American Girls.

A French traveller, who has recently
passed some months on this side of the
Atlantic, furnishes the RcUuc aes Dcur
Monaes quite lengthy sketch Of life
and manners in America. Without
comment we give that portion Of his
sketch in which reference is made to
tho mann ers aud customcs Of the
average American girl. We imuginc,
however, that the picture drawn will be
readily recognized. The writer says
The young American girls only live
to have the best possible time. They
are rs free as can be. Fortunately heir
exaggerated love Of pleasure is check ed
by calculating temperament, which h
saves them from many fall. Then
the laws of the country protect til EN-
moro efficiently than ours would agains
the enterprise Of the male intrigucr.
They do not, however, prevent many
abuses, and fast young ladies are by no
means rarity in the city of New York
During the day they go with some
friends or with the escort Of him W no
has the privilege to hirt with them to
the Central Park In winter they go
slelshing aud skating, and air their
curiosity in all the stores Of Broadway.
There they get all sorts of goods spread
out before them; they ask the price Of
each and buy none. The impassiye
salesman does not show the least sign of
discontent. There is II peculiar word
Tor that singular custom |, is 'shop
ping Another custom which is largely
practiced by American ladies j., to enter
confectionery shops and take ice creams
at every opportunity i;
In the evening the same young ladies
are seen ut the theaters and in the
fashionable eating saloons. Ifagtcat

to meet Ihem there. In the ss;saaer

where several times day they
make Il display Of dresses which might
ruin score Of husbanis; or they cross
the ocean and as;onish European folks
by their merry freaks. Many
people accustomed to our habits would
not fancy such girls for wives, al they
may not be wrong; but the truth is that
these gay, lishthearted, and often
dangerously imprulent girls, make in
the end excellent wives and mothers.

reached by the city cars. 1t embraces
large tract of valuable land-several hun

A Correction.

Senator Sypher claims that the REpUBLI-
CAN reported him incorrectly in the report
OF the debates which took place in the
Senate on the appropriation bill. As the
REPUBLICAN had no intention of doing this,
1t freely gives the Senator the benefit of a
correction by giving his own version of
what he said upon that occasion, which is
as follows:
Mr.. President-I desire briefly to explain
my vote on this bill. 1t appropriates a
great deal more money than is necessary
tor the legitimate EXPENSES of this session
of ten days. This measure originated in
the other branch Of the General Assembly,
where the Democratic party is largely in
the majority. From the indications around
me, the members of that party in this body
intend also to give their support to this
measure. Is this the kind of reform they
propose to offer depleted treasury and an
impoverished peopiel Beside, sir, the COM
pensatlon provided for in this bill is for
services never performed. 1t is pay to
members who refused t. take their seats
and do their duty to their constituents.
protest again the passage of this bill with
this enormous amount for session of only
ten days.
Senator Sypher voted against the motion
to suspend the constitutional rules to place
the bill on its third reading and also against
the bill on it's final passage.

The Providence Murder.

The preliminary examination OF James
Therrell, charged with the murder Of James
II. Aickler, an account of which the Herald
published last week, was held at Lake
Providence on the twelfth instant. Several
witnesses were examined, the most import
ant of whom was Anderson Walker, who
said he was in the store of +. NJ Hays g.
Co. at the time of the shooting: was in the
cOuntngroOm talking to a Mr.. HolbrOok,
with his face to the entrance; saw Therrell
enter with pistol in hand and cock the
same; take deliberate aim in the direction
of Aicklen, who was writing at little desk,
and tire. Therrell then turned to Hclbrook
and pointed the pistol at him; HOlbrook
caught it and they scnfiled, when Hol
brook ran out the back door, and Their
rell fired after him; Therrell passed
into the store, when his brother Bobby
met him and exclaimed, "Oh, brother,
what have you done y Therrell said, "Tm
gone up; I'm gone up" Witness attention
was then turned to Aicklen, who jumped
up, and putting his hand on his breast, ex-
claimed: "Oh, my Godr' stepped forward
two or three steps, and fell dead, shot in the
side, the ball penetrating the side under
the left arm and coming out under the right
nipple. The case was fully argued on both
sides, after which Judge Morse committed
Therrell to the parish Jail to await the action
of the district court on charge Of murder.
We have here another warning against
too free indulgence in the demon alcohol.
Aicklen and Therrell had always been in
innate friends; the relations between the
two families we're kind and close, and no
quarrel had occurred; but whisky, to which
may be traced 50 many enormous crimes.
