MAFTHr I Inl pa FIBST EDITION 33 It 73he Stockholders After the Usurpers Gould, Fisk, lane, and Their Confederates Suspended A Grand Conspiracy Unmasked. The New York Timet of this morning has theol JowIiir: The litigation that has been going on for the lost year or two against the unscrupulous usurpers who, by weans of a conspiracy which for boldness and fcutuslty has no parallel on record, have gained pos ik'hmkiii and control of the Krle Hallway, 18 about to ' culminate In a thorough exposure and, It Is to be tmied, a merited Ipuolabmeiit or tho guilty parties. Ike stockholders and bondholders of the road who have witnessed with iUent amazement the operations or those feold and daring men who, by a sort of legerdemain Which they could scarcely comprehend, usurped exmtrol of their property and squandered It by mil lions in reckless extravagance and riotous living, ave at last aroused themselves, and are determined to know whether there Is any such tiling as law and Justice In the lBnd, or whether laws are framed and AurU established In the State or New York to pro tect conspirators and nphold apparent wholesale jobbery. An action has been commenced by Josrph II. Bainscy, a well-known and highly-esteemed citizen of Albany, on behalf of the stockeoiders and bond holders of the Krio Railway, against Jay Gould, James Flsk, Jr., Frederick A. Lane, and other lead kig conspirators in the present management of that corporation, which Is designed to ail'ord a 11 mil solu tion of these questions, In order that honest property holders may hereafter know what protection they have In this community against the schemes of un scrupulous adventurers and knaves. Mr. Ilamsey holds some of the Buffalo Branch bonds, somo of the sterling bonds, some fifth mortgage bonds, some of the pre ferred stock, and some of the common stock of the Erie Kallroad. and on behalf of all stock and bond holder and all creditors of the company he brings this suit, lie briefly recites the history of the Erie Hallway Company, that on the ruins of the old Krio . Kallroad Company nnder a law of 1880, a new com- fiany was formed, assuming the mortgages and glv ng preferred stock for the floating debt of the old company, the prererred stock amounting to S,fi36, 910, giving the holders a right to 7 per cent, out of the earnings, postponed oui.y to the Interest on tho mortgages; that at this time, arter various conver sions of bonds Into stock, there wag but f ,M,265,0()0 of common stock and 15,000,000 of convertible bonds of the company; that in 1H2 the Erie Hallway took a 4i9-year lease of tho Bull'ulo branch of the road, but nnder the management of Gould, Fisk, and Lane, In October; last, a default was made In the payment of the rent to the great peril of the Krle Company: that In isos the road issued 15,000,000 of sterling bonds ; that , down to 1867 the directors of the company were men or high character not engaged in stock speculations . except Mr. Drew, and except Mr. Lane, who, It is alleged, forced himself Into the board by purchase of proxies, but was powerless for mischief till isei. Down to January, l6t. it is alleged the company regularly earned dividends on Its preferred stock, and had paid dividends on Its common stock, and had developed the road, without getting Into serious lltlgatlen. That In January, 180S, the character of the new management, not being developed, lis (irst mortgage bonds stood at 101, Its second mortgage - at 102, its third at 97,', its fourth atll)f, its Uf tit at 8) its preferred stock at 74, and its common stock at fa, giving a total value of stock and bonds (ex cluding sterling bonds) of f4l,C.V,845-90. Beside these bonds, however, the Erie Koad was liable on some millions of Long Dock bonds. Their stock at this time was about K71 engines, 243 passenger and 4040 freight cars. It employed about ta.ooo men. its main road was 459 miles, its leased roads Sii'i miles. That the project of aiding the construction of the Boston, Hartford and Krle Koad, of which Mr. Kld ridge was President, had been previously much considered, bnt Kldridge, not satisfied with what the old directors tliougnt proper to ao, arid ne ana casting about for reinforcements, found "on Gould, who had had some small railroad exper .on a little road near Lake Cliamplaiu, and one J old directors thought proper to do, and he and Lane "one Jay sperience ne James I'lsk. Jr.. then lately from Boston, where he had been carrying on some sort of dry goods business," and then took them into their secrets as being qualified for the attempt in band; that the four conspired together to obtain, and did obtain, by proxies, ror their own interests ana those or the Boston, Hartford and Erie road, control or the election of directors, ami elected themselves, Mr. ICldridge's brother-in-law, Mr. Eld ridge's counsel, James 8. Whitney, interested in tho Boston road ; William Evans, resident in England, and others, directors, six of the old directors beiug left out; that thereupon Drew took Underwood's place as Treasurer, and the bonds of the Boston road, to the extent of tlve millloiiH, were guaranteed; that Eldridcre and Gould were got iiito tho Executive Committee.

