fashionable in this country. Our young ladies do
not wear genuine daggers, but they wear as a
substitute for the dagger a long, sharp pin,
placed athwartships just above the nape of the
neck, and projecting on either side of it. This
pin is dangerous. The point is very sharp, and
it projects so far that no young man can approach
to any degree of intimacy with th e wearer without
grave danger. If the fashion of wearing a back-

Sir John ami Ills Pot Wasp.
Sir John Lubbock, at a recent meeting of a
natural science association in London, exhibited
a very strange pet. It was a tame wasp, which
had been in his position for about three months.
It ate sugar from his hand and allowed him to
stroke* it. The wasp had every appearance of
health and happiness, and, although it enjoyed
an “outing” occasionally, it readily returned to
its bottle, which it seemed to regard ns a home.—
New York Commercial.
Sir John Lubbock has given himself dead away '
by exhibiting his pet wasp. Tame wasps are as |
imitative as tame parrots. And the question i
forces itself, where did this w a>p learn its scan
dnlous habit of “readily returning to its bottle,
which it seemed to regard as a home.” Sir John
ought to swear oft', and teach his wasp better
manners. Like wasp, like master, is a paraphrase

AN INVITATION.
This journal Inis always been Htrongly
attached to the numerous suburban vil
lages which surround Columbus on every
side. We have very many warm per
sonal friends who reside in them, and
their citizens have always stood squarely
up to the Knui ihkk-Scn. It is on ac
count of tliis genuine interest we feel in
these places that we to-day extend them
an earnest invitation to carefully examine
into the desirability of a residence in
this city. Specially is this invitation
given to our Alabama neighbors wtio,
“so near, are yet so far," having a river
between us, and who live under the laws
of another state. Far-seeing and prudent
people always look to making invest
ments where there is stronger probability
of enhancement of value; where safe
laws protect one’s rip lit s, and where,
when we choose a residence, tlie most
health ami comfort appears and taxa
tion is highest. In all these conditions
Columbus is not found lacking, and in
many of them she otters great advan-

she could not well lie improved upon. In

honorable men, she passes current at her
face value. Sin- is the fairest of all, and
sometimes, though not often, the frailest
of all. She is at once the poet’s dream,
the warrior's inspiration, the tlieuieoftlu-
statesman, and the charming actuality of
the fact that the total state and county l
taxes in this county are this year only
