BACK BONE.

In his oyster state, if he ever lived in £liat state, man was a mere flabby mass with the stiffening all on the outside. When he had come up next door to humanity, and the outside shell had deroloped into inside bones, as a monkey he still could not stand upright. With the development of a good stiff back bone and consequent upright carriage, man came into existence. This is the Characteristic, or at least one of the most Important characteristics of humanity. But physical back bone develops earlier than moral back bone. Development in that direction is still going on. There Are oomparati vely few who,can in reality stand alone or walk upright all the time. They straighten up now and then, Home often and some very seldom, but noon they lop down again, monkey like, 011 all fours, and an awkward figure they make of it. Good, stiff, hoalthy back bone is the great need of mankind. It Is tho only safoty. There are many times in this world, in which things get fearfully mixed, that, to be a man at all, one must stand alsne. Sometimes he Oan got a fow props, one or two to stand with him, and it is hard enough to staud up straight then, but many times, if bo would be a real man, he must stand And walk orect while others crawl, or walk awkwardly, leaning toward the Oarth and getting down part of the time on hands as well as feet. "Ho is no man,"and "He will never makoaman," aro expressions after heord, and they mean that there is not back bone enough to muke independent. Wo have some young men in Terre Haute" who are going to the dogs," to the very "domnitions bow wows," because thoy cannot stand alone. The other fellows Crawl, or trot like a dog or an ass, through nil sorts of mud and filth, and down go these to keep tho othors company. It is not hard to find those among us who oarly gavo promise of real manhood and are to-day "no men." They Oould not stand alone, and HO they Oould'nt stand at all.

IK a man is to be of any use in this world ho must have baokbone. There am plenty of people to do as everybody ©lso does. What is needed is people to (Jo as nobody else does when' everybody 1M going wrong. Of course one who attempts this always gets more kicks and eulft than thanks, especially at the first, but In tho long run the thanks como. In fact the world's leadors have always boon kicked and euflfod at the start, and Often us long as they lived here. Wear© talking iu these days about Sumner and Garrison, and (ilddings and such like, JIM if they were saints. When they livod and did tho work for which we almost worship them, wo talked about them as tf they were devils instead of sainta. In fact the devils of one generation often become tho^aiuts of the next, and it is tho next generation that is right about the matter, A leader must go ahead a loader must put his feet in the new places and make a path for those that are to follow. It is easy enough, and useless enough, to gt with the multitude. What tho world needs is men to show the multitude* bettor way than that in which they are going. Anyl»ody can make, or

a weather-oock, but what is

wanted is a contrivance to control the winds and put them to some use. Anybody can do as other people do. What is wanted is men to do as other people do not do. ________________

IUCKBONK in the secret also of real grandeur of character. A wipay-wopsy man, limp and slippery as an eel, who prays "Good Lord" or "Good Devil" as his company uhaucea to be, is despised, and ought to be. A man who stands up even for what is wrong, bemuse he lhlaks It Is right, is admired. He is no 4o©ward," he is no "skulk," he la no truckler," no "tool." Thee$ are the 4*rma in which we express par contempt •lor the lack of backbone, and the reverse of these are the terms in which we ex* (trm onr admiration. We cannot help admiring trueindependenceof character. It is grand. It compels admiration.

I* PGUTtOH there la need of independence—not (rig beaded obstinacy, not Mlf-wlU or self-conceit, but inclination and ability to stand by the right. Pratdent llayt*, upon the whole, has given «ta about one of the best Illustrations of real good political back bone. He has quietly, calmly, and persistently «tw* to what he thought best.

coming so fashionable there that sometimes there seems to be a feeling that one must think and preach as others do not in order to be independent. Old opinions and old practices are given up, not because better ones have been found, but simply because they are old. True independence stands ty truth, old as well as new, and new as well as old. And both kinds often require an unusual development of backbone.

THE LATEST HUMBUO. One of the most remarkable swindles of modern times has lately been wit'nessed in Boston, or at least only recently been found out to be a swindl^.

