AH letters should !*e sOUres-ed as below, J. U. Khl). Kcpublieau Oflir.. noviatf Savannah, (it. English mid American Ladies. A writer in Tinsley’s “Magazine” says ; “English women have their out-of door sports as well as the men. They 'row, they ride, they havo archiry moot liugs, and more than (his, they walk out |in every kind of weather. I am not l about to repeat tho old cry that Ameri jean ladies wear thin shoes, fade quickly aDddie early. This cry was never quite true, except in regard to ladies of fash iou ; and such ladies are very much alike all over the world, wearing the same at tire, liking the same life, and coming to the Rame end. But, ut questionably, tbe opening of the New York Central Park—which rendered all American parks suddenly fashionable—and the subsequent and consequent introduction of English walking boots, have greatly beccfitted American women, and have blessed, like anew providence, the American children, I have bad tbe honor of introductions to English mat rons who appeared quite as young as their daughters, and have met an Eng lish lady who assured me that she was a grandmother, although she looked young aud charming, aud handsome enough for a maiden of eighteen ; but 1 think I could ffud a similar phenomena in America, and I have encountered some Engli.-h girls who seemed old enough to bo their own mothers, not to say grand mothers, and ugly enough to sugge-t tbe theory of demonical influences. Tho truth is, that American ladies, as a rale, are as handsome as tbe English, and last just as long; but theirs is a different style of beauty, and each man has his own ideal. I do not want the American women to look like the Eng lish, but I want them to be as healthy, and to introduce to the woild as healthy children. To accomplish this, they should wear warmei under-clothing, walk more, bo more independent of the weather, live more in the open air, and take horreback exercise regularly. Al most every English lady koows bow to ride; that goes without asking ; but in America, although you may be sure that every lady cau thumb a piano, not oue in fifty oan ride. Croquet is not exercise—for which reason, I presume, the American women have been willing to adopt it ; but gardening is a healthy amtisimcnt which most tbe Americans neglect; and iu which English ladies tako the most utmost delight. Foreign ers who re.-ide for any time in Fuglaui soon learn the pleasures (fa garden. 1 have seen an Italiau ptima dona, foi whom ibc ciitics caunot tiud sufficient praise nor the publio adtquate applause digging with a trowel at 6 o’clock iu the morniug; and it is astonishfrg how much interest American residents here take iu an occupation which they scarce ly thought of in their own c untry. Bet ter this than foiming womau’s clubs, or agitating for woman’s rightH, by declar ing woman's wrongs Par better lhan resorting to watering places every turn mor iu quest of rest and streug'h, and returning in the Autumn more fatigued than evtr. English women go to water, ing places also ; but they go fur tbe wa ter and flirt accidentally ; they bathe; they trot about on tbe beach : they make walkiug excursions into the adja cent (ountry ; they are not so particular about tbeir toilets as in town. The Americans go to fl rt, and take the water -accidentally ; they pass the day in fre quent changes of dress fer breakfast, luucb, promenade, drive, dinner, aud evening dance ; go to bed when they should be thinking of getting up, and commit more follies in a few weeks than they can satisfactorily repent cf during :he remainder of the year. Tbe first duty of a woman is to be handsome and healthy, aud the average English womau performs her duty faithfully ; the aver age Amciican womau fails after the handsome half.” Valcf of Beading. —The following should receive the careful attention of every parent, as well as every ynuDg man in the country “A child beginiDg to read becomes de lighted with newspapers, because he reads names things wich are very fa miliar and he will make progress accord ingly. A newspaper, in one year, is I worth a quarter’s schooling to a child, and every father must, coosider that a substantial information is connected with ibis advancement. The mother of a family, being one of its h“ads, and having a more immediate charge of | children, should, herself, be interested. | A ruind, occupied, becomes fortified ! against the ills of life, and is braced 'for any emergency. Children amuse by ! reading or study are, of c- urse, corn-id orate and more easily How i many thoughtless young men have spent thejr earning in tavern or grogshop,who I ought to have been reading ? How many parents, who never spent twenty j dollars for their families, would gladly j b*ve given thousands of dollars to re . claim a sod or daughter, who had igno rantly and thoughtlessly fallen into • temptation.” From the Krai Estate Record. Kemll of ihePmideutial Elec tion iiiiit its Effect on Real Estate. Pendicg tbe Presidential eleotinn, it would not have been proper for a pure ly business journal like tbe “Beal Es tate Record” to have said anything that could have beeu used for partisan effeo!; bat