The New Orleans Jtrvubliean, of November if, gives the following particulars of a singular acci dent: Last evening, about o'clock, two employees in the candy storo and manufactory of C. H. Miller, Nob. 60 and 62 New Levee street, corner ef Natuh.es alley, were engaged on the lower floor hoisting a case of torpedoes to an upper story. By an unfortu nate circumstance tho fastenings were Hot secure, and, while hoisting it, the box, containing twenty five thousand "Young America'' torpedoes, fell to tho basement, resulting in tho death of two persons and the wounding or several others. George Uatitz, who was standing alraoBt under the hatchway, must have been killed so instantaneously that he nevor knew what happened to him. The other lad killed was John Boss, also a candy-roller, and at the tune or the disaster was standing near Gantz. 1 he force of the explosion threw his body the distance of twenty feet, mangling him horribly, so that it was difficult to rccogiii.o him. , , August Hccner, another of the employes, who was on the lower floor at the time, was badly wounded, but as ho was immediately sent to his home, corner of Jackson and Tchopitonlas streets, we did not see him. His limbs and arms are severely Injured. There wero a down persons In the store and wareroom at the time, but, singularly enongh, none others than mono mentioned were iiarmcci. Mr. Miller, the proprietor, wa near the spot, and was covered with dirt from the explosion. The partition between the wareroom and the tront store, on which was a range or shelving loaded with goods, was torn ami shattered considerably. The articles were thrown down and scattered In every direction. The torpedoes are or a newly-Invented kind, such as children use during tho holidays, and are composed or more than the ordinary amount of combustibles, making a loud noise when thrown down. The shock was so great that the revci-bcra-lion was heard as far oil' as Lafayette Square, and caused a largo gathering of people, who supposed that a boiler had burst. Torpedo Kxploslon In (Jnlveston. We take from the Galveston Sewn of the 16th inst. an account of another explosion, which resulted dis astrously to me. Taken in connection witn the recent disaster in New Orleans, this misfortune merits attention. From the report, it would appear that the boxes containing the torpedoes bad no dis tinguishing mark upon thera. Is not this a reck less trilling with human life ? If children are to bo furnished with these toys, let the dangerous charac ter of their contents be written plainly upon the box containing them. The failure to do this was the cause or the Galveston explosion. The Sews account is as follows: Just as we were going to press yesterday, an ex plosion was heard In the direction of the upper wharve, which caused a general rush for the scene of the accident. The explosion was found to have occurred at Bean's wharf, from the blowing up or a box or torpedoes, such as boys are in the habit or playing with. The case containing the torpedoes had been landed from the steamer Ariadne, and was lying ou the whrf. They were consigned to Mr. Kamp, of Market street, and from what we could learn, the draymen were in the act or loading them on their drays when the explosion occurred. One of the draymen, Charles Wilson, was in stantly killed, and another, by the name of Burns. Mas badly hurt. His left ankle was dislocated, ami there are numerous flesh wounds on different parts of his body. It appears that there was another man besides those spoken or severely hurt by the explosion yesterday, but we could not learn his name. Burns, who has been sent to the hospital, Is very seriously Injured. He will probably lose the use of his ankle Joint, if he escapes less serious disaster. A nail from the box was driven full length Immedi ately into the Joint, aud so firmly planted that It re quired all the strength of the attending physician to remove It. The planking of tho wharf was broken In for a length of two planks: the material being shivered as If struck by lightning. Tho boxes aud bags of freight In the neighborhood arc sent and scattered in every direction. It appears there was no mark on the box to distinguish It from ordinary boxes of mer chandise, nor did the officers of Hie vessel have any warning of tho dangerous character of the freight they were carrying. THE CONFEDERATE ARMY. Ortcnnlznlloii