THE PARTING SIGH.

ST ERIC ROBKRTSOX. Here have I laid my love that's dead : An hour aj?o she hnddered. 'Sweet, h brave!" Then sighed and died in the last kiss he gave; And all the music of the life we led fcinks like the anthem sinking overhead I'pon the c arven slecpm ou a crave, CU-avinsf in stone together as thev elave In the lifo endexl when.- they once were wed. "Be brave?" What then the bravest way to die? Kay. 'twere the noblest dying for her sake To" spend my heart-blood felowly, through long years. And while my insatiate miser soul doth make Its dark, dear hoard of her sweet memory, hm fie for the world, and serve it keep my tears. The Academy. SENTINELS.

The Southern watcrruelon crop is said to . be short. Englishmen are growing more partial to gas stoves. British han.om cab often run on American wheels. Ten millions of base halls are made and sold in this country every year. Drainage has diminished deaths from consumption in Vermont one-half. If 32.(00,000 women should clasp hands, they could reach around the glole. There has never been a holiday, a theater or a circus on the Isla nil of Malta. All Queen Victoria's children are fond of the theater, and go there frequently. There are few towns in England under 20,G00 inhabitants which have a daily paper. The small volcano discovered about a year ago near Santa Maria. Cal.. is still burning. A good base ball player in Rhode Island grets a bigger salarv than the Governor of the ' State. A professional wild lnja.-d trainer uses electricityto subdue the animals when they are unruly. Ten thousand Protestant children are now attending; Roman Catholic schools in this country. A Georgia youth gave his rival twelve peaches to keep away from the girl he was courting. The average duration of life in Russia is twenty-six years the lowest of any European nation. Cotton cloth, the Fall Itiver Herald says, . Las fallen three cents a yard the lowest price ever reached. Dom Fedro, of Brazil, is the oldest living sovereign. He has reigned fifty-three years, ' or since he was six years old. Two men were recently sentenced in Mexico, one to ten years' imprisonment, the other to be hanged for burying a woman alive. An oil well is to be sunk in the city of Los Angeles, Cal. It is expected that the oil stratum will be tapped at less than 300 feet. San Francisco Chinese are not content with the monopoly of the laundry business of the city, but thev control 0100 of the pork industry as well. The annual sale of Cologne water in the United States is about $2,000,000. The total ralue of the watep exported from Cologne to this country in l4 was S23,134.4'J. A prudent woman at Fairfield, Mich., has provided herself with a fall summer toilet of mourning, including a stylish lonnet, because "several of her folks are delicate." In Bants County, Georgia, a few days ago, two brothers married two sister under a jersimon tree by the roadside, and all went on a "bridal tour"' to the cotton patch next morning. California papers report the discovery of a new wine peach wine, made from the juice of soft ripe peaches. It is said to be the finest flavored and most delicious wine ever discovered. A delver in matrimonial statistics has discovered that out of nearly COO graduates of a prominent college for young women les than l?) have secured husband, the remaining two-thirds being hoieleIy fixed in the single state. It appears that they grow to a green old age in Surrey, England. Recently a widower of eigbty-fuur was married to a widow of eightyseven. The bridegrrom was attended by a grandson and the bride ly a couple of greatgranddaughters. Young man, says an exchange, it is the girl who will pas an ice cr?am sal xn without looking in who will make you a vmA wile. But lx.-warc of the girl that can look in without going in. Hie is too strong or the average man. A "Western citizen who hadb t: worsted in a fight was told that he coul I collect damages. ''I did collect damage,'' he replied mournfully. "I collected everything but a piece of my left ear and two front teeth; I couldn't find those." More is required of young ladies in society than of young men. A young man need not . be beautiful, need not sing, play or sav any thing intelligent. He may be ositively idaotit- and jet get on well in society, as is shown in numerous instances. A recent prize man in one of the leading New England colleges is said to have paid Iiis way through college by buying old clocks and other bric-a-brac in back country towns. and selling them at fancy prices to New lork and Jew Haven collectors. A girl ten years of age has just reached San Francisco safely after having traveled alone from Harwich, England, via Liverpool, Philadelphia, Chicago and Omaha. She tells n of nothing but kindnss exjerieiiced at the hands of the officials all through her long journey. 