Flirting.
The flirt is known by unmistakable
.signs to any one of the smallest per
ception. All arc familiar with the
numerous varieties of the species.
?Wo need only mention a few, and
?very few words will sufllcc to indicate
the peculiarities of each. There is the
noisy, boisterous "fast girl," whose
flirting is but one of her chnraclcris
tics, along with her extravagant drc?S,
Blang speeches, and general uncon
yentionality of demeanor and disre
gard of appearances. There is the
common vulgar flirt, who has neither
intellect nor education sufficient to
qualify hor even for the exercise of
the very low nit she professes. The I
Style wo arc chiefly familiar with in j
the person of the maiil-of all-work in j
her intercourse with the milkman or
the policeman. But girls of a better i
clans often remind us of her, their
flirting merely consisting of pert, sau
cy speeches and tosses of ihe head.
Then there is the sly, quiet flirt, loss
objectionable to society in general,
though perhaps more dangerous and
designing than the open hoyden.
Among this class may be found the
Becky Sharps and Blanche Aniorys
who, since the advent of Thackeray's
novels, have come lo be regarded as
the types of artful woman kind.
? These arc fond of nooks and corners ;
their batteries arc little soft, flatter
ing speeches, demure glances, and an |
affectation of infantine simplicity and 1
innocence ; and their victims are gen- I
crally young, unwary lads or easily j
gulled old gentlemen. There is the
practical, designing flirt, who sets
herself deliberately and of malice
prepense to Intrup a husband, or at
least an admirer, with the variety?
chiefly found, happily, in sensational \
novels?rrof the girl who has an addi- j
tional zest lent to her game if she can
iuterlere with the claims of other wo
men, cither wives or sweethearts.
Some would, perhaps, include the un
conscious flirt, if such a thing can be ;
that is, the girl who is naturally gay,
and has.little winning, coaxing ways,
which, ;f aided by a pretly person, j
make her specially attractive, if no',
dangerous.
Having said so much regarding the
coquette, it would be unfair lo con
clude without passing condemnation
upon the male flirt or "coquet." A :
most objectionable being ; but one, to ;
dornen justice, seldom met with, at
least in its worst form, that is, the j
lady killer. We do not at all mean
the "ladies' man." There aie very
!
few giils, even of the sedate type,
who do not like a mm who tries to
make hirojself agreeable to ladies, even
to the extent of soft speeches and
harmless gallantries. Indeed, a man .
who is not fond of ladies' society is!
generally fond of much worse things.
And that which would bo flirting in a
woman is not flirting in a man, or
even meant for it, for some license!
must be allowed to the sex which
ought lo take the "initiative." But
there is a degraded type of man who '
goes much further, and often has the
breaking of hearts to atone for ; one
who does so with his eyes open, anil
knowing well the consequences of bis
procedure. There arc men who set
ihemselvcs to the task of winning
hearts for the pleasure of the game,
and who will go to great pains and
artifices to do so. They generally
exercise their art on young, unsophis
ticated girls?where they can Und
such?as more fresh and interesting,
and easier lo deceive than those who
are ttu fait in the practices of coquet
ry themselves. These are Hie "hand
some men," who, by means of a flat
tering tongue, can easily, in a few
pointed speeches?just keeping clear
of nn actual declaration?make a sim
ple girl think herself the chosen and
beloved one. If he mean nothing se
rious, what can be more unmanly,
more ungenerous, than such a course
of conduct on a man's part? The
male jilt can be culled to account for
his actions; but the mere Uirl, the
"lady-killer," plays his heartless game
in secret, quite unsuspected?if he be
very artful and wary?even by the
girls family ; his delinqu^uccs may
be known only to the stillerer herscll,
who, of course, cannot "make her
moan," even if she would do so, as he
has given her no hold over him. lie
has had his little amusement, and
when he tires he leaves his victim to
scik another.**-Chicago Ledger.

a view to possible political gains, is
evidence of an ignoble spirit.