of a Kurvlvore.' Association Jus tice Tor "Those Who Died (Gloriously lor Liberty." A convention of delegates from the several dis trict associations in South Carolina or survivor or the Confederate army was held la Charleston last week. General J. B. Kershaw presided, and on taking tho chair expressed his regret that his "'gal lant comrade, (General Wade Hampton, the repre sentative man of South Carolina In this connection," was not present to act in his stead. To explain the objects of the meeting, he read the call and some re solutions adopted by thc Charleston Association. These resolutions declare that: Whertax, The memories of the late war between the Confederate and United States of America are now fresh in the minds of its survivors, and many records do now exist which time and neglect will certainly destroy, it is highly desirable to have these records and these recollections put in such substantial form us to resist the ravages of time; ami whereas, we have no government which will collect and preserve the history or those transactions, oi wiiieu we are proud, it is therefore the duty of all South Caro linians t place the history of the late war la its true light before the world, In order thut tlioso who fought and died for their country may have, not only the re wurd or their distinguished patriotism, but the Jus tice which their achievements deserve; anil whereai, the Survivors' Association or any single district may do much in collecting and preserving these record, yet because or the intimate association existing during the war between all the troops or the state, the work will become proportionately less onero'is and much more effective ii the survivors or tue whole State were to unite In a common effort; there fore, be it itrnotvi-a. l. That tne survivors' Assoctatioa or Charleston district earnestly Invite the survivor of each district of the Stat, where associations of re cord do not now exist, to form District Associations composed of tho survivors of the Confederate army and navy, to collect and preserve the records of the late war. 8. That the various District Associations be Invited to send Ave delegates to a convent ion to meet at our hall In Charleston, on Thursday, November 18, lsi;9, to form a State Survivors' Association for the pur poses set forth In the next resolution. s. j nst tue primary oojeci oi mo proposed oiate Survivors' Association Is the preservation of all mat ters of history connected with mo lato war: that the proposed means of accomplishing this object is the esiuiiiisnincni oi a Mate iiurtan, under the control of tho Male Association, where all original matter shall be regularly aud conveniently tiled away tor tho refcreuce of such persons as the Asso ciation may see lit; that the secondary object of the proposed State Association, the future develop, ment of which is left to the action of the statu Association, is the preparation ol a standard South ern historv, and smaller school histories, in which ttie purl the Confederacy bore In the lato war may be properly related to the world, and that the rising generation may be taught that their parents were not the vile traitors that the common school histo ries now prepared by our enemies assert. General Wade Hampton was elected President of the Association. "laEPTOMAXIA. A HlmuP Vn In Ciiielminll The rropeimlty lo rMenl Inherent. The Cincinnati Time has the following: W e have been mado acquainted with one of the most singular cases of kleptomania of which we have ever heard, the person subject to tho strange malady being the wile of a well-known wealthy business man. The tendency ror shoplifting, and other steal ing, wns llrbt noticed about a yearsince, when she was detected In secreting under tho ample rolds of her velvet cloak a bolt of costly silk. The goods were returned, and an agreement to not prosecute on her promising to re I rata from any act of the kind In the future, ror some time she kept her promise, but, after a while, the old habit caum bu :k and she was caught in the act of stealing a linn ring in one of our Jewelry stores. Owing to the respect for the hus band, und tho fact that ho settled for the jewelry, the matter was dropped, as has been the case iu more than a dozen Instances since. Another phase of her stealing Is to accept invita tions to parlies, where sho will wutch her opportunity and take