girls should be angular, or coarse or

learn that scores of pretty devices
exist, whereby all compression in any
quarter may be avoided, and the dress
still preserve its grace and neatness,
with an added charm Of jauntiness.
There are dainty little jackets and

Fashionable Suicide.
BY MAY WHITNEY,.

1t is computed by the best authori-
ties, that Of all the suicides which float
in our rivers and fill our morgues, and
make desolate once happy homes, a
proportion of at least two thirds are
women. This estimate does not in
clude the unnumbered multitude of
women who die yearly, the victims of
long continued attempts at self-mur-
der, over whose bodies the rites of
Christian burial are performed at
whose graves sorrowful friends bewail
the special dispensations which re-
moved them from earth in the flower
of youth and womanhood, no one
knowing their daisy -decked mounds
conceal the awful secret of suicide.
We see them everywhere, those
fading blossoms which the frosts of
death will blast, ere their fair lives
reach the day of golden fruitage. Or
if the frost delay IL little, vanquished
by the unquenchable summer in the
veins OF youth, and the fruit grows
fair and shapely toward maturity, the
hidden worm which gnaws ever at the
life-centre, triumphs at last, and it
falls shrivelled to the dust. How nu-
merOus they are, those blasted lives,
whose insiduous disease no skill can
discover, let the tear-swollen eyes,
and quivering lips, and sob-shaken
breasts all over the land reply.
81 can not imagine what ails my
daughter a father once said to me !;
"she was as strong !. child as one
could wish to see. She had no trans
mitted disease of any kind, and wife
and l gave her the most careful
training, physically (; yet, within a few
years, she has lost all her bounding,
beautifying health, and lies on her
bed most of the time, just wasting
away"
"What does her physician say 2"
He seems unable to help her. At
first, he called it general debility
then it was 'spinal affection then

Let a young man at twenty years
of age put twenty dollars at interest,
instead Of expending it for tobacco.
Then, at the beginning Of the next
year repeat it, and include also the
principal and interest of the preced-
ing year, and THUS continue to do from
year to year, until he shall have
reached the age Of seventy; then
the amount he would realize would
exceed thirty thousand dollars.

VI GHC ColvIcu pcopit.
Since writing the above report WI
have seen on board the steamboat til,
colored man Lev. Allen, who com
manded the party holding the Court
House. He assures us that not single
colored man was killed or wounded
until after their surrender. and thai
! then they were shot down without
mercy. We will obtain his sworl
statement hereafter.
On our return to Alexandria yester.
day we were again implored by citi.
zens to have troops sent there at once
as the only means Of averting q dis
tnrbance.
Very respectfully,
L. w. DEKLYNE,
Colonel, Assistant Adjutant G eneral.

Colonel, Assistant Inspector General.
INTERVIEW WITH MIR. NASH.
Shortly after our arrival at Colfax,
on the morning of the fifteenth, a
message was brought to me that Mr..
Y. Z. Nash desired to see me, and that
he would meet me out beyond the
town. | accordingly went out to see
him, and met him in the open field
about half mile above Colf.x. Sew
eral gentlemen belonging to the par
lshes OF Rapides and Grant were
present at the time.
On meeting Mr.. Nash l informed
him OF the purpose for which Colonel
Wright and myself had come there.
then told him that l had been told by
a colored man, named John Miles,
that on the morning of Sunday he
(Nash) had sent in flag of truce,
and that Miles had gone out to meet
it; that Nash said, eco tell Lev. AL
len to come out here ;" that Allen
came in company with Miles, and that
the following conversation took place ::
Nash-What do you depend upon
doing in there
Allen-We are doing nothing more
than we were before standing still,
as we've been standing.
Nasl-We want that Court House.
AlleneWe sent an answer to Mr..
Hadnot by Mr.. Calhoun. Didn't YOU
receive it?
Nash-I want you to understand
that Mr.. Hadnot does not command
this company.
Allen-We are going to stand where
we are until we get United States
troops or some assistance.
N;lsIl-Then go in there and say to
your people that 1 advise tlrem to get
out OF there. | give you thirty minutes
to remove your women and children.
l asked Mr.. Nash if this statement
was correct, and he replied that he
did not remember the reference to
Mr.. Hadnot, but,otherwise it was cor
rect.
Upon asking Mr.. Nash if he proposed
prosecuting any further hostilities, he
in effect that he did not,
and would use his influence to prevent
any violence by his followers.
/ asked Mr.. Nash if he was acting
us Sheriff by virtue of Il commission
from Governor Kellogg, to which he
that he had not received
his commission, but had seen a notice
Of his appointment to the position in
the New Orleans Republican.
During our conversation, Mr.. Nash
stated that after the colored men got
into the Courthouse they displayed
Il white flag, that Messrs. Hadnot and
Harris went to see what was wanted,
and on approaching the building We're
shot.
This is denied by colored men. Mr..
Hadnot was shot through the stomach
from side to side, and Mr.. Harris in
the back under both shoulders. .

Training in Civility.

In view Of the expected deluge it
may be hardly worth while to trouble
ourselves about the coming race; yet,
if our children are to be taught any
thing, or to have any training, whether
for life in the bush or share in the
universal republic, they must be in
structed in civility, which is only
another name for decent and comfor-
table intercourse with ones fellows,
whoever they may be. The growing
emancipation OF young people from
Old-tashioned forms Of respect would
seem to be making them SO unen-
durable i'll society that they are more
and more exiled from it. What does
it profit that they possess all knowl-
edge if they do not behave ''accorl-
ing to their age and condition.
Affection is damped for the learned
little roughs. who would have been
delightfulif only they hadbeen trained
in habits or respect by attention to
it's outward and visible signs. mature
is" not altogether "a holy thing"
whatever Squeers and Rousseau may
assert; she has to be reformed from
the cradle, and infant-school teachers
can witness how important the con-
duct Of the body is in training chill
dren. We see how charming it is in
a Russian child to kiss his parents
hands, to remain standing until bid
den to sit, and listen until asked to
speak. The disciple Of those Tartars
and Cossacks is the same in which
our Philip Sidneys and Jane Greys
were trained, which gave models to
Vandyke, and kept green the family
affection that was once our boast;
and we hardly do we'll to neglect it.
We certainly provide sufficient dis
comfort for ourselves during those
few minutes in which our Berties and
our Hildas, admitted to the drawing
room, endure the miseries Of shyness
or inflict the miseries of rudeness;
both of which would have been avoid
ed if habitual good manners had put
every body in his right groove. The
humors Of the rising generation are
almost past Il joke. We shall soon
painfully under:rs.nd why our ances-
tors sent their sons to learn behavior
as pages in other households, and the
Gaelic laws OF fosterage applicable to
