(Provision of the bill heretofore pub

Mr. Swaim thought that the old
mansion could not be repaired. He
advocated the report of the commit
tee. Mr. Cooper thought the hardness of
the times ought to be takes into con
sideration. The property sought to
be sold was valuable, and if it was for
ced into market would not bring anything-
like its value. He thought $1000
would cover the cost of repairing the
old mansion.
Mr. Cobb said be was favor of old

new house for the Governor.

Pendme definite action the House ad-

Fashionable Women.
Fashion kills mere- women than toil
and sorrow. Obedience to fashion is a
greater transgreision of the laws of
woman s nature a greater injury to
her physical and mental constitution
lhan poverty and. neglect. The slave
woman at her taste will livo and prpw
old, will see; two or three generations
of her mistresses fade and pass away.
Washer woman. with scarce a ray of
hope to cheer her in her toil, will live
to see here fashionable sisters die all
around her. The kitchen maid is
hearty and strong when her lady has
to be nursed like a sick baby. It is a
sad truth that the fashion-pampered
women' are almost worthless for all
the ends of human life. They have
still less power .of .mora.will, and quite
as little of physical energy. They live
for no great purpose in life; they ac
complish no worthy ends. They are
only doll-forms in the hands of milli
ners and servants, to be dressed and'
fed to order. - They serve, aobody and
they save nobody. Th'ey ' write no
books they set no rich t examples of
virtue and of womanly life.. If they
rear children servants and nurses do
all save fo conceive and' o give them
birth. And when reared, what are
they ? What do they ever . amount to
but weak.spions of -the old stock ? Who