9 A man who owns a farm in Georgia is selling orT his dwelling house by piecemeal, a room at a time. Half the building and two chimneys are pone. He began on his cabins, then his barn went, his gin-house, and now the house is disappearing. He get3 $2 to $3 lor a room. Five miles west of the city of Jacksonville, Fla., a site has been selected for a proposed Uritish colony, to be known as Roxburgh, from its influential friend and patron. The land is said to be of the best quality for orange growing and truck farniinsr, ami a railroad, a water course and a frequented public highway are cloe at hand. The Florida people extend a warm welcome to the new project. Two Indians in a village near Quebec wert Xecentlj- discussing the form of the earth. One affirmed that it was round because men Lad traveled in a straight line and come back to the same place. To this it was replied that men were apt to travel in circles, as they often do when lost. Then it was urged that White men said so, and they knew more than the Indians; but it was answered, white men often lied, as the Indians very well knc. A practical philosopher solved the w hole diflinilty by driving a stake into the ground and t lacing an apple on it at night. In the morn- , the apple was still there, to his great sat-

i.sfactiQTi ; whereas he said, if the earth hdd revolved in the night the apple would have fallen off, v - . , .,- A little boy in "Brooklyn, N. Y., three years old, was lost Saturday night, and the search made for him was fruitless. In the morning he was found asleep on the roof of the tall, building where he and his mother had been visiting. He had gone up to g ?t a good view of the fireworks and fell asleep. The actual cost of what are usually sold as five cent cigars at retail, is thus stated by one who claims to be informed on the subject: Actual cost of tobacco (namely, what the tobacco raiser gets for it) for 1.000 cigars, $2; cigar loses, $1; wages for 1.000, $&; packing. $1; stripping, 00 cents; total cost of production, $12 50, or lj; cents a cigar. A patriotic citizen of Vacaville, California. who detests the Chinese, recently refused to sell a native of the Celestial Empire a lot for $1.000. but sold it to an esteemed Yankee friend for $."00. With an eye to biwnev.. the Yankee sold it to the heathen, and pocketed a profit of $.-00, and the original owner now has a Chinese washee" sign floating next

door. "The Great American Desert" is a thing of the past. The quadrant which this "desert'' once occupied on the map once em braced the area now occupied by the States of Minnesota, uatota, lowa, ieorash.a. Missouri. Kansas. Arkansas to the Indian Territory "an area in total equal to nine ew England. lue gram product oi mis "desert" in 1SS0 amounted to Ot2,UG.20O bushels. Cholera germs show decided affinity for human lips; therefore fruit from infected districts is dangerous. The orange epecialev, or. anv fruit which, like this, i- washed with water before shipment, is very likely to transmit the germs. To touch the body of a cholera patient and afterward accidentally to touch one's own lip3 with the same hand, would probably cause cholera to the person so doing. A voung Scotchman, whose father has made large investments in farming lands throughout the country, has just hired him self out to an Illinois farmer, at the rate of $15 ier month, for the purjose et learning the American methods of farming. He expects to devote two rears to this object, and then take charge ot oneoi ms iainer s urms. consisting of 100,0 acres, in Southwest Missouri. The virtus of the hardy mountaineers of Switzerland are being sapped by drink. In the matter of brandy alone the population which, all told, including women ami cjiildren. numbers but 2,.VX.nt m consumes 'J7,0,0X litres per annum, a litre being pretty well equivalent to an ordinary wine bottle. This is an average of thirty bottles of brandy to each adult male. Iirge quantities of wine and beer are also consumed. The true landed aristocracy of the United States is composed of the red men. There are about 2to,000 Indians, and their land reservations amount to 175,000 square miles. Each Indian has, therefore, a little more than two-thirds of