The significant part of this horrible story U that both women were voung, attractive, of good birth and social m,8itKM. birth educated, (one a graduate ofVassar 'College); both, had left homes f comfort and ease, husbands and child ren, voluntarily, to take up this mode of life' wUih i their case, could boast of no attractive gliding. The house in which they met their terrible fate wan one of the lowest class; the nun whom they cIhhmsO as friends belonged to a wretched negro minstrel show degraded, coward jv' brutes who stood off in safety, Watch ing them die. Only two or three days ajiothe police record.' of our own city told an even more pitiful tale. A father found his daughter in an infamous place, and strove by legal means-to take her out. The defied him, the courts fustalned her, ami she went out gaily from the court room with lier vile companions, giggling at the discomfiture of the broken-hearted father and brother, who stood with heads limvcd in nhatmi as they passed by. The most frightful fact in our social life faces us in these stories. It is that time are women in this lowest deep who are uot driveu there by want or cruelty, not led there by a betrayed attention; women w ho have been gently reared, ed ucated, leloved, but whose natures re. so tainted that they choose to go ou, like the prodigal of old, from the home Cod "-gave them, to feed with the swine. How iuauysuch are hidden in these dens, God only knows ; how .many remain in their . original position, -the records of our di vorce courts, the foul gossip with which .sicalleTl fashionable society -reeks, not on ly iu thjs country, but Eiilund, gives us an appalling hint. It is useless to ignore llits fact. Neither the pulpit nor the press, it it means to help at all in the work of Wttciiiig ouT social life, ought to ignore, the fact that a certain portion of 'Ameri can and Kugli.th pociely is rapidly becom ing as licentious as that of Paris. Who is to blame tor it Not human un til ie. Women and men are born as pure as they were a generation ago. Not Christ's religion. His hand is as strong , to save tlio Magdalen in the streets of New -York as of Jerusalem. It is the moth ers fho are to blanie. Mothers in fash ionable society, in the cities, and in that society which feebly a pen the fashion in towns and villager and farm places front Maine to Oregon, who set before their daughters, from their birth, dress, show and style as the sole gods they are to follow. We venture to nay that style,1' the most vulgar of words and things, has. done as niiich to corrupt the women of America as liquor has. Not only was it the cause of our downfall, but modesty, honesty, .aud decency- are sacrificed to it. Fashion liow publishes even the rules for "first ronimuniou dresses," and sets forth the pi- 4in's and coiffure iu which an innocent 'girl, may properly approach 'her God. e is nothing so holy that it is not niade subservient to it. It is not the wealthy mother alone, who . vitiates her child's mind by this worship of folly, but the inechaiMc'swife, the poor seamstress, whose aim is to "push her daughter on iu society," to give Jicr stylish dresses in stead of a modest heart, -u clean mind and a (Jod-fcuriug soul. The moral training which such mothers neglect is supplied by hot-pressed, sensational juvenile liter ature and the reports of foul scandals in the newspapers. Listen to the precocious gssip of the flaunting, overdressed school girl who parade the streets on a holiday, and the tragedies in Philadelphia and New York, which we have mentioned. will not seeiii a strange sequel to such a training. It is but to ft certain portion of ouro Hety that these trnthsapply, and that the Mnallfst. The Ki,.at obscure mass of American women are honorable, chaste ad modest.

