" ANOTHER PROPOSITION. Messrs. T. VY. Strange and George R. French, jr., received a telegram yesterday from Messrs'. i Converse llemment and John X. iWhldden, of New York, in which they stated that if Wilmington would help them they would give her rail connection with New Berne. Also, that they conld submit a proposition this month. Presum ably, this refers to rail connection to New I'erue through ' 'nslow coanty. Messrs. 'lemenr and Whidden .ire said to be resjxjnsible men, but it n difficult to see what , they c;m accomplish until the ques tion to be voted on here tomorrow s finally determined.

If the efforts to build a road from Wilmington to New Berne could Ive concentrated upon one scheme there would bo some hope of build ing it But it seems that the Wil mington people only want to build into Onslow county, and the New Berne people want to do the same thiDg. Both want to capture the entire trade of the county, but the people af Onslow, if they help to baild a road want such an one as will be of the most benefit to them, and to this end will insist on its being built from one city to the other so they can have chsice of markets. In this the people ot Onslow are right, and we see no reason why Wilmington and New Berne should not unite with them and build the road through from one point to the other. "Wilmington is now able to compete with Norfolk for cotton, then why should her merchants fear to aid iu openiug a road that will put the people of Onslow in quicker communication with Nor folk as well as Wilmington. The latter place ought to compete with Norfolk for cotton in the New Berne markets. The building of this railroad would enable her to do this. INDUSTRIAL F.Dl(ATI0. .It would be a capital idea to in troduce into onr Graded School such studies as telegraphy, book keeping and short-hand writing. All are of practical utility, and would be more beneficial to a good many of the scholars than Lntin and Greek. We do not propose to abolish these, bat they might be made discretionary, that others might be taken up. The neceesi tiea of the times demand a depart ure from the old beaten track, and an opportunity should be offered to those who desire to perfect them selves in them. Fayetteville Ob server. Industrial education is one of the great needs of the couutry. Many young men graduate with honors at colleges bat they are at a loss to know what to do. They either have to go to teach in g an honorable and useful calling it is true, but in danger of being over-run or go to the professions, but the great mass of children are unable to attend college, and they are the ones whose education should be such as will make them independent, self sustaining and good citizens. The heart, the mind and hands all ought to be trained THANKFUL FOR SMALL FAY0HS. One of the things that gives us some hope for the fatnre of the State is the fact that in the news paper notices of school exhibitions in the country, mention is often made of the fact that ''Carolina" was sung as a part of the exercises. A correspondent writing this week about an exhibition in north Iredell last Friday, mentions that the children- sang "The Old North State Forever." Liberty can never die in our midst so long as the thrilling words and music of Gas ton's grand ode are taught and sung in the schools of the State. States ville Landmark. The children oi the State are thankful for the little help they get from the public funds for school purposes. They love the good old State because is keeps some of the j public schools open long enough in the year to learn them to sing "The Old Xorth State Forever." In the country the public schools are some times orx?n fix weeks during the year. JOURNALISM AND POLITUS. The New York journalists have done hoDor to Henrv Watterson, the distinguished editor of the Courier Journal, who in response to the address of welcome from the President of the Press Club, in the ourse of his remarks said: "On the other hanj, no man can min gle the business of politics and journal ism and remain an honest man. He must do one of two things. He must seek to popularize himslf at the ex pense of truth, or he must, as a journal ist, care not a damn about anvthinK but the truth. ' Mr. Watterson is himself a iour- nali.-t, and we be':ee h is acted a prominent part on 1 1 . t - political stage ot the last quarter of a ecu torv.

Many news .it Mr. apei'3 carry theirpohtios at their masthead as if the paper depended upon such an announcement for its existence, and if the editor writes his honest sentiments he is often accused of 'damaging the party.' ' So it is often the case, with partisan journals, that the truth is not told and to be hoaest a man must be truthful. The conduct of Senator Kiddle Iverger in defying the courts of Vir ginia, and his consenting to be re leased from prison by a mob de serves the severest condemnation by all law-abiding people. The idea that a United States Senator can openly insult a court, defy its mandates and allow himself re- i i .- : . - . t. 1 le.iseu irom ruerueu puuisumeui. u ' a mob is simply shocking to thiuk 'of. If an humbler citizen had been ' guilty of such conduct Kiddleberger j himself w ould have approved and en j dorsed the punishment intlicted by the court and condemned the man ; ner in which the release was made. Governor Lee ought to sustain the '.Judge with military force if neces 1 sary and see that even a I'nited j States Senator must respect the laws of the commonwealth. Onlo Village People Picnic.

