CONCEALED WEAPONS.

The Atlanta Herald, in an article
on what it calls "the concealed weap-

preference for adjusting difficulties
by the "fist and skuli' system. Il
says manly appeal to muscle j. the
most honorable reference to which q
dispute may be carried in our opin-
ion. There may be those who think
1t il not decent for one gentleman to
close in an embrace more pressing
than polite with another gentleman,
and there punch and be punched
until the eyes put on the weeds Of
mourning, and the nose yields up its
tide Of claret. II strikes as, how>
ever, that this isas respectable q way
Of restoring an equilibrium Of rela-

There Is something hearty, honest

squaring insults. A simple set-to-
a flying out Of q fist from the should
err q few stars dancing before the

is all over. There is about as much
danger in this sort Of fighting too as

bystanders. We know Of 9 man who
has carried pistol steadily for nine

CIVIL RIGHTS BILL,

Like many other public acts, is bill
with false title. 1t proposes Civil
Rights, but practically denies them.
1t proposes to equalize education, but
really does nothing of the kind. It
is a blow alike at white and colored
people. 1t asks an impossibilisy. 1t
asks not only that the prejudices of
a century shall be broken down at
once, but insists upon pains and PEN
alties if they are not. Besides maxi
ing this unjust and unnecessary war
upon our school System, it goes fur.
Their, and inilicts penalties upon re-
ligious corporations for not conform
ing to the letter of the law in the
management Of their baptismal fonts,
and in the regulation of their ceme-
teries. 1t dictates to owners of tav-
ems, and theatres, and restaurants,
as to the manner in which they shall
conduct their business, or rather who
may OF may not be admitted to their
tables and seats of entertainment -
1t fines and and imprisons men who
conduct their business in their own
way. 1t is a bill 10 no sense Reppb-
lican in it's character, for it makes
war upon the States which alone can
rightfully control educational insti-
tutions, but upon the lifelong GUS
toms and action Of the States and
people. 1t is in every respect an
unnecessary measure. 1t is as desa
potic in it's character as it will be Of
fensive in its execution. We criti-
else other Governments and forms Of
Governments as despotic, and suffer
our rulers to make despotism of
their own for us. Congress may
destroy our schools, and build up
new despotism in the country, but it
cannot change the minds of men, nor
compel the people in social life and
conduct, to act either against their
will or their mature judgment. 1t
can punish now, but it cannot long
act against personal right, State
right, and the life>long customs Of the
country. The enemies of the color,
ed race more than their friends, res
,joice when they see an act like this,
and SO may the enemies Of the COINS
try. when they see Congress step by
step, making innovation upon inno-
walton upon established rights
What, indeed, may Congress not do
in the way Of State, social and local
interference, if it can pass an act like
this !?
The more important objection to
the bill, which is Federal interfer>
ence with such State institutions as
education, and the almost literal po-
sition Of placing all the children Of
the country under the political can~
troll or superintendent Of the FEEDER
al Government, is topic which the
defenders of the bill in their discus
sions avoid as much as possible.

that she ''can't do any better"
If marriage is to be regarded as
merely civil, business contract, all

with the best inventory. But it

that there is to her s0old Of differ
ence between two men who must be
to a casual observer exact counter
parts, ard that while one answers to
every fibre tone Of her existence, and
the other is mute or discordant ma
ture she recognizes the fatality Of
ignoring the difference. And any
woman who stands on her heart at
the marriage altar and gives her
hand in marriage to man whose
face is not the most precious one on
earth, whose presence does not give
her the supremest rest, satisfaction
and content, VOWS to love, when she
cannot, to obey because Of force, to
honor and cherish where she will find
contempt and repugnance. It is q
pitiable shift, trying to "drive liking
to love;' trying to be good and
true wife, because you have promised
to be such, and trying to subject
yourself to wifely requirements when
every spark of feeling and nature in
you is disloyal. 1t is q pitifnl thing
to be simply bodily married, and 80
I say to unmarried women, for the
sake Of happiness for the sake Of
self-respect for the sake Of genuine
responsibility for the sake Of all
that is noble, pure and divine in wo-
manhood as we'll as manhood do not
marry for the sake Of any "because"

Human existence is compensate
ing one. Every joy has Its equiva-
lent in sorrow, and somehow there is
a happiness answering the cry Of
misery. Nobody ever came into the
world without getting out Of it,.
There is the earth and the sea for
the dead and aims houses and chart.
table institutions for people who find
a niche nowhere else. And there's
work to be done in thousand forms !;
each soul to be educated and discip-
lined for the next life; Heaven to
be won; God glorifed and enjoyed
forever; and / think you are yet to
learn that nowhere but under the
matrimonial tent life finds its Alpha
