TRUE RULES OF ETIQUETTE, They Are Founded on Good Sense and Should Not Be Dicregarded By the Independent Amers fonn Maiden. Girls’ Chaperons. The first, bost, and most-to-be-desired ehaperon for any young girl musy assuredly be the mother, sho who has brooded over her fledgling when a baby with tender de- votion. who has watched her sweet bud of promise mature, who has from year to year ussisted the development of the being con- fided to bor care, As the skilfa! gardener knows well in ad- vance the effect bo secks to produce upon his flowers by - assiduous culture,. knows cven the delicate shading to be looked for as each petal oxpands, 8o a goou mofner holds in her heart a hidden lore, connected with the life of her child, all unknown to the restof the world, She may not be able to communicate this knowledge to others, for itis hers by the sacred right of intuic tion, This prerogative of guidance a mother may always justly claim, It is part of the holy mystery of motherhood. I'o our apprehension this matter of mater nal chuperonage does not scem an adaption to the artificial requirements of the social world, but rather an inherent richt—a nate ural claim, which a wise and careful mother cannot well forego, At the very time when her child s launched forth from the safe and sheltered home moorings into the SWIFT AND DANGERGUS CURRENTS of the voyngo of life, tho mother is most needed to pilot her dear charge past all quicksands and sunken rocks. She can supply by her knowlege the ignor- ance of youth, 1 would not ask why shoold a mother chap- eron her daughter, but rather formulate my question 1o to, Why should a mother not chapéron her daughter? 1 fancy 1n the discussion of such a proposi- tion, it will be found more dificuit to prove the negutive, and when the subject is once properly understood, it must be conceded that u mother should assuredly coutinue her care. ‘There exists no reason why she should not. But the question becomes rather more complicated, perhaps, when the mother nave died, or when, from any cause, it he- comes imposssible for her to perform this duty. Then the American girl asserts herself. She has been reared to dn ndepenaence of thougnt aud action which makes her dissatis- fied with all restra nt o construes chaperonage as espionage. She declares that she will not tolerate be- ing watched, and uvers that she must be al- lowed entire freedom and liberty of action, and she asserts that her own perceptions of right and wrong, wnd her innate delicacy of gentiment, are all that is needed to make it quite safe for her to go wherever und when- ever she chooses und to do whatever she wills to do. Now this is true, and it is not true. 1n the first place, iv is a mistake to con- found chaperonage with espionag: To suppose that a chaperon is a spy on ane's actions is o perversion of the proper anctions of such an office. A chuperon is either a mother ora se 1écted matronly friend, whose tender inter- or friendiiness i8 the best guarantee against misconstruction. A young girl is supposed to be i1y, GUILELESS, ARTLESS AND CONFIDING. Theso are very lovable traits, whioh will donubtless some . day contributo to the happi- ness of a home circle of her ownj; but just in proportion as these attractions cxist, they become dangerous without guidance from their very nature, and on account of the in- expericuce of youth, ‘I'hen young girls, even if ever so0 carefully trained, as to understand the nicer conven- tionalities that regulato the polite world, aro inclined to be heedless, and carried away for the time being by tho exhilaration of a gay life. Thus, with tho best disposition to do only what is proper, they commit errors that in & measure misrepresent them, and which they afterward regeet. Now, it is obvious that the dignified pres- ence of u mavron who loves them, or is all in- terested in them, would check all inadvert- ent indirection from the outset, and thus in the ena greatly contribute to thewr future well-being and happiness. ‘The situations are innumerablo that sug- gest themsclves where such a safeguard would be the greatest kinduess. “Thio French have a pithy saying, that *it is tho first step that costs.”” How trne! At what cost of vain and unavailing regret might the wise chaperon spare a heedless irll i A facility of broken engagements as well as of divorce wouldseem to go hand in hand. Iv is in either case a broken troth. Now one of the special duties of the mothier or the chaperon is to guard their arriageable wards as far as possible in re- ceiving the attentions of men. An engagement, annonnced or unan- nounced, is always more or loss compromis- ing, and should in honor be deemed a sacred promise not 1o be violated unless for grave and most serious reasons. A youug girl unguided is not ver weigh nll consequences, and the future 1s to her very dreamy, She LIVES IN HER EMOTIONS and in the present, and sadly needs the aid of a pair of loving sboectac ves to muke ber illusions safe réulities. “[here are so many little things, which are noi so trivial us they would seemn, where o v jud is needed.

