W0men's Pockets.

One of those most popular journals
which are the organs Of feminine cloth
ing has recently begun to agitate with
much earnestnets and eloquence in be-
half of. the rights Of women to have
and enjoy pcckets-exclus;ve Of over
coat pockets-woman has either one
solitary pocket or none at all. The
withholding Of pockets from women has
undoubtedly had its origin in the tact
that among girls Of tender years there
has been no apparent desire for pockets.
The boy is eminently string consuming
animal. In his sports and occupation
he has constant need of strings, and
hence he is properly provided with a
pocket IN which to carry kite strings,
shoe strings, top strings and general
strings. The girl never uses string in
any form, and therefore does not feel
the need of a pocket. As the boy
grows to be a man his pockets increase
and expand with constant use, so that
he is finally able 70 use ten or fifteen all
OF once. The girl, on the other hand,
growing up without pockets, reaches wo-
manhood without them. and as much as
she may then desire pockets, custom is
then against the gratihcation Of her de-
sire. The one pocket with which
occasional woman is provided, and in
which she carries her keys, her handkex-
chief, her smelling salts, her pin cushion
and a quantity Of miscellaneous articles,
is nothing more than make shift 1t
has no precise locality prescribed for it.
Its owner, although she knows that she
has a pocket somewhere beneath her
skirt, can seldom find it without pro-
longcd and irritating search. To some
women direct access to the pocket by
means of a slit in the dress is denied,
and in such case woman who wants to
get at thimble is compelled to seek
the isolation of corner of a room,
where she goes through mysterious and
protracted process by which her pocket
Is finally reached and exhumed. 1t is
obvious that this inconvenient substitute
for the free and open pocket of the male
sex, is by no means sufficient to satisfy
the deep wants of the feminine nature,
and that its existence is no answer to
the complaint that women are virtually
pocketless. There is not only no reason
why women should be deprived of peck
cts, but there is abundant reason why
her pockets shouli be even larger and
more numerous than those of man.
Nature seems to have designed her to
blossom into innumerable pockets. A
mans clothing, with the solitary excep'
ton of his coat tails, fits closely to his
person, and affords no room for really
capaciouspockets. The skirts Of women
may, however, hang with pockets with
in and without, and the capacity Of each
one may be three fold that Of the larg-
est pants or coat pocket. In the con-
oealed pocket she might carry weeks
supply of clothing and hair pins, and
the visible pocket might be put to uses
of which the masculine pocket is totally
incapable Woman is undoubtedly
made to be a pocket wearing person.
Now that she has awakened to the fact
that she is unreasonably deprived of
pockets, lie. US nope that she will insist
upon her rights, and in a short time a
woman without pockets will become as
rare as pocketless man.

The Revolving Bottle!

Last Saturday was very rainy, disa-
greeable day. The Prohibition Conven-
ton was held in town, and some men
were in town who were not Prohibition
lists. All men are not alike in their hab-
it's of life, and while the Prohibitionist
finds finds sufficient warmth in his clear
conscience, and the business of his cause,
those four men who were in the vacant
lot near Steele's wareroom, back of the
Commercial Block, about half-past four
o'clock, needed "suthin' strong" to warm
the inner man. Perhaps a sillier picture
was never viewed by mortal. Here were
four young men-neither of them sober
one of them passing bottle "'round-and-
round" and urging the others to swill,
and still further muddle their empty
heads. Poor fools! Poor fools! While
this little scene was transpiring, the view
from the front of the Commercial Block
was different. For all was decorum itself
on the street, and the Mayor and police
were moving carelessly about, ready to
gobble up all such luckless simpletons as
the fellows who were making the bottle
revolve SO rapidly in the back yard.

"The Colored Troops Fought Nobly."

