CHAPERONS.
There exists in society a class of beings
whose wrongs—patiently and amiably as
they appear to be borne—deserve some
consideration at thehands of every one who
posesses tile smallest spark of sympathy for
his fellow creatures, and that is the estima
ble and much • enduring race to whom is
given the distinctive title of Chaperones. It
would be an interesting and valuable addi
tion to contemporary literature were some
diligent person to devote all his powers of
mind and energy of purpose to the discovery
of the•orlgin and nature of their existence.
In the absence, however, of such work' we
must be content with what little can be
gleaned from observation and experience.
As to their origin it would be useless ;here
to bestow much attention. Now alto their
purpose. It must be supposed that thdy are I
intended to protect and look after the giddy
damsels intrusted to their care; it being as
sumed that these damsels are perfectly in
capable of taking care:of themselves, or else
, that there is a doubt as to the propriety they
would observe in their intercourse . with
the men they are likely to be thrown among.
Two young ladies happen to be asked to a
dance at a friend's house; they cannot go
tznless they are escorted by their mother, or
some female who has the requisite qualifica
tions of old age-and being married; so some
cid woman, whose proper place would be
in bed, - or; at any rate attending to duties
of a more serioua character, is to -be drag
ged out and kepefor five or six hours star
,ug in tired: and restless. impatience at a
party of youngpeople supposed to be.enjoy
• lug themselves by undergoing a vast amount
of unneceggavy heat and fatigue. It is - only
reasonable to infer that in a friend's house
young . ladies would be just'as safe—of how -
ever violent a disposition—as in their own
ile•ames. The men they meet there, from
:the fact of their being received in society,
ere presumed to be gentlemen, and conse
quently of unexceptionable character.
What necessity therefore should there he I
to inflict such a heavy penalty on aged
women, to the serious injury oftheir health
:and the undoubted shortening of their lives?
An ordinary London girl who has seen two
-or three seasons is the last person
in-the world to make a fool 'of herself;
she is far too experienced and 'far
too knowing. Moreover, as a rule she
would care about as much for the admoni
tions or remonstranees of her mother as she.
would a torn cat; her ordinary demeanor to
ward her respected parent is at once inso
lent and ungracious. The scenes that night
ly take place at this time of the year, toward
the fag end of thi' evening, are calculated
to impress a contemplative and observant
• mind with anything but an exalted notion
of the perfectibility of the female character.;
Tired and anxious mothers rush up to their
daughters with a "Now, my dear, you pos.
itively must go; it's getting very late, and
the carriage has been waiting these two
hours." To this plaintive appeal the duti
• fat and interesting young creature would
probably deign no answer whatever, but at
once glide off into the maze of the seductive
dance. Main does the persistent and much
• wronged mother, watching her opportunity
attack her daughter. This time she will
perhaps be favored with an answer much to
this effect: "r wish you wouldn't bother;
I'm not going yet I can tell you." The poor
mother has again to retire to her seat, sick
at heart and half dead with fatigue, consol-
ed only by the idea that perhaps her dear
Julie is managing to entrap some guileless
and gilded youth. After a time, and after
much exertion she suceeeds in getting her
daughter nearly out of the room, when lo!
the band stikes pp the "Brighton Pavilion,"
•or some other attractive galop, and with an
"Oh I I must have this .one _dance," the
sweet girl, with her partner rushes back in
the, ballroom. And thus it goes on, until
the attentive philosopher is pos3itively sick
ened at what he sees of this phase of the
fair sex, and more than ever resolved to ex
ercise the greatest care and discrimination
before intrusting his happinew to a woman
—so desirable an example of whom he has
just had the opportunity of studying. Sure
ly the system must be wrong whichpermits,
•or is the cause of, so lamentable an exhibi
lion of the female character an instance of
which can:be seen in any liallicom , in Lon
don. At a public ball it is really -. quite
painful, at an advanced hour of the -night,
to look round the room and see the array of
wearied old women. They have exhausted
their supply oflimall talk and scandal; and
now sit patiently waiting for the blessed
time when their dauchters will be pleased
to go home. Why should they be here ?
They.are only naoure of inconvenience and
annoyance to their charges; serve no pur
pose whatever and would be far better at
home. The faersdon't eome. Trust them:-
Why, then; Should the mothers?—London

Drought and Grasshoppers.
The Cleveland Herald says: "The rava
ges of tbe drought and grasshoppers in cer
tabi sections of the Reserve can no longer.
be questioned. In the Eastern part of this
county, through . Solon, Mayfield, &c., what
the dry ' gather left of the meadows and
pastures, has been eaten by the grasshop
pers,.and now thesekttle beasts are turning
their attention - to the cornfields. - The same
is true of portions of Geauga county, as we
are told by Burton farmers..where the dairy
interests are suffering severely by the two-.
fold calamity_ of drought and grasshoppers.
