'Hinrsilay Morning, Oct. 2fi. 1871

KANSAS CITY, with a population of 35, 000, took in during one day of ber Expo ajtion §10,000 gate money.

LEADINO Democratic organs openly admit, that their party name has become too lions to be borne longer. What a

Confession!

THE "Press" boasts that Philadelphia lias one hundred and sixty millionarie3 while Boston has only about a dozen, and her richest man is wortli less than ^en

millions.

THE Chicago "Journal" gives, as the result of a careful measurement of the burnt district, four and a half miles along the lake shore, with an average width of more than a mile.

MB. GLADSTONE will introduce the Ballot Eill again at the nexteession of the English Parliament, and hopea, througl: late alliances between proletarian and nobility, to carry it through both Houses

TIIE London "Times" announces in its old authoritative style that "jealousy of England is extinct in the United Slates. Inasmuch as the march of events has ren derered this country the superioi Britania in all things pertaining to na tional greatness and influence, there exists no longer any reason for rivalry on our part.

THE Philadelphia "Inquirer" of last Monday contains a letter from its resi dent special correspondent at San Dornin go, which will excite attention among those who fancied that the government had abandoned the project of annexing that country. Our fleet is still in Samana Bay, and to its presence alone it is asserted President BAEZ is indebted for l»ia continued lease of power. But the most important part of this correspondent's communication is contained in his statements concerning the probabilities of a misunderstanding arising between the Governments ot England and the United States growing out of complications between the former country and San Domingo. He also states that President BAEZ proposes an invasion of Hayti, with the object of uniting that part of the island with his own. At this rale—if this writer tells the truth—the United Stales are liable to be in possession of material of provocation enough to go lo war with half the world by the time thej annex San Domingo. It is, therefore, a matter of congratulation that the question of annexation has yet to be determined by Congress.

Americans and American Fashions in London. Americans are at a premium everywhere abroad just now, and in London more than anywhere else. American soda-water, American tramways, hotels "on the American principle," American waiesand wares recommended to American purchasers, are advertised on all sides on the Fourth of July a "grand American fete" was held at Cremorne Gardens, with a special illumination, and the announcement that "all the Americans in London would be present in society, American girls are decidedly "the fashion." There is material in this for a very 9erious article to be addressed to my country folk, but this is not my present intention. Whatever there is to be said on that subject, their beauty and charms are securing them a triumph which they are not called upon to forego. Yet, like all triumphs, it is over enemies. The universal sentiment in Ldndon society regarding a stranger is the memorable one recorded by "Punch" during some agrarian or mining troubles in the Midland counties: "There's a stranger: 'eave 'arf a brick at him." People who lack the charity which begins at home, whose whole social existence is a struggle to maintain his or her own place against all comers, be they nephews, cousins, nieces, brothers, or sisters, can not abound in any larger charity. The order of the day is selfishness, not in its most refined, but in its coarsest forms the watchwords are, "Chacun pour soi," and "The take the hindmost."—LipputcoUs .Magazine. *&}?'••

A YOUNG LADY at Racine, Wis., swooned in church recently, and the doctors pronounced her defunct. She was about being buried alive, when she "rose to explain."

LOSSER CHAMAUOWER, a Polish Jew, died recently in Prussian Poland, aged 117 years. He has two brothers still hying, aged respectively 105 and 109 years.

"FLANNEL RECEPTIONS" are the thing mostly in vogue just now in Boston. Their rule of government is one hour's sewing for the poor and three hours' dancin°-

^TIAS TLAXJTB, IiTdlAlSf'A.

THE Indianapolis "News" thinks the generosity of ARTEMUS WARD, who indicated a willingness to "sacrifice all his wife's relations" in the war, has a parallel in the circular of a well known New York financial firm who states with a view to inspiring confidence in the enterprise which they are pushing, that "our senior has just invested $30,000 of his sister's funds in these bonds."

THE Chicago "Evening Post" makes a sensible and practical suggestion to the effect that the variovs religious denominations in the United States, cither by gift or Joan, aid in rebuilding the churches in that city. It is obvious enough says the "Post," that it will cost ten timei as much to send in provisions nnd clothing through the long winter to the thousands of homeless and desolate families now houseless and moneyless, who will remain in their present condition until employment and wages are fur nished them, as to advance the money wherewith this employment can be afforded.

SEVERAL of our exchanges are discussing the propriety of speed trials at agricultural fairs. There is nothing to be gained by such trials, a3 we cm see, and as it is a source of side betting, and an excuse for reckless venture of money as a species of gambling, it appears to us that the practice had better be abandoned —Euansville Courier.

And when it is abandoned, you will be able to count the average attendance at county fairs on your fingers and your toes. The "speed trials" draw the crowds whose admission pays the premiums and other expenses. Without racing, you can't have these fairs. The question is then, shall such exhibitions be abandon ed? Or shall they be continued with the necessary evil of "speed trials?"

