AQUEER CONCLUS5ON.
ARE MEN AND WOMEN FOND OF
EACH OTHER.

The Pail Mall Gazette is cXer-
ciscd over the question whether
''men are more interesting to men
than women are, and whether
women find more in women to
interest them than they do in
men" The Gazette comes TO the
unwelcome conclusion that the
pretended fondness Of the two
sexes for one another is the great
fundamental hypocrisy Of the
race. 1t would be unfair to dwell
LOO much on the circumstance
that they make one another un-
comfortable in i way that men
never make men, nor women
women, taking that fact BY itself
This might be mere result of
their being different. But q re-
view Of the whole case tends 10
establish a general incompati-
bility between the two. Things
will have to alter very much if
men and women are to get along
well together. The pretence that
they are dying Of sheer liking
for one another is not only not
proved, it is disproved. Not mere.
ly is that kind Of mortality whol.
ly absent from the returns, but af-
ter all these centuries the two
sexes greatly keep aIoof from one
another.
When you can get glimpse Of
their true tendencies, it comes out
clearly enough that men and wom-
en- are domestic creatures under
compulsion. All kinds of social
contrivances have been tried, the
real purpose Of which, no matter
how it may be disguised, is to scpa-
rate the sexes, and SO secure for
each the pleasure Of being only in
it's own society. There is no sacri-
fee men will not make to get this
luxury. They will support the
costliest clubs. They will smoke,
they will pretend any sort Of re-
creation from cards down to bill
liards, sooner than not to apart
from women g portion Of their
time. The like thing holds of
the ladies in the same way. The
inability of men to stay at home
allows their wives to assemble mu-
tual clubs in their own drawing
rooms, and they do do So. For
one club the men5ave, the wom-
en- have hundreds-just as many
as there are houses.
The truth is, the taste Of the
sexes radically differ. At home
feminine likings prevails, and
there is no man who is not more
or less aware that the minor ar.
rangements and wonderful and to
him superdous fljgre.like orna.

KISS AT THE DOOR.

We we're standing in the Doorway
q Ny little wife and l.
The golden sun upon her hsir
Fell down so silently;
4 small hite hand upon my arm,
What could l ask for more,
Than the kindly glances Of loving eyes,
AS she kissed me at the door?
know she loves with all her heart
The one who stands beside,
And the years have been so Joyous,
Since FIRST called her bride!
We've had so much Of happiness
Since We met in yesrs before;
But the happiest of all was
When she kissed me at the door!
VINO cares for wealth-of land or gold,
OF fame, Or matchless power?
1t does not give the happiness
Of Just one little hour,
With one who loves ME as her life
She SAYS she loves me more
sd thought she did, this morning,
RNYhen she kissed me at the door.
: W
\ g: times, it seems, that ali the world
sE With all its wealth Of gold,
very small and poor indeed,
Compared with what hold;
7 And when the clouds hang grim and dark
only think the more
Of one who waits the couing step,
To kiss me at the door.
If she lives till age shall scatter
The frost upon her head,
Iknow she'll love me just the same
Asthe morning we were wed;
But if the angels call her,
And she goes to Heaven before,
shall know her when I meet her
For sLe'il kiss me al the door!

he had two minutes before sent
down With paracbute,-that was

means of acquiring one.
But live he must, and SO be
applied himself to the art of
legerdemain and to talking in his
stomach; in fact he became a
yentriloquiss, as they say. He was
young, good-looking, and when
he goL a moustache and had his
best clothes on, he conld be taken
for a nobieman's. son. The ladies
seemed to think well of him; one
young lady even was so taken
with bis charms and his great
dexterity that she went off with
him to foreign parts. There be
called himself Professor-he could
scarcely do less.
His constant thought was how
to get himself 4 balloon and go up
into the air with his little wife,
but as yet they had no means.

"If only they would" said she.
"We are young folks" said he,
"and now | am Professor" She
helped him faithfully, sat at the
door and sold tickets to the ex-
hibi:ion, and it was a chilly sort
of pleasure in winter time. She
also helped him in the line Of bis
art. He put his wife in table
drawer, q large drawer; then
she crawled into the back part OF
the drawer, and 30 was not in the
front part-quite an optical H.
lusion to the audience. But one
evening when he drew the drawer

him: she was not in the front
drawer, not in the back one either.