It is under- stood that o gentleman has the privilege of sending flowers and perbaps, it the friond- ship i well established, boxes of bou-vons to alady. As to presents havingamoney value they are, of course, out of the question.

It is & trausparent alumos- apt to vhore of beauty, which of its very nature must bo avanescent. And the mother or older friend rejoices in this, to them, renewed freshness that recalls their own youth, and seeks to BIIELD THIS BXQUISITE CITARM that it may expand into a perfect flower and 1ot be too rudely dispelled. Dear American girls. you are troe in all womaniinesa; you are adepts in gracious and winning ways that are numberloss; in strongth of purposs you are undaunted, as becomes the danghters of brave men: given all this—yot—are you not—well—just a tritie 100 self-poised, self-reliant and self-assert- ingt ‘Would it not add a poerless charm were you to incline a little, in graceful compliance 10 the parent talk ! ‘Would it nov be safer? ‘I'he sunfiowor holas a very high head, it is boaming, diffusive, and strong; but he who 10oks upon it passes on and socks the fra- grant heart of tho busting rosebud, which he craves as his yery own.

It may be Very ‘ferry to drive out alono with an agréeable man, but it may mnot always bo so ploasantto realize afterward that your innovent recreation has been mis- consirued. A theater party must have its chaperon, for, in the very iresence of a public that is not always the most fastidions, thore should be every possible protection. Parties and dances of young without the restraining presence of seniors SHOULD NOT IR EXGOURAGED, Theso may be conducted with the greatest decorum, but in the social life of young girls it is bad form to subject them to any bazards. Modern society is complex and concrete. It has its meaning in all 1ts rules, It is the result of tho advanced ideas of ages of de- velopment, and it is consequently neither aimless nor sensoless, while its convention- alties are the expressed formula of civiliza- tion, Of course this does not imply a bliud sub- servience to the capricious dictates of fashion. These are apt 10 bo as inaue 83 their origi- nators, and it is a safo rule, so far as dress and the .manner of our entertainment go to avoid being noticed. It is such a pal- try ambition to be known for what one has or wears rather than for what one really 1s, In conelusion, I am sure that whea Amor- ican girls reflect upon the advantages to bo derived from tho presence of a kind mother or friend in their social life, they will divest themselves of the mistaken notion of being watched or restrained, and really desire the aid of such affectionute or friendly solicitude.

Fur bands will be extensively used on cloth and gowns this winter. For out-of-door toilets brown, gray, tan aud black gloves are the correct wear. Pancls aro shil a fashionable feature on most gowns for street and carriage wear. Skirts are made longer in the back than fovmerly. They are shorter in frovt, bowever. All waists have surplices, bretelies, plas- trous, waist coats, or revers of one kind or anothier, Wraps are very short in the back nnd long, sometimes ronching the bottom of the skirt, in front. The Carrick cave, with a flat boa or stole ending in square tabs a little above the knees, is very fashionable in London. Wide wihite linen cuffs and collars are coming into fashion again. Their popularity rests upon the fact taat they are Engiish.

These lectures will' bo assoclated with simple unscetarian religious exercises.

