CUPID AND NEW SILKs.-It is mascu'
line eccentricity to have fondness fol
seeing the women they like in familiar
garments. More than one girl has
wondered how dear Harry or George
could be SO stupid as to propose to hel
while she had on that shabby merino OF
well>worn muslin, instead of declaring
himself when she had bedecked herself,
especially for him, with all the resources
of hei wardrobe. A new dress rather
awes lover, if it has any effect on him
at all. He likes dress that recalls to
him some pleasant "reminiscences of your
intercourse. Remembering this, one
comes to the conclusion that women
waste diplomacy in endeavoring to coax
money from their husbands. The same
amount of strategy, acumen and knowl-
edge of human nature, devoted to any
other subject, would make woman's
fortune. Exerted as it is, there is some
thing contemplate in it. If the wife
knows that the domstic finances will not
admit of a new dress, well and coed,
that is the end of that. If she feels
satisfied that the demand is just one,
make it in the name of common sense.
like a self-respecting woman, without
getting up an extra dinner for her lord
and master. arraying herself to find
favor in his eyes. and discoursing only
on the most delightful subjects--all to

some wives borrowed their policy from
Van Amburg, and fed up their lions well
before they dared to take any liberties

AL1rTLE GIRL KILLED BY RED ANTS.
The Opelika (Ala.) Observer, has the
following in reference to the death of a
little colored girl:
F. G. Jones informs us Of the singu-
lar death of little colored girl on his
farm near Auburn. The girl went to
some sill that had been used for the
purpose of cutting up meat, and on
which there was large number of red
ants. While asleep the ants by the hun
dreds made an attack on the child, and
when she awoke she WAS literally cover
ed with them, and all busy biting and
stinging. They were SO ferocious that
a woman on the place had to sweep
them off with brush broom. The bit
ing md sting we're so very serious that
fever ensued, which, coupled with the
poison of the bites, produced death two
days afterward.

WALL STREET IDEAS OF THE WEST AND
SoUTH.-The New York Herald shows
the intelligence of its remarks upon the
currency question by such remarks as
these:
"Now do cur friends see the gravity
of this proceeding or where it will sure
ly lead? The Western and Southern
States form territorially large part of
the Union, but in population, wealth
and revenue small part"
Let us see how small their part of the
population is. We will give it in round
,un,barc Wocf opd Southwest.
, 1874-05-14
numbers, West and Southwest:

These are all Western and South>
western States. The Eastern Southern
States we have not included. They are
Maryland, Virginia. North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia and Florida.
They have over five millions of inhabit-
ants. Thus the entire West and South,
which the Herald says had but "a small
part of the population" by the census
of 1870 had twenty. five millions of peo-
pie out of the thirty-eight and hall
millions which were in the Union
There are three quarters of million in
the Pacific States. In numbers the
sections stand thus:
West and South. ... .25, 900, ,000
Pacific States. .. 7S0, ,00O
Eastern States. Il, 600, ,000
The Northwest and Southwest have
more inhabitants than there are in the
North and Southeast. But, in fact, the
Southeast is identical in interest with
the South, and goes with it on the cur
rency and other questions, so that our
small part of the Union is simply two
thirds of it. Two-thirds Of the exports
of the country, upon which we get the
imports that we derive our custom rev.
enues from, are from Southern cotton
and Western breadstuffs and provisions.
The internal revenue mainly comes from
Western whiskey and tobacco. So much
for the Herald's idea that we only "fur-
nlsh small part of the revenue that
supports the Government" In wealth
the West and South is fully equal to the
East. The value of the articles that 90
over the Ohio River under the Ameri-
ean.sf flag, is equal to the total amoant of
our exports and imports on all the
oceans. There is not the slightest
comparison between the Eastern exter-
nal and the Western internal commerce.
In manufactures the West is already not
far behind the East, and in 1880 we will
surpass them in amount. At the World S
Exposition of Industry at Vienna one
half of the medals given to the United
States went to Ohio. and more than
one-third to Cincinnati alone. No East
ern Exposition has ever begun to equal
that of the South and West at Cincinnati
ii. 1t is, therefore, perfectly ludicrous
when the Herald says: "We have paid
our money to build railways. canals and
public buildings to develope the coun-
try and assist them in their advance to
civilization For Government i'm
provements the West have given tie
East several dollars where it has got
lack one. In canals and railroads,
where the East has lent money it has
been returned at high rate of interest.
The writer in the New York Herald,
and indeed most of those on the New
York journals which are in the interest
of Wall strset. seem rather to know less
than nothing of the statistics of the
Union, or are perfectly reckless in re-
gard to their statements of them.

4 Pen Picture of Governor Tilden.

Gath" of the Chicago Tribune paints
The following pen picture Of Governor
Tiiden:
He is peculiar little person. with no
part, face, legs, nor voice, to make hero
ic. He looks between a very little old
man and very little old boy. He can
speak. He can talk in your ear all
night. He has the persevering mendaci-
ty of bachelor bore. But, with great
deal Of cunning and craft, and physical
insignifcance, he has substantial points.
He Is wealthy, and believe made most
of his money. He is honest, too, de-
spite q great deal of partisan sort that
has been said about his accepting politi-
cal contributions from Tweed. That is
a cheap sort Of campaign Islander. There
never was a chairman of a State commit
tee that would refuse contribution of
that kind from anybody. Beyond all,
Samuel. J. Tiiden is to be credited with
the real, the courageous, the actual work
of expunging Tweed and his coterie from
the Democratic politics of New York.
Ho and O'Connor did it, and washed
their party Of Tammany; and it must be
said, whatever current belief is, that
John Kelly AID John Morrissey helped
in the work. There was as much nat
ural repulsion between Morrissey and
Tweed as between Tom Saysrs and Fa-
gin. OF course the public will stamp
on Morrissey and break his nose at every
election. but he sat two years in Con-
gress without stealing penny or asking
how to steal it.

THE PALISADE AND EUREKA
NARROW GCAGE r. II.

After specializing upon what may be
done when the narrow guage railway is
completed to Alpha, thirty-fve miles
from Eureka. where it is likely to have
its terminus for some months, the Sen
tiael says:
From Wadsworth on the ives. to To-
ana on the east. freight is put off at a
multiplicity of stations. destined for the
various mining and agricultural districts
In Eastern and Southeastern Nevada.
Much Of the freight for Belmont leaves
the Central Pacific at Wadsworth. while
Phoebe draws heavily from Toano. All
of this would be changed by the early
completion of the Narrow-Guage to Eu-
reka. Eureka would then be the great
distributing point for all Southeastern
Nevada. The Belmont trade would then
come 80 miles to Eureka in preference
to going 100 miles to Wadsworth: and
so would Phoebe seek Eureka in li0
miles instead of travelling 22O miles TO
reach Toano In q word, Eureka would
Immediately become the base of sup
plies for all points to the southwark,
and, as natural and inevitable conse-
quence. to the great benefit of the Mar
row-Gua.a Railroad. We, therefore.
take it that these important advantages
will not be lost sight Of by the owners
OF the road. and that instead of delaying
the work at Alpha. the enterprise will
be pushed through to Eureka with all
possible dispatch.
