American Girls Abroad.
It is doubtful whether any country in
the -world produces so many pretty girls
as America, and it is certain that some
of the prettiest in the "world are Ameri
cans. The fact is as indisputable as the
causes of it are obscure. It vras one of
the peculiarities of Venus, as a goddess,
that there could be no doubt -whatever
about her beauty. There -was a great
deal to bo said for Juno, as she swept
along with that stately peacock trailing
its tail on the sward, and it was impos
sible to deny the attractions of Minerva,
still the moment Venus came into the
field, Paris held out his hand and put the
apple in hers. So it is with the pocket
edition of the goddess, which the busy
city of Bunkum and Shoddy publishes
in wholesale quantities. The little New
York beauty is irresistible so long as she
keeps her mouth shut, and almost irre
sistible even when she opens it Every
thing seems to be against her. "Give
me blood," said the aristocratic, pre-emi
se&tly camiverous old lady who met
young David Copperfield and asked him
whether ho went much into society,
"give me blood; there's nothing like
blood." ilost people would agree, in a
limited sense. We know the beauty of
our aristocracy and attribute it largely to
high birth and good breeding. We
know the dignity and bearing of an
Austrian lady, and the commonplace
comeliness of a little German parvenue.
We have our pet theories, ready cut out
and dried, and can apply thim to every
case. Tho lion, and the unicorn are
fighting for this crown of beauty, and
p comes the little Yankeebelle and
VnyVg them both down. The impartial
Faris (in a suit of dittos), standing with
his hands in his pockets on the Rhine
boat, and not paving tbe slightest atten
tion to the scenery, but looking at the
pretty girls of all the countries in the
world, singles out the New York Venus
in a moment He has not a doubt but
he is right, and she thinks that he's an
excellent ludce.
And yet, as we've said, everything is
against her. She comes to us across the
Atlantic with that horrible twang that
spoils everything, and of which she
stems utterly unconscious. She perks
it up in jour face with the most provok
ing sang froid, and so do her sisters, her
cousins and her aunts. Her mother ac
companies her, and a hatchet-face, ob
jectionable brother, who seems to have
the grace to know that he is not a gen
tleman, and is, in consequence, alter
natelv depressed ana defiant. A man,
however matrimonslly inclined, gating
on that alpaca n: other finds serious
courtship a difScultv. A little genial
iirtation is, however, delightful, and ic
is impossible to withstand so much
beauty set off by such a charm of man
ner. The little American does not
object to the flirtation, but she
has a frugal mind, and knows the
kind of lover who is likely to de
velop into a husband. Yet with all
her frugality, she has a mind on pleasure
bent and. flirting, which in England is a
practice and inJcrance an occupation, is
for her a sciese? which she studies con
scientiously and in which she makes
oaily progress, 2abe is still young, per
haps not out of iter teens, but she has
heard a great daal ikaowa a great deal,
and certainly zaajStae secret of her ex
perience. Sh e" Imperfectly frank and
her absolute realism protects her from
some of the bad effects which flirtation
produces in English girls. It is hard to
avoid admiring her, and it is impossible
to believe that the lady in alpaca is her
jaother. The hatchet-faced brother seems
to smoke so much of his life out through
his nostnlB as he has not already ex
pectorated through his lips.
The English critic, admiring freely
this unparalleled beauty, begins to think
whether it can last Well, let it be con
fessed that the aspect of an American
Bother is not encouraging. One won
ders whether she could ever have been
pretty, ladylike or attractive. One looks
froa mother to daughter with a puzzled
anxiety. Surely all the American fath
ers must have been very handsome.
And yet 'those citizens of New York
who do come over the Atlantic are, no
doubt excellent men of business, but
have very little in common with Apollo
or AatinoBS. Perhaps, after all, the
English girls are not so bad. Possibly
they may not be such gawkies as they are
said to look. If they are, one fact is at
least clear, they soon grow out of it
American beauty has some consolation
even for a jealous English critic He
aast admire it He cannot deny it
It is sot a matter to argue about or to
dispute. The little .New York parvenue,
with an ancestry that throve on shoddy,
and a parentage that grew rich on pe
trol earn, has, notwithstanding these an
tecedents, a beauty that is at once capti
vating and refined. And yet there is
coBsoktion for the English girl. "I had
scarcely taken orders for a year," says
the dear, delightful Vicar of Wakefield,
"before I began to think seriously 01
matrimony, and choose ray wife, as she
did her wedding dress, not for a fine
glossy sarface, but for such qualities as
would wear welL" When we look at
the New York beauty, brilliant in silk,
and then turn to the faded, worn-out
Bother, dingy in alpaca, we may feel
perfectly certain that Dr. Primrose
would not have crossed the Atlantic for
hie bride. Losdon Mayfain
Keeping the Head Clean.'
The following buggestion is worth
heeding. A distinguished physician
who had spent Bach time at quarantine,
said that a person whose head was thor
oughly washed every day, rarely took
contagious diseases; but where the hair
was allowed to become matted, it was
hardly impossible to escape infection.
Many persons find speedy relief for ner
vous headache by washing the hair in
weak soda water. I have known severe
cases almost wholly cured in tea minutes
by this simple remedy. A friend finds
it tbe greatest relief in cases of "rare
eoH," the cold symptoms entirely leav
ing the eyes and nose after one thorough
washing of the hair. The head sheuld
he thoroughly dried afterward and avoid
draaghis of air for a little while.
Catherine of Russia.
Catherine II. was 33 when she usurp
ed tho throne- of Russia. She had then
ost all the grace of figure which in ear
lier days had been her chief attraction.
Rather below the. middle height, her em
bonpoint is described as already indicate
ing tho excessive obesity of her laUr
years. Her face was large, her eyrs
prominent, her eyebrows strongly mark
ed. Sho had a well-forued mouth, a
heavy double chin, and vice and crime
had imparted a hardness and enrontery
to her features and their expression, to
which tho man's dress nnd cap she so
frequently wore gave a still more mas
culine air. Everv court in Euroiw was
well aware by what infamous means she
had become Empress of Russia, yet none
hesitated to acknowledge her, some even
rejoiced at her accession. But to the
surprise and disappointment of Marie
Theresa, she confirmed the peace that
Peter had concluded with rredenck II.,
and ordered the Russian troops to evac
uate Prussia, In the same spirit, too,
she evinced disdain and aversion to
wards tho Court of Versailles. She
assured the Kins of Denmark that
she would not make war upon him
but none the less sent Prince George of
Holstein to command in the Duchy on
the part of Russia, while in order to
wrest Courland from Poland she sent
troops to reinstate Biren there. Fred
erick IL sent her the order ot the iilaclc
Eajrle, which she wore in public, thus re
peating another of Peter s alleged crimes
The five ruffian brothers Orion" she
raised to the rant ol L-ount. Un iier
favorite, Gregoire, he bestowed the
further honor of the order of St Alex
ander 2icwsky, and gave him the im
portant command of Lacutenant4.enenu
of the Russian armies, io others who
had assisted to enthrone her and to as
sassinate her husband, she gave vast es
tates, with their due proportion of serfs.
Owing to the reckless extravagance of
Elizabeth, the wholesale appropriation
of public money by her Ministers and
tbe disorder in the hnanaai arrange
ments of the short reign of Peter IIL,
the treasury was pretty nearly empty ;
so that beer and hrandr were the only
rewards bestowed on the soldiers, except
here and there some promotions. To
ward the friends and partisans of the
late Emperor she affected much leniency.
To ret nd of the aged Munich
she sent him as Governor to Livo
nia, where he died at the age
of 85. Ghudowitsch she imprisoned,
but soon after released him and offered
him a command: but he declined her
favor and retired to his estates. The
Countess Wbrondofl was ordered to re
side at the distance of 1,000 versta be
yond Moscow. It was at this time that
the Princess DaschkoST solicited the
colonelcy of the Preobxginsky Guards.
Catherine refused and with some ironical
remarks that roused the an per of the
Princess. Still more was she exasper
ated on the discovery of the intrigue be
tween Orion and the Empress. ith
her natural impetuosity she sought her
dear fnend and overwhelmed her with
cutting reproaches. She revealed Cath
erine's secret to those who had favored
her elevation to the throne, and manv
were indignant when they found that
they had been working at and further-
ing plots for the advancement of a brutal
frequenter of the casernes and cabarets.
Catherine forbade the Princess to appear
at court, and compelled her to reside
with her husband's family at Moscow.