National Republican Convention
Tuk National Republican Execu
tive Committee has issued a call for a
Republican Convention to meet in
the city of Chicago, on the second day
of June, for the purpose of nominating |
a ''resident and a Vice President ol
the United Stales. The selection ol
Cameron as Chairman of this Com
mittee and the early call for the nom
inating Convention arc favorable in*
dicalions for the third tenners. The
Grant managers realize the fact thai
he is weakening in bis'chanccs foi the
nomination. They have brought him
back loo soon. The enthusiasm over
his rcluru is dying out, and is giving
place to a sober, second thought that
is likely to lay tho Gencrcl upon the I
political table, All thai can possible J
save him now is lo hurry up matters.!
The programme is lo hasten on!
the State Conventions ami elect
cnuugh Grant delegations lo give him
control of the Convention. It is said
that this has already been arranged
so far as the Slates of New York,
Pennsylvania, Indiana and Illinois
are concerned, and that Giant is now
looking up voles in the South to help
secure him the nomination. There is
likely to be a very animated und bit
ter light over the nominations in this
Convention, and il is by no means
improbable that its action will not
greatly improve the Democratic pros
pects of success.?Anderson IuUili

Hunting the Man who Promised to
Marry Her.
A widow woman from Columbia
arrived in the city yesterday and
lodged a somewhat unusual complaint
at .the ollicc of Justice Davidson.
She said thcro was a mnu in Charlotte
who promised to marry her and had
failed to fill the contract, and she was
desirious of knowing what she could
do to compel a compliance with the
same. She stated that their two lives
were lo have been united on the 21th
of December last, and that all the
preparations for the important event
had been made, but when the time for
the wedding arrived her nlllunced was
not there, nor bad she reeieved from
him one word of explanation of his
cruel and heaitiess absence. He hud
even gone so far as to purchase his
wedding suit which had been deposit
ed with a mutual friend until he
should call and chum his own. The
magistrate heard the woman's story
and issued a summons for the man
to appear and answer the charge ol
breach ol contract, with damages to
tho amount of ??d, this sum having
been put down because suits of this
sort for greater amounts do not fall
within the jurisdiction of a magistrate.
The man appeared, and tho two were
allowed a few minutes private con
versation, after which Hie complain
ant ngreOd to stop the suit for the
present and to return and report to
the magistra'e later. At last accounts
she had not appeared, and it is pre
sumed that her perseverance, with!
her leap year privileges, has won her
a husband.? Charlotte Observer,

Gary vs. Hampton,
When General Gary makes at
tacks on Hampton he wages war
against his own popularity and makes
the success of his cause an. impossi
bility. Hampton is a patriot whom
tho people revere and love, and any
thrusts, coining from any souicc, will
meet their stern disapproval. Ad
mitting fcr the moment that Gary's
charges are true, the dilleicncc in the
two men seems to us to be : That
Hampton sought to relieve his people
of a thraldom worse than death, while
Gary seeks lo advance his own inter
ests, even if the liberties and happi
ness of his people must be sacrificed
in order to attain the end in view.
Hut Gen. Gary has mistaken the
temper of the people. He lias been
hoisted by his own petard.? Chester

Severe Srorm.
Tlie telegrams report the severest
storm at Portland, Oregon, ever
known. The gale attained for a short
time llie velocity of eighty miles tin
hour. A large number of bouses
were blown down, including Brcman
Hall and the new Catholic Chute'.).
Tho damage to properly in the city
will reach ?70,000. Tbc storm in
the country was also very severe.
The telegraph lines between Portland
and Dallas are so buried under fallen
timber that they will have lo be en
tirely rebuilt. A great number ol
cattle were killed by falling barns
and trees. It is impossible to esti
mate the value of the properly des
troyed, but it will certainly be very
great. Three or four persons arc so
far reported as killed, but the loss of
life does not seem to be very great.
It is related of a well-known mer
chant of a neighboring city that, after
making his will and leaving a large
properly to trustees forjiis son, he
called the young man in, and, after
icidiug the will to him, asked him if
there was any alteration or improve
ment he could suggest. "Well,
father," said the young gentleman,
lighting a cigarette, "I think as things
go nowadays it would be belter for
me if you left the property to the oth
er fellow and made me the trustee."
The old gentleman made up his mind
then and there that the young' man
was quite competent to lake charge of
his own inheritance and scratched the
trustee clause out.
A very modest young lady, who
wanted a pair of garters, addressed n
shopman thus: "Iiis my desire to
obtain a pair of circular elastic ap
pendages, capable of being contract
el} or expanded by means ol*oscillat
ing burnished steel appliances, that
sparkle like particles of gold leaf sei
with Alaska diamonds, and which are
utilized for retaining in proper posi
tion the habiliments ol the lower ex