I Kpitor Journal Perhaps yon would like to hear a little from this section and adjoining neighbor hoods, and sister villages, Cathar ine Lake, Tar Landing, and the cele brated Alum Springs, Sheriff Mor rill's place. The villages above mentioned are ah" prospering little places, and the people ire so hos pitable and generous hearted; I never saw a more genial and friend ly people in all my travels. At the village of Richlands there are John W. Mills, John H. Hill, White Humphrey, . E. Sylvester, F. Koonce, merchants; Dr. J. L. Nich olson, physician; Rev. F. A. Best, Baptist minister, and our host, L. W. Harget, who by the way is a model citizen, and his good wife I never shall forget; and if we were a young man we wouldn't say what we might do, because friend Louis has an accomplished daughter well versed in music. Esq. F. Thomp son and F- D. Koonce are the limbs of the law; and four fine churches complete the village of Richlands, ; with the exception of schools, one , in progress now kept by Mr. E. M. ! Koonce, and another to start on j the 15th by Trof. W. II. Kornegay, a gradnate of Wake Forest, we be lieve. ! At Catharine Lake there are'sev- j eral stores, but we only talked a little with onr friend Col. S. B. Taylor, and took a look and a trip! on the beautiful lake, but the prin- j cipal part of our enjoyment was our trip to the Springs, Sheriff Mur-1 rill's place. This was the annual : picnic, as it is called, and well might it oe caned tnus. e nau never been to a picnic there before, and ot course enjoyed ourselves muchly. About two thousand per sons were there from ten different counties New Hanover, Pender. Duplin, Samson, Wayne, Lenoir, Jones, Carteret. Craven and Ons low. The waters of these springs are j oat splendid ; we think some day there must be a railroad and hotel there. We were not wholly a stranger;wwe met many friends there, both ladies and gentlemen, and as we said before il we had only been a young, single man we could have been suited in all things. The dinner was spread on the grass all around the yard, and such good things as we saw and tasted will ever be remembered by us. There were as hosts, Sheriff E. Murrill, Bryan Cox and John Cox hisson in law, besides others who made us feel at home. C. Stephens and fam ily, of which we were well acquaint ed, E. B. Harget & Bro., Dan. H. of New Berne, Elijah Loftin of Kin ston, E. L. Francks, sl. and jr., L. M. Tull from Lenoir county, were some of the many we fell in with. The latter gent we were well ac quainted with before the last war, but had not seen him since till this week at the Springs. The music and dancing were enjoyed and par ticipated in by the young folks un til late in the evening, when we left for our home saying, "Well, if we are living and don't go to the next annual picnic at Alum Springs, Onslow county, then it will be be cause we haven't got the stamps! and can't get there. ' Resp'y, Julius, Senator Riddleberger Sentenced to Jail fbf Contempt of Court He N Re. leased by a Sob. Winchester, Va., Aug. 13. A message from Woodstock, Va., says U. S. Senator Riddleberger, who was yesterday sentenced by Judge "ewman. of the County Court, to pay a fine of $25 and be imprisoned for five days, for contempt of court, was released from jail last night by a moo. lhe jailor made but slight i resistance. j The circumstances leading up to; the arrest of Kiddleberger are re lated as follows by an eye wit-1 ness: : On Thursday W. W. Jones was; tried lor larceny and the jury found j that he was insane. Jones was a ! client of Kiddleberger's, and the, verdict made the Senator angry. 1 He was accused of writing a placard j and giving a boy two dollars to haul Jones up and down the town, i the latter displaying a placard I meanwhile, which he had written on it, "Verdict: Bill Jones not guil- j ty, but iusane. Jury' insane: law yers insane: Court insane in the I main." : The noise occasioned by the dis- i play disturbed the proceedings ol the court, and the commonwealth's! attorney, J. C. Baker, had the Judge to issue an order lor the ar-1 rest of Kiddleberger to appear be-! lore Judge ewman and show cause why he Kiddleberger should not be lined and imprisoned for ridiculing the Judge ami the jury, and disturbing the court. At o o'clock Kiddleberger appeared be ' fore the court and defended himself, j He said that Judge Newman had i no j urisdiction in the case, which the Judge denied, and asked Sena ' tor Kiddleberger to sit down until ' evidence could be taken to prove that he ithe Senator was the one who instigated the ridicule, aLd then he said the Court woold hear the argument. Mr. Kiddleberger would not sit down and the Court lined him ?'.". He then defied the Court, and said --this Court shall not send ine lo jail." Judge New man then told the sheriff to take the Senator to jail lor live days. .Senator Kiddleberger said he would like to ee the man who would take him to jail, and sheriff Whitman at once arrested the Senator and locked him up. This action caued much excite ment, and this morning at 1' o'clock a mob ot' one hundred men, sup posed to be from Edinburg iu this county, scaled the walls of the jail yard and took the Senator out on ladders.