The
of Carelessness.
How often do we hear as an excuse
for some harm done or harm committed,
'1 did not mean to do it I had no
thought of causing any such trouble."
Certainly, "want of thought" draws after
it a great train of evils, and leaves be
hind it a broaa trail of cost and sorrow.
We see the results of carelessness in all
departments of life, and in all degrees,
from the most trivial, causing only in
convenience and confusion, in the most
far-reaching, casting a shadow into eter
nity. A nurse fell down the stairs with an
infant in her arms, and fifty years after
ward there was a hump-backed man
creeping about tho streets. A child
threw a piece of lemon-peel on the side
walk, and there was an accident an hour
after, in which an old lady was severely
injured, so severely that she will never
be able to walk again. A switch-tender
opened the wrong switch, and the heavy
train dashed into a great building that
stood at tbe end of the short side-track,
and lives were lost amid the wreck. An
operator gave a careless touch to his in
strument, and there was a terrible col
lision on the raiL A boy shot an arrow
from his bow ; it went whizzing away
from the string, and a comrade is blind
for the rest of his life. A woman
poured oil from a can into her stove to
hasten her fire, and there wan an explo
sion, and an outburst of flame, which
burned down the building about her. A
young man win ted a gun, in sport, at
his best friend, playfully saying that he
would shoot him ; and one noble youth
was carried to his grave, and another
goes through life with an awful shadow
of memory hanging over him, which
quenches all his joy, and makes all life
dark to him. A druggist's clerk com
pounded the prescription in haste, and
in an hour a sick girl was dying in ter
rible pain and cohvhImoiis, from the
poison in the proscription. A beautiful
young lady danced at a party one chill
midnight and then raised a window in a
side room to let the fresh air fan her hot
cheeks ; and in a little while they fol
lowed her to an untimely grave. What
long chapters of accidents are every year
recorded, all of which result from care
lessness I A little careful thought on
tbe part of the responsible pemns would
hare prevented all of them, with their
attendant horrors and their long train of
raftering and sorrow. S. S. Times.
Whittier writes to a Salt Lake kdy,

