A FeUL.MOUTHED PEOPLE.

Ifyou want to learn the language
of abuse study Hindostaree. You
can say viler things in that language
and calumniate more "nastily," as
the English would say, (and the
word is unhesitatingly used by the
most refined LADY,, than in any other
language that 1 know of. Those
who understand the language say
that it is impossible to find any
translation in English from the
abominaple ideas that are commonly
conveyed through this medium.
But the strange part of it is
that the natives glory in Indecent
conversation, Remember this, We
American women who are thinking
of coming here as missionaries, who
would not have the courage to en-,
dure all things in the way of filthy
conversation One Hindoo may
approach another and say the most
atrocious thing in a laughing way,
touching the character of the lat
ter's mother, wife, sister or even
grand mother, and the result will
only be mutual hearty laugh, and
the tilthier the remark, the
heartier will be the mutual
laugh. Again and again l have
had interpreted to me the
iocular sslutation of one native to
another, which would have ended
in bloodshed mad one foreigner dared
to employ them in addressing an
other foreigner, no matter with how
pleasant face. These remarks are,
as q rule, go brutally obscene that
one stops to wonder how any native
could ever sink to such depth Of
DEGRADATION as to find verbal me-
dunn for the conveyance OF such
ideas.
Even the men at work paving
streets, loading ships, and moving
burdens, who perform their work
with q song, employ the foulest OF
words as they work. attacking IN
concert the character OF their near :
est and dearest relatives.
But this is not all. The abuse
of relatives begins in the h1me cir
Gle. AS soon as boy Is able TO say
half a dozen words, he is taught by
the father to heap opprobriurns upon
his mother-all in a hea,henlsh sort
of humor-aud the mother laughs
heartily, esteeming the youngster an
especially precious one if he suc:
ceeds especially well in VillifyIng
her. But once let Mohammedan
be called "pig" and the offense ia

If any doubt existed as to the char

racy, that doubt was soon dispellcd
by the method of his inauguration
Mr.. Jefferson, when elected Vice
President, desired to take the oath of
Office at Monticello, but was prevailed
on by Mr.. Madison to go to Washing
ton. The vcvival of the Jefrersonian
Democracy, means return to this
republican simplicity. Since the tide
has set in, the average Democratic
governor manages to get himself in

Hoadley has cut it down to the neigh

is not afraid to confess that he has
convictions on public questions, and
does not believe that Democracy con-
sists in lodging every living issue
or in descanting on the beauties of
abstract Democracy, while voting
every time with the Rcpublicides.
And now, following up the election OF
Payne, comes signal triumph of JEFF
fersonian Democracy, in the election
of Senator Wilson of Maryland. OF
this gentleman, that sterling Demo
cratic paper, the Baltimore Day. says
all that can be said, in a nutshell:
It gives the State senator of POS

factionaI obligations, and Democrat

fact, Judge Wilson's election means
that the bosses were so divided that
none of them got what they wanted,

Mr.. PAEvo INsT1TrTE.

As we scan the pages of our note
book some items relating to cduca-
tional matters present themselves.
The public school system of the State,
while it confcrs incstimablc advan-
tages upon the masses, does not
. fill the bill" by any means, and so
private and chartered institutions
have sprung into being which afford
by no means a ''royal road to learn
ing" but which certainly advance the
standard of education among the best
class of citizens.
Mt. Parvo Institute is an enter
prise of this character, and we can
most heartily bid it God-specd upon
its self-appointed way. 1t affords to
young ladies and misses the best of
educational advantages at the mini
mum cost, and it is matter of con-
graduation TO the entire community
that the enterprise meets with the
recognition which it deserves.
Mt. Parvo Institute was first opened
for the reception of students one year
ago last September. Its founder was
Rev. c. n. Campbell, Presbyterian
clergyman, and gentleman already
known to this and other sections of
the country both for his scholastic
attainmcnts and for the happy faculty
of imparting instruction which he pos
sesses. (And in a parenthesis we
may remark that not every wcll-edu-
Gated man or woman is necessarily a

has been connected with educational
work during the greater part of his

year ago, as we have said he returned
to his old home.
There was urgent need here for
just such school as he has instituted

thorough education, and we hope the
day is not far distant when some OF

The ''Twin Fronts is doubtless
the best known place of business in
Charlestown. Since Messrs. Hirsc.l=
man & Co. succeeded to the business
of Mr.. Goldsmith, few months ago,
they have, through the local papers,
widely advertised their business, and
in many other ways have pursued
every honorable course toward adj
vancing their trade interests.
The firm is one that is well and
favorably known in trade circles
At Morgantown, w. Va, they have
another large establishment, presided
over by the senior member of the
firm, Mr.. S. D. Hirschman; the bus
mess here is under the personal man.
agcment of his brother and partner,
Mr.. Stuart Hirschman, young man
of decided ability, and who is prov
ing himself an earnest worker in the
mercantile field.
The {: Twin Fronts" is, in every
way, credit to the city of Charles
town, and it becomes the central point
for trade of more than ordinary
proportions. One salesroom is wholly
given up to the dry goods, fancy
goods, ladies' shoes, and notions
trade. Each department is thorough
ly and Systematically classified-cach
appears to be complete, and it is evil
dent that each has an attraction for
the purchasing public. Immediately
in the rear of this salesroom is the
Millinery department, which turns
out many ''love of bonnet" and
this department is in special favor
this fall. The carpet department of
the house is also note worthy, and it
is very evident that the firm need
much more space in which to display
the carpet stock.
The second saIesroom, No. 81, is
wholly given up to mems, youths :,
boys, and chiIdren's clothing, hats,
caps, furnishing goods, and boots and
shoes. Few towns the size of this
maintain house that is so complete
in these specialties. Not only that.
but everything is well kept, and the
goods look, as they are. fresh and de-
sirabIe. In the early part of the COM
ing year it is the intent of the firm to
make decided improvements, and this
they feel encouraged to do from I:le
fact that so liberal a patronage has
been thus far bestowcd-a patronage
chat has been beyond their cxpccta-
tions.
Hirschman & Co. deserve credit,
also, for catering to the demand for
the best grades of goods, and so re-
tanning trade here that would
otherwise go elsewhere. Mr. Stuart
Iirschman informs us that the de-
mand for the finer class of silks,
laccs, velvets, embroideries, dress
goods, &C., has been most satisfactory
this fall, and lie whispered in our ear
that the house were offering some oar-
gains therein. Be that as it may, the
house deserves well of the public, and
it can be relied upon to edo the square
thing" every time.
