The Old.FashiOncd Girl.

fall upon any old-fashioned girl" He
once knew such girls, and sketches q
portrait of them as follows
She hourished thirty or forty years
ago. She was little girl until she
was 15
She used to help her mother wash the
dishes, and keep the kitchen tidy, and
she had an ambition to make pies SC
nicely that papa could not tell the diff
ference between them and mammals.
She could fry griddle-cakes at 10
years of age, and darn her stockings be.

She never said, 81 can't, :" don't

JAMES CARD, the British agricultural
writer declares that the English farmer
cannot hope for prosperity until the sale
and transfer of land is simplitied and
cheapened and incumbered and unwieldy
estates broken up and subdivided to
form numerous small properties. He
also recommends the abandonment OF
the unequal competition with America
in the wheat market, and the production
of articles which will not bear long stor-
age or carriage such us milk, fresh but
ter, early wheat, vegetables, hay, straw,
potatoes, sugar, beets, etc.

EVERY one is familiar with the charac-
teristics and appearance of the New
foundland dog. but few are aware that
it is popular mistake to suppose that
to secure good specimen of these noble
animals it is necessary to send To the
country from which they are named. In
point of fact, the pure breed is almost
extinct III Newfoundland, and there are
to be found there now i'll their stead n
race of mean-looking, shabby, cowardly,
thievish mongrels, the degenerate des-
pendants of Il once-noble race, and rs
different from them us the modern
Greeks from the heroic Greek OF Homer.
Neglect, ill-usage, starvation, and hard
work have wrought the change Rather
more than two years ago an effort was
made to introduce another breed, the
celebrated Leonberg dog, the finest i'll the
world, development of and a decided
improvement ON the original Newfound-
land. The breeder of this race is Count
Esseg, of Leonberg, Wurtumburg, and
hitherto his endeavors have been crowned
with success.

Miss NORWOOD, n lady in the Ameri-
can mission at Swallow, has given some
interesting particulars as to feet distor-
tion in China. This abominable oarbar-
ism is determined by locality rather than
by the rank and wealth of those who
practice it. 1t is vehemently opposed
by the "Hal1kas," and where people of
this province-who,h happily for Chinese
women, seem to have nomadic habits
settle it begins to disappear OF the
women attending the missionary schools
in Swallow, about 60 per cent. have their
feet bound. The binding does not take
place until after a child has learned to
walk. The pain is intense when the
process is performed in the case of an
adult. and n source of dreadful discom-
fort in any case, yet the desire to have
small feet is SO intense that girls will
slyly tighten their own bandages, in
spite Cd the pain. This qinding, the
Chinese themselves admit, often pro-
.duces, among other evils, blindness.

GOSSIP FOR THE LADIES.
How Ipe Owned Tn,

:" But tell me. dear" she said
And coaxingly the soft eyes shone,
Aud shyly dropped the modest head
Beside his own
"But tell nae, have you loved before:
Or one, or more?'
The eager, sparkling face
Was full of tender, trusting grace:
She did not fear his answer then.
Her king of men
But tell me, dear. the best and worst.
Or am first?r
He turned his eyes away;
Yet closer still her hand he pressed.
Nor answered yea nor nay:
blush confessed
All, in one burning word.
Unsaid, unheard.
Quick came burst of tears--
tempest from an April sky:
And then, " Forgive my doubts and fears"
He heard her sigh;
why should care what loves are past,
So mine at last ?"

A COMMITTEE of the Magistrates of
Kent, England. appointed to consider
the best means of checking drunken
ness, are of opinion that an inquiry il
absolutely needed into the scientific
adulteration of beer. They have reason
to believe that if beer he brewed solely
from malt and hops the amount of intox-
ication would be sensibly diminished.

THE classes III Yale College are divided
in four divisions according to scholar
ship, and the statistics i'll regard to the
use of tobacco in the Junior class were
recently taken. OF twenty-six III the
lowest division, all but four smoked !;
of twenty-seven i'll the third, all but
seven smoked of thirty-seven i'll the
second, eighteen smoked ; of forty i'll the
first, only ten smoked. Whether this
results from the fact that those who
smoke do not like to study, or that those
who study do not like to smoke, is not
entirely clear but the effect of smoking
on German scholarship is not usually re-
garded as so marked us this.

IT Is BRENTS AGAIN.

