A short time since, just at dusk, a
peddler carrying large pack appeared
at the door of wealthy farmer in the
town of Green Garden, in this county,
and requested the privilege of remaining
over night. The farmer being away

hired man that he could not stay. He
then requested the privilege of leaving
his pack until morning, as he was very
tired and could not carry it any further

pack deposited in one corner of the sit

The extent to which the hibit Of the se-
cret use Of chlorof0rm prevails to-day among
all classes Of women, from the inmates
Of the shameless haunts Of Greene street
to the bellies Of the Fifth avenue, and the
pupils Of fashionable boardiug.schools, is
known to few except the apothecaries who
supply the deadly drug. For deadly it
is; aud though its poison is sometimes
as swift as the cobra's it is at others slow
in its vengeance, reaching through years Of
misery, but always sure and inevitable.
We hear with terrible frequency Of sudden
deaths from chloroform, "taken only to
allay head ache;" but we do not hear of
the wreck Of the brain and the ruin Of the
nervous system, which its babitual use
surely brings about The swiftness with
which it produces its dreamy intoxication
and the few apparent traces which it leaves
behind, made it u favorite with women who
know nothing of its ungovcrnablc force, of
its cumulative effects, and of its terrible
dangerous nature Its use is far more de-
precated than that of alcohol or opium, the
effects Of which can easily be foretold
Chloroform, on the contrary, is as subtitle
and sudden in its wayward vengeance as
the most treachcrous and dangerous of the
women who use it. The dose that was
seemingly innocuous yesterday, may, if
repeated, bring swift and rcsisties death
to-day, and though the penalty should be
delayed, it is certain to be inflicted sooner
or later. When, year or two ago,
writer charged American women with
drunkenness, the charge was easily re-
PEELED; for the delicate organization of
the refined lady instinctivcly and notorious
ly shuns the rude grasp Of alcohol. The
charge that chlorotorm is largely used by
women, is, however, lamcntably true. 1t
is generally used in ignorance Of its nature
and ultimate effects, but the sad disgrace
full fact that it is habitually employed to
an alarming extent, as all aid to female
drunkenness, cannot be gainsaid.-New

THINK FOR YoURsELvEs.--It is always
best to think first, for ourselves, on any
subject, and then to have recourse to 9TH

our sentiments. Thus We may reach truth
which We never should have observed mad
we caught particular mode of reasoning
from an author. No principle should be
received from education or habit merely.
Let men observe before pcrsuing the opin-
ions of others. We check original thought
by first learning how and what to think
from others. The strength of others should
be called to assist our weakness, not to pre-.
vent the cxertion of Four powers. BY means

How DO THEY LIKE IT?-Thcrc are
many conservatives who, late as the last
general election, deprecated the idea OF
making the negroes the political equals Of
the whites. They pretended to believe
that the Radical party had no intention of
enforcing that doctrine on the people.
They stated they woald oppose it to the Bit
ter end


What do these honest men think now
Are they convinced of the truth of what
we have all along been telling them that
the result of this crusade would be the in
vesturc of the black race degraded, ignor-
ant and brutal as it is, with all the attri-
butcs of citizens? Do they propose to eat
their own words at the beck of their lead
ers, and go down on their knees to wor.
ship the sooty idol!


The Republican party has not only come
out for negro suffrage but negro equality
in the fullest sense. 1t is trying to saddle
that doctrine as practical fact upon the
country. Will those who stated that they
would leave the party when the fact was
developed, make their words good; or will
they ignore their manhood and "cat
husks" because their leaders command
them?