X friend Iwving told Dean Swift that an excellent Dublin "boot-maker, Damer ick, was very desirous of the honor of his custom, the Dean ordered a" pair of boots of him and asked him when they would lie ready. Hanierick named a day, aud his now customer told him that he didn't want to hurry him, but that he must not fail to send tliein on the day named. Bani t rick assured him this should be doner The day arrived, but no boots. Swift went to the shop and received ample apol ogies Irani liamerick, with the assurance that it was one of his men who was to blanie. -"Well," the Dean rejoined, I was to have been at Sir A.-Acheson's ia the north, to-day, but this has prevented me. They will be done on Monday, you say ? bring them up iu theafternoou, your self, and Ijivill pay :tlje bill. Baulerick duly arrived with the boots, and found theDcan very affable. "By the way, Mr. Bamerick," he presently said, "1 don't think you've ever ween my garden j come along." And after the Dean had walked the boot-maker round a bit, he excused himself, aud returned to the house, lock ing the door behind him. Bamcrlek wait ed aud waited, the sun went down, and the evening closed iu dark and chill. The garden was surrounded by a high wall, and there was no way of getting out. At length, the Dean rose from his writing table, took a pistol and -drew out the bul lets, and then called up his butleiy "Bp- I bcrt," said he, 'I am sure there is some fellow, probably a tlnet, in tlie garden ; call up the other men and come with me." Then the Dean went to the garden gate ami opened it stealthily. Poor Bimerick rushed forward. "There's the villain, seize him," said the Dean, firing off the powder. The unhappy Bamerick shriek ed out, "For (Sod's sake, don't shoot, it' only me, Bamerick." "Mr. Bamerick," exclaimed Swift, in tones of the utmost astonishment, "what is the meaning of this" Why, ir, you've left .me here since 5 o'clock. You must have forgotten all about me." "Ah, dear me, to be sure," said the Dean, just as you did about the boots." Then lie told the butleK to give liamerick some hot wine anjl see him safe home. Who hasn't met with a Bamer ick. Ejc. ' . ' ; The greatest mistake in the life of the Dean w as made in draw ing out the balls. BIBLE AND NATUBE. The God of Nature and of the Bible is one. 4Ie who 'inspired histories, and psalms, and prophecies, and epistles, was he w ho made stars aud flowers; and the work of his hands never look so fair as when studied in the light of his word. Natuie is not so much a book "by which we can Oud out God as a book from which We may gather illustrations of what God is, having learned bis perfections from his revealed truth. Itisaid of Archbishop Usher, when he grew old and spectacles could not help his failiug sight, that a book was dark except beneath the strong est light of the windows. Aud the aged mau would sit against the casement, with his outspread volume before him, till the sunshine flitted to another opening, wherf he w ould change his place, and put him self again under the brilliant rays; aud so heAvould move about with the light till the day was done and his. studies ended. And truly we may eny our weak eyes w ill not suilice to make out the. inscription on the page of Nature, unless we hold it up in divine light unless we get neat the window 'of the Scripture, where God pours iu upon the radiance of Jiis Spirit. And wherever it shines let us follow it, know ing that now hcra but in its illumination can we study the spiritual meanings of nature ?o well. J. tShuifjhton. A North Carolina Curhmitij. Froiu the Loudon (Eng.) Era. "There is here a wondjnful curiosity of nature; she is Miss Millie Christine the Two-Headed Nightingale, who visited this fountry some years ago, and is again paying a visit to this country. Miss Millie Christine, the Two-I leaded Nightingale, is blessed not only with two head, but with a double proportion of arms and feet. In fact, she is more re markable, and much more agreeable than the Siamese twins. She is u native of Co lumbiis county, North Carolina. "Miss Christine is quite an accomplish ed member of the dark race. She sings duets w ith great taste and musical skill, the soprano and contralto voices blending most agreeably. "She is very smartly dressed in white .silk and pink high shoes, and the appear ance of the four feet capering over the carpeted floor, gives the idea of a perpet ual waltz going on." We referred yesterday to Grant's dis position to falsify the military records of his countrv. in order to magnify his own deeds: We mentioned his statement that he lost but 30,000 men in the campaign against Iee.

