DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ENOLIsiI AND

(XI.Vtt.SK TYPES —SPIRIT OF ADVENT! RK
THE I'NDEFntABLE “SOMETH I Mi" AS
A PROTECTION THE OIRL “AVtTU NO
NONSENSE" IN HER.
From the Saturday Review.)
Men of ttie world fue presumed to
have an aeon rate knowledge of t lie
inoriii standing and social condition
of women who arc met with by acci
dent and not vouched fur. They are
supposed not to make mistakes,
though, of course, it is allowed that
at times uvea the aetitest observer
among them may be deceived so far
as to take for twin sisters those who
are not in any way related. Ai the
best, however, l hose exceptional
cases ure very rare. A man who
knows his world is assumed to be
able to understand at a glance what
category to place an unknown wo
man, even though she herself has
not been careful to keep file line of
demarkation sufliuieutly dear, but
has shifted tin? ordinary labelling
and confused the accepted letter
ing. Young women in England
have a great deal of liberty,
more than they have iit any other
country except America. But the
vital difference between America and
England is that there they arc in the
minority, while here they are in ex
cess; hence iu the former country
they are iu tho position of the court
ed choosers, here in that of the glad
to-be-chosen. We need not affect
false sentiment about the matter. 1 f
marriages are often unhappy and
husbands turn out badly, all the same
that girt is considered fortunate who
has found a man willing to marry
her, more oupecially In the ( lass
where marriage portions arc the ex
ception not the rule. Women, there
fore, of the middle elass begin life by
regarding men as prize* which they
are lucky to succeed in winning.
Ttiis of Itself gives a certain tone to
present manners, of which we see the
expression in the greater license of
talk allowed between the two sexes,
in the almost universal prevalence of
slang, in the undeniable fastness of
young women and girls, and in the
lounging familiarity characteristic of
the modern youth ; that is to say, in
the endeavor of women to attract at
tention by false and reckless meth
ods, and the liberties allowed to men
a* the prtZ‘J and privileged class.
Some thirty years ago it would
have been almost impossible to mis
take a modest woman for a courte
san. When in those days the lines
of demarkatlou were blurred, it was
by the courtesan apiug the simplici
ty of the modest, woman, dressing
with studied plainness, as if desirous
not. to attract, attention. Since then
it Idas come to be the ladies who ape
the courtesan iu the showy attractive
ness of their dress. and their utter
abandonment of simplicity; so that
it takes a very practiced eye indeed
to discern which is which, and
whether the pretty young woman,
alone, with rouged checks, blackened
eyelids, whitened forehead, painted
eyebrows, and dyed hair, clothed in
raiment of startling pietures'pteness,
and in a fancy hat of marvellous con
struction, and ns becoming as mar
vellous—whothor this pretty puppet,
dressed up for show, has turned out
into the crowded streets only to he
admitted by the passers-by, or for
something , more than admiration.
Hefe. then, we have the three condi
tions of modern womanhood liber
ty; the fact that men arc lit the mi
nority, anil arcthet efore regarded as
prizes; and close approximation in
speech, bearing and dress between
those who-are respectable uud those
who are not. It, is as well to remember
that between the two classes there
hangs a ragged fringe iff qtuisl
ad ven til reuses; women not entirely j
bad perhaps not bad at all, iu any j
serious sense—but, certainly of a;
more facile and independent kind j
than fathers and brothers for the j
most part approve. They are crea
tures floating on the surface of socie- j
tv, and ready for anything. Always
on the lookout for grist, they are easy 1
of approach, and, having seen a
good deal of life, are amusing and by
no means sq tie mis It.