Ma. SitTOK.«-Sinc6 the "Social and its bearings is a topic of great moment and discussion at this time, and. since there is just now a considefableagi* tatlon in the columns of the city press regarding the visiting of places of amusement by "improper women." I would like, if I may without intrusion, to give you a fraw thoughts that have been called out by the facts that have come under my notice while acting under the dictates of a practical religion and the requirements of a duty as a member of a Social Keform Society that makes a speciality of this subject its groundwork of investigation and if possible to reform. And without a wisfyof controversy with the EXPRESS, which far superceeds in general the liberality of the average press, I wish to add to the ideas put forth by the "Mail" by way of argument and suggestion.

Investigation reveal the prevalence to an alarming extent of this wide-spread moral distructive vice, and also demonstrates what some of your readers may know, and what others may be shocked at, that there is less to contend with in the eradicating of this evil among the class known as '"'public prostitutes than those who are not professionals bii^ though living in affluence and among society's "respectables" as equally guilty of the vice or crime, and sometimes under a cloak of piety and the assume of

Christianity.

Pros'itution, like every vocation, flourishes only in accordance with its demandi and many who contribute to its support, are the so called best amongour citizens, and in every public office, and although there are no men professionals of this class, there are a greater average, by ten per cent., of men patrons that demand, than there 'are professional who serve. And even then with the great numbers of professional or public prostitutes there is by estimate not less than five times the number of exclusives, who move about in "respectable" society, and who would scorn the recognition of the Magdalen'' upon the open street.

It is the old, old story with the most of these professionals, broken confidence, disgrace, abandoned by friends, homeless and moneyless, and without the requisite character recommend no employment, no honor, *o wages, and only the one way to buy bread, and to those the world says—oncc fallen, always on the town!"

If they are to be shunned and kept out of places of recreation and amusement for all classes upon the same terms, why not put a ban of restriction upon him through whose lust she is dependent for bread? Men do not require a stipulated sum to pay them for a vice which they prefer, nor to furnish the bread they would die without. Hence they can not "make prostitution their business" in thatsense, even though they cause it to be a merchandise by sustaining it, and increasing its numbers—but are they to be considered more virtuous than they from whom they buy? What if he were to be paid for the vices that are irrepressible with him now? Is not a man who steals, because some one else would if he did not, as guilty as a thief? Is the man who stealthily hies away from confiding wife and the trusting arms of little one.s to the lascivious embrace of a mistress or prostitute, better than the woman he visits? Yet he considers himself sufficiently good and proper to be a good woman's husband or brother and protector? And if a young man —though he may not be too chasle—for "such company and such surroundings" privately—yet is thought an allowable and proper solitary parlor companion for marriagable daughters and sisters for a whole evening—while in a mixed crowd his paramour is too obnoxious to tolerate perhaps it is from fear of a nod or look of recognition that makes these men so particular since women who are not acquainted with this class can hardly be supposed to discriminate between women who "behave themselves" here and elsewhere. These women at least live the lives they profess, while many who look down from the "respectable" summit with scorn upon them, arc no more chaste than they—knowing which, is it any wonder or marvel that they "take up the most conspicuous position, in llie best seats"? It is lime there was a change in public opinion" on these vital issues, when it is through the vigors of such a "public opinion" in this city that two unfortunates may be driven to suicide within a day of each other. Suck a public opinion is reponsible for life, and if "the pure women and girls of this city" and elsewhere, could know the power of kind words to win, and honorable employment and wages lo detract from this terrible traffic, they would not hesitate, if their aims in life are worthy to go among and employ, and to "mix in public or private" with those whom their highest good work would be to redeem. It much the fault of woman that so much prostitution exists, and it is only due her to expect that through her work a reformation shall come, and those who are "•pure" have no need to shrink from contact with the fallen, for bad as they may be, they have a kind of reverence for virtue, as a rule—and I will venture to say no pure-minded woman who would kindly enter, even the worst houses on a mission of good, but would be respectfully treated her words tearfully and gratefully received. They are not, as many suppose, depraved beyond a thought of good or the possibility of redemption. The "pure in heart" have a work to do in their reform, and to women who are true and brave and good, they look for aid. They cannot render it without contact and association, which does not mean contamination. Men can never redeem them, they must first redeem themselves and cease making their revolting demands. They haveyet to learn self redemption and they still put up the old Adam cry of nonresistance to temptation. "The woman did tempt me," and might add in modern parlance, and because she didn't stop me in the fall, "I did eat" every morsel of the apple willingly. I think the EXPRESS editorial estimate of the womanly women of to-day, underdrawn— there may be a few ladies who are too fastidious to look these subjects in the face, because men and public opinion demand of them delicacy, which, when not a false one, is trnly womanly and becoming, but

wbeo cne« titt/ learn the mpoBslbllities rssilng upon thetn, and to know that they can mix with this class of improper womah" with it great deal less danger than men, they will prefer accompanying their protectors when they go amongsdCh "surroundings" rather than that they shall go unattended liy them, even though tlicy come in close proximity in the obnoxious closeness of most conspicuous positions and be3t seats." We ought to feel that women that are good enough to associate with our gentlemen friends in their homes, are good enough to be recognized by them in operas or in church and if good enough there they may even sit in front of us if they bappen to first pay for that preferable scat, and when pure "women are as ready to insist on virtue in their male associates, as they are severe in their choice of women associates, will make the penalties of their indiscretion as equally censurable, then we can talk about, and exercise the choice and right of exclusion, and not before. Rcvilings, sneers and abuse will never reform any, but only add fuel to the flames that keep their scorchicg glare ablaze upon the world.

