MISCELLZEST "UT_
AN '.ES.SA ON GALS.'
I.V 1 • iI.MiOD si'lF a -.
Mr. liddijtor. —My s'.li jeel is Gais.
and in treatin on em i sbail endeavor
t • be . iumiiiou- pcr.-pi • ive as •
possible considerin the cireitmstances."
Gals are of mem y ami various kinds; :
j for ex: inartingals, prodigals, l'email
gals, yeller gals and tomboys. But I
it i-- of the femail gal I shall • cctL
especially in this < a, as I've had
iiioro experience with this sort than
any other variety, particularly afore
and sen.-e 1 staid to §aliy ilariu, what
now l eais the novn name of §piuks. ,
Gals are ot imieii and diflerent sizes,
so you can't judge on 'em hy the euii- 1
co they carry—dcceiven to the eye—
and not very hcf'iy. They are also oi
different ages—l've known 'em to go
as high a> 57 and still remain gals to
all intents and purposes, but they usu
i ally range from 17 to 25. of which
age- il is not difficult to find fullblown
specimens.
They are pretty well distributed ovi r
the eouiiii-y. hut very skarse in Orcgan
and Caiiforny, where a shiji load was
sent the other day to supply the mark
et ; the home demand ain't so good as
'twas afore tho war, but 'lis thought
to be improvin' lately. Their occupa
tion consists mostly of s{-imiin' street
yarn, cryshaying, reading-torie- and
talking about the young men. Some
on em have been known to take holt
and heip their mothers to do the work
bout tho house, but they're all spoke
for. Of sieh was .gaily Maria afore
said
There's a great difference in 'em,
j 'cording to the time of day you hap
pen to see 'em. li it's morion', they
look cross and dishclothy, and like a
broomstick dressed up in a meal bag.
Reason why, is cos they ain't tixed up;
and no man, unless lie'- married, has
any right to look at'em until after
noon when they get fixed up; with
their tlammydidoles onto 'em. 1 lug
looted to state that they vary in cullir
. 'cording to circumstances, and like j
: the kamelyon are red or white to suit
the occasion. They are very ehanga
■ ble iu temperature, ranging all the
> way from sulky to clever and smiling.
The last degree can be reached most
, any time by promissing 'em a new
-; a ou ; n '
i They have queer notions 'bout tho
close they wear ; have their dresses
short to the top and long to the bot
, torn so as to ketch up the old hoops
. and cigar stumps at I to keep the side
> walks clean, and they wear mull's to
keep their hands warm, and shoes with
paper soles to 'em. They don't think
so much of their own hair as they
used to, when they carried it around
in little bags on their shoulders; but
now they wear catacomb- and l'olde
i j rols made of other, wi in men's fetched
>! over from foreign countries, where they
• raise it for sale and sheer 'eni regular
s like they do slice]). What they wear
- 'em for hasn't yet been discovered. I
; I asked Sally Maria once and -he said it
■' was ntfno of my biz : so I naturally
ISZHHLStf OiAiSiJTa IRSSIfc
concluded it was'nt. They like to !
wear things like the other sext. and A
have -acceded in divers cases —except
in pulling off their shoes with a boot j
jack—therein they failed. But they j
don't swear nor chaw tcrbacker, which ',
is a remarkable fact considering their i
hankering arter the fashions and the
bad habits -et afore 'em.
One singular fact about 'em, in ma
ny eases, is alter they get to be nine
teen they don't grow older for several
years. Don't know why but suppose
ils their natur.
Take 'em all around they're queer
critters. They most always say no
when they mean yes, and cry when
they :e tickled. The best way to get
em to do a thing is to tell 'em they
shan t, and the only way to drive 'em
is hy coaxing, and tho better they like
a fellow the worse they'll talk about
him. The clever ones grow up and
git married, and the ugly ones grow
lip to be old maids, who keep pet torn
eats and take care of other people's
■ babies.
Finally, gals are a great institution
which we couldn't dispense with.—
They're handy lo have round picnics i
and parties, and to play Copenhagen
witii. Long may they wave. Yours
to command. 1. S.

A Tunny but Sensible Speech.
1 he \Y i scons in Legislature had for- j
inafy considered a proposition to abol- ;
;sh all laws collection of debts
1 he mover of the bill, Mr. Elmyre, is
a great wag, as evinced by the follow- j
ing extract from his speech on that
subject:
The speaker proceeded to review the
present system of collecting debts. It j
was all a humbug and a client, a mat- |
tor of technicalities and legal shufling.
Lawyers gave advice in order to oh-I
tain lees and encourage litigation.
Judges made blunders and mistakes,
lie had a little experience in law and
that was rich. [Laughter.] He would
give a history of it The speaker thou
related how he had purchased a yoke j
of oxen about 15 years ago — paid fifty i
do!la2 s :or them—a few days after, the i
son o! the man of whom he had pur
cha.-cd the oxen came to him and said
they' were his. lie insisted on having
Fey over ; gain, and commenced a suit .
before a justice. The jury didn't
agree. Finally, through the Basswood j
Justice of the I'eace, .the ease went
against him. lie appealed it to the j
('•reuit Court in .Milwaukee. There I I
lost again, and said to my lawyer: I I
will give you ten dollars to quote Bonn- 1
t sylvania law to Judge Miller; and get
. a new trial ordered. [Great laughter.]
lie took the ten dollars and perform
ed his duty.
A new trial was then granted, and
the venue changed to Walworth coun I
ty. Judge Irwin was then on the;