The Ciolsbeo.
Girls were brought out of tho cloister
in which they had been educated only to
Ins married to men whom they had never
before seen, and who were almost always
very much their seniors. Quite a mat
ter of course was it, also, and quite in
evitable, that relief from the miser' of
such marriages fJiouM have been sought
in tho universal prevalence of the insti
tution known as "ciciaWiatn.' Ever
lady had her "cicisbeo." It would have
been both ridiculous and disgraceful to
be without one. The natno of the per
son agreed upon bv the husband pre
viously to his marriage, as one whom he
should not object to see in this relation
ship to his future wife, was frequently
mentioned in the niarriage settlement
It was disgraceful in a lady not to be
faithful in her affections to her "dcis-
beo." But tho service cxiect.d from a
person thus honored was not a little rig
orous. Ho was always to attend the
lady's levee. He was to bi ing her the
news of the city for the day. He
was to keep her servant in good order.
He was to attend her every morning to
to mass; to lift tho heavy curtain that
hangs inside the doors of the churches
for her pass; to dip his fingers in the
holy water, and present the sanctifying
drop to her on the tips of them; to
place a chair for her on the marble pave
ment; to hand her her prayer book; to
wait holding her fan, her essence bottle,
or what not, till sho had finished her de
votions, then to receive her prayer look,
holy water and curtains, as lefore, and
then to give her his arm to her palace.
He must never fail to accompany her to
whatever place of amusement or rty
she might attend in the evening. The
position of "acislon to a devout and
fashionable lady and all the ladies were
devout and almost all of them were fash
ionable was, it will be observed, by no
means a sinecure. The laws ot Milan
ese society, however, alsolutely re
quired that every gentleman who
had any pretension of belonging
to it should be the faithful and devoted
servant ot some lady any lady save his
own wife. And it would have been
equally ridiculous in a man to be with
out any such mistress as for a woman to
be unfurnished with a "cidsln." Much
has ln .aid about the de-rw of inao- i
cence which are compatible with the ex !
istence of these ties and the decrees of
guiltiness which they mutt be held to
have involved. Barctti, among others,
who was so well known once upon a
time in the London world, and whose
book ujon tbe Italians was once widely
read, tries hard to ahow that in Milan
these usages, for the moat tart, led to
no results of the kind which
are ordinarily stigmatized as guilt.
It is impossTUe rather than dif
ficult to believe that such could be the
truth in the great majority of cases, but
it is very possible that in some it may
have been as he hn represented. But
nonetheless perhaps even all the more
was the system a demoralizing and a
decradinp one: none the leas were the
women prevented from discharging the

