A Female College at ColmiitHie.
We ought to have one. You, wo
ought to hove hod one years ugo.
Every man in Columbus who has
thought about it two minutes has
said, “what u pity that we have not a
llmt-ulnss Female College here!”
Long agb we might to have had a
school second to none in the South.
If u vote were taken now we beliove
there would not be in the city twenty
men who would not only vote to have
a colloge, but would make a contri
bution towards building up such an
institution. It would be a benefit and
a blessing to every man, woman and
child in the place. The most unin
formed, therefore, could adduce many
reasons why wo ought to go to work
to build up a school of this kind. In
this editorial we purpose showing the
necessity of tho college as a matter of
economy, waiving for the present
other and weightier reasons.
Since the war Columbus and vicini
ty has sent annually to other schools
an averago number of ten girls. Each
of those ton girls has caused an an
nual expenditure of money at other
cities of not less than one thousand
dollars, making ten thousand a year
spent away from home. This sum
in ton years makes a total of one
hundred thousand dollars in cash,
taken from our own city. Tho rail
road expenses in sending ton girls to
Virginia and bringing them home
once or twice a year would amount to
a sum near a thousand dollars, which
in ten years would approximate ten
thousand dollars—a total sufficient to
erect quite a handsome building for
school purposes.
Now, these facts make sufficient
data upon which to base the assertion
that we are too poor to continue this
rate of expense. We must provide a
school that will not only keep this
money at home, but that will bring
eapitul from other places into our
midst. We can do thin. Why, just
think of it: If we had u well-organized
and equipped college here, we would
bring from the country around (he
city, an area described by a radius of
fifty miles, and also from the territo
ry on either side of the river, in Geor
gia, Alabama and Florida, at least
fifty or sixty girls a year. Besides
swelling tho current of trade that
comes to us from t hat territory, those
girls would add to tiro currency of
our city from twenty to thirty thou
sand dollars. Add to this the amount
saved to tho city by koeping its own
girls at homo to be educated, and the
sum is very much larger. .
Now It is eoonomy to provide for
what we need. Whatever will en
hance the growth and prosjmrity of
our city is what wo nood. A college
will greatly enhance the growth and
prosperity of Columbus. Ergo, it will
be economy to have one. Other cities
in tho State havo tiieir colleges, male
and female. We should have, and
must havo ours. The great good of
having an institution of learning hero
Is shown by the great good felt at
other places. In five years the school,
if properly inaugurated and conduct
ed, would give back to the city and
county more than tho amount requi
site to put the enterprise under way.
Of course It will take money to put it
under way. A small Amount from
every business man will be sufficient.
No man will miss tho contribution,
but he is suro to feel the returns it
will make. Our people contributed
$2,800 to the school at Hamilton.
How much will they contribute to an
enterprise started right bore in our
midst? Only think how much cheaper
and bettor it will bo to educate your
daughters here at home. Let no man
think that he is too poor to make a
(contribution. Tho amounts contrib
uted by individuals will be inconsid
erable when compared with the indi
vidual and general good.
Well, t hen, do you want the college?
Yes you do. An; you willing to do
anything towards its establishment?
Yes wo beliove you are. You feel an
interest in tho growth of your city
and you must be concerned in what
ever will enhance its growth. Don’t
say oithor that the scheme is a vis
ionary, one. The necessity of the
school Is too patent to every one to
have tho enterprise dubbed “visiona
ry.'” It is a want of tho community
and country, and will bo erected
sooner or later. The sooner it is es
tablished the bettor.

“The Columbus Times thinks that ‘F.
Bozeman will bo appointed Assistant, to
the Treasurer.' Does the Time* want to
bet t hat the Governor will veto the whole
bill?"
The abovo wo clip from the Atlanta
Herald. Tho Herald is mistaken in
our position. We said it was rumored
that Dr. Bozeman would be appointed
Clerk in the Treasurer’s Office, but
we do not think the Doctor will ac
cept the position if offered, and if
appointed we don’t beliove the Treas
urer will recognize tho appointment.
We are positive in our opinion that
Oov. Smith should veto the bill as
an act of simple justice to Col. Jones.
We are also positive in our belief that
the action of the Finance Committee
was a farce; and we still have perfect
faith in the INTEGRITY, tho CAPA
BILITY, and the EFFICIENCY of
“honest Jack Jones.”