furs, cloaks, bonnets, or anything else lu her way. , , Her husband has time aud time again remon strated with her for her conduct, picturing the cer tain ruiu to come, ail of wuicn sue acknowledges, but also claiming that she cannot withstand the t4mrt1jLtfnn. There la not the least cause for her light-Angered Dronensiiies. as her own lewetry and clothing is a great deal more costly than any she has stolen, aud one of the singular features of ber case is that she has never been known to wear any article tkat she has stolen. The haslmnd has consulted the family physician, one of the most eminent la the city, who gives the opinion that the strange conduct is the result or disease and not te be attributed to a na tural wuuuguesa to steal. SECOND EDITION LATEST BY TT3LHQXLA.FXX. Secretary Boutwell Does not Favor Immediate Resumption The Funding1 of the Na tional Debt. Social Equality Triumph of the Ten nessee Liberals School Teachers' Convention The Millers McCoole and Allen, FROM WASHINGTON. SrrrMnry HoiifwelPN Pnnltton on Iho Klnnnrlal (luCMilon A Port'slifulowliiK of ltl iteporl. Special Despatch to Tne Jivenimj Telegraph. Washington, Nov. 25 Several times of lato tome of tho enterprising; newspaper correspon dents on duty here havo announced, on pre tended official nuthorlty, that Secretary Bout well was in favor of a ppeedy resumption of specie payments, and would even go so far as to recommend, In his forthcoming anuual report, the fixing by Congress of a certain time at which such resumption 6hould be commenced. I am enabled, on the highest and most unquestiona ble authority, to pronounce these statements as being utterly groundless. Not only docs the Secretary of the Treasury not favor tho Imme diate resumption of specie payments, but in his report he will deprecate any attempt on the part of Congress to force such a policy upon tho country. The Secretary holds that tho resump tion of specie payments before tho busi ness interests of the country were fully prepared for it would cause a greater de rangement than we have yet been afllictcd with. Tho financial condition of the country is bad enough, as it Is; and, although it Is steadily improving, any attempt to forestall the natural course of events by mischievous spe cial legislation would throw everything Into con fusion, bring about a relapse of tho late extrcmo depression in all classes of business, nnd result eolcly in still further postponing the dsiy when a concerted and systematic attempt at resumption could be undertaken with a prospect of success. The Secretary believes that tho first requisite to a practicable resumption is a restoration of business activity throughout the country, which will react upon tho credit of tho Government, and cause its promises to be accepted for their full face. The cause of the premium upon gold is found, not in the fact that specie is worth Intrinsically more at tho present time than It w as ten years ago, but In the fact that the credit of the Government is below pnr, and its paper not worth, in tho markets of the world, as much as it claims to be. With a general resumption of business activity would come a strengthening of both private and public credit, an Increase in values, and the restoration of a healthy feeling which would pave tho way for a practical re sumption of specie payments, to insure which no legislation whatever would be necessary. The Funding of the Debt. The reports ot Mr. Boutwell's anxiety to secure the funding of tho public debt, and a lowering of the rate of Interest paid by tho Government, however, are quite correct. The Secretary believes that the nation Is now paying a much higher rate of interest than Is warranted by the necessities of the case, and tho only manner in which the rate can be decreased Is by the issue of a new and uniform loan, from the proceeds of which the Government can buy up its old bonds. It is the general lmprcsslou In the highest ofllelal circles here, that a Govern ment loan to tho amount of five huudred mil lions of dollars, the principal of which should be unquestionably payable in gold, would be taken at once In European markets at a much lower rate of Interest than wo are now lm'in The measure of uncertainty which still prevails as to whether all our bonds are payable In hard money, it Is believed, would materially assist the placing of such a loan on the European markets.

