getting the best Of it when the boys
began to interfere again. Twas just

around, and, instead Of arresung Lud-

OREaoN war DLBrA--A letter from
Washington, August 18th, to the
Jacksonville Sentinel, written by Mr..
B. f. Dowell, says the Oregon War
Debt claims are in bad repute in tho
Treasury Department, and this is be-
cause about twenty thousand dollars
wore paid out last Winter on claims
nowascertaiusd to be fictitious. He
says: Nothing will be paid on the
1866 war claims until the Dehcien-
cy Bill passes Congress next winter.
Under the late Act Of Congress the
balnnca OF appropriation, amounting
to 1921 1894 0S, was carried TO the Sur
plus Fund" And be supports this
statement by letter from the Third
Apditor OF the Treasury Department
TO that effect.

THE PRIVILEGES OF SOUTHERN
GIRts.-An exchange says: The
freedom of intercourse between young
people which prevails in the northern
States has never been known in Ken
tucky, Young people in the rural
districts do not, az q rule, receive calls
except in the presence of their elders.
The prevailing tone ofaddress stately
and deterential, recalling the manners
of 'chivalrous' times. For the least
indiscretion, real or fancied or for
any presumption onshe part Of suitor,
the rifle in the hands Of father or
brother is tho ready and efficient re-
buke. A love scene, such as is depicted
in the highly colored novels now fash
ionahle, would be impossible in any.
decorous household. Every woman
is taught reserve fromthe time Of PIN
afores; every man is taught discretion
and seli.control by prevalent senti-
ment no less than stern examples"
