Weadtise all young people to 'acquire'in
early life the habit Of using good language,
both in speaking and writing, and also to
abandon the use Of slang words and phrases.
The longer they live the more difficult the
acquisition of good language will be; and
if the golden age of youth, the proper
time of the acquisition of language, be
passed in It's abuse, the unfortunate victim
Of neglected education is very probably
doomed to talk slang for life. Money is
not necessary to procure this education.
Every man has it in his power. He has
merely to use the language which he reads,
instead of the slang which he hears; to
form his taste from the best speakers and
poets of the country; to treasure up choice
phrases in his memory, and habituate him
self to their use, avoiding at the same time
that pedantic precision and bombast, which
show rather the weakness Of vain ambition
than the polish IF an educated mind.

LOUIS MIasVA,ULT.

Recently there died at Ronsoy, France, a
man Of strange eventful history, Louis
Mirvault by name. Born in 1774, he had
lived during the reigns of Louis XIV. and
XVI, the Directory the Empire, the two
restorations the second Empire, and the
third Republic. He went through the
American revolutionary war with Lafayette,
and subsequently fell into the hands of
Indians, in consequence of shipwreck,
but was saved through the instrumentality
of negro woman. He shipped on board
an English ship as an American, but was
discovered to be Frenchman, and his life
was in jeopardy, when one day he began
playing ON fiddle, on which he was pro-
fcient, and so charmed the Captain that
he took him into high favor, Under Louis
XVIII. he was employed " the Govern
ment, and after the revolution of 1880 was
engaged in the management of the Mar
quis of yaudreuil's property in Picardy,
and so won the confidence of the
Marchioness that she made him her heir.

being also examined, the point thereof ap-
lpeared above quarter of an inch In
breadth; not round nor fat, but irregular
and unequal; and the surface, though ex-
'trenely smooth and bright to the naked
eye, seemed full Of roughness, holes and
scratches. In short, it resembled an iron

Of took place in Tuscaloosa recently.
The groom and bride were Mr.. David l..

ceremony was performed by Rev. John
Brown, and hereception was given by Mr..

brown eyes and was attired in brown trous-

dressed in brown suit. Altogether, the
occasion was o brown affair, and the

FEMALE EMIGRATION AND WHAT
CAME OE 1t.

1t is occasionally pleasant to recall
events of the past which, when they
transpired, excited a general interest," es-
pecially when the results can be traced
or their present influences recognized. To
those who remember the enterprise of
Colonel Mercer twelve years ago in Or
ganizing a ship-load of female emigrants
from the East to Puget Sound, it will be
of interest to learn the destiny of the
hundred and fifty unprotected females
who, with yandbox in hand, sought
homes and husbands on the Pacific Coast.
The project of Colonel Mercer to find
places for small portion of the surplus
females by restoring the equilibrium of
the sexes between the East and the
West was very generally discussed at the
time it was started. The prevailing
opinion was unfavorable to the scheme.
The motives of the protector and the
assumed character of the emigrants were
regarded with suspicion and treated with
ridicule. 1t was thought that only the
NlOSt lCEhleso anu IAptlhCIlllCo LclAdNo
would voluntarily isolate themselves
from civilized surroundings for the rough
chances of frontier life.
From letter we have before us, dated
Portland, Oregon, March 21st, it would
appear otherwise. The emigrants were
avery fair average of that class of Amer
ican women of whom we still have many
who are not too proud to accept any hon
orable calling, but who find themselves
overlooked in the matrimonial
market, and subject to a
very precarious livelihood. This
hundred and fifty packages of femininity
became tired of waiting to be "called
for" like parcel of goods at an express
office, and wisely sought market where
the demand for a fair article was in ex,
cess of the supply. The result bears tes-
timony that their choice was wise one
Many of them very soon formed matri-
mo4ial alliances, and are now the wives
