ARBITRATIoN.--We see how effectu-
ally difficulties can be settled by re-
ferring them to disinterested par
ties, the Alabama Claims ques-
ton, for instance-THAT shows what
CAN be accomplished when beliger-
emit parties are willing thus to refer
disputed points. Thinking of the
successful result at pacifcation in
this instance, our mind naturally
took in the hostile attitude of our
neighbors of the Telegram and
Times towards each other at this
present Writing. The thunder
clouds Of ''war to the Pen and the
PEN to the hill" slightly amend
ing the quotation, )-seelns to be
lowering DER these two formidable
paper forces-the weapons of edi
torial warfare; in the shape of iave-
lens with their points dipped in
poisonous preparation called by Bo-
hemians ''eil detagitimnu," are al
ready flying, and to stop the dread
full work of humiliation, we suggest
that q Board of Arbitration be at
once organized, by leaving the all
absorbing question that has unfor-
tunately arisen to the SURFACE,
whether the SAVIOR has been lost to
the SALr-ER not! to be decided by
Strickland of the Centreville Chron-
icle, and Hardin of the Cambridge
Tribune. Try it, gentlemen, and

Mr.. Ames' ssMemOry" Asa Public
Guide.

Whatever may be thought of
other owners Of Credit Mobilier
stock we think there will be no
disagreement about the character
Of Mr.. Ames. He has told dozen
stories about the case, each one
differing from the other, and each
protesting to be the whole truth.
1t looks as if he had endeavored to
shield himself as long as possible,
and when this was found impracti-
cable, had gone to work with de-
termination to drag every man with
whom he had business relations
down to his level q He has re-
Eeatedly stated that the testimony
of Mr.. Dawes Colfax, Wilson, and
Allison before the committee was
substantially correct; but he now
comes out and contradicts the
whole Of them. According to his
statement Allison received $500.
Dawes 5000, Wilson $1,000
Though he might have returned
it J, and Colfax $1,000, as divi-
dends in the Credit Mobilier The
evidence of Ames undoubtedly
surprised Mr.. Coltax as much as
everybody else. The former stated
that he held a large amount OF
bond certificates and stock for the
latter, and upon hearing this Mr..
Colfax very naturally questioned
him about it Said he:
.'Durant says there WAS also a
bond dividend Now what have you
done with the bonds belonging to
me-"
Ames-1'They were not bonds,
but bond certificates. | hold them
with your stock for you. You are
entitled to them
Mr.. Colfax-"Have you ever
offered them to mef"
Mr.. Ames-.sNo.a sir. am
awaiting the result of this suit
Now is it not strange that Ames
should have stocks and bonds to a
large amountfin his hands belong.
ing to Mr.. Colfaxs and vet never
mention the fact, especially if the
latter gentleman was aware Of it?
Ames also asserts that he paid S1,-
200 to Colfax as dividends. The
latter denies it. Ames first asserted
| tina. he pad the money in q check
drawn to tho order of Schuyler
Colfax. Afterward he corrected
himself by saying that it was
drawn TO IS. c.. or bearer" This
check was found in the Office of
the Sergeant at-Arme. Now, who
got the money? No such sum is
found in the account of Mr. Colfax
in the Office of the aSergeant-at-
Arms, and the account OF Mr..
Ames there has not yet been ex
amined; but if this amount should
be discovered in his account the
evidence would fix. the money
whore suspicion already puts it,
in the hands of Ames himself. As
the latter says. q check drawn to
IS. c. or bearer" required no in
dorsement, and any one corll draw
the money, Mr.. Ames as well as
an, body else. There. will he little
trouble in deciding when the cues
ton hinges on the yeracity OF the
two men. Aside from the fact that
reason and com mon sense are on
the sideoe Mr.. Colfax,q his tesli-
mony is worth hundred Of Ames',
and will SO be regarded by the
public. 8

nTHE COMING GIRL. .

>0A~ S>D>sAAAV\s Nf44N11.
Mrs. Cady Stations view Of the
coming woman is most sensible
one. In the first place she is to be
healthy, which is vastly to be- de-
sired; second, she is to be wealthy.
and, better than all, she is to be wise.
As the whole problem of education,
work and wages depends upon the
condition, strength and endurance,
the physical condition of our com
ing girl is the first great considera-
ton. Some one said once, Napo-
leon I think, You can not make a
soldier of sick man" Neither
can you make happy wives and
mothers out Of puny, wasp wasted
girls. Above all things, girls, let
me say to you, cultivate your waists.
Get o copy of the ':Benus de Me
dicis and dress up to that model.
A Psychologist need but look at the
forms OF young girls to see the VIC
lence done nature in the constrained
gait, the lack Of plumptitude and
want of natural roses, in nearly all
we meet. As to being wealthy, what
is more pitiable than the situation
OF o young girl thrown upon the
world helpless, without money, skill
or place in the world of work.,
There is for her but two paths from
which to chOose--marriage, in which
she may sell herself for a home, or
degradation, from which there is
no redemption. In short, girls are
to be educated SO as to be compan-
ions to their husbands in knowl-
edge of science and philosophy
Thus our whole social life would be
refined, purified and elevated. Such
marriages of equals would secure
more blissfl and lasting relations
than we can boast of to-day.