A cloud of witnesses will contradict liini American and Europeau Northern ami-Southern: Grant had 100,000 mcu at Appomattox. Lee surren dered less than 0,000 men. H7. S7r. ANOTHER NATIONAL. We print this morning a commu nication from Col. H. H. Helper, con taining a summary of what he says is the platform of the National party. Col. Helper alao adds four other planks of his own. Whether Col. Helper is authorized thus to add to the platform of his new party is .un known; if he be so authorized it is a tremendous discretion to vest iu one man; if he be not, the Colonel finds himself at variance with his new par ty at, the very outset; and in either events the .Nationals will go beiore eople of the Seventh Congress 1 District in a very questionable U Helier, if we mistake not, howe" rer, is a very loose man in ins party relations, having, according to our recollection, acted with every par ty during the last dozen years, inclu ding an independent candidacy for for the Senate from Rowan and Davie, in which he failed of an election by an almost unanimous vote. With such a record, it is not to be expected that Col. Helper could find room enough on any platform, or that he could hesitate to shoiteu it here or lengthen it there, as might suit him. It is one of the evils incident to all new politicaT organizations, to gather together all the soreheads, dead-beats and men of loose political proclivities generally, men who though eager for political preferment see no hope for it in their accustomed ranks, and are, therefore, ready to jump at any chance that offers, just as drowning men are ?aid to catch at straws. Of course along with the mass of impracticables there are men with good purposes, and who have in view the public wel fare rather than their own. Men, however, who have been lying abont loose, first in one-political bed and then in another, arc not able to give much character to a new party, nor do they expect to do so; they hope rather to be benefitted themselves than to benefit others. The announcement that Col. Hel per intends to meet Col. Armfield, the nominee of the Democratic party, on the stump will scarcely wc think cre ate much alarm either in the bosom of Col. Armfield or among the rank and file of the Democracy. Col. Arm field does not fear the 'fullest and fair est discussion, nor does the Democratic party, for it is easy to demonstrate that whatever is good in the objects! aimed at bv the National organization can be more speedily and more surely accomplished through the machinery and organization of the Democratic party than in any other way. The Nationals will uot be allowed to steal Democratic thunder, call it by another name and frighten us from our pro priety with it. As has been well said by a cotem porary, this latest form of opposition to the Democratic party may be called the Radical, alias the Republican, alias the Greenback, alias the Work- ingmen, alias the National party. When a man goes by a multiplicity of names it is a pretty sure sign he is a rogue. The same rule may be ap plied to political .parties. Like all other delinquents, no sooner has a party, become notorious for its frauds, its prostitutions, and its corruptions under one name than it adopts another, in the hope of escaping under cover of an alias. Whatever name the op position to the Democracy may as sume, it is pretty sure to disgraee it, and to be defeated in a short time. The enemies to Democracy were de feated as the Abolition party, the Know Nothing party, and lastly, as the Radical party. Now they are organizing as the National-Greenback-Workinginen's partff. But this change of name makes no change of men. A rogue will be a rogue, and a Radical will be a Radical, let him adopt what name he prefers. He cannot hide the cloven foot long, or evade his inevit able destiny. He may affect the pu rity of the saint; or pretend to the zeal of a patriot, but he will accomplish nothing. The counterfeit coin can not escape detection for it is only the old Democracy that has the ring of the true metal aboutJt. Ral. Obser ver. A Better Spirit. There are men and women too, who would be horror stricken if a ball were to begotten up in their neighborhood, who .will not hesitate to originate and perpetuate Church bickerings and quarrels. They would cousider it a moral sin to-dance; and ye are the stirrers up of strife, jealousies, animosities, and hard feel ings, as far as their influence extends. They will not dance; but they will do worse. Dancing is bad enough but bitter words and a bitter spirit are much worse. Rev. C. Finney. The lessou to be taught to-day will be, that iu future, county conventions must give way to the system of primaries, where the sentiment of the people can be better expressed and "ring" management must hereafter be kuown only in name. People are growing weary of controll by the few. We seriously doubt whether conventions can govern either party after this. Turboro Southerner. NO COMPROMISE. As I grow older, as a paren t, my views are changing fast as to the de gree of conformity to the world which we should allow to our children." I am horror struck to count up the pro fligate children of pious persons, and even ministers. The door at which these influences enter, which counter vail parental instruction and example, I am persuaded, is yielding to the ways of good society; by dress, books, amusements, an atmosphere is formed which is uot that of Christianity. More than ever do I feel that our families must stand in a kind but de termined opposition to the fashions of the world, breasting t He waves like the Kddystdne light-house.' And -I have found nothing yet which requires more courage and independence than to rise even a little, but decidedly, above the par of the religions world around us. Surely, the way in which we commonly go on is not that way of self-denial and sacrifice and cross bearing which the New Testament talks of. Then is the offence ofj the cross ceased. Our slender influence on the circles of our friends is often to be traced