Just as the citizens of this place were enjoying their Thanksgiving dinner, a terriblo tragedy wai enacted at tne snerman House. For some time past it has been known to the family or Mr. Daugherty that a scandalous and untruthful report was in cir culation touching the character of Miss Daugherty. The report went back to a time when the family re sided at Indianapolis. Tho scandal was traced to the lamlly ot Vanhorn. A member or this ramlly was talked to npon the subject, and Joseph Vanhorn was given as the authority, it was also believed be yond any question that Joseph Vunhoin had uttered the scandal in a public room in presence or acquaint ances and strangers. On Wednesday night Lieutenant Will Daugherty, ot tho regular army, a brother or Miss Daughertv, returned home on furlough, when tho facts becauie known to Mm, On Thursday at noon Lieutenant Daugherty, In company with his rather, came to tho Sherman House. Joseph Vanhorn was there just inside the barroom door. Lieutenant Daugherty left the stove In the oillce, where he had stopped a mo ment, nnd went Inside the bar-room, confronted Vanhorn, when the following conversation oc curred : "Is your name Vanhorn V "It is." "You liavo been slandering my sLster, and yon must retract It or take the consequences." "I will not retract It." (Here there is a difference or testimony. One man says Vanhorn dented ever uttering the slander. An other says he declared he would not retract, aud he (Daugherty) could not make him do so.) Lieutenant Daugherty then began to reel for his revolver, Baying: "I will sec whether yon will or not." Ho coolly took out his revolver and cocked it, when Vanhorn, seeing what vai coming, dodged downward to the door. The lirnt shot wai just then Bred, but It took eflect in the door. Vanhorn then attempted to run round a screen, bnt Lieutenant Daugherty met him, and lired, the ball entering bis left breast. Vanhorn then tried to get around htm and out of the room when another discharge took effect iu his right breast. Vanhorn then ran Into the oillcn, but did nit make the short turn he attempted, v huu auother discharge took eil'ect. In bis back. He then ran northward throurh the oillce, east to the diniug-room, north to tho room door leading to the family room of Mr. Faulkner. Here he fell. At every jump the blood gushed from his mouth. After he fell he said, "I am killed," and then, breathing heavily a few times, he died. Lieutenant Daugherty was taken before tho Mayor. waived on exunituation, nnd freely went to Jail to await tne action oi the Grand Jury, which will muet next Monday. We may add that rew persons had ever heard the scandal; that none would have believed it. anil that the Daugherty ramlly are or the highest respecta bility, we may also say tn it tne deceased, who was a bricklayer, although addicted to drinking to some excess, was not a quarrelsome man among stran gers. He has had trouble In his own family, aud his w ife was divorced from him at the late term of court. The city, ulthough at first excited, is now cool, excepting always two or three persons. Without knowing whether Jonenh Vanhorn was guilty of circulating the report or not, may we uot deduce tne following moral: "it is wen cj cireu lute no evil report of our neighbors. It Is just and proper to hold no Intercourse with gissippew? " The writer hereof hud a conversation with Lieu tenant Daughtery since the assault. He did not an pear in the least excited, as he was not when the assault was made. He said to us: "I regret most sincerely th necessity for the occurrence, but, nnder the tame circumstances, I could not but repeat the camo thing to-morrow, or at any future time." Wo Miould be pleased to comment at length upon the sad calamity, bnt are willing to leave the case to our courts, which will, we know, do justice. HYDROPHOBIA. A Terrible Death. From the Lexiniton Kg.) Observer, Our city, on Thursday,, was the scene of one of those neaiT-rcmnng occurrences a ueatn uy nyuro phobio. The victim of tho fearful malady was a young man by the name of John Alexander, sou of Mr. J. W. Alexander, who kept a confectionery ou Limestone street, between Main and Short. The pin tlculars of the sad case are most distressing. The young man had been bitten by a rabid Jog as long ago as the night or thu2nthof hist August. Wlule walking along Third street a dog ran out or an alley, nnd without even a premonitory