W MAX WHO CAN'T WALTZ. In the grand division of the bless
ings showered upon humanity it looks to an unprejudiced observer as though
something like the favoritism of poli
tics had somehow or other crept in
and marred the symmetrical equity of
the deal. For example, many of us
have little to boast of, unless we count good sense and big feet as precious from rarity, while others seem to have
got away with more than a grown person's share of the wealth of paradise. On every band we see people with brains of spongy texture loaded with wealth and blessed with children smarter than anybody's parents, while the real salt of the earth are poor in purse and without influence in politics. A man more shiftless than the celebrated Gre
cian menial may have pie with molasses
on it, simply because he has married a woman of industrious habit and acquisitive nature, while the deserving citi
zen of sterling talent plods along with his nose to earth, too badly off to know the taste of meat more frequently than seldom. No man who treads the byways of life with eyes in his head can help but notice these things and ponder
on their strangeness. There is said to be a cause for everything this side of Washington City, except, mayhap, the

perversity of woman and the abundance' of warts on a boy's hands ; but why all people are not equally blessed with the gifts of nature is still deeply buried in that mibty gloom to which the flambeau of reason has not yet penetrated.
Any one who has ever contemplated
the look of abject-regretftdness curled up in the features of the man who can't
wajtz, while some more fortunate oak of humanity is whirling the wife of his bosom dizzy, will not be at a Joss to understand bow the foregoing seriousness happened to be suggested.
If the gods wanted to bless all men
with some approach to the semblance of equality, the man who can't waltz would have been endowed with legs more talented, and hugging as a pastime would be more generally engaged in by the people who wear pantalocns. The man who can not do his hugging in unison with the billpws of
harmony and the raspings g a fiddle, has a grievance against fate that should make him am object of sympathy whereever corsets are worn and rhythmic
squeezing is fashionable. While a man
with flexible legs and no brains in his head to speak of, is whirling around the room hugging the best-looking girl
he could collar, with all the freedom of a Blue Grass man on a bridal tour in a railway car, this unfortunate victim of heaven's remissness is sitting in a corner, biting his beard and looking on with a quivering chill at the heart, and a sad, yearn ful sort of feeling in his bosom that can never be realized. He may have as much strength in his arms as Apollo with his coat off, but if he
has no education in the legs of the !
polite sort so much admired in high-! toned society, he will have no chance to impede the breathing of any woman who prefers the excitement of migratory squeezing to quiet comfort in a corner. What does it signify if the poor man has the muscle and willing-
38 to crack the ribs of vanity
in a moat satisfying and soothing man
ner, if he is enchered out of an opportunity to strain his tendons on account of legs that can't whirl ? No woman
lonld be induced to sit down beside
him where the wall-flowers bloom and
have her vertebra; endangered, free of
excitement and glaring publicity, without calling up blushes so warm that her bangs would scorch and wither, and yet
if he could only spin around on his
pins and look as blank as the general
ity of luck in a lottery, he could hug till his wind gave out, and take his choice of beauty to practice on, in the presence of a multitude. Let this unfortunate son of sorrow get up on the rlatfona in any ball-room, and request every won-an who wants to be hugged to step that way, and not one contrary
mortal among them will go, and yet, as soon as the musicians begin to manufacture harmony in waltz time, every
woman present will fall into the
nearest man's arms as readily as mioe tumble into a milk-pan in a boardinghouse pantry. Let any man with legs
of awkward uncouthness stumble up to
the plainest beauty under gaslight, and
inquire in tones of the most extreme politeness he can frame into language, if he can have the pleasure of hugging
her in a quiet nook for ten or fifteen
winutes by the watch for the cigars and taffy, and the chances are that La will see more stars than astronomy ever discovered,
and in less time than he could sneeze
if crowded to it with an overdose of the
most pungent snuff. But let a man with greased hair and legs of ability in the gyrations of the giddy mazes step up immediately afterward, and call it waltzing instead of hugging, and she will spring up with eyes snapping with eagerness, and take a hand in a hugging match before the whole crowd, and never give up while her strength holds out, unless the musicians break down with exhaustion. If you ask how it happens that society will strain at a gnat and swallow a camel in this manner, we will have to tell you as the woman said to the lawyer when he wanted to know her age in court we have no personal knowledge on the subject, and hearsay evidence' is no better than spoiled fish any way.

