•gittslnagt etaidtt. .--.-------- BMllty of MOBS. Men do not care for brains i excess ect in women. They like a sympathe n tic intell which can follow them, and seize their thoughts as quelt as they are uttered, but 'they do not in ich care for any clear or spe cial knowledg of facts; and even the most, i ;philosophic an. Ong them would rather be,, - set right in a classical quotation, an astro-' nomical calculation, or the exoct bearing of a political ouestion by a lovely being of tarlatanO whom be• was graciously unbend ing to instruct. Neither (13 they want any thing strong minded. To most men, in deed, the feminine strong mindedness that can discuss immoral ptoblems without blushing, and despise religious obselvances as useful only to wealt souls, is a quality a.s unwomanly as a well developed biseps or a huge fist would be. It is sympathy, not an tagonism; it is companionship; not rivalry, still less supremacy, that:they like in women, and sonic women with brains, as well as learning—for the two are not, the same_ thing—understand this. Others, enthusiasts for the freedom of thought and intellectual rights, show theirs defiantly, and meet. with their reward. Yen shrink from them. Even cleveroun meon, able to meet them on their own grd, d not feel drawn to them, while all but high class Min& are dwarfed and, humiliated by their learnUig" and , their moral courage. And thls is what no man likes to feel in the presence of a woman, and because of a superiority. But the brains most useful to women and most befitting to their work inlife are those which show themselves in con , - - mon sense, in good judgment and that kind of patient courage which enables them to bear small crosses and : great trials alike with dignity and ' good temper. Mere in- tellectual culture, - however valuable in it- 13elf, does not reach to the worth of. this - kind of moral power, for as the true do main of woman is the home, and her way of ordering her-domestic life the best of her faculties, mere intellectual culture does not help in this, and, ifl fact, is often a hind rance rather than a help. Ar.otrr thirty-five years since, Hon. Thos. I Carlin, at one time Governor of Missouri, 4 was at Quincy - , Illinois, during a greatTerush at the Land Office. ,At supper h as a large crowd and various topics were dis cussed. Among the subjects was women, when one of the company said, "that all women were alike; none were what they .should be;" and made other more insulting remarks about the sex. Governor Carlin was at the table, but said nothing. As soon as he had finished his repast he went out into the.office of the tavern and waited for the slanderer. As soon -as he made his ap- ' pearance the Governor said.; "Sir! I heard you at the supper table make some remarks reflecting upon women. Sir, 'my wife is a woman, my , sister' are women, and I am rearing stp daughters that will be women. On their account, as well as other good wo men whose integrity you have assailed, I have determined to thrash you,"which he proceeded to do in a highly satisfactory manner to all present. "CAltriroN" writes from San,Francisco to the Boston Journal: "People here com misserate the people of the East upon the re action which must take place when we re turn to a specie basis; but if you t are to come up to San Francisco prices you had better stick to paper , currency. I believe there is no city in the' world where living, costs so much as in San Francisco. A dol lar in currency is worth more in Boston than &dollar in gold in San Francisco. .In 1866, when gold was at 160, I obtained as good a suit of clothing for 00 in Boston' as I can now obtain here for $6O in gold. The citizens of Boston obtain their Daily Journal for four cents, postal currency, but here your newspaper costs a dime at a news stall and there are no newsboys." T lIE recent unexampled cold in Western Kansas took the people so by surprise that almost all the freezable produce of the sea son was destroyed. The potatoes were left in the ground until the wet season should be over; but, before it was dry enough to dig them, they were frozen solid. Terrible suffering by cold and hunger is the conse quenee It is feared that hundreds of fami lies are in danger of perishing. Wood, in some places on the prairies, is thirty dollars a cord; and at many homes there is said to be neither fuel nor food. The towns and villages of the State Eve actively organizinganzi charities for the snffenng country; 'should reive the ompt and bountiful aid of thos ec e in otherprStates who are more blessed. GA.BATERS have become so erce and daring lit Bear River City, Uta fi h, that a Vigilance Committee has taken them in band. After three had been hung, hand bills were distributed, warning the: entire -gang that all who were in the city after a certain hour would be disposed of in the same way. "Since that," says the Pwneer index, "meny a bundle of sin and blankets has passed the city limits." One amusing incident occurred during the "garoting sea son." As a gentleman stepped out- of a club-room he was met by one of -the gang, who dealt a powerful blow at his head. It was warded off, and the assassin cooly step ped forward and apologized for the assault, saying that he "thought it :was somebody else." Joni HETBUICN, Sr., of Gloucester N. J., publishes a card in the &lent:fie American, in which he claims to have dis covered the real cause of our annual No vember meteoric showers. He rests upon the fact that "at that period of the year the earth actually crosses the sun's path; that is; the earth is directly behind the sun and passes over his orbit on the 14th day of No vember of every year." He says that the sun leaves "a meteoric train bend him, which stretches out many degrees L eynd. the earth's orbit." We.do not pretend to know the scientific or astronomicalvalue o this theory, Nit we give it as one of the the ories on a subject curious and interesting. OM TUE population of Turkey is estimated at 441,000,000. Her army numbers a total of • nearly 600,000. Her regular army is com poked er 136,000 men.' The reserve army amok to 200,000v -the auxiliary troops to 100;000; the irregular troops to 00,000. The resources of Greece when compared with -those of Turkey assume insignificant pro portions. She has a population of 1,500,- 4300, and her maxinram army numbers about ,12,000 - men, with at least 2,000 om cers. Turkey has a good navy, not i 1 numbers, but in strength and effic d iency. Greece has two steamers and a squaron of coasting ships. , D.ESTITUTION Yonx.