New Orleans Tlmes-Democrat.J All husbands find fault with their cieals. I know this to he true, be cause Mr. Bowser says so. I think it uothiug strange wbeu Mr. Bowser sits down to his diuuer and begins: “Humph! Same old corued beef!” “Yes, iny dear; it’s the same corned beef you ordered as you went down this morning.’’ “Ob, it is! 11 didn’t know but it was some I ordered a year ago! What do you call this?” “Potatoes, of course.” “Potatoes, eh? I’ll try and remem ber that name. And what’s this?" “Cabbage, my love.” “Oh! I didn’t knoyv but what it was wood-pulp, my love! Was this bread made since ilie yvar?” “Certainly. It is only two days old.” “Humph! Baying some poorcoflee again, I see! Look at that! That stud looks as it it wus dipped out of a mud hole!” “But you ordered this very coflee yo. rseif only night before last.” He growls and eats, and eats and growls, and I’ve got used to it. It is only now aud then that he proceeds to violence. The other day he ex pressed bis fondness fur pumpkin pie, and I ordered the cook to make two or three. We bad oue brought onatsup per, and as soon as Mr. Bowser saw n he sternly inquired: ‘What do you call that performance there? When was it born, aud where is it going to?” “Mr. Bowser, you said, you wanted some pumpkin pie.” “Yes.” “Well, here it is, and as good a one as you ever ate; I made it myself, af ter mother’s favorite recipe.” “Mrs. Bowser, do you call that a pumpkin pie?” “I do, sir.” “Theu I want to he branded a fool! What do you take me for, anyway? Don’t you suppose I was eatingpuuip- kin pies before you were born?" “Why isn’t it a pumpkin pie?” “Why isn’t a boot-leg a boot? Where is your other crust?" “But pumpkin pies don’t have but one crust.” “Don’t they? Mrs. Bowser, you can deceive the cook, for she is a confiding foreigner, aud you can stuff most any yarn down our poor little bsby, but don’t try to bamboozle me. It won’t work. I’m glad for your sake that your mother isn’t here to laugh at you.” lu two days I had a letter from his mother, affirming that there was no upper crust to a pumpkin pie, and I brought my own mother over in the flesh as a further witness, but what did Mr. Bowser do but loudly ex claim : “Bosh! You old women have for gotten half you know! Youarethink- ing about pudding and milk, you are. Of course there is no upper crust to pudding and milk, and I never said there was.” He cost me a good girl last week by one of his whims. I happened to won der aloud during the evening if she had put her bread to raise,when be prompt ly inquired: “Mrs. Bowser, do you know why bread rises?” “Because of the yeast.” “But why does the yeast expand the dough?” “Because it does.” “Exactly. You also live because you do, aDd that’s all you know about it! You ought to be ashamed of your ignorance of natural philosophy. I’ll see if the girl knows any better.” He went out and inquired: “Jane, have you put the bread to raise?” “Yes, sir,” “Do you expect it to raise?” “Of course.” “Why don’t you expect it to fall?” •‘Are you running this kitchen?” she sharply demanded. “Virtually, yes. My object Is to see how well you are posted on natural philosophy. Why does the bread raise instead of fall?” “Because it’s a fool, and I’m anoth er for staying In a place where a man is allowed to ben-buzzy about the kitchen! I’ll leave in the morning!” And leave she did, and all the con solation I got from Mr. Bowser as he came up to dinner was: “It’s a good thing she left. She might have mixed something togeth er which would have ^caused our deaths. Come, now, hurry up the din ner.” Mr. Bowser has improved some in the direction of taking care of the ba by. I can now leave them together as long as fifteen minutes without fear that one will kill the other by trying some experiment. They bad been to gether about seven minutes the other day while I was un-stairs, and when I came down Mr. Bowser seemed agi tated and whispered to me: “I’ve suspected it all along!” “What?” “That our child was somewhat of a monstrosity! Look at that!” And he pointed to a soft spot on the child’s head where a throb could be detected. “Every child has the same,” I re plied in a reassuring voice. “Oh! they have, eh! What infants’ asylum have you been matron of? Perhaps I married the mother instead of the daughter! I tell you that’s* freak of nature, that Is, and I shan’t be surprised to come home any day and find a horn beginning to sprout.” bouyancy of healthy business activity, was far from being equal either in en- e-gv or extent to the “boom” now convulsing t be South. For it is con- vn’-'on, indeed. It is an industrial earthquake, cou- vul«:ngalike the face of nature, the character