Address RIORDAN, DAWSON A CO , No. 10 Broad street, Charleston, S. C. SATTJBDAY, MARCH 15, 1873 KEW8 OF TSE DAT. -The New Orleans Picayune says that In the olden times in Louisiana, when a man had a lawsuit, he used to hire ti lawyer, but now he bas to hire a Jndgc -The Masonic Order ls said to have an ex? tensive membership and considerable Influ? ence In Persia. Nearly all the members of the Persian Court belong to lt. -A banker and his clerk are said to bave disappeared from Denison, Texas, carrying With them the whole of the deposits; amount? ing to some $S0,000. ' -In New York, last Friday, three thousand pounds of sheet metal were drawn trom bond, for use in rcsheathlng the bark Marco Polo, and the following day the mechanic's certifi? cate showed that the work had been accom? plished, the whole havlog been performed In the' short space of twenty-two hours. Four hundred men were employed upon the Job. -The High Church party In England have tailed a fang ol $50,000 for the purchase of adv OWSODS, and presenting them, as they fall vacant, to clergymen of their own school. The Low Chrrch party did something ol this ikad manyT ears ago, and the fund they thns raised stilt exists in the lorm of the "Simeon trOtt." -A Texas meat company has been formed for the purpose ot manufacturing preserved SOts and meat extracts. Thousands of bai? lo ext are utilized annually lor an export trade Vi th out affecting the price ot stock lu Texas, Blnoe there are about ten million bead ot cat? ii? rn the State. The natural increase in the pr?sent herds supplies more animals than con J ba uiUlzed profitably by any process heretofore In 099 lorfpreserving and transporting meat. -?elssonnler, the favorite artist of the Empire, recently completed a picture for the Vienna Exposition, but sold it as soon as lt cae finished to a London dealer lor $20,000, Who Instantly resold ft, at a considerable ad? vance, to a member of Parliament. It ls one o? the artist's largest works, being twenty by twenty-four Inches. It represents the village sign painter who has Just given the finishing, touches to sn ale-house Bacchus, showing his handiwork io mine host. -Hon. William R. Roberts, of the firth con? gressional et?trtet o? Mew York, writes to Mr. Boutweli, declining to receive the increase on his back pay as a Congressman. He states that having voted against the bill Increasing the pay ot members of Congress chiefly on account o? this feature, he does not feel justi? fied ld accepting the money. He directs the amount to be covered Into the treasury ol the United States. A dispatch to the New York Baa states that Mr. Merrick, of Maryland, also refused to receive the extra pay, and that George F. Hoar, of Massachusetts, accepted his, bnt Immediately gave lt to the Free In? dustrial Institute of Worcester, in that State. -The number of horses in Great Britain, according to late reports, has decreased. There are fears that even the racing stock ls not up to the standard of a few years age. Heavy taxes on race horses, high prices of food, and a general failure of Interest In turf ?alters, are tbe causeo of the decline. France ?bo bays many o? the best and most pro mis log animals. It ls as to the common horse, feawever, that this scarcity ls most felt. The prices have risen from sixty to seventy per wnt., and the horses are not procurable even kt that Increase. When, in the recent ma awavres the English cavalry required extra mounts, the aa!mala bad to be Importer! from France and Germany. The subject ls engag? ing the attention ol Parliament. -A rumor was current In London a few fejsago that the German Government had gtven an order to several firms in Birming? ham for the manufacture of a large number of firearms of a new pattern, and an investiga? tion o? the rumor resulted In Its confirma? tion, aod to the discovery that the order was for not less than a million stand of arms. It is also ascertained lhat Prussia has recently sold to the Viceroy of Egypt a large quantity of the arms she used and captured In the re? cent war. The guns to be made at Birming D*? are not upon the needle pattern, and this fact, taken in connection with the sale by Prussia of this great number ot needle gus to th? Viceroy of Egypt, leads to the belief that too Germans have become tired ol the needle gun with which they have won so many vic? tories.' -The meeting o? the colored citizens