A HEARTY ANSWER. | THE BALLET THAT DEMORALIZE . The prevailing disposition to object to tie ballet is more than half deserved. The court doesn't wish to hurt anybody's feelings; but it has been a bountiful year, and the slightest | suggestion of thinness on the part of the bal let is not only reprehensible but inexcusabie. Then there are exhibitions of eccentric curve which are really not to be tolerate dl | again there are knees and elbows that exhibit protuberances suggestive of hard knocks and the un gcarbuncle. The western clergy jare right. There are evils and they must be reformed. Give usa ballet that is young, beau. tiful, supple, graceful and sufficiently devel- oped in bloom and training, and all may yet GET YOUR MAIDEN HERE, A poem in the Chicago Inter-Ocean makes an Indian girl of the Chippewa tribe remark :- Come, dwell In the wildwood where love Is supreme In the beart and the sou!—not a myth, not a dream ; Where maidens are pure and affections are free, Not purchased like hearts in the towns by the sea, Come, woo me where nature has hallowed each scene, By the waters 20 bright, 1a the forest so green. A young man has asked the maiden to love him and come to his arms, and this is part of her reply. The maiden is peculiarly one of the untutored kind. While it may be true that the Indian article of affection is free to a consid- erable extent, it isequally true that the aged buck who fathers the maiden will part with heronly on the presentation to him of a certain number of horses and a few plugs of tobacco. | beats that without half trying.

A recent Chicago duel with short swords will | probably result in one death, and we suppose the lady at the bottom of it will marry the survivor, The satisfaction reached by the gen- tleman of the funeral is not large; but how sweet it is to vindicate one’s honor in that way, | and how melancholy that onecan’t take it with | him for exhibition over there. A CHANGE IS NEEDED. | There is room for everybody in this big world. Friction comes from the fact thattoo many want | the front room. | This is said by the New Orleans Picayune. But it isn’t a discovery. The court has fre- | quently made the same remark himself. The monopolizing tendencies of the occupants of the front room have sickened the court many times, and some day he hopes to clear them out of it and take up his residence there him- self.
