MODERN YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN.

Jennie June, iu one of her gossipy let
ters undertakes to explain why 1t Is that
SO many young women marry elderly
men. She looks away from money
which has been so generally brought into
consideration of such alliances the
principal reason, and we are very much
inclined to think she has found it. The
young man of to-day, according to this
authority, is not the desirable party the
young man fifty years ago was; he is not
so thoughtful, sober, paintaking and con-
scientious; he lives at club, has no love
of home life nor desire to build up char
acter and reputation as man and citi-
zen; his ideas Of life are bounded by the
theatre and the doings Of his little set ;
and in TOO many cases his ambition is 10

shrink from entrustiBg their daughters 10
such youths rs these, even II they have
the opportunity, and are better pleased
TO bestow them ON Older men-men who
have sown their wild oats; who know

Temporary excitement Of Pleasure; who

ness. There il enDngb ia this opinion Of
keen aud observaut woman to cause re-
fieciion. Her picture Is undeniaby a
fair one, but OF course there are excep-
tions 10 young men, who are not all accu.
rately described ia her sweeping phrases,
The race OF fifty years ago has some lin.
gering samples still on earth, and most oI
them are no doubt complaining that the
young women are not the kind they bad
fifty years ago. They are now young
ladies to them the thoughtful, sober
painstaking young man Is stupid and o
bore. If be knows anything be over
whelms them, and no young lady likes tc
be overwhelmed. They prefer one more
airy, with a jauuty style, even a splicing
OF slang, and one who knows all the ligh
gossip of the town and can tell Il 10 !
breezy, fippant way that gives It relish
If be owns racer lie awful jolly, and
he's the young fellow that's just too nic'
for anything. We should suppose a
mother would naturally shrink from en-
trusting her son to such young ladies s.
these. But there sre exceptions here, 81
there are on the other side. The rea
need Is some means Of separatinglhe sen.
sible young people from those who SRI
not 50 sensible, and of bringing ih'

Professor Francis Wayland, OF Yale
College, read last week before the Amer,
lean Social Science Association, at Sara
toga, N. y, an interesting paper on
tranps, llc declared that the evil calls
for heroic treatment thus. Migrants are
paupers and therefore need relief They
are abIe-bodied aud are therefore compe-
tent TO contribute TO their owu support.
They are, as class, disposed to prey up
on the community, and the community Il
entitled to adequate protection FROM The
lawless violence, II seems TO follow,
therefore, that they should be placed In
situation which will, first, provide for
their necessities; second, compel them to
perform useful work third, prevent them
from committing crime fourth, render II
impossible for them to propagate paupers.
This, of course, involves the idea of con.
fnement with enforced labor; which may
be under the immediate direction and
control OF the town or county or state au-
thorities, and for longer or shorter per.
iod. In conclusion the writer recon.
mends the districting Of states, hiring
therein buildings aud land, and arresiing,
combining and employing yagrants; try
Ing TO form habits of industry among
them and paying any excess they may
have earned over their maintenance when
their term Of sentence expires.

HAYES TOUR.

Mr.. Hayes has returned to Wash,
ington after visiting Louisville
Nashville, Atlanta, Richmond, and
several other Southern cities, and
he is reported to be in excellent
spirits over his enthusiastic recep-
,tion at the hands of Brother KEYS
''erring Southern brethren" While
Mr.. Hayes, no doubt, had some mis-
givings as to the character of his res
ception among our people, all have
now, we suppose, been dispelled.
1t is stated that he reports the
country in the best condition, and
an inclination for a reunion of the
fraternal feeling, both in social and
business aspects, that existed prior
to the war, and will shape his future
administration of government af>
fairs with a view to bringing about
that happy state Of affairs between
both sections of the country, the OPP
ponents of his policy to the con-
trary notwithstanding, Let the
war painted administratio .s~calping
now stand from under,
the mighty will of the people
must and shall be observed.

COL. SAFFOLD'S POSITION.

The card of Col. r. c.. Saffold
will be found in another column .
lie says to the people of this sena-
torial district he appeals, etc. So
far as that is concerned it is his
prerogative 10 do as he wishes, but
whether the people will sustain him
IN that appeal is another matter
altogether, but we think they will
not. Col. Safold was q candidata
before the people, but not nominated
in the convention, and, in our judg>
ment, he will gain more friends by
submitting to the action of that
convention than by running as an
independent candidate. MI. Car
er was nominated by the conven-
ton, and will, beyond a doubt, be
elected in November by the people.
Again Col. S. says: l make my
appeal from the frauds, rings and
cl'ques that characterized the late
convention at Mississippi City,
We will not take time TO argue
these points with the gentlemen. but

Mr.. Garter had opposition, of

them. We were satisfied before