of Washington, on Monday evening, to express their sympathy with the struggling Cubans was altogether an enthuBlaBtlc gathering. Ex Lleutenant Governor A. J. Banaler, who ls now member ot Congress from thiB district, W88 choseB president, with Robert- Purvis of Washington City, John Jones, of Illinois, and Mr. Levere, of Tennessee, as vice pnaidentfl, and P. H. Murray, as secretary. ?9 address, claiming the full measure of tjMl rights to which the colored people are cSffsWd and expressing sympathy for Cuba, OM presented amid much enthusiasm. A res elfjiioa expressing gratitude and pyinpathy Hil* Charles Sumner for the labors In behalf ol the odored race was also presented and gceeted with heany applause. Numerous speeches IQ advocacy of belligerent rights f?i ls favor of the speedy abolition of slavery In Cuba were made by a number ol diBtln gulehed speaker?, General Banks among others addressing the convention. -The new raliway and telegraph chart of the Russian Empire, Just published, seems to have taken the German general staff by sur? prise. Russia ls Bhown by this chart to pos? sess railways and telegraph lines actually In operation, of which Ihe world outBlde had not the slightest notice or even suspicion. There ls a complete system of strategical railways, raoiailng from the three principal Unes unit? ing at St- Petersburg, Moscow and Klefl*, and extending even to the Aeiatlo frontier in no lesB than ten lines. All the military centres, even Nova Tcherhask, the headquar? ters ot the Don Cossacks, are accessible by rail; and in a short time, If not at this mo? ment, Russia can move large bodies of troops and concentrate them within a lew days at any desired spot. In view of these facts the German Journals urge their government to hasten forward the construction of railways on their own eastern irontier, which they will need for their own saiety In case of war. The English Crisis. The Conservatives ure in the minority in the House of Commons, and they know iu Mr. Disraeli may consent to form a cabinet, but, if he do so, it will be with the distinct understanding that Parliament shall be dis? solved and a general election ordered, so that the voters may have an opportunity of expressing their opinion upon the relative public merits of the two great parties. When Parliament reassembles a test vote will show whether Mr. Disraeli has a working majority, in the absence of which he will resign. We do not believe, however, that there has been any considerable Con? servative reaction in England, and Mr. Disraeli ought not to care for the barren honor of a six months' premiership. The Liberals, when they stand together, carry everything before them. Bot they are like a house divided against itself, and such de? feats as that npen the Irish University bill are occasionally the result. The Blue Ridge Scrip. Some days ago we called attention lo the fact that it was reported in Columbia that the bill repealing the Blue Bidge Scrip law, papped b7 both branches of the General As? sembly, had not been presented to Governor Moses for his approvr.l. The trathfulness of the report is ccu firmed by the Columbia Carolinian, which lay3 the blame upon Sen? ator Maxwell, the chairman of the commit? tee on enrolled bills, who, we believe, vigor? ously opposed the repealing act. It is interesting, also, as an evidence of the strange vitality of the scrip, to And that the Columbia Herald has heard it rumored that the State Supreme Court will, at an early day, deliver a decision sustaining the valid? ity of the scrip. After all it is not surprising that a vigor? ous right should be made for the scrip. There is one million eight hundred thousand dollars of it io the safes and pockets of in? nocent holders and corrupt speculators, and, upon the principle that half a loaf is better than no bread, the holders are ready to pay well for any help-whether in the way of promoting the annulling of the scrip, or of establishing its legality? They are ready to bay senators and judges, as well as news? papers. A few weeks will show what is thbir success. The New Hampshire Election. There seems to be no donbt that the Dem? ocrats have elected two congressmen lo New Hampshire, and that the Republicans have elected Mr. E. A. Straw, their candidate for Governor, by about, two hundred and fifty majority. The Republican majority at the Presidential election, last fall, was