tnkon up and tho dlscU9don,on tho subject of

Indian agents was rimumod. Mr. I'ottlgrow
opposed the proposition as a step backward
and argued that army officers did not pos
tees the nocestarr ipmlities and were not fa
miliar uitb the business.
Some of tho points made by Mr. Petti
firow woro replied to by Mr. Proctor, par
ticularly one us to tho troubles at i'iuo
Hid?e. If there had been thrco or four
army officors ut tho I'ine Hidge ugoncy, Mr.
Proctor hollered, thoso troubl oa would not
have occurrod there, and tho millions of
mousy and tho lires lost thoro would have
been saved.
A dissertion on tho policy of tho country
followed on tho part of Mr. PelTor. Tho
discission was continuod by Mr. Hawley,
who favored the pi opoitiou and by Mr.
Mandorson, who expressed his belief that
with army otliccrs as Indian agenrs, tho era
ut bad blankets, shoddy clothing and rancid
bacon would bo at cud.
Tho discussion, which lasted over two
hours, was closed by Mr. Dawes, chairman
of tho committor on Indian ali'airs, who had
charge of the bill, in an argument against
tho House provision as being a radieul
change in the administration of tho Indian
Mirvice, a change spiung up by a siuglo
member of the Hoitso and which had not
received tho (-auction of any exectivo olllcer,
lie complimeuted Mr. Proctor's brilliant
administration of the ar dopartmont, al

occurred during tho administration "result

TlrtoOKl.TX, April 4. Thp re-Idents oi
Brooklyn Heights, tlie fnshlonable part ol
the city, were thrown Into great- excite
rncnt Saturday morning by the explosion
of a bomb In front of tho ioiclcnc ol
Charles Uolchnaglo nt ." Willow street.
Tlie bomb was laiil close to the curbstone
in front of Mr. Roichnnglc's liouw, and
tho explosiem wns so terrilic tlutt all ol
the brick structure's In tho immediate
neighborhood were shaken. Thick pinto
glass windows were .shivcreel into splln
tors. Tho noise of the uxploslou aroused
the. people for several blocks around, nnd
many pushed into the street clad only in
their night Kaimetita, bolievint' theii
houseti were about to fall. In tho vicinity
of where the explosion occurred live the
Her. Lymnn Abbott, pallor of the. Plym
outh church, (ienernl Horatio C. Kinr;
nnd ex-Mayor Daniel O. Wiiltnoj. The
police are actively investigating tho case.
Their first theory was that the bomb was
not intended for Mr. Heichnngle, but foi
n neighbor, John McDermott, who is
bedicvesl to have, incurred thu enmity ot
a recently discharged convict.
The police authorities do not think tho
bomb was exploded with malicious intent.
There- is every indication, however, that
the explosive used in the construction ot
the bomb wns either uitro glycerine or
dynamite. Tlie action was downward and
thu cobble stone on which the bomb lvsted
wns shattered and ptilvetized. The lo
cality where the eli-ttirbaiice occurred is a
remarkably quiet place nt all hours of the
elay and night. The perpetrator of the
out rno,e is supposed to be a man who
calleel at a number of houses in thu neigh
borhood em a begging mission. He said he
w,is a convict, and the meagre description
which can be obtained by the poliui de
scribe the man as of medium size and
build and eif middle age. The late hour
at which he called caused some suipris
to the peopie whom he nppiotiehed, but
tliey paid little attention to him and the
police can obtain little clue upon which to
work.
Mr. Iiogeis, a resident of the neighbor
hood, says he saw a stout, wedl dres-eil
limn walking rapidly down Willow street
ju.-t utter the explosion, nnd who wuvwl
his hand at him and shouted: "Don't b
alarmed, the explosion was down the river
front. Mr. Rogers thinks be was one ot
the dynamiter-. Other resldonts also re
port seeing the man. who shouted the
same tiling to ttrm. The explosion caused
n great deal eif ahum among the people in
the vicinitv, who were aroused from their