The sun was bright and hot and if there is any thing Mt. Holly is noted for it is not shade. Nobody seemed to want shade. Troops of beiles and beaux wander ed over t he grounds forgetful of any warmth, except that ol each other's eyes and hearts.

The speaking began early. Maj. Finger, Dr. Herbert B. Battle, Col'. L. L. Polk and Dr. R. H. Lewis spoke iu the forenoon and Capt. E. R. Stamps and Cols. W. L. Steele and Julian Allen in the afternoon. The oue thiug noticeable today was the almost total absence of all knowledge of what was to be done next. Nobody could tell what would happen; no programme, no public announcements, except of the most general character. The crowd was scattered to the four winds during the speaking .V few people were under the tents, many were at the hotel, many were ;it the exhibition sheds, many more were drinkiug beer. While the afternoon speak ing was in progress a baseball match and a tournament were go ing on. How can a importer be so ubiquitous as to see three things at once when several yards stretch between every two of the things! "Those people are t-he best gov erned who are governed least."

The fair served one very pleasant purpose. It furnished friends from tar and near with good excuses for meeting each other. There are many people here with patents, many with watermelons, and inany with eatables of different kinds. The greatest rush seems to be for the present collection of a few dol lars. The exhibits are small yet. The big day for the exhibits will probably be "tomorrow." I was told yesterday to wait till "tomor row" and I would see something. I waited. If tomorrow has come the something failed to arrive. I was told by a gentleman who lives iu the neighborhood that the people in this section were not in - teresting themselves in the fair, ond it does seem so, for though the fields are smiling with ripening crops, the display of products is not large.

Long, long ago there lived iu Scotland a beautiful lady, an earl's daughter, Jwho was greatly ad mired by all who met her, and who was expected to make a great match. However, she was contrary as girls usually are in affairs of this sort, and chose to give her heart to her father's secretary, a young man named Douglass, who, though of good family, was as poor as the proverbial c hurch mouse. He had seen the Lady Margaret daily for several months, ami had fallen deeply in love with her, but would never have had the presumption to tell her so if she had not first told him that he might do so not in words, but so plainly that he was in no doubt of her feelings. Under such circumstances, what could the poor young secretary do! Assured ly, nothing but respond. He was well aware that the earl would have no mercy on him if they were discovered, but they met in the garden and the park while summer weather lasted. And when winter came, the lady devised a way ( i stealing tlirougU a passage on the lower floor to the portion of ; aggeraled curvature of the spine, the building in Inch the secre Take this ungraceful looking posi tarj's oftice was located, and visit- tion and then give the figure ing him there.

At first she was very cautious, but at last she grew careless and forgot her precautions; and a maid of her step mother's finding her door open, followed her, and dis covered that every evening at j en o'clock, when the earl and his wile were occupied with their guests, she sought the secretary's office r: t he upper part of the castle. Having made certain that this was m. the maid informed her mistress, who determiued to have conclusive proof ot Margaret's conduct by the evi dence of her own senses. Accordingly, when the lovers sat i togeter one night, talking as lovers hae and do and will, a sound was heard below. The countess, her maid, and several servants were ascending the stairs. The doors below were guarded. There seemed to be no escape in that direction. To bolt the door, was but a tem porary safe guard: to s'.ep out upon the battlements of the tower, was only to avoid detection for a moment. But Margaret had deter mined to risk her life rather than bear the tcandal which must rest upon her if she were found in the company of her lover. The building consisted of two towers, separated by a wick1 space. The Scottish girl was strong and active, and, goaded by terror for it was not impossible that Douglass might pny for her indiscretion with his life she hesitated not one moment, but before her lover could guess what she intended to do, took the leap and landed in safety on the j opposite tower, whence she could 1 easily reach her own room, while j Douglass, more dead than alive, j hastened to open the door for the countess. His office was searched; so was every part of the tower; and the lady went back to her own part of the ; that he forgave her indiscretionj and consented to her marriage with the secretary, on whom he bestowed a sufficient fortune. To this day strangers who visit the castle, now a ruin, are taken to see that space between the two towers which is called "The Lady's Leap." Good jumpers say that it is more than they would caro to try, with the certainty of beiDg dashed to pieces if they failed. But they have not the incentives that the Scottish earl's daughter had; and in an emergency most women can do things?thev would deemBimpos- 'sible in cooler moments. M. K. I). How To save Boj.

