The Te-hes.

Perhaps you don't know them by
that name; we'll, then, suggest a bet
ter. They are the salt of our soci-
ETY., in one sense-girls of good
minds, minds that will be good if
they survive the giggling age, girls,
of good families, well dressed, po-
lite and fine looking, but possessed
of the insane idea that they must
laugh upon all occasions, whether
there is anything to warrant it or
not, else they are not jolly. gay girls
and lively company. A bevy of
them came into the Public Library
the other day; one had just had an
adventure which was to be recited;
she dropped into chair, bent over
and held her sides and they all
chorused in. They had not heard it
yet, but, of course, it would be aw-
full funny when it was told.
She was coming up X. street when
she stepped on a rotten plank-te,
he, he-chorus, te, he, he, and down
she went. o dear, te, he, he, and
her foot got angled-full chorus
te, he, he, he, and a man came along
with a horrid check shirt on, he, he,
he-big checks-perfectly horrid-
he, he, and helped her up, ha, he,
he, ad h5itun, all together. Now 1
did not make this up, not a bit of
it. They were splendid girls-I
speak sincerely-but what an exhi-
bition! 1 saw an old gray beard
take a book he didn't want and hur-
ry away. Then another girl took
it up and said her book was so com
ical she just howled over it-ba, he,
he-they must all read it, they
would laugh so, as if that was the
chief end and aim of a girls exis-
tence.
When a man is amused he laughs
with gusto, and then straightens
his face till next time, and it has
some meaning, but the perpetual
grin or CYCLE is detestable.
At a lecture recently I saw six
young ladies seemingly convulsed
with laughter for five minutes or
more at the accidental dropping of
a paper of candles over the floor.
think. 1 can go into a social par
Tor and select the groups of married
ladies from those of the girls, not
by their faces or their dress, but by
the amount of giggling done; matri
mony suddues the smoker.
Now we are not an old maid with
corkscrew curls and vinegar lips
and nose out of joint. and we do
not speak for sulkiness; but we
leave it to the FRBE Pass or any
othet philosopher if there isn't a
call for reform in this branch of
young lady behavior. E c. T.

voice from comprehensive.

Mr. EDIroR Permit me to make
a few remarks through the columns
Of the CITIZEN pertinent to the. so
called, s'ten per cent. law and the
series of Dlighting consequences
that proclaim its baneful existence.
The State of Tennessee with her
sunny, salubrious climate, great
mineral wealth, fertile soil, and
sterling manhood, is not progressing
as rapidly as she might, and may
yet.
What impedes her onward march
to the goal Of financial greatness?
It is not lack of hopeful hearts and
willing hands to cultivate her fields
and excavate the treasures hidden
in her bosom; but the lack of sufi-
Gent means to do SO efectually.
It is an undisputed fact that,
since the joint action of a few men
model legislators-made ten per
cent. a legal rate of interest in Ten
nessee, the market value of land
throughout the State has been, and
is still, rapidly decreasing. Many
valuable farms are now left unculti-
waited, and Others titled in such a
way that it would seem as if the
prime object of the agriculturist
was to exhaust the producing power
of his lands, as soon as possible,
rather than to fill his barns with
bounteous harvest. That money is
a mighty motive-power without the
aid of which the farmer cannot
carry on his business successfully,
is an axiomatic fact. Now, at the
prices that farm produce brings in
our home markets, it is beyond the
range of possibility for the Tennes-
see farmer to pay ten per cent. for
the use of capital and obtain food
and clothing of the commonest kind
for himself and family: he is unable
to do so from the result of his toll,
and has no chance to obtain money
for a lower rate of interest while
ten per cent is sanctioned by
law; and what is he to do? Guilt
vate a small portion of his farm i'm
perfectly, and let the remainder lie
waste. When the farmers prospects
are, from any cause, blighted, the
merchant, mechanic, lawyer, and di-
vine, feel, though perhaps in a di
minished degree, the evil of the
resultant effect as they are depend
ing upon him for the bread they eat
and for many other things contrib
uting to their enjoyment. Then,
what is the philosophy of keeping
this obnoxious, impolitic "ten pei
cent. law IN existence?-To enable
a score or two of modern Shylocks
to completely paralyze the efforts
of the honest, all-sustaining farmer
with their devitalizing exactionsi
Oh, for some justice loving spirits

Fashions.


