SIGNIFICANCE of PERSONAL BEAUTY

A beautiful person is the natural form
Of beautiful soul. The mind builds
its own house. The soul takes prece-
dence of the body and shapes the body
to its own likeness. A vacant mind
takes all the meaning out of the fairest
face. A sensual disposition deforms the
handsomest features. A cold, selfish
heart shrivels and distorts the best looks.
A mean, groveling spirits takes all the
dignity out Of the figure and Ill the
character out OF the countenarcc. \
cherished hatred transforms the most
beautiful lineaments into m image of
ugliness. 1t is as impossible to preserve
good looks with brood Of bad passions
feeding on the blood, 4 set of low loves
tramping through the heart, and sell
fish, disdainful spirit enthroned in the
will, as to preserve the beauty Of an elc-
CANT mansion with litter of swine in
the basement, tribe Of gypsies in the
parlor, and owls and vulturcs in the up
per part. Badness and beauty will no
more keep company great while than
poison will consort with health, or an
elegant carving survive the furnace fire.
The experiment Of putting them together
has been tried for thousands Of years,
but with one unvarying result. There
is no sculptor like the mind. There is
nothing that so refines, polishes and en-
mobiles face and mien as the constant
presence of great thoughts. The man
who lives in the region Of ideas, moon
beams though they be, becomes idea
lized. There are noarts, no gymnastics,
no cosmestics which can contribute a
tithe so much to the dignity, the strength,
the ennobling Of mans looks as a great
purpose, high determination, a noble
principle, an unquenchable enthusiasm.
But more powerful still than any of these
as a beautifier of the person is the over
mastering purpose and pervading dis
position of kindness in the heart. AZ
fection is the organizing force in the
human constitution. Woman is faircr
than man because she has more affection
than man. LONELINESS is the outside of
love. Kindness, good will, prevailing
desire and determination to make others
happy, make the body temple of the
Holy Ghost. The soul that is full of
pure and generous affections fashions the
features into its own angelic likeness, as
the rose by inherent impulse grows in
grace and blossoms into loveliness which
art cannot equal.

sPoILrNe woMEN's NAMES

Many, If not majority, of the names
Of 500 or goo girls from the public
schools examined for admission to the
Normal college, give us the impression
that they belong to mere household pets
rather than to young women who are
approaching maturity, and who are en-
gagged in serious work. These girls APP
parently prefer the nick-names by which
they are known in the family circle and
to intimate friends, and therefore take
pains to adopt them in their signatures.
In so doing the public school girls are
not exceptional among our young wo-
men, for il is quite fashionable nowadays
for them to grow so enamored of their
nursery appellations that they cling to
Them as their fixed and proper names.
Theymay even be offended when they are
addressed by their proper names, which
they imagine less pretty than these pet
diminutives and some grave grown up
women will put Hattie or GusSic, Mamie
or Sallie on their cards as If they were
in pinafores still.
The fashion is American but our
patriotism cannot make us grow fond of
it. The nicknames which appear in so
large share of these public school girls
signatures would do very well for pets
at dog show. When they are used TO
express the afectionatc regard of near
friends and relatives they also may be
pretty and appropriate, but they look
very. silly in a formal signature, and
surely do not benefit the dignity of NO
manhood.
We find, for instance, among these
GOO names, scores OF MinnicS or Mamics
and only here and there a Mary,
much more euphonious and dignilicd
name. Jane is transformed usually into
Jennie, Caroline into Carrie, Ellen into
Ella, Elizabeth into Lizzie and Bessie,
Katharine into Katie, Martha into Mat
tie, Margaret into Maggie, Anne and
Anna into Annie, and Harriet into Hat
tie. Such absurd names as these appear
quite frequently: Chattie, Lidie, Millic,
rillie, Nettie, Bibbie, ,Aggic and Margic.
The great aim seems to be TO manu-
facture name which ends in ie, and in
accomplishing il the finest appclations
for women we have, names renowned in
poetry, and of sweet and mclodious
sound are, chopped up into childish di-
minutives. They convey al idea of pet
tiness, and do not belong to girls of dig
nifty and characteristics like those who
are going to the Normal college, as many
Of whom will have their living to earn.
And yet these girls think it is pretty to
be known by such pet names, and SO
discard, as ugly and old-fashioned, the
names by which they are christened.-
What would they think to see college
register which gave the young mems
names rs Jimmie, Billie, Bobbic, Tom
mie, Charlie, Sammic and Dickic.
This fasion is extending among wo-
men, and girls are even named with
nicknames only, as il they were always
to be nothing more than nursery pets.
And yet this is a period when women
are contending for higher consideration
as rational beings, and when the range
OF their occupations outside OF the do
nestle circle is constantly widening and
growing in importance.

HOW A sKILLFUL SWIMMER MAY
EASILY BE DROWNED.

We read frequently of the drowning
OF good swimmers, who suddenly sink
in the water without any apparent cause.
The common explanation Of such an ac-
cident is that the swimmer is seized with
cramp; but an English naval officer Of
fers different solution Of the phenome
non. He bases his theory on his own
experience. His ship was lying for a
long time of Alden Harbor, and it was
the practice for cricketing parties to
swim from the vessel to the shore every
evening, having their clothes sent in a
small boat. or course there was race
to see who would get to the beach first.
The writer in the course Of a sharp strug-
gle for the lead opened his mouth to
breathe, and some Of the spray flying
in the wind got into his throat and took
the passage down the trachea. al could
neither" he says, "get any breath in
nor any out, and I soon began to feel
was dying on the top Of the water
There must have been dozen men close
to me, but I could not speak much less
call to them. kept swimming on for the
shore. In about thirty secondsm my senses
began to leave me. Iceased swimming,
and, my legs went down, when luckily
for me they touched the bottom /; avio-
lent jump helped me to cough up a DROP
of water. I staggered on shore and fell
quite exhausted on the beach, much to
the surprise Of all the men with me-" II
is the opinion Of this gentleman that
many fatal accident to swimmers are due
simply to a drop of water in the windpipe
A conclusive proof that they are not due
to cramp is the fact that man rescuet
within two minutes Of sinking in thi'
mysterious manner is always found Il
be beyond all hope Of resuscitation.

