LETTER FROM GEN. BRAGG.

EDITOR REPUBLICAN:-Itis rarely that

but have been especially favored on be,
ing furnished by letter, with an article
published in your paper over the sigma
ture of F. p Brook, which I think con-
tains some things it may not be aruiss to
refer to. He says, "Gen. Bragg had been
blowing long and deep in the 9th and
9th wards, but without effecting anything,
all the prominent Democrats favoring s
D. Burchard first, last and all the time"
The truth is Gen. Bragg made no effort

scarcely an acquaintance in the wards !

of the article is as groundless az the state

Buying the Legislature.
A Very Great Purchase for a Very
Small Amount.

The State Legislature commenced ito
first biennial session Wednesday, Jan.
IA. The Milwaukee Sentinel makes q
proposition by which those in the hum
blest circumstances, who could never
hope to purchase legislature" can at
least purchase the proceedings of such a
body. It offers to send The Daily Sen
tinel by mail till the close of the session
for only two dollars. As this session is
likely to last five or six months, il takes
the chances of having to publish the low
est priced daily in the country. The
Weekly Sentinel will be sent till the
close of the session for twenty Ave cents.

American and English Girls.
London standard.

London Standard.
American girls offer a bright example
to their English sisters of a happy, IN
clouded youth, and instances seem to
be few of their abus ng the liberty
which is accorded to them. Perhaps
their immunity from sentimental
troubles arises from the fact that from
earliest childhood they have been
comrades OF the other sex, and are
therefore not disposed to turn a man
into a demi-god because they only see
mi at rare intervals under the eagle
eye of a mother or unit. A great
revolution in public opinion would be
required ere English girls could be
emancipated to the extent which pre-
walls on the other side Of the Atlantic.
and ever then it is doubtful whether
the system would work well. The
daughters of Alb on. with but few ex-
ceptions, are sin~gle-hcarted. earnest.
and prone to look upon everything
seriously. They often make the mis-
take of imagining that a man is in
love because he is decently civil. Per-
haps this may be owing to the fogs and
mists Of II native land, or the
spleen" of which we are accused by
our French neighbors. Therefore. any
change in our social customs might
multiply instead of decrease the num-
Der OF disappointed spinsters, and we
can but wish the two million superflu-
Gus females of statistics a c%ontentcd
mind and p%erchance the reyers;on of
a rich widower. To those who are
tore-doomed to be winged and
rush blindly on Their fate. We may ut.
ter the hope that the coming mar will
do his spiriting ''delicately," as Izaak
Walton advised the angler to treat the
worm on his hook. Some are so
rough and reckless in Their handling
of the female heart that the victim
may well exclaim in the words of the
OFT quoted lines:
''Perhaps it was right to dissemhle your love,
But why did you kick me down stairs?"