Bofore Nebraska and Kansas were organ- ized into territories, in May, 1854, treaties were made with several Indian tribes, in which theso pre-occupants of the soil ceded thoir rights to tho United States, excepting the several reservations to which they wero to be removed and confined. Theso treatios stipulated for the payment of anuuities ac- cording to population, a portion of which, with the consent of Indians, was set apart for education aud tho purchase of imple- ments of civilized labor. The commissioner of Indian affairs sub- mitted certain measures which were ap- proved by fresident Pierce, and which,if car- ried out, it was believed - would give every child on the reservation an English edu tion. The Presbyterian board had for some years been conducing missions among three of these tribes, vi; the lowas, Sacs and Omahas, and gladly’ entered into contracts with the government tddarry out the avowed policy of both in repect to thege, and includ- ing with them also tho ' Otoes and Kicka- the terms of thesa contracts, three new building, cuch_adapted fer from seventy-five 10 one hundred childrét of both sexes, were to be erected by the board on the reservi- tions. ho Towas and Sacs had already suf- ficient accommodatiow it the mission house built for them jointly ten years before. The Omahas also had théir mission house at Bellevue: but us theirreservation was sev- eniy-five wiles further ‘north, another was neeaed, ng one of thé' three new build- mgs required. 100; ‘The erection of -these' manual labor board- ing-schools, with the #fiilliauces and outfits, in an unscttled couritey, where labor was high and mechanieal skiil difiicult to obta where lumber had t4'be drawn long dist- ances with ox teams,’ Was fraught witn the greatest diMeulties, 4 By the provisionsof the Omiha treaty a grant of four contiguous quarter sections of land, embracing the rmssion premises at Bellevue, was made 1o the board. This was platted into town lots and a suMlicient num- ber sold to_cover the expense of the new buildings and to stock them with clothing and provisions. Teachers nlso were engaged, whose sala- ries and traveling exnenses were et, not from the indian anuvuities, but from funds furnished by the churches, as in the casc of other missionaries. ‘'hus the board's equipment was complete for carrying out the neneficent plans of Com- missioner Mannypenny and Secretary Me- Jlolland, of President Pierce's cabineunt. Missionary teachers were on tho gronod, h abundant supplies for the naked boys and girls inthe wigwams, anxiously waiting for their coming into the school, aud using wwhat power they possesscd to induce theu to come. But the children were kept at home, and no compulsory inducement by the government agent or the department at Washington was applied to overcome native indifference, or rather native prejudice, fos- tered by unprineipled white men, Another administration had succeeded the one that proposed and e d the con- tracts, and at the end of five years, in 1560, notice was given the board that these would not be renewed, except in the case of the Omahas, aud that, as requested by the In- dians, their educational funds would be ap- plied to day schools under government control The changed policy of tho government re- snited in the Iowa and Sac building being converted for a time into an Indian_ orphuan school for children of any of the tribes, and supported exclusively from funds of the board, and in the abandonwent of the Otoe and Kickapoo buildings, which, being erected on the reservations, were lost to the board, though not without Jong und fruitiess efforts to secure its equities in them, Notice 1o Ministers.