a square mile of land. The reservatHVis of Dakota, Montana and the Indian Territory comprise l.r0,0i.0 square miles, occupied by about 127,0" Indiaus. or less than one inhabitant to the square mile. A lady of New York City, Mrs. Harriet Maxwell Converse, was adopted by the .Senecas at the Cattaraugus Reservation last week. Mrs. Converse is the daughter of the late Ex -Congressman Thomas Maxwell, of Elmira, w ho was adopted in 1S02 ny the Senecas because of his great friendship for Red Jacket. Mrs. Converse, his daughter, was received as the stejv-daughter of Red Jacket with all the ancient ceremonials of the Seneca s. Last autumn a bookseller named Me3er, of Ronneburg, tied a waterproof label under the wing of a swallow which had occupied a nest at his hous and had become comparatively familiar. Oa it he wrote a query in Oermaa to the effect that he wished to know where the swallow would pass the winter. Tle bird returned to its former nest bearing an exchange label similarly fastened saying in German also: "In Florence, in Castellaris house, and I bear many salutations." Zerah Ijldett and wife, of Norfolk, have had six daughters, says the New Hartford (Conn.) Tribune. The first death in the family was the father, at the age of eightyfour years, then followed the mother at the age of eighty nothing so remarkable in the age of the parents, as the six children who survive them. The circle was not broken until July 3. by the death of Eliza M. Humphrey, wife of Ieacon James Humphrey, at "cst Norfolk, at the age of seventyone, the combined age of the six sisters being 4:2 years. . The Iuke of Cumberland, who is erecting a castle in Gmunden, on the Traunsee, ordered the whole of the iron work for the hothouse from aXeipsie manufacturer on condition that none of the men employed thereon should be either native or naturalized l'russians, and that no engineer engaged in sujierintending the work should have passed his State examination in a Prussian institution or be in any way connected with the Prussian State. The chief engineer was even obliged to present his baptismal record. The National Museum at WaMiin'ton has received some relics of the first iron furnace in America. This was at Falling Creek, in Chesterfield County, Virginia, a few miles Ix-low Richmond, but on the oposite side of theJatncs. The works were begun in 1G1!, but in 1022 were destroyed by an Indian massacre. They were never renewed, and the next attempt to manufacture ironi was made by Governor Sj-ottswood, near the present site of Fredericksburg, about 172'. To this the plantation of George Washington's father, Augustine, contributed much ore. At Funfkirchen. in Hungary, a terrible explosion has just occurred, in which the inventor of a new sort of dynamite has fallen a victim to his own invention. The man, a German named Lisch, resided with his aged mother in an isolated house, in which he was accustomed to carry on his dangerous trade. He hau sohl the patents for his new explosive in America and elsewhere. Just prior to the explosion he was engaged in nailing up a box containing a consignment of the material, w hen suddenly the whole blew up, unroofing the house and burying the inventor and his mother under the falling ruins. Some of the Salvationists indulge in a free-and-easy style of morality. Marcellus Rouse, a well-to-do young farmer of Corning, N. Y., was converted by the Salvation Army a month or two ago, and two weeks ago married a young female Salvationist. In about ten days she expressed a wish to leave her husbaud and marry Sherman Grant, a friend of bis. In return for a silver watch and 2i) Rouse resigned all claim to her, and she went to Grant's farm, and is living there with him. Rouse married hi w ife's sister the same nftemon, and she has taken charge of his domestic allairs. At a recent meeting of the Vestry of St. James', Piccadilly, a parish which includes a large ortion of aristocratic London, a motion to prcscni an ' address to the Prince of Wales.drawing bis attention to the depression of trade in the west end of London, consequent, in a largo degree, on the absence of the court, was shelved by a majority of only one. It is remarked that from June 10, 1871, until June 20, H7j, the Queen passed but nine and one-half days in liOndon, and she has scarcely passed any more since. Even at the recent crisis, she came no nearer than Windsor, although no town palace in Europe has such extensive gardens and offers such seclusion as that of Queen Victoria,

WASHINGTON LETTER.

