Two KIND OF GIRLs.--Wherever we
60 we find two kind Of girls The kind
we would like TO have you pattern af-
ter are those that put on their best
looks and do their best deeds at home
girls that don't only have sweet
looks but know how to do nice things
girls that are at home at the wash tub
and in the kitchen as well as in the
paror. There is a large demand for
such girls and the world can never
have too many of them. IL is a greater
honor tc young lady to know how to
get up good meal and bake nice
bread and pies than to be able to play
the organ or piano The cravings Of
the stomach are stronger than those of
the ear, and unaccomplished indeed is
the girl that knows not how TO meet
and provide for their wants. Some
times men can take foolish fancy to
dolls, but they can buy them much
cheaper than marry them. Girls don't
make dolls of yourselves, but learn to
be useful as well as ornamental. The
other kind of girls we don't care to
say much about and we hope that
none of you will ever become one of
them. They are the girls that are
good for parties, know how TO dress
according to style, curl their hair and
powder thcirfaces, &c. They are good
for nothing. ut homo and become A

When he arrived in Texas no hired

worthless surface copper mining land

veyed, of which the Company now
holds an acre. Connected with this
Company were Admiral Porter, Capt
Pearson, of the. Navy, the Swedish,
Spanish, German and Peruvian Minis

entail and wealthy business men. Mr..
Chandler formerly District Attorney
of Virginia, and more recently Pen

allowed TO buy land warrants for it in
New York. Leaving Washington on
his return from Texas, he went TO
Chicago, where he established mining
bureau, and it is alleged that he cleared
through the sale of worthless mining
stock the sum of sl50,000. (This is

COLONEL J. p. SANFORD.

1t is almost needless for us to state
that Col. Sanford has won a more brill
liant reputation as lecturer than any
other man OF modern times. He is re-
nowned as great traveller and bu-
morist, and in his lectures amuses, enter
tains and instructs. He has lectured
over seven hundred nights in the last
three seasons, and as high as fifteen
nights in the same city. In his ex-
tensive travels he has crossed the AT.
lantic nineteen times, and eaten his
bread in every Kingdom on .he face Of
the earth. We have engaged him for
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, and
feel satisfied that all who hear his first
lecture cannot be induced TO remain
away on tho evening OF the second.

LUMBER PHRASES.


That technical writer, Mr.. Richard
Grant White, in the Atlantic Monthly
for November, gives an article cn "As
sorted Americanisms," in which be
speaks Of the use of the word lumber
as perversion Of tho English word
timber, and that this perversion has
almost driven the word timber out Of
use. Tho Northeastern Lumberman,
published at Chicago, takes exception
to Mr.. Whites criticism and declares
that he is mistaken. Timber is still in
general use among umbermcn, and is
applied 20 standing trees, 10 squared
sticks, either sawed or hewcd, and TO
the heavier pieces of wood, whether
squared or not, used in the construc.

word dotage, which expresses precisely
the same idea as to the physical or

"brash" is another clear case OF per.
