EDrcATloN or WOMEN The last Unpublished
report on the examination of women conduct

4 BANK Sw1NDLE. Kansas City News
gives the following account Of the latest swim
die on record =
\ well-dressed gentleman, who Tor Identified
ton we will call Smith. entered the bank, and
in str.ig htiorward bllsincss-like manner de-
sired the bank to advance him the sum Of $500
on draft drawn by banking firm in neigh
boring State The parties being strangers, the
bank Informed him they could not advance the
money. 'Wel said Smith, 1T will make no
difference. You can take the draft and send
it forward for collection, and | will wait until
you get returns" This was agreed to by the
bank, and the draft was sent forward for col
lection. In due time the bank received a hand
somey gotten up draft on banking house in
New York, with the proper Government stamp
printed in, for the sum Of $500; which amount
was duly paid over to Smith, who departed.
The draft was sent to New York, and in
few days the bauk received the consoling ufor-
nation that the whole transaction was com
plete and successful fraud and swindle.
This is a game which could easily have been
played upon the most careful clearinghouse in
the country.

I(lDNNI-STcATED


The Legislature of the District Of Columbia
have appointed Committee on Manufactures
with rowing commission under which they
are now vigorously promeuading that extern
sive territory. One topic seems to exercise
them hugely, the water power Of the Chesa-
pcake and Ohio Canal, which they sly le won
dcrful" 1t is proposed to increase this Won
dcrful power by deepening and enlarging the
canal, and thus increasing the volume Of water:
The next step" say the committee, would
be the removal of the Alexandria aquednct,
which is not a source Of profit to the company,
and the alteration of the bridge TO connect with
the Virginia shore. This would open up the
river above the structure along the line Of the
canal which is navigable for more than a mile,
and would not interfere materially with the
canal trade as canal boats, after being loaded,
can be towed down by tug-boats equally as
cheap as they are lowed through the canal.
This suggestion strikes me as very cool-al-
most as much so as the proceedings OF the
Georgetown Council after the war, in regard
to the structure in question, in all of which 1t
was assumed that we on this side had no rights
in it which they were bound to respect, and its
demolition was loudly called for. What is the
present position of this water power question

ANSWERING LETTERS. great many poo
pie in this country are shanlctully Negligent
about answering letters Nothing is moe an
noyin. In European countries it is regarded
as the height of ill-brrading to allow a letter
which needs a reply to 20 unanswered, and 50
it ought to be considered here. This is a point
on which parents should lay great stress TO
their children They should be taught to con
slider it us rude not to reply to a letter which
needs attention as to hand fork with the
prong end. The busiest people are generally
those who are most exact in this respect. The
late Duke Of Wellington, who, it will be
admitted had good deal on his hands
at different times of his life, replied to
every letter. no matter from how hum
bic a source Once clergyman who lived
10 a distant pant Of the kingdom wrote to
his grace, on whom neither he nor his parish
had shadow of claim, to beg for a subscrp
ton to rebuild a church. BY return of mail
there CAME back letter from the Duke to the
effect that he really could not see why in the
world he should have been applied to for such an
object but the parson sold the letter as an
autograph for IS, and put the Duke down for
that amount among the subscribers ~

and from that to ten and fifteen, according
to rooms. These first class hotels, so called,
are patronized by all classes, mostly by
the floating mass of arstocracy who go the
rounds of all the popular watering places
every summer; also by the shoddy, who
in some way have made a strike and got
money enough TO go 1t strong on swell
for few weeks at least. Such take up the
most room, make the most noise, find the
most fault, and are the most to be dreaded
among society. There are also great
number of foolish papas and mammas who
have daughters in danger of passing the
marriageabe line, which they are anxious
to mate before II is too late; and many sue
ceed in disposing of them, and many get
.awfully taken in on both sides, as there are
plenty of fortune seekers, scamps in soft
clothing, watching for chances to freeze to
a little money. No sensible men or girls
choose mates at such places.
The shores Of this island are mostly cliffs
of rocks, steep and rugged, which have de-

The beach for bathing Is nearly mile
rom the city aud most q the hotels, and
although 1t is a very fine, hard sandy bot
tom, and perfectly safe beach for women

accident was never known, still II is not a
beach with sufficient depth and surf to be
enjoyed by a real lover of sal. water bath

long for bathing only.
And now the Hibernian and colored

they are so numerous and clamorOus for
privileges at the bathing houses the best
time in the day for bath, it has taken

THE CONFLICT CLosED.-My fellow-citi-
zens, 1 have been in the army; and know
that those who have gone through the
school of the war have learned something.
The Confederate soldier knows that some
thing has happened, that something has
been decided he knows that the decision
cannot be reversed. In other words, the
Confederate soldier knows that there has
been a war; that that war has had results.
He knows that when even by his heroic
struggles he could not prevent those results
from being achieved, that it would take
struggles ten times more heroic, far be-
yond the capacity of his people, to reverse
what has been accomplished. In him there
is a practical consciou sness of what has
been going on. therefore proclaim open
ly that have the greatest, the sinceres'
confidence in the good sense, in the grow
ing patriotism of the Confederate soldiers
of the South-(great applause)-and can
assure you that those who, as you stood
with arms in your hands on one side, stood
with arms in their hands on the other, are
at this moment with full hearts ready tc

CANoNs OF GOOD DREss.-First. All
honest and graceful dress should follow, as
far as possible, the shape of the body as
devised and found good by the great Arti-
ficer. All that follow those beautiful lines
must be themselves beautiful. All that
changes, delorms, or exaggerates those
lines must be senseless, ugly, ludcrous,
and untrue. Whether gown swell out in
to the hoops of the great tun of Heidelberg,
or project backward like the reverse side of
the llottcntot Venus, it is alike hideous. A
gown may be of many folds, of many
thickresses, but It should not turn a wo-
man into caricature of the form God
made, and made last Of all.
Secondly. Dress should be as much as
possible true and honest; simple and rich
all good dress must be. There is no object,
unless Il Bedlamite one, for instance, in
swelling the head into the size of a bushel,
with heaps of tow and shreds of dead peo-
pies hair; hair the antecedents of which
one shudders to think of. The human
head, strange 10 say, was grandly devised
and needs no Improvement if it be only
kept well filled with brains. To blow it
out like a bladder is only what feather
headed milliner could wish to do. The
perfect ideal of head is, we hold, we'll
shaped head, simply bound by braids of its
own glossy hair, knotted behind or woven
inio a crown more beautiful. than that of
jewels.
Thirdly. No thoughtful person should
feel any pleasure in wearing sham jewelry
sham anything. All shams are lies, false
pretences, dishonest assumptions, unwor-
thy of common sense and real genuehood.
The beauty OF gold is, that it is gold not
that it looks like gold. The quiet satisiac-
ton of wearing gold is, that it is pure, last
ing, beautiful metal, and just what it ap-
pears. To wear false gold is TO wear mis-
cradle pinchbeck deception, worthy only
\ of bagman and bagwomen, swindlers and
courtezans, and unbecoming the quiet
honesty and frank sincerity of honest peo-
pie.
Fourthly and lastly. Perfect dress should
be rich, but not exceptional. 1t should
never try to catch the eye, but please the
sense with a quiet, almost unconscious
charm. 1t is only the mountebank and the
swindler who swagger in red and yellow
1t is, or should be, only the Anonyma who
paints. Away, then, with all vulgar ex'
cess in
''siken coats and caps, and golden rings
with runs and cuffs and fardingales, and things
With scarfs and fans, and doube-change bravery,
with amber barcclsts beads, and all this knsvery"