Sometimes they may have been
nurses On the field; anil at. any rpti: j
they are sure to have traveled much,
in circumstances not always desira-1
hie to detail at length. Wherever
there Is a commotion, there they arc ;
to be found, as ranch in their element :
os Mother Cary’s chickens in a storm j
ready for anything, from nursing
wounded soldiers to living in the des- \
ert alone with Arabs, or studying an- j
atomy in French class-rooms, with
from time to time excursions on to j
English platforms, where they lec
ture on woman’s rights and man’s
iniquities. In this ragged fringe we
com* to the first misleading clue in j
the way of our accomplished man of
the world, who is supposed to be able
to tabulate unknown women at a
glance, and not liable to mistake the :
types. How la any man to know the j
difference (between a woman of this I
class—-moire arid forward—and a girl
who is only imprudently familiar on
the one side, or a masked demirep on
the other? The iinesof demarcation
arc blurred; the distinctive charac
teristics confused** Trio free, famil
iar, oonfident young woman, who ac
cepts a stranger’s advances with the
sacs faeon of a good Bohemian, who ;
is dressed to attract, and lets it be ;
seen that she is not troubled with
false modesty, may be any one of the
Till: DAILY TIMES.
I three. Who oatt tell ? And is it won
derful if her position chances to be
i wrongly assigned ?
j We do not expect our pretty young
women to deny their ordinary wo
) manhood by mortifying garments,
1 nor are they to be condemned as for
ward if they speak beyond monosyl
! lables or enter into a conversation
! with even a stranger. But they might
j make more distinction than they too
I often do between the dress of the
i house and that of the street, reserv
-1 iug for the safety of a known entour
age that excess of attractiveness
! which now they display for the be
; wilderment and misleading of strange
men. And they should also be more
i reticent than many of them are with
people whom they do not know.
They must be strangely ignorant if
; they do not understand the meaning
| of a man’s looks anti tentative ap
i preaches ; if they do not know where
they arc drifting. Hut, indued, any
one beyond first ehilhoof 1 or imbecile
innocence knows quite well after a
time, ami quite sufficiently in time,
where imprudent confidence or unre
flecting love of adventure will land
her if she does not take care. The
peril lies In the belief that it is pos
sible to pull up in such a course at
any moment. In all probability a
girl never means tilings to go too far ;
j but if she will (day with lire, is it. ra-
I tionnl to be sin prised if site is burned?
and can uny one, not a lunatic, expect
to treat men like marionettes, dane
-1 ing only as they are jerked, ami to be
1 made mute and motionless at the wire
puller’s pleasure? Human nature is
pretty titiieh the same now as it ever
was; and tile sons of Adam are as
ready as theirgre.it progenitor to ac
cept tho apple which the daughters
of Eve hold out to them.
The spirit of adventure in these
bold, roving, unblushing days has
certainly been carried to a danger
ous point. Women appear to be .no
longer persuaded that modesty is at
once their distinctive charm and their
best protection; and the safety of
comparative seclusion is an infliction
which they resent as an insult; as,
for instance, in traveling, when la
dies’ carriages arc specially provided
for them, they will rather go into the
smoking saloon than their own. On
the other hand, they talk of doubtful
subjects; on tho other, they paint
and dye and dress like the flaunting
.■features with whom they profess to
be horrified at being confounded.
] There is no intention among any of
them of being the desert rose wasting
its sweetness, or of hiding the light,
of personal charms under bushels of
eoneealiug drapery. The craze for
notoriety, excitement, attention, has
touched them almost all, ami the
bloom is rubbed off long before the
