TALKIXG. "C
As T. T. belongs to tbe Talk &mily ho feels under solemn obligation to reeent some unjust and insulting reflections cast ttpon some members of this great and good family. He has seen somewhere tbe picture of a coffin, containing a dead body, and, bearing the inscription, "This man was talked to death." There may be some people who do occasionally utter a word, possibly a few words, more than absolute necessity demands. But as for any man ever having been talked into his coffin, it is a gross sad wicked exaggeration, a fiction founded upon the very dimest shadow of feet, T. T. resents it as an insult to the Talk family. Tongues were given for use, and they should be used. Somebody will yet be saying thai even Town Talk ought to be suppressed. People are so ungrateful! As an illustration take
CONCERT TALK.
At the very last conoert which T. T. attended, he was seated behind a young couple, consisting of a very spruce young man and his sweet heart. On his left was a married couple, that is the man had a wife—at home, and the woman a husband—somewhere. Both of these couples kept up an incessant flow of talk. Hie lovers talked as only lovers can, and the married pair evidently acted upon the principle that stolen waters are sweet, and they drank, or talked to the fall. And why should they not They came there to talk. They bought their tickets so as to get when they oonld talk, and they were bound by every consideration, to get the worth of their money. And T. T. thinks they lid get fait value. Bat the reproving glance*, the scowls, the really malignant frowns bestowed upon these twe happy pairs, were painfal to behold. T. T. actually overheard one old curmudgeon declare that he would like to break their heads. And this jaat beoaase these people talked and annoyed him in the nidst of a solo. He came to hear, and they came to talk, and they had just as good right to get what they cameras he had to get what he oame tor. Some stupids seem to think that a concert, or play, or lecture, is only for tbe gnttifie*tion of the earn. The*® entertainments are Intended chiefly as provision* for •or. a'. visiting, sad ttMm who go simply to tar itst take their chaaoe*, aid neuiH-r Wv-, nor the parties nponthe ntasre. have the least occasion to find i'nt.1 Willi tt*e t* ken.

his loud talk, inform a hundred people in five or ten minutes that he is the champion fool of the city. He oan in the same length of time impart the same important information to an entire room full. It does the fools good to talk loud, and valuable publle information is secured at the same time. T. T. would have labored years under the misapprehension that some men, whom he only meets occasionally, were sensible, but for their loud talk in public places. There are many others whom he would have sought out as profitable associates but for thftir talking so loud. So long as basy men need to be protected against fools, let no tongue wag against loud talk which reveals the fools.
BUNCOMBE.
There are men, and they assume to be very wise, who object to a public speech unless the speaker has something to say. This is all wrong. Buncombe is one of the greatest blessings bestowed upon human society. T. T. has seen many audiences which had assembled with high expectations, that would have been compelled to disperse without hearing a word, and sorely disappointed, but for buncombe. .But under the benign influence of mere talk, talking without saying any thing, they went home happy. T. T. has seen gentlemen of the legal profession prancing the stage like a turkey gobbler strutting before his harem, and bellowing out words, mere words, to the apparent delight of his audience, and the greater delight, the great and supreme satisfaction of himself. Such a speaker as that is a blessing for which any community ought to give thanks. How many speeches, how many sermons, would have been of unseemly brevity, curtailed close behind, or even before the ears, if the speakers were compelled to say something all the time they talked. Long live Buncombe. am, I,,,
LOXO TALK
So often condemned is a source of great good. Many a. speech would never have been cheered at all if the speaker had not talked so long that the audience cheered him for stopping. Many sermons would never have kindled a spark of gratitude had they not been so long that every hearer was heartily thankful for the end. Many a man, vulgarly called a bore, would never be able to contribute anything to the sum of hu man happiness, if he did not talk so long as to make people supremely happy to get rid of him.