to our leaving so little difference between us. Rev. J. W. Alexander, D. I). KENTUCKY PICNICS. (New York Times.) They liave original views of what constitutes a picnic in Kentucky. Iu this part of the Union we count it an excursion to the country for social pleasure and pastime. Down there they regard it as a rendezvous to set tle old grudges with the revoller and bowie-knife. The telegraph lately in formeJ us that at a picnic in Lewis county, iu that State, William and Thomas Blankcnship were recently stabbed to death, and that ten to fif teen other persons were more or less seriously wounded. Now, that sounds comfortable. Such facts as these shar pens one's appetite for picnics. It is downright hospitality to invite a gen tleman to a party of that sort and then butcher him: It may seem like a human barbecue to people who are uot accustomed to. the thing, but it's delightful when one gets into the way of it. What can be more enticing than a picnicwhcre two men are kill ed and fifteen wounded? There might have been more casual i ties, to be sure, but in all- probability the day was not a very good one for picnicking in Lewis county. It should be a source of deep regret and mortification to Northerners that they can't -have pic nics of the good old Kentucky kind, where whiskey flows like blood, and where the entertainment closes with several murders, just to encourage and please the "boys." Wc presume the invitations especially ask persons to whom they are sent to bring th ir revolvers, rifles and bowie-knives, that they may be properly equipped, as rare sport is usually expected, and usually provided. The story goes that in that region they do not say a man has been killed they merely men tion -that he had goue to a picnic; the rest understood. The N. Y. Times has' doubtless over stated the facts, and no one is fool enough to believe thecxistance in Keutucky or elsewhere, such a spirit of levity in respect to taking human life. A HINT FROM THE MORMONS. Ex-Governor Hendricks, in a re cent industrial address, alluded to the highly prosperous condition of the Mormons as existing previous to the the influx of the Gentiles into Utah, saying that "to the fact that they pro duced all they consumed I attribute their wonderful prosperity." This re mark, associated with the prosperity of other communities in different parts of the country, would suggest the querry of "Why the principle can not be more largely applied to the whoU nation ?" Certainly the resour ces of the whole countrv would indi cate a much greater diversity of pro duction, and if there was the same re gard for a uniform building up of our industrial system there would seem to be need of but little importation, cer tainly of goods which can be readily made, and which our people need the labor to produce.

Thomas, of Detroit, in the current number of the Dental Conmo, states that this operatiou of "replanting" has been so common with him, and the results ro uniformly satisfactory, that he does not hesitate to perform, it on auy tooth in the mouth, if the case demands it; and he finds the cases that demands it, and the u umber that he operates upon, continually multiplying. He makes it a point to examine the end of the roots of nearly all bis cases of ab scessed teeth; and a record of mere than J50 cases, with but one loss (and that in the mouth of a mau so timid that ho ut- rfjT; jrs-fuaea to bear the paiu which near ly always follows for a few minutes, there fore neceisitatingre-extractiou), convinces him that the operation is not only prac ticability but decidedly beneficiaf to both patient aud operator. Forgone sitting is all that he has ever really found necessary to the full and complete restoration of the case. In the present article, however, Dr. Thomas states that it is his object not so much to speak of the replanting asof trans planting, which he has reason to believe U justas practical, so far as the mere re-at tachment is concerned, ns is replanting. He details, in illustration, a case in which he successfully performed the operation; inserting iu the mouth of a gentleman, who had lost a right superior, cuspidate, a solid and healthy tooth that he had re moved from a lady's month four weeks previously. He opened into the canal and pulp chamber of the tooth, fi urn the apex of the root only; cut the end off one eighth of an inch (it being that much too long), reduce the size somewhat in the center of the root (it -being a trifle larger than the root extracted), tilled and placed it in position. He states that the occlu sion, shape, aud color were perfect, so much so that several dentists who shw the case were not able to distinguished thetransplauted tooth from the others. The two features in the case that he calls particular attention to are: first, that al though the tooth had been in the office four weeks, there is to-day no preceptible change in color; and second, that the re attachment i as perfect as though it had lieen transplanted or replanted the same day of extraction. The operation was performed about three mouths ago. Dr. Thomas knows of but two obstacles iu the way of the perfect practicability of "trans planting first, the difficulty of obtain ing the proper teeth at the proper time; and second, the possibility of inoculation. The latter is the more formidable of the two, and to escape the ills that might fol low, the greatest caution is necessary. The first difficulty is more easily gotten over, for it is not necessary that the tooth transplanted should correspond exactly in shape and size to the one extracted; if it is too large, it may be carefully reduc ed; or if too small, new osseous dejiosits will supply the deficiency. Neither is it uecessary, as we have seen, that the trans planted tooth should be a freshly extract ed one. As a demonstration of what modern dental surgery is capable of performing, Dr. Thomas'' statements are very inter esting; it is doubtful, however, whether popular prejudice will allow tliU practice of "transplanting" to become' of much use.

