COMMANDMKNTS rOM lltBHANPN. I. I am thy wile; thou .halt have no olber but me, whom thou hai promised to love, cherish and protect, as long as thy Maker givelh then power; for have I not glvcu up all my old sweethearts for thee, made thy people my people, aud laved thee from the torror ol buttouluss sblrts and boarding-house "hash?" II. Thou shall never, uover love any other lauy. thou ma) est inane tiiysoii agree able to them II thrown lu their society yea, may even expreaa thy admiration fur. their good qualities; but thy heart must be mine, lor I, my wite, am a joaioui wifo, visiting tbe sins ot my nuibauu up on bis head until the last chair and broom luuidlo be demolished. III. Thou shalt not make fun of thy wife's feelings, but bold the in sacred aa thy own, Aeither ehalt thou preacb her shortcomings unto Iter neignnori, but, on the contrary, toll her klnuly of them private, ao aba will correct I hem, bccauie It ii my wianauu lor iter owu weuare, IV, Thou shalt not destroy the life of thy wife's pet Doodle, or coutcrunlete the do- mlae of her favorito cal, if those animals ire ber style: nor deny her any candy new music, bright ribbons, new boots etc-, unless her luve for those outwelghi that for iter nuioana s mercantile nonor, in which cue, lay kludly, but firmly, 'Not for Joe," and the will reipect tbee more lor n. v. Thou shalt uot meddle with thy wife's household aflalri, for that is "woinau's kingdom." bhouldst thou Iransgreii on her domain, she will probably term thee "Betty," aud inform thee that If thou art going to run mat pari oi ine citaunsn-meit,ihe, to make connections, will hava to don hat aud cloak and go and attend to thy aaairs. VI. Thou shall not encourage thcae woman'! right! crlt ten and other masculine wo men, for tholr right! are to let all Ihiugi pertaining to pantaloon! alone, except the owner tnereor. mis wouui ue nrettv countrv to live In.

Jo. Chronicle. A WORD FOR THE WOMEN. We do hesitate to ay that the average woman, educated iu Ihe bolter class of schools in thla country, is a better schol ar, and a more capable and accomplished peraou thau Ihe average college graduato of the other sex. What wo waut is cheaper schools of an equal excellence. The farmer's boy goo to college, find cheap tuition, win a scholarship, perhaps, boards In commons, earni money during vacation and get! through, while hi lister itayi at home because the only placei where ihe can get an equal education are expensive beyond her moans. There is no college that needs to be so richly en dowed aa a woman's college. Women an not men, quarrel with the fact aa we may, aud thev cannot get along ao cheaply and witb self-helpfulness as men while going through the processes ot thoir ed-ucatii n. If we are to have women's col-legos we mint have well-paid professor!, philosophical apparatui, cabinets, collections, art galleries, laboratories, aud they muit bo provided tor by private munificence. Provision should be made for tbe poor so that high odncation shall come wilhln the reach of all. Then is not a woman's college or an advanced public Institution for the education of women that Is uot to-day lu need of a large endowment for the purpose of bringing its advantages within the reach of those whose means are small. Now we oommond this matter particularly to rich women. Then are mauy scattered up aud down the country wiio an wondering what they shall do with their money when, and even before, they die. To all these we beg the privilege of commending this gnat object. Let the boys alone. They have been pretty well takeu care of already, and tbe men will take care of them. It la for yon, as women wishing well to your sex and anx ious tor ill elevation in all possible ways, to endow thoio liistitutioui that are springing up about tbe country in its interest, so that the poor shall have an equal chance tritn the rich. You can greatly help to give the youug women of all classes as good a chance as their brother! enjoy, sua you can hardly claim a great deal of womauly fcellug If you do uot do It. Brick Pomroy says he will oppose Gov ernor Tilden for the Pnsldeney if it take all the hair off bis bead. Then Is nothing bravo in Ihe declaration,- however, for Brick, like all the oilier old Huuken is bald-headed. I A Colored Man's Reasons for Voting With the Democrats. Jerc Haralson, the colored member nf Congress Irotn Alabama, who voled for Iho Amnesty bill and was applauded bv the Democrat, has written a letter to one of his frienils in linfenaa of hia unlit. leal courao.

