At.l Anon? Women*.— A fftmous
writer thus characterizes women :
Women, as a general rule, arc rot use
fully educated iu this country. They aro
chiefly taught those accomplishments which
the experience of their mothers has proven
to ho best calculated to attract young men,
ami, consequently, to insure husbands.
Music, dancing, French, and Italian, are
considered indispensable to the “finish** of
any young lady, iu these degenerate days,
but the uioro solid qualities which, in the
olden time wore esteemed so necessary in
the female catalogue of charms in the “good
old times,” are out of date. In sooth, they
are pronounced in elegant society, do trop,
and stigmatized as vulgar. Tho woman
who, not many years ago, was a non-profi
cient in the culinary art, and inexpert
with her needle, was deemed an unfit can
didate for matrimony. If she could not
make a rare pie, dish up a ineal in pecu
liarly attractive style, turn out a superior
loaf of bread, knit a pair of stockings with
taste, and sew up garments with exemplary
celebrity, she was shunnod’hy tho male sox,
and pitied by her own, as sadly defective.
But now tout cela ent change ! The woman
dexterous in such performances demon
strates her own unfUucs* lor position in the
world of fashion. Husbands are supposed
to live upon the sound of a piauo, and to
be ready, iu the mast distressing moments,
to go off into harmonic cctask's at the first
intimation of a brilliant duet.. They are
presumed to be totally indifferent in re
spect to what they eat or wear—-to have a
noble contempt for such vulgar things as
shirt buttons—to contemplate a woman too
imaginatively to suspect her culpable of a
knowledge of anything but tho toilette and
belles lettreß.
With this ideal conception of the charac
ter of a husband in their minds, young la
dies necessarily aim only at. the acquisition
of corresponding qualifications. They aim
at M'vtSmentality and romance, instead of
suheTuittia! common sense, and permanent |
.information ! The result is an exuberance
of satisfaction during tbo halcyon days of,
courtship, and tho saccharine hours of tho j
honeymoon: but,when the ••angel of a wife” I
subsides, in time, into the incapable domes- j
tic partner, and the “love of a husband”de
generates into tho satiated master of the
house, then comes a season of remorse, of
melancholy, of mutual recrimination and
mutual animosity. Should fate make such
a helpless wife a widow, and necessity throw
her upon her own resources for the support
of herself and family, unhappy indeed must
she be in her destitution. Her expensive
accomplishments will neither provide bread
for her children nor consolation for herself.
Music will not silence the cry of hunger:
dancing will not exorcise the gaunt fiend
we call Want. Sorrow refuses to submit to
the Syren song of an affected mirth. Sel
dom can one of the wasted talents be
turned, in such a dilemma, to available ac
count: and all the precious years invested
in the accumulation of those showy noth
ings present themselves like so many ghosts
of misspent moments, but to chide the past
for its extravagance, and fill the future
with apprehensions.
Who has not seen instances of just such a
calamity ? Whose experience is not fraught
with some such scenes of anguish ? And
yet, how slight an element of hope would
alter tho picture—how small a knowledge
of the business relations of life—how
little an acquaintance of those homely arts
which enable tho feeblest, by their industry,
spirit, taste, or enterprise remunerative, to
completely change the view, cheer up the
despondent, add a silver lining to the cloud
of grief, and produce a vision of comfort, if
not of independence ! Why not, then, 0,
mothersof America! educate your daughters
to a familiarity with things useful as well
as ornamental ? Why not —oh! why not—
make them practical, as well as interesting,
members of society ?
New Music.— We are indebted to
Messrs. Schreiner & Sons for a cop}’ of the
beautiful song “ Tho Conquered Banner, * 9
words by Rev. M. Ryan, of Nashville, Ten
nessee, and music by L. Hach, of New Or
leans. It is published by Blackman A Bro.
of tho latter city, and is illustrated with a
handsome colored lithographic title page*
The words are beautiful, us those who have
rend them, or heard Capt. Houston recite
them a few nights since, will agree, and tho
music is well adapted to them. Every !
Southern lady who has a piano should get
a copy of this song.

GOLD—Buying 1.48; selling 1.50.
SILVER —Buying 1.40; selling 1.44.
COTTON—There has hern a fair inquiry
to-day for Cotton, but prices maintain the
same standard as in yesterday’s report.
From the Weekly Cotton Circular
of Messrs. William Bryce A Cos., Cotton
Factors, New York, we extract the follow
ing:
New York, July 13th, 1866.
Our own market for the week has been
monotonously quiet, and buyers and hold
ers have equally indifferent as to
operating. Spinners have bought but spar
ingly, seemingly anxious to observe tho
probabilities of the new Tariff becoming a
law, whereby they receive such a glorious
amount of promotion ; the duties on foreign
cott n goods being about doubled. If the
Bill becomes a law spinners will buy with
great freedom, as their stocks aro confess
edly much reduced. With our small ope
rations and free receipts our stock has in
creased to some exteut, yet it is but poorly
assorted. Low grades of Cotton, say Ordi
nary to Low Ordinary, are almost unsale
able ; while the high grades, say Good Mid
dling to Middling Fair, aro exceedingly
scarce; Good Middling being fully four
cents per pound above Middling. The bulk
of the merchantable stock is about Low
Middling, while the demand calls for the
most part for even running average Mid
dlings. So great is this difference that
between Low Middling prices vary four
cents. Silk Cottons are iu demand, and
prices varied according to length of
staple, 45a460 being tho obtainable prices
for Extra Staple Uplands to Texas Silks.
Sea Islands have moved with more anima
tion, although prices have been irregular.
Second qualities arc worth 70a80c; third
qualities, 40a50c ; while thoso of every
high grade are not to bo found.
For Sale.—A fine cow and young
calf are offered for sale, in another column.
Apply at No. 32 Ellis street, or to Mr. R. F.
Bouyer, Newton House.
Wkiohts and Measures.—Persona
are frequently puzzled in their daily trans
aetious to ascertain what such and such
an aitlcle ought to weigh per bushel. Here
is a table which will do well to cut out and
