STRONG opposition is being mani
tested to Sargents bill proposing to
turn over the Life Saving service to
the Navy Department. Complaint
IS made that the bill was presented,
referred to the Committee on Naval
Affairs, and reported on the following
day, not giving the Treasury Depart
ment an opportunity Of being heard.
OF course the proceedings were en-
tirely too hasty, but it looks as though
that service properly belongs to the
Navy Department.

| FEMALE SocIEry. AL men who
avoid female society have dull percep-
tions, and are stupid, and have gross
tastes, and revolt against what is
pure. Your club-swaggerers, who
are sucking tie butts of billiard cues
all night, call female society insipid.
Poetry is uninspiring to . yokel;
beauty has no charms for blind man;
music does not please; poor beast
does not know one tune from anoth-
er; but as a true epicure hardly ever
tires of water, sauce, and brown bread
and butter. Iprotest | can sit for a
whole night talking to wellregulat-
ed, kindly woman, about her daugh-
ter Mary or her boy Frank, and make
the evenings entertainment. One of
the great benefits man may derive
from woman's society is, that he is
bound to be respectful to her. The
habit is of great good to your morals,
men, depend upon it. Our education
makes us the best eminently selfish
men in the world, and the greatest
benefit that comes to man from wo-
mans society is, that he has to think
of somebody to whom he is bound to
be constantly attentive and respectful.

The Mexican Border

Gen. Mcdowell has been Instructed to
institute vigilant watchfulness along the
southern border of Arizona and southern CAL
ifornia, to prevent violation of the neutrality
laws by Lerdo revolutionists, and to arrest any
and all parties who are suspected of congre-
eating on the border for that purpose. Gen.
Ord has notified the war department that he
has made such distribution of the force under
his command as will in his judgment with
the cooperation of other federal officials and
State officials, prevent any serious violation
of the neutrality laws. He has directed the
prompt arrest of all suspected persons who
may attempt to cross from the United States
into Mexico.

The late Commodore Hollins was once
sailing with an American commodore
who used often to insult his inferior Off

After such an insult had been offered to
him, Hollins was called TO the cabin of the
commodore, who said: s-s 81.

not have done, and now wish to apollo

three-fourths Of an average crop. The fruit