We, ai a race, cauuot afl'ord iu any manner lu aid in keeping up itrifo for the benefit of otttce-hunters. Allow me to ask your attention to a low questions whlrh I hope you will put lo Coon, Kapler, Curtis and others: I. la it better tor ui colored men lo lor-get aud forgive, aud havo the good will of Ihe world, or ia it better for u to atir up the crOeltiea of the past, and ourselves suffer in order that Coou ft Co., may profit thereby? Do 1 represent the true principles of Itepuhlicsniiiii aud our party when I strive to put Ihe seal of peace aud good will upon animosity ? Is ft not better for us in general, especially In the South, that there be good feeling between both while and black '( Is it uot better that the leading colored men take this thing lu baud aud build up tho race, build up our party, upon Ihe true principles of right and Justice, of ltapublicaiilsm, and drive those who an striving to ride Into otflco on prejudice into the blackest political hell? Is it not the truth that lucb men as Kapler, Coon, and others are the sole cauae of our party being defeated iu Alabama to-day ? Don't you think that there are Ihouaands of wnlto nion in Al abama who would gladly join the ranks of Ihe Republican party and holp build up the party upon tbe strong principles ot right, Juilice, good tor all, and ovil for noiier wo must drive out ino uen-houuds, and go iu for peace betweon the two races South. Truly yours, Jkkk 11AKAI.80X, KIT CARSON'S GRAVE. Some thluga are strange and some things are shameful, iu our bonsttul American enterprise, l'oe, the poet, has a monument betore Iho "lather ot His Country." Soveral sergeants and colonels ol the late war luivo now marble monuments aud costly statues to their memories, while such noble, national names as President General Zach Taylor and General Kit Carson, (the true "Path-fluder" of Ihc iiucky Mountains and of California,) are allowed tn rest and rot In Ihe "low. low ground," (wild prnirio ground at that.) without as much it a head-hoard lo uinrK their gravoa iroiu tho com nion mound of the prairie-dogs.

Thus has hii uravo boen allowed to taud, near the public road-side, unprotected and unlettered, ever since his sudden death there, in 1808 to the shame of not only Southern Colorado, but of all Colorado and New Mexico alao, includ- ng the legislatures ol two territories who are alike igiioiiiinlously at lault for it.

Some twenty years ago, a gentleman was suddenly den.ived of speech, and. for some limn afterward, was In failing health, taking real ouiy in a sitting posture in a chair, aud at times very much troubled iu his respiration, ilo confined lllinseu to . com ri'uiu, vu in wiiitur, and used ices freely about his head and chest. During these twenty years ho has onlv been able to make himself un derstood by signs. For a few yoari past his general health nas improved, ana ne has been able to go out ot doors, auu have the can of a Sower garden. A short lime ago he suddenly foil the removal of a restriction, and realised that the iin- fiedlment to till ipeech had been partial-y overcome, to much ao that be could apeak. He went out of hia room and grasped hia brother by the hand, and greeted him in an audible voice, much lo ii nirpriie and joy. The event eauied much rejoicing among bia friends, mingled posiibly with the tear that the change might not be permanent, but we learn that Yiii condition hai rathor improved for a week, and that he la now able to converse without alphabet or sign, though hit enunciation ii uot fully reitored. During the early itages of tbii malady physicians were consulted, but no one ventured a positive opinion aa to what the difficulty was. .1 COLONEL VEST. I . A : A Strange Story Concerning Hia .

