(Constitutionalist ani> liemtblie. 13V JAMES GARDNER, California Items. I The leading event of interest and one which ! ■ . U , eu the chief topic of discussion in political j during the past fortnight, is the election Bi,‘. state and country officers which was held on 'j instant. In this county the Whigs ob an average majority of 695 for State otfi _ for county officers the honors are about ■” ,iy divided. The returns from several of the R v itier counties have not yet been received, ; Bithere is still doubt as to the result for tiovem ! ■ The vote is very close: both parties claim the tßictory. and the official returns can alone decide IKhe rietory. The remainder of the Democratic ticket, including Messrs. E. C. Marshall |m,"] McCorkle, for Congress, are elected. The will be Democratic in both branches, J will no doubt elect a Democrat to the U. S. immediately after organizing. The vote ■ - -ighout the state is small. _ \ y ios t destructive lire visited Marysville on H e night of the 30th of August, by which three H uire squares, including upwards of eighty houses Kud property valuer! at 5500,000, were consumed, ■ill the 10th of September, the same place was ■ , am visited by a disastrous fire, which destroy- K ;wenty-five buildings and a large amount of Haluable merchandise. Both fires are supposed ■ohave been the work of incendiaries. ■ The Nicaragua route has been opened by the ■rrival of the steamer Pacific from San Juan, in ■ little over 10 days. She left again for San Juan Hi the 6th inst. ; ■_'! step has been taken by the ■ Yfj* ns ot the Southern counties, desirous of ■,N ‘ Jvftie State and forming a Territorial Gov ■ fVxJ'mf.that portion. Two addresses have ■..A so secure concert of action, and a Convention of delegates has been called to as semble in Santa Barbara on the third Monday Hu October. Delegates have already been ap pointed to attend from Santa Clara, San Diego, Knd other counties. All the members of the legislature recently elected from that section of Eie"State are pledged to urge a division at the enduing session. Crime has most sensibly diminished through out the State, and no execution has taken place, either here or in the interior, since the sailing of the last steamer. The Indians in the southern art of the State are quiet; those in the North, in t'rmitlad and Klamath counties, are becoming lomewhat troublesome. The gold diggings continue to yield rich re turns tothe labors of the mmers. The auriferous quartz veins are being extensively worked, and generally With great success. The amount ship ed by the steamer Panama, which leaves to-day, 51.7090, exhibits no falling off in the production of gold in our State. In the dry diggings miners ire only waiting for the rainy season, to take mt large amounts ot gold. San Francisco has recovered from the two peat conflagrations of May and June, and has iern rebuilt in far better style than before. Numerous fireproof brick and stone buildings lave been erected, and many others have been ommenced. Altogether, the condition of affairs n our State is highly satisfactory. The Prospects of California.—' There is io doubt that the emigration to and from Cali ornia is very; nearly balanced at the present ime. The facts, that the emigration of the last •ear is small, that the returns for capital invest 'd are comparatively light, that some uncertain y and alarm has pervaded the public mind, and he general profits to all classes have been less ened. though unpleasant and unfortunate, are not import, when it is recollected that the yield of gold during the present year has been from twenty-five to fifty per cent, more than in the previous one, and that the agricultural and other resources of the country hat e been devel oiied at least a thousand fold. The excitement relative to California gold is now over. But California is still where she was, and just as rich in precious metal to-day as she, was prior to the extraction of the three hundred millions which have been taken from her soil. The gold which has been carried away, is as no thing—literally nothing—to that which remains; and the success of her miners, as a general thing, was never so great as on this very day. It is certain that more public attention has been at tracted by the richness of the quartz discoveries, within the month, than by the prospects in the Placer. W e hear occasionally of fortunate “strikes. ’ among the canons by parties of explorers in search of new Placer deposits, but we hear oi tener of, and public interest is more elated by, discoveries of Quartz veins in different parts of the State. The following mining article relates the pros pects in the Southern parts as accurately and as fully, perhaps, as the present state of affairs in that region can be determined from the meagre reports in circulation. “The mines are yielding, at the present time, unexampled returns to industrious labor; and the aggregate yield for the next three months will be greater than in any previous corresponding period. “From Mokelum»e Hill we have received the most cheering intelligence. The miners have discovered the ore in spots where they