MISS SADIE BEJACK, EDITOR.
Arguing With Women.

A really Interesting topic, Will d really
clever, superior woman; the society OF
such a woman affords the most enjoyable
relaxation from study or other severe
work. that is possible to experience. 1t is
not at all essential that her talk be bril-
liant. not even necessary that it be witty;
II is quite enough that it be really wo-
manly, that whether grave or gay, or in
whatever line it be, it truly reflects the
right relations OF woman to man in a we'll
ordered society.
It is Just as great fault for 1t woman's
talk to be mannish. Ii, for instance, a
discussion is to be maintained on really
serious or interesting topic between a
well read man and cultivated woman, it
is essential that it be not permitted to de-
generate into disputation. Truly wo-
manly talk is, like all the influences Of
refined women, suggestive, stimulative,
hunlanizing in the highest degree, but
never contentious. II it once becomes
combative, or purely argumentative, it's
charm is gone.
"Don't argue with woman is one of
those social laws which real gentleman
isalways careful to observe, and a breach
OF which he considers to be a decided So
cial misdemeanor.
man arguing with a woman is at a
fatal disadvantage. Neither the weapons
nor the laws OF combat are equal. He
fights with a blunted sword or a bIunder-
buss; she with double edged rapier, or
an arm OF precision. He must stand,
but may not deliver, the fire of personal
ities He must not 'tshock her de1icacy,"
a very favorite restriction with rather
underbred women, and with American
ladies' He must not "shake her faith" a
restriction under which most women re-
quire an argument upon any OF the most
deeply interesting problems of the day to
be conducted. And she is to be the UNI
pire, or arbiter, whether he breaks any
OF these restrictions. In short, argument,
even with an able woman, is game the
law OF which is, ssheads you win, tails
lose,' game at which few men of sense
care to play.

At The City Court.


tends a session of our City Court,
despite the fact that common re-
pute says that rich occurrences
| often take place there, and he is
a sad side to these scenes, for, on
many occasions, there appear be-
fore the mayor young men who
have taken part in disgraceful acts
the night before. Young men
whose doting mothers think them
so noble and courtly; whose Sis
tiers are SO proud of their gallantry.
It is we'll, frequently, that the home
circle is not disturbed by knowl-
| edge that the son, the youth of
hope and promise, has been a
| prominent actor in a brawl, which
was so obscene, SO low in the depths
of degradation that bitter tears
would be wrung from the eyes of
mother and sisters; the face of the
father would bear a worn, uneasy
look.
| On Monday morning last our
editor CHANGED at the City Hall on
business at the court hour and de-
cided to witness the proceedings.
And how his heart grieved as he
saw youth arraigned for having
taken part in disgraceful row the
day before-the Holy Sabbath
Day. We have seen this youth in
devotional exercises; we have
heard him lead in public prayer;
and we believe he was sincere, was
a Christian.
Young man! young man! now is
the time that character which will
shape your destiny, is being form
ed: in Gods name, stopiright now.
We shall not call your name, but
oh, turn back, turn back, right
now.
But there was a humorous side
to the proceedings Monday morn
ing. Mayor McKella has way of
proceeding that belongs to himself.
He is unqualifiedly the sovereign
of the City Court. He is rigid
martinez, he brooks no opposition,
accepts no suggestions. His word
is law without discussion; his rul-
ings absolute; his judgments ire
tvocable. And still he is not cruel
with all this, and neither is he OBJ
jectionably bombastic in deport-
ment nor tyrannical either. On
the contrary, he is a man with a
kind heart, sociable disposition
and friendly in his intercourse.
But to give an idea Of trial we will
here recite one.
"Mike Mccarthy" called out the
jovial chief; and then stepped for

Savannah, Nov. 26.-The intervening hol-
iday in the past week caused the aggre-
gate business of the week TO fall off. The
wholesale departments, however, were
fairly active during the early part of the
week. The naval stores trade was par
ticularly good, there being a strong de-
mand at advanced prices. The cotton
market was quiet, and sales of spots
were light. There was an advance of
Lice early in the week, but that was lost
to-day. The security market was quiet,
but there was good inquiry for Central
of Georgia railroad incomes and South
western railroad stock. There were sew
eral vessels cleared with cargoes of cot
ton, naval stores and lumber
and a number arrived for out
ward cargoes. The following resume
of the different markets will show the
quotations and the tone at the closing
to-day:
