THOMASTON, GA., SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 15, 1870.
POPULAR BOARDING SCHOOLS
A writer in the Old Guard for septembor,
in a paper uj-on female fashion, has the fol
lowing t-harp, but not iDC >rrect remarks on
modern fem ie education :
“\V hat young !adv, now-a-daya,or ra h
er how many in a thousand, cares a straw
foe solnj acquirements ? The highest style
cf accomplishment in this age is to master
a certain k nd of music, the grace of person,
and to read French passably. The accom
plishment of this launcher* upon the world
of fashion a finished Indy. It is not for
mental cnltivaiion that thousands of young
p;;r s besiege our seminaries every yea/.
Ihe idea, .(self, is a humorous or e. The
solid part of education is bn.adiy lain down
in the circu ars and catal ogues, but has no
ex stence in the daily curriculum of nines
tenths nt .ur fashionable schools. That
fact is incontrovertible as any ever penned.
Educators are in no wise tbe responsible
panies. Society establishes the standard,
and institutions patronized by the influen
tial, must accept the popular decision or die
for want of support Study is as distateful
to our modern young ladies as medicine is
to a sick man Through three or four long
years the inmates of these fashionable in
titutions manage to mn over the course of
study, arid when the day of graduation ar
rives, well dressed and grace ladies appear
on the stage, who read effu-dons, nine cases
in every t-rn, plagiarized or written by friend
or teacher; and then a white-ribboned dip
loma, with due ceremony, is awarded ; then
a farewell, and another instalment, of fash
ionably-educated ladies is launched into
the bosom of society. How small a stock of
wisdom they gather in all these years is
perfectly astounding. Their heads are full
of music and grace and their feet full of
dance, and they are marvels of etiquette;
but of useful things, of sound culture, of
solid attainments, drawn from books, and
life and th there is not enough to
steady the head of a ten-year old. Think
of the thousands just such as these annually
bowing themselves into the fashionable
world Iu the new field they practic what
they were taught at their alma mater; here
they deal out, with confidence, the narrow
viewe, the sickly nothings they manage to
catch through the school drill ; and more
empty and giddy heads are added to the
army of devotees at the shrine of folly and
fashion. Their thoughts are all dreams,
anu toese dreams about extravagance of
dress—what to wear, how to gain applause
—all of tbe outward, and nothing of the in
ner life. The face and body are decorated,
and days consumed in contrivances to beau
tity the person, while the mind is barren as
a sand-bank, and the heart unweeded »>f
brambles and walled with marble. Moral
ice and mental mud are the gifts they pos
sess, and rhe only legacy with which they
begin the battle of life. From thyjt hour
{ r vurd, while there is a dollar s>command,
tune and means are lavishly expended in
the race, iu order to pass to the accepted
standard, to attract notice and bid for flat
tery and praise, no matter from whom.
And all this is done in the face of an im
measurable sacrifice. At the cost of mind
and modesty, and all the noblest gifts which
are the heritage of woman, and at last,
when the farce is end a d, if brain enough is
left to know it, a solemn conviction that all
was vanity, shadow and madness, and that
never more can the steps be retracted.
For such, there can be no remission. And
mothers are not a whit less guilty than
their daughters. They never condemn or
utter a protest. They drop easily and with
open eyes into the tide as it passes and go
out as spectators to their daughter’s exposi
tion —aye. often to their shame; and what
is remarkable and irreconcilable, are flat
tend at (he attention the daughters receive,
the eyes leveled at them, and the bold jests
circulated for everybody’s ears.”

FRANCE LOOKS TO AMERICA.
Baltimore Sun.
It is stated in a Paris dispatch of yester
day that Jules Favre, of the French repub
lican committee of defence, is awaiting a
reply to his telegram recently sent to the
United States government, which it is
thought will have great effect throughout
the country. It is natural that republican
France, already encouraged hv Austria and
England should look to the United States
for recognition and congratulation, for
France whs not only the ally by whose aid
wo achieved our national independence, but
was the frst to imitate our example in the
esfabushinent of a republic; and as we
have b«en tbe first to extend the hand ot
sympathy to all other republics in the Old
World din South America and to France
herself on two memorable occasions, she
may well anticipate like sympathy at this
time. It is honorable to our country that
such is its sympathy with the rights of man
that wherever there is a great uprising for
lihrety in the Old World, the eyes of all
turned for words of cheer to this young re
public. Whatever the military prospects
of France in this war, all lovers of progress
must hope that her new leaders will prove
to be true statesmen, conduct her affairs
skillfully, and be warned by the errors
which ruined former republican experi
ments in that country to avoid the rocks
up n which thev were wrecked. The re
moval i f'the Empi-e. the establishment of
a republic, and the proposition by its lead
ers to abolish the standing army, present
France in anew position —a position of
political and moral grandeur which must
command the respect of aii free people, and
which takes away every ground of griev
ance. Tho American people would be false
to all their traditions and instincts if they
failed to appreciate the true significance of
the proposition to abolish a standing army.
We have lately referred to General Tnchu’s
expressed preference of the idea ot armed
nations to that of standing armies, and ihe
proposed great change in ti.e French mili
tary system may he due in part to his in
spiration. Even a mixed system like that
of Prussia, while and engii e ot deep >tism
in the hands <>f absolute rules, might be
made a compact and invulnerable shield for
republics. The abolition of the standing
army need not leave a country defenceless,
but, on the o *ntrary, as Gen. Trochu has
already showD in his able work on the sub
ject, may be succeeded by a more powerful
and reliable organization, making the de
fenders and the people one. It is to be
presumed that if the proposed change is
made in France the future rulers of that
country, whether royal or repuplican, will
be wise enough to have her in such a state
of preparedness for war—as long as that
barbarnuß institution is maintained among
man—as her late masters have not been
able to effect with the position of a standing
army. All is yet uncertain, however, as to
the government of France.
A ll 'MACE AB UT THE EMPRESS EUGENIE
How She Once Became Engaged to a
Virginian. — A correspondent of the Lynch
burg (Va.) Reduldiean relates the follow
ing bit of romance about the Empress
Eugenie:
In 1851 the uncle of the writer resided as
American Minister at Paris, with a large
family around him, At this time appear* and
in society there Eugenie Marie de Guzman.
Countess of Montijo,a lovelv person and an
aristocratic name securing her brilliant
conquests in the society, and constituting
her one of the most famous ladies in Paris
It was thought, arid indeed frtely remarked,
that her mother was more ambitious than
herself; that the former designed for her
some great alliance, while Eugine herself
appeared a model of simple sincerity, a girl
who would choose to consult her heart in
any matrimonial affair. Her sister had just
married the Duke of Alba and Berwich, a
lineal descendant of James 11. of England ;
ard the worthy mother, D >una Maria, no
doubt designed at least and equal matrimo
nial destiny for the more beautiful of h r :r
daughter? But the heart is not always to
be controlled, even in the most aristocratic
life, or to yield to its exactions coven
ience. Eugenie lost hers t«» a fine looking
blonde Virginian, young William C. Rives,
son of the American Minister. They were
engaged to be married. But Aunt Judv
Rives, a Virginia matron, vfry decided and
angular iri her scruples, interfered and
broke off the match; the Countess was too
“fast” for her old Virginia views of social
sobriety. The woman for whom future had
reserved so much escaped the comparative
ly humble m itch that her heart had deci
ded upen —the destiny of a quiet Virginia
housewife—:o ascend the thr ne of France.
Alas, wnat other contrasts may yet remain
for her? If an event had been ordered dif
feren ly, if a prospective mother- in-iaw bad
proved c 'mplacent, the Empress, the wo
man who has adnorned the throne of France
and displayed to the world the charms of
Cleopatra, might at this momenc he a quiet
country matron, living in a farm house near
Cobham Depot, c unty of Albemarle, and

Tue Situation of Paris.—A correspon
dent of the Lnnd >n Times, writing from
Paris, says : ‘ Judging from present indica
tions I think the Prussians will walk into
Paris at the first serious attack No works
constructed ot stone can stand against
Kruppe’s cannon at the range at which the
Prussians, owing to their recent advances,
can place them. On the other hand, the
World’s London special of the 4rh says :
It is understood that the garison of Paris
now consists of 350 000 National Guards
50,000 regulars of the line and 300,000
Garde Mobile. These regiments and bat*
t ilions are drilled incessantly, and it ie co» •
ti iently believed in the city that the army
of Paris alone will at no distant date be
m ire than able to asurae the offensive with
success. There has been no street rioting
or fighting whatever. The whole German
forces now occupying the lines before Paris
consists of seven army corp numbering 280,-
000 men, beside cavalry, wieh will proba
bly bring the total up to 330,000 or 341>,000
men.
And a special to the Telegram says;
The result of Prussian operations thus far
in front of paris is summarized in a special
dispatch from a correspondent at Versail es,
who teiegrapes that there has been no im*»
portaot progress u ade in the siege up to
the Ist of October, and it is evident that the
French in Paris have fully availed them
selves of the long delay in the German ad
vance upon the capital.
Spreading op the News.—Cities differ
in the methods ot spreading news before
the people. In New York big bulletin
boards serve the purposes of whetting the
reader’s appetite. In Paris, the orna
mented kiosks at the street corners display
all the papers of the hour without flaming
bulletins, or other indications of their con
tents. Y>u buy and satisfy yourselves.
In London tbe newsboys and news agents
are provided at the office of publication with
huge printed placards, bearing standing
announcements of the latest intelligence
printed, not upon white paper, hut on a
printed page of the newspaper itself.
Tnese placards are not posted up on tne
wail but laid flat in the gutter, and long
lines of people stand in rows alo;.g the
curbstones, reading with bent necks and
eager eyes the story of the day, which lies
spread out at their feet. If the wind blows
the newsboy gathers small stones, one of
which at each corner of the sheet keeps it
m place, and it might be added, to tbe last
ir:g credit of the cabmen, that they show
sufficient regard for tbe reading publio to
keep their wheels off the attractive broad
die.
A Curious In-urasce Case. —ln Wash
ington, a curious case has arisen between
the heirs of a French Count, who shot
himself a few days afier Paraded committed
suicide, and an insurance company It
seems that a short time before the Count
shor himself, he insured his life in a Com
pany in that city, that resists payment,
because they say that a letter was written
by him week* before the insurance was af
fected, in which he expressed an intention
to commit eu cide. The neirs of the Count
threaten to enforce payment. It is alleged
that he a-ked tbe insurance people at the
time whether ihe m >ney would be paid his
wue in case he committed suicide ac any
time, and was told that if he should become
crazy and put an end to his life, the
w.>uld be paid the same as if he should die
from naturil cau-es. —lnfelligenrer
A City S-»ld Out fok Taxes —Pensaco
la, Florida, has been sold o*.u ; and the joke
is t iat she has bid herself in. The carpet
baggers and scalawags who run the city
government had levied illegal taxes that
t. e city would not pav, and the property
was pm up for sale for taxes. Nobody
would bid, and the city bought in the pro
perty. The next move, we suppose, will
be t> expel the citizens from tbe property,
and we shall th* n s* e a city with, ut iu
hubitanis, and owned by a c< r > ra i >n that
has no oonetiruente, — Savannah Acbertrser.
