ADVICE TO GIRLS.

An exchange says: why will girls
run away to get married ?'' 1--WE give
it up" answered the Louisville Courier
Journal. "But we know a lot here who
would be glad to stay at home, or jump
at the chance to walk off and get mar
ried. The boys amt around asking
them like they did. 1t takes more
money to run n of them nowadays
than it does to run a steamboat, but they
can see more fun with a steamboat.
All. girls, 1t is your WI fault. Swap
off your silk and satins for lawns and
calicos; shut up the piano and dive
into the wash tub; throw away your
fancy needlework and tackle a red-hot
stove IN the kitchen. Instead of receiv.
ing Brown, the bankers son, in the
parlor, keep your eye skinned for Bill
Burns, the blacksmlth's son, as he goes
home from work; kiss his dirty face
through a broken pane of glass in the
kitchen window, and after awhile, when
he learns his trade, and you know your
business, get married, and go to house
keeping by yourselves, help each other
to live happy, raise a family that will be
an honor to your m and a credit to
themselves, die happy. and the angels
will not turn their backs upon you up

GOV, sTEARNs OF FLORIDA.
Republican Testimony as 10 n''
Character, Calibre. n
Record.

From a speech in Congress, March
8, 1876 By the Hon. W. H.. Purnnan,
Republican Representative from
Florida.
In 1872 this man I'M. L. Stearns was
pressed forward by n OF our then
United States Senators for the republican
nomination for governor. but his want
of learning and calibre and his unpopu-
lar record were of such a character that
the convention rebelled, both against
his master, the senator, and the tool
that was 10 be foisted upon the party,
and in this opposition it was my fate to
bear no insignificant part. My vehe-
ment objections then were based upon
his lack of qualifications, he being a man
with very limited education, with no re-
putable associations. without sagacity
or knowledge, with no accomplishments
of person or mind. and with no liked
principles except those of avarice and
stupidity.
1t was then well known and subsian-
tiated that while this now acting gov
ernor was agent of the Freedman's Bu-
reau in the state he swindled the freed
men out of quantities OF provisions which
the government charitably contributed
in those unsettled days to keep from
starvation the then newly freed people,
a portion or quantity of which he from
time to time sold for money to the plan
tiers, thus shameiully swindling both a
benefcent government and the deserving
and suffering objects of this benefcent
kindness. This record was too damagg-
ing for him to obtain the coveted nom-
ination OF governor, but by some inju-
dicious compromise he was at that m
nominated for acknowledgements.
What strange, fantastic tricks does
destiny play with states as well as with
individuals! Who could then have
OWNED that Providence had in store for
us the intliction of this obesity of incom-
petence as our future governor? The
unfortunate death OF Gov. Hart in 1874
precipltated this phlegmatic incubus
upon our state; and as South Carolina
once had its Moses. and New York its
Tweed, so FLORIDA has now its Stearns.

The audacity ofthe action of the South
Carolina canyassing board betrays great
desperation. If undone in the course of
justice it will stand as a monumental
infamy. Even if the court fails to reach
the board, the electoral vote of the state
will be little better than stolen goods,
which will faint the receiver as well as
the sharp practitioners who purloined it.
