Sex in Conversation.

The oId-time complaint OF me1 re-
RaFding the burden of ladies in general
conversation is mostly obsolete. In
our day, women, on the whole. tax IN
society quite as well as men. They are
not quite so epigTammatic, and some
time5 lack condensation but they are
decidedly more sprightly, and tell any
story which requires quiet dTamatlc ex-
preston a good deal better. Their
9raod defect in conversation Is oDhging'
ness. If the subject started Is q bore
to him, or one he knows nothing about,
the man viii change it or bs silent; but
a woman viii often go on, ont OF mere
obIioincness, with a IhOw OF interest
which i visibly pretense, and series
of replies which are vapid as the white
of an egg. No man talks as badly es
most women on subjects they knew
nothing about. for no man, who, under
those circumstances, talks AZ al, hssi'
tetes to be a little bitieT-and vanilla,
be It nice or not, hiss at worse more
fl gyors than cream. cheese. But the
serene, equable foE Of woman's talk
helps nightly to prevent conversation
from degeneratiDg INTO intellectual duel
ipr-which, though amusing for two
minutes. is a weariBess after fyes and
to be rerleeb should be arrested after
two shots each. Women, moreover,
wake ND taIkativeness in the men-an
attribute Of the sex which Is too often
overlooked.

Defiant Of weather and waves.

They tasted while sleepi0g, ike bears,
And prayed IN their Vanity Fairs,
And walked in the narrow way slowly,
Much numbered with Bslzsbub's wares.
Then followed a wonderful battle;
Good lack J how the weapons did rattle
The women, the children. the cattle
Took part in the desperate strife;
They carried the war to the knife;
With slauehter Atlantic wzs rife

They made twenty-five hearty Dinners
They gObbled the saints and the sinners

They swallowed white, yellow and black,
The hunRriest, sreediest pack

That ever sent region 70 wrack.
Henceforth they were chiefs of the nation,
And lived BY relief legislation;
They served up bill for collation.
And fattened law like beast;

While railroads and steam navigation,
Scarce furnished the joints for a feast.

Titulomania."

A French correspondent, writing from
Berlin, gives an amusing account of
the present rage in that city for titles
of all sorts. The "people," properly
so called, exist no longer everybody
is a person of distinction. Thus very
ordinary looking burgher viii expect to
be addressed not only as " Mr.. The
Wen-Born," but as councillor, super
intendent, secretary, or what not of
some committee, or board, the very
name and functions of which would, in
any other country, be passed over as
too obscure for attention. Tbs "privy
councillors" alone have three separate
ranks among them-the ' simple, the
veritable," and the inferiOr''-and
in order not to give offense. it Is neces-
sary to distinguish accurately between
the Glasses. A shop-keeper, who Ocea-
sionaIly supplies the royal coffee-pot,
subscribes himself Mr. Puryeyor 20 the
court. The depots ale thronged with
'cOnservators, expeditors and "reg-
istrars." To write a letter TO a person
of any Importance it IS necessary to buy
first of all an enormous envelope, and
when by Gint of small writing the adj
dress Is finished. it will be read to some
what like the following effect s. Mr..

well-born, the Privy Councillor of Archi-
lecture" then the individuals name,
and then the appendages, such as
" Member OF the Society for the Ex-
tinction.Of Pauperism, of the Imperial
Board Privileged for the Inspection ef
Sewers" &c. The most ridiculous part
of the whole affair is that the wives
claim participation in the glories of
their lords, and grayely announce them
selves as doctoresses, directresses OF
police. heutenantesses, and " even ser
eeant mattresses" A mere worthy
sir or g gracious lady" is 0ow be
come an abiect and scarcely reputable
member Of society and as for a simple
Mr.. or Mrs, such a creature would
hardly be regarded by thu people ol
Berlin as. a fellow-being, far leas &
member Of even the lowest society.

they should not insult the French by
appearing in their theatres in unseemly
costumes 1t would not be permitted
in Eugland, even in the galleries of our

respect French susceptibilities in Paris.

Cotton Manufacturing in Georgia.

The surprising success of the cotton
factory at Augusta, Georgia, has more
than once been instanced as an exam
pie of the profitable nature of such an
undertaking, and it is encouraging to
add now that in other portions of the
same state cotton factories are flourish
ing and enjoy an exceptional prosperity
such as is unknown at present in New
England manufacturing districts. In
qniries received from the north lead the
Columbus Enquirer to give some inter
esting information concerning the fac
tories in operation in that town. 1t
appears that there are seven cotton and
woolen mills running, built on the ruins
of those built during the war. They
are working 80, 600 spindles and !, 800
looms, and take about 5000 bales of
cotton annually. The Chattahoochee
river, on which Columbus is located,
furnishes the motive power, having a
fall of one hundred aud twenty feet in
three miles. The present dam in the
river Will run $50, coo spindles, and it is
estimated that the river will give power
enough for a million and q quarter
spindles, providing employment for st
least sixty thousand people. New fac
tories are to be started shortly, and az
other points in Georgia the same spirit
of development is at work. Atlanta is
about to organize a company to build
a large factory, and IN other places
there are indications of progress IN the
same direction, giving cheering evil
dences that a new era OF prosperity for
the south is at hand.

This old and well established Life In
surance Company has organized Local
Board in Fayette county, by which ar
rangement, policy holders in this compa-
ny will secure reliable insurance, with
the advantage, in addition, of having the
money invested in insurance remain at
home, instead of being sent out of the
State, as in the case of other companies
not working under the Local Board sys-
tenn. The amount Of money paid out for
Life Insurance in this county is large and
the annual payment of policies makes a
considerable drain upon the county,
where the money is sent away. This
company proposes, through the Local
Board, to loan on approved security, the
net amount of all premiums collected in
the county to ,policy-holders here, thus
securing the investment of the money at
home, an advantage which cannot fail of
being appreciated. The following gen.
tlemen, each holding a $4,000 policy in
the Penn Mutual, compose the Local
Boards:
