SOMETHING ABOUT GIRLS.

noticed an article written by my
friend, observer" which l heartily
endorse and do hereby warn Young
men against the evil influences of
heartless women.
Very often we meet along life s
pathway girls who want money.
Girls are always supposed to be on
the look-o for husbands, and
whether they are or not, it is not our
province to decide. Those who are
Enthusiastically anxious to be settled
in life, as it is generally termed, un-
fortunately, are more unsettled than
otherwise by adopting the matri-
monial yoke. There is a very large
number of young ladies who not
only desire a husband, but require as
well that that husband shall be amp
lyrrovided with money. They will
tell you with candor that they do
not believe in the "Love in q Cot
tage' business; they don't want the
love neither do they want the cot
tage, but there is one thing that they
do want stremously, and that is,
money. Money is the only creed they
know anything about. 1t is the only
God they worship and in order to
obtain this most necessary adjunct
to conjugal happiness they are not
at all particular what finesse or
hypocrisy they employ, neither are
they very fastidious as to the age,
appearance, or attributes of the
necessary incumbrance they are
bound to take with the money. He,
indeed, is quite secondary considera-
tion. If he should be young, so
much the better; good looking, better
still; clever-well perhaps. not
so much to be desired, as he may not
be SO easily cajoled as a man who
carries his wits in the heel of his
boot But however, the main thing
to be considered in the matter is
what he is worth, for money is what
these girls wish to marry and money
is what they mean to have. Some
times the travelling old dotard,
whom Miranda thought she could
lead anywhere by the nose, proves
that ne can keep pretty tight hold
upon his purse-string and the young
lady who barters her youth and
beauty for money only too frequently
discovers that she has made fatal
mistake, hence the large number of
divorce cases that fill the courts. Of
those who do not succeed in marry
ing money, some moderate their
desires and content themselves with
humber positions and the rest 90
to swell the ranks of old-maids.
Once you fall into the clutches of
a heartless woman you may make
sure of being pretty smartly fleeced
ere she releases you. She does not
care for anything cheap. She will
tell you coolIy that she loves oysters
and adores champagne, and of these
she can take her share as many a.
tapless young man can testify to his
sorrow. These girls are often the
ruin OF young men, who, blinded by
their fascinating manners, incur ex-
penses In frequenting their society
which their income is totally in.
adequate to meet, and frequently
results IN their finding some means
of obtaining money which in many
instances blasts their reputation for
life. "Who can find a yirtuous
woman, for her price is far above
rubies?" JoKFR

els Saul Also Among the
Prophets?"

Editors Herald lis my Catholic
friend O'Carroll also among the pro-
hibitionists? His article in THE HER
AID proves that he is a prohibition
list although he may not know it him
self. He says that liquor lis good in
itself" and that "every man has an
inherent right to the proper use of
wine, beer and whisky just as he has
the unrestrained right to the proper
use of milk or any other commodity
which he needs;" and yet he would
license only Is men to sell beer and
whisky in Oskaloosa and prohibit all
the rest of the people from selling
that which sis good in ITSELF and
which every man, according to his
logic, has just as good right to sell
and buy and use as he has to sell and
buy and use milk.
There are in Oskaloosa 10000 peo-
pie, and O'Carroll's license plan
prohibits 9,9s5 of them from selling
beer and whisky land gives only is of
them the privilege to sell. O'Carroll
is with the prohibitionists in prohi'
biting 1885 of the people OF oska-
loosa from selling tntoxicants-he is
himself a prohibitionist by majority
Of 1886 to Is; and since he considers
prohibition the right thing and a
good thing for 9,9s5 OF the people of
Oskaloosa, he ought to be impartial
and help the other prohibitionists to
pass the same good thing on to his
Is friends. His fifteen favorites have
only the same inherent right" that
the 1855 have. II his favored fifteen
have the same inherent right" to
sell whisky and beer that they have
to sell milk, the other 9,9S5 have the
inherent right" to sell beer and
whisky and milk that the Is have,
and neither O'Carroll nor any other
power has the right to deprive them
of their inherent right" to sell beer
and whisky as they have the "unre-
strained right" to sell milk. 1t seems
that O'Carroll's partiality for his 10
friends has blinded his eyes to the
inherent rights" of the other 9,9S5
citizens of Oskaloosa.

CAUSES GREAT SURPRISE.
State Department omeiaIs Do Not
Understand Statement of Lord
Rosebery.

Washington, Feb. 17.-Lord Rose
bery's statement in parliament Thurs
day. to the effect that last December
the British government made unsuc-
cessful overtures to the United States
and Germany for an alliance, has caused
the greatest surprise among the state
department officials, and, while they
are not in a position to make an official
denial, they do not hesitate privately
to assert their absolute ignorance of
any overtures of the kind described.
Officials here intimate that from his
position as an opponent of the present
English government Lord Rosebery is
not in position TO speak by the card
as to what took place in matters as inn
portant as this.