A I.IKI. IN MMIETY.
Who cares whether a woman is
educated or not? What man wants
a lady of culture for a wife ? What
woman desires to elevate herself to a
position where she will bo tho ac
knowledged Intellectual superior of
the majority of her sex ? Society
offers no premium for culture among
females; and a majority of the sex
seem to huve no ambition for any
thing bettor than to bo tho social
drudges that they are. I am only a
school girl, but I atn not too young to
see how little respect Is paid to tho
mental development of my sex; and
if my age prevents me from speaking
of older people, I oari, nevertheless,
speak of those who are of the same
age with myself. Among this class
aro very few who seem to think or
care very much übotit the develop
ment of their minds and hearts. The
larger class of girls are thinking only
of what they are to be in society.
“To have a good time as a young
lady”; that's the acme of their hopes.
To have a plenty of beaux -to Is;
courted and flattered to be a popular
young lady; this is what a girl craves.
Such a young lady needs very little
that sho could learn from books. She
only wants a pretty face, stylish man
ners, and a stylish costume. Her con
versation never turns upon books;
she is in society, and cares naught for
anything that is not quite the fash
ion, and quite in society. Tiie boys
would not like her and pay her so
much attention, if she wore anything
else than a devotee of society.
80, what difference does it make
whether a girl is educated or not, if
she only knows the art of making
herself popular with tho boys? Bhe
wants to be popular, her futlier wunts
her to be popular, her mother wants
her to be popular, her brother wants
her to be popular and when sho is
popular everybody is happy, except
her sweetheart aud hor jealous rival.
The best catalogue of accomplish
ments sho can have is the one that
has the fewest articles of culture.
The disconsolate Fannie Janes be
wailed her fate to hor aunt in this
manner: "I do wish I were like Jane
Seymour. Bhe is so popular. Bhe
plays delightfully on the piano,
sings, goes to all tho entertainments,
waltzes, engages a half-dozen men in
a conversation, and makes oil of them
crazy about hor. Oh! she is so fasci
nating. Her little airs, and winning
ways, do make her so attractive.”
And Fannie, turned away to throw
herself on sofa with an air of
l>eevish discontent. "My dear,” said
her aunt, “it is Very sinful of you to
feel and talk so. You not only break
the commandment in coveting Miss
Seymour’s popularity, but you ure ;
longing for that, the possession Of i
which would make you very unhappy. >
All of Miss Seymour’s charms, and
her flatterers, are of very little worth
in the eyes of a sensible woman.
When the former havo fadod, the lat- :
ter will fawn no more. The world is
already full of sad stories of these
girls, who flit through society for a
few seasons and then vanish out of
sight to be wretched women all the
rest of their lives. The most unhappy
women I have ever known, were tho
greatest belles as young ladies. You 1
must illl your mind with other things
than such accomplishments as Miss
Seymour’s, if you wish to bo either a
happy or a useful woman.”
Fannie was in a pout all through
this advice, but she will not have to
grow very much older before site sees
how much truth there is in it. But
no matter how true that is, it is still
truer that young girls think very little
about a question which concerns their
future happiness. Instead of filling
their minds with knowledge that will
bring pleasure through all time, they
fret and worry over trifles that vanish ■
in a day, and baubles that burst as
soon as they are grai>ed. Society is
largely responsible for this, because
it hinges a girl’s iiopularity, and
hence that for which she strives, on
a few fading charms and uncertain
attractions. There ought to be a
higher standard there ought to bl
ether requisites, to ensure a mon
solid popularity.

Postal Law* and Retrain! ions.
Page 213, section 340. "Contrac
tors aud mail carriers may carry
newspapers out of the mails, for
sale or distribution among regular'
subscribers; but when such papers
are placed in the post office for de- 1
livery, postago must bo charged and
collected. Contractors and other
persons may also carry books,
phamplets, magazines and newspa
pers (not intended for immediate
distribution,! done up in packages as
merchandise, and addressed to some
bona fide agent or dealer.”
From this law, it will be seen that
papers can bo carried without going
through the mails.
Righteous Retribution.— lf the ,