never be fore dreamed of looking for it; and it would ap pear fronj'the accounts that there is not an inch of ground in that region where the soil is not, strongly impregnated with the precious metal. "The accounts from the bars on the Toulumne ana the Mariposa mines are quite as gratifying. Husin ess is brisk, and rich mineral developments are daily made.” , , Vote For Governor. —We give the latest reliable returns of the recent election for Gov ernor. From these, Reading (w.) appears to be ‘250 ahead. Trinity, San Luis Obispo, K lamath and SanTfieoo are still to be heard from. Pas senge«®y the Chesapeake, which arrived on Satu:faWnight. are of opinion that Trinity and Kalmi-Swill give Reading a small majority. The wite is exceedingly close, and the official returns alone can deside the result. The rest of tiie Democratic State ticket runs considerably ahead of Bigler, and are all elected, with the ex ception possibly of the candidate for Surveyor General. Mr. Herron, the Whig candidate for this office, runs nearly as well as Reading. The Next Legislature. —From reliable re turns thus far received, the Whigs have elected two State Senators and the Democrats eleven. One Whig and five Democratic Senators hold over. The Senate consists o: 23 members. To the Assembly fourteen Whigs, twenty-eight De mocrats and two Independents have been elect ed. The House consists of 63 members —of which 32 is a majority. The counties to be heard from will undoubtedly give the Democrats a clear majority. That party will then have both branches of the Legislature and the election of !-’• S. Senator will rest with them. Marriage of the Musqcito King’s Sister. —A correspondent of the New-t 'rleans Pica yune gives the following amusing, but evidently exaggerated account of the late marriage of the Princess Adelaide, sister to the famous Musquito Kmg: Greytown, Sept. 11,1851. The day dawned with its usual splendor; my* nidi of feathered songsters filled the air with “*eir sweet melodies; the placid water in the of Bluefields were undisturbed by a single ri pple, and the little niggers set on their haunches ■grinning with pleasure and waiting for sunrise. •vJ nature, in fine, was in a sweet repose. Sud dealythe spell was broken. The sound of a was heard from the distant hills, startling JR. f the quiet citizens of Bluefields from their slum ! bers. The signal was answered from every hill . and rivulet in the vicinity. These sounds were followed by the barking of dogs, screeching of parrots, and bleating of goats, and all the dis cordant sounds known on earth seemed mingled in sweet confusion. The martial music approach ed nearer and nearer, and increased in volume until I fancied that Pharoah had risen from his slumbers, and was about to enter Bluefields in his flaming chariot, to be present at the royal marriage. In a few moments, about three hun dred half naked Indians made their appearance at the main entrance that leads to the palace. The Princess had arisen from her couch of tigers’ skins, and was standing at the main gate of the palace, barefooted and devouring a raw plantain. The King soon made his appearance, and ad dressed his subjects in the following eloquent language :“ Me big King. My sister go marry nigger. Me no like it. Nigger disgrace Indian. Cussed shame—l drown myself!” His Majesty could say no more. Overcome with grief, he entered the palace, threw himself upon a pile of dried hides, and there relieved the anguish of his soul by giving vent to a flood of tears. “ Woh!” said his Majesty, “es me, big King, feel so much bad cause my sister marry nigger, how common Mexican feel when him dog die ?” The royal palace was tastefully decorated with highly scentel hides. Every preparation being made for the celebration, tne Princess entered the Palace hall unattended except by her pet goat. Her beautiful black hair greased with | kiss um fat, hung in profusion over her shoulders, and contrasted finely with her splendid dress, which was made of a coffee sack. On the mid dle finger of her right hand she wore a rich and costly tin ring, made from a sardine box. The guests were all assembled, but the happy lover had not yet arrived. The Princess became im patient, and went to seek him. She found him playing at marbles. She accosted him thus: “Jim, weddin all ready an you no cum!” Jim replied that “he had cum to the elusion not to marry, cos if he did Victory wood’nt give her no more penshun.” The Princess was terrified; but a lucky thought struck her. “Jim,” said she, “bimeby my brother die, then you'll be King. The words had their effect, Jim threw his arm around the neck of the Princess; their lips met; the saund that followed was like that heard pulling a bull out of the mire. They pro ceeded to the palace. The King had thrown off his India robber crown, left the throne, (which was a whiskey barrel) and vamosed. '1 he ceremony being over, a bull was led forth to be slaughtered. The poor creature was sup ported on each side by two stout men, whilst a third gave the fatal blow. The animal yielded up his life like a good bull, and as all gentleman ly bulls ought to