Our Daughters.
BILL ARR TAKES A PHILOSOPHICAL vikw
or THE SITUATION.

Well, there is reason for everything
and cause for every effect, but
don't know why there are more girls
than boys, and wish somebody would
tell me. Some folks say it is a sign of
peace. The girls are the smartest,
know, for they have had the most edu-
cation. Before the war the boys were
put forward and the girls kept in the
background, but now the boys have to
work. and so the girls are sent to school
and to college, and the boys have to
help pay for it. That is the reason
why the girls are the smartest, and my
fear is that they are little too smart
and won't marry those young fellows
who can't write little poetry and don't
know whether Byron wrote Shakespeare
or Shakespeare wrote Byron. But l
reckon they will, sooner or later. Mrs.
Arp says that girls marry too soon,
anyhow, and she don't want any of hers
to marry under 20, unless the offer is
very splendid one in all respects. |
reckon that is the reason she went off
at sweet 16; but l think Gibbons is
mistaken. The census shows about as
many boy children as girl children in
Georgia We've got six boys and four
girls, and that is about right. There's
more anxiety about the girls. They
watch these young fellers for fear of
trouble, for the old saying still holds
good:
"A son is son till he marries wife:
A daughter is a daughter all the days
of her life
1t is sad to see girl come back to
her fathers house to live after she has
been married year or two. Poor thing
she never knew what a good home she
had until she left it, and by-and-by she
comes creeping back, pale and sad, and
the man she trusted goes another way.
That is the wreck of life. No more
happiness for her No wonder that
parents feel anxious about their daugh-
ters, and the daughters ought to think
and ponder long time before they
marry. A fathers house and a mothers
love are hard to beat But then hap
py marriage is the highest state of hap
piness, and every girl ought to look
forward to it. There are lots of clever
young men in the land--young men of
good principles, and who have been rails,
ed by good parents The girls ought to
mate with 'em, money or no money.
Money is "a good thing, but principle is
better; and if a young feller has got
both, and don't drink and gamble, and
is industrious and healthy, why he is all
right, and if was girl / would put
him on probation and say, l think you
are very good man, but you know l
am an angel, and if. Well, if he
seemed to doubt my being an angel I
would just tell him to go hence. If a
young man don't look upon his girl as
being an angel before he marries he
never will afterward, and if was a
girl would be an angel as long as l
could.

KATE


There's something In the name OF Kate
Which many Will condemn;
But listen now while relate
The traits OF some Of them.
There's dcllKate, a modest dame,
And worthy OF your love;
She nice and beautiful In frame,
As gentle as dove.
Communi Rates intelligent,
As we may well suppose;
Her fruitful mind Is ever bent
on telling what she knows.
There's intn-Katc, she's so obscure,
'Tis hard to ind her out;
For she is often very sure
To put your wits to rout
Prevar-Katc's a stubborn maid,
She's sure to have her way;
The coyilling, contrary jade
objects to oil you say.
There's altcr-Katc, perfect pest,
Much given to dispute;
Her prdttllng tongue can never rest,
You cannot her refute.
There's dislo.Kate, in quite a fret,
Who fails to gain her point,
Her case IS quite unfortunate,
And sOrely out OF joint.
Equiyo-Katc no one will WOO;
The thing would be absurd.
She IS SO falthless and untrue,
You cannot take her word.
There's di-Katc, she's good ana true.
And strives with all her might
Her duty faithfully to do,
And battles for the right.
There's rusti-Kate, a country lass
quite fond OF rural scenes;
She likes to ramble through the grass
And through the evergreens.
OF all the maldenS you can find,
There's none like edu-kate
Because she eievates the mind
And aims at something great.

While it is often thought too much
of our timber is being yearly consumed
in ties, very few have the slightest con
ceptiOn of the number of railroad ties
used every year. In speaking upon
this subject competent authority says:
"75,000,000 railroad ties are needed
annually in this country alone, aud the
life of this underlying lumber is only
five years long. Three hundred thous-
and acres of forest are yearly cut down
to supply the wood needed for railroad
construction and repair, The railroads
alone would in time strip this country
of every tree. 1t has been found that
paper made from straw can be so man
ipulated as TO supply the sleepers and
ties now made wholly of wood. 1t will
last ten times longer than wood, and
does not cost much more originally
There is no end of straw and other
iibrous materials, which can be used in
the manufacture OF paper while ouI
woods are disappearing each tree OF
which it takes nearly hundred years
TO mature, Paper has been used tc
make every part OF house, including
all the furniture and utensils. OF late
years it has very generally been used
in the construction of car wheels. 1t,
employment for railroad ties will save
our forests

soLyENr INSANE.


Mr.. John Di agle, whose insanity was men-
toned last week, was subjected to an Inquest
Tuesday and legally declared insane. On
Thursday the frozen fingers Of his left hand
were amputated. Under the law, he not be-
ing pauper, it now becomes necessary to
have guardian appointed, and his care and
maintenance provided for. The present
contract for keeping the Territorial insane,
only applies to paupers, and the Governor
is not authorized by law to make contract
applying to any persons possessed Of prop
erty. This law should be amended before
the contract for the Territorial insane is re-
newed. so that If the guardian desires the ad-
mission of luna.ic in the asylum he
NAV be placed there at certain con-
tract price and medicated as any
others, or as may be agreed upon. 1t will
soon exhaust the limited resources of the In
sane man, as IN this instance, to provide a
keeper, and the family will then be depend
ent on the county, while the patient will
have had no treatment to restore him to
mental health In the instance above re-
ferred to, IL is stated Mr. Dingle has very
little more property than. the law would
allow his family under exemption. II then
pri vate party cannot collect from his estate
because Of the exemption law, why should
the Territory compel this little substance to
be exhausted by expensive and inefficient
private care Of the patient.
We presume, in the case OF Mr.. Dingle
that he will be admitted TO the asylum, ba'
the contract does not so require, nor does
the law SO permit the contract TO be drawn
The law should be promptly amended to
cover such cases, and provide as good care
and medication for the man who has propert,
"a the man who has none.
