0, DGAXE, PaMUhar. JASW5K, - - INDIANA. Agreeable Wewen. Why is it that pretty women m Spoken of as if they, of h11 others, were t ho elect ? Tho term is merely conventional, for she who is Interesting from whatever cause is generally "called pretty " by hut masculine friends, though her fuuiiniiio ones are not so ready to accord bur tin title. She who has graceful manners, or style in dress, or cordial, bright ways, is freqticntlv termed pretty, though both face ami figure may lw very ordinary. A renhV plain woman .who has a talent for conversation, style 'hi dress, tact, and quick sympathies, will prove a very formidable rival to a woman who can ImhiM of only a beautiful complexion ami reirular features. A woman niut possess sotueuimg more, man merciy a beautiful face in order to charm her admirers for any length of time. The first favorable bupropion she makes may be entirely spoiled by a loud voice or a coarse laugh, or manners which are not agreeable. It is extremely difficult to ,ay what is thereat criterion of beauty in women. In the Sandwich Island only a very fat woman is considered lioautiful; the Chinese admire deformed feet and black teeth. A woman inut wear a ring in her nose and be lattued sky hlne in order to win the admiration of a South Sea Islander; and African Princes in.-kt upon having the teeth of their brides tiled like those of a saw. Tims it will . . i i. be seen that nil men .same opinion as to l i what constitutes 1 . beauty in women, .Most girls possess personal attractions in a sullleient degree to render them agreeable to somiiliody. The same face does not wear the same aspect to every beholder. The eye of love will discover attraction which would surely escape the eye of the casual and indifferent observer. It is well it is so, or there would be no matrimonial chancer for the hopelessly ugly girls. Tlwy depend ujmmi their powers" of being agreeable, and if cultivated in the right way this jwwer will lw of more ue to them than any other. There is jreat partiality shown in the cultivation of the head over the heart, llttt the culture of the latter should lie real. The counterfeit will never pass mti'ter. She wlw truly studies to promote the happiness o"f thoso with whom she is associated, will never lack admirers. A woman who tlcMres to pleae must endeavor to lie pleased. She must show no consciousness of self, no desire to make an impression In any way. The social talents of others must delight her the exclusion of anv delight in her own. "That fs the most agreeable woman I ever met," said an old gentleman to me one evening, as he left tlie side of a tall, slender, pale woman, with nondescript features. I smiled, having noticed that the agreeable woman' had not spoken except in monosyllables. Her charm for him lay in being able to listen well and he hived to talk. She understood the art. of being agreeable, and cultivat eu it, since she had neither stvlo. heauty ttor The woman wIm indulges in sarcasm, or finds pleasure in saying hateful t hing.s, is never spoken of as agreeable. Her iiueer, aimed perhaps at some defeet in person or same .sacred opinion tire worse than blows. The bright, hari witticism may cause the laughter of the theughlle-s hearers, but to the Person at whom it is leveled it is like n red hot needle piercing the soul. Xo soul stands out without digtiiw. There, is always a veil letween it and those who would fain pierce its mysteries:. The- face is expressive, it" is true. It lictrays the emotions of the heart. Yet often it islmt a mask to conceal the true character of the owner. "We read in history of men and women famed for their heauty of face and their badness of lieart; aad we frequently meet cruel, heartless women with all tin1 graces and apparent innocence of a young girl whose life has been all ptirity and peac .Much luiH been written by talented "writers on beatitv of feature vs. Iniautv of diameter; Wt no one is the wofso ourselves agreeable. .Vloral'heatitvis the only kind that Is 1nr.i,l. ti,t it .. iA,r ltf., r. mains in the anil.

