LOUISE TO CLARA.


Dear Clara:
1t has been several years since l
attempted to discuss social and
household matters and [ am sure
that our letters have been read
with pleasure by our social circle.
I thought that 1 would discuss
this week topics tnat will interest
all.
Weddings were quite numerous
last month. I fear that you
have the fever. My dear girl, 1
would not like to loose you, but,
/ suppose that since it must be, |
shall have to loose you and seek
elsewhere for a companion. In
selecting your partner for life be
sure and select good man; one
worthy of your affections. 1t is
not every man that will make a
good husband and I have the
same fault to find with women. A
good woman will be honest in all
that she says; an honest woman
will not prevaricate nor will she
allow herself to become the victim
of flattery Some women are like
some men. They are weak, they
so soon fall victims to sweet sooth-
ing words. Take my ADVICE young
girls and don't believe all that Is
said to you by men.
A few weeks ago there appear
ed in a local paper an article on
our colored society. Some people
may have an idea that the article
was intended for compliment.
If that was a compliment l don't
want to see a criticism like tn at
on our society. The white people
are not acquainted with the color
ed society of this city. They don't
know the colored people. Some
of our very best citizens are sell
dom seen nor do they puff up like
a bladder as If they were lords OF
creation.
Mr.. Henry johnson of the Re-
corders Office was married to Miss
Jens usnosky, one of the white
clerks. Mr.. johnson has been
passing as a great race man, be
often thought that it was a shame
for DIR. Purvis to marry a white
woman, and when Mr.. Douglass
married one of his white clerks
l thought Henry would 60 INTO
convulsions. It has been but a
few weeks since a great fuss was
kicked up about Col. Scbyer be-
ing placed over him, he being a
colored man. Mr.. johnson has
been quite beaux among the
colored female clerks of the Re-
corders office and In fact it was
thought the lady on 18th ST., or
the one on P St., had won his
affections. Oh! no! Henry want
ed something white; he under
estimated his colored sisters and
concluded that there is more gen.
erosity among the sisters in white.
Well Clara, the girls just don't
know what to say, they are de-
moralized. How many disappoint-
ed ones there are I am unable to
say, but, [ do know that the girls
in the Recorders office are sur
prised. At any rate Henry is
married, the wedding took place
on last Wednesday evening, at
the residence of the parsonage.
A few of the friends of both par
ties were present.
There is a desire on the part of
some of the members of the 18th
ST., Presbyterian church to dis
pose of that edifce. l see no rea-
son why that church should be
sold. All that is needed is a
thorough overhauIing out and
inside. The church is beautifully
situated and the congregation Is
composed of some of the very
best people of this city.
I think that 1 have said enough
at this writing and I shall look
for a long and interesting letter
next week. Believe me to be
Yours lovingly,

A SILLY PROPOSITION.
An English Marriage Reformer Strikes
Wrong Lead.

An English Maria ge- RefOrmer Strikes a
Wrong Lead.
The suggestion of marriage reformer
in England that the marriageable age of
both sexes be restricted to twenty-five
years or less has created a sensation and
has started discussion that bids fair to
rival the contention over Mrs. Mona
Caird's question, sis marriage failure?''
1t should be stated that the proposition
is made in good faith, and also that its
author is a married man himself.
just why this reformer advances a
theory which he must have known be-
forehand was sure TO be condemned on
all sides does not appear. Perhaps he is
seeking notorietY, or possibly thinks,
like many other apostles of reform, that
he has found a truth and is willing to
sow seed amidst difficulties which shall
bear fruit generations to come, when his
present appellation of crank will be
changed to that of martyr.
But the discussion is going On in En-
| gland with great earnestness, if that
be called a discussion which is argued
on one side only. 1t is quite interesting
to see how the nation rises in arms
against any restrictions being placed
upon marriage. Bachelors hopelessly
welded to celibacy denounce the plan
with the ardOr of youth about to lead
his bride to the altar. They don't want
to get married, would dia of apoplexy a,
| such prospect, but" like true Britons
they decline to give up any liberty. ever
| If it is useless to them.
The fair sex, of course, is Justly excl
ted over the proposal, and those whose
chances of entering the married state
are least are loudest in denouncing il
One might suppose that the sex which
| suffers most from ill-assorted marriage.
| might look with some favor on a scheme
| devised to lessen the evils arising out
of the matrimonial state, but this is no
the case. The only change that they
want is that the deceased wife's sister
bill become law.
| There is no likelihood of any such
restrictive legislation being passed. The
| marriage reformer has struck the wrong
lead a law requiring every one to be
married before attaining twenty-five
| years would be much more popular
4 Human experience has shown that ali
1 legislation of this kind has been at
tended with the worst possible results.
Marriage. the most important step OF
every persons life, is beyond Legislative
control. and although the world can fur
nish many examples of ill-assorted mar
riages. it can point with great satisfac-
tion to the fact that most of them result
as happily as If. according to tho proverb
they had been made in heavcn.-Phiia-
delpbia Inquirer.

sARNUM's siLL-sTICKERS.
They Surprise the Englishmen by tn
Rapidity of Their Work.

They Surprise the EngIishmen by the
Rapidity of Their Work.
Opposite to this house is boarding
thirteen feet high by over one hundred
feet long, and in few minutes i was to
see feat in bill-posting such as seems
hardly credible, now that / sit calmly
down to write of it. A wagon having
driven up, five men got out of it; one I
recognized as Mart Ready, Barnum's
boss poster, two were Americans in
their neat duck overalls, and two were
English bill-stickers, whose appearance
l would rather not describe. In two
minutes after their arrival the duck
overalled men had out their tin cans
full of paste and their eight-foot-long
poles with brushes at the end, and were
hard at it covering the boarding with
paste from top to bottom, from end
to end. The Englishmen stood by with
something like sneers on their faces, as
who should say: "Well, there amt
much in that; we can cover a boarding
with paste, too" Another minute pass
ed, and Ready began handing out some
carefully folded posters. The English
mems faces relaxed a little, as who
should say: "What are they goin' to do
now?" and they began to whisper to-
gether.
The two Americans seized one of tho
folded posters, gave 1t shake, ran the
brush end of the long poles under it,
raised it, gave a sweep and another
sweep, and there on the boarding was
sixteen-sheet poster, containing fac
smile of an open letter from p. T. Bar
mum, headed "My Greatest Venture"
Then followed twelve-sheet poster
portrait of Barnum, forty-eight sheet
depicting the show tents as they travel
in America, twentyfour sheet picture
of Jumbo, forty-eight-sheet repre-
sentation of the gallery of human freaks
of nature, thirty-six-sheet portrait OF
the fair Indian snake charmer from the
BowerV, New York, forty-eight-sheet
picture Of the menagerie, a thirty-six-
sheet portrait of the Mexican rider,
forty-eight-sheet representation of the
elephants performing, twenty-four-
sheet picture of the clowns, and a twen-
tY-four-sheet portrait of Miss Clara
O'Brien, the Roman knife-thrower. All
along the tops and the bottoms OF the
pictures "streamers" were pasted. The
most remarkable fact, however, was
that every one of these huge posters
was slung up into position whole-they
had been pasted together before start
ing. The entire 100x13 feet was covered
in exactly fourteen minutes and thirty
seconds! There! That is something
like bill-sticking. You ought to have
seen the faces of those Englishmen.
They were study for Dickens. OF
course crowd gathered, and, as the
omnibuses stop at the Cedars, you may
guess there was some quaint remarks
from the drivers and conductors.-Pal
Mall Gazette.