The Republican Convention at
Vancouver, on Wednesday, on the
first ballot, nominated Hon. Thos.
II. Brents for Delegate to Congress.
Mr.. Allen withdrew his name, it is
presumed under an arrangement by
which his supporters went for the
successful aspirant. This left but
two names before the convention,
viz: Hon. L. II. Brents and DIR. I
Il. Minor, of Port Townsend. The
vote stood: Brents, 62; Minor, %.
The latter Immediately moved to
make the nomination unanimous,
which was done.
Mr.. Brents was elected last time
by very large majority, and, his
active, sensible course as our Dele
gate will secure his election against
any man the Democrats may put up.
Other candidates have been nOmi-
mated, as follows: Brigadier Gen.
eral of w. 7. militia, Geo. w. Tib-
hetts, Of King Co.; Adju.ant Cen
eral, NJ. r. Hathaway, of Clarke Co;
Quartermaster General, r. G. o..
Brien, Of Thurston Co.; Commissary
General, A. X. Bush, Of Pacific Co
AS to Delegate, OF course we fee
disappointed in the failure Of Puge
Sound to secnre the nomination
But If the man is to be from eastern
Washington, we greatly prefer Mr.
Brents. The Seattle "Intelligencer'
says Of him very truthfully: "Ther'
is something about him that make
him warm friends, and that retain
them once made. He is a rustler o
the most active and efficient eharac
ter. Whoever is against him ha
got to be upy early, and be up long
aud late, to carry his point" Puge
Sound will undoubtedly roll up, q,
large majority for him as it did las
time.
Hon. Irving Ballard has agar
been nominated for Prosecuting At
% torney in this district, and Hon. N
Fl. Bloomfield in the second distric,
The nominee for Joint Councilman n
is Hon. S. w. Hovey, of Port Gam
Bile, and, for Joint Representative,

OUR WASHIN INGToN LETTER.

The Democrats of Washington
ratified last night. The display of
fireworks was quite imposing. Three
thousand dollars would hardly meet
the expense tor them. The mounted
men from Virginia were quite iea,
ture in the crowd, but when 1t be.
came known they were detachment
of the "Black horse Cavalry" OF
Virginia, thoughts Of Turner Ash
ley's raids, and of the fate of Baker,
of Winthrop and other martyrs on
the other side of the Potomac stirred
up strong feelings in Loyal breasts.
Their presence made men recall the
time when the "black horse" at.
tempted to wave the ''stars and bars"
over the Capitol. They failed then,
but were successful last night.
There were too many one.legged
and one-armed manned veterans
among the spectators to relish such
an unwise and reckless exhibition of
defiant treason.
| Nben Mr.. English, the Demo
cratic candidate for Vice President,
was clerk in the Treasury depart.
ment under the administration Of
James K. Polk, he was in the con-
slant habit of loaning money to
clerks and others at from three to
ten per cent. per month; or from
sc to 120 per cent. per annum; and
when he became a member Of Con-
gress he continued that practice OF
loaning money at usurious interest
in Washington. The business en-.
tered into thirty FIVE years ago OF
loaning money at such rates Of inter.
est as to double his gains in from
one to three years would seem to
have been successfully followed
through long life. @
John M. Langston, Minister to
Hayti, has arrived, and after spend.
ing few days visiting among his
friends, will devote two months to
delivering speeches to the colored
voters in various places throughout
the country. He. will speak in Mary.
land, Indiana, Ohio, and wherever
else his services are required.
Fred Douglas leaves for Indiana
on Monday 30th, to canvass the prin-
oipal towns of that State. His heart
is in the present struggle, believing
as he does that this is the great crisis
which will determine the future Of
the Colored race.
Early in December next the much
disputed question as TO the distribu.
tion Of the remainder Of the Geneva
Award fund will come up for Rnal
settlement in Congress. This sub
ject has occupied portion of Con.
gressional attention at every session
since 1874. The persons now claim
ing recognition aud payment are
those who suffered from loss of ships
not included in the law of 1874, and
who paid heavy war risks, or premi-
ums to the Insurance Companies.
The Insurance Companies, also claim
a portion Of the money, and they
have, in the past, worked hard to OBJ
tain Congressional legislation in
their favor. But the sentiment in
Congress seems to be against these
corporations who fattened upon the
necessities Of our commerce, and in
favor Of those whose devotion to the
flag, and their determination to
maintain its honor upon the high
seas, caused them the loss OF their
property by the Confederate cruisers.
