F astionabIe Women.

Fashion kills more women than toll
and SORROW. Obedience to fashion is q
greater transgression of the laws Of
womans nature. greater injury to her
physical and mental constitution, than
poverty 6nd neglect The slave woman
at her tasks will live and grow old, and
sec two or three generations of her mis-
tresses fade and pass away. The washer
woman, with scarce a ray Of hope to
cheer her in her tells, viii live to SEQ
fashionable sisters die all around her.
The kitchen maid is hearty and strong
when her LADY has to be uursed like a
ck baby. 1t is a sad truth that fashion
pampersd women are almost worthless
for all the ends of human life. They
have but little force Of character; they
have still less power OF moral viii, and
quite as little physical energy. They
live for no great purpose in life; they ac-
complished no worthy ends They are
only doll forms in the hands Of mi!iiners
and servants to be dressed and fed to
order They dress nobody. They write
no books; they set no rich examples of
virtue and womanly life. II they rear
children, servants and nurses do ell,
cave to conceive and give them birth,
and when reared what ere they? What
DO they ever amount to but weak scions
Of the CID stock? Who ever heard OF a
fashionable woman child exhibiting any
virtue or power Of mind fer which it be-
came eminent? Read the biographies Of
our great and good men and women.
Not one Of them hud a fashionable
mother. They nearly all sprang from
stroug minded who had about as little TO
10 with fashion as with the charging
clouds.

that Is, the animal will fetch no more
from the butchers than can BE- realasl
for their hides, horns, hcOfs, t8llow, etc,
for expectation. In large establishments
devoted to preparing these utilzabie
portions of the bullock, there was os
course an immense waste when tho OK
went into the melting pot but this loss
is now in a great measure avoid ed by
boiling the animal at once into soup. or
concentrated extract Of beef After tha
head, horns, hoefs etc, are removed, the
meat is cut into convenieut sized pieces
and conveyed to immense seam-tighs
double cylinders capable of holding up
wards of fifty bullOcks at a time. In
seven hours, during which they are sub
iected to pressure of steam of 10 pounds
per square inch, the bones and meat are

The statz Debt.

The following expression Of views in
regard to the State debt is from the
Lebanon KeraLd:
The proposition of the Nav York
holders of Tennesses bonds to compro-
mise the debt upon the basis of sixty
cents on the dollar, which will engage
the attention Of the Legislature ct the
session to be called especially for its con.
sideration, is q subject of momeatous i'm
portauce, not only to US but to our pros
perity; and it beLooves US to act eau
tiously, carefully and discreetIy, no only
that We may preserve our own homer uu-
furnished, but that we may leave no
heritage Of dishonor to those who shall
come after US The proposition to settle
our Indebtedness at sixty cents is one
which the State is amply able to meet,
and which should be promptly accepted.
1t is more than We could reasonably
have expected from the holders of our
bonds, and it seems plain to US that, if
We desire to pay our honest debts at all
We ought not to await or anticipate an
easier or fair mode of doing so.

About Proeperitz in the South


If there be Southern men who suppose
that prosperity will come to the South
as soon as Nichols is the recognized
Governor Of Louisiana, OF Pc roleum
V. Nasty is appointed Postmaster at
Confederate Y Roads, they are laboring
under delusion. Prosperity does not
come in that way. Instead of living
within their income, there are too many
able-bodied young men in the South who
are spending the income Of their fathers
The wealth of country is made up Of
it's productive labor. 1t can come in no
other way. Capital without labor is
worthless. 4 man with Lis Golfers flied
with gold would starye unless he could
buy bread, and bread only comes from
planting, aai tilIing and harvesting, etc
Now, the trouble in the Sou is, we
have not fully recovered from the effects
of false teaching given in the days Of
slavery, by which young men wero made
to believe all kinds of labor was degr ad-
ing The war closed and these young
men found themselves without slaves.
They were not able to live without
working, and they believed that work
was degrading. Hence, hundreds of
them became professional lOafeFs, and
have not, in the space of ten years,
earned enough to buy their boots and
hats
Iil7ness begots vice, and not q few
young men without incomes and too lazy
ard to proud to work for a living have
fr,qu ,nted bar-rooms, billiard halls,
bowling alleys, gambling saloons and
other places of amusement and dissipe-
ion, until they have gone down in the
social scale, AMI have lost respect for
themselves and foT their friends. In

7Ir railroads, cOngregated about depots
20 watch passenger trains arrive aud de-
part, and about the other places mention
e3 above. They are seedy in appearance
and appear to have lost all life and ali
energy.
If ali these men would come to the
correct concIu.ion, that no honest labor
is degrading, and resolve that Fl ON hence
forth thev would earn what they e 1t and
YEA. and something besides, we would
soon witness marked improvement IL

a Garden of Wonders.