- m - ter Waeklj Utosfcitel. Bulpt Fraai the ; ' National Capital. Appointment Clerk Hlggin Firt Ait!nt Post matter General Stevenson McCalmont, Commissioner ot Customs. "Washsc;ton, July 15. There have been some very busy men . in Washington this week despite the hot weather. Probably the busiest of the bmy ones have been the new First Assistant Postmaster General, the much written of appointment clerk of the Treasury, and the Commissioner of Customs, who is doing double duty in the closing up of the year's work and in keeping an eye to the appointments of his Bureau. The busiest part of the Treasury a month ago was the Internal Revenue Bureau, where the Collectors were being turned oat and the new ones put in. Most of these, however. Lave been attended to, and there is comparative quiet in this part of the Treasury.. In the Customs Bureau, however, there are a good many "rascals" yet to ''turn out." There are Collectors or Surveyors of Customs at nearly all the important interior cities, and at all the ports of any importance. These have a large number of assistants under them, making the Customs force number many thousands of employes. These are now being "turned out." Collectors and Surveyors of Customs have been appointed at a nu ruber of tOMMISSIOXER M CALMOXT. places already, but there are still a good many tobe looked after. In many of the cases where charges have been made against officers now holding these ositions it has been found necessary to investigate them, to look up the character and espec ial fitness of the applicants for place, and these, with the work of finishing up the year's work.of the most imCortant revenue branch of the Government, eeps Commissioner McCalmont an extremely busy man. The contests growing out of some of these applications for office under the customs bureau are very bitter. Talking of it to your correspondent, a prominent ISouth Carolinian said: "I doubt if the bitterness that has been engendered in our State over the distribution of some of the othces will disapiear in a whole generation. We have never known anything like it. Why, in one case the fight against a man who was a candidate for a iosition was so bitter and so much excited his wife that she became ill and died. It was nothing but the direct result of this light for office and the bitter personal attacks that were made upon hernusband." A busier man, however, than Mr. McCalmont ii the man nearer to the appointing lower, Apiointnient Clerk Iliggins. Ke is the center of a good leal of attention this week. The New York Times, which aspires to run the Cleveland administration, is attacking him bitterly daj' by day, and the light against him is about "as hot as the weather. He takes it good naturedly. however, lie is not esiecially thin-skinned, and has no difficulty in petting his regular amount of sleep, so far as the newspajtcr attacks uion him go. Indeed it seems sometimes as if lie rather enjoved it. He talks smilingly of it. attends strictly to business, and appears to be about as comfortable as any man in Washington. He is a ''terror" to all Oovernmeiit employes, and a sort of jumbo to curiosity seekers. People who go to the Treasury ail want to see Iliggins. His room in the southeast corner of the Trea-mry building is always the center of attention. Thousands who want office are obliged to go there; thousands of others visit him through curiosity. Some of these go boldly in to pay their respects, but the most of them are content with a peep at him through the halt ocn door, looking at him as they would a museum curiosity. He is a worker, and aiust be a person of patience besides. He has from 21 to 4'J visitors every day. They AirOINTMKXT CLEHK niUOINS. begin coming soon after Ü o'clock, and there is a steady stream from that time until 1 o'clock. Then he shuts down and prepares to give his attention to the work of theottiee. Just opposite the Treasury there is a "dairy" where there is milk and biscuits and pie. It is a popular lunch place for the Treasury employes. Thither Mr. Iliggins winds Iiis way after the laborious hours in which lie receives callers, and regales himself with a mug of milk, only a piece of pie or a "Maryland biscuit. Then he lights his cigar, aiid chats for a few moments with some acqaintance. Yesterday he was standing in front of the "dairy" smoking his cigar and chatting with a crowd of newspaer correspondents who had gathered about hint. "I hate to go back to my desk," he said. "I hare had one of the hardest morning's work that I have had since I came here." "How many callers a day do you have, Mr. Iliggins?" was asked. "From 2fX to 400," he answered. "It is a pretty difficult task, I can tell you, to dispose of a hundred callers an hour, especially when many of them come with the idea that they are to have half an hour for their own particular case." "You must have a good many curious cases?" "Yes, a good many, and some that are very interesting. There was a very interesting one a day or two ago. A very attractive young lady came in and waited her turn. When it came I asked her what she desired, and received a written answer. She was a deaf mute. She is employed in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, and desired a transfer to some other position. She wrote a beautiful hand, and was evidently a very bright young woman, unable to speak or hear a sound. Of course I could not give her the transfer she wanted, for that is outside of my duties.". , a Most of Mr. "Iliggins callers state 'their cases to him as he sits at his desk in the center of a rather small room where he icrforms his duties. He listens carefully, cuts the long talkers off when they appear to have stated the main point?, gives