Some three years ago a bank was started in that city by a Mrs. Howe, and was called the Ladies' Deposit Company. It was carried on exclusively by women, and exclusively for the benefit of "unmarried working women." It received deposits from that class of persons in sums of not less than f1,000, paying 8 per cent, interest per month on deposits, payable quarterly in advance. That is to say, $100 deposited in the bank would draw |06 in interest in a single year.

The manager of this money-coining establishment claimed to belong to a wealthy Southern family and to be backed by many charitable gentlemen who supplied her with the requisite re sources for keeping the establishment afloat. Mrs. Howe must be a woman as fertile in financial expedients as ourown Nancy Clem, for it is said that in the year 1878 the bank paid out in interest $85,000 more than it received in deposits and yet the institution went on and last spring Mrs. Howe purchased the build ing occupied by it for $50,000. Probably tho wonderful institution would be go ing on yet, had not the Boston newspapers began denouncing it as a fraud and getting up a "run" on it. But even then the daily deposits exceeded the sums checked out, for one of the salu tary rules of the "bank" was that anyone drawing out her capital could never make another deposit, and all seemed anxious to retain their interest in an es tablishment which had paid them in interest more than their original deposits.

However, the colossal bubble burst at last, and closed its doors with nearly a million dollars of liabilities, made up no doubt of the deposits the bank owed the many hard-working women who had so credulously intrusted thoir little all to its keeping. The capacity of humanity for being humbugged is only measured by the ingenuity 0/ the swindlers who make humbugging their profession.

CINCINNATI has a case of "wounded honor" which throws southern chivalry entirely into the shade. A school-boy, fourteen years of age, played truant, confessed to his teacher, was reprimanded and very slightly punished. In a few days ho played truant again and confessed as before, His teacher reprimanded him severely and took him before the principal, who, so the boy says, talked very harshly to him, applying such epithets as "sneak" to him and finally telling him to pack his booksand thereafter attend another school which he designrted. The boy, who, it appears, is peculiarly sensitive and heroic thought he he was not treated fairly, and as he went out from the principal drew pistol from his pocket aud discharged its contents into his breast, musing a very dangerous and possibly fatal wound. He stated that it was his intention to kill himself, but on retloctlon said he was sorry ho had done it and would henceforth have no more to do with pistols. It comes out, through this affair, that other boys in the school carry pistols as a regular part of their outfit. How much has the trashy and vicious literature which is prepared for beys iuid girls and spread broadcast over the country, to do with such a lamentable state of things? Ix»t parents and teachers look to it.

AMKRICANS are getting a bad reputation abroad for making lavish expenditures. It is estimated that American tourists in Europe during tho past season have spent the enormous sum of $180,000,000. This includes, of course, not not simply their traveling expenses, (though these are very large, some of our grandees taking private trains for themselves and families,) but also many costly purchases, such as works of art, etc. Vanderhilt peid $40,000 for a siugle picture and others have been, according to their means, proportionately lavish. So great has the reputation of this country for wealth become abroad that it is said no actor, singer, or other artist will make an engagement to come here except for a price double or quadruple that which they could realise in Europe. They have an impression that "in America" ail are wealthy or can beeofne so if they chooee to. It is questionable whether this kind of reputation is of any advantage to us. ««««_

A OOXFKHK^CK of leading lawyers from various parts of the State, called by the Republican state committee to consider the action of the Supreme Court on the Constitutional amendments, as affecUng the late election, unanimously decided that the election was legally held and fcs valid and blading, no) matter what subsequent action the Supreme court may 'tttere* the amendments. They hold that the dwiaion of the Court was the law at the time and that what was done under it was legal. If it he true, as asserted, that what to common sense is l*w,£he OMe must stand as the conference has pat it. lor thai la certainly the common sense of the matter.

HERE is a point in law which is of interest to many young men who are coming of age the day before, the day of, and the day after election. The authority is the Law Journal: "A young man who does not reach his twenty-first birthday until the 3d of November, the day following the Pall election, is nevertheless entitled to vote. The common law principle, is laid down in Kent, 2d vol., page 254, holds that a man is twenty-one years o* age at the beginning of the day previous to the twenty-first anniversary of his birth."

