The Society editor in looking about has
discovered the following facts : That mas
cnI;ne apparel for women is going out OF
fashion: that it is o Islander on the young
ladies to say that any of them play eucnIe
with their young gentlemen frienos, ene
stakes being a kiss: that the new autumn
bonnet recalls the hats worn by Wasnlng-
TOMS soldiers; that ladies who have nottne
chatelaine and dangling ball or charm, are
becoming scarce; that progressive euchre
il almost as good for fii%rtations as the gld-
dv ennis: that there are several fashlona-
he weddings on the tapis for the not dis
tant fnture: that the coming season prom
;ses 10 he a brilliant one in Wheeling social
circles: that people are gradually return
inc from their summer vacations, wnlle
some are just leaving; that-weii, many
other things. e

spent dancing to Prot. Killmeyer's music,
refreshments being introduced at the
proper hour and proving a highly appre-
ciated feature.

HerOdOtus records a BabylOnian GUS
tom, which he declares to be the wisest
he had ever heard of. This was their
wife auction, by which they managed to
find husbands for all their young women.
The greatest beauty was putup first, and
knocked down to the highest bidder. then
the next in the order Of cOmeliness- and
SO on to the damsel who was equidistant
between beauty and plainness, who was
given away gratis. Then the least plain
was put up, and knocked down to the
gallant who would marry her for the
smallest cOnsideratiOn-and so till even
the plainnest was got rid Of to some cy-
meal worthy who decidedly preferred lu-
ere to looks. By transferring the scale
of the ill-favOred the prices paid for the
fair beauty was made to endOw ugliness
and the rich mans taste was the poor
mans gain. The BabylOnian custom
might be advantageOusly adopted in
some modern countries. 1t tends to
fair distribution of the gifts of fortune.

The colOred race owns six million acres
of land in the South and is assessed upon
taxable property to the amount Of nearly
one hundred millions Of dollars. And
when they will have abandoned their ex-
travagant ideas, drummed into them by
white men who use them as stepping
stones, and will settle down to co-Opera-
ton with the good white people, it will
prove intellectually beneficial to each and
the whole country.

Every bill brought forward that tended
to benefit the railroads, was adopted by
the Legislature. But not single bill in