The C0iored Troops Fought NobIy"'
"Pig-tail Alley" is a famous, or rather
Infamous, place, reaching from Broad
way street, at the Grafton Block, to Ports
mouth street, at Roderick's store. On
Saturday evening, squad of boys among
whom were couple of colored boys,
were exchanging few pleasantries with
a promising young gentleman of Demo
cratic proclivities from Franklin town
ship. We give the story as we gathered
it from the crowd. The young man
seemed to fall into the error that he could
"whip any niger in Jackson" or some
thing of that kind. While laboring under
this delusion he got out of his buggy, and
came plump against the fist of a little
colored boy, and got a sudden back-set.
This repulse was followed by charge
by the colored troops, under command of
General Shots. The young man who
could "whip any Niger" etc., didn't like
the looks of things. But the colored
troops were SO thick he couldn't even run
not to say anything about the division
of re-inforcements coming up. The first
brigade Corporation guards succeeded in
corralling the belligerant forces, and
marching them to the Mayors office,
where the young man who could "whip
nigger," pranced like a Gagged tiger,
gritting his teeth, evincing willingness
to eat up "blood-raw,' all the "niggers"
this side of Liberia. "Pig-tail Alley" is a
bad place to stop in. One story is that
there were two or three men fighting the
boys, and that they whipped them, but
the appearance of things did not seem to
bear out this story.

A PhrPuOlO0isti

One evening last week, dilapidated
looking individual was going from house
to house on Portsmouth Street. He
looked as though he had run out to the
little end of hard times, and jumped off.
We saw him walk up to the fence sur
rounding yard in which lady was
sweeping. Appearances are often deceit
ful-and never more deceitful than in the
case of a phrenologist. This man adj
dressed the lady in polite language, and
she returned his greeting as politely,
while her face wore look of mingled
commisseration and amusement, for she
evidently thought him some poor wan
derer who desired to beg something to eat.
What was her surprise when the "Pro-
fessor'' assumed a patronizing air, and
said: Il am a phrenologist, ma'am, would
you like to have chart of your head this
EVENING"" Receiving negative reply,
he moved on to the next house. We don't
know whether Professors ever get lousy,
but if they don't, that phrenologist should
at once retire as an impostor.

ABOUT eleven o'clock on Saturday fore
noon, as the freight train was coming
down the Portsmouth Branch, near Ed
Brooks, near mile above town, Henry
Robinson was struck by the train and in
stantly killed. He was walking up the
railroad, meeting the train. He was
drunk, and had sack over his shoulder,
with jug of vinegar in one end of the
sack, and jug two-thirds full of whisky
in the other end. The bell was rung, the
whistle sounded, the breaks put on, but
the rails were wet, and the train could
not be stopped in time, as the engineer
supposed he would get off the track. The
engine did not run over him, but knocked
him of, and when the train was stopped
he was found to be dead.
Mr.. Robinson was an aged German, and
sold whisky many years in Jackson, then
for time at Bierley's, and for few years
past, near where Young America Fur
mace was situated.
Marshal Owens was on the train, and
we gather the facts of the sad affair from
him.

AT half-past ten on Tuesday, the fire
alarm was sounded, and the engine
brought out. The fire was in the back
room of frame building owned by Geo.
Dever, on Broadway street. The room
was occupied by Mrs. Julia Carr, and
there was no fire in the room. The next
room was used as kitchen, by Mrs.
Blackhart, and the pipe of the cooking
stove entered a fiue in the partition. This
flue is made of wood, until near where
the pipe enters it. And this is how the
fire originated.
The fire was extinguished before the
engine got to work. The damage to the
building is not large.

LAST Friday Marshal Bill Owens was
at the Depot, near the time for the mail
train to pass up. A drunk Irishman
came out of Pat Coils establishment, and
was staggering around, when Owens
asked him if he was going to get on the
train. He said he was. Owens told him
to get ON the train OF he would have to
lock him up. The man said it would take
three or four such men to do that, and
squared himself for fight. Owens had his
little child in his arms. Some one took
the child, when Owens whacked the fell
low couple of times on the head with
his cane, which brought the blood quite
freely. The man concluded he would
like to take passage on that train, and he
was permitted to 90.
