It is remarkable, but nevertheless true that, as rule, firts, both male and female, do not marry quickly. The chances are that girl who becomes engaged at IS, and goes on becoming engaged and dlsengaged, as it is the custom for firts to do, ultimately settles down into a confirmed old maid, too. If she does wed, as general rule, she developes into the most virulent wasp, makes her husband miserable, and brings up her children badly. '.s7

 It is not very difficult to find reasons why hirts do not marry. Sensible men admire in a woman something besides pretty face and engaging manners They love intellect, common sense and heart, quail which the firt does not possess. The true woman allows her affections full play, and is not ashamed of them. She will not lead Q man to believe she cares for. him when she does no such thing she will not firt with him just for the sake of flirting.

 She has truer conception of what is right, and possesses a good deal more common sense. She has derived her education from something else than three volume novels and the society Of empty-pated fops. She can be thor nugh1y merry but she knows how to be merry without being idlotic. She may attract less attention in drawing room than the flirt does, because she is less noisy and obtrusive but, for all that, she will get married sooner, and make her husband a better and artruer wife ...l v,....

 A true woman does not care for the spooney young man. She dislikes his foppishness, the yapid compliments he pays her, and his etfeminacy. He quick ly finds this out, and leaves her in peace Thus, if he ultimately gets married, it is to firt, and the happy pair'' lead the jolliest cat and dog life imaginable.

The Democratic Nominations. i Rich

that the party has number of men come cted

such men be selected


Have not the actions of members of the pres
ent Council, who were endorsed as first rate
men BY the party when they were announced
as candidates for election, so disgusted those
who are really most interested in the selection
of capable men, that they will decline to take
any interest in the matter of their selection
and leave it to the control of the political
leaders? We are disposed to believe this will
be the case, and instead of turning out the old
concern, unanimously acknowledged to be cor
rupt, thev will ask the people to support many
OF the same men, and complain if it is not done.


We have wasted no time upon this question,

The President made the following reply:


Mr.. Roberts, l congratulate you upon the
mark Of the continued confidence OF your
government which the new credentials pre-
sented by you evince: This congratulatl0n
may be the more cordial, as it confirms tho
general opinion Of your course during your
past official residence here-a course distin-
guished by zeal and fidelity to your
own country, and by courtesy and
consideration toward that to which you
have been accredited. The recent changes
in public persons and officers in Spain are
understood to have been SO amply sane
toned by the popular will that they must
be entirely acquiesced in, especially In
countries whose governments repOse upon
a similar basis. l heartily desire that the
new order of things there may tend to
strengthen the bonds Of amity and good
will which have always been maintained
between our respective countries, and that
the United States may never forget that
Spain was their useful friend at an early
and critical period of their career.