them a prompt answer, and gets rid of th'm. Sometimes the experienced visitor asks for a private audience, and when this is granted Mr. Iliggins takes the privileged person behind a little screen which is stretched across the corner of the room, and there, in very , low toues, the case is goue over. Probably the man who has the biggest contract on his hands, however, is the First Assistant Postmaster Clencral. Mr. A. E. Stevenson. He is fairly installed in his new position, and finds it one of very lalorious duties. There are alout 4-5.000 Postoftice w hich come directly under the hand and eye of the First Assistant Tostmaster General. Only the offices which pay $1,000 a year or more are counted worthy the attention of the President or the Postmaster General. And there are only about 2,000 of these, so that the number of minor otlice3 to which

ASSISTANT P. M. O. 6TEVEXSOjr. the First Assistant must give his attention runs considerably over 45.000. In many of these the contest is just as spirited as in the larger offices which are left to the President and Postmaster General to take care of. The First Assistant has a fine, large room on the second floor of the PostOnire Department, adjoining that of the Postmaster General himself, and there are consultations between them on Kliottv sub ject?. Unth? yoor oi Uli room is posted notice: 'The First Assistant Post mast a ter General will see visitors between the hours of 10 and 12 daily." During the hours his room is crowded with visitors. Most of these are memlters of Congress or others interested in the appointment of small postmasters. Occasionally there are some of the aspirants themselves, but they are comparatively few, for an office which pays but a hundred dollars a year is scarcely " worth a trip to Washington, though it may be considered a subject for a pretty stiff neighborhood contest. Mr. Stevenson has happily a very able assistant in Mr. Fowler his chief clerk", who has been for a quarter of a century in the department, most of his time in this particular work. Often in the absence of the First Assistant. Mr. Fowler is left in chartre of this work. and is therefore very familiar with it, and of great assistance to a new official in assuming this tremendous load of distributing 4.,i0o otiices. Mr. Stevenson has a warm summer before him. Indeed some people suspect that he has a tolerably warm winter in store, too, for of course lie will not have disposed of his 4",0Ü0 offices when Congress reassembles. Kvery Congressman, when the new session begins, wilt come with a long list of Postmasters in his district which he wants displaced for some Democrat. The result will be a ye of very hard work for Mr. Stevenson. Another of Those Intelligent Dogs. Omaha Republican. "This dog." said the Judge, "belonged to a friend of mine, who used always to take him out with him. The dog used to wait outside for him when he went in to call on a friend. One night the' were a very mem party and they kept it up late. My friend got very drunk. The dog finally got restless and began to howl. A champagne bottle thing at him from the -window just passed his nose, and lie smelt it and shut up. About '2 o'clock in the morning my friend came out. He said good-night, shut the door, walked in by the garden gate all over the tlowcr-beds, and finally, unable to get out, he lay down on a rosebush and went to sleep." The dog watched by hinr till the milkman came along in tlie morning, picked hiiuupand took him. home." "That's nothine," said the doctor. ''You just wait a minute. Two or three nights later he went and called on his friend again and took the dog with him. The dog waited outside a little while and began to howl. Another champagne lottle was thrown at him. lie smelt it, winked to him self, and trotted off. He went home, scratched at the door till the servant girl opened it, attracted my friend's wife's attention, made her follow him to a pile of planks, nd whined till they got out a very Ion; and broad one. Then he directed thorn to where his master was, and when the door-bell rang and the door opened, the revelers found the dog. my friend s wife, the servant and a stretcher. The dog knew what was needed, you bet." How Civil Service Reform Works. Eastoa ledger. Tlie cnc of voting Mr. Harley of Queen Anne's County illustrates how civil servic reform works when administered hv Itepub lieans. Mr. Harlev is a Democrat, a fresh college graduate, and a bright young lawyer, who made application to the Civil Service Commission for examination for the jostal service. He made the highest re cord among all who were examined at that time over ninety-six in a lossihle 100. His name was sent four tunes to Mr. Adrcoti, the Postmaster at Baltimore, but every time Mr. Adreon iassed him lv ami ap pointed a Itcpubl ican with a lower exami nation record, and Jlr. Harley was then ruled off tlie list of eligibles because he had been rejected four times! l ortunatelv, Mr, Veasey was able lo correct the injustice that had been done to Mr. Harley. We have not observed that tV civil service journals which come to this office have ever made any commeuts in the case of Mr. Harley. What Made Him Take Iii Feet Down. Chicago Herald. "Charles," said a shar-voiced woman to her husband, do you know that you and 1 once had a romance in a railway car. "Never heard of it," replied Charles in a subdued tone. "I tho.ught vou hadn't, but don't you remember that It was that pair of slipm-rs I presented to you seven years ago last Christmas the Christmas before we were married that led to our union? Ycu remember how nicely they fitted, don't you? Weil, Charles, one day when we were going to a picnic you liad your feet up on a seat, .and when vou wasn't looking I took your meas ure. But for5 that pair of slippers I don't be lieve we'd ever been married. A young, unmarried man sitting near by immediately took ins teet down trom a seat The Administration Indorsed.

