..rERFECTLY LOVELY"

Even worse than spirited bit OF
slang with grain Of sense to start IS
this universally used and senseless
phrase! 1t is applied to anything and
everything. 1t seems to stand in
stead of ideas, of sentiment, OF ap-
probation, and Of common sense.
Go into the rooms Of the young la
dies in our colleges for women, where
you expect something better should
be heard. But listen The first words
| that salute you are, "You are per-
fectly lovely to Gomez" and isn'tthe
day just lovely ~ and, "ook at those
ferns and bright leaves on the wall
Aren't they perfectly lovely 2"
With these young women every
thing that isn't perfectly "horrid'
and lawful is perfectly lovely

this phrase seemed almost intolerable

time glory Of that delightful place.
The phrase destroys conversation
more easily than u series Of sickly
puns. 1t is an extinguisher Of ideas.
1t certainly must eventually enfeeble
the minds Of those who allow it to
express for them all they feel.
Children catch it who can not speak
plain, and pronouncea doll or play
thing "perfy lubly."
Whenever ] hear ii, always want
to exclaim, "Oh, girls, 10 stop! Bet
ter take up the forcible language Of
| youl brothers, than weaken all you
soy by this meaningless, worn-ou'
sentence"
Girls ought to be able to talk vel
on current topics--books, new ant
old. and all that interests their broth
ers. But do they show themselve
competent to carry on a converse
| ton that will stimulate and refresl
those they meet I Good takers neve

LuciCn Baird Pardoned.

The application for pardon Of Lucion
Baird was yesterday acted upon by Gov
ernor Holiday, who granted it, and made
the following endorsement on the paper:
Lucien Baird was convicted OF horse
stealing at the April term Of the Circuit
Court OF Cumberland county, 1871, and
sentenced 10 eighteen years in the peni-
tentary. The facts show that he had been
a youth OF fine promise; went into the
war rs a Confederate soldier sixteen years
OF age; bore himself bravely for three
years to the end. DcmOralized by his asso-
Citations he was accused OF stealing horses,
and escaped TO the State OF Arkansas. He
had in the mean time married and had two
children. Helivedin Arkansas for two years,
an entirely reformed man, dcpOrting himself
rs faithful good citizen, But reward
having been offered for him, he was dis
covered and brought back TO the State Of
Virginia and sent 10 the penitentiary, rs
above stated. He has now been an inmate
OF that institution more than ten years. and
has always borne himself well, rendering
valuable services cOEstantly-On three sew
cral occasions saving and protecting the
lives OF the officers and the property OF the
State or preventing escapes OF conyicts.
The applications and urgent appeals for his
pardon are very numerous; q great many
members OF both houses Of the General AS
scmbly. the Superintendent OF the Peniten-
tiary and all the officers and guards OF that
institution. the Board Of Directors by for
nal resolution, many officers and citizens
Of Arkansas who knew him during his
two years residence in their midst, and the
Judge before whom he was tried and by
whom he was convictcd-all testify to his
complete reformation, and requesting his
pardon. He is therefore pardoned.
FRED. W. NJ. HOLIDAY.
Baird was in confinement in Richmond
iail when he made his escape and fed tO
the Southwest. lie was sent here from
Cumberland for saie-keeping pending an
application he had made to the Supreme
Court for a new trial.
For many years he has been acting rs
hospital steward Of the penitentiary, and
has acquired great skill as a nurse and
no little knowledge OF medicine. IL Is un-
derstood 10 be his intention TO remove with
his devoted wife and children to new
country, and enterupon the practice ofmedi-
cine. lie is only about thirty-siX years Of
age, is man OF good sense, and is tall, and
when in good health OF fine appearance.
His long Imprisonment, however, has told
upon him, and he looks older than he real