fifty-seven hundred and forty-four. There has been, therefore, a heavy decline in the Republican vote, but, as the Democrats lose one congressman, it is reasonable to suppose that the falling od is as heavy amongst the Democrats as among their opponents. Old Maids! It is doubtful whether civilization will ever advance so far that the name Old Maid will cease to bringa smile of contempt to haman lips; even to those whose roses are already fading in the .ill-defined twilight of the dreaded limbo of woran. The yoong and the wedded may laugh gracefully; but Lord help the woman who feels that she too most join in the cuckoo cry, or herself be classed among the neglected and forsaken. There is exquisite humor in " bombazine " assumed in grief and perpetuated in econ " omy." We laugh unrestrainedly; though the rusty folds be the symbol cf a bnrk\1 love, and the token of a poverty from which there is no resurrection. It becomes woo? dron? touching, however, when the inky garment is Bluffed with widow's bones. The original weeds may have been donned for ac Incarnation of Satan, whose exodus left the mourner under the impression that the millennium bad begun for ber alene; yet they possess a sanctity, a pathos witb which neither sorrow, nor holiness, nor suffering can invest those of the Old Maid. Does any one know the typical Old Maid ? Is she not as mythical as the English "Yan? kee " or the American " John Bull ? " That she is like "Sweet bells Jangled out of tune " is the kindeat thing that is ever said of her. And yet is there anything more common than wrangling wives and impatient mo? thers ? Does any one believe that the class whose chief weakness is a love for catB and canaries, are moved to bang little innocents, as tender mothers are privileged lo do? But these can be forgiven because they have husbands, and the law of reprisals exists among all nations in a state of war, pro? vided they can find foes of whom they can take advantage. Maternal love, the vaunted, is pure selfishness, if traced to its source. The fiercest animals possess it ina greater degree than woman. While the idealized Mother is glorified by poets fer tending her puny babes in ber self-inflicted nursery, it is Old Maids like Miss Dix, Miss Nightingale and Mies Faithful who go about, bringing God's sunshine Into darkened places, raising the fallen, loosing the prisoner's bands, and preaching Hope and Charity to men. Strange lhat she who devotes her lire to her own interest, hoping for a return in kind, should be more honored than the one who feasts the lame, the halt and the blind, and sits by a blackened hearth, content with the eramba .which fall from emptied dishes, and looking for no wine until she shall drink it fresh from the vintage al ibo marriage feast of eternity 1 Grace Darling was an old maid when she saved seven Bailors from the raging Atlan? tic. Charlotte Cord ay waa unwed when Marat received his V>atb of blood. Rosa Bouheur is ball a century old. Joanna Bail? lie and Hannah More were very old maids. It was the Maid of Orleans, not the wife or mother, who led the French to victory. Had the heroine of Saragossa been married she would have lingered by Ihe cradle side, pap spoon in ist, instead of hastening to the ramparts to hurl shot and shell at the be? siegers. Good Queen Bess was an old maid, wilh red hair. Nevertheless it is a "re " proach " to be an Old Maid ! That is the universal cry. Yes I thanka to those who have been trained in the creed which those words expres8, and who are debarred from marriage by an exceptionally bard fate. Without tho dignity and self-respect to ex? tend themselves quietly and decently on the gridiron until they are broiled into a dish Ut to be set before the king, they must frisk and kick until-torn, sing.?d, half-dressed and wholly anomalous-they escape from the hands of the executioner and mince across the coals rejoicing that they ar? not yet dished as Old Maids. There ie sublime moral heroism in accepting the situation. None but superior BOUIS can do it gracefully. An infinite number of foolish virgins prefer marrying men unworthy of a good woman's respect lo facing the jibes and sneers of their mating and mated associ?tes. O women who seek thia so-called M respect? ability," can you, do you, believe it decent to marry not only without love but actually wilh aversion? Is it more reputable to marry a mao for