They will not go to the public houses at tirst for rove of liquor very few i people like the taste of liquor; they go for the animated and hila rious companionship they find there which they discover does so much to repress the disturbing restless ness in their breasts.

I ' American and English Biding. The English people are more im pressed by the magnficent riding at the Wild West Show than they are by any other feature of the exhi bition. The sporting papers devote a great deal of space to a study ot the Aaerican school ol equestrianism. Nearly all of the professional critics agree that the American style ol sitting firmly in the saddle, as if the rider were a part of the horse, instead of rising in the English way, is great ly to bo preferred. Recently an old army officer had a long card in the Times showing the superior points of the cowboy style of riding, and calling upon the P2n glish horsemen to study the style of riding to learn grace, security, and how best to save strenghofthe horse. The stylo of.riding taught in the fashionable English riding schools is the reverse of graceful. The stirrups of the rider are drawn up so short that the rider's knees are brought up nearly to his face. This shortening of the stirrups curls the rider forward so, that he : looks as il kbnrinff nndor an pt. I and vou have a correct idea of the grace and poetry of motion taught in the English riding schools. The rising in the saddle may.be easy, and may do for the parks and short country rides, but can not be compared for a moment with the Western border style of sitting firmly in the saddle holding on by the knees, so that the rider moves only as if he werd a part of the horse. Argonaut. Introduction of Cotton into 1he United Slates. Spain was the first of the Euro pean States to grow cotton. It was introduced here by the Moors in the tenth century, The first cotton was planted in the United States in 1021. "Carroll's Historical Collec tions ol South Carolina'' mention !the growth of the cotton plant in that province in 1G66. In 1736 it was planted in Talbot county, Maryland, latitude thirty-nine north. At the commencement of the revolutionary war, Gen. Del agall was said to have bad thirty acres planted in cotton near Savannah, Georgia. It is stated that in 174S, among the exports of Charleston, S. C, were seven bags of cotton wood, valued at three pounds eleven shillings and five pence a bag. Another small ship ment was made in 1754, and 1770 three more, amounting to ten bales. In 17gG, eight bales shipped to England were seizen on the ground that so much cotton could not be produced into the United States. The first Sea Island cotton was grown on the coast of Georgia in 1780, and its exportation com menced in 1738, by Alexander Bis sel of St. Simons Island. In 1791 the cotton crop of the United States was two mllion pounds, of which three-fourths was grown in South Carolina and one-fourth in Georgia. Ten years later, 1801, forty-eight million pounds were produced twenty million pounds of which was exported. The United States have long since excelled all other, countries in the quantity and quality of the cotton produced. India ranks next in importance in its supply of cot ton to the United States, but its fiber is tar inferior to the American. The other cotton producing coun tries worthy of mention are the East Indies, Egypt, Brazil, the West Indies and Guinea. Ameri can Agriculturist. Charles Siiniuer's Aversion For To- bacco. While Sumner had a critical taste in wines, he took wine only at meals, and then in moderation. He didn't know spirits by their taste. Once when he found that one of big clerks had a flask of whisky in his valise, provided for the journey on which he was about to start, he asked a morsel as a curiosity, and after choking himseli with a swallow taken neat, said it was the first time he had ever tasted whisky and he rather thought it would be the last. On hearing that Bayard Taylor measured a man's capacity for continous literary work by his ability for continous smoking, Sumner re plied that he fancied that what was actually meant was, that a good stomach was the real requisite, as much smoking could not be done without injury except by those who could eat heartily and digest well. But Sumner prided himself upon his ability to eat well with no such aid to digestion. While he tole rated 6inoking, he abominated chewing, and would not permit the presence of a cuspidor in his house much to the disgruntlement of some statesmen who familiarly visited him ; and he spoke with disgust of the conduct of one of our Virginia ministers to the Court of St. Could, who had to deposit a quid of tobacco in one of the great vases at the Tuileries when about to be presented to the Emperor, and the unsavory re membrances in which he was held among the diplomats at that Court in consequence.