of society, the hahits and thoughts of men. From New Orleans io Louisiana to the Monnugabela riv er in West Virginia, this convulsion is going on with a steady, though bounding pulse that bespeaks not the weakness of abnormal and conse quently of morbid growth, but the rugged strength of healthy develop ment. Cities are springing up liae magic. The traveler passes to-day over a bleak and desolate tract, to which, on returning in a year, he finds a large aud flourishing city. Land increases i » selling price many fold in a week. -The silence of the wilder- nes9gives place tothe bustle and noise of a densely populated community. Ft rtunes are accumulated In a day. Worn out old farms wjjerethe “crack er” and the “clay eaters” have essay ed with but partial success for years past to make a scanty living-have be come truck farms. Men’s wages, from ten dollars per month and scanty board, have gone to three aud four and even five dollars per day. Man is in deed subduing this Southern earth aud cultivating it. The centre of this great activity, if centre it can be called where unwont ed energy prevails all around, is the region embraced in the southern part of the Appalachian ra- go and its low er foothills and extendiug a hundred miles or more on either side of the range east and west. It i9 the choi cest part ef the United States for cli mate. It is the healthiest part. The soil is, oj an average, equal to any. It is the choicest deposit of mineral wealth, from gold aud gems to iron aud alkaline earths. It is a- virgin Italy without its paupers, its poverty, its plagues, its sirocco aud its malaria. It is Southern Spain witnout its ener vating heat and its priest-ridden su perstitions, its crime aud its poverty It is a laud just near en. ugh to the sun for men to becomefully ripe with out excess or deficiency. And it is the Auglo-Saxou race iu ins highest development that inhabit and domi nate that land. Given the finest cli mate, therichest natural region and the most energetic meu that the world can boast of, there is but little iu the out look which even the _ost cynical can construe into disappointment or fail ure. Ou the coulrary, iu the growth of this boom, in the continuous devel opment of this favored region, we may look for the favorable solution of many of the problems that now threaten evil to our institutions and to our onward progress.

National Review.] The usual retort, when women com plain of the want of remunerative em ployment is that they should not work, but find men to support them. As there are 500,000 more women than men in England, it is obviously im possible that every woman should have a husband. This state of things is as bad iu Germany, also. The pre ponderance of the women over the men is greatest in the professional and upper middle classes. Among the richer aristocracy of England, aud the absolutely working people, the sexes are still equal in number, and woman can still marry. But the sous of cler gymen, officers, civil servants, law yers, doctors, aud some of the country gentry, find the struggle of existence too great in this kingdom ; they emi grate or leave the country by joining tne military or naval service. Their sisters all remain at home, unable to find husbands, aud uneducated for work, even for domestic work. These superfluous women most undoubtedly, as a body, perform the first duty of their sex—that of beiDg charming— they are often handsome, aro gener ally well mannered and well dressed. They are “chariniDg,” but there is no one m charm. They know very well that their chances of marriage are al most nil: therefore should a solitary suitor with even a modestcompetency appear, they feel driven to accept the first man who asks them, whether they care for him or not, and most generally they do not. Their parents wish to get rid of them, so they marry without love. An evil arises out of this, more ghastly than can be de scribed. The marriage of con venience is a recognized social institution abroad. lit England, iu this nineteenth ceutu- rv, the women of the upper middle class adopt it without acknowledging it. However we may affect to deny it, there is a vast amount- of married unhappiness in all classes. The fault is sometimes ascribed to the present degeneracy of women and sometimes to the deterioration of men. Tue fault really lies in our social system, which gives a woman neither work nor mon ey, and obliges her to sell herself be fore she has lost heronly saleable com modities—youth and beauty. As there exists four “superfluous wo men” to one man, the female has no choice, while the lordly male has the greater number from which to pick and choose.

