Lodgings for single ,aentIemen.

1t becomes a grave question OF the day
whether bachelors have any rights that
are to be respected. In many cities phi
lantbropists have erected modellodging-
houses on large scale, but in Memphis
no such race of humanity-lovers exist
lin fact, they can't afford to exist. We
have thousands of unmarried men, sin
gle, middle-aged and old, who struggle
along upon narrow incomes, and to
whom the question of living presents
many Sphinx-like and complicated
phases. If solitude, SO much admired
by the chap who yelled out "Oh, for a
lodge in some vast wilderness" is not
enjoyed, the single man seeks far and
near for lodgings for single gentle
men," Too often he falls into an arti-
fee and trap. Bachelors have their
ways, aud it is said, much as they love
women and children in the abstract, they
prefer unsentimental tranquility, as they
smoke their pipes, to the silvery gossip
of women or the soft infantile babble
that is waited on the air from the sd-
joining or far distant nurseries. The
single gentleman thinks he has found
haven of rest, settles in his room and
enjoys that peace past all understand
ing, when at once drums, tin trumpets,
poodle dogs and vocal music on the up.
per register, startle him from his reve-
ries and he is unhappy. What is to be-
come of the bachelors who, as appears
from the above, have no rights that are
to be respected? A return to the den Of
freedom in the upper story of some pal
atial store and an investigation of the
cooperative system ofliving are gravely
considered by the man who has failed to
fud the dream of his single existence,
his Mecca, in the lodgings for single
gentlemen.

not had the effect anticipated of cooling

OsIRACIsM.

AMONG the narrow-minded an idea
has found a lodgdment that Southern
man who had been what is vaguely
termed an original secessionist, ought
not to represent his fellow-citizens in
legislative capacity. To follow this
weak logic out to its full development,
an ex-original secessionist ought not to
be on the bench; ought not to hold any
Office in the gift of the people; in fact
he should be ostracized or shelled
out" of political society. If any issue
more than another has received its quie-
tus forever, this doctrine of secession is
one; hence the original secessioHist be-
comes theorist, and may or may not
hug the phantom to his bosom without
doing serious injury to society. 1t is
the deaeest of things past, and is not
now recalled except by those who have
some interest in making the term one
of reproach to a political opponent. 1t
strikes US that every man who served in
the Confederate army was at the time
either an original or breveted secession
list; if not, he knew not what he was
fighting for. The difference between an
original secessionist aud one by brevet
is not very clear when the result sought
to be secured by each is taken into con-
sideration. These are dead issues, yes
buried ones-buried deep down beneath
the result Of war aud the genius Of

OUR puRLIC SCHOOLS.

The next meeting of the School Board
will be held on Monday evening, when
it is to be hoped that its deliberations
will be conducted with more dignity and
less acrimony than has been INDUCED
in heretofore. Thousands of our citi
zens feel a pride in the public schools
and regret exceedingly that their ser
wants. whom they have selected to at
tend to school matters, do not come up
to their expectations. Everything that
is introduced by one faction in the Board
is opposed by the other. as if something
of a suspicious nature would result i:
the measures were approved. The meet
ings of the Board have been, to say the
least of them, rather inharmonious, and
il would seem that nothing is but what
il not Members should recolleci
that personal matters are not schoo'
matters, and the regular meetings
of the Board are not the occasions
for their settlement, but for the
transaction OF legitimate business
Outside of the interest we feel in the
progress of education the affairs of the
Board concern us not, and so it is with
every intelligent citizen. The schools
are the things to be attended to, and
nothing but school business should
be considered by the conclave OF
wisdom and intelligence now represent
ing the people in the Board. We ART
aware that there are many gentlemen IN
the Board who do their whole duty, and
we regret TO say there are others who do
not. A full meeting Of the brethren Is
hardly ever enjoyed. Those gentlemen
who are so much engaged in business
that they are unable to attend to this
public trust should resign and let the
people send others in their places. The
feeling is rapidly becoming general that
the entire Board should resign and refer
the matter to the people; and this would
probably be the wisest course for the
members to pursue, if in their opinions
the meetings of the future will be similar
to those of the past. The only fatal
barrier to this view Of the case is that it
is historical fact that the elect seldom
die, and but few of them resign" The
motto of the Board should be, Our Com
mon Schools-their advancement our
aim; their prosperity our pride.

From Once a Week.

From Once a Week.
Mr.. John Morley has been lecturing
on the influence Of Rousseau. He sums
it up that ROusseau's teachings sowed
the seeds of the restlessness which is so
manifest throughout modern Europe.
The teaching itself was not in its funda-
mental ideas possessed of great creative
originality. Rousseau owed much to
Geneva, where be was born in the midst
Of public discontents and the discussion
Of the first principles Of politics and
theology. he owed much to Montague,
Plutarch, Hobbies and Locke. His origi-
nality lay in the temper and sentiment
which he introduced into social discus
sion, and which exactly suited the ripe
ness Of the times. His influence took
root in a new type of life, springing from
the old appeal away from the corruption
and frivolity Of artificial society TO sim
pie and pure individual life--dogma be-
ing abandoned for spiritual theism, and
pride OF intellect for health and Of feel
ing. They touched the entire circle OF
lite; and hence they inspired not only
the Jacohin, Robespierre, or the trans
occidental deist, George Sand, but
the Royalist, Chsteaubriand, and
the Christian, Lamenais. He cut
of the whole past Of the race, oblit-
Grating history from memory, and the
old social ordering from sight, and ip'
npdaiinE the study Of social truth with
metaphysical priori fgnents, such aS
