These new frauds differ from those

bogus, barrels of water, for instance,
being substituted for barrels 01 oil.
The culprits seem to be a different set of
offenders from those concerned in
previous frauds, and so far as is known
no ofildals are Implicated. Their extent
has not been fully ascertained. No ar

The Times urges the transfer of the

My readers, if 1 have any, will have
oqserved that I never allow anybody but
myself to berate women. Of course, like
the philanthropist, who would settle mat

:have to take blows from both sides. That
I don't mind, as I never believed in "the
outside dog In the fight." Not to digress
farther, the sell-immolation of New York
women is to me a constant theme of
wonder. Now yesterday was a cold,
gusty, nipping day. Even the blithe
I little children were bxi cowed by it to
I play hall when dismissed from school,
but ran home quickly to their mothers.
Cartmen slapped the numb hand that was
; off duty into their pockets, or held It over
1 a red ear. Male pedestrians put on their
1 thickest boots and overcoats", and their
warmest flannels, and disdained not to
make themselves Into temporary loafers,
by that sovereign recipe of turning their
coateollans over their ears. Women
went out to walk, in ridiculous little
jackets, open at the throat and bosom,
1 and a gold locket where a fur collar
should be. Muffs were left at home, If
they had any, and tight kid gloves, to
I stop the circulation, were worn Instead.
The wind—that saucy tell tale—informed
me also, that cambric, with many nifll es,
were in the place that should be recopied
by flannels. (I trust this is delicately
expfnased, so that no moralist will stig
matize my article as 'unfit for family
reading.")
The result of this style of dress, on 1
their part, was a curious displacement of
color In their complexions The azure,
which should have been In their eyes,
was on their lips and noses. The red,
which should have been in their cheeks,
was on their ears and eyes. Then, ow.
ing to boots too short, and heels too high,
their gait was like that of a disconsolate
duck, waddling to a far. off mod paddle
for comfort. Tole to me was not an in
spiring sight. These women evidently
corffd never get to the polls in time to
vote, or have warmth enough left, If they
got there, to ballot with any enthusiasm.
That was very clear, even to a fibrosis.
lan! They were suffering undeniable
torments, with not even the reward dear
to the female heart—of exciting admira
tion. Pitying eyes followed them as they
toddled by, doing their best—poor dears!
—to brave It out. Physicians laughed in
their sleeves, as a long hill loomed up in
their future. Even their admirers `mould
hardly believe that Mary inn could have
looked very plain."
But the agony to me is thin that the
same amount of endurance, worse than
thrown away here, would, in the right
direction, acomplish Inch marvels for
themselves and others! That is the
thought uppermost In my mind when 1
parts these female martyr. I might say

There Is one peculiar form of danger
to which I would specially direct your
attention. There is one nation In Europe
which, more than any other, lass been
subjected to these Influences. ln ages of
revolution, nations live fast; centuries of
life are passed In fifty years of time. In
such a state individuals become subjected
more or list to influences which are work
ing around them. Scarcely an enjoyment
or a book can be met with which does not
bear the impress of this Intensity. Now
the particular to which I allude is French
novels, French romances and French
plays. The overflowing, of that cup of
excitement have reached our shores. Ido
not say these works contain anything
coarse or gross—better if it were so; evil
which comes Ina form of grossness, la
not nearly so dangerous as that which
comes veiled in gracefulness and senti
meat. Subjects which are not better
touched upon at all are dismissed, exam
inediand exhibited In all:the most seductive
forms of Imagery. You would be shocked
at being your son in a fit of intoxication;
yet I say solemnly, better that your son
gouda reel through the streets in a fit of
drunkenness., than that the delicacy of
yaw daughter's mind should be injured,
and her imagination Inflamed with false
tire. Twenty-four hours will terminate
the evil in the one case. Twenty-four
hours will not exhaust the effects of the
other;you must seek the consequences at
the end of many, many years. I speak
that which I do know; and if the earnest
warning of one who has seen the dangers
of which he speaks realised can reach the
heart of one Christsin parent, he will put
a ban on all such works, and not suffer
his children's hearts to be excited by
drunkenness which Is far worse than that
of wine. For the worst of it is, that the
men of cur time are not yet alive to this
growing evil; they are elsewhere—ln
their studies, counting.honses, professions
—not knowing the food, or rather poison,