now tha General Grant is, beyond all preadventure, to be our Lext Presi dent, there can be no impropriety in onr speculating as to the future course of tbe real estate market due to that event. In the fint place, it must be notioed that tho bard money par;y has tri umphed iu the election of Gen. Grant. A return to specie paymeut is, we should think, inevitable before his term of office expires. Senator Sumner, who Is a power in tbs party, predicts specie payments by tbe next 4th of July, but this is hardly posible Tbe fall of gold, however, Bbows that Wall street has no faith in tbe present paper inflation. Then, again, it it clear that the elec tion alio aettles the question as iq the payment of the United States bonds in gold. Nor will there bb any attempt to tax these bonds. Now, what will be the obvioos effect of these two significant facts, via., tbe payment of the bonds ib gold when due and an euidy return to specie payment. In tbe first place, it is evident that Government bonds will at once become the most favorite investment in tbe country. Their security, the fact that they must advance in value, and the very high rate of interest they will bear for many yeara to come, will cause a competition for thrm which will take money out of nearly every productive enteiprise. This tendency, with gold constantly falling, will, for a time, make general business not only dull, but there will be financial panics; the first and most serious of whieh will be in the stock market. Tbe past seven years has seen a steady advance iu real estate, which is now double the price, at least in this eity, what it was at that time The next Bur years will see a consider able part of this advanoe lost. We Bhall have money panics as the shrinkage ot values goes on ; there will be forced sales of re<l estate and lower ' prices all aroun 1. In short, the market, from this time forth, will be a bare ojc—’Lc buyers will have the advan tage. These speculations on the future are not ot a cheerful character, and iber will be plenty of sanguine gentlemen to dispute them, especially if in addition to being hopeful they have a large amount of prop< rty to sell at high pri ces ; but the future will tell its own sto r Y The auction season is nearly over iu real estate for this year. The business done has not been very large by this Bgeooy, but a good deal of propei ty has changed hands in a private way, as tbe transfer books at tbe Register’s office show. Next spring, there is every reason to believe there will be an enormous busi ness done in real estate, and unless all tbe signs fail, at lower rates than have been obtained for the past tour years.— Os course, there will he exceptional lo cations where prices will go up ; on tbe upper part of the island, for instance, or along the route of projected steam rail way ; but side property, and especially the bolk of subuiban property, will be mnch cheaper than it has been. The lowering price of gold is ominous of what is to take place in all values. How to Court Iu Churcti. A yoog gentleman happening io sit at church iu a pew odjainiug one in which sat a young lady for whom he conceived a sudden voilent passion, was desirous of emeriti j: ioto a courtship ou the spot, but tbe place not being suiiab'e fora formal dcclartioc, (he case suggested the ft flow ing plau.

The following beautiful compliment to the daughters of Mississippi is from a recent address delivered by Genera! Albert P<ke in De Soto County, Mia eissipi i : “Mothers, wives, sisters, daughters of the men of Mississippi, I cannot speak to you. No angel has touched my lips with the burning coals from the altar of the sacrifices, f leave to others the fine phrases and the empty compdiments that you would not value. Whet you have done in the past ia suf ficient guarantee of your heroism and devotion in the future. You have more than rivalled, you have excelled, the women of Saragossa and Verona, ar.d the Hebrew matrons and maidens who helped to def n 1 the Holy City of Jerusalem against the legions of Ves pasian. You will also do your duty io the days, dark or bright, that are to come. You will teach tho«e who love your fidelity to prinoipde amid all temp tations, to prefer honor to prosperity, and the dangerous truth to the safe and profitable falsehood ; constancy and courage, and tho manly and hope ful endurance that befits a man. You are the conquerers who take all men capitive, and whose silken fetters, stron ger than tempiered steel, we are glad and proud to wear. iDto our souls your eyes shine like stars, and we bow down nnd worship, and in love find Dew strength to undertake great en terprises or endure great calamities.