A BAD HABIT.

A BAD HABIT.
Taking the recent tragedy al
Ladonia as text, the Sherman
Register makes some remarks
which will bear repetition and
general thought. The Register
says:
els there not, generally speak
ing, a little too much reckless
ness displayed in criticism OF
young ladies? We believe that
every man who reads this and
stops to ask himself the question
will answer in the affirmative. II
is not always the primary remark
that occasions the trouble, but
the constant addition the little
harmless remark receives as ii
goes from mouth to mouth.
In the sight of God and in the
light of justice, perhaps woman
is allowed all the latitude enjoyed
by man, but is there a man OF
woman who would indorse such a
policy to the extent of declaring
it a rule for the government of
society? Not one, we think, I'M
til man has reformed very
materially. What does a man no
injury, even when proved, and
often does not hinder, much less
debar him from being an honored
guest in the most moral and re-
fined families, would, if it exist
ed only as rumor against a
lady, ostracise her as completely
as would the leprosy. Right or
wrong, there are two standards
of morality; one for man, an
other for woman. Every body
knows this and every body should
respect the situation in which it
places the ladies of this land.
Remember that man is en-
trenched behind practically i'm
penetrable barricades, while
woman is suspended by thread
even a suspicion will snap
in twain. Remember that if man
falls by the wayside a hundred
hands reach out to pick him up,
while the woman who falls, often
is showed into the gutter, and re-
mains there. In what goes to
make up the moral status of the
human family a woman's good
name is all in all to her; to man
it is simply factor. Justly or
this is the condition
into which matters have adjusted
themselves, and when a woman
is walking or striving to walk in
the narrow path usage has laid
out for her, in the name of those
the thoughts of whom would
make a man turn homesick even.
at heavens gate, be careful that
you, by no word, unthoughted or
purposely, sever the thread which
woman's good name
over the abyss of everlasting de-
spair.''

WEYLER is justly entitled to the
reputation of being the bloodiest
butcher and most thorough

tied a ship or cut throat" and
the Cuban patriots should never
permit him to leave that Island

the tortures of hell itself would
not be too severe to heap upon
this demon, who delights in
butchering helpless women and
children, because their husbands,
fathers and brothers are in the
Cuban army.

The reports which come from
Rhode Island, and other Eastern
states of the reopening of mills that
have long been idle, and of the in
crease in the running hours OF others
which have been in operation, are
significant. They show that an
industrial awakening is beginning to
take place. The Bank clearances
recently reveal steady gains over the
corresponding periods twelve months
earlier, and the figures of the COM
mercial agencies show decline in
the number of business failures.
Thus an improvement is under way
