&IEEI.S1 AND ROYS.o

There are two kinds of girls. One is the
kind which appears best abroad-the girls
who are good for parties. rides, visits, balls,
etc. and whose chief rde!ightisi in such things.
The other ia that kind which aprcars best
at home-the girls who are useful and
cheerful in the cook and dining rooms and
sick chamber, and all the precincts at home.
These differ widely in character. One is IA
moth, consuming everything about her the
other is a sunbeam, inspiring life and glad
ness all along her pathway. 1t is not your
neat dress, YOUR extensive shawl, or your
pretty fingers that attract the attention Of
men of sense. They look beyond, these.

THINGS 20 BE AVOIDED.

Manners and behavior are not more easi
ly caught than opinions and principles. No
man can be considered a gentleman-no
woman a lady, who avoids good manners.
a vulgar fellow is one who, when in com
pary of ladies, stares at them rudely, and
makes insulting remarks within their hear
ing. He steps on a gentleman's toes, and,
instead of, 81 beg your perdon," cries out,
"Hello! take care Of your toes" He runs
against lady, and instead of an apologet-
ic, Excuse me, madam" bursts into a
laugh and exclaims, "Golly! save the nee.
esl' His clothes are never on to suit him.
You will see his fingers in the sugar bowl,
and if asked to assist any one, he merely
asks, "Who made me your helpmate?" or
"Help yourself" Wishing to be fine, he
places his hat on one side Of his head, sticks
a long nine in his mouth, swears big oaths,
and squlrts tobocco juice. In walking, his
feet come on the floor like pair of fifty.
skies, shaking the whole house. Conclu-
sively, such fellow is constant source Of
annoyance to his friends and of ridicule to
everybody else. BETsEY JANE.

OF course, Tho Democratic nomination has
been the principal topic of conversation dur
ing tho week, and the result Of the convcn-
tion at Cincinnati has not created the surprise
that was exhibited at the result of the Chica'
go convention. The nomination of Hancock
and Williams is regarded as very good one
The Capital was much exercised a few days
ago with report that President Hayes had
met with a sudden death. Although It gained
considerable prevalence, no foundation for the

to have set the tongue of Madame Rumor in
motion.
Population is looking up in the District of
Columbia. The superintendent Of the census
announces that the number of inhabitants
will be about 10000. That is doing pretty
we'll, considering that the bulk of this num-
Der is dependent directly or indirectly upon
the government for support. Nearly all the
manual and monial labor is performed by the
blacks, who have driven white competition
entirely away, owing to the low rate OF wages
which they are willing to receive II costs
them very little to live, and they expend but
small amount upon clothing, and in num-
bers they are increasing daily. 1t seems as
though the emanclpated race regarded Wash
ington as the y ecca of their life pilgrimage,
and ii they commonly get there, their happi-
ness as well as fortunes are insured.

office. OF these, 9,97s are invalid pension:
and 2,32S are widows claims for pensions, Al
this rate it will be pretty hard to tell wher
their cases will be reached, although the
Commissioner is doing his best to push mat

upon exis .ence before his pension case is con-

Who Owns the Railroads?

Among the responses to the cir
cular of the New York Chamber of
Commerce, asking opinions as to
the mode of gaining equal rights
from railway companies, was a ring
ing letter from Hon. Jeremiah ).
Black, who says: eff railroad cor
porations have the unlimited power
which they claim, then all business
is at their mercy; agriculture, COM
meree, manufactures, must suf-
fer what they ohoose to inflict.
In the aggregate this amounts to
the most enormous, oppressive, and
unjust tax thatieyer was laid upon
the industry of any people. The
case you mention of 81 from New
York to Salt Lake, and only 50 so
to San Francesca, is perhaps not the
most unrighteous, but it as gross a
violation of legal principle as can
be conceived. If the railways be-
long to the people, then the rights
of all citizens, are precisely equal,
and all DETERMINATIONS are unlaw-
ful. The promotion OF commerce,
internal and foreign, and interests
of buyer and seller, the rights of
producer and consumer, the needs
OF the poor and the prosperity of
the rich, allcry aloud for some sys-

Is it not strictly within the scope Of
that authority when it makes q Law

charges2. If that would be not a
regulation of interstate commerce
what would be? The power being
conceded, an effectual mode OF

of, can easily be devised. Doubt
less you are right in the belief that

AGood Road Law.


That the present law is OF but
little account is generally conceded.
It is a very weak and lame affair,
and the incoming Legislature can
do nothing that will be OF more IN
terest to the people than to give
them a good road law that will make
the miserable highways throughout
the state passahle for wagons and
other vehicles. On this subject the
Hartsville Sentinel makes the fol-
lowing remarks:
About this time would it not bs
appropriate for some Of our state
exchanges to commence to recall
attention to the necessity OF an ab.
solutely new road law. The pres
ent law is not really in operation.
Grand juries all over the state will
not indict overseers who do not
keep their roads in good repair, and
it is not to be wondered at. The
Jurors are all, or nearly all, farmers,
and most OF them have in time been
overseers of roads. They know
with such miserable supplies OF
tools as there are on many roads 1t
would be impossible to make good
road. without they summoned the
neighborhood to send their hands
in for two or three days every week
for a wear. Even to suppose that
the overseer had plenty of tools, he
cannot get out of ten or twelve or
sixteen hands as much real work in
a day as two steady Irishmen used
to pick and shovel would do. The
men are not used to the work and
they cannot be organized, as an
overseer is not going TO order his
neighbors about like so many deck
hands on a steam boat. To have a
good road system it seems to US
that there must be an entirely new
start. A road tax might be levied
and the overseer give bond for its
collection in work or money. He
would then be able to command a
full days work and have it done as
he wanted, or send the hand away.
Something will have to be done
to make the road law q prac-
tical one and one that will be en-
forced. When the grand juries
will not find Indictments under a
law that is not being complied with
it is evidently inope alive"

To invoice two stocks of goods and
