When youth is fully in low. with girl,
and feels that he is wise in loving her, he
should at once tell her SO plainly, and take his
chance bravel with other suitors. No lover
should have the insolence to think of b,ing
accepted at once, nor should any girl have
the cruelty TO refuse at once, without severe
reasons. If she simply doesn't like him she
may send him away for seven years or So
he vowing to live on crosses or wear sack
cloth meanwhile, or the like penance; if she
dislikes him little, or thinks she might
come to like him in time, she may let him
stay near her, putting him always on sharp
trial to see what stuff he is made of, and re-
quiring, hgur atively, as many lion skins or
giants heads az she thinks herself worth.
The whole meaning and power of courtship
is probation, and it ought not to be shorter
than three years at least; seven is to my mind
the orthodox time. And these relations be-
tween young people should be openly and
simply known not to their friends only, but
TO everybody who has the least interest in
them; and q girl worth anything ought
always TO have half dozen or 80 suitors un-
der love for her. There are no words strong
enough to express the general danger and
degradation OF the manners of mob-court-
ship, as distinct from these which have be-
come the fashion, almost law, in modern
times; when, in a miserable confusion of can
delight, moonlight, and limelight, and any
thing but daylight, in indecently attractive
and insanely expensive dresses, in snatched
momeutr, in hidden corners, in accidental
impulses and dismal iguorancer, young peo.
pie smirk, and ogle, and whisper, and whim-
per, and sneak, and stumble, and futter, and
tumble, and bluuder into what they call
love-expect to get whatever they like the
moment they fancy il, and are continually
in tho a IF lnoin1 oil The hnrar of lif.

HALF A YEARS DISASTERS.
Nearly 5000 Lives Lost in the Last Six
Months.

New York Herald: Nearly 5000 persons,
according 10 Herald history-and this resume
does not include the hundreds of unfortunat
events wherein the loss of life was less than
three-were sacrificed in the frat six months
OF 1883 to accidents and calamitous occur
rences of one kind and another.
1t has been thus far year Of
almost unparalleled cruelty. Accidents
have occurred by foods, by FIRE, by light
uing, by explosions, by panic, by iandslides,
by snow.slides, by storms at sea and storms on
shore-dire happenings Of every descrip-
tion-some in our midst and some in every
part of the world. Only we'll defined hap
psnings will be found in the list, and it must
be left for the reader 10 picture the destruc-
ton OF and estimate the lives lost
by the long continued f1ods in the val
leys of the Rhine and Danube, and the
Mississippi, the Ohio and other Western
rivers in our own country. The fret
half of the year has been prolific in such
foods. 1t has been prolific, ioo, in tornadoes,
in cyclones, and other of natures agencies
for destruction, from which the aggregate
loss of life can scarcely be estimatsd. When
classified according 10 the months in which
they were reported, the deaths are divided as

ATLANTIC CITY, n. ]. July 9.-The death
of youog girl, named Clarissa Bounds, IN
this place last night, ives the means OF bring
log to light an awful story OF inhumanity
and crime in the Jersey pineries, ten miles
west of Atlantic City A coroner's jury eL'
amiued to-day the scared, buried and pu-
trescent corpse of one who was a short time
since young and beautiful girl. The facts,
now known Tor the hst time, show that the
Bounds girl, of humble parents and wild
habits, lett here sometime ago for Doughty's
coaling in the pine woods, where a number of
men buru charcoal. Whether means were
ussd BY the white man, named John
Thomas, ard young negro, named Joseph
Kelsy, TO entice her 10 their vicinity, Is not
knowo. She had known them mere, and went
out in service in their neighborhood, but
coon Joined them at their csmp IN the pine
soodr. Al the close OF drunken debauch
of several days, in which the girl partici-
pated, the white man, the girl and the negro
crswled close 10 a smoldering coal-pit, the
blasts from the ocean being severe, and went
to sleep iu the embers.
sAt the dead hour OF night the girl aroused
the camp with narrowing shrieks. she was
in q .mee. When the fire was extinguished,
the Bounds giri's body was burned to crisp
from hesd TO loot, but, strange to say, she
I'd inhaisd no hsmes. 1t ,s believed by
many that the men had poured cJsl oil on

