CONCLUSION.

/ 90 for Mr.. Hulme. l think he pictured
the Pennsylv mia railroad in its true light.
1t is a company of wild, adventurous, dis
solute spectators. 1t catches up these
other roads, subordinates them, and pau
perzes them. Is Virginia ready to give up
control of her roads, and allow them to be
pauper parasites of roads outside Of the
State? When / see these things / tremble
for Virginia-for her old purity, for her old
moral. 1 dread the approach of the north
ern railroad companies as much as would
another northern invasion which I could
not resist. Virginia-my country-dear to
my heart as the life-blood that warns it !!
May she resist it all, and her character still
shine out in the moral gloom Of the prevail
ing corruption "like good deed in a
naughty world"

CRIMPING THE HAIR.-HGrper's Bazaar
has an article on Hair Crimping, and thus
combats the opinion that the process is a
beautifying one:
Lucretia, matron of that great middle
class which makes our population, indepen-
IDENTIFY of the excrescences of the very rich or
the very poor, must crimp her hair because
Tarpea crimps hers, and then because it is
so beautifying. Beautlfying to whose gazes
40 ,aieht ask. Certainly not to her hns-
bands, must be ropIiod; for he is
obliged to see a creature horned and
knobbed as the sacred COW, confront him
during the greater pal t OF his hours at home.
Those hideous protuberances over each tenn
pie were the last things he saw ere turning
down the light at night; they are the first
that catch his eye at sunrise; they are stamp
ed upon bis departing retina as he leaves the
house tor his daily task. He Dust have his
breakfast before he goes, of course; most
likely there is no one but Lucretla to prepare
it-Lucretia, whose culinary skill is doubtless
all it should be. Tarquin's wife breakfasts
in her room alone, or has some dainty device
OF lace or muslin, to bind over her hair aud
hide its condition, or has a maid to crimp it
freshly when needed, or wears her hat 10 the
iaoie with false crimps sewed in: but Lncre-
tia's lot in HE is different. Ii Lucretia takes
down her hair, and goes about her hot work,
tne halr Will be as straight as lax in half an
hour; Besides, size has no time to take il
down, to pick it out thread by thread, to shade
it into place, to bind it with its necessary
combs and ribbons. But then If she is going
to pour coffee with her head looking like a
"hOOraw's nest" a clean collar or any collar
would be but burlesque upon it. A sense
ofe tn eternal fitness OF things restrains her
from putting on collar. If she had put on
a collar she would have been ashamed of a
soiled gown. As it is, you see, the crimp has
reached down its tilameEts like the fibres of
some subtitle disease, and has corrupted all
the economy of her household. If it were
not for the crimp her hair would be smoothly
brushed; she would have bit of linen at her
throat; her gown would be as clean as cir
cumstances allowed the children would be
inviting, even if they made themselves so by
scrubbing polish ON tkeir rosy cheeks
But it would be very ridiculous for Lu-
cretia, in the light of her own example, to
insist that the little ones should have neat
pinafores, and faces or heads like anything
but mops and dOor-mats; and if the table is
too well set, will it not be travesty on those
around it.? Such household gods, we must
needs confess, are unlikely to be so sacred as
to prevent the bicker and quarrel, or SO en-
ticing that their proprietor should hasten
home to them at night; and if be does not
feel sick at heart and disgusted with his ek-
peri-nce oil domestic life, it is because the
poverty of his imagination suggests nothing
better,

A SHARP BIT OF SPRAY FROM NEWPORT

They tell an excellent story about clever
Boston belle at Newport. She is like MANY
other fashionable Bostonians, conceited. self
conscious, and selfesteemed "smart." In con
versation she appears to take infinite delight
in asserting her knowledge, and corrects 9th
ers frequently as to their grammatical Ian
guage and mode of expression. She had oft
entimes mortified New York banker in com
pany in this manner, and he, piqued and an
noyed, determined to retaliate. One after
noon she was handed his card, upon when
was written an invitation to ride with MIN III
a new "dog cart" The invitation was gra-
ciously accepted, and at the appointed h0ur
Miss appeared on the hotel piazza, elaoo'
,ately dressed for the ride on the oeach. one
was met by Mr.. -, who apologized for the
late arrival of his turnout. She waited full
half hour, and was just expressing her i'm
natience. when miniature boI audgOn dra,vr
bu t,vo dogs, with white harness, was led ur
to the door by a colored groom in handsome
livery, This, madam" said the gentleman
sis my dog cart, pray allow me to assist vol

clined and withdrew to her room in a grea
rage, followed by the audible litter of the nu
merous company assembled on the piazza

A Berlin correspondent of the New York
Nation relates the following: "On the entry
of one of the Metz regiments (the Eighty
Seventh, which is recruited in Nassau), wit
messed little incident which is worthy OF
being nrrrated here. The regiment was on
its way to the Schlossplatz, when a stout,
resolute peasant woman broke through the
ranks, put away the officer at the head of the
squad, and embraced her husband, loudly cry
ing: He has belonged to you long enough,
now he is mine once more, aud you will new
er get hold of him againp When the other
women standing along the street, and eager
ly watching for their turn, noticed this un-
ceremonious procedure, there was no longer
any restraint; they all broke into the lines
and each Of them seized her son, husband or
sweetheart. The captain could not defend
himself against this invasion, good-naturedly
suffered to pass what he could not stop, and
led his men and women to the Schlossplatz,
where amid the cheering of the people the
women assisted the soldiers in unstrapping
their knapsacks, or held their needle-guns,
while in the other hand each carried bundle
of modest citizens clothes, aud afterward all
ate and drank merrily together.
