The unmarried ladies Of The Moquis
tribe Of Indians Of Arizona are q curiosity
to us outside heathcns. They wear their
hair in such romantic style that there is
DO danger of a fellow installing one for
a married woman. AS soon ~ they are
manageable they do their hair up ON
each side Of the head, something in the
shape ottwo great wings, or as it most
reminds one Of the wheels of q propeller.
The dear creatures look as if they were
just ready to lly. As soon as they enter
the holy bands Of matrimony they drop
thcir wings, and then their hair hangs in
long rolls by the side of the head.

situation, sent ont q servant To him with
an umbrella Blitkins went away in &C.

attired himself in most elaborate and
stunning array of starch and jewels, he
took the umbrella, which was an Old one,
and laid it away with his treasures Of con.
quest rs a souvenir; and then he went
forth to purchase an affair to replace il of
the most beautiful and costly kind Thus
equipped he called upon the lady to re-
turn her fatterjng loan She admitted
him to her presence, and received the UNI
brella without apparently noticing the eT-
change; and 1t was not until she had lis
tened, with becoming gravity TO his dra-

Indeed, sir, replied the maiden, with

CLICK 1RANSIT.

We are informed that an agreement was
yesterday effected between the Harlem Rall-
road represented by Com. Vanderbilt and the
uptown interest which has for some time
demanded more complete sinking and roofing
over of the track between the great depot
at Forty-second-st. and the Harlem Bridge
than the Commodore considered necessary or
(unless at too great cost feasible. There is
some abatement of extreme pretensons on
either side, but the greater concessions are made
by the Company-the agreement requiring the
track to be sunk so as to be covered for the
greater part of the way. Suffice 1t that Harlem
is satisfied, and will no longer insist that the
speed of trains passing through that lively
village shall be reduced to five miles per hour.
But there is third party whose interest
seems to us to have been overlooked in this
adjustment. We allude to the City, whose
taxpayers, we understand, are to be nnicted IN
half the expense of this costly job. Is this just
With what reason are houses i'll the lAth

Assess on the real estate within one hundred
feet Of that Avenue just half OF what this
sinking and roofing will cost, and there would
be nothing left to be saddled upon the whole
City; and those lots were almost wholly
bought by their present owners at low
price because of their proximity to great
surface railroad. Now they arc. to be doubled

The vote of the House whereby Mr. VIII
lard's bill was recommitted-that is, buried
we regard as one of the most honest demOnstra-
tons Of the session, next to that which
knocked in the head the abolition of the
Franking Privilege. Evidently, this House
does not believe in either of the Reforms in
question, and does not feel constrained to
practice any but the most transparent hypoc-
risy on the subject. And, when you mean not
to do thing, and fear no evil consequence of
saying that you won't do it, why not say just
that
We believe in the abolition of the Franking
Privilege That is to say: We would make

would pay its own way, as it should, instead
of imposing q heavy burden annually upon
the Treasury. But, since this Congress will

We knew and had made up our minds to
meet the consequences before publishing the
article on "Foul Food" about which a few in
digndnt butchers have made comm0tion
We know what libel suits are-wc believe in
them whenever anybody has been libeled and
correction refused-and we are quite prepared
for any which may be brought about by the
exposures alluded to. The offended butchers
have subscribed $500 to begin q suit against
us, which sum will probably buy an opinion
from the lawyer who suggested the unwisc
and indignant proceedings. Wo will give
them one of greater value for nothing Don't.
We know the rights of these men, and
respect them. We know, too, the rights of
fair and capable dealers, and we propose to
protect them, when public officials fail in
their duty. We so exposed Elias and his
watch sale because we knew him to be an
old confirmed rogue whom police officials
failed to prosecute, and because honest manu-
facturers were suiieFng on account of his
swindles A higher duty still impelled us to
publish the names of those who sold
markets. In the first place, delinouent
officers were to be condemned; in the
second place, honest dealers were to be pro-
tectcd and in the third place, and most i'm
portant consideration of ALL the public health
demanded to be guarded. These duties we
recognize. We have performed them in the
case of the butchers. and shall again in few

orr COUNTER CASE.

We have a broadside of new intelligence
this morning in regard to the Alabama qucs-
ton. We print an exact copy Of our Counter
Case, which is chiefly devoted to the corIec-
ton of errors in the English Case, errors as
well of history as of logic and deduction 1t
seems to us that these corrections are mainly
justified. They are stated with an acuteness
and q discretion which would have come Won
derfully in play in the original Case. AS if
conscious of the unfortunate manner in which
it had presented our original claims, by which
the dormant jealousy of q people was out
ragged and excited, the present argl-
ment is distinguished for its courtesy and
its candOr.
But tho evidence begins to accumulate
that the tardy change may have come too
late. The Opposition in Parliament seem,
yesterday, to have resolved that they
will at once force debate upon the Geneva
question, and the Duke of Richmond and Mr..
Disraci gave notice that they would call the
matter up to-day Lord Oranmore attacked
the Government with especial energy for hav-
ing compromised themselves by asking ques-
tons of the American Envoy in regard to the
presentation of the English Counter Case;
charge which Earl Granville promptly denied,
but admitted that tho question had been
asked, though no answer had been as yet re-
ccycd. In the mean time we are not
idle on our side. 1t is reported that Judge
Peters still intends to bring up his resolution
for the withdrawal of the indirect claims,
although the state Department has informed
him that the Case will not be withdrawn or
modified. This faithful friend intends, how
ever, to stand by the Administration in his
own way, and to lift it violently, if need be,
out of the slough in which it seems at present

Mr.. spurgeOn expressed his mind freely concern
ing the Agricultural Strike at late meeting Of the
metropolitan Tabernacle Colporteurs' Association.
Mr.. Spurgeon took a religious view of the matter
which, it appears to us. sufficiently complicated
before. 1t often happened, he said that clergyman
in a country district know as much about the Cos
pei rs a ploughman about medicine. If poor man
went to a Dissenting Westinghouse, and the squire
heard of it, he told his tenant that he mnst do
nothing Of the sort. At any rate, If not
directly informed, the laborer learned it when
Christmas strongly favored with the thirty
nine Articles and the Catcchism, came round" de
got nothing himself and his wife went without
blanket in the cold. The strike, Mr.. Spurgeon de-
cared, had his perfect approval. He wondered that
the aborers had not stirred long ago. The farmers
if they were pinched by rise in wages, must pinch
the landlords, for whom Mr. Spurgeon had little
sympathy since "thcy had their thousands on acres
and could stand little squeezing without being re-
duccd to abject poverty thereby" Mr.. Spurgecn
evidently feels for tho sIilerings of the dissenting
poor-hc feels as man, and he also feels as
Baptist.