do, whose carcases aie to lie devoured on like occasions. The throne was now tapped; the whiskey flowed freely, and the guests became men y. — The feast came to an end ; the last drop of \\ his key was drained from the throne; a tremen lous blast was blown from the rams’ horns of all the Mexicans of the King's household, and the giand party broke up. Jim is luxuriating at Bluefi Ids, waiting for the King to die. He says “it is his contention to visit the ’Nited States as soon as de equinomical storm be ober.” A Circassian Favorite. —The favorite wife was a Circassian, and a fairer vision it would not be easy to see. Intellectual in expression she could hardly be called, yet she was full of digni ty, as well as pliant grace and sweetness. Her large blacx eyes, beaming with a soft and steady radiance, seemed as if they would have yielded light in the dai Wiess ; and the heavy waves of her hair, which, in the excitement of the tumul tuous scene, she carelessly flung over her shoul ders, gleamed like a mirror. Her complexion was the most exquisite I have ever seen—a mouth of pearly purity, being tinged with a color unlike that of flower or of fruit, of bud or of ber ry, but which reminded me of the vivid and deli cate tints which sometimes streak the inside of a shell. Though tall she seemed as light as if she had been an embodied cloud, hovering over the carpets like a child that does not feel the weight of its body; and though stately in the intervals of rest, her mirth was a sort of rapture. She, too, had that peculiar luxuriousness of aspect, in no degree opposed to modesty, which belongs to the cast; around her lips was wreathed, in their stillness, an expression at once pleasurable and pathetic, which seemed to leave with regret whatever they had rested on, and in parting to leave something behind ; and in aIL her soft and witching beauty she reminded me of Browning’s lines— -11 No swan-soft woman, rubbed in lucid oils, Tho gift of an enamored god, more fair.” Consul Owen removed. —President Fillmore has removed Mr. Owen, the American Consul at Havana, whose criminal neglect of duty in the case of the fifty Americans who were shot at Havana has provoked such universal condemna tion from all except the whig partisan press in the United States. The act of removal docs not strike us favora bly. If the administration had not been partireps criminis in the matter, it would have been but simple justice. If the sentiments of Mr. Fill more, issued to the world in his proclamation, had not warranted the conduct of his agent, then this removal would not have struck us with the dubious appearance it now does. But taking in to consideration the whole course of the admin istration—timid, wavering, and reprehensible as it was—the present act appears like one of treachery. It resembles the act of a principal, who, having involved himself in an unpopular transaction, endeavors to clear h’mself by using his power to throw the odium upon his subordi nate accomplices. Mr. Owen was guilty of a serious misdemeanor, but he can plead in excuse ot it the high authori ty of the President’s proclamation. His fault, in our eye, was that he did not disregard the plain injuction of that proclamation, and act as became an American Consul. But this, in the eye of the administration, should have been no fault. He acted out the spirit of the President’s published instructions. If the administration repented them, itself, and not its servants, should have been the victim. The honorable way would have been for Mr. Fillmore to resign, and leave the task of removing Mr. Owen to his successor. Then we could have ascribed to him sincere re gret for the course he had taken. But now he punishes his instrument, while he himself is be yond reach.— Poughkeepsie Tekgraph. Alias Two Per Cent, a Month! —We never saw the other ends of some of the wires of Wall street better designated than in the fol lowing passage from an article in the Herald, on “Sunday in New-York” : “ If, during tne week, the stranger should be surprised at the intense activity and insane ea gerness to make money, which prevail among our business men, let him look at their hand some wives and daughters as they sail out to church in full Sunday apparel, and he will won der no longer. This vast, uninterrupted stream of twenty-five dollar bonnets, fifty dollars silks, yard-wide ribbons, embroidered shawls, velvet robes, and costly feathers, bespeaks an unparal leled, extravagance in the families of the indus trious and prosperous many who make up the great body of the population of every large city. The expensive and ostentatious style of this im mense class—both in their dress and manner of living—is one of the most strking characteristics of our country and our age. No where else in AUGUSTA, GEORGIA, FR *he world can one-tenth of so great a number of expensively (we do not say well) dressed wo men he seen in the same time or compass, as in Broadway on a fine Sunday morning. When we encountered this brilliant procession, last Sunday, and remembered that money was worth two per cent a month in Wall street, we could not help roughly estimating the enormous in terest the husbands and the fathers of New-York bestow upon their wives and daughters.”