Not long since one of Green- young men, who is by-the- way, contemplating matrimony, in conversation mentioned a book on he was very desirous of procuring for the ex- able and excellent ad- vice it had been represented to him to contain. A gentleman, whose fame in his profession has gone beyond the borders of his adopted county, scaled, the Blue Ridge in its unchecked flight and spread all over the ripe scholar, a keen observer of human nature, a polished gentleman, a man who loves to alleviate human suffering and distress and misery, who has the heart to love and pity and yet finds room for the essence of chivalry from the knightly days of yore, one of nature's true noble- short, one to whom you can point and say this is a was standing by and remarked son. when you seek a wife take this advice. It may seem very simple ; but it is none the less effective, and worth more than all the books written. Find a woman who possesses these three things, good health, good sense and good per. If you find such, there is no doubt about your earthly This has put us to thinking over the matter, and we conclude that, In our day, such attributes are hard to rind linked together. And it is no slander on our fair young ladies to say this. If a woman possesses the first two qualities mentioned the third follows most naturally. There is nothing more difficult than to preserve, at all times, a calm, unruffled temper when the body is being tortured and racked by terrible pain and the intense agony. Good sense is forgotten, or does not weigh at all in such an in- stance. Now when we think of the first requisite this young man must seek come to the conclusion very quick- that it is a rare thing. Good health How many young ladies are there in the town of Greenville whose health, is perfect Of course in its limited sense and translated closely means perfect health. And now how many young ladies are there in Greenville, who never complain f any physical fort conversation we asked this question and the answer came And we cannot add to the number, though the death rate Greenville is lower than anyplace in North we have as many healthy young ladies, in the broad general acceptation of the term as any town in the State. S the first requisite will be hard to find. And the Well, we not say anything about that. A puling sentimentalist may say all are possessed of and there is a spirit of sick- dissipation in dress, in habits, in in sleeping, in studying, in dancing, as surely impairs the health of their daughters as frost kills the forest leaves m the autumn. Is it not from a good- of heart, in most cases, and not negligence We think but it is none the less a crying evil. Slavery to the plumed god- Fashion, does more than any one cause that comes to our mind just now. Let the mothers of the land dress their children as common would dictate and have done with what Fashion says and the health of their will be better proportion as they act. With the foundation for good health thus laid good sense and good temper follows as readily and surely as night follows day. The mother that has the strength of character and good sense to dress her daughter com- in defiance of fashion and social forms will surely instill in the minds of those daughters eve- principle that goes to make good sense. Then good temper is w a i n is already a willing and eager attendant at the shrine of as near perfection as can be attained on earth. Young man, you need not think you are searching for that which does not exist. Such young ladies are in existence ; but what we want to say is that these marry and die and there are fewer still to take their places. A Card from the Progress. In a recent issue of the Rep tor there appeared an editorial quoting with severe comment a paragraph from the Progress. To say that the whole tone, spirit and severity of the editorial surprised us would be a mild expression of its effects. It was and will re- main a puzzle. Our remark was, on its very face, a manifest jest, a very broad jest, and how the Re- could fail to recognize it as such passes our comprehension.

However, what we said was not intended for Mr. Jacobson, but for the Progress, as we never knew he was editing the Progress, nor would his name be mentioned here were it not for the fact of its being sign- ed to the card accusing the Re- of littleness and contempt. We will only add if the any more jesting to do it had better select some other point than the Reflector from which to radiate. nutting their annual reports to Secretary embracing the work of the past fiscal year and estimates of the necessary for the coming fiscal year.

Special to Reflector. Washington, D. C, Oct. 15th, Heretofore, your correspondent has written of tho manifesto of Civil Service Commissioner against the organization of the Federal employees into political as- and also of the commotion caused by the com- which was swiftly by a sentiment of stern defiance. This feeling has found further expression in the of a new political club, called National Democratic with an influential from every State or Terri- of the Union, which it is proposed to extend to each Con- District of the United States. The Association is in character, and to make its influence and use- felt by the dissemination of sound Democratic doctrine and in- formation among the masses of the party every where. So then, it seems the ukase of the Commissioner was a blessing in disguise, whatever may have been its true purpose, for it goes without saying that the National Democratic Association will be a powerful factor for good in the Presidential contest. There are three vacancies in the Fiftieth Congress, one of them being National importance, as it involves the political attitude the State of Island in the event of the failure of the people to choose a President in 1888. At the first election held nearly a year ago, there was no candidate a majority of all votes cast though Judge Bradley, the Dem- nominee, was in the lead. A second election will be held next month, and there is every of Democratic victory, as they have renominated Bradley, and a plurality will elect next time. Re- publican defeat would mean their inability to win the Presidency in case the choice should devolve up- on the House Representatives the Republicans only lacking one of having a majority -of the States. Among the measures that will be presented for the consideration of the next Congress are seven new pension bills, prepared by representatives of the Grand Ar- my of the Republic, and embody- relief for all veterans who act- saw service, or tor their gal representatives. I fear that President Cleveland will again be the country's only safeguard against a depleted Treasury.

Each has also been taught to make yeast bake biscuit, pudding, pie and cake of various kinds ; how to cook a roast, to broil a steak and make a fragrant cup of coffee ; how to stuff a turkey, make oyster soup, prepare stock for other soups, steam and math potatoes so that they will melt in the mouth, and, in short, to get up a first class meal, combining both substantial and fancy dishes, in good style. Theory and skill have gone band-in-band. Vast stores of learning have been accumulated in the arts of can- preserving and pickling fruit, and they have taken cal lessons in all details of household management, such as house furnishing, care of beds and bedding, washing ironing, care of the sick, and numerous other things.

Girls admitted to the Iowa Ag- College are taught all sorts of queer and absurd things. For instance, the authorities there have the funny notion that girls ought to know how to cook Ev- girl in the junior class has learned how to make bread ; and measuring her mixing and kneading and baking, and regulating her fire. Each has also been taught to make yeast and bake biscuit, pie and cake of various kinds ; how to cook a roast, to broil a steak and make a fragrant cup of coffee ; how to stuff a turkey, make oyster soup, prepare stock for other soups, steam mash potatoes so that they will melt in the month, and, in short, to get a first class meal, combining both substantial mid fancy dishes, in good style. Theory and skill have hand-in-hand. Vast stores of learning have been accumulated in the arts of can- preserving and pickling fruit, and they have taken cal lessons in all the details of household management, such as house furnishing, care of beds and bedding, washing and ironing, care of the sick, and numerous other things. It is not stated whether girls are bow to get up in the morning and build fires, but no doubt each a useful branch of information receives the attention its importance demands. Cares. W. D.

The year is fast fading. The leaves are turning and tailing; the mornings and evenings grow stead- chillier ; stove are being brushed up, and put up ; oyster are swinging in the breezes ; ice cream is done for ; light clothes have been whistled in ; the birds are settling their affairs to their Southern flight; little boys are putting on their shoes and forsaking the swimming grounds of Spring and in the country are on Argus.
