Woman is the salt and pepper that saves the world from putrefaction. Woman’s worst fault is the too free use of her tongue.

Columbus is growing, it is well gov erned, and it welcomes all good people w ho come to add to its rapidly increas ing population. To none would the wel come be warmer than those who are al most citizens now, and to whom we feel dearly and are attached to by commer- eial'and social tics. Detracting nothing from any place, we have given briefly some of the inducements Columbus oilers such comers. A parsimonious man went to u llogton drug store to have a prescription tilled, “lie sure that you give me good measure,” lie said to the druggist, being afraid that he wouldn’t get his money’s worth. The druggist replied : “If 1 should give you one-sixteenth of a grain more than this prescription calls for yon would tie a dead man in live minutes after taking the dose.” The man wanted the earth and the druggist ought to have let him laid it. mule, tint she may tie drawn to hell heaven by the cords of persuasive love. In the language of a 4th of July toast wo say, “Woman—with all her faults, we love her—still.” IS THE EARTH FLAT! A man named William Carpenter lias ' tagi-s. come down to the footlights to unload a ' It may not be known to all our readers new theory about the earth, lie says it ' and we will be pardoned for alluding to is Hat. It might he well to remark just here, white Mr. Carpenter is trying to pose as an iconoclast, that the Digger Indian scientist, who is sehn at his best about t unrise, just as lie crawls out of a device in the rocks with a stick in his hand to kill a lizzard for breakfast, held and advocated Mr. Carpenter’s theory before the latter’s great-grandfather had emerged from the knee-breeches and spanking state. Carpenter can’t pose us an iconoclast while there arc any old histories to read still lying on the upper shelves. And lit- can’t swing on our front gate and preach any such heresy to us, with all his reasons and eloquence and references, not while there’s a loose brick in the yard. Carpenter is no pa triot, nohow. The ollh-iul scientists of this great American union have investi gated this matter at so much a week, and they have decided that this old frazzled out ,1 1 that wasn't worth lumber room ' in .-pace, until we fellows started our | glorious ivpublimin government on it and . made it respectable, is round —so round it rolls over.

It consists of a tight steel collar, to which is joined a perforated steel mask.” -New York Advertisement. 11 is hoped that this will gvehtly lessen the dangers which have latterly beset our young Woman may not rival men in strength of men. Woman was never so bristling as site is mental culture, their intellects arc more now. Being from time immemorial addicted to subt le, their intuition much sharper and I Pins, woman has always been a source of danger , to impulsive young men, but at tho most the iat- then- will power and self-restraint much ter had nothing to dread beyond torn fingers and stronger. W hen a woman is stubborn larcemted arms. Of late, the practice of wearing nothing can equal her except that of a a dagger in the back hair has become extremely 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- hair pin is to continue it is evident that our young men must provide themselves with some means of defense. The “Face and Neck Protec tor,” advertised above, is designed to meet this want. There is, of course, a possibility that a back hair pin may find its way through the riar. row slits opposite the eyes, but with a little care the danger of an accident of this kind could be reduced to a minimum. Armed with this pro tector a young man could fearlessly mingfc in society or could even go out driving with his best girl. The new invention has been put on the market just in time to be adopted at o ur summer resorts and moonlight picnics, and there is every reason to hope that the list of casualties will be greatly diminished as soon as this admirable de vice for prctection becomes generally known. 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.

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- tKIICs I.IST REST til FI'. Our world would not have been a suc cess without woman.