OOSTSOLATORY TALK
Is another useful, thongh abused member of the Talk family. T. T. has known people in the deepest distress to be talked to in a consoling way till they were so mad that they forgot their grief. T. T. knew a fond mother who lost her darling babe, her only child, her pet, and yet she declared that the pain of separation was not so great as that given by the stream of cant poured into her ear as consolation. So her affliction was made to seem light by contrast. T. T. has seen people on the verge of Insanity while undenting the torture of being consoled. How could a man tl ink of his dead wife or child, while going through the exercises of the inquisition And T. T. never beard of any thing in the inquisition so well calculated to dispel all thoughts of other pain, as much of the consolation offered to the afflicted. It most do a great deal of good.
But this article must end without showing, as was intended, tbe value of that other greatly abased member of this same femily, T0W8 Talk.

The result of the reeent elections in Ohio and Indiana probably surprised everybody. If the Democrats were surprised at the magnificence of their victory the Republicans were much more surprised at overwhelmingoeas of their defeat. On one side it was the surprise of something Car better than even hoped for—on the other, the surprise of something fin- worse than was even feared. Both jperttas felt that tbe issue of the contest was donbtftil but neither expected defeat or victory by such great
It is a time for moralising. At ftrst there was bewilderment and amaKement, but already the smoke of the bottle has dewed away and tbe causes which produced the unlocked for result have been pvetty dearly aaeertalned. The campaign was made up of eompka Jssoea. There were the temperanee qnestkm, the Independent movement, the diasat* isfiftctioa with many aota of the national administration and, as Caesar weuld have expressed it had he bean living "in these piping time, of pew*," *n*ay who were "destmw of change of things*" «vp%di rcrtm noeantM. j|ad to this latter element nraeh more !mjoHance is to he ascribed, we think, than tea generally been done. There are always tfcoae whose sympathies go oat to the underdog in the fight. They are gratified to aeehimget on top now and then and are ready to help him do

I v. ?!t their K-i, For SMNUrty
twenty years the Democratic *party has been the under dog. Not partially, net at intervals, but continuously without even a momentary change. The grim mastiff who conquered the rebellion has stood over the cowed cur and choked him down almost without effort whenever he m&do an attempt to rise. For awhile all sympathy was with the powerful mastiff for he had shown himself to be a noble dog. But his nobility began to depart from him, by and bye. He became boastful, Vain-glorious and tyrannical. Ho proclaimed himself invincible and his adversary utterly impotent and put on an air of swagger and bragadocio. Such oonduct has but one inevitable result—to weaken the strong party and strengthen the weab one. Many of the mastiff's friends becatpe disgusted with him and were not unwilling to see the beaten dog have a chance. And, now, very suddenly and very unexpectedly, the mastiff is the under dog and the cur is on top. It remains to be seen how long he will stay there. In due time doubtless he will go under again.
There is one striking peculiarity about the recent elections and that is the amount of scratching that was done. Scratch was the word trom Ohio to Nebraska. "Owingto tho unusual amount, of scratching that was done it will take some time to count the tickets," came the word from every quarter. We rather like this feature of the business. When a man goes to scratching his ticket he generally means something. It shows that he has been thinking matters over. It is no trouble at all to vote "the straight ticket." All you have to- do 4s to get a printed slip of paper from one of the men standing by (of whom there are several usually) fold it up and hand it to the fht man whose duty it is to chuck it into the ballot-box. But when you vote a "scratched" ticket you have something more to do. In the first place you have to draw your pencil across certain names on the ticket, and you are not going to do that unless you have some reason for it, and you will not have any reason unless you have been thinking on the subject betimes. That done, you must then write other names in the place of those you have marked out. A scratched ticket looks as if the man who voted it was not disposed to be the mere tool cf caucuses and conventions but meant to have something to say himself in getting up his ticket.