Kvcrv kind of paper styled money carries ou its lace an order or promise to pay money; and without that order or promise it would be a worthloss pieco of paper, aud nothing more. An order or promlso to givo a thing is not thu thing itsell; tho thing is absent. This settles the matter absolutely; paper is uot inoucy. It is idle lo reply that tho distinction Is utiiuiparlaut that the bank-note does the same work as money, and that practically there Is no harm in calling it money. I answer that the harm is Immense for the understanding of currency. The vital fact i obscured that tho man who takes a golden coiu fur his gooda receives an actual piece of properly, a metal as valuable as tho Ihllig ho sella. He acquire not a particle of subatanco wilh a check or a baiik-noto. If tho check is dishonored or tho bank breaks, he lluda nothing iu hia hand against the wealth that ho gave away. II check and banknotes are true money, then ao are spoken words, for Ihey can purchase property, and nind the buyer nt law just us strongly as a cheek. To tell a bookseller to put live pounds' worth of books lo hi account, commits Die buyer to payment a completely as a cheek. Coin is tho subatanco, the leulil, couvenaiileil lubegiv- 011 for goods bought: eon,eiiieutly coin alone Is payment. The coin at hist may never he touched, because it may bo put down lu an account against which si t oil's appear on tho debtor anil creditor sides; coin then is uot a-kcil tor because lis equivalent in property bus been received. Bveryiiiing ciH' spuKen woiiis, simp accounts, bank-notes, checks, wnriauts, are nothing but title-deeds, evidence good al law to compel the stipulated payments lu coin, if not voluntarily given. Without a court of law iu the background, they are only acknowledgements resting on honor, anil may at any moment prove to bo empty writing. Coin pays no form of paper docs till what is written upon it is tullilled. . A Congressman Who Was Once Sold on the Block. Says the Columbus (Ga.) Kmiuirer: The Hon. Jure Haralson, who represents Ihe Mobilo District, and who lately voled for universal amnesty, was a slave to 1H05, when he was emancipated willi the rest, lie was a slave ol Mr. John T. Walker, of Columbus, anil on Iho death of the latter was sold on tho block, in this city, to Mr. J. W. Thompson. After his death ho was purchased by Joliu Haralson, Esq., of Seluia, Ala., to whom ho belonged ul tbe nine ut emancipation. Ho was raised iu Muscogee county as a common Held hand. He was born here in 1845. I'pon inquiry we find a num ber who know lii in when a slave. Ho deserves credit for the information ho lias acquired, but he was made what he Is, not by any superior motivo power above any white man, but the prejudices of ignorant negroes controlled by I'nlted States bayonets. Ho lives iu a stroug negro district, inhabited by Iho most uu-lettered of the class, lu 1870 lie waa elected to the House of Representatives of Alabama, and iu 1872 to the State Senate, and iu 187: lo Con-gross from the Mobile district, lie is superior to hia own race, hut Inferior, far, lo the white man he defeated, and his seat is now contested, ills success is attributable altogether to race prejudice.

Our architects builders and capitalists should appreciate better thau they generally do t lie demand which is growing greater every day for good, honest houses, convenicnlly but not costly, pretty bin uot tlashy. Persons Willi largo means will nf courso build the villa or the mansion, and will adorn it as much as they please, but there are hundreds ol people who waut thu mansion without ill adorniiioiila, and certainly without undergoing the expenseul building it or keoping it when it is built. They want the mansion fur what il is supposed to represent namely, convenience, comfort, nud a lair measure of beam y. Why should they not havo it ? Oltcii architects simply reduce the sir.e of I lie large house when Ihey prepare plans lor one ol Ihe hundred who waut a good house, and the result is tho growth ol thu uro- tesque Imitatlous ol villas which spring up all. around us. Wheu there is a vigorous determination to break aw ay from this imitation ol Iho atereolypu villa, and lo Incorporate its good points into something solid, handsome, real, but not expensive, thu average Aiuoricau will have a house that will suit bim, and he will own it, aud be no longer a 'tenant, com' plaining ot itis high rents and niovlugex lienses. Hera is a field oliell lo eiloltal. ists who will be content wilh moderate but euro dividends, and for architects who have originality and inventive skill, and are not too ambitious to engage lu work of this kind. Wo shall be much surprised if there is not soon a greater interest among them in Ihe now growing demand for neat, comfortable homes lor I lie people. SCANDAL.

A youug clergyman, of brillaul talents and spotless roputaliou, and who firoached iu a village lhat shall bo name-oss, was on intimate termi with ouo of parishnuera, a merchant, and nalnrally called frequently at bis store. One day he bought forty-six cents' worth of goods leaned over the counter, dropped a two dollar bill iulo the money-drawer aud took out the change. Sumo customers saw him, cueaaed he was stealing, and circulated Ihe story iu the village. And from this aieedly grew Iho tale lhat the youug pastor waa a thief, aud had raided on nearly every money-drawer in town. Hut tho church and the pastor went straightway lo work and traced the scandal back lo lis slartiug-pniiit; Ihe storekeeper and his two clerks explained the circumstances, a vote of conlldenre was unaulniously passed, and Ihe little village waa quiet once more. It Is unfortunate that all scandalous storie oanuet bs at easily expiaiued away. A LOVB BTORY.