fruit is ripe. Startling portraits In
the academy are matched by their
originals in even vet more startling
attire, posed before their likenesses
for the benefit of a gaping crowd;
1 and the man who itow-a-daymarries
t a pretty girl in her teens marries the
! "flame 1 ’ of half a hundred previous
\ aspirants —confessed or itneonfessed.
Women say their lives are dull;
hence that they are driven into
I these questionable paths for ex
citement and diversion; but those
lof them who have kept to their
duties, nnd made their happiness at
! home, do not find their lives nnin
, toresting or their homes heavy. On
I tho contrary, they find their portion
; by no means a m qigrc oue. uud they
I gladly confess tout if they do all they
| have to do, they have no time left for
repining and non ‘ for the proseon
-1 tion of "advent tites." We say itad-
I viseilly, as a rule no rule, or course,
being without occasional exceptions
| t hat a good girl, who is careful in
| her manners an I m 1 lest, in her dress,
j need not get into trouble anywhere.
That indefinable something which
men are really backward in recog
nizing makes her as safe with a
stranger as with the mythic lion. In
the redundancy of women, men do
I not care to lose their time In philan
, deling about an unresponsive
stranger, and a woman who is rarely
ou guard at every point is very un
fortunate if she cannot travel from
the Land’s End to Jolin O’Uroat’s
without annoyance. If, besides
[ being beautiful, she is free in her
I manner, and audacious in iter attire,
| can she wonder if she runs tin- risk
of being mistaken, and assigned to
I the class with which she has identi
i tied herself by outside appearance?
! Jtis a bad sign when men cease to
; respect women of their own or indeed
of any class, but the women them
i selves are to blame for the intolerably
j flippant and impertinent tone per
vading young society. We do not
want to go back to the formalities of
Sir Charles (iraadisoa, and there is a
winning charm in naturalness not to
be had from the most perfected arti
ficiality. Nevertheless, it slight re
turn to tli" old-world forms of cour
tesy, a little darlt of that stately rev
erence of speech anddenicauor which
our forefathers exaggerated into ped
| antry, would he a gain in times when
I the young men give, as their greatest
praise of a girl, “there is no nonsense
; about Iter” meaning no bnshfulness,
no reserve, no girlish shrinking tnod-
I osty ; while the girls justify tho com
| piiinent by calling the voting men
| "dear boys;” and sometimes, when
| they have less nonsense evert than
! usual, and desire a closer assimila
tion of style, "old men.” This is the
] "form" which is taught, and held up
for admiration In the ladies’novels
jot the day, and it is impossible to
exaggerate the degree in which these
writings have tended to corrupt and
j degrade the sex who chiefly write and
read them. All Ui -sc tilings arc pa
tent. Patent, to •, is the inference
j that when a wont 1. from no fault of
| her own, falls in: .■> trouble, the. suf
fers for the mistake! ami follies of
! iter class and tin* time. Personally
| she may lie wholly blameless; but.
with all these lines of-demarcation
blurred, these distinctive characteris
tics confused, it. is almost, inevitable 1
that there should be mistakes. Un
til we come to a more ethereal condi
tion of existence the burden or self
protection must, we fear, lie on the
women themselves. That, burden is
not very heavy, and the penance jt
includes not very hitter. It is only
that modest women must show what
they arc by a series of negatives, ami
take care hot to expose t hemselves to
misconatruction.by an attractiveness
of out of-door dress, a doubtful man
ner of speech, arid a Bohemian bon
homie of behavior to strangers which
shift the labels, mislead their cpm
panious, and end iu the ednrusioli pt
a mistaken affinity, by wldeli they
themselves are the greatest sufferers
in the end.