"THE 0KEEN 'CLOTH.?*-/ -J

Scene in a California Gambling Heli.

"A moment, if you please," quietly remarked an almost beardless desperado, covering his pile with a firm hand, and fixing dangerous eyes on the burly dealer of monte whom lie addresses "you can't stop there." "Well,8ir." "Well, excuse me, but I think you drew two cards." "I believe not. I'll take your pile, if you please the kerwajo lakes it." "Two cards!" ... "Your money!"

And in each case the words are accompanied by a quick but quiet movement which discloses a revolver. With the appearance of these two new'disputants— polished, curt of brief but sharp and downright speech—there is a quick but fussles stir among the spectators around tjie table. In a moment a clear space is formed, in thp midst of a still circle of flashing eyes, compressed lips and clenched hands. You may count twenty, deliberately, ere vou hear a breath, or see the slightest movement. "Well, sir?" "Well!" "Your money!" v.-s-i-:. "Your cards?"

Up steps a bystander—some cool, steady veteran expert in the game and versed in the law of difficulties— a man of awful iierve, whose tympnaum, accustomed to the crack, no pistol-shot alarms. "Gentlemen," says he, "try arbitration first."

Another quick change of inquiring and responsible glances between the disputants.

Not a word, but the eyes of each plainly say "Agreed." Both throw themselves back in their chairs and withdraw their hands from the table, with the air of men inviting examination and resolute to abide the result. The veteran calls up two brothers of the Green Cloth, competent to act as umpires and three minutes, fraught with mortal danger, are passed in deliberately counting the cards as they lie on the cloth, and naming them slowly—like the tolling of a bell, or the measured pronunciation of a death sentence, except that there has been no noise but the simultaneous clicking of two pistol locks. The dealer and his young vis-a-vis are seemingly unconcerned for the event. "You are wrong, my friend," says Veteran. "No card was drawn here. Mistakes will happen to the most careful gentlemen."

From that decision there is no appeal. His finger on the trigger after that would have cost the young fellow his life. So pistols go back to their resting places, hands are shaken across the table, drinks for the company at the expense of the "bucker"—as he who plays against the bank is called—and the game proceeds with abetter understanding.

W111 Nature in California. There are still some nooks in Calfornia sacred to Nature and her apostles. We just visited one of them—a narrow and weedy canon full of spicy woods a trout stream brawled lustily over the pebbles at the ford cattle browsed in the heat, mindful only of summer Hies birds and bees made the air busy in places berry bushes projected their ebony clusters and a cabin on the edge of all these was the abode of a solitary hunter. We talked with him. He had tasted of the adventurous till no meaner fare could satisfy him. Anon, and as we talked, twilight flowed in and filled up the valley the dusty sunshine climbed the steep mountain opposite the hither hill slopes clothed themselves in royal purple and down by the stream, where the bed of the valley broadened, a coyote sat alone, plaintively lifting his falsetto voice in a cry that seemed to penetrate to the remotest recesses of the mountains, and return again like a wail from another world and before the echo was entirely lost to our ear we turned and fled to the hotel.—Lippincolt's Magazine.

Beauty and Bathing Dresses. Alas, that the beautiful bather at the very height of the season should suggest lo the fastidious eye of the observer nothing more lovely than a sore seanymph in swathed cumbersome bandages Oh, that something a trifle less hideous might be devised to blur the faultless outline of the fair Eugenie while she sports in three feet of salt water! The sea is delicious, certainly: not less so the air, and there is something consoling in the thought that the whole community that has taken to water in a body equally and unexceptionably absurd in appearauce. But it is awkwardness personified, for all that! My Bulbul enjoys it. How she dips her red-flannel wings in the shining surf, and flits away toward chore for a long breath! How she sports among the slow-rolling crests of the sea, and fondly thinks they are breakers! How she laughs and shouts and sings in the general hubbub, and is in a perfectly happy and water-logged condition! And this is your nymph of society who charms us and betrays us!—Lippincott's Magazine

IT IS estimated that not less than sixty thousand dollars are annually expended for litigation in the courts of Bowling Green, Kentucky, and there are thirtyfive pacticing lawyers in the place.

THE corn crop is now generally harvested, and reports from all parts of the country concur in the statement that it is the best which has rewarded the labors of the farmer for many years past.

THE finishing touches to a monument to the memory of Warden Willard, of the Connecticut State Prison, were given at the very moment his murderer, Wilson, was hanged, but without design.
