"BARBARLANs. Some parts Of the United
Kingdom seem as harbarous. the London Pail
FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH :.

'.BARBARLANs Some parts OF the United
Kingdom seem as barbarous, the London Fall
Mall Gazette says, in their domestic arrange
ments as the London metropolis OF England.
The nevis appointed Inspector OF Nulsances
for the rural district of Aberystwith has, says
the Cambrian News, made two reports which
reveal an almost incouceivable state of degra-
dation among the people. A large number OF
the houses are altogether unfit for habitatlon1,
and these novels are terribly overcrowded,
adults Of both sexes being herded promlscuous-
~ together In one case sixteen men sleep IN
eight beds in two small rooms, and in another
instance four men occupy the beds during the
night and four during the dsy-the day occu-
pants frequently having to wait until the night
men get up In one place family live IN
hut, which is also used as slaughter-house,
skin room and butchers shop, and in another
woman, her grown-up daughter, COW,
hcfer and nine fowls occupied Que room, which
has no fire place, no window, and no light or
ventilation beyond that provided by the door.
The Gazette considers it to be matter for re-
greet that models Of these delightful habltations
for the laboring classes cannot be laid on the
table of the House for the inspection OF mcm-
bcrs.
THE Fashions. From the N. Y. Herald.
-lhe multitude OF names bestowed upon Tue
styles which will prevail during the coming sea-
son would lead one to suppose that opening
day will usher in a host OF novelties; but the
fact is that these names are applied to old
tavolitcs, whose shades and effect cannot be
mistaken Ia connection with the present
weather, when the thermometer has down
ward tendency, it is interesting to watch the
gradual rise Of the couture, until each partlcu-
lar hair is brought to the top OF the heud.
When ali the hair is thus brought to an apex
the question naturally arises, W here on earth
will the bonnet rest? It's former location-rest-
ing on the nose-was found to be undesirable,
as it INSTRUCTED the view and gave sort OF
Nose expression to the face. 1t has now
changed its position to the back OF the head,
assuming sailor on-shore look while the hair,
combed down on the forehead, suggests the
idea OF Skye terrier. 1t would be preferable
to go back to the monstrous headdrcsses of the
last century than to retain such style as the
one now in vogue But it is to be expected
that such things will right themselves, and
that the bonnet will at last find an appropriate
resting place.

Debate on the Ordinance
of Baptism.

Our citizens have lately been
highly edited as we'll as iIlstruc-
ted in the debate between the
Rev. Z. r. Brents of the Chris
tian, and Rev. ID. Ii. Ditzler of
the Methodist Church, on the
holy ordinance of Baptism, both
of whom handle the subject
with great amount Of sound
logic, deep research and pro-
found learning, and are as able
debaters as can be found in any
State. We are not yet able to
decide which is the proper mode
of baptism, but OF two things
we are confident, to-wit: That
we are still selling boots, shoes,
hats, cassimeres, jeans, linseys,
and all kinds Of ladies' dress
goods at panic prices, and that
the calico which we sell at 10
cents per yard will not fade by
either immersion or sprink2jag.

Railroad Meeting.
From the Pulaski Citizen.


AN informal r. r. meeting
was held at tie Court House on
Friday night last, in the inter
est Of the Memphis Il Knoxville
Air Line. Judge Thomas NJ.
Jones was called to the chair,
and Z. w. Ewing, Esq, appoin-
ted Secretary. DIR. D. G. Cor
don moved the appointment of
DIR. j. f. Grant, Jno. G. Lester,
Esq. and w. H. McCallum,
Esq, a committee to collect
subscriptions tor the prelimina-
.ry survey of the road through
Giles county. DR. Grant amen
ded by suggesting the names of
Capt. r A. Mitchell and Mr.. j
B. Childers as members Of the
committee, when the motion as
amended, was carried. Maj.
Sykes being present, made some
valuable suggestions, as he is SO
capable Of doing, in regard to
collecting the sum required i'll
the survey, and the easy manner
in which the road may be
brought to Pulaski. He said
that the Company had been in
duced to put mp with $4,000
from Giles and Lawrence, in
bonds which if sold-this be-
ing the most serious trouble
will be spent in this and Law
renee county III the time Of
a money famine, and this before
cent Of interest is 10 lie paid
on the bonds. j. c. Lester,
ESQ., volunteered for himself
and DR.. Keeling to ride over
the eastern end Of the county,
and solicit subscription Of pro-
Wis ons for the Engineercorps.-
Capt. Topp was suggested as a
suitable man to Canvass the
West end Of the county for the
same purpose. a paper guar
anteeing the sum required to
complete the survey was numer-
ousIy signed, and the meeting
adjourned.
The guarantee of Maj. Sykes
that the Company will build and
equip the road from Pulaski to
Lawrcnceburg before the close
of the next year if the two
counties will issue their bonds
Of $4,000, ought to stimulate
us to action in this matter.

