BY JULIAN A. SELBY Kissing Abused.?The St Louis Globe, evidently distrusted at the abuse the prominent litigants in the Brooklyn scandal trial nave made of the "Idea," ponrs the following broadside into the court room: "A genuine kiss needs fervor and flavor to begin with, and is not perfect without a certain infusion of lawlessness, and ample convic? tion of choiceness and exclusion. On the latter point the demands of propriety is inexorable. The kiss is above the bow, or the shaking of hands less for its real value than as an index, of intimacy and pre? ference. The fact that you receive a courtesy agreeable per sc, is en? hanced tenfold by tne reflection that, while many others desire ardently'the same courtesy, it is withheld from them?an inference that flatters vastly your sense of superiority. But when theBe people met they kissed round; the sexton kissed the sister, and the sister's husband hugged the deacon's wife, and the deacon swapped breath with the parson's?no, we do not know that as yet Mrs. Beecher is accused of having kissed anybody. Through the whole scene, a scene unpanuled in history since the monkey married the monstrous baboon's sister, moves Mr. Beecher with sixty or seventy different kinds of hair on his coat, and a stiff upper lip glistening in a state of chronic slobber and due. Mrs. Tilton kissed, it would appear, in a Quaker fashion, saying, 'I greet thee/ while Mr. Tilton's osculation were delivered after the manner of the Orient. Young women in search of em? ployment should emigrath to Ne? vada. Female teachers in Virginia City receive $100 to $200 per month in gold coin. Board costs about $85 per month, and lodging from $15 to $75, according to loca? tion and size of room. Domestics command from $35 to $40 per month and board. However, only good-looking girls need make any effort to reach this paradise for the suppressed sex;, for as teachers, they would certainly not pass the examination of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, who is a sin? gle man, and as servants, they would inevitably be superseded by Chinamen, who are deemed very much more reliable. For pretty women there is reserved a better fate. Four weeks is about all the time that one of these desirable creatures is allowed to remain sin? gle in Nevada. After that they are sure to be captured by some miner, whose prospects are full of silver and whose heart is full of love. * Internal improvements are be? ing pushed forward with very great rapidity in Bussia, under the fostering care and protection of the Czar, who has just given his consent to the commencement of 5,400 miles of iiew road in his do? minions. There are already in ope? ration in Bnssia 12,000 miles of railways. They return an annual income of $20,000,000 per annum. In addition to Ulis, they are of immense importance to the Govern? ment in sending troops from ono point to another. Bussia is so large that she must have means to transport her forces readily from North t6 South, from East to West, to meet an enemy or take the start in an onward, movement vf an im? portant character. The Czar un derstands the matter perfectly, and is putting railroads "where they will do tho most, good" from his point of view. . At a Dress Be form Convention held in Woi^celgter, Mass., last week, a formal resolution was passed, asking Congress to limit the length of ladies' skirts. Congress has just as much right to prohibit the vv??ii?g of skirts altogether. But it seemsthe Massachusetts women, as well as the men, since they have conceived the idea of legislating away, all tho distinction between tho races, are under the impression that Congress can do any apd-everythmg. t ? ........ i ? . ; .?> ? ?-,-.? An experienced papa, speaking of a youthful baby, says: "Its mouth, whed' shut, aVr bigger titan a worm hole in a hickory jaut, b?t it is generaUy open, and as big as a stove pipe hole." C( So many applications for divorce have been made to the Idaho Le? gislature, that Mr. Paddock has! introduced a bill divorcing all the married people in the Territory, and placing them in statu quo ante I matrimonium. This, he says, will save time, and those who wish can be remarried. "Now, then," said a physician, cheerily, to a patient, "you have got along far enough to indulge in a little animal food, and?" "No I you won't, doctor," interrupted the patient; "I've suffered enough on your gruel and slops, and I'd starve sooner than begin on hay and oats." From a Western paper: "Yes, boys," said Nancy Bell, a female | blacksmith of Iowa, as she strad? dled a horse's leg and yanked off a shoe, "I was brought up to this business, and so was mother; and there ain't been no Beecher scan? dals in our family, for sure." "Do you like to go to church?" said a lay to Mrs. Partingon. "Law me, I do," replied Mrs. P. "No? thing does me so much good as to get up early Sunday . morning and go to church and hear n populous minister dispense with the gospel. "The Iiord never meant for us to bile over with religion this cold weather!" said a Duluth deacon, as he dismissed church and went home to hug the stove. Dickinson denies saving that she could as soon love a rhinoceros as a man, and we accept the apology and hope the rhinoceros will re? sume his jovial bearing.
