Grown-up Dolls

What is the doll wife but q toy to
her husband? an expensive one, too
at times, and surely never satisfac-
tory! He buys her as a thing to
play with, to amuse himself by dress
ing in dainty attire, to take pleasure
in hanging about With chains and
necklaces, in showing off to his
friends as his latest acquisition-his
live doll, his pretty puppet that laughs
and talks and dances and coquettes
just as well as if she had a reasona-
bic amount of brains beneath her
chignon; a thing he calls by his own
name, and labels wife, but who is
only his plaything and his toy, when
all is done. He gives her no conf
dencc, makes her no companion: he
would as soon think of telling his
griefs to his favorite setter as of tell
ing them to her, and Jocko in the sta
bic yondcr has as much share in his
deeper thoughts as she. But she is
his wife; and names are respectable.
And what she is to her husband. so is
her baby to her Many a woman
knows no more of the value of ma
ternity than is TO be found in the SIM
pie amusement which a baby affords.
1t is her doll-a thing for which to
devise pretty frocks and hoods and
cloaks,. and horribly inconvenience
the poor little thing in the wearing
thereof; a thing to dandle and kiss
and delight to make crow and kick, to
look with admiration at its dimpled
little feet, to wonder at the aimless
foolishness of its eternally clutching
hands, to talk nonsense to and make
laugh. But when it cries, when it is
i'll, when it is naughty, it is a nui-
sance. Then the toy, though not
broken, will not be cherished; though
baby will not be ill-treated-some-
times, however, if the doll mother is
of petuIant nature, the doll baby
will get a slap or a shake by the way
of philosophical reminder of vir-
tuOus behavior-yet it will be sent
up stairs TO nurse, to be produced
again only when it is in better play
ing condition, and not troublesome or
annoying. All this is very nice, no
doubt; and one likes to look, as on
picture, at the pretty little mother
with her pretty little baby-the Dora
woman of sweet nature and no kind
of sense; two babies together of diff
ferent stages of development, but
both babies; but when it comes to
the grave realities of life, then our
doll is Of no avail, and the wisdom of
making mothers of such life-giving
children TO be trained and educated
by childrcn-is one that is open to
serious question Still, while men
like live dolls in the place of women,
the supply will be kept up; and,
while girls are not able to unite the
sweetness and playfulness of the
child to the sense and wisdom Of
the woman, there will still be this
wide division between dolls and
dOwdies, babies and grim females,
"sillies" and strong-minded women,
as il exists now. ,

BEARDED WHEAT STRAW DAN

BEARDED WHEAT STRAW DAN.
GERoUs TO SToCK-A Prairie Far.
n,er correspondent writes: 1t has
been discovered that when stock has
had free access TO beared wheat
straw, that the boards have worked
around the lip and gums, causing
swelling, liberation and loosening of
the teeth. A neighbor tells me that
he discovered in the forepart of the
winter his sheep were not doing
well, and upon examination found
their mouths so much injured from
this cause that he has been unable to
bring them up to good condition
since. Another neighbor lost a val
liable colt from the same cause.
4 farrier was called, in this in
stance, as soon as any difficulty was
discovered, but too late. He said he
had the appearance of being choked,
but the owner insisted that the colt
had nothing but straw, water and
shelled corn, and he did not consider
choking possible. Upon opening the
colt after death it was found that
boards had collected, forming quite a
massive ball, near the entrance to the
body, and boards had worked off into
the throat pipe, causing Inflammation
and liberation to such an extent as to
cause death. Upon comparing notes
we are satisfied that this has been a
source of much damage to stock
heretofore unaccountable. Reference
is made to several cases where stock
has died or been damaged, and which
now seems plainly to have been caus-
ed by wheat boards.

Feast DAYS fu Peru.

Not less than 100000 people in
Peru, it is estimated, observe as many
as fifty feast days annually. Fifty
times 500, 900 are 25,000,000 This,
then, is the number of days actually
subtractcd from the labor value of the
country in one year in this way II
each one of these days represents but
the value ofa single real in labor, the
loss in the aggregate for one year
alone to the material wealth of the
country amounts to the large sum OF
100000 soles! But when we con.
slider that the above computation tells
but half the story-that probably
more than three times that number OF
days are wasted upon unnecessary
and oftentimes unmeaning feast DAYS
the truth becomes imposing. Enough
of time is yearly expended in feast
days in Peru to build first-class rail.

How r,uc.y Cir, saved Herself.

