrages and gave the names of eighteen gen.
tler,en from this vicinity-persOns of high re-
snectability. These eighteen had performed
Wonderful amount of deviltry; had most of
them been present at the murder of the negro,
Anderson Brown, which occurred last winter,
four miles from this place; and many of them
were also the murderers of the militia captain,
Jim Rainey, occurring shortly afterward, in
the Bethesda neighborhood, ten miles below
here. They had also raided on Roses hotel,
the Probate Office, and done other crimes equal
ly heinous. The witness also admitted, on
cross-examination, that he had stolen horse,
a quantity of bacon and tobacco from his en-
ployer, and was generally 20 bad man." His
name is William X. Owens, and he has been;
employed for some time in the coach factory Of
Messrs. Kerr q Roach. The statements of this
witness were so palpably false in every partic-
ular as to cause little concern to those whose
names he has used in his history; but ut the
same time, it is sufficiently credible, perhaps,
for all the purposes for which the testimony is
wanted at Washington.
at is announced that the committee will
close their work here, to day, "Wednesday and
dissolve until September, when many Of the
unexamincd witnesses will be called to Wash
ington, and their testimony taken in time to
finish up the investigation before the meeting
of Congress Thus far, no arrests of suspected
persons have been made at this place"