I tho Treasury Department, says he is

he came into office, and which is nec
essary to the manipulation and safe

gests, however, that the it,-inks should
appeal to Congress to be relieved from
tho assessment, and that the expen
ses of the bureau should be defrayed
out of the tax on circulation.
Tho following is the financial ex

Cincinnati, Sept. 15. —A private dis

Tho loss of life by last week’s gale,
to say nothing of the vessels and car
goes, js lln- largest for many years.
By the loss of the schooners Onon

. Equinox and Mcndota, and the steam
| barge Evening Star alone, forty lives
| have been sacrificed, and many eases
[ of loss of life yet remain to lie heard
I from.
In the cases of the Equinox and
Mendotn,which comprise thirty.eight
lives out of the forty, there is evi
dence to show that both crafts were
but little better than floating coffins.
The Mondota drew twelve feet of wa
ter when she left here, whereas she
had not loaded as deep as that by two
foot for several years, being so old
as not to be fnstfntbie. It is rrit sur
prising that her engineer and his fam
ily protested before leaving port that
the first gale would send them to the
bottom. Indeed, so well known was
her nrtseaworthiness that ever since
the gale of last week was first report

und Mitjib.
The work originally published under the title
of The New American Cyclop.-khia was com
pleted In I hub, since which time the wide circula
tion which it lias attained in all parts of the
U nited States, and the signal developments which
have taken place In every branch of nclencr, lit
erature and art, have induced the editors and
publishers to submit it to ar. exact and thorough
revision, und to issue anew edition entitled The
Amkiikun Cyclopaedia.
Within the last ten years the progress of dis
covery iu every department of knowledge has
made u new work of reference an imperative
want.
The movement of political affairs bus kept pace
with the discoveries of science, uud their lruitfu
application to tho industrial uml useful arts and
the convenience and reilnetnent of social life.
Great wars and consequent revolutions have oc
curred, involving national changes of peculiar
moment. The civil war of our own country,
which was at its height when the last volume ot
the old work appeared, has happily been ended,
and anew course of commercial and industrial
activity has been commenced.
Large accessions to our geographical kuowl
edge have been made by the Indefatigable ex
plorers of Africa.
The great political revolutions of the last de
cade, with the natural result of the lapse of time,
have brought Into public view a multitude of new
men, whose names are in every one’s mouth, and
of whose lives every oue is curious to know the
particulars. Great battles have been fought and
important sieges maintained, of which tho de
tails arc as yet preserved only in the newspapers
or in the transient publications of the day, but
which ought now to take their place iu perma
nent aiul authentic history.
In preparing tho present edition for the press,
it lias accordingly been the aim of the editors to
bring down the information to the latest possi
ble dates, and to furnish an accurate account of
the most recent discoveries in science, of every
fresh production in literature, and of the newest
inventions in the practical arts, us well as to give
a succinct and original record of the progress of
political and historical events.
The work has been begun after Jong and care
ful preliminary labor, and with the most ample
resources tor currying it ou to a successful term
ination.
None of the original stereotype plates have
been used, blit every page baa been printed ou
new typo, forming iu fact anew Oyclopicdia, with
the same plan and compass as its predecessor,
but with a far greater pecuniary expenditure,
and with such improvements in its coinpdSition
as have been suggested by longer experience and
enlarged knowledge.
The illustrations which aro introduced for the
first time iu the present edition have been added
not for the sake of pictorial effect, but to give
greater lucidity and force to the explanations in
the text. They embrace all branches of science
aud of natural history, and depict the most
famous and remarkable features of scenery,
architecture and art, as well as the various pro
cesses of mechanics and manufactures.
Although intended for instruction rather than
embclishment, no pains have been spared to in
sure their artistic excellence; the cost of their
execution is enormous, ::ud t is believed they
Mill find a welcome reception ilh an admirable
feature al Him (Jyolopn-diti, aud worthy of its
high character.

MALARIA!
Read, Reflect and Act.
If one grain of Vaccine Virus, taken from the
co v's udder ami kept dry for years, thru uiois _
teued, aud the keenest point of a Lancet dipped'
iu it aud drawn gently ou the arm, no as not to
draw tho blood, wIH so improgtiate nnd change
the entire system as to prevent the party vac
cinated from taking ti e most loathsome dis
eases (small pox) for an entire life; again, if the
Celebrated Eucalyptus tree will change an unin
habitable malarial district into a healthy, salu
brious clime, by simply absorbing from the at
moaphere the poison malaria why will not the
proper remedy, properly applied, neutralize and
destroy the poison, known as malaria, and thus
enable parties to inhabit malarial districts with
impunity) 1
We claim that there ts such a remedy, and that
we have prepared it, ami applied it, and proved
it iu our Anti-main rial or Euchymial Belt—and
that persons who will wear this Belt may inhabit
the worst malarial districts without the fear of
ha\mg any diseases arising from malaria; such as
Chills and Fever, Billions or Intermittent Fever,
, Yellow Fever, Jaundice, Enlarged Liver aud
Spleen, Indigestion, Constipation aud Hem
orrhoids. and tha it will cure all the above dis
eases, except the worst cases of Billious and Yel
low Fever.
This is called an Anti-malarial or Euchymial
Belt, us it corrects the humors ot the oody aud
produces u healthy action, invigorating the sys
tem, and thus enabling it to per orrn ita various
duties without fearing the effects of malaria iu
the least.
It has been tried iu thousands of coses without
a failure.
They can be obtained from the proprietors in
any quantity at the Powell Building, junction of
Broad ami Peachtree streets, Atlanta, Ua.
Price for a single Belt $3, or $5 with a guaran
tee that it will cure or the money refunded.