Paris, Feb. 23,1875.
Tire “while cravat" agitation still
reigns; without tills tie on state occa
sions, no young man on entering life
can expect to gain admission either
into the elegant or the serious world.
Under the First Empire and the Re
storation, black satin was the favor
ite cravat; It was considered to be
stoical and military. However, after
tho death of Charles X In exile, ac
cording to the modern fashion for
French sovereigns to die, tho aristoc
racy decreed the white cravat, and
since 1837, it remains the social law
of tho land. When Verger was direc
tor of the Itulian opera, he vainly es
sayed to impose the white tie, and it
was oven suggested, that ho should
form a depot of these cravats in the
green-room. The manager of the
new opera is struggling to regenerate
French elegance in this respect,
which was a homage also rendered
when tho Sovereign visited the opera.
The republic ought to insist on t h is po-1
litenoss being paid now to the ladies.
The new opera continues to be crowd
ed, not to listen to Meyerbeer, Rossi- (
ni, or Auber, but to view the inside of!
the building, this, and the desire to
hear Mine. Fargueil scream, “Mur
der, murder,” in the drama of Hose
Michel, constitute the reigning theat
rical novelties.
A cured lunatic has just published
something like a diary of his resi
dence of some years in the Vllle-Ev
rard. He first pays a compliment
to the studied cares bestowed by the
resident physicians and sisters of
charity. The author almost regrets
his leaving the asylum; it is said
"there is a pleasure in being mad,
which only madmen know.” Among
the inmates It a;.pears there Is a pro
fessor of English, who imitates the
actions of any one who converses
with him; another patient daily
lodges a complaint against the police
for electrifying him; one man be
lieves he is composed of butter, gives
n wide berth to everyone for fear they
would melt Idm with their breath,
and lie ever avoids the sunshine; a
forest-guard complains of the spar
rows picking up crumbs in the gar
den, and displays a medal—the cover
of a sardine box, that he has received
us a recompense for his vigilance;
one inmate marches on the tips of
his toes, as iiis enemies have sown
needles in his path; there is a notary
gazes all day in one direction, expect
ing tho sease.rpent to arrive and de
vour tho doctors; an old barrister of
GO years standing famous once Iu the
world as a professor of jurisprudence,
acts on the theory that the way to
live long is never to open your eyes,
but to converse ail the same in that
state; a stock-broker believes his
throat to be stopped and his stomach
to be congealed; a dinner plate is af
fixed to his chest while he eats, which
he explains produces a thaw; an edi
tor pronounces urhi et orhi, that ho
awaits tho return of Thiers to power,
in order to lock up MacMahon. The
violent lunatics aro treated even kind
ly; the most dangerous is a soldier,
but who is appeased the moment he
is supplied with an old violifi and a
lath for a bow; he then serenades the
keepers. The female patients gen
erally decline to oat, alleging they
irave no mouths, and it is by agree
ing with them, that they succeed in
making them eat their meals. Cold
baths form the only punishment in
case of insubordination.
The doctors appear not to have
enough of work on their hands dur
ing these influenza and rheumatic
times; so they draw attention to the
subject of hats, as worn by both
sexes. Originally tho head was cov
ered as a protection against heat, not
as against cold. Mercury and shep
herds were tho first to wear a head
dress; and the. Laeediemonians wore
a kind of mitre to distinguish them
from their Blavcs. Ladies generally
i have enough of liuir to protect their
: heads from ooM, and tire obligatory 1
j |iaraeol wiil ward off beat; it is thus .
j not necessary to construct bonnets as .
high as the tow- r of Babel, loaded j
> with birds and flowers so as to recall'
a poultry yard or a flower garden. :
There is no necessity for ladies it j
seems to change the materials of
their hats, according to the season,
and two hats are enougii for an en- j
Hire year. The wife of Marcus Aure-
I Hus was considered extravagant be- j
causo she used four new bonnets in :
seventeen years! Dr. Nicolas consul- i
ers the Grecian hat the style for the
girl of the period; it was not only
coquettish, but so small, as hardly to
cover her hair dark us the raven’s
wing; he considers the Spanish man
tilla to bo in point of health and ele
gance tho model head dress. How
ever, to wear such requires a Spanish
education. In France tho most an
cient hat is that worn by the clergy;
the best is the Kepi, and the worst
the chimney pot, which like nil pre
sented objects, lives longest. The
fez and the turban are excellent for
persons liable to head-aches and
colds; and for old age and babies, a
night cap is a necessity.
M. Gunzbourg. the Russian banker,
iu his late ball to 600 guests, adopted
an excellent arrangement for the
dancing folks; to the ladies and gen
tlemen he delivered cockades iu
white, red, and blue satin; they were
divided thus into three corps of 25
pairs eacli; to the ladies ho presented
a sheathed dagger, and to the gentle
men a cord with the arms of a French
town emblazoned thereon; at a given
signal an escutcheon was run up, dis
playing the white rosette; the white
cockade wearers then formed eight
lines; at a signal, the ladies drew
their daggers, which opened out into
elegant fans, having the name of a
city thereon; thus the lady with the
“Raven” fan, was sought as a part
ner by the gentleman displaying the
“Raven” card. The fun was only j
equal to the absence of all confusion.j
Then succeeded the turns for the I
rod and the blue.
In every 1,000 marriages in Paris, j
32 of the brides are between the ages j

and 33; and 1 between 38 and 39

\ A weekly periodical, devoted to

i The jury that condemned Moreau
to be guillotined, for poisoning his
two wives, can have a quiet con
science ; the doctors slated that they
analyzed tho stomachs of ten other
dead women, but found no poison,
such being present only in the ease
of the dead wives.
