EVILS AMONG YOUNG MEN.

OF all the evils prevalent among young men,
we know Of none more blightng in its moral
effects than to speak lightly Of the virtues Of
woman. Nor is there anything In which young
men are so thoroughly mistaken as in the low
estimate they form OF the integrity Of women.-

ers and sisters. AS rule, no person who surren'
ders to this debasing habit is to be trusted with
an enterprise requiring integrity Of character
Plain words should be spoken on the subject, for
the evil Is general one and deep rooted. II
young men are sometimes thrown into the socie.

have no more right to measure all other women
by what they see Of these than they have to esti

izens by the developments Of crime in our police

chief happiness in life depends on utter faith in
women. No worldly wisdom, no misanthropic
philosophy, no generalization can weaken truth.
It stands like the record Of itself-for 1t is moth

Of women.

UP A THURMAN BOOM.

The friends of Senator Thurman here
have evidently made up their minds
that in the rapid changes of the political
kaleidoscope there will be chance to
start a reaction that will!again bring that
venerable Achilles of the Democratic
party to the front. After many informal
consultations as to the best point at
which to break ground, it is stated that
the Pacific coast has been selected and
in California Mr.. Thurman's name is
already being discussed as the Presiden-
tial candidate for the Workingmen's
party. 1t is claimed by those interested
in this new boom that it car, be made as
plain as MONDAY to the agricultural in
terests of the great West that Senator
Thurman's defeat was the result of his
efforts to give the people of that section
deliveranCe from the railway despotisms
that have fattened and grown great
through their systemized extortions
from the grain growers of the West; that
it can be shown that the great trunk
lines pooled their issues and spent money
with a lavish hand to crush what they
rightfully considered as a movement
that would surely result in breaking
down their power in controlling legisla-
tion to perpetuate their reign OF plunder,
1t is also stated that at an early day
steps will be taken to inaugurate this
boom in the States east of the Rocky
Mountains and in the Mississippi valley,
when those who have set down Senator
Thurman as factor of but little import
anCe in the political struggle of next
year will have their convictions seriously
shaken Washington Special to 81. Louis

TRUTHFUL WORDS.

The longer live. says Sir Powell Buxton, the
more am certain that the great difference In men
between the great and the Insignificant, isenergy'
invInclble determination, an honest purpose once
formed, and then death or victory. This quality
will do anything In the world, and no talents, no
circumstances will make two,legged creature a
man without It. The very reputation Of being
strong-wllled, plucky and indeiatigable, Is Of
priceless value. 1t often cows enemies, and dis
pes ct the start opposition 10 ones undertakings
which would otherwise be- formidable.

A PRov1DENT1AL ARRANGEMENT

The reason girl cannot throw a stone Is dis
cussed In an American weekly. The collar bone,
some inches longer, is set some degrees lower
down than in the masculine frame, which inter.
feres with the action of the shOulder-the reason
she cannot throw. The paper arrives at the con-
cluson that this is a providential arrangement

A SLAVE SAVED BY A BANK NOTE

A Paris curiosity collector has in his
possession a bank note with a strange
story. Sixty-one years ago Liverpool
cashier while holding the note to the
light to test its genuineness, noticed some
faint red marks upon it, which on closer
examination proved to be semi. effaced
words scrawled in blood between the
printed lines and upon the blank margin
of the note. With a good deal of trouble
the following sentence was made out:
"If this note should fall into the hands
of John Dean, of Long Hill, near Carlisle,
he will learn thereby that bis brother is
languishing prisoner in Algiers." Mr..
Dean was promptly communicated with
by the holder of the note, and he APP
pealed to the Government Of the day for
assistance in his endeaVor to obtain his
brothers. release from captivity. The
prisoner, who, as itsubsequently appear
ed, had traced the above sentence upon
the note with splinter of wood dipped
in his own blood, had been slave to the
Dey of Algiers for eleven years when his
writing first attracted attention. His
family and friends had long believed him
dead. Eventually his brother, with the
aid of the British authorities in the Med.
iterranean, succeeded in ransoming him
from the Day and brought him home to
England.

DIVIDE THEM

The Boston Herald says: The
Southern States will never grow
great and strong till the plantation
system is exchanged for the North
ern system of small farms. The
prosperous hill parishes of Louis
lana, farmed by white men, show
the advantages of little farms well
titled over huge aud half cultivated
plantations. Perhaps the examples
offered by the State of Maryland are
even more likely to arrest the atten>
iion of intelligent Southerners.-
There are counties in Maryland
which after the war were burdened
with debt and an industrial system
which is only paralleled in some Of
the Gulf States. 10 process of time
circumstances compelled the division
of the plantations into farms. and
the result has been a wonderful in-
crease of wealth, a general liquida>
ton of debt, and gratifying social
improvement.