There are hundreds of instances of this, but a most amusing one occurred while Dr. Vaughan was head master of Harrow.

The experience of men who have been long in Washington is this: First, that ambitious young men who are poor had far better keep away. So far as the clerkships are concerned tuey are demoralizing, Ihey take the snap, ambition and vigor out of men, and unless early abandoned make mere machines of men. Let no poor youug man come to congress unless he comes determined to save money. It is possible in two terms lor a young man to save, while living respec tably, 10,000. With that he will be able to make a staTt again when he" returns to private life. He will have to make a start No man either engaged in profes sion or active business goes to Congress without injuring his busi ness. Let no poor man. and above all no man of modferate property seek a high office unless he is pre pared to live as simply as Attorney General Garland does. It will re quire heroism and Eelf-sacriQce, but that will be better than debt and misery after leaving office The day when office must be given up win surely come, The poor man who cannot accept official life without the determination of saving some of his salary, will do weu to keep wholly out ol it. Nothing but misery, misfortune and the temptation to dishonor awaits him. One Cabinet officer sold his favor because his income was too small to support his family in the manner they desired. And the young man who is building up a prote8sionai practice should shun public life until he has attained professional success. Two mas ters cannot be served successfully who are so jealous as any of the professions and public office are. Correspondence Philadelphia Press. Liquid Fuel for Ironclads. The Eussian Minister of Marine has ordered liquid fuel furnaces to be fitted to the ironclad Tchesme, now under course of completion at Sebastopol. The decision is one of a very important character, since, although liquid fuel has been ap plied to vessels ot lairly large.dimen- sions, tnis is the nrst time the use of it has been attempted on iron clads. The Tchesme belongs to the fleet of heavy ironclads Russia is now building for the Black Sea. Three are already lannched,and three more are to be constructed at no distant date. The Tchesme, like the Sin ope, launched a few weeks ago, has a displacement ot over 10,000 tons, and carries 10 inches of armor. She is therefore a vessel of the first rank, and if liquid fuel can be sac ces8fully used on board of her, there is every reason to believe that coal will disappear from the furnaces of the Black Sea fleet. That liquid fuel can be employed on mercantile steamers of large dimensions is a well known fact. It is regularly used by between 200 and 300 steamers m Russia, according to Mr. Marvin's "England as a Petro leum Power,'' and some of these vessels are nearly 300 feet long. Over a thousand locomotives and stationary engines in Russia also burn nothing else but liquid luel. Therefore, it is pretty clear that petroleum makes a useful fuel, and that as a heating agent it has taken a regular place after coal and wood. On the Caspian Sea the Russian admiralty has used nothing but liquid fuel for its lleet there for the last filteeu years. The fleet, how ever, consists only ot gunboats and small transports. In the Black Sea it has applied liquid fuel to two or three toepedo boats, and latterly some steamers, built at St. Peters burg for the Oxus, have been fitted with petroleum furnaces. The government now seems to consider the time ripe for further develop ments. The best types of furnaces in use in the Caspian have been called upon to yield collectively the best design for the Tchesme. and in due course the Russian govern ment will solve one waykof the debated question whether liquid fuel is superior to coal on board men-of-war. The advantages claim ed by Russian practice are defined by Mr. Marvin as follows: "Liquid fuel can be turned on or off like gas, thus dispensing with stoking or banked fires; it is clean and emits no smoke. A ton ol liquid luel can do the work of two or three tons ot coal, occupying at the same time, bulk for bulk, about half the space; and this means that either the vessel can go two or three times as far without stopping to coal, or ultilize the bunker space for cargo purposes. In this manner, 1,000 tons of oil not only goes as far as 2,500 tons of coal (according to the type of furnace used), but takes up only the bunker space of 500 or 000 tons, and allows the bal ance of 2,000 tons to be applied to be applied to passenger or cargo puposes." In the case of Russia there is one more advantage which has probably influenced the Minister of Marine more than any of the foregoing tue-lact that by using liquid fuel m the Black Sea, Russia will render herself independent of English coal.