awoke before II was too late, they assis ed
her to hole in the ground nesr by, where
she was kept, without food or medical at
tendance, for day and two nights, in con-
dition more awful ian that of Nero's Chris
tian victims.
Finally the overseer Of the poor for the
township, Conrad Grantz, came and deliber-
stely removed her to another hole In the
ground, where she was again kept for hours,
her roasted frame raw, exposed to the damp
ground and cold air, without treatment.
Then she was bundled eff to the county poor
house at Smiths Landing, where she was re-
fused admittance. A dog in such condi-
tion would appeal to the least humane, but
the girls awful agonies counted for nothing.
She prayed for death, but was dragged back
to the woods and again left all night in
rooAsss cabin, called Niger Hole, without
care of any kind. Already she was a mass
of corruption, but she could not die. Thrown
into a wagon of straw, she was brought
to Atlantic City, where she died last
night having been taken charge OF by the
city authorities. The facts OF her swfJl
story we're made known tonight BY The may
or Of this place, who took Clarissa Boundss
dying confession. He said the stencil from
her poor, outraged, tortured frame was aw-
full, yet she would No axe no complaint sg ainst
the men, who are, however, in the power OF
the authorities. A rigid investigator will
be made at once. These facts are absolutely
correc', and reveal the most horrible tragedy
of New J Jersey.

CONFEDERATE BONDS.
a Cranky Speculation started I'm Eng
land by sharpers.

A London special says: The Confeder-
ate bond speculation has been revived under
very singular and strangely favorable aus
pices. A large syndicate has been organ
lied 10 manage the business this time. Lord
Penzance, Mr.. Bruce, MP, and Mr.. Gorsi,
NIP, are among the principal men who have
publicly accepted invitations to serve in the
organiz ition. A prospectus has been Issued.
This invites all The holders of Confederate
bonds 10 lodge their holdiRgs with the
syndicate, who agree to be respon-
sible for them, to do everything in
their power 10 realize the largest sums pc il
bic on the bonds, and TO render 10 each holder
true accounts OF the proceeds. The docu-
meats are to be deposited for safe-keepin.
with the National Safe Deposit Company,
who will give certificates on receipt. The
pre- spectus says that the late Confederate
States have become awakened to a new life,
with tremendous possibilities; that they now
enjoy prospect OF almost immediate con-
trolling influence in American affairs; that
with the new life and new future has come an
awakening of conscience and a determine
ton to pay off Indebtedness; that the spirit
OF repudiation is well-nigh dead IN the
Southern States, and in its place is being
manifested a strong and general desire to
restore the credit of the Confederate States
by mskiug the best possible arrangements
with all their creditors, and it is extremely
probable, il all the creditors combine, a
satisfactory settlement can be effected. The
syndicate announces that Lord Penzancs,
Mr.. Bruce aud Mr.. Gorst have been
appointed trustees, with full power 10
make terms on behalf of the bondholders
with different Confederate States. These
trustees are represented to be gentlemen
thoroughly informed concerning the natter
in hand, entirely in earnest in the work, and
in a position 10 secure the best possible
terms from the debtor States. Ten thousand
pounds have been subscribed by the syndI-
cate and placed at the disposal of the trus-
tees for the purpose of paying all the ex-
peDaes of tracing out and securing the CO.
operation of all the holders Of the Confeder-
ate bonds extant. This fund, it is stipulated,
shall be credited with one. half of any pro-
ceeds realized over five per cent. on the nom-
inal amount of the bonds which may be ar
ranged for. 1t ia believed that the syndicate
has been over year in process of orgapizs-
tion, and that the recent furry of Confeder-
ate bonds in the United States was caused by
the action Of the syndicaie's agents M makipg
inquiries and purch ases throughout the South
ern States. The prospectus has already
made a market In London for the bonds
which are now salable a; one and two per
cent. of their face. But for the unimpeach-
able integrity and sincerity of the trustees,
all of whom are enthusiastic believers in the
future supremacy of the Southern States, the
whole business might be suspected TO be a
scheme on the part of speculators to create
market for the purpose Of making three
| or four per cent. on the millions OF dollar;
| involved.