If North Carolina readers are not hearti ly tired of and disgusted with the ceasless Senatorial question, then they are not of the same liver and complexion with our self. East North Carolina is almost a unite for Vance, we believe, and yet on that account, should we cheat our readers by devotiug two columns to Vance every week ! We have yet to find the mau who is not heartily disgusted with the never ending letters of the Raleigh clique in the Raleigh Observer bolstering Merrimoii. They have written him to death politic ally, and now they will write him into odium. The plan at present pursued by both parties will cause the defeat of both aspirants. There's something way down iu the breasts of the masses that says, the party is paramount to the claims of men. Tarboro Southerner. This is truthful and well said.

NOT TH E GOOSE FOR HER SET. (From the London World.) I was riding with Charles Dickens one day when he suddenly woke the echoes with one of his bursts of laugh ter. On ray asking, with the smile of anticipation, what the joke was, he took from his pocket a letter just re ceived from Harriet Martineau, who was staying at Tyuemouth for her health and who had noted the follow ing incident of life, in lodging. In the same house as the authoress were sojourning a good-natured wo man comfortable in person and in cir cumstances, aud not a little vulgar, and on the floor above, a lady iu del icate health, of straightened income, but of distinguished connection, as she proclaimed to the Tynemouth world. As Mrs. A below was sitting down one day all alone to her midday dinner of roast goose, it seemed to the good soul that her enjoyment of so excellent a bird would be increased by participation with the solitary, sickly and ill-fed Mrs. B above; she therefore, cut some delicate slices, from tho breast aud sent them up between two hot plates, accompanied by sage and onions, and gravy and her compliments, and the hand of Betty, the maid. There was an ominou, an awful pause of some duration, and then Betty came down again, paler, with the luncheon untouched between the two hot plates, and oil the lop of them a note, which was to this effect, verbatim : 4Mrs. B will thank Mrs. A to disseminate her goose in her own sphere.

A tele gram to the Internal Revenue Com missioner, dated Knoxville, Tenn., to-day says: "On the evening of ihe 6th inst., Collector Cooper sent four men, and two deputy marshals to Blount county, to arrest a man named Amarine, and seize his distillery. The officers came upon the still at day-break this morning in full opera tion and strongly guarded. A fight ensued ; one-revenue offi cer was wounded and the force com pelled to retire.

The constitutional provis--, ions are that neither the United Slates , nor any Jitate shall assume or pay-.. any debt or obligation incurred in aha s of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, nor any claim for loss ' or emancipation of any slave. And the man who tells you that an obli gation can be assumed or paid in vio-r, lation"of the Constitution deals false-T ly with you. Do you ak what I think of Hayes' Southern policy ? He' hair none. He and his Administration' l -are incapable of any policy, but what they have done in the South I ap- prove. General Grant will probably J be the Republican candidate, and his candidacy will signify a .strong GoyJ ernmcnt, always prepared to hold the fi people in control. ' i R A I L V A Y G O M P A N ITIS and the DELJVERYOF BAGGAGE, , (NV.v York Sun.) '. , . : The obligations of railway'compan- 1 ics in respect to the delivery of bag- gage to passengers traveling by tho same train with it are tilearly defined '! in a case lately decided by the Exm chequer Division of the. High Court t of Justice in England. A maid had been journeying with her mistress on the Great Western Rail way, and they alighted at Paddington station iti London, where she saw all their bag srage, including her own Irunk, taken from the cars and placed together on the platform. She went for t Iie'hotel porter to take the baggage to the hotcj, but it appears that he did not find her j trunk, for it was not among the things which he brought to the hotel. Uponi; the trial of a suit to recover 150 aa the value of the trunk, the jury found. , that the loss occurred through tho negligence of the company, aud that-, there was no delivery to the plain-, j tiff. They rendered a verdict in her favor, which was Upheld on a nio tiou for a new trial ; aud Barou Cleas- . by quoted the following passage front RerHield's American work on carriers,,, as a very intelligible and convenient statement of the law. "It is the duty of a rajjway company, hTTegard to tha baggage of a passenger which " has reached its destination, to have the'i baggage ready for delivery upon then platform at the usual place of deliwNt cry until the owner, iu the exercisoof due diligence, can call and receive jt and it is the owner's duty to cal) for and remove it within a reasoneWjit litne." .
