SICEs on WoMEN.-Of all evils
prevalent among young men, we
know OF none more blighting in rs
moral effects than to speak slightly
Of the virtue Of women. Nor is
there anything in which young men
are so thoroughly mistaken as tie
low estimate they form OF the intec-
rity Of women-nOt Of their own
mothers and sisters, but others, who
they forget are somebody else's
mothers and sisters. As a rule, one
who sUrrenders to this debasinr
habit is NOS to be trusted with any
enterprise requiring integrity of
character. Plain words should be
spoken on this point, for the evil is a
general one and deep-rooted. II
young men are sometimes thrown
into the society of lewd or thought
less women, they have no more
right to measure all other women by
What they see of these, than they
would have 10 estimate the character
OF honest and espectable citizens by
the developments of crime in the
police courts. Let our young men
remember that their chief happiness
in life depends upon their faith in
women. No worldly wisdom, no
generation, can cover or weaken this
fundamental truth. 1t stands like
the record of God itself-for it is
nothing less than this-and should
put an everlasting seal on the lips
that are wont to speak slightly OF
women.

kindergarten Schools.

MI Editor:
Object teaching, which a few years ago was
confined to Germany, is fast being recognized
by American parents as the easiest and most
thorough. practical and natural mode o. youth
full training. Those of us whose little ones
have received its advantages are amazed at the
accurate and detailed character of their knowl-
edge of common things acquired in a few
terms. The originality displayed by them in
their remarks about the forms, colors and 9TH
err general features of familiar objects indicates
at once that there is no mere training of the
memory, no parrot-like development, but an
| harmonious stimulating of all mental faculties.
| What is this but that soundness of mind so de-
| sirable. The soundness of body is equally Sc
| cured.
So important is this matter that every parent
should, by his sympathy and patronage, aid its
| advancement.
1t may not be generally known that we have
the beginning of kindergarten in this city.

Trouble in Kentucky.

NEW YORK, Aug. ~.
A despatch from Lancaster, Garard Co., KY,
says that a political war has been going on there
for several days, occasoned by a difference be-
tween two leaders, both white men. Several
have been killed, and the residence of Sellers,
one of the leaders, in which his colored friends
had taken refuge, has been burned.
DANvLLE, Ky, Aug. 22.-The situation at
Lancaster to late hour this evening was as
follows:
Kennedy's friends occupy the court house,
and Mason & Saunders hotel, situated on the
road leading to Stanford. Sellers forces are
located on his premises, just down the hill on
the Lexington pike, and short distance from
the public square. A third party, whose mis-.
sion is to preserve order or restore peace, oc-
cupy the corner building on the corner of the
square, between the two parties, and on the
road to Lexington. The Circuit Court has not
adjourned.
Yeakley, who was shot, was brother in-law
of Kennedy.
The business houses are closed, and people
are in momentary expectation OF further
| trouble.
Loter.-"There is more shooting at Lancas-
| ter The negroes near the Sellers premises
| fred on party of whites in Browns building
on the corner above spoken of. The fire was
| returned, and skirmish between the parties
| was kept up till the time the messenger left
| Two negroes were shot and are supposed to be
| killed. No other casualties are known"
| CINCINNATI. Aug pa special despatch
| to the Gazette from Danvll, KY, gives the fol-
lowing account of last nights troubles at Ian
caster. A party from Lincoln Co. aud the
| Kennedy party commenced firing on the me-
| groes who occupied the Sellers property, and
| from all we can learn the negroes did no firing.
| They were fortified in Sellers house and occa-

! were under command of Sheriff Sanders of

About o'clock the wood and coal houses

ST. PAUL, 4inn., Aug. 22.-General Custer
in his report of the expedition to the Black
Hills says, 81 referred in a former dispatch to
the discovery of gold. Subsequent examina-
tons at numerous points confirm and strength
en- the fact of the existence of gold in Black
Hills in some of the water courses. Almost
every earth produced gold in small but paying
quantities.
Our brief hats in rapid marching prevents
anything but very hasty examination of coun-
try in this respect, but in one place, and the
only one within my knowledge where so great a
depth was reached, hole was dug eight feet
deep, the miners report they found gold-among
the roots OF grass and from that point to the
lowest point reached gold was found in paying
quantities. 1t has needed no expert to find
gold in the Black Hills as men without former
experience have discovered it at the expense of
but little time or labor