FROM THE MOUNTAIN'S. Editor Jotjrnax: I came to this city after a long waiting for rain in order that the dust might be laid, but did not expect to find the dust all mud. I reached here about the begin ning of the rains which you know prevailed soMong and severely, aud saw A8heville under very disad vantageous circumstances both for me and the city. But very few cities appear to good advantage when it rains every day for two weeks, and I can assure you that this rather exceeds the average in the change from dry to wet. There is much activity on the streets and a large number of vehicles con stantly on the go and hence the excess of dust in dry weather and mud when it is wet. The rains have subsided now and the city s assuming a more presentable ap pearance. Visitors are here in great numbers, but it is said hardly up to the usual in the summer months. This is probably due to the interrupted travel on the rail roads during the heavy rains. The city, as you know, is in a lovely situation as to views, and from the top of Battery Park Hotel the outlook is enchanting. The real estate boom continues and buildings are going up on nearly every street. A party pointed out to me three lots which he bought several years ago for three hundred and sixty dollars and sold them at a loss of $G0 ; they now are worth probobly seventy-five thousand dollars, including improvements that have been put on them. Another party told me that he owned a place here which he bought six years ago for six thousand dol lars and now could sell it for thirty one thousand dollars and would not do it. He is a Richmond connty cotton planter and that may be the reason that ha don't sell. Cotton planters are proverbially hopeful for better prices. The gloomy season of rainy weather was enlivened somewhat by the session of tlie Pharmaceuti cal Association and the magnificent display ol druggist supplies by the wholesale houses of the Northern cities. The grass and grain exhi bition gotten up by Mr. Natt At kinson also came off and was ex ceedingly fine. He sent the speci mens down to the Farmers' As sembly at Mt. Holly and went down in person. Mr. Atkinson is a pushing man and footed the premium list out of his own pocket only aided by Congressman John son who contributed twenty-five dollars in money and a short ad dress to the exhibitors. Professor Smith of Macon, a member of the board of agriculture, also made an address as did Hon. John Nichols who was present possibly looking alter his gubernatorial ience up in this no fence section. Mr. Atkin son in opening the exhibition made some pertinent remarks upon the aims and objects of the display of the products of the sou, he said 40,000 visitors were here each year and he wanted to show them some thing besides the beautiful moon tains. In the Pharmaceutical Conven tion our townsman, F. W. Hancock was accorded the honor of respond ing to the address of welcome by Col. Page, and also elevated to the presidential chair for the ensuing year. The response was very good and happily delivered, bat the newspapers played havock with his name having it O. W. Hancock at one time and at another W. S Hancock; but so that a certain party in Asheville knew who it was I suspect Frank can afford to let the others figure it out. Among the visitors here I had the pleasure of meeting the contes cants ior uuoernatonai nonors in 1862, Senator Vance and Col. Wm Johnson of Charlotte. I did not vote for either so I could meet both on equal terms now that a quarter of a century has allowed the smoke. ol a campaign to clear away. was a subordinate officer in Col. Johnson's department of the State government in 1861 and our rela tions were very pleasant and about once in ten years we meet incident ally and talft over the old times. Prof. Smith and the Colonel were both members of the State Conven tion of '61, and with them I passed through a severe storm while they were here but the Professor was giving us some of his East Tennes see anecdotes which kept onr atten tion on the electric currents, and gave us a shock ol immoderate laughter, one Of them was so good that Col. Johnson urged him to have it published in order that others might enjoy it as we did. I have the outlines of the story and it the Professor does not have it published soon, I think 1 will com mit it to the press myself. '. Asheville, Aug. 12, 1SS7. Education and Matrimony. Girls should remember that meu of genius or of overshadowing liter ary talent have seldom made suc cessful 'husbands. They almost al ways lack domesticity, and love ideas better than their wives. Look at Shakespeare, who lfved at the theatre and club,and, when he died, gave his wife merely his "second best bed stead.'' Think of Milton, who was one of the most domineer ing and uncomfortable of husbands that ever tormented a gentle woman. Think of Byron, and Dickens, and Bulwer, whose mar riages were each a hideous mockery. Think ol Greely and Raymond not to mention other men quite as famous who have had little or no home life. Don't hesitate to mar ry, girls, because the gentlemen who pay suit to you do not pro nounce as you have been taught to do, or do not always observe the indexible rules of English grammer. And unblemished character is more important than a knowledge of music, and good nature more desirable than correct spelling. Better is a stammering tongue where love is than five foreign languages, and a heart with a first mortgage on it held by another girl. Frank Leslie's Weekly. Ten Useful Maxims. 1.
