| FASHION AND FANCY.-The April Num-
Der of "Fashi0n and Fancy" is gay and
pretty a. usual. Besides its superb fashion
plates, this Magazine is beginning to be
! famous for its fiTst-ra;e tran>l4t;ons, and We
notice that the editors anuouuce for their
next issue rare literary curiosity, IA trans
lation from the ancient "Erse," of a heroic
tale, taken from that wOndrouS Illuminated
scroll, THE Book Of Lein>ler" and over 40
years old. The serial story, a ora,' i of
wlerd and enhancing beauty; and our lady
friends will reyel in the very useful depart
mentS, Household, Fashions, Society and
Fancy Work. There are several at her bright
and original articles, by Miss Minnie Gil
more, Miss Madeline Kerens, etc, etc.,
which space forbids Us to mention.
BY an examinations of the Financial State
ment published in the REGISTER of two
weeks ago, We Zee that there Is loaned from
the School Fund the sum IF So ,646.5O. We
understand that the law requires, a. security
upon loans, school fund mortgages on real
estate, and a bond signed by two or more
solvent securities, solvent at the time OF
loan, who must remain solvent, and when
they become insovent new bond must be
required by the County Court. We do not
believe that any loans are made On INSULT
cient real estate security; on the contrary,
examination shows that the landed security
is ample, but, judging from the name>iofthe
personal securities published. a considerable |
portion of the above amount loaned, is so
loaned upon insufficient and insoiyent per-
sonal security. The county court should |
look into this matter.
Our correspondent at Goodland objects to |
our calling il "the celebrated West End"
but we think the adjective is admissible
not against all the people OF that section,
but because through the TrolIinger, Turner
and Denni>nn eases in our courts, that see
ton has become renowned - the outer world |
of the Southea-t. A. to the Riley Hotel, no
good citizen here upholds it or patronize> it
in the sense suggested by our correspondent,
any more than does any good citizen from
any other part of the county. bad citizen,

to plead As an offset that his surroundings

time, having assaulted a public schOoihOuse,

correspondent may insist, however, that the

that the preacher wasn't. crihodoX, and that
these facts ought to clear the parties raising

offset could be as logically pleaded in these
two instances in the other.
Isaac" takes ception to the bill provid
ing for the weekly payment of wages due
the laborer. He asserts that the purpose of
the bill Is to crush out the "ltte mill men"
and thereby give TO the larger companies a
monopoly of the lumber trade! If this be
so, then the big mill men are the most benev-
client, philanthropic ard unselfish people on
the face of the globe, and we have been en-
tertaining angels of the fifth heaven una

and other "big miIl' men, a few weeks ago

the most talented counsel in the State-whom
they no doubt literally feed out of their own
pockets - lObbied and worked manfully
against the bill which was to rid them of
their little competitors, who, "Isaac" says,
by being compelled TO sell quickly, always
bear the market and make low prices for
lumber. The righteousness of the propos-
itiou makes 1t awfully sublime, and we dis
