Perhaps diphtheria will in time arouse the

The questions of pu,e ar and q0Od aca-

no assured health without these, WIZ dis
it does IN our cities and towns is to be won
dered at, and not that so many people die
under the circumstances. There is an al
most general disregard of the plainest laws
OF health: People expect a town to be
healthy with the air fairly ladened, thor
oughly impregnated, with the most life-de-
stroying ~effluyia and noxious gases rising
night and day from sinks scattered all over
the place. They expect health to be pre-
served when they are constantly drinking
water that Is more or less poisoned by the
drainage OF sinks that finds its way through
porous soil to the wells whence the water
comes"
And yet it always raises an howl from the
property owners to discuss these subjects.

Prof. Cain says
II typhoid fever, dlphtherla and certain

a disgrace to the communities which are af-

monstrated, in numerous cases, that the
ravages of the above epidemics were in d.
rect proportion to the f~oulness OF the locali-
ty. Thus In one city diphtheria followed
the line OF bad sewers, in another of bad

OLD MAIDs.-A sensible writer expresses
his opinion of old maids in the following
manner: Il am inclined to think that many
of the ~satirical aspersions cast upon old
maids tell more to he'll credit thanis general
~ imagined. Is a young woman remarkably
neat in her person, she will certainly be an
Old maid. Is she perfectly reserved towards
the other sex, she has all the squeamishness
OF an old maid. Is she frugalin her expenses
and exact IN her domestic concerns, she is
cut out for an old maid. If she is kindly
humane to the auimals about her, nothing
can save herf rom the appellation of an old
maid. In short, | have always found that
neatness, modesty, economy AMI humanity,
are the never-failing characteristics of that
terrible creature-the old maid.
at is no doubt a terrible thing to be an old
maid, but SO long as men drink rum, chew
tobacco, smoke cigars and act ike beasts
and fools, 1t Is not the worst thing that can
happen to a decent woman. Indeed, we
should not have to hunt very far to find
plenty OF women who are not old maids, but
who would give all their boots and shoes if
they were; and who in bitterness and sorrow
lament the day when they suffered the yoke
to be placed upon their necks, which is
previous and hard to be borne.
Marriage is honorable in all, but if it is
honorable it should be honored, and those
who make it a burden and curse and calam-
ity, need not wonder that intelligent and
conslderate women fear to the risks it in
wolves.

OUR GREAT LEADER.-In a casual way
we earned recently that Col. Wharton
Green, of Warrenton, had in mind to deliver
an address, or addresses, at several points in
the State, IN aid Of North Cardinals
quota Of The Lee Memorial Fund. At
present our credit for liberality and a proper
respect for the memory OF the great chief
tain who SO often singled out the Carolina
grey-coata for special praise, is alta discount,
in comparison with almost any other OF the
States; some Of whom have given hundreds,
if not thousands, where We have given tens.
Indeed, we believe but for Col. Green's own
contribution, with possibly one or two others,
the State would show a blank in the list.
This ought not be. When old "Uncle Rob
ort" said amid the heat Of battlefield
Bless North Carolaa.' he meant it from
his heart; and when be permitted his sweet
young daughter, the tenderest of his posses
sions, TO rest afar from her kindred, upon the
beautiful plains Of Warren, he gave anoth-
er uaostentatious, but to those who know
the family traits, unmistakable evidence Of
his high regard for this people. CD. Green