— Home Journal. AUGUSTA, GA. THURSDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 23. Election of Superior Court Judges by the People. From the election returns it appears that al though there was scarcely a Corporal guard who voted against giving the elections to the people. Yet those in favor of this policy have made but a very meagre demonstration at the polls. The election returns show the following vote: By the People, 9,634 “ “ Legislature. 696 We sincerely regret this for we apprehend the Legislature will not cousider itself instructed by the vote to transfer these elections from their own hands into those of the people. The ab sence of opposition to the change is proba bly one reason for the meagreness of the vote. We believe there was not a paper in the State which took open ground against it, and therefore nothing like animated discussion took place on the merits of the question. This is one of the rare cases in which a measure received in jury, and may be defeated by its popularity.— Had it had more enemies, and open opposers, it would have lared better. Had the issue been made, and its opponents taken the field in vigorous opposition, the proposition to give the election of the Judges to the people would have swept the State. If either party had identified itself with op position to this change in the mode of election, it would have assumed a weight troublesome to carry. Even Constitutional Unionism would have been seriously embarrassed by if, and might have broken down under it, notwithstanding all its other clap trap advantages. But this was a question very properly kept clear of the political issues dividing the two par ties, and, in the heat of the discussion was over looked, and unfortunately voters neglected to en dorse their preference on their ballots. We hope, notwithstanding, this matter will he : thoroughly discussed before the Legislature, and that it will decide in favor of giving these elec tions to the people. We are sure they will be deposited in better hands if this is done, for then some chance will exist for Judges to be elevated on the strength of their professional abilities and fitness for the judicial office. Most candid men - who have seen the mode in which aspirants so those stations have too often succeeded before the Legislature, and the grounds on which their claims are decided, will admit that intel lectual merit and attainment have too often been secondary considerations in determining the re sult. A Merited Rebuke. The Mobile Herald 6f Tribune, in the follow ing plain and sensible talk, reads a lesson to the citizens of Sumter county, Alabama, which will apply with equal force and truth to many counties in this State, and in fact throughout the South. When our planters learn to raise more within themselves, and make the producing of cotton a less absorbing object, they will keep at home those vast streams of wealth which are now drained off to fertilize other sections and im poverish our own. What is said of the capacities of the South j here is eminently true. When will she realize j the picture of independence, wealth and power j sketched in the last sentence of the following I article : The Sumter County Whig—published at Liv ingston in this state—says that, after a long spell j of warm weather, there has been rain enough to ; lay the dust. The sky then cleared up and be- ! came brazen, indicating no manner of prospect ! of rain ever again. The merchants of Livingston, hopeless of wa- ! ter, were having their goods shipped by other \ than the ordinary ways—some to Prairie Bluff and others to Kemp’s Landing, at prices for trans portation enormously high. The Sumter Whig seems to be contracting a familiarity with necessity, as though it expected presently to shake hands with Famine. It writes thus: “While this state of affairs lasts, will our coun try friends remembei us and send in something for us to live on ? It is true we have had a little prairie beef at 4 and 5 cents per pound, and so far flour has been plenty at $4,50 per hundred pounds, but this is about all. We can get no but ter, chickens, eggs, nor nothing!—not even corn, the staff of life. Some planters have been around us wanting to know if we would give them one dollar per bushel for corn, —and vve understood on yesterday that there was some western bacon in town at 17 cents per pound. Will some of our country friends bring us in some potatoes and peas! If they do, the world may wag on.” If these men in Sumter were not our brethren we should say let them starve ! They deserve no better fate. No county any where in the world has more fertile lands than this of Sumter. It will produce ; potatoes, corn, wheat, oats, apples, pears, peas, j beets, cabbage, cauliflowers, hogs, neat cattle, sheep, chickens—and every thing else that civiliz- j ed and luxurious man needs: and this, too, with out any manner of nursing or coaxing. Its peo- j pie ought to be able to stand up and say to all the rest of the world, “You may go. We need j none