EDITORIAL NOTES.

Louisville boasts Of young lady about
eighteen years OF age, who can lift tub of
clothing frcm the ground to an elevation of
four feet, and have the clothesline white with
the result of the labor of her own little hand
in short while. Meantime her mother sits
in the parlor taking her ease in her old age.
This is the very reverse Of polite and refined,
and yet thai young lady will make the best
wife in the world fo- some sensible young
man-if there are any of that sort left.
1t might be profitable to look into the
wagons of the travelling peggars before gifts
upon them to any great extent. Last week
party of miserable looking women passed
through Lexington, Scott county, on regu-
lar professional begging expedition, and
worked upon the sympathies of the citizens
of that place TO such an extent as to get quite
lot of worldly goods such as clothing, edi-
bles. etc. They had a small wagon with
| them in which they deposited the fruits Of
their labor, in this wagon were discovered
three great, lazy, lusty, stalwart men. From
this simple fact we have arrived at the con-
clusion that poverty, as well as affluence, has
its pleasures.
German, living near Hamilton, Ohio, in
attempting. on Wednesday last, to illustrate
the manner in which Vallandigham killed
himself, also shot himself in the same manner
and nearly and nearly in the same place. At
last accounts he was still living with q fair
prospect of recovery. 1t is safe to presume,
after these two illustr atoms. that man can
shoot himself in the side in taking revolver
out Of his pants pocket, and it is respectfully
suggested that further demonstra tons are
entirely unnecessary.
The Department of Agriculture continues
to have discouraging reports as to the cotton
crop in the Gulf States.
Mrs. Fairs remark, +" II poor, dear Critten-

Venezuela is not to be lie # out in the COLI
while other nations are having their littl
& amusenents. She is getting up commun
. of her own, to tie utter disorganization Q
I. society, the destruction of all trade an

Summer has made decided change in Al
ranging the hair and there is now possil,i
ity OF obtaining some idea of the shape of
lady's head. The deforming chiguons ar
y doomed, and already begin to disappear. A
one of the late weddings the prettiest girls ar
peared with their own hair simply braide
5, and pinned up in loops behind. A few, wit
{. luxurant locks, wear two hanging braids, tic
= an inch or wo from TIE end with a ribbon.