That American official atatWie are wot much eteewu by experta in uch matters hi due in part to the sloveuliikm with which they are too frequently conMNled. and hi mrt to the belief i that they are often prepared for party, ' purooF, ami o represent what joiuha! managers would like to have people believe is the truth rather than what is , tho truth. When we reflect that the head of the Treasury Department has within a few years completely boxed the Compaq on tho linancial question, that it is not so very long since he ad- , i milled hi" inability lo understand the difference between a tariff for protection and i tariff for revenue, and that ' he is one of the least scrupulous of , parly managers bent on working up his , own Presidential candidacy, we need not be surprised to lind him arguing I in efleet that it is not the consumer' but the importer or manufacturer who ; pays customs duties and internal revenue taxes, and insisting that the po-' lit leal influence of American citizens I should be measured en a sliding scale 1 : :tdjutcd to their greater or h -ss prox-! ' imity to a seaport town or a wlil-ky i dMfllorv. We are not much surpried ' even to lind the Republican camI palgn managers Hooding the country with statistics" to show; that the Republicans, pay all tho ' taxes of the eoiuitrv and monopolize all it Intelligence ami virtue. This is to , be expected when we consider that ; these precious compilations are pre- ' pared at the expense of the Democratic ' tax-payers under the direction of a ( Republican Secretary. That the New ; Yoik Tribune should affect to believe , ; this boh Is a matter of cotir.-e; that the , i Chicago Tribune .should pretend to as att it I men t lfcltl4a It ifllfiflfl tlttt signs of dhiut ' would once have been surprising If there h a decent demand for literature of this .sort, if St really confirm men who jias-j for intelligent I'cpublieans in their faith and attracts men considered to be independent and thoughtful t the Republican standard, what must not be the mental condition of the ignorant Democrats who now form a large majority of our adult male population! If, however, our Republican friends are in earnest in ibis matter, if their figures are correct and their argument is logical, they cannot object to examining in detail the latest figures which their oflieials have made public concerning the revenue. Taking the customs and internal revenue figures for the several States for the fiscal year ending dune ."0, 1879, we have thu following showing: CikOhii" collect Ions tn t tee States tbut went Demucratle Hi National i-lcctlmi ?l,fkV).Sl 13 Internal revenue collect iom in the sawe Soma.... .V,f.v:'.t w Tittnl Di'toocrMtiecotttritHitloato nnenne.....

In making up this statement we have given the Republicans the advantage of all the Territories and of the major portion of the receipts from sources not classified. It is of course somewhat to the disadvantage of the Democratic snowing mat m me great, uisiiumg States, like Ohio and Illinois, the Republicans, despite their temperance professions, have the greater following, nevertheless the totals are by no means unsatisfactory, as they show that if there is anything in the arguments of the Kcublican campaign statisticians, tho Democratic States pay into the National Treasury sixty-three and onethird percent, of the country's revenues, leaving the Republican States to furnish thirty-si.V ami two-thirds per cent. It inay'bc that we have not justly apprehended the character and force of the Republican argument, but it seems to us that if there is anything in it at all the conclusion is irresistible that the Democrats have tint only a considerable majority of the voters, but also a great majority of the tax-payers. Jf there is nothing in the argument, why do the Republican statisticians prepare it and the Republican journals loudly or tacitly approve it? In point of fact we do not clearly see how tho Republicans can sustain their srgtunent at any Kiiit.

Justice Miller of the Supreme CMirt of the United State has jeu reganled as a mm of stolid disHMkion. Since he ascended tho Hench the highest bench that ever man sat on he htui Iono the bidding of his jmrty as thoroughly, as regularly, and as unbhtsk ingly as any party slave working in any i other capacity, llow Imj sat between the two worthies (Uradley ami Strong) on tho Electoral Connnis'ion ami, without a tinge on his check, voted every ( time a"aint looklnjr at the evklcwce. or in any other manner disturbing the electoral fraud, we need remind no one. X . . w IMr. Justice Miller has made for himself a character in the judicial nnnab of our time Which needs no imrtravsl except , tint wtitnii n. Uurvav sft ff.r . muiscu irom ine reports, lie was naturallv and always, we may sav, an "8 to 7" mana stanch and inner partisan: wholly unable in the plainest case to clear his mind of partisan bias. Mr. Justice Miller has gone on thus these many years, doing his duty by his party and taking his law from the caucus, without seeming to regard in the least the just and f-erere criticism excited by bis conduct. Rut the Sun's report of one of his queer confessions