bark, silently but fiercely seized him by the cair or the leg, biting clear through the boot. Mr. Alexauder suc ceeded lu kicking him off, but ho came at him again and bit his hand, the teeth meeting through it. He did uot know at the time that the dog was mad. He sought professional advice, but was assured by the phvblcian that ho was In li' danger. The scratcliesand wouuds healed quickly, and he tuought uo more alKiut tho matter until last Tuesday nlglit, when, after being Initiated a member of the Ashlaud I odgu of Good Templars, he experienced, on taking a drink f water, a most singular and unpleasant feelin" In his throat, but ho toon got ovrsr it. Ho was tri ubltd With nothing moro unpleasant until Wednesday afternoon at about 4 o'clock, wnen, on again attempting to tiHo a Blasi of water, ho found he could not drlufc. Ho then Immediate! suspected the cause of hs sickucss, aud determined to fully tent It. He tried to lore water into hu mouth with a bpoon, but his arm gave a spas'uodio jerk, sending the spoun flying through the elr, and hu fell bock umitrved, and wild and sick, both from the elt'ects of the niaiad and the uorriblo certainty of his rapidly approaching fate. lie was confined to his b"d all N e.ln-sday nijht. On Tiiursduy morning he got rapldiy worse, and continued to suffer most terribly till tho tiina of his iteiith. The auouv he endured no words can de scribe, aud the physicians a; tending lit ui said hi wero the most fearlul sufferings they ever had wit nessed. He honk-d and snarled aud barked like a dog. He scratched and clawed ut the bed-clothing until It was almost torn to shreds.

A XUTatrimonielly Disposed Gen tleman Advert sas to a Fart -ner for Life, and Receives Replies fto ji Inqui sitive and Anx ious Y.OTXUi Ladies. A We rting to Girls and their Parent. A Varied and Interesting Cor respondence. Girls seemingly got into a great deal of tronbks, and generally of their own free wlil and accord, aa will be fully displayed by the following intensely en tertaining, not to say interesting correspondence. Here we find that a gay Lothario, with a fair amount of check, mingled with considerable confidence, goes into the advertising columns of, how many newspapers we can't undertake to say, and adver tises that he wants a wife, giving at the same time a Biinute description of the young lady that will suit him, together with such other "petsonai" matter aa . will lead those who read his advertisement Into a perfect knowledge of tho writer himself aa lie makes himself appear in public. That the gentleman is Bucccssrul in securing the concspondence, if not the acquaintance and confidence, of a number of sllly mlndcd girls, there can scarcely be no reasonable doubt, for some of the letters which we present In eur subjoined collection betray a sincerity to be at once deplored and wondered at. Here we And the young miss who has Just returned from the fashionable boarding-school and donned long dresses, BeUing the opportunity to make the acquaintance of some unknown adventurer, not that she thinks that any harm will ever come of the matter, hut because her love of a little "luuocent fun" leads her to take a step which she may regret all her life. She consoles herself that she Is far away from the Lothario with wtum she Is corresponding, nnd rlismlRScs all Ideas of wrong with the thought that she has given a ficti tious nimic, and that hc will drop the whole affair when Ehe shall have developed her correspondent and had a little fun at lib expense. Poor child ! how often Is die tho victim ! I.-t trie annals of our courts and the cnn. mag. of fashionable society give tha answer. Others beetles tho '-Innocents" indulge in the amusement of writing to Lotharios. Souio or them betray a quickness mid Bhrcwdncns that would naturally load one to suppose that they would be clear of indulging in 141 y such undertaking; but, alas! they frequently presume on their shrewdness, apparently forgetting that the man who advertises are 110 donbt as cunning aa they, and frequently consi derably more so. The natural curiosity or the young ladies also lends its aid la prompting aa Indul gence in answering the anonymous correspon dent, and as samples of searching curlosisy and ingenuity some of these iettcrs will bear a critical examination. On the other hand, we find specimens of those fair creatures who, confident of their own power, and familiar