thought that an eirlhquake. Intel occurred

GI1U.S WHO FLIRT.
WHY MEM MARRY WOMEN WHOSE
ACTION3 THEY CONDEMN.
A rosslblo Solution of the Slystcry of tlio
Single State or Hctltito Girls nnel tlio
Splendid Marriages of So Culled "Friv
olous" Young Women.
Select your own immediate circlo of
young lady friends thoso whom you hnvo
known during the lost ten yenrx find j-ou
will And, I think, thnt few if any of tlio
Hirtishly inclined girls romiiined single,
tvliilo sevoral of their prudent nnel well bt
haved and more industrious sisters nro
still clinging, ungathercd, on tho parentul
branch.
Not many yenrs ago I hoard n father enn
tion his two lovely nnel accomplished
daughters against an intimn'cy with two
of their girl friends. "Thoso girls are be
coming so llirtish nnd gay," ho said, "thnt
I nm suro j-our good names will suffer if
you uro seen much in their company Men
aro quick to comment upon and misintcr
prct such frivolous actions as I see those
girls indulge in, nnel 1 do not want you to
suffer from an unwise intimacy 1 have
no doubt that thsy are innocent girls now
imt they will soon lose tlio reputation of
Innocence If they are not more prudent."
The elavigliturs of the gentleman listened
to his counsel und ceased to visit the J'oung
ladies who had been accused of being llirts
anil not without cause; and yet, 1 regret
to relate, tho two llirts arc today wives of
men who adoic them, nnel who aro the
most tcJider und eluvotcd husbanels, while
the two prudent daughters ot tho dicieet
gentleman have remained nt homo un
wooed ami uuwon.
Innumerable cases of n similar kind
have coma under my immwliatu observa
tion. 1 always feel exasperated with men
when 1 see them choosing such girls lor
wives, while the prudent and discreet ones
are pas-eel by, c.usperatcel not because of
their choice so much ns because of their
praise for the type they neglect and their
censure lor the. typo they select. It is a
curious problem.
I have trice! to -olve it and render the
conduct of men cou-isteiit with their ever
. epeated asset tinn of aversion to the very
girl- they seem most really to mairy
It seems to me that 1 have arrived at the
.xplanation of the problem.
Men themse lves do not know why they
.ire attracted to ami won by these gills,
lespite their better judgment, but I think
I can explain the matter to them.
Stronger and deeper than man's cult!
vated and acquired taste for the domestic
virtues of civili.eel life is his inborn ad
miration for what they usually term "go''
in a woman.
1 think I have seen more men's eyes
spnr'.le when thi'y described a woman as
full of "go than I have ever seen Irom
any other cause
A man will be very calm anil matter of
fart win n he tells you how very beautiful
-otne woman is, he will bu phlegmatic ami
pio-.ue when he- tell- yem of some "highly
arumiplishcel aid charming woman" he
tuiims. Not a ripple will disturb the
repo-e of his face when he speaks of some
good, domestic, viituous girls of his nc
'lUaititnnce; but when lie says. "I!y .lovei
-lie'- full of goi" his calm becomes exhil
aration, Ins eye glows, his voice tin ill-..
I l.ae heard them say it -reues ol times
mil it i-i always with the same intense dej-
light and appreciation.
I hcnid it said once of a girl on a country
farm, the hire d man icll ill just Hi the har
vest season, and she took his .-eat on the
gteat leaper and drove four horses until
the overripe w heat was cut anil bound. 1
heard it said i t a young girl who hail been
reared in luxury ami idleness, and who-o
father died suddenly and left the family
with nothing but debts, in ics- than six
months she had canvas-ed all the adjoin
ing towns and had obtained n huge paying
class in music. I heard it said of the wife
of a famous politician whose energy and
tact and brilliancy nun him halt Ins snores-,
and I heatd it saitl of n society girl,
who was nut bejnutiful or rich, but who bev
came a belle bt cause bho was tho he-st
daueer, lielei, swimmer nud talker in her
set.
Now it Is tlie same element a sort of
combust ive hidden quality of character
that actuated thee women to do what
they did. winch causes many girls to be
come llirts. Girls devoid of this element
elo ilot muicrstaiid why they are not as at
tractive" to men as some less beautiful and
less prudent trieinl may be, and think the
male sex ery unappreciative.
They ln.ir men severely cuticisu the gin
whose niisilii ected "go" has led her into
flirtatious follies with Ins sux. vet he Is at
tiacteel, in spite of himself, by the eiuality
which nctunlcil her lollies, and hu cuds by
marrying her.
M ilo not -ce that it pays to be well be
limed niid prudent." s.iiel a very bivuititnt
and modest girl to me lecently "The men
treat you with respect, but thoy pay nl.
their atteiuiuu to ami liually marry thu
girls . lio lin t w uu ihein."
I coulel not deny the truth of her utnte
nients, yet I felt sorry to almlt it. But no
modest and discreet giiir need envy tho
happiness ot a Hut.
It she marries a man she loves, every In
ill-erect act and every lamiliar attention
she litis received from oilier men dttriug
her (lil ting days will be like drops of gall
in her cup of sweets. Anil it 'he docs not
love the man she marries siiicly she is not
to be envied, lor she is very likely to con
tinue her Uiitiitious after man uige.
The best advice I can give to tho modest
and good girls is to cultivate "go ' F.x
tremely eli.-cieet anil domestic girls, who
never feel any inclination to kick over tlie
traces of conveutionulitj-, are worthy and
excullent members of society, but they
f-chleiin possess much "go." This Uulity
needs to be born in a person, like mo-t
other qualities, if wo would achieve great
results, yet it can be cultivated.
Shake joiirself up, overcome j'our self
consciousness, your indolence and your
team of public comment! Try to bo tuii
mated, try to be ambitious, tactful, minis
lug and thoughtful of others.
Don't get into conventional ruts anil act
like every other girl you know Dare to
be yotirse-lf, for every one has un Indlviilu
ality peculiarly her own. Hut in your ef
torts to be attract ive elun't attempt to bo
flirtish when it is not j our nature to be so,
because you see that men make love to
Wits- oven while despising them, it j'pu
do you will siuely bring ridicule rind din
graic upon yuurselt and win uo man's re
gard. It is not the llirtiug which draws the
men it is tlie eleinent I have referred to
which, when misdirected, treeiiieutly causes
a girl to J 1 1 it,, that attracts them, even iu
spite of their prejiiiltccs.
A man would prefer a girl who possessed
"go" and wdio diel not become a flirt, if
you, devoid of this element, degenerate
Into a flirt, you will be like some literary
aspirants who emtilntu the vices of Balzau
and Swiuburne without pousiug any of
their gemius.
Avoid lliiting, my dear girls, but culti