News.] A gentleman now residing in Palatka, several years ago bail occa sion, in the ordinary transaction of business, to call on an eminent lawyer for the loan of a sum of money for a gentleman, offering a mortgage on valuable property as collateral for the same. The lawyer had a great deal of this kind of business on band, aud asked the young man: “D<> you know what amortgage is?” “Yes, sir,” replied the gentleman. “Do you realize its full signifi cance?” “Well, I don’t know that I do.” What the lawyer said so itnjjress- ed the young man that he wrote it down. Here it is, and it is full of meat: “I’ll tell you,” eaid the lawyer, “in the range of sound and profane litera ture perhaps there is nothing record ed that has such staying properties. A mortgage can be depended upon to stick closer than a brother. Day after day it is right there; nor does the slightest tendency to slumber impair its vigor iu the night.

Philadelphia Record.J The handsome Mexican onyx clock which stands iu the reception room of the city residence of Mr. Ge -rge W. Childs, at tbe southeast corner of Twenty-second and Walnut streets, has been much admired by the thou sands of visitors to that hospitable mansion, few of whom probably know the history of the expensive time keeper, wbich is recalled by the death ot Le Grand Lockwood in New York. Duriug the Paris exposition of 1867 Mr. Lockwood, who was a visitor, became especially enamored of Ibia strikingly beautiful clock, whose base, four feet in height, supported a superb silver statuette of liberty, swinging from oue baud a pendulum. Mr. Lockwood, who was then very wealthy, determined to own this clock, and in the auction of exhibited articles bought it, thought tbe Czar of all tbe Rus.-ias, to whom time waa then of moment, was a competitor in the bidding. Bafely transported to Norwalk, Couu., Mr. Lockwood’s home, the costly time-piece was much admired by tbe visitors to Mr. Lock wood’s house, aud by none more than Mr. aud Mrs. Geo. w. Childs. Several years later Mr. Lockwood’s bouse and its tnauy articles of vertu were offered fur sale, aud at the suggestion of hia good wife Mr. Cuilds determined to buy this cluck. Arrived at the sale, aud tbe clock put up, Mr. Childs’ first bid w as $3,UU0. A strauger silting im mediately bebiud him raised him $500. Mr. Childs saw the raise and raised back $500, wben the astonished strauger rea-htng forward remarked: “Sir, I come from A. T. Stewart with orders to get that clock, and I must have it.” “I don’t care if you come from Gol- couda,” was the rtply of the Philadel- phtau, aud he kept raising tho bid of his opponent, much to the auction eer’s sa'isfactiou, uutii be had offered $6,500, at which figure Stewart’s man weakened. Mr. Cbilds removed the timekeeper to his city residence, where it nuw ticks and tells that time is flying. Dropped Her Eyebrow. Boston Herald. ] A Boston fair one, or perhaps, con sidering me circumstances, I should say “unfair” oue, whose charms near ly seventy years have somewhat blighted, has been sojourning at a fashionable winter resort for several weeks for the g -ud of her health and spirits. Her toilets have rivaled the late Mrs. Stewart’s in extensiveness aud expense, aud her make-up has been all that blooming two-and-twen- •y might iu safety swear to. Perpetu al youth reigned on her toilet table and reflected tlself in the waviest tress es of ebon hue, peachy cheeks and coral lips, skillful dentistry and all those means of grace employed by women who hate to grow old. Coquet tish laces ou the bead and about the throat, aud diamonds everywhere sof tened tnese painful facts,and the near sighted world exclaimed, what a well preserved dowager! Tbe other morn ing, however, even the blindest vis-a- vis was forced to admit something wss wrong in the construction. What bad bappeued uq one precisely knew until chance brought a keen-eyed young sinner to the breakfast table.

Ninety-nine times in a hundred the man who “can’t afford” his miDd and his family three cents worth of men tal and moral stimulus a week, can afford to fill his skin full of rot-gut whisky fifty-two times a year, and can afford to nse tobacco until his breath would knock tbe core out of an ink 'oiler at twenty paces.