THE great storm of Saturday and Sanday wrought dreadful havoc with the shipping on lake Michigan. The eastern coast of the lake was lined with wrecks and much property and many lives were lost. The captain of the Fountain City says the wind shifted in an instant from east to southwest and was so terrible that it seemed to tear the water up from the very bottom of the lake and throw it in sheets through the air.

Now that the Republicans have the legislature, the question is being agitated of who shall have the honor of a seat in the Uuited States Senate. Harrison, Orth, Cumback, Tyner, Butler, New, Gresliam, Judge Fraser and others are mentioned and the indications are that there will be a vigorous contest for the place.

WHAT a pity we can't keep gunpowder out of our campaigns. On Thursday, George Messer, while firing a salute on the arrival of Gov. Porter, at Madison, had both his arms blown off and his eyes blown out by a premature discharge of the cannon. It is shocking to make a battle field of a political ovation.

Tirts campaign in New York is being pushed with the greatest vigor by both parties. Gen. Grant is in active demand to preside at mass-meetings for the Republicans, and has agreed to preside on a number of occasions when Senator C'onkliug will speak.

THE STOOP OF THE BELLES.

A NEW AND WONDERFUL IDIOCY IN CURRENT FASHIONS.

New York Correspondence

It is fashionable now to stoop. This is not a metaphor, meaning that women are a little more than ever stooping to frivolity, but the literal truth. The freak of Metropolitan belles is nothing less than to curve their spines and droop their shoulders until they look like hopeless consumptives. A girl with a naturally flat breast is considered very lucky, and she no longer supplies an -artificial roundness, but is proua of her lack of womanly development. There Is no use of reminding her that her defi ciency is not charming to masculine eyes. She will follow the fashion, no matter how foolish it is. The idea that a hollow chest is indicative of maidenhood. Women who are by nature more amply endowed flatten themselves as much as possible with uncommonly high, narrow corsets, and hold their shoulders as far forward as possible, thus rendering null and void one of the best of their oeauties. Ah. well, what fools my sex sometimes make of themselves! "Some of my former buxom friends have degenerated into humpbacks in a single week. Their dresses have been altered to suit their changed shapes, though I imagine they would fit tne new figures if they were turned hind side before. The simpletons remind me of the pictures in the old reading books illustrating the good and bad postures at a desk—a boy with a protruding breast and erect head, which is the beile as she was, arid another boy humped over his book, which is as she is. It is to bo hoped that this idiocy will be of short duration, and, at least, be killed by Western common sense before it reaches Cincinnati. The prevailing style of fichus enhances the ugliness of stoop, and so does the shortness of skirts. Poor, chicken-breasted creatures no longer seek to hide their misfortune and plump ones have ceased to be grateful for what an evenly bounteous Providence has done for them. This Ui all wrong. ___________ ».*

TEH LATEST CRA ZE.

The very latest craze among fashionable women East, married and unmarried alike, is to make their bedrooms beautiful. The lately acquired taste for decoration has taken that turn just now, to the utter neglect of parlors and other apartments. Pillowshams and bedspreads are laboriously and expensively covered with needlework and lace dressing cases are furnished with .elaborate mats and ingenious receptacles for toilet articles bottles and boxes of the finest material and workmanship hold her ladyship's cologne, perfumery and powdei more or less excellent pictures hang on the walls, or the walls are wholly covered with lace. In short, the rage for sleeping in beautiful rooms lias possessed every woman. Even her toilet crockery must now be of no ordinary ware. She washes her hands in a ceramic bowl, colors her lips and eyebrows out of a cracklod Japanese saucer, and uses a copy of a Pompeiian hand glass to see her back hair. The ideal bed of the day lias a canopy over it, and this is made as fine and beautiful as the money and taste of the woman will permit. The frameworks are made of metal—commonly burnished brass or nickel. Chi. 1 v. and cretonne are ordinarily used for the curtains but satin, velv\ and the better lacps enter into the 00 "nation. Unmarried women affect .ite and the most delicate colors for awe canopies, and pnt white doves atop tut ^mblenw of purity—«o that the mido'"^ «nar»»vler may comprehend the at a glance.

