A Scene from the Seventh Regiment


The great fair Is over, and about $1O0, 900 has

tons for raising money, but really cannot say
that believe In them. They make young girls
bold and young men reckless For instance,
girls will go about among men they never saw
before and ask them to take chances in airing
cake or rattle; not only ask, but coax Them and
men thus importuned will spend more than they
can afford. l heard of one man who spent
$3.50 on raffeS alone. The spirit OF rivalry runs
high when there Is prize offered for the table,
or the lady who takes in the most money. On
the last night OF the fair an Illustration of this
feeling OF rivalry occurred that came near end
ing In f1sticun encounter. Dunlap sent up
case OF hats as present to the fair and two Or
der-boOks. The idea Of the Order-books was that
any one could buy an order on Dunlap for hat
redeemable at any time. The fair sold them for
the regular price and the maker allowed the
trade discount. To make the game more exciting
he offered prize of handsome lady's hat to the
lady who should get the most orders. Two ladies
were found to take hold at once. One backed out
book over to another young lady, transferring
the two orders she had taken with 1t. This made
the other lady very angry, and she called the

bis wife, and vowed that she should not be
euchred in that way, so he bought two orders of
her himself. This incensed the young man of
the young lady who held the other book, and he

band flew into passion, and swore that his wife
should win that hat. come what may, and he

head at this, and jumping upon the counter OF
his wifes booth, began to denounce the other
side. His friends dragged him down. Then he
seized a pen and Ink and wrote Off a check for
Sls4 and handed it to the cashier, which, being
rich man, he could well afford. The young man
was almost in despair. The young lady begged
him to stop; said that she didn't want the hat;
but his blood was up. He rushed into the supper
room, and found fifteen men whom he knew eat

young man didn't want to give up the fight, and
the fifteen men from the supper room cheered

in the morning, and the authorities tnterfered

Educating a Wife.

That the wives of the future may be an attrac-
tive, accomplished and serviceable race of wo-
men, is earnestly to be desired by all who be-
lieve in the value OF domestic lfe and it has yet
to be decided which is the system most favora-
bic for the development of these attributes. 50
unsatisfactory, in the opinion Of certain Supa-
rior gentlemen is the traditional mode of felni-
nine education, that one occasionally hears Of
their adopting the arduouS eXpedient of person.
ted wives even from childhood Having gained
the anticipatory and provisional consent OF the
parents OF his future bride, the scientific lover
applies himself to the task Of seeing that her
mind is properly cultivated. He holds periodical
conversations with her governesSes and mas
tiers, sends her books carefully annotated by
himself, encourages her to write him letters
which are little diScourseS on various themes
connected with the ethical, political and scienti-
flc progress OF mankind. AT last the day comes
when this era OF tutelage is to give place to a
regime OF courtSh1p. The young lady Is now
out" and Is heartily disguised with the proba-
tionary period TO which for years she has been
doomed. She recognizes In her mature swain a
mlddle-aged gentleman, whose name and whose
epistles have been the terrors OF her girlhood.
The IDEAS OF romance and attachment have dis
appeared altogether before the progress Of cul-
ture upon scientific principles; and one might as
readily persuade the young lady to fall in love
with the angular faced lecturer on mineralogy
as with the prudent Cerydon, who Is senior by
a decade and half. Or the result may be some
what different from this. The young lady may
accept the situation, as 1t Is indeed probable
she VIII do; and the gentleman will find him

more or less, manufactured according to his
order. But the nature of even this model OF
brides Is traversed by a vein OF devilry, and the
honeymoon Is not over before she has plainly
asserted her independence of the spouse who
has been her schOolmaSter. Or the experiences
OF the happy and ingenious husband may not
be exactly OF this kind. The immense majority
OF women are quite as much the Incarnation OF
the commonplace as Pope's celebrated couplst
would lead one to suppose. Perhaps as much
might be said OF men; but then, 1nasmuch as
men are accustomed to look to women for some
relief In the dull mOnotony OF existence femi-
nine commonplace Is more conspicuous than
masculine. Supposing the lady has proved as
docile as the gentleman could have wished,
what then? The husband finds in his wife a
washed out, pale, inanimate reflection Of him.
self. He sits opposite her at his table, and he
feels much as II he was looking in the glass and
gazing upon the mirrored image Of himself as
he was In those days when experience and fric-
ton with the world had taken none of the prig-
gishness out Of him. There may be some cases
In which this theory OF wife education Is not an
absolute and melancholy failure. But they are
q very small minority.

In connection With the project OF continuing
portion OF their salary to judges retired by age
or failure Of health, proposed by Mr.. Adams, at
the late meeting Of the Bar Association of this
state, 1t is suggested that such judges should be
required to act gratuitously as referees in cases
where they are agreed upon by parties or ap
pointed by the court This Is an excellent Sug-
gestion. In this way the public could to some
extent still avail themselves Of their learning
and experience, and there would seem to be
present qua pro quo for the pension. No doubt
such Judges would be much resorted to by
suitors In cases not compulsorily referable, and

CONFRONTING FELOsIEs.

1t is asserted at Washington by men
who pretend to know, that the South
Carolina Election cases will not be tried
at the present term of the United States
Circuit Court, and that arrangements
have been made by which they will be
dropped from the calendar in considera-
ton of the State authorities agreeing to
suspend further proceedings against ex-
Governor Chamberlain, ex-Representa-
tive Smalls, ex-Treasurer Cardozo and
other Republicans. This is pleasant
state of affairs for the public to contem-
plate. The United States authorities
allege that frauds were perpetrated at
the recent election in South Carolina by
the use of tissue ballots, whereby the
will of the majority was defeated. On
the other hand, the State authorities
charge Chamberlain & Co. with corrup-
ton, and plundering the State while in
office. Now the Republican Federal
authorities and the Democratic State
authorities enter into an agreement to
dismiss all the cases and quash the in
dictments against the ballot box stuff
ers on the one side, and the ex-State of
ticers on the other. If this is shown to
be the fact, the parties to she a, cee-
ment, both. Federal and State, ought to
be tried for compromising felonies.

The Greenbackers, or Nationals, who
are in hopeless and helpless minority
i'll Congress, have adopted various fl
nancial schemes, each and all of which
are calculated to make times better and
livelier, by making money plentier.
These plans have been embodied in
bills which they have been prevented
from introducing by the rules adopted
at the opening of the extra session.
These rules prohibited the introduction
of bills of a general character except on
Mondays, and to prevent the Green
hackers from introducing financial
measures on that day, the Democrats
and Republicans, who had been airing
their eloquence making campaign capt.
tai, and partisan speeches during five
days of the week, ''pooled their issues"
on Saturdays, and invariably adjourned
over Mondays The Greenbaekers justly
complained of this treatment, and have
at last succeeded in, getting the pro-
scriptve rules modified so that the
Banking and Currency, Ways and
Means, and Coinage Committees may
report bills at any time. The House of
Representatives has also decided to al
low the free introduction of bills ON
Mondays, and at present the Indications
are that number of financial measures
will be passed during the present
session.

\ French Surgeon has performed a
remarkable feat in the art of the trans
plantation of teeth. He extracted an
incisor projecting under the tongue) in
the lower jaw of young woman of 20,
and planted it in the upper jaw in place
OF a decayed tooth just removed. In a
few weeks the tooth was firmly fixed.
This successful experiment opens up a
new field for dentists.