There is something wonderfully selfactyusting in this system of political machinery of ours. There is no denying the feet that so far it has worked well. It seems to operate a good deal like the cages in a coal mine when one is up the other is down, and now it is one that is carrying the burden and now the other. One party is not left to govern the country too long. Protest as it may, when the time comes it is compelled to "step down and out," and let "a better man" try it. It is like a game of baseball: one nine can keep the bat just as long as it makes no misses but every miss counts one and by and bye the whole nine are out. I have often wondered how it is "the people," tbe multitude, come to form such generally correct opinions on every possible subject. It seems there is no such thing as deceiving them very long. Whether it be & singer, an actor, an orator or an author, inevitably he sinks if he is too high, or rises if he is too low, until he reaches his just plaoe in the popular estimation. One may get too much or too little praise for awhile but at length tbe true judgment is delivered. Even on subjects which the multitude are not capable of understanding and judging, their opinions will usually be found to be in the average correct. This feet is true of politicians. The people know whether things are going on about right or not. A Colfex is not mistaken for a Simmer nor a Grant for a Lincoln. Probably the general estimate of these men would be found to be very nearly just. Axid so when abstruse questions of finatm and political economy are discussed the people exhibit a surprising knack of finding out what is meant. We speak of "the people." After all perhaps it Is the few—the balance-spring of liberal, independent, thinking people, who bring about these result*, men who are not blind partisans whether party be right or wrong, but who have wlta and use them and act according to tbe dictates ot Judgment. It is a good thing that all the voters in the country are not Democrats and Republicans but that a few of them are Democrat# or Republicans according to circumstances. This class of people really control the destiny of tbe nation. By throwing their influence en one side or the other thej can usually cause either ride to win as they choose. This middle, liberal element always exists, to a greater or leas degrse, in every country hot ft hi especially strong in our own/ And It is gaining strength constant)v. It te composed fair the fiMWt part of people *f more than average intellect and coiture, who naturally beeome disgusted with the corrupt ami unscrupulous practices of both parties and can we the tricks of the demagogue. We heller® that this class ot men have had a large in tbe result *f the late elections.

UNHAPPY MARRIAGES. ^, There is a good deal of misunderstanding about unhappy marriages from the lack of intelligent comprehension of the kind of happiness that is naturally to be expected, "as a rule," in tho married state. Beforo marriage many inexperienced people indulge in extravagant visions of the indescribable and perpetual bliss that will be the result of wedlock. Their lives are to be sunshine their pathway is to be strewed with flowers in all seasons and all their days and nights are to be passed amid the romances of affection. It is delightful to enjoy such dreams, but it is also well to understand the necessary experienced of human nature in this poor old world of ours. When those who have indulged In roseate dreams find, in the course of the journey, that all their life is net always made up of them, even after matrimony. thev are apt at first to feel something like disappointment with tho conjugal state, ana to suppose that they have somehow been defrauded out of the happiness which they had anticipated. But it was their dreams that were at fhult and if they have clear heads they will very soon find this out. They will also find that marriage is calculated to bring them more solid enjoyments aad more real satisfaction than they had conceived ot If they are disappointed in th«w it is surely because tho parties to it lack that sound sense, those affectionate hearts, and that mutual desire for each other's weifare which are essential to genuine and beneficent marriage.
FEMALE TASTE.
A cultivated taste marks a woman of elegance and refinement as decidedly as a knowledge of classical literature aces a gentleman and thore is nothing in which female vulgarity is more clearly shown than in want of taste. This is an axiom that we think will not admit of dispute but it is a question how fer taste is natural, Mid how for it may bo acquired. A delicate taste must, to a certain extent, depend upon the organization of the individual and it is impossible for any rules to be laid dowa which will impart taste to persons entirely devoid of it. But this very seldom the case with women, as it is ono of the few points in which women naturally excel men. Men may be, and probably are, superior to women in all that requires profound thought and general knowledge but in the arrangement of a house, ami the introduction of ornamental furniture and articles of byouterie, there can be no doubt of the innate superiority of woman. Kveryono must save remarked tiro difference in the furnishings of a bacbolor's house and one where a lady presides the thousand little elegancies of the latter, though nothing in themselves, adding, like cyphers, prodigiously to the value of the solid articles ibey are appended to,