—l.t. 18 esti mated that no less than two hundred thou sand persons are now residing in lieW 7 York City who have no work, no real homes, and no means which, insure them a liveli hood. Some of them beg or steal outright; but a large number eke out a miserable ex istence by running into debt for lodging and board, or by borrowing from week to week of whonisoever will lend them, or by quar tering themselves on reluctant relatives or friends. The result is reported to be an ag regate of want, squalor, misery and degra . ation fearful to contemplate. Washtngton Items. - • Parties interested in the Postal Telegraph bill are making arrangements to advocate it with vigor, ,and a good showing of facts and figures as soon as it can be reached after the re•assembling of Congress. There will be a strong lobby against the measure, and the House Committee is probably adverse to its passage. General Grant haying had his attention called to the alleged conversation reported in the New Yorit papers, in which he was reported as atitocating the repeal of the 1 Tenure of 01116 act; and in favor of an extra session of,:Congressin March, and the retention in office of capable men without Iregard to their politics, &c. General Grant pronounced all these assertions as garbled misrepresentations of what he had said, and he repudiated them all, and said be wondered that any respectable paper would give them credence or circulation. . M. DE LESSEPS, the Suez. Canal contrac tor, makes a curious statement, bearing on the veracity and exacttudelof the Bible. He says that engaged prospecting in the neigh borhood of the Red Sea, he visited the fauntains of Moses, which are still in accor dance with the description given by the Bible The Bible of all boOks is the most truthful. Stange to relate, the different localities mentioned in this sacred-work, still possess the same physiognomy and the same names The Bible states that "in Blim were twelve fountains of water, and three score and ten palm trees." Well, even now, we are able to seethe seventy old trunks of those t as well as the twelve fountains. RT/FICIAL Seem, a substance used in France for the purpose of colorink saffron, is believed to be a compouttd of picric acid, though the actual ingredientsare kept secret. Picrate of potash is highly explosive, and the fact that a box of this artificial saffron was exploded by a spark from a tobacco pipe is considered conclusive proof that the dye is some sort of picric acid. Further experi ments show that artificial saffron will ex plode as readily as gunpowder, but with lorry per cent. less of projectile force. It is asserted that woolen stockings dyed with picrate of potash are liable to explode on the feet of those who sit too near the fire. OICE of the'most delicate witicisms, utter ed by Rossini on•his death-bed, is the fol lowing. It is characteristic of the affection ate relations prevailing between him and his wife: "What is the difference between you and a clock ?" said the sick maestro to his faithful wife and nurse, when she had just told him what time it was; and as Madame Rossini said she was unable to solve the riddle, her husband told her the solution: "The Clock indicates the hours to me, and you; cause me to forget them." Certainly a, mot of which every teuder bridegroom might be proud. Aic lowa correspondent of the Chicago Journal .says that. in Mahaska county, lowa, lives Mr. D. C. White, who, twenty years ago, fell on the grounditi the winter in such a manner as to dislocate his neck and frac ture the skull. By some strange circum stance, the spinal cord was not severed. For five years he was confined to his bed, but finally so far recovered that he could go about his business. His head is kept in po sition by a nand around the head, and con nected with supports which pass down the back and around the body. • Arc exchange says that Rev. Isaac Price, of Schuylkill township, Chester county, Pa., has held the ,position of pOstmasier at Schuykill post-office'' which is about one mile and a half from Phenixville, for thirty eight consecuitve years. He removed from North Coventry . in 1828, entered upon the mercantile business at the corner stores, where he still continues the same business, was appointed post master under Genera Jackson, in 1830, and has held quiet posses sion of his office during all the changes o administration since that time. CHICAGO has a detective officer who .in order to obtain a reward of five hundred dollars offered for the apprehension and conviction of an incenniary, induced a aim• ple minded German to plead guilty to the charge, with the promise of one-half the reward. The German was compelled to serve three years in the State prison, while the detective pocketed the whole $5OO be sides considerable property of the German entrusted to his care. SPECIAL NOTICES.
