MEANNEss.-Economy is an excellent thing
That is, it is very comfortable to be able to say
to ones SELF II will do without this, that or the
other luxury, rather than be beggar in my
old age" or even find it possible to live with
out what is usually deemed a necessity, rather
than run in debt. But exaggerated economy or
rather meanness, is something too which is often
found in people who are too selfish to forbid
themselves anything they desire. They covet
rich food and fine dress, ease and idleness, but
they begrudge to those who minister to their
wants their we'll earned price, and always for
get nt kc.lahnrer is p'~rthy of his hire I"
from lips OF such people yuG i.va ar-siivsl.- IN
ing but complaints. Every one is overreach
ing them. The dressmaker has sent in a fright
full bill the cook has no right TO such wages !;
the abomnable landlord thinks no rent is too
much for his house; it is impossible to have
anything done without being cheated. In fine,
they want all that people have to sell, and have
within their souls miserable desire to have it
for nothing. Always accusing other people Of
their own vice, they salve their conscience, and
when they do get something for nothing, fancy
themselves happy. They can never know the
pleasant warmth that fills the hear! when a
generous action has been done at its prompting.
Never can they feel the pleasant independence
that follows liberal and upgrudging payment
Life is a constant battle to them and many a
spendthrift is happier than those who forget
that they have no right to economic at the ex-
pense of other people, and whoever Willingly
takes the money of another to add to his own
purse is at least at heart, thief.
WoMAN's RIGHrs.-The following the
opening sentences of an address on this subject
by Mrs. Skinner:
Miss President, feller wimmin, and male
trash generally: am here to day for the pur
pose of discussing woman's rights, recussing
her wrongs and cussing the men.
l believe sexes were created perfectly equa 4,
with the women little moro equal than the
men,.
l also believe that the world would to day be
happier if man had never existed.
As success man is a failure, and bless M
stars that my mother was woman. [Applause ]
Inot only maintain their principles butmain-
tain a shiftless husband besides.
They say man was created first. Well, ,'spose
hewas. Amt first experiments always failures ?
If l was betting man, would bet 50 so they
are.
The only decent thing about him was rib,
and that went to make something better. Jap
plause.]
And then they throw into our face about tax
ing an apple. I'll bet five dollars that Adam
boosted her up the tree and only gave her the
core.
And what did he do when he was found out
True to his masculine instincts, he snca ked be-
hind Ewes Grecian bend, and said "'Twan't
me; twas her;" and woman has had To father
everything and mother it too.
What we want is the ballot, and the ballot
we're bound to have, if we have 10 let down our
back hair and swim in q sea of gore. [Sensa-

A HAIRLESS HoRsE.-An equine curiosity ar
rived recently at San Francisco, in the shape
of a hairless horse, from Australia. The name
of this remarkable horse is Caoutchouc, and
was captured in the neighborhood Of the Bal
loon river, Queensland, when about two years
old. lie is now about six years OF age, of a
pure black from the tip of his ears to she hoofs,
but without single hair on any part of his
body. The color is not unlike that Of black
horse very closely clipped, and the microscope
fails to detect single hair from nose to tail
He is gelding, about Is hands high, we'll made
and very compact, with fine, clean legs, pow
erful forearms and thighs, and clean bloodlike
but unusally broad head, from which sparkle a
bright pair of eyes beaming with god temper
and docility. His owners, Oat Wtehell. paid
handsome price for him, but refused 81 500 in
the colonies before leaving for this country
This freak of nature was examined by several
eminent veterinary surgeons in Australia, and
they came to but one opinion in regard to this
| horse-which was that there was no deception
practiced, and that in reality he was born with
out the least particle of hair upon him, and
consequently is one of the greatest curiosities
| in the way of horse-hesh extant.
"HE."-Hghlanders have their habit, when
talking their English, such it is, Of interject-
ing the personal pronoun "he" where not re-
| qured-as the "King he has come,' for "The
| King has come" Often, in consequence, a SEN
tence or an expression is rendered sufficiently
ludicrous, as the sequel will show. A gentle

| to clever man, the Rev. Mr.. -, Qet his local
ty be secret,) and recently he began his dis
course thus: "My friends, you will find the
subject of discourse this afternoon in the first
epss.a-zsneral of the Apostle Peter, chapter
| 5th andSverse sth, in the words: 'Tbe Devil he
goeth about like roaring lion, seeking whom
he may devour.' Now, my friends, with your
leave, we will divide the subject of our text to-
day in four heads. Firstly, we shall endeavor
to ascertain who the Devil he was;' secondly
we shall inquire into his geographical position
namely, Where the Devil he was, and Where
the Devil he was going Thirdly, and this Of
personal character, who the Devil he's seek.

to solve question which has never been solv.