That California is land of big things,
is now quite we'll known. One consci
entious correspondent of New England
papor, admitted that his constant habit
of seeing and handling the overgrown
prodigies of that fertile country, had u
tendency to make him tell "big stories"
But, perhaps, We are safe in believing the
following, from a recent writer "on the
ground, much as the sweet potato and
beet will stagger us.
Figs grow abundantly, if the trees are
planted, and as good as the best from the
Mediterranean. The crop IS continuous;
while some arc ripe others are just
forming, aRd others still, half or two
thirds grown.
To certain extent the same is true Of
oranges. l have seen ripe fruit on the
boughs, and green of all sizes also. Ia
garden which l visited, noticed,
among other things, the following: Dates.
pomegranates, lines, castor leans, Eng
l!sb walnuts, bananas, sweet potatoes,
lemons, sweet lemo2s from Central
America, China lemon. These were the
fruits and vegetables, all of which were
1ouTishing.
The plants were heliotropes, century
plant, myrtle, olea1der, datura, arborea,
and roses of numerous KIM Is, which
blOOmed from December to January.

a popular notion that after a young lady
had gone through = course At school
then she might fBi-h her education By

she Is done, and perhaps skstch imFossi-

so that either enc would answer for both.
Now it is well known that animals get

healthy men and women require years;
and the mind never ought to get through

A SAD story is related Of lady at a
party in London whose dress and form
were faultless. just before dinner an
sdmirer OF fered her a flower from his
button-hole, which she fastened to her
dress with pin. As they went down
TO dinner, the gentleman thought he
heard noise as though wind were es-
Gaping from a bellows. The lady had
soon lest he fair proportions, and the
tightly fitting dress was most baggy. 1t
appears that the latest fashion for thin
ladies' dresses is an air-tight lining blown
out to the proper size. The pin put to
keep the flower in had penetrated the
air-tigbt lining AMI caused great co.
Iapse.

HAYES POLICY.
Peace at the South and Equal
Rights the Proof of It's Sue

WASHINGTON, April 25-I1 is perfectly
understood here that the most important
test of the Presidents Southern policy
will not be the organization of the next
House of RepreseU tatives, but the degree
of quiet which Is maintained IN South
Carolina aud Louisiana. The President
has at no time felt much confidence IN
the ability Of bis friends to elect a Re-
publican Speaker de has believed that
if
HIS SOUTHERN POLICY
could have six or seven months trial be-
fore the meeting of Congress it might
meet with that approval which would in
sure the election of one of his RepubIi-
can friends. Ne has. adopted his South
ern policy because he believed it right
in principle and wise in practice and
without any understanding that the
Democrats should support any candidate
or measure he may propose. The cleo
tioD of Speaker will not, therefore, be
test of the success of his policy in any
respect. The only one which it will be
fair to apply as that already mentioned,
namely, the degree of quiet in the States
here disturbances have occurred,
II is reported here among Democrats
fh2t both Gov Nichols and Gov. Hamp-
tor will have the earnest assistance of
ali Democratic members of Congress
from their States. and of the prominent
ans Influential Democrats in each of
hose States will be sent through the in
rerior counties and parishes for the pur-
pose Of explaining to the whites the ex-
act situation and the pledges they have
given in connection with the relief they
have long sought and have now obtained
The Democrats here who have approved
the nag policy seems to see clearly that
it is ia every sence for the interest of
t3a South that the President shall be
fully vindicated, and that the South
would suffer greatly should his policy
fai'. On this account some very strong
Influences will be set to work ImInedi-
ateIy to control all disturbing white ele-
nents in these two States, and to i'm
press the people with the grave impor-
tanco to themselves of maintaining the
peace and CT observing all constitutional
provisions and laws concerning the
rights of citizenship.