It is mere partisan fury to deny to a Presi dent who has done these things, ana who was not lected ujon a declared party iolicy of adhesion to reform, the strongest principle unci me ingiicsi courage. or wm mij sincere friend of administrative reform deny that such Executive action is of the utmost service towards the final overthrow of the odious and un-American sjoils system which deprives the great body of American citizens in not h parties of a free and equal chance to secure a place in the employment of tlie Government. Certainly no voter who sup1Krted Mr. Cleveland because he bclioved dm to be sincerely resolved uion reform has yet had reason to regret his action. " Many of the Paris criminals are better physical specimens than the honest and educated citizens, being larger, stronger and more enduring. They have carefully trained themselves in the ways of iniquity, in which they are helped liy sound health and outdoor exercise.

We often sympathize with a dog when we think of the man who owns him. Orthodoxy on one side of the Pyrenees maybe heresy on the other. Pascal. In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart. Konnets and hats show a bewildering terplexity of styles as the season advances. One tender act. and how many black deSigns, struggling within, you may crush forever. Man's loftiest philosophy lias never yet made tangible a cloud, or stayed the hour of death. It is considered an on year in Britain when one or more of Ellen Terry's husbands does not demise. Helen will probably continue tobe the favorite form of the name. Sheolen is more modern, though. Let us be content to work. To do the things we can, aud not presume To fret because it's little. H. B. Browning, It is pitiful to have dim conceptions of duty; more pitiful to have vulgar and brutal conceptions of enjoyment. Suffering from "suggestion of the brain" is the latest. It takes the place of "talked to death,"' "bored'' and several yawns. Life is what we make it," and when you "make it" hearts, you want to get either a "lone hand" or a very good "pard." "Do they miss me at home?" Why do you ask sueh a silly question; don't you know, dear, it's always plain Jane at home? Life is .aa'rt all around with a zodiac of sciences, tlie contributions of men who have Ierishcdto add their point of light to our sky. A new form of amusement is the "mum sociable," at which every one who speaks within a certain specified time is subject to a tine. Young man, if you think of raising a beard, do not wait until the fall. If your girl is going out of town for the summer begin now. A New York artist, writing of the nude in art, says: "The public on balls and opera nights see greater sights than artists at their studios." Private letters from Taris tell of the disappearance under a cloud of the titled husband of a lady whose family is tirst and foremost in New York. Pestiny is not Alout thee, but within; thyself must make Thyself: the agonizing trios of thought. These bring forth glory, bring forth destiny. A Washington correspondent notes that soft hats are tlie prevailing style with the of-hce-seckcrs at the capital and wonders why. AVell. a man doesn't need a shoe-horn to pull a soft hat on in the morning. "I wonder, uncle," said a little girl, ''if men w ill ever live to be five hundred or a thousand years old?" "No, my child; that was tried once, and the race grew so bad that the world had to be drowned." It is pood to be unselfish and generous, but don't carry that too far. It will not do to give yourself to be melted down for the bench t of the tallow trade; you must know where to find yourself. George Eliot. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch figures that a lady can clothe herself neatly and stylishly for si.'t.W. True this is warm weather, but wouldn't a costume at that figure be rather airy too diaphonous and decolette, as it were? The black is not in itself the mourning color we have learned from the use of white mourning by the Chinese, ytill further light is thrown en the ques.ion by the use in Lincoln, Maine, of blue and orange Collins. The former are used for children and the latter for adults. The queen of England has twenty-two messengers constantly traveling back and forth with precious documents aud her royal behests that can not be intrusted to the telegraph. While she was on the continent two of these messengers were continually skipping back and forth, one being always on the road. Women with small and prettv feet, especially the women of