anncar.s to have touched h m mi a raw spot, and he has rushed into an explanation which is worse than the confession. He admitted at Block Island that lr. Tilden was elected, and Ilayes defeated, by the vote of Louisiana "that is," in his own language, "hehad eight or ten thousand more actual votes than President Haves." This is a thing which it would lie difficult to di.iiv aniJ Mr TiKsti Mil W contrary, in an interview, wherein Mr. Justice Miller speaks by the mouth of a I none delica fact.

Rut unfortunately it was not thought of then. It was ig-, norantly supposed that the Returning Roard was to count the votes not arbitrarily, but honestly and 1 according to" law.

Xot a vote was proved to be illegally in the boxes, and not a vote was legally thrown out. Rut. then, according to" Mr. Justice Miller, this made no difference at all; the election was a mere ceremony of no legal consequence whatever, and Wells, Anderson, Casenave and Kenncr were the real jmrtics appointed by the hegislatnro to name tho electors of Louisiana. Rut we wouhl ask Mr. Justice Miller two questions, and, if to answer them seems inconsistent with his judicial dignity, he can probably get his friend to speak for him another time: What statute of Louisiana made the retuniing Roard, not a returning but an appointing board? And if any statute conferred the power, would not the corrupt exercise of the power be wholly void? He will no doubt concede that a deci slon of the Supreme Court of the United States, known to be procured by the payment of money to the Judges, wouhl be of no force or effect. Ar. JT. Sun. i.n.

KeuoiCHn party in uaitiornia, are lull e reigns ail jwnde with even mirk of distinction usually accorded to royalty, No other American wwever o honored Injfore, and few others would have deemed it in irood taste to accent sueh receptKms hint they becH offered. Ia marked contrast was the unostentatious journey of the Eit))eror of Brazil through theUniled State. The peotde wouhl gladly have done honor to one go worthy of esteem, but with beconnng grace ana uigmty ne uecnneu very ofler of a public reception. Not so with Cithcen Grant, n ith the same avaricious propensities and vain love of sovereigns of Europe saw in him a man who had already served the terra limited by custom as President of the United States, and in whose behalf an effort was to be made to secure a continuance of power. They realized that a large proportion of the adherents of a great political party in the United States were in favor of a strong centralised Government with Grant at the head. They knew also that among the wealthier class of American citizons there were many who were ready to applaud to the echo the sentiment expressed by a uoted banker of New York, Oh, for Grant and an Empire." This, added to his renown as a military chieftain, inspired the monarchs of Europe with a scemtn": respect for the man, ana they found it convenient to honor him . "vi- , i . . , as ihu posiuie ruier inruuu wikwsjbatruraentality the American Republic could be destroyed. His adherents on this side of the water have performed : their nart of the work zealously aad with diligence. They hare spread broadcast over the land reports of the brilliant reception of their chief at the various courts of Europe, and in the same newspapers have published gross misstatements concerning the people of the South, in order to stir up sectional hate and to show the necessity of having a strong and powerful Federal Government. The representatives of the party in Congress, true to the teachings of Grantism in its palmiest days, have strenuously resisted every attempt of the majority to rejieal laws well calculated to establish a military despotism, and have relied upon the veto power of a fraudulently chosen President to defeat the will of the people. Then, When the traveler returns to the country whose people are still suffering from the effects of his eight years of mis-rule, w:e are told that A'merica must not be outdone by foreign countries in showing honor to the "greatest living American." A reception similar to that he received ia Europe is accorded him, and in the same issue with their reports of the affair. Republican organs in various arts of tho country proclaim that Ulysses S.