Caution.— This Belt or Pad, like all articles of
merit, is being imitated by parties who ary try
ing to put up a worthless article, ms there is not
a living person, besides ourselves, that knows
the ingredients in it . We are tho patentees, and
have our Belt protected by a Trade Mark.
Sure Cure.—lu another column will be found
two remarkable certificates about the efficacy of
Drs. Willson k Love’s Malarial Belts. The diffi
culty iu the way of using these belts is that they
arc so simple that few can believe that there is
any virtue iu them. When u patient is told to
use one he is very much like Kaamau when told
that, to cure his leprosy, ho had only to bathe, iu
the river Jordan. Hon. John E. Ward saya that
during his stay iu China, as Minister, these belts
were used with great .success as preventives of
cholera. We know a case where a lady had been
suffering with chills for more than a year, and
was finally induced to adopt one of these belts.
She has not had a return of the chills since, amt
she is fully persuaded that It is owing to the belt.
Dr. Willson’s terms aro very fair—no cure, no
pay.
*#-Read the following certificates:
Atlanta, Ga., June 5, 1875.
Messrs. Love k Willson; Gentlemen—lu Apri
last I was taken sick with regular Fever and
Ague, having it every alternate day. Alter it had
run on me for two weeks, J was induced to trv
one of your Anti-malarial belts; so I discarded all
medicine, and simply wore one of your Belts, as
directed, and my Ague became lighter each sue
eessivo time thereafter for some three or four
times, when it left me entirely, with a good appe
tite and clear skin; ami in future, if I should ever
have a Chill or Ague, I would want one of your Pads,
und no physic. Wishing everybody that may be
so unfortunate aH to have Chills and Fever may
he fortunate enough to get one of your Belts,
1 am, respectfully, etc.,
W. J. Wilson.

Drs. Love & Willson;
On the first day of December lust I was taken
with Chills uud Fever in ThomasviUe, Southwes
tern Ga„ aud was treated for the sumo by three
eminent physicians who were able to stop it only
lor a few days at a time. It made such inroads
on my constitution that my physician pronoun
ced me to be iu the first stages of consumption,
wh eu 1 accidentally met up with Drs. Love k Will
son’s Anti-malarial Belt, wliieh has entirely cured
me. I have had but one chill since, and that was
the first day after putting it on. lam now in as
good health as I ever was iu my lilo, AHd think
this Belt a God-send to the afflicted.
J. M. Mathkws.
Cannon House, Atlanta, Ga., June 4,1875.
Some nine years ago I contracted malaria in
Savannah, Ga., from which I have suffered, at
times, ever since, until I met up with Drs. Love*
Willson's Anti-malarial Belt some three months
ago. I have worn it continually, uud have had no
chill since, and find my general health, which
has been poor, much improved. I would recom
mend it to others suffering with malaria.
R. A. Wallace.
Macon, Ga., Juno 4,1875.
Friend Hoimison : 1 received your letter of the
26th ult., on yesterday, I have been off on a fish
ing excursion and just returned.
The people of this town don’t chill worth acont
yet. 1 have sold two of the pads, aud that I did
the very hour I first received them, one to one of
our conductors, and to Mr. Vanghn, a Clerk iu
the office. They both say that they tried Quinine
and other remedies, and that they failed till they
put on the pad; since, then they have had no more
Chills or Fever, and they recommend them to ev
erybody. * * * * * Alex. Mathkws,
The above pads were sent for us by Dr. Hodg
son, who is addressed as above.

Drs. Love* Willson, Atlanta, Ga;— Gentle
men—! have been a sufferer from chills and lever
for (19) nineteen years, aud have of the
popular remedies, but only had temporary relief
until about three months since, I was induced, by
your agent, Captain W. U. White, to wear one of
your ‘•Auti-Murial Belts.” I have not had a chill
since putting it ou. It has enabled me to look
after my farming interest morn closely, and ex
pose myself to rain und sunshine more than for
nineteen years. It bus been worth to me, in
feelings and absolute results, not less than five
hundred dollars.
1 cheerfully recommend it to all '‘shakers.”

Dns. Love k Willson Dear Sirs—l have town
having chills, caused from living in a malarious
district, for seven years. During that, time I
have taken ntincet of Quinine, witli which J have
usually checked them for u while, but they have
invariably returned us soon as I would leave off
the use of the medicine. Having token Arse

remedy I ever heard of. 1 procured, a mouth
since, one ot your “Anti-Malarial Bolts,” which I
have worn, and during this time I have had only
one chill, which was brought on by being exposed
to night air aud getting wet. It has done me
more good than all the internal remedies put to
gether which I have taken in the past seven years.
I urn very gratefully and respectfully yours,