How Tradesmen Have Been Employed and the Prospects of the Season When Open Work s Saspended. The Strugele for Ohiel The principle tovic now beiag discussed at the national meeting of brotherhood engin- cers in Denver is a federation of all labor unions under cortain restrictions. The dele- Ratos ‘areg divaded on the subject, and some lively disossinng have taken place. Apother important thing is the election of ofoers, . ‘Thls takes place Mouday night, The canvass is waxing warm. The candi- dates have narrowed down to three for tho ohiefship, - Thoy are Arthur, Veddor and Vroman., It is pretty generaily concedod that Mr. Arthur will secure a majority of the convintion's votes on the first ballot, But if bty fuils to do this, his doefeat is cor- tain, and the fighv wiil iie between Mr. Ved- der and Mr. Veoman, with the chances of each u_matter o1 conjocture. Mri Vedder was interviewed and said that if elected he would ostablish the headguar- tors in Denver, and then there would be n very good show to sccure their permunent 1ocation there and the erection of o magnif cent building. The order now has on hand the snug sum of #183,000, which is_to be ex- pended ina building for national headquar- ters. Several cities bave made bids for the site, but if Denver were to show any willing- ness he was confident the hoadquarters would be established ia that city, Mr. Vedder will go into the contest with many western aelegates benind him. As chairmon of the gricvance committes of the Gouid system, he made himself next to Vro- man, popular with the brotherhood of Mis- souri, Kansas, Nebraska, Arkaosas and Texus, Aunother thing that renders him strong, is his avowed preferonce for labor federation, and the submission by him of a resolution 10_that effect, which of cours onposed by Chief Arthur, but which w some slight modifications, it is thought, will be adopted. In case Vroman should be chosen chief, the chances of Omaha’'s gotting the permanent national headquarters of the brotherhood not be lessened. he basis of federation in the convention is about as follows: 1. Let each road's erievance committeo of wvarious brauches of e ves meet and elect a representative of each branch to attend a general convention, 2. Avthis latter meeting let a grand griev- ance committeo be formed, empowerca to investigate avances and submit to the leading officors of the vavious orders inter- ested. 3. Mo guard against ullowing the prostige of the brotherhood to be used to carry through minor strikes, and to strike only as a last resort. Feteraion of Labor. Samuel Gompers, president of the Awmer- ican Federation of Labor, has issued his un- nual circular, The next convention will be neld 10 Boston December 10, The basis of reprosentation will be as follows: “From national or international unions, for less than four thousand members, one dele- gate; four thousand or wmore, two delegate: eight thousand or more, three delegates; six teen thousund or more, four delegates; thir- ty-two thousand or more, five delogates, aud 80 onj and from cach localor dissrict trade organization or feacrated body, not con- nected with or having a national or interna- tiondl head, afilidted with this federation, one delegate.” The circular which is being sont broadcast congratulates the fellow-workers on their success during the year. “‘Itis not our pres- ent purpose,” says’ the president, “*to dilate upon the sulferings and successes, the trials and trinmphs of the unions: nor 1o re-assert our fuith 1 the ability of the unions to cope with every cmergency—economic, political or social. The trade union, the most bitterly attacked and denounced institution in the world’s history, has_successtully withstood the open assaults of capitalists and politi- cians, while calmly repelling the secret machinations of conspirators within the very cordon of the camp of labor, Suflice it then to say that ‘the workers have realized that the men who are employed in any particular branchof industry understand the natare of it and ape botter qualified to adjust any difi- culties which way arise with theiwr employers than men jwho aro unacquainted with the conditions of hthav business; that reckiess andso-called “‘sympathetic” strikes are di- sastrous in the extreme, aud genorally result in the workmen goig back to work upon the ewployers' terms; and finally, the workers are.convineed that open organization is the best form of orgamization, and thut the time has now arrived Lo openly, calmly and fear- lessly assert the claims of labor. With theso views the St. Louis convention of the American Pederation of Labor resolved upon a general agitation for the esteblishment of the eight-hour workday upon May 1, 1860,and itynow becomies the miss.on of the Boston convention to transform, if in the witdom of tho delegates there assemoled it may be deemed advisable, the agitation, which has now become world-wide, 0 an organized movement {or its realization,” In conclusion the gentieman urges a full attendunce of delegates from all parts of the coun try. , Want u Union “Iwish wo had a union,” said o good- natured. carringe-maker to a Bre reporter, as he loosencd tho bolt of an old vehicle, which he was about to muke nnew. “There are 250 of us fellows who are up in our busi- ness in this city, and we conld havea big union from the start. All we uced is some person to take the lead. Nearly all the boys would join.”” As the man lifted the whoel from the axle, he continucd: *Since Janu- ary the carviage maker jours have done £5,000 in repairs, to say nothing of the hun- dreds of new rigs that we have turnod out, Yes, this is our busiest scason, but it will be over soon, und in two months from this there will not be 100 journeymen earriage makers in the city, “The boys wili float out, s0mo of them going south and others to the I'risco coast OF to some city in the east where they manufacture the year round.” Labor Keview, Mhere are at prescnt about twenty-six unipn and thirty-five scab horseshoers in Ouwaha who bhave had steady ewploywent sia Jaguary.
