Its Necessary.

Young man, you have to work.
Whether you handle a pick or Il
pen, a wheel-barrow or a set of
books, digging bitches or editing a
paper, ringing an auction bell on
writing funny things, you must
work. If you look around you,
you will see that the men who are
most able to live the rest of their
days without work, are the men
who have worked the hardest.
Don't be afraid of killing yourself
with overwOrk. 1t is almost be-
yond your power to do that. Men
cannot work so hard as that on the
sunny side of thirty. They die,
sometimes, but it's because they
quit work at p. NJ, and don't get
home until A. NJ. It's the inter-
val that kills, young man. The
work gives you an appetite for
your meals; it lends solidity to
your slumber; and it gives you a
perfect appreciation of your hOli4
days. Retire early, rise early, be
temperate in all things, labor with
a will, be honest, and prosperity
will be the result.

WHILST everybody is thinking of
the best course for the South to pur-
sue, we would suggest that if the
legislature of the South would do
one thing the country would be
safe; and the one thing is to pass
law prohibiting washer women from
dunning editors. There has been
many towering article that might
have fixed the fate of nations, states
at least-and settled the destiny of
our great party, but tor washer-wo-
man coming in just as the editors
mind was soaring high after ideas,
and bringing him back down to sad
realities by asking for dollar for
last weeks Washing; especially if
he hasn't got dollar, which is
sometimes the case, she wants 1t
worse than ever, and a wash-wom=
an can want money harder than
anybody, perhaps. Its for the good
of the country and we hope it will
be looked into. And the man that
introduces the bill might as well be
fixing things to go t. Atlanta for
he'll be the next Governor sure,
even if a Sunday School man were
oppose him.-MoRrOe AdDertiser.

How French women Dress at a
Ball.

Ball.
Paris Cor. of the London Times.
French women not only have the
taste and the aptitude for Invention
but the courage and the oppOrtuni-
ty to carry out their ideas. No two
women in all the vast company at
the ball were dressed alike, and
each seemed to know by intuition
what was best suited to her shape
and beauty. IL was not worth, but
individuality. Striking individu-
ality in some cases, for in one of the
lower tiers of boxes saw a glorious
looking Rubens woman with an en-
tire cOrsage of fOrget-me-nOts. The
flowers were artificial, of course,
but perfect limitations, and so
grouped and intertwined that they
climbed naturally and gracefully
from her girdle to where the more
ambitious sprays just touched each
other from either side at the sum-
nit of her shoulders. An Ameri-
can lady to whom l afterward at
tempted to describe this costume,
said: "Well, there must have been
gauze or something underneath the
fOrget-me-nOtS." No, there was not
gauZe, for, like the rest of the spec
tatOrs, | looked often and looked
hard, but there was something, and
the rich, warm flesh peeped out be-
tween the flower stems. In fact,
inside the forg6t-me-nOts, the
woman was naked from the waist
up. The costume was not indecent
lit was surprisingly pretty. So
was the raven dress of a blonde
temptress, whose cOrsage Was throat
high, with a ruff, but from her chin
to where her waist began was IL
strip of genuine flesh color, brIdged
liked the Seine at night with cross
bands of genuine black. But l
mist not particularize further. Suf-
flee it to say that the place WAS IL
parterre OF plump shoulders and
finely rounded arms and forms
magnificentiy displayed and drap-
ed. If there were any of the
scrawny present they had the sense
to be covered up. There were no
vulgar things in tights. But there
were shepherdesses and pretty
peasant girls and odalisques from
the haPenI, and regal beauties from
the court of Marie Antoinette and
the time of MaintenOn.

The Crime Undoubtedly the Worl
ora Man Craxed Nv Politics.

The Crime Undoubtedly the work
OF "a Man Crazed ny Politics.
Gen. Hancock said to a New
York Tribune reporter Sunday:
at was assuredly the act of a
lunatic, or a man driven into a
crazed condition by politics. The
latter Is probably a true description
OF his condition. lit is the natural
result of strong political feeling in
other words, Of political faction.
1t isan outcome of the state ofaffairS
which has been developing in the
country through factional animOsi-
ty. There are minds so constituted
and naturally excitabIe which,
when worked upon by passion and
intense feeling, are driven into this
condition. This man is evidently
of that class. IT would be absurd
TO suppose that he was at all con-
nected with any one else-in other
words, that there was any cOnspi-
racy. The man acted on his own
responsibility. In the case Of the
assassination of Lincoln, the excite
ment had been running high upon
the issues of the war and the South
ern people were embittered, yet
Booth acted on his own responsible
ity, although his act was an out
growth of the excitement of the
time.
ado you think this act il possibly
a phase Of Nihilism ?"
81 know nothing about 1t. /
have paid no attention to the ques-
ton. / do not suppose 1t is any
thing of the kind. although l have
no opinion to express upon the
matter. Ii is simply an unfortuR-
ate fact that the President of the
Uuited States has been shot down
i'm open day"
''Do you recall the attempted
shooting of Jackson ?n
ayes, but only generally. Com
PARSONS of that kind are not desira-
BILE. Even in drawing parallels in
the cases of Presidents Lincoln and
Garfield, / dare say / went too far.
In many respects there was d mark
ed difference in the circumstances.
Sin case of the Presidents death,
do YOU think il will have any bear
ing with reference to'the Southern
Peep ?"
Il can not say. do not wish to
discuss it. The Southern people
have nothing to do with this matter
more than the North. The prejudices
of the war are dying out, and there
is no further occasion for bringing
forward the subject. In case of the
death of Gen. Garfield l have no
idea of what Gen. Arthur would do.
There is no need for speculation. 1t
is merely a waste of time.