6umor, could not laugh or make
iokes;-and so the people stopped
coming, his earnings became scan;

finally he only owned a great lea;
which his wife had left him, and
50 he thought highly Of it. And
be.dressed the flea and taught it

fire q cannon off-but it was q

The bill of Senator Hitchcock. OF Ne.
braska, which passed the Senate at the
last session and is now pending in the
Hoase, provides that any person who
shall plant, aud keep in u healthy
growing condition for ten years. forty
acres of timber on any. quarter section
OF public lands, shall receive a patent !:
but only one quarter in any section
shall be thus granted. Any person
having q homestead on the public do
main. who. at the end OF the third year
of his residence thereon, shall have had
under cultivation for two wears. one
acre in sixteen of his claim, shall re-
ceive his patent. In each case the trees
are to be not more than twelve feet
apart each way, and the fact of planting
and taking care Of them il to be prov
ed by two witnesses before the local
land officers. The Commissioner OF
the General Land Office, is TO prepare
the proper regulations, Sc. Ii will be
seen that the bill is very liberal TO the
homestead people. They are only re-
quired 10 plant little over u per cent.
OF the land in trees, and get title In
three years. As the trees NAV be
twelve feet apart, corn and other crops
may be grown between the rows Till
they are large enough to require all the
ground. The bill Is NOT so liberal to
nonresident planters, or those not
having homesteads. They are to plant
forty acres, and must wait ten years
for title to quarter section. AS it
reqnires considerable capital to plant
forty acres OF timber, II is not likely
that much will be done under this
provision of the bill. The public land
on which this proposed planting is to
be done, is on the frontiers and in the
newest Statesrand Territories, where
II may be cheaper to enter the land at
the usual price than to plant ~ acres
in trees and take care OF them ten
years. - No. Dem.

immigration of foreigners into the
United States for the transit Of the

The Justices arc appointed for life
or during good behavior; but Con-
fgress has recently made a provision
for the retirement ofthose of ofadvanced
age, with q continuation Of salary.
Judge Nelson is the first to avail him
self of the advantages Of this law.
It will be observed that the com mis-
sions of the justices are OF compara-
lively recent date. All Of them, one
excepted, have been appointed since
the Republican party came into power.
The exception is the Hon. Nathan
Clifford. of Maine, who was appointed
by Buchanan only two years before
the election of Mr.. Lincoln. Judge
Clifford is also the Oldest member OF
the court. He Is approaching the ripe
old age Of three score and ten, and II
may be expected that he, too, will soon
ask. to be permitted to retire to private
life. Chief Justice Chase, in point of
age, stands second on the list, and his
impaired health and feeble constitution
really make him appear much older
than he is. Judges Strong, Hunt and
Swayne are about of an equal age,
while the remaining four range be-
.WeeH u anu 90 years, Judge fielu, OF
california, being the youngest.
In politics all were appointed as Re-
publicans or Union democrats, except
Judge Clifford. Judges Chase and Da-
Wis, who were original Republicans,
have of late years cast their influence
with the opposition, and each has been
jealous aspirant for the presidency.
Judge Field, who was an original
democrat, but pronounced Union
man, was appointed by President Lin
coin in consequence Of his ardent sup
port of the war and the administra-
ton. But in 1866 he Johnsonized, and
has since been regarded as q conserya.
tive. All Of the others, we believe.

In the whole history OF criminal ju-
risprudence, there has never probably
been anything. equal to the gigantic
trial which was concluded at Moscow.
in Russia, on the 2lst of November,
and in which were arraigned 500 pris-
oners, upwards of 200 Of whom were
convicted and sentenced to cruel pen
alties. Among the accnsed, were per-
sons ofcvery station in life-gray hair
ed men and youth, men and women
among the latter, some highly, accom-
plished and prepossesing in appearance.
All of the prisoners were charged with
one Of the gravest offenses in the Grim
code of Russia-that of counterfeiting.
That code says: .The person that
counterfeits the coin or currency OF
the imperial Government, shall suffer
DEATH" Notwithstanding this rigor-.
GUS provision, Russia has been flooded
for many years past, with well execut-
ed couRtcrfeits OF the government
treasury notes. The prompt execution
of several who were caught passing
the spurious currency, did not check
the evil, and for the past three years
II became so great that the Minister of
IL
of the largest rewards did not lead to
the detection of the guilty parties.
Changes in the appearance Of the treas
ury notes did not do much good eth.
er, for SO vast is the extent of the Rus
sian Empire, that it takes the imperial
Government six months to communi-
cate it's DEGREES to the remotest parts
OF the country. ~ saS
Atlength, in last July, an accident
occurred which gave the government
the long looked for clue, which led to
the discovery of an association of both
sexes, banded together for the purpose
Of circulating the spurious currency,
and which extended from the bleak
and frozen shores Of the White sea to
the Volga and Black sea. In the course
Of the two following months, 5000 men
and women were arrested, but after a
preliminary examination, $500 ofthem
were released, and about 500 Of them
were held for trial. Among the latter,
were six Frenchmen of st. Petersburg,
who had been caught printing the epu-
rious notes, and q comparatively large
number Of women. The prisoners
were all conveyed to Moscow. where
they were confined in. the vast vaults
underneath the Krcmlin palace Grim
inal law in Russia Is barbarOns at best,
and the male prisoners were hcrded
together like so many hogs. They re-