The farmers contemplate selling a good por
tion of their stock, not seeing it for their
interest to carry it through the coming win
ter. rn Sokin and around there the farmeni
are cutting up their corn,. the stalks not ear
ing out properly, and the grasshoppers seiz
ing what "nubbins" there are. The pota
toes, too, are small, very small, and few in
the hill, and altogether , from the dairy sec
tion of Cuyahoga and Geauga advices are
gloomy."

Churth which she attended. My mother 1 1,gr er • at . smE'SON, Free, Truett{
was a very extraordinary woman, and I
have met very few women like her. My
father was not a well-to-do man, and the
support and education of the familY depend
ed on my mother. She worked night and
day to educate me. I was feeble and lame
in my youth, and as I couldn't work on the
farm she concluded to give me an educa
tion. I tried to repay her afterward, but the
debt of a child to his mother,, you know, is
one of the debts we can never pay. Poor
woman,the very thing I did to gratify her
mcst astened her death. She was very
fond of her dairy and fond of her cows,
and one night going out to look after them
she fell and injured - herself so that she died
soon after." .I-had heard the fact mention
ed that Mr. Stevens had on one occasion
given $lOO,OOO to the poor of Lancaster
county. /" It is not true," he said. , "I
have ne i Ver•been able to do any such thing.
I have been Ofailure in everything. I have!,
failed finandally three times. The first Was
througlfgoing bail and security, and it broke,
up a very fi ne practice I had in Adams
county. The second was throngh the care
lessness of a partner in some iron mills.
Notes 'were presented to me for payment
which I had never executed or known of.
I went to my partner and asked how it was.
He explained that he had beer! losing money
for some time, but as he had induced me to
embark in the enterprise he had ,not the
courage to tell me of the losses, and had
signed the firm name to notes without con
salting me. 'Well,' I said, 'what's to be
done ?' He began to makes piteous mouth,
but I cut him short. don't come to up
braid you,' said; come to get at the
facts.' I looked over the books and saw
that we were deeply involved. Then' I
said to him, 'You take the works and pay
all claims, releasing me entirely.' He de
clined, and I at once said, 'Then I will,'
and it was thus the iron works near Chum
bersburg camp into my possession. The
third time failed was when the rebels
burned these works. My friends in Lan
caster and elsewhere raised about $lOO,OOO,
which they tendered to me, but I declined
it, and it went to the poor fund, but I did
not give it. I managed to get through my
trouble, and have 'never taken advantage of
a bankr uptl law yet."
TA editor of the Paris Magazine, a very
able, but not very prosperous Paris weekly,
applied recently to Henri,de Rochefort, ediror
of La Lanterne, the most successful French
journalist of the day, for advice as to the
steps they should take in order to make their
paper financially successful. He told them
to shun, above all things, long articles, and
never to publish any thing containing more
than one,hundred and fifty lines: "For
merly," he says, "people west home with a
magazine, put on their dressing gown and
slippers and read until dinner time, But
now they keep their boots on and read in
walking. üblish plenty .of small items,
intrepilets, separated by considerable spaces.
The public does not thank you for giving it
more 'copy' than it demands. Our readers,
it is true, like good editorials, but most of
them, as soon as they °lieu their journals,
look in the local columns in order, to see if
Mademoiselle Marie Roze has found her
little dog again.
-THE APPROACHING .ELECTIONB in Eng
land, according to an intelligent observer in
that country, will result as follows : First,
the Liberals will have a very decided ma
jority in the new Parliament; secondly,
these Liberals will. be 'pledged to support
Mr. GladstOne in a very different manner
from that in which they supported him last
session; thirdly, the majority of the House
will be united on behalf of a clear and defi
nite prograiime, and will be compelled to
adhere together so long as the Question of
the Irish Church remains undecided; and
lastly, the House will be composed of men
whose politics, whether ministerial or op
posiqpn, will eventually be tinged with
praptical conservatism inherent in the pos
session of wealth and station. These con
ditions are not uniformly favorable to the
Liberal dans°. Still they are vastly more
so than have been known of late years.
THE COPPER PRODUCE.—The estimated
consumption of copper in the United States
is from twenty-five to thirty , million pounds
annually. From 1858 to 1267, inclusive,
the Lake Superior mines have produced
88;488 3-10 ton., of copper. T.he Lake Su
perior mines produced about one-half of the
annual consumption of copper in the United
States; while California, Maryland, Ver
mont, North Carolina, Virginia and Ten.:
neasec produced the other half of what is
consumed annually. The imports from
Canada, Cuba, Chili, &c., are counterbal
anced by the exports of domestic copper.
