We are ruined, not by what we really want,

will soon want what he cannot buy Cotton.

MISCELLANY.

COOP QUALITIEs.-Femalel oveliness never
appears to SO good advantage as when attirec
in simplicity of dress. No artist ever seeks
his angels arrayed in finery-never decks his
subjects of beauty with towering feathers and
gaudy jewelry and our dear human angels
if they would make good their title to that
name-should carefully avoid too much orna-
mental display. These tinselries may serve
to give effect on the stage or in the ballroom
but in daily life there is no substitute for the
charm of simplicity.
A vulgar perverted taste is not to be dis-
guised by the glitter of gold and diamonds
The absence of a true taste, and real refine
ment or delicacy, cannot be compensated for
by the possession of the most princely for
tune Mind may measure gold, but gold can
not measure the mind. Through the manner
of dress the minds of individuals may be
read quite correctly, like distinguishing the
lettered page through the delicate fabric, It's
sue. A modest woman will dress modestly,
and will appear to the best possible advantage
in a moderate becoming attire. A refined
and intellectual lady will bear the marks of
careful selection and faultless taste.

Rich WITHOUT MoNEy.-Many man is
rich without money. Thousands of men
with nothing in their pockets are rich. A
man born with good sound constitution, a
good heart, good limbs, and pretty good
headpiece, is rich. Good bones are better
than gold tough muscles better than silver;
and nerves that flash fire and carry energy to
every function are better than houses or land.
1t is better than landed estate to have the
right kind of father or mother. Good breeds
and bad breeds exist among men as really as
among herds and horses. Education may do
much to check bad tendencies or to develop
good ones but it is a greater thing to inherit
the right proportion Of faculties to start with.
The man is rich who has good disposition
who is naturally kind, patient, cheerful and
hopeful.

Author; if thou but rarely read, it will make

lot lie case.
1t makes no difference whether the officers
are elected by the people or not. If the Con-
stituton provides for such officers, the Legis-
lature cannot take from them the powers
usually pertaining to their offices. Again:
The Appeal says:
But neither Of these can have any application to
the proposed reform charter of this city. Nothing
in it proposed TO abrdge, withhold. or impair the
rights powers, and duties OF any of the officers

ELECTED by the people," again? Leave
out that qualification, and you cannot make
your point.
"No one supposes that the Legislature
can abridge the powers and duties of tbt
Governor or take them away" All? Why
not? "Because by the Constitution he i.
made an officer elective by the people, ane
his powers and duties are defined by that in
strument." Now, this is just what the Con
stitution does us to the mayor of every city
lie is declared to be. the chief eXecutiy,
officer Of the city just as ''the chief excel,
tive power" OF the State is vested in thu
Governor. In The name Of logic. why cal
the Legislature confer the mayors power

errors on court? The Constitution give
the mayor the power to remove all CITY Off

Was that constitutional? Then, why cauns
the Legislature confer upon Judge MoScuH
the powers to veto bills, commission Stat
officers, and remit fines and penalties, whic
powers the Constitution gives only 10 tn
Governor?
Again: The Appeal says:
So also as 10 the Dispatches supposed case abou

SILVER CITY, Oct. 81, 1874.

SILVER CITY, Oct. 81, 1874.
Mr.. EDIToR:-Allow me the space
of few lines in your columns to
call the attention of the voters of
Silver City School District, particu-
larly those who have children to
educate, to the importance of exam
lining carefully, before voting at the
ensuing election, the merits of each
candidate for School Trustees, on
both the Republican and Independ-
ent tickets.
This is a matter to be well con-
sidered, before casting our ballots.
There are, in my opinion, candidates
before the people for this respon-
sible office who are entirely unfit for
the position, and who, if elected, will
not, nor would they care to give the
proper attention to the welfare of
our schools, which for the past four
years has not been neglected. This
may be a matter of little importance
in the estimation of many who have
no sons and daughters to educate, as
I have; but remember your vote is
of the same importance as those who
are more directly interested. Look
well to this matter before voting.
Select those whom you know to be
capable, and will fill the office IAN
unsalaried and non-political one the
best.
With you rests the responsibility
of electing officers who will faith
fully perform their duties, and de-
fend our commonwealth against the
increase of crime and pauperism-a
result which follows, if our children
grow up to manhood without edu-
cation. The interest of society de-
mands of each of you your careful
and personal attention in this matter.
Those of you who have been de-
prived of educational advantages
should appreciate the importance of
good schools. y PARENT.