with the workings of that class or people who would be most apt to go into a newspaper for the purpose or finding a wire, enter Into the fun with the avidity of old sportsmen, without rear of the consequences which may buful them, and even tually console themselves with the Idea that, at any rate.it can make no particular diil'crence te them, us their wealth and position In society render them invulnerable, so far as the tongue of gossip is con cerned. They are hlgli-toncd, highly respectable youug ladies, uncir fathers number among the leading men of the day, and perching themselves upon the pedestal of their own greatness, and shel tered behind the curtain of respectability, they in dulge In the same sports and pastimes as their more' plebeian neighbors, ana for which ttiey are ever ready and willing to hold all others, save themselves, up to ridicule and scorn. Instructed in tho classics, to tho utter absence of anything useful, they prosti tute their learning to base purposes, aud, as some of our collection will show, are ready and willing to tmcklo to their despicable curiosity at tho risk or bringing disgrace and shamo upon all of their name. But there are among those who have chosen to answer this gay Lothario's personal those who are entitled to our keenest sympathy and absolnte pity. One In particular has attracted onr attention. The paper upon which the note is written is of the com monest description. Tho envelope bears no Initial stamped upon its back, as do most of the others; the sweet perfume and delicate traces of tho fashionable and well-kept boudoir are absent, butthechirography is plain, exquisitely nent, and beautiful in every par ticular. Bho tells tha story of tho poor, badly-paid working girl, ltearcd, perhaps, la tho lap of luxury, poverty has driven her step by step down the hill of adversity, uulil we find her on tho hrlnk of shame aud ruin. Maddened by the straits of poverty, crowded Into a sphere far below her deserts by the Inflexible rules of society ; goaded by the pains and privations forced upon her by the cruel system of pajlug for woman's labor far below what it is worth, she stands, according to her own showiug, ready to sacrifice herself ou tho altar of degradation, that she may present herself to the world in such dress aa shall give her a ttttta among those who value a human being rorthe exterior, and who seldom take the pains to look below tho surface. Few ideas heroin e prcKsed arc derived from the letters, as they have fallen Into our hands, but we have not overdrawn the picture. Too much of it is ludeed true ! The letters thut will no doubt excite the greatest attention are those whoso chirography is really "stunning," and whose orthography may bo set down as specimen "bricks." Uut what is still more wonderful than tho writing or spelling la the fact set forth lu ono or two o; the epistles, that tho writer has a good education. One or more plays "magnifi cently" on tho "planer," and, without exception, all dress in tho highest style or tho urt, and when seen on the street or at the bull would be apt to b set down as numbering among tho beau monde. A final word to young ladles aud their parents. Girls, we have kept your names out of print, not that we value your "incog." (some or yoa are sailing nnder your own proper names), but because we hope that this ventilatioa or your 'run" will serve to teach you the utter impropriety or your lino or con duct, and stay your hand when again your curiosity or love ot run shall prompt you to answer au auony. mous correspondent. Further, the niau who adver tises lor a wife or correspondent (both mean the same thing when properly construed) is seldom, ir ever, the kind or man to make a home agreeable or a wire happy, lie is usually some needy adventurer, who has neither caste nor character to recommend him; and when you cultivate his acquaintance you cer tainly have no good reason to complain if you are cruelly deceived and made to blush at yonr own shame. Parents, to yon most especially would we com mend the perusal or this correspondence. It may call to your attention a rer ldlosyuoraclea which need correcting, and bring to your mind more vividly the necessity or guarding well your child, ere she ap proaches the brink or the precipice, a tumble rrom which leads to certain destruction. It can be of uo particular interest to anybody to lWfuud on (As &cwi to-.) ( 7