of your aid!” For rivers, in emergencies,; they ought to have a profound contempt. The ; price of bacon or com in this or any other mart \ ought to be to them as the price of opium in the i marts of Canton—yet Sumter has so stultified j itself that, upon the coming of a rain—whose absence is not singular in this region—it falls into : travail, like pismires suddenly overtaken in Au- j gust by a frost—and has no rest save in the hope that the elements will let fall their sympathetic 1 tears and fill up their rivers to bring bacon and j flour from the far west! But Sumter is not alone in this lamentable and j beggarly condition : the whole drouth Alabama j is hardly more provident or independent. And ; yet it were impossible to find in any part of the world—with an enlightened system of agricul ture and a proper knowledge ol political economy —a section which could be more independent than this. It ought to produce a surplus of every thing. It ought to compete with the west in corn and meat. In the industrial arts its cities DAY, OCTOBER 24, 1851. ! ought to be hives of mechanical skill, and. in ! stead of being the servant of foreign dealers, it i ought t° gi' e laws to our cotton trade and govern : commerce with an exclusiveness which no alien j influence could shake. The Code of Honor. Many persons have expressed a desire to ob tain a copy of The Code of Honor, prepared by Ex-Governor Wilson, of S. C., and published by him in pamphlet form in 1838. As the edition is now nearly out of print, and in compliance with many requests, we avail ourselves of the permission to publishers of newspapers, given on the title page, and present it entire to our rea 1- ers. It will be found on the fourth page of our Daily and Tri-Weekly. The Isabel. It will be seen by the advertisement of the agent that the days of departure of this steamer from Charleston is changed from the Ist and 15th of each month, to the Sth and 22d. The Isabel is one of the finest steamers which runs out of Charleston, and by the above change, will make Charleston a favorite point for California adven i turers, to take their departure from, as she will connect with the Chagres mail steamer at Ha vana, as also with the New-Orleans steamers.— Passengers taking the Isabel at Charleston will be conveyed to California for at least twenty dollars less than by any other route, and in less time than from New-York. The reported fruads in Jlhe Customs, by Mr. Herrick of New York, have been compromised by the payment of a certain per centage. Ex-Alderman Deoven, who distinguished him self in the Mexican war, committed suicide in New York on Friday afternoon. Pecuniary dif ficulties, it is said, led to the rash act. The authorties of Jersey City intend inviting Kossuth to visit that city on his arrival in this country. The United States mail steamer Washinton left New York at noon on Thursday for South ampton and Bremen. The United States steamer Humboldt left New-York, at noon on Tuesday, for Southamp ton and Havre. She takes out 6-1 passengers and $280,000 in specie. The new propeller Pioneer left New-York at noon on Saturday for Liverpool, with 24 first cabin jiassengers, and 136 in the second cabin. Receipts of Cotton Yesterday. —The re ceipts of cotton at this port yesterday amount to 9,638 bales, brought by the following steamers: Gem 2.389 St. James 1,725 Emperor 1,966 E. D. White... .1,612 Concordia 1,878 Other boats 64 Total 9,638 [A. O. Pic., nth inst. Direct Trade.— We yesterday made a few remarks on a plan that is now in progress for rendering our Planters independent of New York and Liverpool, by exporting themselves their produce to those parts, which are now sup plied with it through the medium of houses in those cities. To-day we have the gratification of noticing a circumstance, which may well be regarded as an era in the commercial history of Charleston—that is, the arrival of the British ship Grasmere, Captain Vaile. from Calcutta, with eight hundred bales of Gunny bagging fi r the house of Messrs. John Frances & Co.— This is the first direct communication with the East and this city, that has taken place within the recollection of our oldest merchants, and with a tonnage, which is rapidity increasing, and which would do credit to any port, we venture to say that the day is not far distant when our com merce with the East will be in no measure in ferior to even that of Boston. Messrs. J. Fraser & Co. are likewise the im porters of 1980 bags of Coffee, by the Hanoverian schooner Oste, which arrived yesterday from Rio de Janeiro—thus setting an example which is worthy of imitation—and for which they de serve the thanks of our citizens. Let the sug gestions of our correspondent “G.” be adopted relative to the deepening of our harbor, and the system of direct trade—export as well as import —systematically pursued, and Charleston must become the Emporium of the South.