Plain Truths for the South.

With the experience that we have
had We do not look with confidence to
the utility of any further sentimental
lOngingS for sectional reconciliation,
The South" must learn first and thor
oughly that it is the minority section /;
that there is equality of States, but
not of sections; that all claims based
upon the theory that THE South" is
One-half of the National whole are un-
sound; that if the South asserts itself
as unit through disregard of the con
stitutional compact, it must be over
come by the North as unit; that the
Southern cloud of sectiOnalism must
be dispersed by constant proof Of its
uuprolitableness to the Southern peO-
pie; while the deprivation of the
Southern blacks Of the free right of
suffrage, in violation of the treaty of
peace between the United States the
COnfederacy I'VE mean the amendments
of the Constitution following the war
can only be answered by the defeat in
the next Presidential election of the
party that has realized power from the
use of shotgun and the stuffed ballot
box in securing Democratic Congress.

Women in the Olden Time.

From the subversion Of the Roman
Empire to the fourteenth or fifteenth
century, women spent most of their
time alone, almost entire strangers to
the JOYS of social life; they seldom
went abroad, but TO spectators of such
public diversions and amusements as
the fashions Of the times cOuntenan-
ced. Francis [ was the first who in
trOduced women on public days to
Court; before his time nothing was to
be seen at any of the Courts of Europe.
but gTay-bearded politicians, plotting
the destruction of the rights and liber-
ties of mankind, and warriors clad in
complete armor, ready 10 put their
plots in execution. In the thir-
teenth and fourteenth centuries
elegance had scarcely any eXis-
tence, and even cleanliness was hardly
considered as laudable. The use of
linen was not known; and the most
delicate of the fair sex wore wOOlen
shirts. In Paris they had meat only
three times 4 week; and 100 livreS
about e5), was large portion for 4
young lady. The better sort of citi-
Zens used splinters Of wood and
rags dipped in oil, instead Of
candles, which, in those days,
were rarity hardly 10 be met
with. Wine was only TO be had at the
shops of the apOthecaries, where it was
sold rs cordial; and to ride in two
wheeled cart, along the dirty, rugged
streets, was reckOned a grandeur of SO
enviable a nature, that Philip the Fair
prohibited the wives of citizens from
enjoying it. In the time of Henry
Viii, of England, the peers of the
realm carried their wives behind them
on horseback when they went to Lon
don: and in the same manner took
them back 10 their country-seats, with
hoods of waXed linen over their heads,
and wrapped in mantles Of cloth 10

Going SnaekS.

Not long ago, in Il neighbOring city.
as butcher stood ut his stall selling
meat, he saw man stOOp down and
pick something up.
"W hat have You got there? asked
the butcher.
The fellow said: III looks like
money"
On examination. il proved ~ be- u
ten-dOllar bill.
Il suppose, said the butcher, III Is
one | dropped when making change =
little while ago"
To which the finder replied:
Il think ! ought To have One-half ;
for, had it not been for me, You would
not have seen it again
The butcher, knowing that IL MAS
not his bill, thought he couldn't do less
than to comply with the fellows re-
quest; he therefore took a iive-dOllar
bill ont of his pOcket-bOOk, and gave il
to him, taking the ten himself. soon
afterwards the butcher was purchaS-
ing some goods in a store, and offered
the bill in payment To the store
keeper, who pronounced il counterfeit.
The butcher was surprised, and not
OYer-well pleased; but on considering.
thought the best thing he could do
would be 10 stow the ten dollar note
away in a safe place. and say nothing
about the way in which hc had over
reached himself.

HiStOry's Verdict on Tilden.

The exposure of Tilden'S set of burg
lars and bribers By the New York
Tribune puts in q ridiculous attitude
all the crew Of cheap newspapers, and
their insOlence recOils in burlesque.
Here is their great defrauded taken in
the miserable act of buying the Presi-
dency as he would horse. He runs
of his books BY a system of kidnap-
ping, brings up his YirtuOus and be-
loved nephew In lagos pattern, cheats
the nation he would rule out of its
taxes, and haggles over his abundant
plunder upon the rate of $4,000 for
the Presidency-"half on" To right

on his visit to New York, with the hos
pitality of his portrait placarded

that Tilden has all along paid for this
work; his cOwardice, and at this in
stant his house is Oyerrun with impe-
cuniOus newspaper adventures solicit
ing his subsidy, and deriding him be
hind his back. The verdict of Ameri-
can history will be that neither BY the
election nor by qualifications was Mr..
Tilden ever our President. The cam
paign he made was begun in blood and
murder, pursued by bribery and sub
sidy, concluded in exposure and shame,
and neither Mr.. Tilden nor the Demo

another Musical Prodigy.

Master Milo Benedict, little boy Of
about ten years of age, residing in
Cornwall, Vt. is creating considerable
interest and admiration among the
people Of that neighbOrhOOd and the
northern part of the State. on account
of his wonderful musical talent This
child, who has had little OF no musical
instruction, performs on the piano his
own compositions, which are Of
great beauty and difficulty, with
apparent ease. At three years of
age be was delighted when he heard
chords PLAYED on the piano, and soon
initiated them and commenced TO i'm

Since then he has continued to imprO-

Female Clerks.

The first female clerks in the Nj

by Secretary Chase. who placed them
in the office of the Controller Of the
Currency at $500 a wear. They cut and
trimmed the United states notes issued
in sheets, and did their work very we'll
As soon as they had been appointed
there were many other applicants, and
their number steadily increased, many
of them securing places through the
peculiar energy and perseverance
which will refuse to take no for an an
SWer. There are now more than 1900
women in the departments at Wash
inGtOn, the majority employed in the
Bureau Of Engraving and Printing in
the Government printing office. They
excel as counters, their slender SenSi-
tive fingers turning notes with great
rapidity and eXactnesS. They detect
cOUnterfeits, it is said. quicker than
men, though they do not succeed so
well in accounts, as the average femi-
nine mind has little natural love of
figures. Counters and cOpyiSts receive
5000 wear; other women $1,000 tn
81, 400, several of them $1,000, and one
in the Internal Revenue $500. Most
of the clerks are we'll educated and re-

The Young Man In Photograph.

Did You ever notice how little char
acter young mans face expresses as a
general thing, anyhow? Did YOU ever
notice the photographs of young men !:
Go into any gallery and look at them,
and all the cOnceit there is in a Young
mans nature and being, shines forth
in his photograph. He can't help it.
He NAV not be very cOnCeited, natural
", but when he sits for his photo
graph, To save his never diving soul he
can't help thinking about himself, and
how he is going to look. and so, modest
and retiring as he may be in his actual
life, he sits there and thinks about
himself all the time, and then, the
picture is cOmpleted-self, self,
self, is the only character stamped
on the face. | don't make
this depression for the purpose of
being hard on the BOYS. Bless their
manly hearts, no. But Just happened
to think Of il. This is the reason an
old mans portrait is always more
natural than young mans. The old
fellow is out of the market and he
doesn't care how he looks. His hair is
tossed about, and that has a finer ar
tistic effect than a youthful scalp that
is plaStered down until il shines like
billiard ball. If the old man is wOr-
ried he looks worried: if he is as mad
as a hornet he looks cross; if he is
pleased the lurking smile around the
corners of his mouth shows il. And
then, too, the rounded fullness of the
young mans face is gone, and lines
and angles give play to the light and
shadows on his face, and the marks of
character make a mans portrait at
fifty look manly and dignified and
noble, when at twenty-three il only
looked pretty" J. RUrdstte. in