SHOVLD TUB PBESIDXUfT M AKKTV Western newspapers arc beginning to urge upon the President the importance of getting married and dividing the cares of state with somebody who wears back hair and believes in the perpetuity of American institutions. They say the country is bound to go to the bow-wows unless Grover very shortly braces up to sonio young woman and gives her a legal right to boss the pudding at the White House. It is urged that His Excellency ought to have somebody around with whom he could consult occasionally without the formality of calling a Cabinet meeting. Somebody who would haul him over the coals now and then for the good of the nation and tell hiin when to change his undershirt. The President needs a counselor who would part his hair and talk plain English on all occasions without too much waste of more time in idle ceremony a woman with clear-cut-opinions about everything under the 3un, and no shyness about giving expression to the same. His Muohnens needs some one in the house who would mix a little sand with his diet at times, and feel a stronger interest in him than politics can inspire. Some one who would tell him how the Government ought to be run without any mil!i-and-water nonsense, and who would take him down a peg or two whenever ho neglected matters of public importance and went to blowing about how much fun he had in the mountains last summer. The Hope of the Nation ought to have somebody on the ground day and night who would scratch his back and rub him with arnica when he falls over the coal-scuttle in the dark, wit-bout striking him for an office while it is being done some black-eyed gazelle with a strength . of character strong enough to take His Exalted Nibs by the ear and yank him into the path thatleads to national prosperity as often as the vicissitudes of the hour might seem to require. The exigencies of the time demand that the Pride of Buffalo should have some one near him who has no ax to grind and no. private ambition to gratify some one with spectacles of clear glass, and a held not muddled with partisan interests. Somebody who would take him by the coatrcollar on Sunday mornings aid shake him down into his clothes so that he might go to the sanctuary without looking like a publican and a sinnur. Some earnest, careful woman who would see to it that he didn't go to church with his necktie uuder his haft car, or rush down town in a hurry wih his old vest on. A woman who would look after his personal appearance with as much zeal as she would guard her own honor, and keep the feathers out of his hair during the vacations of Congress. As at present situated the President has nothing but his own immaculate dignity to keep him at home of nights, and no means whatever of
finding out what is going on in r,he neighborhood.
This country has been run on -he
single-bedstead plan too much for its
own good already, and a change in the habits of the administration is earnestly desired by every one who has the well-being of the nation seriously at heart. If a man has no society ex
cept that of politicians and inoffensive partisans he is liable to get reckless
in various ways, and become more
or less careless about his dressT and he ought to have somebody around whose
business it would be to keep him
spruced up and tell him when his toe nails ought to be trimmed. As our Government is now organized nobody has the right to dust the dandruff from the Executive shoulders, or intimate to His Loftiness when it would be proper to let up on the affairs of state long enough
to take a bath or get his hair cut. When a man is plunged into pn'olio
dnty up to his eyebrows and weighed down with the cares of millions lie becomes so absorbed in the problems of
the universe that he is lucky if he don't
go to breakfast with his shirt on wrong-
side before more than half the time,
and for this reason the administration
owes it to itself and the dignity of the nation to adopt the only safeguard yet discovered against discrepancies of this
nature.
The President's sister may be a very excellent young woman, but she lias her own potpie to look after, and needs a guardian nearly as badly as the Great Father himself. It will keep her busy for years to come to read all tht.t is said about her book and her short hair in
the newspapers, and it is not withil the bounds of human probability to expect that she can do anything else hilo that little job remains unfinished. As things are now going the White House seems to be running itself, and somebody with power to make things hum from collar to garret is needed to keep old hats out of the windows and the back yard unlittered with fruit cans. Somebody who will go through the President's hair with a tine-toothed comb at frequent intervals and overhaul the grocery bills with scrupulous regularity. As at present managed we can see nothing to prevent the Lired girl from keeping all her relations in sugar from the Executive pantry, and some of these cool mornings when the President goes down into the kitohen after his shaving water he will find that she has slid out and taken all the spoons along with her, to vamoose with some disappointed office-seeker who went around to the back door after a cold bite, and took her affections along with his pie.

have no doubt that more than enough s wasted at tho White House to keep a wife in reasonable comfort aud leave something over besides; henoe the President cannot remain single on the

wants to seo Grover keep fat and do well, but nr. less he divides the cares of

"Thev tell me Jack Weazer is down

'Yes, so I hear. It seems his last
speculation turned out badly."
"What was it?" "He went out West with a car-load
of brooms and couldn't sell them."
"Couldn't sell them?" "No, not a broom." "Perhaps he held theui too high." "No, he didn't. He finally offered to
let them go for the freight, and could'nt find any takers. Nobody seemed to know what they were intended for. Ho might have worked off some of them for wall ornauieuts,
perhaps, but he didn't think of that dodge until after he got back.''
"Do you mean to tell me that folks
out West don't know what a brood is
for?"
"That's what Jack says." "How do they do their sweeping?" "They don't sweep. You see, the
folks out there have all the hard work they want without doing anything they
don't have to do."
"But sweeping is something that has
to be dona"
"No, not by hand. They let the