his money, than to catch your fish with a golden hook ? Is it "proper" to marry John because Thomas ls not avail? able ? Is not the loveless marriage the real reproach ; a harder lot lhan lhat of an Old Maid who buries Ihe love God denies and walks silently tho appointed way, satisfied tb*t He chose for her? He?ri Quatre was a brave King, but, somehow, his glory fadea before his own declaration, ".Paris vaut bien une messe H There are some to whom religion is worth more thun Paris and the world besides; es? pecially if that religion, with its fundamental truths, inculcate the observance of the moral and social laws of delicacy and pure taste. All women cannot marry. Wilness, ihe seventy thousand majority of Nature's "lust " best gifts to man " in Massachusetts alone I For them no perennial Leap-year blooms; and if it did no male stick presenta itself for them to drape themselves around. But Dame Nature ia not wholly obdurate. Even among the army of the unwed, grim and silent as the ghosts that haunt the Sty? gian lake io default of the obolus which shall secure their passage lo HadeB, (alas! how significant 1) it may well be doubted whelher any have reached, by compulsion, that bourne from which no maiden returns. Every woman has her opportunities of mar riage; perhaps, not always wilh the one she would desire or accept. But there would not be as many unaccountable marriages if the mania for asking were not aa common among men os ill-assorted matches are among women. The vast disproportion between the forces of rejectors and rejected is balanced by Ihe disposition of mun to solicit many maidens; restricted only by the law which limits bim to one wife at a time, or to as many as he can successively dispose of within a legitimate period. Put it to the vote a year, a month, a week after marriage and how many women would secretly black-ball their choice I Yet these same wives, smiling in ghostly faintness lo conceal some hidden stroke, will seoir at Old Maids who have no one to marry. At least the Old Maid has no sickening conviction that only the name of a husband'a love is hers. She bas no shrinking perception lhat irreproachable sherry can produce an ob" fuscation of intellect similar to that which 4: Old Rye " shall canse. She has no terror of the marital lion roaring fora retarded meal, or growling over an over-done roast. She hos no fear for the future; (or, at the worst, her destiny is in her own hands, and she is not chained to a dead hope and a living despair. Shall we laugh with the multitude at Old Maids, or cry, Heaven help the Wives I Woman's best protector ia not'| the individual man, but the opinion of other men in Ihe mass. But for this, there would be an irresistible luxury in hitting one's wife. The day that this bond of terror and sympathy is dissolved, up go the switches and down goes woman's security. And the Old Maids, the angels with dis? jointed wings and moth-eaten feathers, de I nled the courtesy of men and the consider? ation of women-what shall compensate them for the loss of so great a reward aa the suffrages of the world on the question of their respectability? On earth they can hope for nothing; but let us trust that it will be with them as with the poor relations who, aa Holmes thinks, shall be pardoned much in the next world in consideration of their position in this, and that Beelzebub himself will be moved to say to the humble-minded spinster, who presents herself as only fit for obscurity : " Go up higher, friend. Brim " Btone and Div can oder no new pain to " one who has borne the title of Old Maid." Tbe Bench and the Bar. The New York Star advocates a return by the bench and bar lo the lashions of the Eng? lish courts, and gives as an example of the necessity the style of the New York bar. It says: ul'o a foreigner (we are told) lt must M seem infinitely absurd to see a man occupy " lng the Judicial seat wearing a bob-tall coat; " many-colored trousers and a gorgeous waist " coal; and counsel appearing arrayed in ex u travagant neckties, crimson velvet vests and " waxed moustaches, and Instead of the grand "solemnity of old, and the Imposing stated " ness of a court of Justice, a burlesque com *. posed ol legal buffoons and harlequins. But, M aside from appearance, the Jeetp, or would " be witticisms, that sometimes pass between ?? the court and couneel are most undignl " fied'" - The Edinburgh.
