Both Reid and this man, who by the way is not in Europe, were roped into this scheme and have now got many thousands of dollars tied up in it. They have long ago agreed that the best thing to do was to unload the whole thing on European capitalists, and for that purpose the Washington member of the affair went to Eurone ahout ten days ago, and is now await--ing Reids arrival. Of coursejieid will endorse the Washington man, and his official position as U. S.

A few evenings, arro, on Jeaving church after service, it was my tune to fall in line just behind a couple who have adopted the disgusting custom of Ue so-called "arm-clutcb." I must say, that on this special occa sion, as the lady was big and t he man was little, It did not look so. dreadfully inap propriate, x but decidedly unnatural, nevertheless. To me it seems the. most uncalled-for, the roost unnatural and decidly the most, immodest custom our girl have taken op. v I look at our young men in astonish mentl j . It is beyond my comprehension how a man witft any manhood (even if iie is mue; can nairg ou a lady's arm as if ho were looking to her for protection. When I was young a gentleman escorted a lady as her protector; he offered his arm as an act of gallantry, and always wim mat proua, manly look which pro claimed more emphatically tkan words. "lam strong; lean upon me." Now, things seem to he entirely reversed, and it an- IK'ars inai, an me gallantry and chivalry w men ought to be innate in man has passed away and he has degenerated to such an extent that the ladies have to protectant support him in walking out; xow, girw,ii uiese "dudes'7 look to you tor protection and support, why not dou their beaver hats, twirl their walk ing can4 and give-these weak, helpless. men your, tiowum ana . flowers?. Why not transfer to, them, .your rbig becoming hats aud long' waving plumes to shade those handsome eyes, which turn to von with that pleading (for protection) look? xsaui wnai uttter degeneracy of the "genus homo"!! And this custom is cer tainly the most undignified and the most unwarranted trespass upon eood man ners and true refinement of anv nrcurtirft that has been adopted by the genus 'Virl-o." Now, laying aside all jesting, I wish to say to you girls that this attempt to play "the gallant" you are resigning your luoucsiy. it is natural to woman's heart to de sire and to enjoy admiration, and the girl who receives thuch attention often mistakes this for admiration. Thebeanx fall into your "fast ways'" to have what tney term amonst themselves "a iollv good time;" do not flatter yourself that tneir attention means admiration, for by your lack of modesty you lower yourself in tne estimation of all men; the girls wno receive tne most attention arc often those who arc least admired. The very men who "carry on" with forward young girls, say very ugly things about them when 'they are to gether and the girls are not present. I really pity girls who have no grown-np brothers to tell them how untrustworthy most men are, how thev ridicule nnd condemn the forward srirls. whilo tho truly modest girl is always hinhlv spok en of, admired and almost revered eveu by the "fast" young men. No matter how beautiful, how accom plished or how taleuted a woman may be if she lacks modesty she fails to com mand due respect from tne opposite sex. Modesty is, said to be "woman's most precious jewel;" she ought to learn its worth, then value it, aud guard it. with the utmost vigilence. There is a great laek of modesty now-a-days, and I sometimes wonder if the mothers are no as much to blame as the girls. If they were taught from their infancy. hat modesty is a woman's onlv safe-guard, they would value it more highly, and could not cast it aside so easily. Now, my dear girls, take warning and not oiiense give up this abominable cus tom, practice, fashion or whatever else you may choose to call it; and you men, if yon have any manhood left, obey the Bible injunction, "Quit ye like men; be strong."