In a strong inclosure, OA in a well.tamped
blast-bole, in the box of a mine, In a tor
pedo, &c., dualine can be exploded like
powder by a fnse or spark. The stronger
the inclosure is the greater is the effect of
the expli •ion. In the open air, or with
a tamping of lot', wand, or under water,
it is netwasary to use a cap in order to
cause the dualine to explode.
Dualine is so little sensitive to concus

premature explosion, be used for the burst.

Dualine acts on coal and rock less vio

do, its explosion produces in coal a
larger quantity of lumps and round coal
than even a corresponding charge of pow

glycerine or dynamite, it Is also rela
tively cheaper than common bleating pow.

and miners may resume their work Immo
diately after a blast has been fired. In
the Dudweiler mine, for instance, a mine
that Is not well ventilated, five blunt were
made In quick succession, yet the miners
were not in the least molested by the
gases developed by the combustion of ten
ounces of dualine used for the charges of
these blasts. At another much better part
of the mane mine, a charge of only two
ounces of dynamite was fired ; its explo-
Ilion filled the shalt with nitric acid gases
that were insupportable to the men in the
mine.
Dual lite combining strength with safety,
and certainty of action with considerable
s.sving of expenses, may therefore be des

May, when the first trials with It were

The duties of husbands are thus laid
down in a dlsixmise by Rev. Dr. Wm.
kiltman: The first duty of husbands is
to sympathize with their wives in all
their cares and labors Men are apt to
forget, In the perplexities and annoy
ances of business, that home cares are also
annoying and try the patience and the
strength of thei • Thr •ne hot-
at. 01 1r wives. They come home
expecting sympathy and attention, but
are too apt to have none to give. A sin
gle kindly word or look that tells his
thought of her and her troubles, would
lon hall the weight of care from her
heart. Secondly, husbands should make
confidants of their wives, consulting them
on their business plans and prospects,
and especially on their troubles and
embarrassments. A woman's intuition
in often better than all his wisdom
and shrowdrit,s, and her ready symp-^'
..ady sympathy
and interest is • powerful aid for his
efforts, for their mutual welfare. Thirdly,
men should show their love (or their
wives In constant attention', in their
manner of treating them, and in the
thomiand md ne erlB
__l>g o n ft3Wes
wince rnar
which makes all the difference between a
life of Mid and undefined longing, and
cheery, happy existence. Above all,
men should beware of treating their
wives with rudeness and Incivility, as ft
they were the only persons not entitled
to their consideration and respect. They
should think of their sensitive feelings
and their need of sympathy, and never
kt the fire of love go out or cease to show
that the flame is burning with unabated
fervor."
IN Amesbury, Maas., George F. Good
soe and Charles H. Lowell, some time
since exchanged wives, with the entire
consent of all parties, Mrs. Lowell be
coming, by formal marine, the wife at
Mr. Goodsoe., and Mr; Goodsoe the wife
of Mr. Lowell. The two couples lived
together under the new deal for some
time before any one Interfered with
them, and as far as can be ascertained,
Istisfactorily an pleasantly, but people in
that part of the country are somewhat
prejudiced against these little arrange
menta, and somehow the case got before
the Grand Jury. The parties were chin.
ed with polygamy, and last week the
cases came before the Superior Court at
Lawrence. Mr. Lowell plead guilty, and
the others, who were on ball, not guilty.
By consent of counsel, the jury, by
direction of the Court, brought In a pro
forma verdict of guilty, the facts in the
case, all that the jury could try, being
admitted. The ease will be taken to the
Supreme Court tut points of law.