Ciicago and Northwest, w ill rejoice over the present style of very short coulisse skirts; out the St. Louis girls need not despair, for the English women are rejecting this style, and are even trying to introduce the skirt that touches the pavement in the back for street as well as house wear. It is fair to say there are Democrats and Democrats progressives and bourbons. Miss Cleveland's book has brought samples to the front. Her publishers have given to the public many of the comments received by them. From the mass we select two. One reads: "I am glad it has taken the Democratic administration to bring back to the White House a woman of brains." The other is: "Do you doubt that the judgment of Cod is on this country? We have been trying to keep women in their places, and I, for one, voted for Cleveland because he hadn't a wife, but it seems this sister is equal to half a dozen wives in the excitement she can mal No more women Presidents for me. I will vote for a widower without sisters next time. Heaven help the country if women are to rule it. From ihc above it would seem that Democratic party is divided upon the man question as'well as on the tariff. the. woI'ndresslng Artistically. Exchange. I suppose nearly all women have some time or other experienced a sense of the difficulty there is in undressing gracefully. It is more or less of a study. How nicely, how exquisitely, indeed, it-can be done even in public has been illustrated here at the Fifth

Avenue Theater by- Alfa Norman, the new American prima donna. An undressing scene in "Fra Diavolo" she makes the principal one of the opera. Only a beautiful women could do this, and Alfa Norman has one of the most beautiful forms that ever was seen upon the stage. While singing rf her lover she removes the pins from her Italian headdress and the apron, and then she gradually unfastens the laces o her bodice. This comes off and is gracefully folded on the chair at herside. The Warbling proceeds, and the band about her waist is undone, and she steps out of her skirts for all the world like a young girl at her mirror. But this is not all, for there is still a sort of Italian underwaist of white muslin to remove. It takes some time, for there are buttons and lacing to it without end. The audience hold their breath until it conies off, but it reveals shoulders and arms that would make the glory of any woman. By the time this is done "Zerliiia"'

Yet, withal, there is much less displayed than one sees in any ballroom. It'a Pleattant to Try, Anyhow. Kissing is said to be a very good thing to make a girl's lips red. A kiss has some times been known to make a girl's lips red' way up to the roof of her forehead, when her mother came into the parlor unexpectedly just as the kisser and' kissee were coming" under the wire. WALES' NAME SMIRCHED. Rumor Implicates tlie Prince in the Kevela tlon Made by the Gazette. Szvr York. July 11. The World's London cablegram this moruing is as follows: The origin ot the Pall Mall Gazette's articles was in the arrest of a woman known as "Mmc. Jeffr'es" for the aixluetion of a young girl from Holland. She occupied one of the handsomest residences in I'iccadilly, but is understood to have owned anl used for her purposes some twenty other houses in various parts of London. Iu" her resident' the police k-:wu a im mix: r oi innre ana nanamoiv bound volumes, in which she kept regular debit snd credit accounts oi her business. The entries embraced hundreds of names from the most exclusive circles in London, and anions them were those of mjveral well-known New Yorkers who visit this city nearly every year. It is whispered that the original establishment was foUnned through the direct patronage of the Prince of Wales, and tne allusion in tbe C-azctte's editorial yesterday afternoon: '"Let thote who do not wish to shake the very foundation of social order think twice before compelling: us to confront in court brothel-keepers with princes of the blood and prominent public men with victims of their lawless vice," gives a foundation for this rumor. The woman exercised the utmost care to secure the custom of only men of the highest rank or social osition. No one could enter except as introduced by ft person well known to her. It is said the would kwhw through her agents in various parts of Oreat Britain aud tlie contiuent and ttc apparently had manv agents young girls thirteen or fourteen years old. of lowly parentage, briiur them to Ixndon. and put them iu charge of the best masters, not only