DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ENOLIsiI AND AMERICAS ttl HIM—WOMEN IMITATINU (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. • -V • Thu most encouraging sign in the journalistic firmament is t he tenden cy of fit.

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.

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.

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.

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. Atlania, Ga., June 3, 1875 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. Abbeville C. H., 8. C., July 16. 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.” Respectfully, etc., J AMEH McCRARY. Atlanta, Ga., August 7tli. 1875, 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 nic and Htriollfiinc, and nearly every chill 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, WILLIAM CRENSHAW* Dentist.