Some of the bedrooms of the period are really marvels of exquisite taste—too sweet and dainty by farto deserve therud*xx*upancyof busbands. However, the best of these apartments belong to maidens, who show them with coyness and pride to their nude friends, while the dazed fellows stand palpitating on the threshhold, gaxingin at the vMon of innoeent somno-

A gentleman should return a bow made him on the street, even if the one making the same is not recognized. The person may possibly be a forgotten acquaintance but even if a mistake has been made, there will be less embarrass-ment-if the bow is returned.

A gentleman should not bow from a window to aladv on thestreet, though he may bow slightly from the street If rooognized by a lady in a window. Such recognition should, however, generally be avoided, as gossip is likely to attach undue Importance to it when seen by others/*

A warm cordiality of managf, ftftd A general recognition of acquaintances, without undue familiarity, -is the means of diffusing much happiness, as well as genial and friendly feeling. In thinly settled localities, the habit of bowing to every one you moct is an excellent one, evincing as it does kindness of feeling toward all.

When meeting a lady whoisastranger, in a hallway, upon a staircase, or in close proximitv elsewhere, courtesy demands a bow froin the gentieman. In passing up a stairway, the lady will pause at the foot and allow the gentleman to go first and at the head of the stair way he should bow, pause, and allow her to procene him In the descent.

THE SCIENCE OF KISSING. Science in the few years, says the New Orleans Times, has gained a terrible foothold in this world. It has rattled the dry bones of old fogyism, made pi out of worn-out theories, and upset ideas which have been e4tablished for centuries. The latest and most astonishing fact that has been developed Is that there is a scientific mode of kissing. The day when a young man could grab a girl around the neck and gobble a Kiss in a rough but comfortable manner, is ist. Tne time when he oould circle waist with one arm, get his shirtvom full of hair-oil, and piroquette his j,.i over every square inch of her countenance, is no more. Science has claimed against it, and man shui but remains silent. The old style kissing, which sounds like some one tearing a clap-board off a smoke house la n6w considered bad taste, and consequently is rapidly going out of fashion, although the majority of girls admit timt adeiice has cruelly destroyed all the comfort of a long, lingering, heartthrilling kiss, and causes them to exno little regret at the change.

HOW AND WHEN TO BOW.

Acquaintances are usually entitled to a bow. It is a poor policy to refuse recognition because of a trifling difference between parties.

The young lady should show a similar deference to an elderly lady, or to one iu superior position, that a gentledoes to a lady.

A gentleman who may be smoking when ne meets a lady, should In bowing remove the cigar from his mouth and from her presence.

When bowing to ladies, it Is etiquette for the gentleman to raise his hat from his head, and slightlv incline his body. Tho bow should not be a mere nod.

A bow or graceful inclination should be made by ladies when recognizing their acquaintances of the opposite sex. It is the privilege of the lady to bow first.

A gentleman on horseback should grasp whip and reins in his left hand, and raise nis hat with his right, when saluting a lady. The lady salutes by bowing slightly.

To a casual acquaintance you may bow without speaking: but to those with whom you are well acquainted, greater cordiality is duo. A bow should always be returned even to an enemy It is courtesy to return the recognition.

When a gentleman accompanied by a friend, meets a lady on the street, it is courtesy, in the salutation, for the gentleman's friend to bow slightly to the lady also, as a compliment to his companion, even though unacquainted with the lady.

On meeting a party, some of whom you are intimately acquainted with, and the others but little, tho salutation should be made as nearly equal as possible. A slight recognition of some, and a great demonstration of pleasure toward others, is a violation of etiquette.

IT IS not generally known that cut straw makes a most excellent stuffing for beds used by children and infants. Make a case of soft tick, obtain somo now, well-dried straw, have it cut in a chaff-cutter, and fill the case moderately full. It makes an astonishingly comwarm, and is much fortable bed, is very warm, a more healthy for infants than a feathor bed. The idea is really a good one, and the straw beds are well worth tho attention of mothers.
