Mr. Morton on the Germans,

Usually the Senator from Indiana keeps a
cool head, and does not allow himself to
lose his balance. But the exposures of
his inconsistency on the financial question.
and especially of the weakness of his argu-
ment tor imitation, by Mr.. Schurz the 9th
er day, were too much for his equanimity
He could not answer the facts of lis ad-
versary, he was unequal to contend with
the reasoning, and therefore he got into a
passion and tainted MIR. Schurz with be-
ing German and not understanding our
institutions.
Now, passion is not the best condition
of mind for leading statesman who has
patriotic designs on the PRESIDENCY And
it is not the part Of wisdom to assail our
German fellow citizens for ignorance, or
to question the motives of one who has
done honor to the land of his birth. since
he has acquired by voluntary adoption the
right to participate equally with the native
born in our public affairs.
Leaders like Mr.. Morton find the Ger.
mans very good, intelligent, and worthy,
as long as they consent to train ia THEN
company, to vote their regular ticket, and
| to swallow whatever they prescribe without
making faces But as soon as they dare
to think Tor themselves, to turn thei,
backs on fraud and corruption, or to claim
independence Of party, then they are stu
pid, unpatriotic, and have no knowledg,
of ''our Institutions
OF course when Mr.. Morton got dowr
from his high horse the next day, afte
sleeping upon the scene and its possible
consequences, he did not mean to refec
upon Mr. Schurz's nationality Oh! Ger

Germans in Indiana and other Western
States, he really loved that race, and any

wOMEN's EDUCATIONAL SOCIETY.

The WOmen's Social Educational Society met
yesterday afternoon, at three O'Clock, in Pmpton
Hall. Mrs. Caroline SOue read paper on 'Peace.,
The lady, In the course OF a well digested essay,
took the ground tnat peace, and not immediately
itself, but Its principle, was not much advanced by
any number OF peace conventions in which set
resolutions were adopted in favor OF peace but
which In the end amounted TO little that was prac-
tlcal. Inc true way OF securing peace IN this
world was TO commence at the fountain head-at
home. 1t was by cultIvatlng peace here, by guard
ing over and protecting the vile and the Young
ones, that the beauty OF peace could be seen. il
was such test That would show all the various
advantages which were to be gained bv
it: the principle OF peace should be particularly
observed towards women All that was rough
should be excluded from them. In their faults thew
should be borne with, and in the critical months
all should be done to make their surroundings
quiet ana pleasant In this way the gradual disseIl-
lnati0n 0fpeace would take place through woman's
influence, and inc principle which men have
lought f0r, century after century, and age after
age, would be more firmly established by this init
mate nome influence than by all which men could
90. Let women then, do something to make their
MONIES happy and peaceful, and when prac tcally
exenpllned In TINS way men would begin to see
that, after ALL there was sonnet thing more beauti-
lul than continual turmoil. The lecture was
greeted with much applause by o small audience.

they desired trial by jury they would certainly be

be no admittance. The Earl and his family

directed the driver to give his horse rest in
the inn yard. The castle is approached by
drawbridge over dry moat. The words

The building is very venerable and interest

roaming by himself along the beach, Chamber

choicest secrets, then, laboring with his
might, still meeting and defying hardships,
which our poorest laborers never conceived of,
through all his young manhood, ever reading

GENTLEMEN'S DRESS.-No one who thinks
about it can fail TO see that a very great deal
of mems suffering during our summers, is
due to the clothes they wear. 1t is not the
weight of the garments, or their warmth,
which causes this, but their fashion. For
the trouble begins with the very shirt; and
surely no other garment so absurdly untitled
to the requirements of nature as one Of our
shirts is in summer was ever worn. 1t Is
contrived to fret us just in the place where
we wish to be freest, and where we feel fret
ting most-the neck and wrists; and in per-
feet condition is just that which this fretting
is surest to destroy.
What incongruity could be greater than
that of asweltering man and a starched
shirt? A collar made of three or four thick
nesses of linen, starched stiff enough to tDrn
of pistol bullet, and buttoned round the
throat outside neckband half as thick and
almost as stiff; wristbands conforming TO the
| same pattern in all respects, and shirt
bosom like bleached breast-plate-this is
| our first preparation to meet the fierce heats
| of June, July and August. Then we button
| our trowsers tightly around our waists; we
must fret our shoulders with braces, and we
| must put on waistcoat.
| Did any man ever reflect what ridiculous
| and superfluous thing waistcoat is in warm
| weather? 1t is the most artificial, tailor-eon-
| trived garment that.the modern tailor-ridden
man puts on. Aud in summer time.what an
irritating, impertinent thing il is, whether
| made of the softest woolen or the stiiiest
( linen. For there is another absurdity let the
| waistcoat be of as light and cool a material
| as we can get, we must starch it.
Moreover. to all this we must add the
crowning absurdity Of cravat or tie OF
some sort, around our already sextuply i'm
| prisoned necks. Truly, while men go about
dressed in this style during summer, fretting
themselves into real discomfort for quarter
OF the year, the less they say about the abb
| surdity of women's dress the better-at least
within hearing of the quiek-witted among the
| qulck-tongued sex.
