A writer in fashion gushes (oftli as follows: “A stylish priestess in the temple of fashion looks very like a perambulating conflagration. Lurid i ibbotiH leap about her shapely limbs, glowing tisme envelope her head and clasps her white throat in blooil-red coils ; starting lines of dune dart in and on', and down her dark garments and even sliino be tween the soft kid ot little boots.’’ A horse, no matter how vicious and obstinate lie may be when at tempts are made to shoe him can be rendered quiet and manageable by making him inspire, during the ope ration, a few drops of the etheral ot narsely, dropped on a Imnkerehief. A largo number of trials of this sub stance have been made with the most troublesome and violent ani mals, and in every case with perfect success.

Whatever tie result we breathe easier .-rid fed better. If <bid lias seen proper to change our chief Rulers we shall quietly submit and hope that retirement and rest will improve their health, and should i hey ever return to rule may they find themselves better prepared to promote the general good- From such blessings, if the will of God be so, I would not detain them, no not for a day. Should their reign con tinue we cannot do bettor than prac tice the precept given bv St. Raul, “sr.pplieutious, prayers etc., for all men and for a l that are in auihor- I'v.” The end of all this is, “that we may lead quiet and peaceable lives in all god’tncss and honesty.” I hope you w ill not understand me to intimate that a change in adniin istrati' n will do away with the ne cessity lor prayer. Anew adminis tration, though letter because less j bloody, would fine itself exposed I and threatened on every side. With its friends to reward, its policy to I shape, its pledges to redeem, its ! enemies to conciliate and control, it occupies no easy no enviable posi tion. lie is a wise man, .and that is n great party that learns to econo mize or utilize promotion. Stepping upward in the w orld not (infrequent ly discloses traits that had heen unseen in some sequestered spot, traits too that we have seen and warm'y censured in others. The political press has said much on the subject of reform. It is a good word. Dj we mean it ? VVhat kind ? How far should it extend ? When and where shall it begin? Wlutt does the country need? What would God have? These are ques tions (all hut the last) started by pol iticians and the people should see that hey answer them. If reform means :to more than putting the “outs” in and tho ‘‘ii.s’’ out, if expenses remain the same, if lotteries are to be sus tained by the Shale, if private houses must swell the tide of corporate wealth if offices are disturbed with out regard to qualifications, if men owing hundreds, and living on thous ands, are screened by the majesty of the law, it legislation licenses the' violation ot the Sabbath, if it tis - the litneftd whisky traffic as the aboli tionist did the negro question—hav ing no marked regard to flesh and : blood, but agitating to gain or retain thee, in short it reform is not sincere, ; radical, reftehihg down and j m ils ng tlie very fount sin of thought and action the country, the t/u j icj-ie cannot hope for any -O id p.rmanent prosperity. 1 like ■ etoMU, but i* oust be real if it vottld save, A me Georgian [ see the metssi'y of political parties’ have inv ih etded pi ( fiTenee, and re j ire when i: succeeds, but my j y is mixed with tremiiiug.

Eugene P' Speer, of the Chitlin News, is a candidate I r Clerk of the I lon - e of IT’; rcsenaa’ives, and the Hotf-e will do well to elect him to fill the position, lie is fully compe tent and well qualified, and it would aflord ns much pleasure to v,-e him (limed. The I.’.Grange lie porter in speaking of him says; “There are tw o excellent masons why we desire to see Mr. Speer elected, and why he should he elected. One of these is that he is perfectly acquainted with the duties and responsibilities of the office, and is well qualified to till it. During the last L gislature he was journalizing clerk of the House, and occupied a s.milar position, we be lieve, in one or two former Legisla tures. If be is elected the duties of the office will be performed in every respect as they should be, as he is both a competent and accurate busi ness man. “The otiier reason mentioned that ’ commends him to the good oraces ( ° * and the suffrage of the members of the Home, is that if elected, he is determined to have the work of his department done with a force greatly reduced (roui that of the last Legis lature. Tae gouging done by the clerical department of the Legisla ture lias been shameful, and the office .and chief clerk ot either house should be given to no man who would not promise tc appoint his subordinates "oil the view t>f getting the work done with the smallest possible ‘dree Ttiis, we understand, .Mr. Speer has promi-cii to do; and on this ground and the other one previously named, we commend him to the members elect of the next House of Repre sentatives.” “ And the Lord called Samuel.” T I PKARCE.
