OUR GIRLS.

The Philadelphia Times wants to save
the girls of that city, and administers
some wholesome advice to snips, who air
their clothes and independence on Chest
nut street. after dark, without male escort.
1t says:
1t ia all too easy for man to gain rec
ognition from one Of these careless girls.
He meets her casually upon the street,
going to school perhaps, or coming from
church, and little Irritation ripens into
acquaintance. Or, as is very common, a
party of young fellows start off to "meet
some girls, as the girls have already
started to meet the young men; one of
them recognize an acquaintance in a
group approaching, and they all stop to
gether under a lamp-post andaround of
introductions follow. The night is warm
and somebody suggests an ice; and so
the first false step is made. No serious
evil mao result from all this beyond the
vulgar associations, but even this is bad
enough. The girl has put herself on
terms of intimacy with lot OF young fel.
lows whom she knows nothing about eX~
cept that they are not the friends that
her parents would choose for her, there's
fore, not to be mentioned at home; she
has surrendered her dignity and part
of her conscience, and ifthe men be not
simply as idle and foolish as herself, she
has weakened her defense against them.
But this may not be the last of it. There
are "ice cream saloons" within easy ac~
cess from every popular thoroughfare
that are not simply ice cream saloons, and
a girl who has gone this far with cnance
acquaintance may too often be persuade
ed to let him choose her refreshment for
her. A very little wine or beer will turn
the head of young and inexperienced
girl, and the next and final peril to which
she is exposed we do not need to speci-
fly.
1t is not supposed that every child who
walks on the streets at night is going to
her ruin, but we do insist that ruin is the
natural and logical result of this most
reckless custom and that the fact that the
great majority of girls seem to escape
unharmed in no way relieves parent
from even the responsibility of guarding
his daughter from even the semblance Of
a possibility of danger, Certainly this
custom of parading on the streets at night
must be in every case ruinous to maiden
ly modesty and womanly dignity. 1t cam
not but promote vulgarity ofthought and
speech and maners. 1t subjects every
girl to insult, if not by word or act, at
least in the thought Of men who meet
her and who naturally will associate her
with those outcast women with whom
she has chosen to associate herself. 1t is
not pleasant to say these things of decent
American girls, but all that we have said
is true, and the girls themselves and their
fathers and mothers ought 10 understand

Jefferson became President, Duval was
Comptroller of the Treasury, and Giles
Senator. Meeting one day in Washing

and the Senator asked the Comptroller
if he knew what had become of that
cackling old maid, Jenny Gjbbon," She

reply. Giles did not attempt to mend
matters, as a certain Mr.. Tuberville unN

GEN. SAM. HoUsrON'sF FIRST WIFE.

The letter written by Col. Willoughby
Williams, of Nashville, has caused much
discussion here in Memphis, as to the
cause of separation of Gen. Houston and
his first wife. Both parties have friends
in this city, and Of course, both sides
have their version of the matter. Mr..
Asa Jarman, of Texas, has just compile

haps the true one. He says that Hous-

see, the beautiful Miss Lucy Dick erson,
not willingly, but under the pressure of
parental influences. She had been en-.
gagged to Mr. Robert NiCkerson, whom
she desired to marry, and when Nicker'
son returned to Nashville, her love for
him was az warm as ever. Houston be-
coming convinced that his wife was more
attached to her old lover than to himself
accused her accordingly. when, with
much womanly feeling, she confessed its
truth, and said she liked NickersOn's
little finger better than Houst)n's whole
body. Houston thereupon informed her
that she had better marry NickersOn,
and without a word to the public, he
abandoned his Gubernatorial Office, and
quietly left the State for the Indian seS
tlements.-MemphiS, Tenn, appeal.

COMMON, NOT UNCOMMON
SCHOOLS.

The time has come to rescue the com.
mon school system from those who would
divest it ofits original scope and charac>
ter, and gradually make it so expensive
and burdensome as to finally bring about
its downfall. A common school educa>
ton does not mean an un~Common edu.
cation. 1t does not mean smattering
of everything and thorough under
standing Of nothing. II does not mean
a fancy education but practical every
day education. 1t means that children
shall be taught MOrOnghH how to spell,
read and write. Also that they shall be
thoroughly grounded in arithmetic-not
only as to the theory, but as to the actual
practice. Also, that they shall be taught
geography grammar and history with as
much thoroughness as the time allotted
to the average scholar at school will per
nit. If along with these essential rudir
ments of education, children can be
taught to sing, as they are in most of the
schools. they certainly have all the range
of education they can properly appreci-
ate and assimilate up to the close of their
common scho oil career, and all that an
overtaxed public should be called on to
pay for. Whatsoever is more than these
cometh of evil.-Whssling Register.

support either party in the coming Con-
gressional campaign which shall give its
principles the most hearty support"

A Mlserly Millionaire.

Michael Reese, the California million
aire who recently died at Wailenstein,
Germany, was reputed to be the richest
Jew in the United States, and, with the
exception of Senator Sharon, the largest
real estate owner in California; he was
a great miser and very eccentric. He
brought $50, 600 to this country in 1885,
and for Is years was a noted Richmond
(Va.) STAKEHOLDER and Spectator, heavy
losses driving him to the Pacific coast in
1850. He saw what was to be Califor-
MAS future and invested his all in land,
which he would oddly sell at fancy prices,
and then the Immediately invest the pro-
ceeds in more land. Note and stock
brokerage helped to swell his growing
pile, which early gave him a millionaire's
reputation, and was increased by his
being among the first and very success
full bOnauza Spectators Mr.. Reese was
so mlserly that 10 crafty his enormous
appetite, when dining with a friend, he
would ask for the bread left on his friend 5
plate, to spare the expense Of ordering
more. The only time he was ever known
to treat any one was when he invited his
lawyer, Mr.. FELTON,, and six friends to a
sum PtuOuS ulHheI al restaurant against
whose keeper he could obtain judg-
ment in no other way. He replied one
day to a friend who tainted him with
his misery habits, Well, | can't help
it; | know it's foolish, but it's disease
Eve got" In matters not connected
with money, Mr.. Reese was a man intel
Hgence and liberal views, though he was
as afraid of women as old Mr.. Weller Of
vidders," especially after jury gave
San Francisco woman of doubtful repu-
tation 5000 in breach of promise case
against him. The millionaire left all or
nearly all his wealth to Jewish charities,
as is believed, his only known relatives
in this country being two wealthy sisters
in Chicago, Mrs. Resented and Mrs.
Rosenberg, and nephew Frank, a we'll
TODD st. Louis merchant.