— U 1 flowers brought to us by the angels lrom the Garden of Paradise, you bloom her to bless, to encourage, and to console. We are all your willing slaves. Age gives no exemption from that service; for, in the sad and sober autumn of our days, we still covet the living smile and the loving look that can be ours no more. The sober au tamo of our days! For you, the bright and glad anticipations of the future, the dreams that make youth’s happiness; for us the memories of the past, of joys aud sorrows intermingled of tbe hopes and loves, and bitter dis appointments and cruel losses, of the days that are no more. Our country, also, our own dear Southland that you love bo well, has its memories of the paßt, of a glad, bright down and a morning full of promise, that darkened iDto a day lull of gloom, nnd terror, and disaster. Out of that darkness the fuces of our dead look sadly, and pityingly, and lovingly upon us. They have have not died in vain. The land they died for shall yet reap tr.o frui; of the great sacrifice. Our coun ry, also has its hopes, that are not delu sive, for tiie future To it, the sober autumn days have not come—nor even those of life’s summer. For it, tho rosy days of spiring have not depiarted, though the immortelle.t pilanted by an* gels bloom on many gtavss,” Thk Pkactioai. Sense of Rli.es of Tarle Etequkt.—Among the rules of socr 1 ciequet, many of whioh are un dnubtealy trifling, a good number will be found to be based on sound common sen-f. Consider, for example, that rule of the dinner table—do not ask twice for soup. This appears at first sight both silly and arb lrary. It is, however, a very sensible ordinance' anti is to be jus tifi and by the laws of health and gout ral c mfort and convenience. The soup, b ing a fluid sub-ianoe, oan easily be at . sorbed iasmall quaniities.Jand thus lak- n is a good preparative for tbe solidities of the dium r. If, however, the stomach is deluged with iq the anetite and diges tion become weakened, and there is neither the inclination to e*t nor the power to digest tho more substantial food essential to tbe due nutrition of -he body. As for the convenience or comfort ol tbe singe-plate tule, no one o,an deny it who has looked upon ‘in array es guest whose eager appetite for tbe coming roast is competed to an impatient delay by some social monster capable of asking lor soup twice. The cook in the niean timo is of coarse, thrown out of his cal culations, and the dish, when it does come at last, is ei t hrr sp ib and by over cooking, or cold from being withdrawn so long from tbe fire. Tbe guests thus are not only tried in temper by a pro trated expectation, but balked of tbeir anticipated enjoyment. 'I be advan tage of not putting tbe knife in the mouth will be obvious, we suppose, to all who are conscious that one can cut. Tbeir is an excellent cheu ical reason for that other tabla rule which forbids I tbe use of steel with the fish, the ordi nary sauces of which oombine with that \ motel,and pr ducc a composition neither wholesome or appetizing.— Harper's Bazar. —A spr-rting man remarked of a belle, in tbe habit of wearing low necked dresses, wbo carried ofl a mat rimonial prize in the shape of a rich old widower, that “she won tbe race by a neck IV —There was a quadruple and some what scandalous mariioge in Indiana | the other day. 1 A man married his third s ep mother, wbo had three ohil : dren by hia father, and thiee of bis coueios, brothera, married tbreo of his | wife’s sisters Number one is half brother to bis wife’s children.

It never hurts me.— A cocktail or two in the morning and I’m all right, always.” The bar man had more sympathy for % man on tbe downward road of intern- P'-ranoe than most of bar men have, and he determined to give Jinks a fright. Accordingly, the next morning, when the well-known ring from Jinks' room was heard, tbs bar-tender prepared s very enticing gia cocktail, and placing it on a waiter, surrounded it with sun dry toads, lixxards, small snakes, Ac. This ho ooaveyed to Jinks’ room, that individual, who had loaded himself with “beeiine” the night he/ore rather more heavily than usnal, ncrvoisly awaitingit. “Morning," said Jinks, stretching out a 1 and that trembled some, l glad to see you—devilish dry this morning —uhafs them TANARUS" (starting back in horror.) “Why, what do you mean ?” said the xan, in innocent wonder. “YVhy the toads, snakes and things around tbe tumbler,”said Jinks, shrink ing to the back of the bed and viewing the loathsome reptiles with aversion and dismay, “Why, Jinks, my man, there is noth-- ing around the tumbler-nothing on the waiter except the cocktail ” “I tell you there are " I see snakes, toads and lizz trds there.” “Ab, Jinks, [with a sigh) I was afraid how it would be.

Jinks raised up in bed. “Do you mean to tell me,” said he, “that there ain’t no snakes and things there V' “Most assuredly I do.” Jinks considered a moment, and tbes lying down said, iu a sorrowful voiof and with a mild repellant wave of the hand take, away your oaektail.” The story got out. Jinks found that he was sold, but he quit drinking, for every time he put his nose into a saloon where he used to “infest,” s«.mo one would sing out —“take away your ttc£• tail r H®uA ghastly scientific discovery is repiorted from Turin, where Professor ("’usturant, the celebrated oculist, has, it would nopear, found a way of kill ing animals, by forcing air in o their eyes, w ithin the epnee of a few sec onds, an I, it is thought, almost with out causing them any pain Within the space ol a few minutes four rabbits, three dogs, and a goat were killed in this manner.
