HOW TO TREAT "MAsHERS. y

Courier Journal: So much has re-
Gently been written in condemnation #
the "masher'' that few words on the
o.her eide Of the question will not be
smiss. While not designing TO treat the
'masher" as q saint, We would suggest
that the burden of street filtration be
placed on the shoulders OF those who
justly should bear II. b. azen as the
male street flirt app airs he will not often
speak to u woman who offers him no en-
couragement. IL would be poor sort of
fun for him to invite attention all day
long If his invitation met with no re-
spouse. 1t is manifest that the girls are
To blame for his presa nee on the streets.
Let them lay aside their dashing bold
ness of manner, which they often fool
ishly imagine denotes independence,
but which Is as dangerous as 1t is IN
seemly. Such demeanOr provokes re-
marks from men and women which
would make the ears of the average
maiden Jingle with indignation could
she but hear them. Thtre is no doubt
that many girls are lacking in that
modesty which would entitle them to
consideration. With these the street
filtration, frequently resulting in &C.
quaintance, is u great frolic, but the Sc
very girls would soon assume manner
not In accord with their character could
they see themselves as others see them.
Ferry few girls wish to be considered
fast, yet they can, by a certain reckless
ness OF conduct while in public places,
easily earn that appellation. They may
not be guilty of any CRIME, but they will
as certainly lose the respect ofevery one
whose respect Is worth having as though
they were. This particularly applies to
women who have reached or passed be.
yOnd the age of twenty. What may be
readily overlooked in the school girl Of
fifteen will not be forgiven IN her sister
of maiurer years.
In no other country are unmarried
women allowed so much freedom as II
our own. In view of the disastrous re
suits of this custom, it would seem to b,
the part of wisdom TO adopt the ole
world fashion OF chaperons. If, how
ever, tbs. girls and young women can b

LNGERSOLL At KANSAS CITY.
The famous Ingsrso!I circus, which

Kansas City on Friday night last. and
the Journal Of that city gave Us the full
text OF his theme. which was "Othodox

reading public have come t. know toll

his Infidel lectures and this one did not
vary materially from those heretofore
given.
II ANYTHING, IL was rougher in it's ex-
pressions on the Bible and religion IN
general, than any former performance
abounded IN more coarse jeslings and
blasphemy and Less reasoning than any
former effusiOn OF his which has been

dohimselE. In fact il was 81 rough as TO
disgust those who are investigating the
subject Of orthodoxy, aud tocomplet.ly
neutralize the effect the hoary old in
fidel intended It should have. Mr.. In
gersoll seems to have gathered the spec
ial points in orthodoxy which would an.
swer his purpose, and TO these he APP
plies ri6icule with ali the keenness of
his great wit. or course he makes peo-
pie laugh. So did Dan Rice in his day.

have been afflicted on mankind. He
frequently exclaIms, "Let as be honest, !"
assuming, of course, that those who
differ with him are dishonest IDger-
soils narrowness. his want of charity,
mis- bitterness and his lack Of real solid

not seem to command the least respect.
The Soudan, which borders Egypt and
