WOMEN IN the SADDLE.

The custom for women riders to
sit astride the horse in the ordinary
mems saddle has become so well
established that it bids fair to
superssde the time hOnOred side
saddle habit. 1t is welcome
change. The divided skirts worn
by those ride in the new fashion
look thoroughly feminine and thus
prevent all suggestion of eccen.
tricity or outlandishnsss that so
often handicap new method.
The custom adds a now charm to
one of the best forms Of outdoor
exercise. A good-looking young
lady gains in attractiveness when
she rides in this way. Firmly
seated, she rides as if she belonged
in her place. The side-saddle prac-
tice has little to recommend it OK.
cept its sanction by ancient custom.
A women riding that way, attrac-
tive though the general appearance
may be, has an insecure and even
uncomfortable look that makes the
method seem artificial. Health,
grace and beauty will turn the
balance in favor Of the innovation.

RIGHT WRONGS NO MAN.

IL we may judge from the man
ner in which the Acknowledgement
rules proposed by the sub-commit-
tee to govern the primaries is be-
ing denounced by thinking men
and leading papers of the State, it
will not take the central committee
long, when it meets on the 10Th
of October, to knock them sky
high and wipe them out forever,
since they are veritable absurdities
on their face. II is simply idiOtic,
and suicidal to the Democratic
party, to hold that because man
may have happened to vote for Il
Republican Congressman once,
that he be tabooed aud excluded
from the Democratic party forever.
There are, perhaps, men in many
parishes of the State, who have, at
one time or another, and particu-
larly at the last election, voted for
Republican candidates for Con-
gress, who may have done so for
some reason which to them seemed
good, and that beyond this they
did not intend to 60 and may not
have intended that it should affect
their loyalty to the Democratic
party in the least, and who would,
possibly, not repeat the act. Is it
just or right or fair to bar them
out and say you have O'erstepped
the line once; you are in the Re.
publican camp and there you must
stayi Can the Democratic party
afford to do this1 Can it afford to
lose some Of the best, most able
and influential men who have here
tOfOre stood in its ranksi We
think not. Then all who would pre-
vent such thing, bring back those
who have hitherto been loyal and
thereby strengthen the party ranks,
should stand up boldly for the
wiping out of these extreme and
ill-advised rules. - D0naldsoMville