HOW CAN A WOMAN TELL9

lie told me his love this morning,
With his dear hand clasping mine,
And he said, "God speed tho dawning
When, sweet, may call thee mine"
But my fond heart questioned softly,
Though loving him true and well,
Will his love outlive all changesl
All how can a woman tell!
When the years shall bring their trials,
And the cares and the pains outweigh
The joys in the little household,
As clouds might obscure the day,
Will the hand that has held mine fondly,
When maideniy Ills beieli,
AZ earnestly shield from sorrow?
All how can . woman tell?

Through my trsssss, one BY one -

As when, In aowery dell,

a Rold stand For Principle.

We clip the following from the
Memphis Avalanche, and record
our hearty concurrence in all that it
says. When the present national
contest is over, we desire nothing
better than to devote ourselves sing
ly to the cause of the debt-paying
party with James E. Bailey as our
standard bearer.
One of the boldest statsmen in
Tennesse is James E Bailey. With
a greater personal interest in the is
sue of this election than any man in
the state, he has stood manfully for
the right, regardless of the conse-
quences to himself. No compromise
with reputation in any form, has
been the keynote of all Mr.. Bailey's
speeches. The democratic repudia-
tion element may be strong enough
to defeat him for reelection to the
senate, but, like the great Henry
Clay, Mr.. Bailey would rather be
right than be president. For a
statesman so steadfast for sound
principles there must be a great fu-
lure. There will be but two parties
in Tennessee after 1880, repudia-
ton party and a debt-paying party.
Mr.. Bailey will naturally take his
place as one ofthe most conspicuous
leaders of the debt-paying party,
which is certain finally to rule in
this state. 1t seems a pity that
more ofthes state politicians, who re-
ally believe with Mr. Bailey, in an
honest payment of the public debt,
have not his boldness, Too many
seek to shirk the main issue by
miserable suhterfuges that deceive
no body. No measure of public pol
icy ever triumphed by its advocates
surrendering the vital point in con-
trOVersy to their advesaries. The
history of the state debt discussion
furnishes a conspicuous illustration
of the folly and stupidity of surren-
dering principle. Two years ago,
when the state credit men made
their first surrender to the ''submis-
siOnists," the repudiatOn party was
weak and powerless for mischief.
To day the repudiators boast that
they number a majority of the dem
ocratic party of the state. They are
at least sufficiently numerous to
bring defeat upon the demOcrS tic
party, unless those democrats who
have been misled by the ''submis-
sion" clap-trap return to the regular
organization and vote for John V.
Wright.

holders of mortgage bonds, credi-
tors of every kind, and of all and
every person or persons claiming an
interest in said companies or roads.
The court is further OF the opin-
ion that the said several companies
and other stockholders who have
consented to the DEGREES of sale as
aforesaid, were competent to con-
sent TO said DEGREES, and that upon
a sale being made under said DEGREES
either to the parties having the refu-
sal for Il given time as aforesaid,
other than the companies them
selves, or to other parties, the said
companies and their stockholders
will cease to have any furtherrights,
legal or equitable, in and to the
property, rights and franchises so
sold, and the said purchaser, other
than the company, will take the
road, property and franchises, free
from all claims whatsoever, ex-
cept those of the state, reserved
by the contract of sale, and the act
under the provisions OF which the
sale is made.
The court is further of opinion,
that upon the sale of any of the
franchises of either of said railroad
companies by the commissioners,
under the DEGREES in this cause, and
the provisions of said act of the 21st
December, 1870, all the rights, priv
ileges and immunities appertain-
ing to the franchise so sold under
its act of incorporation, and the
amendments thereto, and the gen.
eral improvement law of the state,
and acts amendatory thereof, shall
be transferred to and rest in such
purchase, and the purchaser shall
hold said franchise, subject to all
liens and liabilities, in favor of theai
state, as now provided by law,
against the railroad companies, so
far as may be necessary to secure
the purchase money aforesaid, and |
the other rights of the state under |
the DEGREES in this cause, and the |
said act of the legislature.
1t is therefore ordered, adiudged, |
and decreed accordingly, and that
the rights of the parties and fran
chises be adiudged and settled in
accordance with the opinions as
herein before expressed. Other mat
ters are reserved. H W
1t is further ordered that the costs
of this cause be paid out of the pro-
ceeds of the sale of the said several
roads.

Country VS.. rOwn.

Many people are allowing them
selves to indulge in prejudice and
bitter feelings toward their fellow
citizens because demagogues have
tried to arouse their passions to get
their votes. We ask every man
who finds himself indulging such
feelings to sit down and calmly
count over the causes of such griev-
ances, and see if every one is not a
fiction rather than a fact, The fact
is, country people and town people
are mutually dependent upon each
other, and their interests are COM
mon interest. If the country pros
pers, the town shares it; if the
town thrives, the country partici-
pates in the thrift. Nobody but a
low, designing depagogue will ever
try to array one of these classes, or
any other classes, against the other.
Fhe man who COMES AROUND to find
fault with one class of persons, and
singles out that class because they
are few in number and arrays Others
against them to further his own sell
Ash purposes Is unworthy the conf
dence of all the honest people,