in literature but also in general deportment. They were never allowed to go ujwn the streets except uuder the ehanre of a governess or maid, and when duly educated and refined they would be introduced to her establishment. If a rich patron happened to know of or hear of some girl of the lower orders in whose betrayal he did not wish to be known, the woman would send an agent, generally a female, to her, and by deception ur perbiiasion, ouly too often managed to secure her as " a victim. Her books show f-he Mas the intermedium as well for many women of good and even the highest social position. The exposure in this respect furnishes a shocking commentary upon the condition of morals in the '-better circles'' of the metropolis. The entries in her books go to show that she kept regular ac-ouut with some of her male patrons, the amounts charged in some instances reaching thousands of pounds. Some of the entries show that she would temporarily rent one of her houses to such a patron, with the furniture servants, and a skilled cook an elegant and complete entourage, in fact. No money was paid by any patron directly. She would render her aeeouut to him at regular. intervals, and he would t.-ud the amount due by a messenger. WON HER HEART. An Accomplished Girl Klopes With a Kailroad Hand. Lock Haves, Pa., July 11. During the construction of the Beech Creek, ClcartieU and Southwestern Railroad, a branch of the Yanderbilt system, two Italians worked in a construction gang" rtt Warne who were of a better das than the average, and, being good scholars in their native tongue, were desirous of exchanging their knowledge for a like accomplishment iu English. Living at Wayue was the daughter of A. S. Stabley a well-to-do merchant and Postmaster of the village. No pains or money had been spared tilou this young lady's education, and at the age of twenty-two she was a bright, pretty girl of many accomplishments. To her the ambitious Italians went and a mutual exchange of knowledge was agreed upon. The railroad was liDished and the Italians took their leave. Miss Stabley afterward received letters from one of the Italians, but this course was not thought irregular by her parents, aud no heed wns taken of the future until last week, when Miss stabley came to Lock Haven ostensibly to attend the Normal School Commencement, but as she did not return that night her father came here, and, on investigation, discovered that she bought a ticket at the Pennsylvania station for Xcwark. N. J., and had her satchel and other baggage which she had smuggled away from home cheeked for the same place. To-dav a letter was received by the parents telling of their daughter's marriage to the Italian at Newark. SELF-DESTRUCTIOr. A Young Man Kills Himself at the House oC Ills Heloved. Fowi.eb. lud., Jul-11. The death of Charles I Ieen by his own hand near Templetou, this county, this morning, is the final and tragic ending of an affair that has excited the comment of our people for the past three days. Pecn, who came from Louisville, and was visiting his cousin.

The remains were Tlie Atchison Mystery. Atchison, Kan., July 11. Exciteineut over the murder of Miss May Baldwin grows more intense as time passes. The mother of the murdered girl returned from Ohio last night at 11 o'clock, aud. although greatly thocked by the news of her daughter's fate, consented to an examination, which lasted until 1 o'clock this morning. The lurv continued in session till 3 o'clock this morning" when thev adjourned until to-morrow. It is now certain that roblery was not the intention of the murderer. It is supposed he cut out the panels of one of the doors and rifled the bureau drawers to disarm suspicion. The jury sat with closed doors, hence it is diflicult to gather news of their session. It is certain, however, that information has been elicited which points stronglv to an individual who can not uow be named," but ujon whom the public have singularly settled as the criminal. It may !e only a suspicion, but there are sonic strong reasons for it. The victim was buried to-day, the funeral services being held at the residence and attended by great crowd. The prisoners at the County Jail were terribly frightened last night hv-a crowd that gathered in front of the buil.htii tiin a rumor that an arrest had leeu made. The jury are making a most thorough examination, and a verdict may hot be reached for several days. Look after your wife; never lniul yourself, she'll look alter you. Southern Antidote for Malaria.