— Charleston Courier, 2‘id inst. Mississippi Senators. —The next session of the Mississippi Legislature will probably have two United States Senators to elect—Jefferson Davis having already resigned his seat, and Foote having promised to resign his. Judge Sharkey, a prominet Whig, is, it is said, a candidate for Davis’ vacancy. On the otherhand the Adver tiser, one ol the two Democratic Compromise papers of Mississippi, proposes, J udge Price, a “ Stirling and talented Democrat,” and says that “ the Democratic party upon the old issues have a large majority in the State, and are clearly en titled to both Senators.”— Sav. Georgian. Pomegranite Cotton. —We were handed a specimen of this cotton, grown on the plantation of Mr. W. E. Caldweil, in this district, which shows a decided superiority over the common cotton. One limb of a stalk contained twenty bolls of a large size, and mostly with five locks or pods. Two open bolls of the same were shown to us by Mr. Thos. Taylor, of this district, hav ing five pods, which looked like they might con tain almost a third more than an ordinary Petit Gulf boll with the same number of pods.—Lau rensville Herald. The River. —Numbers of steamboatmen are here, and have been for some time, waiting for the upper rivers to rise sufficiently to enable them to resume tbeir usual employment. The Mississippi has not been known to be so low as it is at present, towards the Ohio,for many years. Usually, at this season of the year, the large up river boats are running, and doing a heavy busi ness in bringing down Western produce. Old steamboatmen say they have rarely known the Mississippi, Ohio, and other main rivers to be at this period of the fall, in so unbeatable a condi tion. From various accounts we have received by letter and otherwise, we should think that the excessive dry weather in the interior had much to do with this low stage of water. Much injury must be done to business men in conse quence, to farmers and forwarders. One injury it will do our city that may hereafter have results of no beneficial character .to us. Many mer chants and farmers in the Western States will be induced to send their flour and bacon by the numerous rail roads to New York and Boston instead of again depending on the capricious dis position of the Ohio, Wabash and Mississippi. Those railroads! those railroads! When we think of them—extending into Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, TennesseeJ and Kentucky—of the immense amount of produce they carry off from our ware houses, we almost wish the Mississippi could be filled up, or evaporated, or done away with in some summary way, and New Orleans forced to j construct a half dozen iron roads at once, in or der to keep herjsupplied with the necessaries of existence. We have the case of a gentleman who arrived here the other day from Cincinnati, after only twenty-five days confinement on steamboats! What say the lovers of the river to that? Some of our friends are even now waiting at various points on the Ohio and Mississippi for a raise in tne water, and a chance boat, in order to return to their homes and business. How long they will be obliged to wait, it is impossi ble to tell. They had better return by railroad to New York, and take a steamer for this place. In the meantime we remain in hopes that Father Mississippi will go on a bend-erand get high.— N. O. Picayune. Official—Congressional Returns. First District. Counties. Jackson. Hopkins.

[lna mere introduction to the mention of Wells’s new dancing academy, the following sensible re marks were made by the accomplished editress of the Verdict. —J “When girls have grown up to that awkward age when they are all legs and arms, when they have sat for years (those years during which their form is hourly growing) with protruding shoulders, walked with slouching gait—then, just as the awkward girl is required to be an elegant lady, she is taken to a dancing-master, and dan cing-lessons are administered to her. None of the evils we have signalized are noticed, but she is taught, with these ungainly limbs, the wait* the polka, or any other dance that may be the fashion. Now, a girl is called on to dance per haps twenty times in the course of a year, and lor only live or six years of her life. She is des tined to walk, sit and move all her life. It is essential, therefore, that she should be taught all these things; for, in the first place, grace ia essential to beauty and essential to health; yes to health, tor grace means that every limb should be in its proper position, and should fulfil its al lotted duties. Therefore, unless this is accom plished, the whole system of our nature is im paired, and some evil will ensue. In this coun try, of all others, this subject requires particular attention. How many lovely faces are here mar red by narrw contracted chests, curved spines and pointed elbows'? Then, women walk here with the twitter of a bird, hopping from branch to branch. They must be taught to walk, that “ft T>: “«!“»? strength bv a proper balance of the body. Women must be graceful, for from harmony of motion we judge of harmony of mind Besides they are, in the world of slovenliness and toil, the embodiment of the beautful, and are bound to be graceful in all they do, in order that we may not lose all memory of classical perfection. —Home Journal.