OAK HnL, Nov. 10, 1875
Mr., ". o. WclIacc, editor of
The Fayetteville ObSeruer-SIR
You have doubtless ele now
heard ofmy wife's misfortune in
getting her arm broken by a
fall from her horse on the eve
Of the 9Th inst
As .his az we'll as nearly all
other similar affairs has been
mis- construed, I deem it my
dufy TO give you a correct ac-
G Junt and thus clear innocent
parties that have been accused
by some. l will give you my
wite's statement:
She had been riding very slow
down the pike and watching a
base ball" match which was
being played about one hundred
yards from the pike and near
DR.. Milhous', until she came to
the creek crossing thcpike where
there was a gentleman standing
on the foot-log, who turned a.
round very suddenly when the
horse gave a very quick jump
and threw her backwards and
on her right arm, breaking it
just above the wrist, one bone
pressing entirely through the
flesh. DIR. Griswell was sent
,or Immediately when the aim
was soon placed and bandaged
and hope will soon be all right
again. l write you this to clear
up the general supposition that
it was the ball players that was
to blame. I believe that any
one knowing the distance the
players were from the pike
would know that a horse would
not so suddenly jump, would
have given notice Of his fright
when he first came in sight and
noticed them. So you see it
was not the ball players as ru-
NOR has it, but entirely another
cause. Respectfully, &c,
CHRISTIAN CARRIGER.

Tae New Era in Politics.

Tie magazines, with perhaps
sn unconscious presciencc OF
the spirit Of the times, are full
of articles treating historically
Of the political changes which
even in the short period Of our
national existence, have been
passed through, The most sug-
gestive portion Of these studies
lies in the evidence they afford
how completely the interest has
passed in political questions and
Political crises, which formerly
wsre thought to be OF entrac-
Ing interest.
Men are still living, and are
not veIy cid, who can remem-
Der when the question Of inter-
ncli:aprovements meant afford
Ing government aid, or refusing
government aid to the Cumber-
land turnpike. To-day, how
ever, it is probably not an ex-
aggcration TO say that in al
likelihood a majority of the &C.
tual voters Of the country could
not readily tell what was Il e
Cumberland turnpike, nor what
II was expected to perform. The
simple comparison Of the pro-
petitions which questions Ike
this Of internal Improvement
Lave reached, between that time
and this, thoughthey are divided
hardly oy the space Of a single
generation, shows how much
more intense is the activity of
our national life.
IR the atlantic for October, is
al article upon the movement
Throughout the West, the Fam
cr's movement, or the Grant c,
which the writer is confdcl t
will come to nothing" "Its
action he says, ''nay lead to &
great deal Of anarchy and cor
fusion, may injure the bushes S
oil some roads and build Up
that Of others, but it can not
make the production of wheat
profitable, nor is it likely to at
tract very deep interest i'll that
part Of the community which,
being at a distance from the
scene Of action, looks On i'm
partially"
The Significance Of this move
mcnt as 4 protest Of the work
iag man, is evidently lost ell
tirely upon this writer. He is
evidently unaware that the in
dustry Of the world is rising to
"a comprehension Of the unset
eniific character of the system
which has heretofore distribu-
ted the wealth it creates; and
tbat as labor is universal the
Rev era Of politics is neither one
O. mere party questions, nor
does II expect TO attain its enCs
~ the Il. ual party tactics. Its
objects and lis methods are as
new as the railroad itself was
compared with those Of the
turnpike.