their days in a round of frivolity, frib- j
bledom and idleness, utterly emasculat

terly destructive of all civic worth and
of every sentiment of moral dignity;
none the less was all domestic happiness,

These medieval revolutionists (as
printers) undoubtedly originated a great
variety of industries which employ a
vast number of brains and bands. Au
thors, publishers and critics, machine
makers, printers, compositor?, "readers,"
newspaper boys, etc, are indebted to
them for their daily bread. But wo
cannot withhold a tribute of regret to
one occupation which they cut up root
and branch. We refer to those pious
and painstaking artists who made a labor
of love of the transcription and illumin
ation of the sacred manuscripts and mis
sals ; who carried the freshness of the
fields, the bloom of the wild flowers, the
plumage of the birds, and the tints of
the insect, into the grim seclusion of
their cloistered cells.
One of the fraternity was the Do
minican De Voraigne, the original com
piler of the "Golden Legend," ono of
the storira in which has been so grace
fully modernized by Longfellow. Oar
readers will remember how the humble
peasant maiden offers her life for the re
demption of that ot Henry of Hoheneck.
And none of the truthful pictures in
the legend are moro fascinating than
that of the venerable Father Pacificus.
"Wo see him, like tho saintly Fra
Angelico, preparing himself prayerfully
for his task, and reverently transcribing
tho words of the evangelist in simple
awe of the terrible curse on the man
who should take aught from the book of
firopbecy by dropping out a lino or a
etter. We picture the worthy monk
over his blazonry, distracted between his
pride in the tail of his peacock and his
penitence for his wordly self satisfaction.

An Unnatural Request.
A French lady recently applied at
Guy's Hospital, in London, saying that
a young woman, a relative of hers, was
entitled to inherit some property if mar
ried; but, being single, there was a
prospect of her losing it. As no suit
able husband necmed likely to appear,
she was desirous of finding some dying
man, of what position it mattered not,
to whom .she might lie formally married,
and so obtain the projxrty, while at tho
same time tho link might be slender and
soon broken. This they had not been
able to manage in France, and they had

they hoped for success. Tho steward was

love of fun in the American creed, a

as long as the supply is entrusted to
eight separate authorities. As the gov

necessary to purchase the interests of
the companies, the purchavs money is
not likely to exceed 8100,000,000.