"I'm not so sure about that," said
Mockabee. who was present. "I don't think it has been lost."
"Oh, yes, it lias," said the lover of
art "We can't mix colors now that
will hold their freshness more than a few years. " "I don't know how that is," returned Mockabee, with one of his ambuscadish smiles, "but I do know that my father varnished some chairs when I was a boy, over thirty years ago, and when 1 was at home on a visit last winter they hadn't got dry yet. There was a preserved sort of freshness about 'em that seemed in a fair way to hang on for a few centuries auyhow." "Have you seen Mr. Soobey yet?" said a farmer's wife to lier huiband, referring (d a newcomer in the neighborhood. "Yes, I stopped there to get some water as I come by this morning, and had a few minutes' chat with him." "What kind of a man does he seem to be?" "Well, he 'pears to be a pleasant enough sort of a body. He's middlin' for'ad of speech, and seems anxious to be sociable. " "Does ho belong to church, do you reckon ?" "I don't know about that for sure, as we didn't get to disomsin' spirit'l matters, but I ruther think he does,
Sairey." "What put that notion in your head, John?" "Well, I noticed that the knees of his pantaloons was patched." The member from Calabash was on his feet in an instant, and striking his
desk a blow that mado the dust fly, he shouted : "Mr. Speaker, Mr. Speaker, will you hear mo?" The little man from Blossom County dropped the bit of shingle on which he was whittling, hopped up and shouted back, as though he had been personally called on for information : "He'd have to be as deaf as a stono jug if ho couldn't."

Mendelssohn delighted in the open air and beautiful scenery. When he wa3 20, he staid for some time at Chester, where he was entertained by a Mr. Taylor. Ho loved afterward to tell of the charm which the meadow, and brook, and trees, and grass had for him there. He spent much time in sketching and painting; but his head was full of music, and everything suggested a musical idea to him. He was very fond of carnations, and he set a bunch of them to music in the album of a daughter of his host, with a drawing of the flowers over the notes ; not forgetting to set some delicate arpeggios in the music for the scent of the flowers. On seeing the younger sister with some bell-shaped liowers in her hair, he said that the fairies might dance on the
trumpets, and he set them to a capriccio. He never tired of merry-mak-iucr, and one afternoon toward dusk, ho, with a number of young people, was one of a happy young company that was picnicking in a thicket. Someone gavly proposed a fire; and all began to drag the boughs and twigs into place, so that soon they had a fine bonfire. While still lingering aTOund it, Mendelssohn began to ask for so,me music, but nothing could be found save a worn-out flddlo of the gardener's. Mendelssohn, all undismayed, began to play, shouting with laughter at Ids performance; but soon there was a hush in the chat and sport, and the whole party was spell-bound at the lovely music which he drew from even that dispised fiddle. Ho could sit fer hours, improvising dance-tunes, and liked nothing better than to entertain his friends with his music. He always looked back on his visit to Chester as one of tho brightest spots in a bright life. Agatha Tmi, in "From Bach to Wagner." St. Nicholas. m Men Versus Women. But I tell you what some Boston wo men would like. They would like a temple consecrated to' them and dedicated to Diana, where they might carry out the schemes of Tennyson's princesses where they could teach and
yet conceal their ignorance, where theyn
could be listenea to iorever ana wnuout interruption, and where ail the hardly, concealed intellectual ambition of a certain class might have room and opportunity for constant display. It is strange that with the progress of civilization there comes always two results. First, the intercourse between men and women becomes easier and pleasanter; second, there is a tendency ou the part of both men and women to separate their interests and even their pleasures. A certain portion of the day and the evening is given up to common pleasures, but there is a large part of each day when both men and women prefer to be apart. I think myself it is a good thing, and so lone; as what separates the sexes is their distinctive duties it is well enough. But among the growing leisure class in the East who have no duties these hours of separation are devoted to amusement. You would be astonished to find how many society women in New York and Boston both smoke and drink. To have nothing to do is a curse to men, but it is deadly poison to women. They are not, as a
rule, so capable of self -amusement as are men, and they are prone, as in the
matter of smoking and drinking, to
tamper with the coarser passtt'temps
of the men. Out of this grow a bold
ness. a carelessness about the minor
delicacies of social life which is notice
able the moment one touches the bor
ders of society in Boston, New ork, or Washington. Boston letter. The English Oirl Through Froneb Spectacles. Paris newspapers are engaged in a discussion of the English girls' physique. It is gravely set forth by one of them that the fine'physiquo of the English is produced artificially by means of baths, soap, and milk during infancy, and that the English girl owes her healthy constitution to a diet of undi rdone "beef seasoned with cayenne pepper, and to the absorption of a quantity of strong malt liquor." The same writer finds two types of faces among the English girls -the nose of the one is "wedged-shaped," and of the other slightly retrousse, and he adds their eyes are "uniformly blue" and their feet "lona and square-toed."
