"woman's quick intuition" The edi-
rress's fruition of the same is doubt
less genuine q can Austin candidate,
who had a number ofnegroes employ
ed on his place, had an old musket in
the house, which had been loaded for
about three years. As he wanted to
load it up for ducks, he called Jim,
one of the negroes, to take the gun
out into the yard and fire it off. NO,
don't let Jim fire that gun off. He is
going to vote for you tomorrow, and
the gun may burst and kill him. Tell
Jake to take the gun and fire it off.
I've got my doubts about how he is
gong to vote!' exclaimed the can

WE see the stale SANDER revived
and going the rounds of the press
that "women talk for the sake of tell
ing what they know men for the
sake of drawing out what others
know" A long experience and OBJ
and casual conversation with
both seXes-as much of which as pos
sible has been devoted to the charm
ing gentler class enables us to char
acterize this silly tattle as the sheerest
rubbish. AS rule the talk of women
among themselves is more instructive
than that of men it is infinitely more
free from vulgarity, gossip and vic
iousness. Women meet together-in
this city for example-in the mainte-
nance of eight or ten commendable
associations and societies, church and
other. Their talk and chat on such
occasions is business-like, lady-ike
and instructive, pure and elevating.
Of such social gatherings the men
support one. Contrary to the general
conception, men are more inveterate
tattlers than women, and their pro-
miscuous talk is vile and filthy be-
yond all understanding. Men will tell
and laugh over smutty stories by the
hour and lie awake nights trying to
invent new ones. They will reel off
by the yard salacious yarns of their
personal experiences that are made
out of whole cloth. There is sing
ular feature about the talk of men
When two are together they may con-
verse about solid matters in sensible
way, but the advent of of a third gen
orally diverts the channel of talk into
a dirty stream, and the accession of
one or two more invariably converts
it into cesspool. 1t is common to
sheer at woman's tongue, but its fruit
to man has been solace, comfort and
happiness. The man who believes or
affects to believe in the superiority Of
his debased kind to the other in walk
or talk is crank or a liar, and the
Journal is happy to bear the burden
of the statement. It is time this fus-
ilade against the imaginary lightness
of woman's mind should cease. If she
have faults, they may all be traced to
her unaccountable or unreasonable
fondness for the coarse and gross
creature we call man. Were he re-
moved from the scene of action, wo-
man would go through the world
without spot or blemish. He ought
to be ashamed of and hate himself for
his detraction of the undeserved bless
ing bestowed upon him, and the indi-
vidual who would scar woman's ten
der reputation with a foul tongue
ought to be sent scurrying instanter
to the realms of Pluto.--Topics.

A BRILLIANT young man died iii
Atchison from excessive drink. and
the Champion thereupon printed IL
ferclble and truthful temperance lee
tures taking the case of the unfortu-
nate young man as its text. 1t said
nothing to which an easy conscience
could take exception, but a howl was
raised by class which felt that it
had been reflected upon. Weare glad
to note that the Champion has the
manly courage of its convictions, and
continues. If there is a curse in this
day and age that needs determination,
it is the habit of young men collect
ing for the express purpose Of engag-
ing in drunken dehauch, or -lgoing
on bum," as they delight to express
it. It'll often the case that coterie
Of this sort will select a young NAH
who would otherwise remain sober,
and will employ every possible device
until he has entered fully into their
degrading fellowship. The young
MAI of sense should take warning,
and the source of danger to hin
should keep quiet.-Topics.

A story comes from Massachusetts of a
giri falling dead from fright caused by a
sudden kiss. y Boston paper thereupon
proceeds to read the girls Of that city a
long lecture on the necessity of being pre-
pared for a sudden kiss The advice is all
right There is nothing like being pre-
pared for what the future has in store for
us, but kiss is so rare and improbable a
thing with Boston girls that it means a
great deal Of waiting and watching for very
small returns. Besides it would be dread
full TO have it go abroad that Boston
girls were always waiting to be kissed.
What girl could endure that? Better that
one girl should seem to be taken unawares
now and then than the spectacle of a
whole town of girls ON the qui vive for
what may neycragain take place.-[Detroit