to mention.
A Wife on tho Witness Stand.
There was ti thrilling scene in the!
Heyden trial at New Haven, Conn.,
where Rev. Mr. Hay den is charged
with murder, when Mrs Heyden, wife
of the accused, was on the witness-1
stand. Mrs. IJayden had shown won
derful quickness and discretion In the |
testimony she lias given and has tes
lled to facts which go to contradict j
the theory of the prosecution. At
length the prosecution put to her thisj
question: "As Mr. Hay den, the ac
cused is your husband, the father of|
your three children, a devoted hus
band to a loving wife, and as you
have always, and do now, maintain
the plcasantcst relations with him,
as you have implicit confidence in his
innocence, as you believe that if he
sutlers the ignominious punishment
that must befall him in case he is
found guilt}' will be unjtfst, would you,
mndatnc, under such circumstances
and under oath, make a misstntcmcnl
to save him, whom you love better
than your life, from punishment?*'
Mis. Huydcu gave away under lite
strain. She burst into tears. Many
of the spectators wept in sympathy
with her. The scene was intensely
dramatic. The counsel for the defense
bade her not answer and said that the
question was an insult. The counsel
for the Stale however raid :
"It is not an insult. Far bo it
fiom me to insult a loving wife and a
lady like the one now on the witness
stand. 1 would say nothing to hurt
her feelings except what duty com
pels me to say. It iif.no insult to a
devoted wife to intimate that in order
to save the life of bet husband she
would, if necessity compelled her to
do so, pet jure bei self. , It is i at her an
honor tu her. A woman who loves
as she loves, if she. thought her bus"
band must sutler an ignominious pun
ishment, would exaggerate, prevari
cate and, if m-cessarVj tell an abso
lute falsehood to save him, and
though she should violate the law in
so doing, 1 should honor her fur it. 1
should expect my wite-io do that for]
me. This is no Ul^Jpfa, and perfec-j
lion has not been and never will he
1 reached. II 1 were In a similar posi
tion to the accused and my wile,j
mother to six children whom kind
Providence has seen fit to bless us
with, were in the place of the witness
and I thought she would not exagger
ate and, it necessary, peijure herself
in order to save me, 1 won hi not love
her with one-half the love I now bear
her."
There can be little doubt that most
men and women feel the force of this.
The old law would not permit a wile
[to testify for her husband, for it took
it for granted that she would tell a lie
if necessary to save her husband and
the father of her children from a fel
on's dreadful death. That rule has
now been somewhat relaxed and the
wife may testify in her husband's de
fense, but still the jury can not ignore
her stiong incentive; nay, her lighl
cous incentive, to pcijuij*.
A Fatal Red Shawl.
A woman residing near Lexington,
Ky., illustrates the danger of wearing
red in the presence of bullocks. While
pausing through a pasture near her
home, she attracted the attention of a
herd of cattle, who seemed to lie en
raged at the sig!il of a red shawl
which she was wearing* She became
alarmed, and started to run away,I
when the whole herd gave chase.
After running a short distance she
fell, cxhauscd. . Parties who witness
ed the chase hurried to the rescue of
the woman, and even in time to pre
vent the cattle from running over her
after she fell, but she died from the
effects of her fright while being taken
to her home.

signed his hi other's name, and soon
after left with the girl. It is rumored
that the father of the girl is pursuing
them, greatly enraged, and that he

On Sunday morning last, the last
Sabbath in the year, and so bright
and mild and beautiful as to arouse
thankfulness in the breasts of even
brutes and dumb beasts, we were in
expressibly gratified to see the
young men of our community, gener
ally, in the house of God. On this
lovely and blessed day the "desccr%
tors" were few ; so few indeed as to
stand out in bold and unenviable rc
iief. And which is the nobler?even
putting vital piety out of the question,
which is the more manly, the moto
dignified, the clcnuer, the purer, the
more considerate of private and pub
lic virtue, the more respectful, to
wards mother, wife, sister, daughtor-r^
to attend the house of God on Sun
day, or to spend the holy day in loit
ering pitifully about the streets and
public square, drinking whiskey, ut
tering oaths, and talking vice, gam
ing and licentiousness? Which the
nobler, which the more manly? Love
God if you can, you-g man?try with
your whole heart!?and if you can
not do this, at least lespect public
decency and guard female purity suf
ficiently to cease this open desecra
tion of the Sabbath.
We shall continue to exhort the
young men of our community, most
of whom wc have known intimately
from their cradles, and wc beg them
to believe that we do il in earnest

rogance. Things arc transpiiing

continue to exhort our young men to
cease desecrating the Sabbath; and
we beg them again to believe that we
do it in love. As for the elderly gentle
men who habitually desecrate the
Sabbath, at the same time that we
exhort them, we ask from them no in

The Third Term in Ohio.

pronounced Radical Republican, who
has been spending a few weeks and
?he holidays at-Cleveland, Ohio, has
returned to this city with some very
decided notions ns to the feeling of
the Buckeyes over Grant and the third
term. He found that, since the re
cent open announcement of Grant's
willingness to run again if ho could
receive the nomination, the quiet,
determined oppositiou ton third term
