What tyranny! Mus we buy n wai'tcoat also

abuse of mower! Range Yourself always on the
side Of the oppressed, young editor Let your
ringing voice he always heard in protest against

these usurping fashionable tailors. They will
quail before your powerful pen, and make for

thus earnestly TO the younq editor, because ne is

Mind, Is the most correct thing in the line of

We cannot recount all that has been done

Northern and Southern Girls.

Miss Constance Fennimore Woolston
writes to the Cleveland (Ohio) Herald thus
You can tell Southern girl at once.
She is rounder than her Northern sisters
indeed she is never thin or lank: she walks
with languid step, and all her movements
are slow and indolent; she is never alert.
She has fine, soft eyes, with a serene ex.
preston, very different from the quick.
keen eyes of the North. She has not the
beautiful white and red complexion of New
York and New England; rather is she sal.
low, with few rose tints; you might call
her cream-colOr. She never looks anxious.
no matter what happens. She does not
think she can help matters by her advice
or interference, but sits back calmly and
leaves everything to BROTHER or fpa.'
pronouncing the latterword in a way defy
Northern girl to initiate. The word
might be used as a shibboleth; it is not
exactly pay but halfway between that
and the sound of "a in ca. Our Southern
girl dresses picturesquely rather than trinity.
and has brighter cOlors and more Aoatino
ends and curls about her than a Northern
belle allows. She has pretty, plump hands.
but she is not particular about the gloves
that cover them-I mean particular-com.
pared with Fifth-avenue rules. In short.
she is more voluminous sort of q girl in
every way, and cares less about the
fashion, She has one decided ADVANTAGE
over the Northern girl, however, and that
is her voice; it is sweeter and lower. n
little trainante, perhaps, but essentially
gentle and womanly."
Whereupon Tennessee maiden takes
up the pen-cudgel in behalf of her sunny
cline sisters, and asserts that "if the
Southern girl has not got the rosy cheek of
her New England sister, she can boast of a
noble and graceful form and warm and
generous heart, what her diminutive North.
ern sisters cannot do, as they are governed
by the cold climate in which thew ara
raised; and as for the accent of the South.
ern girl, it would be impossible for New
England girl to initiate Southern girl. for
she always talks as if her mouth was full of
hot mush. AS for dress and taste the
Northern girls can never compare with their
Southern sisters in style and grace. Nor
docs the Southern girl want to make
speeches nor does she want TO 20 to the
bar and expound the law, or to the pulpit
and preach the gospel. She wants to re-
main at home and make that heaven for
her father or brother or husband. She
does not court the Northern girls opinion.

But earnest labor has done as much to in

About ten days after marriage Bunday was
surprised, on awakening in the morning. to

celYlng no reply he began to surInise that
there must be some secret on her mind sbo
Withheld from him; that was the cause Of
her anguish, SO he remarked to Mrs. r.
that as they were married she should tell

could avert it, and after considerable coax.

" Last night ! dreamed that was single.

to one hundred and fifty dollars, and as I

Thinking to console her, Bunday placed
his arm lovingly around her and asked.
" And did you see any men like me there -
"oh, yes" she replied drawing away
from him, "lots like you; they were tied
up in lots like radishes, and sold for ten

Three children in Newark were recently
terribly burned. The parents were absent
from the house several hours, and left
together two little twin girls, aged five
years, and younger sister, three years old.
The fire went out in the stove, and the
children attempted to rekindle it. In tbis
effort they initiated the example of their
mother, and poured a quantity of Kerosene
into the stove, as they had seen her do.
Doubtless they poured in more than sbo
would have done, for when the match was
applied, the top of the stove was instantly
blown of, and the little experimenters ON.

At the conclusion of the service farmer

10 MAKE SALT BUTTER FREsH.-Put four
pounds OF salt butter into churn, with
four quarts of new milk, and small portion
OF anatto. Churn them together, and in
about an hour take out the butter and
treat it exactly as fresh butter by washing
1t IN fresh water, and adding the customary
quantity of salt. This is a singular expert
ment. The butter gains about three ounces
to each pound, and is in every particular
equal to fresh butter. 1t would be greatly
improved by the addition of two or three
ounces of fine sugar in powder. A common
earthen churn answers the same purpose as
wooden one, and may be purchased at any
china store.

About the middle of September an Indian
international fair attracted much attention
at Muskogee, Indian Territory. Theexhibi-
tons were various, and some of them of n
novel character. The first prize for ladies
equestrlanship was contested by seven, and
was awarded to Miss Mary Brewer =
Cherokee. There were thirteen contestants
for the second prize, but the chief interest
centred in the race for the third prize.
which was ridden by three -blooded In.
dian girls. They wore their native cos
tunes, with bows and quivers slung over
their shoulders. The Indian Judges who
had been selected declined to act when
the riders were brought up to the stand to
receive the award; and when other Judges
were substituted, they failed to decide on
the first trial, and the contestants were re.
quired to exhibit for third time, much 10
the delight of the spectators. The prize
was finally awarded to Mineyes, the Chev.
enne, the young wife of M'Kusker the in.