The snow storm and bleak cold
windy weather we have just passed
through, have made the ladies feel
like drawing their winter wraps
more closely, and tleaving the dis
cussion Of spring fashions for some
day far in the future. Neverthe-
less, with the bright warm days they
win come out like so many butter
dies. to bask in the sunshine and
balmy air, not to show their fnery,
of course, but they will be looking
out for new fnery and fashions.
Fashion reminds one very much of
the old mill-horse that went round
and round in a circle, never getting
out Of his beaten track. 1t lays of
one style for another, only TO lay
this off for the other, after a few
months. Over-skirts and polonaises
have chased each other this way
for so long that we expect nothing
else. Cream is still spoken of as
the prevailing color; a lady will
hardly be considered dressed unless
she have little of this color about
her, if not a great deal In fact
some of them are becoming so ias
tidious, that they refuse to drink
the milk now offered in market be
cause it is of q blue tinge. Cos
tunes are still to be made of plain,
striped and plaid goods; the plain
to form the lower skirt, the plaid
or striped the upper part Of the
dress. Cream colored chip bonnets
prevail, but black chip and lace
bonnets will still be worn. Cream
color is the favorite shade for ties,
and appear in crepe lisse, batiste
Brussels net and cashmere lace.
For young girls are inflated ties
Of white muslin, finished on the
edge with needle work scollops, and
ornamented with the initials of the
young lady. Some ties have cardi-
nal, blue, scarlet or rose, mingled
with the cream. Linen collars are
of the English shape, made very
high. Seal brown undressed kid
! gloves will be very stylish for travel
ing. These Undressed gloves will
be first choice with fashionable la
dies. Lisle-thead and silk gloves
will also be used in summer.

able character and really good edu-
cation, fall into this habit, thinking
it shows smartness to answer back
in slang phrases; and they soon
slip fippantly from their tongues
with a saucy pertness that ia neither
lady-like or becoming. I bet, or
you bet is bad enough among men
who are trading horses or land; but
the contrast is startling and posi-
lively shocking to hear these words
issue from the lips of young lady
They seem at once to surround her
with the rougher association Of
mems daily life, and bring her down
from the pedestal Of purity to their
cwn coarse IeYel.''

A Perfect Marriage.

A perfect and complete marriage,
says Theodore Parker, is perhaps
as rare as perfect personal beauty.
Men and women are married frac-
tionally, now a small fraction, then
a large fraction. Very few are
married totally, and they are only
after some forty or fifty years of
gradual approach and experiment.
Such a long and sweet fruit is a
complete marriage that it needs a
very longer summer to ripen in, and
then long winter to mellow and
season in. But a real happy mar
riage of love and judgement be-
tween a noble man and woman is
one of the things so very handsome,
that if the sun were, as a Greek
poet tabled, god, he might stop
the world in order to feast his eyes
with such a spectacle.

Slang Talk by Young Ladies.

Young ladies have but little idea
of the impoliteness and bad effect
of the slang phrases often used in
so-called polite society. An ex-
change says, in a word of advice to
any whS are partially OF wholly adj
dicted to it:
"You have no idea how it sounds
to the ears unused or aversed to it,
to hear ayoung lady say, when she
is asked if she will go with you to
some place, Not muchp or if re-
quested to do something she does
not wish to, to hear her say, Can't
see it,

Miss, who is educated and accom-

her assistance at some work, she

The Aberdeen Niss.) Examiner
says that kerosene oil is an effective
antidote for the bite of snake,
when applied externally. 1t says
that a little child of Mr.. c. NJ. Jones
was bitten by a highland moccasin,
and perfect relief and cure obtained
by the application of this oil. 1t fur
ther says that a valuable dog was
bitten by a "cotton mouth" and
was in a dying condition when the
first external application of the
oil was made, but obtained instant
relief, and was up and running
about in two or three hours.

From the rebels ran on Gilpin, my horse,
And for my debts l run my face.
SO he took Macs hand, and led Msc e band;
And he stumped with might and main.
But naughty Ben Wiley L., Bean Belly Wi