The most infamous attempt to force
into the ranks of vice an honest young
girl came to our notice yesterday, says
a Burlington, Iowa, paper. The we
tim of the outrage was in town en-
dcavoring to make her way back TO
her friends.
From her story, which is a straight
forward one, it appears that she left
her home in Peoria, ILL.,, last Satur-
dav morning, intending TO go to Chi
cago, to obtain work At the depot
in Peoria she was accosted by an ell
derly woman, and asked whittier she
was travelling. On her reply the
stranger expressed great satisfaction,
stating that she was also on her way
to Chicago, but was Obliged to go to
Burlington first, to visit her husband,
and suggested that the girl should
accompany her here This she refus-
ed TO do. But, afterward, on the rep
resentatiOn that her fare to Chicago
would not be greater, and that she
would have two hours time at Burling-
ton. and still catch the right train at
Chicago, she agreed to go. She went
back to her home for her satchel;
and on her return TO the depot, found
that her newly formed friend had
checked her trunk and bought her a
ticket to Burlington; she asked for the
check, and proposed to pay for her
ticket: but the generous old lady said
the check was with lots of her other
things in her bag, and the ticket could
be paid for after they reached Burl-
ington. When the train stopped at
the switch telegraph Office, in East
Burlington, Iowa, they left the cars,
the girl being told she was in Burl-
ington. She was conducted to the
"gun boat" which lies under the shell
tering edge of the Illinois shore. The
Saturday night orgies which were
going on convinced her, in a moment,
of the character of the place she
was then in, and she made an i'm
tublA " tSidIlt- lll',
however, she was prevented from do
ing by force Both spunk and en-
treaty were of no avail. At twelve
the company broke up, and the girl
was forced into one of the rooms of
the house and locked in. She was
shortly followed by a man, who lock-
en- the door and pocketed the key
Being very drunk, he sat down and
fell asleep, when she took the key
from his pocket, released herself from
the room, and the household having
retired, she managed to escape from
the boat. All night she wandered in
the woods. At daylight she found
her way to the bridge and told her
story to one of the watchmen, who
took her to his own house in Burling-
ton. His family cared for her until
yesterday, when she made an attempt
to regain her home. Her story gain
ed the sympathy of the railroad ofiic-
ials, and she left last night for Peoria.

An Inside View OF Cincinnati.

Judge Mackey, of South Carolina,
a noted Unionist, whose eloquence is
equal to his personal courage, tells
the following good story of how one
of Il. GratZ Browns agents was re-
ceived by Governor Orr, of Colum-
bia, South Carolina:
Brown, who at present is the tail
of the Liberal ticket, was ambitious
to be its head. Donan, of the Lex
ington Caucasian, had nailed Brown
to his masthead as candidate for Pres
ident 1t fred the ambition of Brown,
and being an old wire-puller, he set
to work to pack the Cincinnati con-
vention with delegates of the Brown
stripe. One of his secret agents,
Captain Celous Price, dropped his
carpet-bag in Columbia, and after re-
freshing himself with straight Dem
ocratic horn, he sought out Governor
Orr, as being just the man he want
ed to work up the delegation he was
after. He met the Governor, made
known his mission, and received an
answer which caused him to suspect
that he had walked the wrong Gus
toner, said the Governor as he fixed
his keen eve on Browns young man:
"Sir, / cannot join you in this move
ment, 1 am a Republican, and as
such believe that the Republican
party will and ought to continue to
govern the country through all time.
But l have great respect for the mem
ory of your father General Sterling

fail in your mission. Although /
cannot aid you, | will take you to the
hotel and introduce you to some
friends of mine who will be id
fools enough to join in the movement
for Gratz Brown. have known
them for thirty years and have known
them always to be on the wrong side.n "
The introduction was given; the id
fools were obtained, but Brown fail
ed in his effort to get the first seat.
Honest old Greeley had the inside
track, and by way of compromise,
Gratz was allowed the second choice.

Depletion Of Sells.

After the careful study of the sub
icct the writer estimated the loss of
fertility in one hundred million acres
of land in the United States in conse-
quence of defective husbandrv and
improper tillage, as equal to an aver
age loss of ten dollars per acre-be-
ing an aggregate of one thousand
million dollars. This was in a report
made TO Congress in lS49, from the
Agricultural Department.
Since that time the undersigned
has investigated the turned out old
fields and agricultural of the South
ern States patiently; if not thorough
ly. over twenty Years, and he feels
confident that there are two hundred
millions acres (about half in old fields
and half under fence) in the Union,
which are depleted to the extent at
least of ten dollars injury to the acre,
ON fair average. In other words,
our landed estate is really poorer
than nature made it by two thousand
million dollars. If we cease to do
this evil in the future, and learn to
do well, this damage NAV soon be re-
paired but if We continue to follow
the bad example of Persia from the
davs Of her greatest agricultural de-
velopment when she fed and clothed

beside feeding and clothing all the
working farmers and mechanics at

did the Incas of Peru decree that

Vaughn, Stafford linen draper, be-
longs the melancholy celebrity OF
having led the van in this new phase
Of crime, in the year 1853. The re,

beggary or starvation urging him, but
simple desire to seem greater than
he was. BY one of the artists en-

the discovery was made. The crim-
inal had filled up to the number OF
twenty and deposited them in the
hands of young lady to whom he
was attached, as proof of his wealth.
There is no calculating how much
longer bank notes might have been
free from imitation had this man not
shown with what Ease they might be
