WHAT ONE WHO KNOWS ALL ABOUT iir
!. HAS TO SAY. e.-,g, =
Much has been said against flirting
in general; and against female alfta
in particular. Indeed the; 'ihala'ijirt
is passed over most often, without
any blame being attached to him at
all the bulden of the small vice fall
ing on tlief shoulders Of the Trailer
fair one. Now We intend excuIssing
the girls, who though guilty, are less
blamable, and astonishing the boys,
who are all endowed with wonderful
self-appreciation, and information OH
all subjects, save good ones. Won
derful selfappreciation we say, for
when the outside word searches for
the cause Of SO much esteem, it is
often not Gndable, or if brought 10
light, see we it through "a glass, dark:
ly. Girls as 2 rule, before com.
mencing Irritation comprehend bet
ter than imagined the mental calibre
Of their selected victim. The choice
very often, indeed generally isra
youth on the green side of twenty.
though occasionally mans majority
has weakening influence, and. meets,
and leaves him, witl less than the
common, amount Of sense bestowed
upon humanity. Over aged male
liirts are Of this stamp. The verdant
youth, wise in his own conceit, proud
Of his budding mustache, is OF such
deep learning, and great fesearch,'
that if asked what Cesar shid to Ma.
poleon at the Pass of Thefmopylh,
would grasp at his almost forgo,tef
skimmercd recoliecti6ns Of History,
and shout trinmphantly, "Veni, Vidi,
Fici.' No doubt George @or Robert
imagines that their fne personal ap.
pearance attracts the attention of the
girls, for it is we'll known fact, that
the ugliest men are most conceited.
and that the fair tlirt either on the
promenade, or at the window bar, is
desperately smitten, when if the truth
were known, she is wondering why he
does not have part Of his ears taken
off; it would improve his appearance
so much. The intention of most Girls
who flirt is 10 kill time and have fun,
and If their true estimate of thc sim
perng fellow across the street were
known, it would be far from flatter->
ing, to tie self-iimagined lady-killer.
GIRLS however young, possess great
powers of discernment., They can
tell a:'a glance, the difference between
a man who commands respect, and
one who does not, Idiots have q
smile that betrays their weakness.
Brainless men possess the same.
Who ever saw true man flirting?
1t is very certain girls would never
indulge in such pastime with their
own sex. All the spice would then
evnpornte. Young fellows, it is aii
your fault. Were you true to your
manhood, and would rise superior to
such pusillanimous amussments Shis'
unbecoming practise in both men and
women would cease, and you, the
more guilty perpetrators, because
you degrade your manhood, would, no
longer be classed rs the puppets of
the population.-Hom Circle.

The Early Rising Delusion.

For farmers and those who live in
localities where people can retire at
eight or nine o'clock in the evening,
the old notion about early rising is
still appropriate But he who is
kept up tilE' ten or eleven or twelve
o'clock, and then fises ut I've or six i,
because OF the teachings of some old
ditty about "eaily to RISE" is com
hitting a sin against his own soul.
There is not one man in ten thousand
who can afford to do without seven
or eight hours sleep. All the stuff
written about great men who slept
only three or four hours q night, is
apocryphal. They have been put
npon such small allowances occasion
ally and prospered but no man ever
yet Kept healthy in body and mind
for Il humber Of years with less than
seven hours sleep. If you can get
to bed early, then rise early; If you
cannot get to bed till late, then rise
late. 1t may be rs proper for one
man TO rise at eight as it is for anoth.
CT 10 rise at five. Let the rousing
bell hc rung by at least thirty min
ntcs before your public appearance.
Physicians say that sudden jump out
of bed gives irregular motion to the
pulses. 1t takes hours to get over a
too sudden rising. 1t ie barbarous
to expect children to land on the
centre of the floor ut the call Of their
nurses, the thermometer below zero.
Give us time after you call us, to
roll over, gaze at the world full in the
face, and look before you leap.

In relation to the strike at the
Raymond City Mines, they may have
an inside view which we do not pos
sess, that should induce them to ad.
vance the price Of mining coal, just
now. Unless they have, we cannot
but draw the conclusion that there is
an organized movement all over the
country to advance the price of min
ing. If such be the case, then our
miners cannot be condemned; for if
the price of mining is increased 25
per cent. in all other quarters our
operators can afford to pay it here
But if the strike is local, and other
coal regions do not pay an increase,
then it only remains, as we can see
it, for the operators in this region to
close their mines until the market is
more favorable to them. There is
not, we believe, company in this
region which paid dividend the
past year. while some of them have
actually lost money. Under these
circumstances, can it be expected
that they will be able just now
to increase the wages while in other
regions they are canvassing the clos
ing of mines simply because the
market is over-stocked and coal is
selling below the cost of production?

Some Common Sense.

Under this head the Washington
Post INDUCES in some structures on
the conduct of the campaign in Ohio
that will strike the ordinary obsery-
err as we'll founded. II claims that,
so fur, the Democrats have failed to
'..'''..~-' ,.--.--,. :. ,;.,,,a
prominentin the campaign, but have
suffered themselves to be decoyed by
their opponents into an undue at
tention to questions already settled
and that are resurrected only for the
purpose ofdiverting public attention.
We say that his criticism of the
Democratic campaign is one that re
fleets the latent feeling of many who
have been watching the course of
events in Ohio, When Congress adj,
journed there was general feeling
that the issues between the Demo.
cratic and Republican parties had
been so well defined by the public de-
bates, and the position occupied by
the Democrats on all these questions
was so acceptable to the whole coun,
try, that the masses OF the people
needed only an opportunity to OK
press themselves to insure an endorse.
ment of the Democratic position.
This is as true now as it was then.
The people of Ohio will 50 demon
strate when these issues are properly
presented. Senator Thurman'sspeech
will do much toward Kidding the
brush out Of the campaign, and it is
true, as the Post says:
"The result in Ohio depends large
ly on whether the balance of the cam.
paign is conducted on the living
issues of the present, or on the dead
issues Of the past. 1t has been the
aim of nearly all the Republican
speakers, as well as the newspapers
Of that party, to hold the discussion
to questions that were practically set.

gress, and relegatcd thence to the
people.
Judge Thnrman's great speech
shows how the contest should have
been inaugurated, and the line on
which it should have been fought.
There is abundant time left before
the election to profit by his excellent
example. Let the dead past bury its
dead. There are questionsin the liv-
ing present, on the solution of which
the future Of the Republic depends.
The success Of the theories advocated
by the Radicals would utterly destroy
the system of government devised by
the fathers, and set up on its ruins
centralized despotism, bearing no
more relation to the government of
the Constitution than the Russian
system bears to that of Great Britain,
or liberty to tyranny"
