BLACK-EYED BEAUTIES.
How "Women of The IVcit Indies Com
pare With our Belles.
The upper classes are either Span
ish, or Creoles, or "Sambos." The
former are those who come from
Spain naturalized citizens we call
them in North America ; the second
aro natives of the island, of Spanish
blood, more or less mixed: the third
are remnants of the negro race. A
Spaniard can marry a "Sambo," as
all who havo negro blood in their
veins are seriously called, without
losing caste. The" male ' 'Sambos"
often find wives among the Creoles,
but, seldom among the Spaniards.
Some of the best -families in Cuba, as
well as Porto Itico, have "Sambo"
blood in them. The President of
Venezuela is a "Sambo," as the Presi
dent of Mexico is an Indian.
There are many pretty girls to be
seen among the lower classes moro
in Porto Rice than in Cuba bright
eyed, jolly, sylph-like beings; as
graceful and supple as a panther,
timid and modest, but with all the
coquettish graces that budding wo
manhood is .endowed with and al
ways has been in all ages and in all
latitudes. None of them can read,
none of them ever saw the inside of
a school house and do not know' of the
existence of books ; they call you an
"Americano," but have as little idea
of where an American came from as
of the composition of the stars ; they
reply "So Scnor" to every tiling you
say to them and modestly droop their
long, black lashes over such eyes as
is supposed were the ruin of Antony
and were worn
By that dark queen for whoso merosmilo
A world was battered.
These girls these Maud Mullers of
the tropics are beautiful have an
animal beauty that calls for admira
tion that is genuine and makes them
victims of the lust of men and the
poverty or avarice of their parents.
A gentleman here tells me that he
went into the cottage of a Sambo wo
man in the country one day with a
party of ladies and gentlemen to seek
shelter from the rain, and, seeing
there a beautiful quadroon girl re
marked upon her attractions in the
mother's hearing.
"She is beautiful," replied the
mother, "and Senor Don So and So
only last month paid me $150 for her
more than any girl in this village
ever got. 1 bought two mules and
five goats with the money."
The belles of the upper classes,
those whose languishing eyes and
rich bloom have been the topics
of so much literature in prose and
verse, may be beautiful and natural,
but with what they choose to consider
artificial adornment they are not.
Their eyes are wondrous black and
bewitchingandtobeable to use them
effectively is a matter of education.
It is said that Cuban women and by
that 1 mean the whole West Indies
can throw more expression into the
glance of an eye than any in exis
tence, but the people who say it have
probably flirted with them or seen the
glowing of a heart in love. To me their
eyes all look alike beautifully black,
sensuously languishing and generally
indicative ol a Dau temper, but other
wise expressionless. They haven't
half the expression of the eyes of a
thoroughbred horse or dog and are
simply evidences of passion, not of
intelligence.
And with the eyes, ends tho Cuban
w man's beauty. She would spoil
them if she could, but as she can't
she daubs the plaster on her face all
the thicker. The chemists here sell
a sort of paste made of powdered egg
shells, which the women paint then
faces with until they have the ap
pearance of plaster "images. They
take the stuff with tltcm in the cars,
to church and to the opera and when
they think nobody is looking give
their faces a daub. There cannot
exist in the mind of -any one of them
a supposition that this plaster of Paris
complexion deceives people, but why
they think chalk is beauiif ul is a mys
tery. The neck and ears of a "West
India belle arc about ten shades dark
er than her nose and checks. Their
mouths are usually large, their lip3
thicker than is consistent with classic
rules, but their teeth aro usually
white, even, pretty, and well pre
served. Although they make sweet
meats, or "dulces," a great part of
their diet for breakfast, as well as
dinner, you seldom see a woman or a
man without good teeth. But the
most disagreeable thing about a
Cuban woman is her voice. That low,
sweet musical tone wh'ch is told
about as one of the attractions of
Turkish beauties is not lieard here,
nor is the bold accent of the Enclish
girl noticed anywhere in the "West
Indies. Tho voice of the most refined
Irxly is usually as harsh and rasping
as the cry of a parrot and she always
talks very loud and in a high key.
They mature early and fade early
these tropical women. They either
dry up and wither, or else become very
obese. There are- no beautiful old
ladies to be seen, as in all parts of the
United States.
One of the professors at the TJnivcr
eity of Texas is one of the most absent-minded
men in the State. Not
long since a gentleman, who was
only slightly acquainted with him,
tsked him :
"Professor, are you married?"
The Professor "was absorbed in
'l.oujht for a few moments and then
t-l-i ,1 :
' , I think so, if I am not mis
.ken."
Goobers in School
Parents are sometimes very un
reasonable in regard to fancied griev
ances imposed upon their children
bv school-teachers. An instance in
point lately occurred at Pottsville,
Pennsylvania, where six scholars
wore expelled from a public school
for eating peanuts during school
hours, and their parents propose to
test the matter in the courts.
It strikes us that the parents had
better let the matter drop, providing,
of course, the children had fair warn
ing as was probably the case that
if they persisted in munching the
succulent "goober," to the annoy
ance of the nervous teacher and non
eating pupils, they would have to
promptly leave the halls of learning.
Pcanutsare all right in their place on
a train, where tlfe rattle of the cars
drowns the noise made in cracking
the shells; at town-meetings, where
they act as a sort of moderator and
preVent much useless talk; by the
fireside, where the shucks make ex
cellent kindling, and under some
other conditions not necessary to
state; but the line should crtainly
be drawn at schools and churches,
although, perhaps, if a man is in
clined to go to " sleep under prosy
preaching he might take a few with
him, already shucked, just to keep
himself awake, if he don't chew
tobacco. Of course he would natur
ally be very careful'not to work his
jaws so industriously as to attract at
tention, but just enough to get away
with a dozen or so peanuts from text
to benediction. Most anybody can
keep awake easily enough during the
preliminary exercises.
On the whole, however, even this
concession to the appetite for the nut
that cheers but does not inebriate is
not advisable, and schools should
certainly lie exempt from peanut eat
ing. Gum is bad enough, but the
artistic gum-chewer can manipulate
her jaw so deftly and noiselessly as
not to annoy others in close proxim
ity, and therefore a cud of gum holds
over peanuts by a large majority.
On the other hand, a teacher ought
to convince pupils that peanut eating
is demoralizing to a school without
going to the extremity of cxpslling
them; but if. after a reasonable
amount of solicitation and warning,
the practice is persisted in, then they
should be fired ouC The. decision of
he court will be lookeu for anxious! v.'
Yoko Up The Wrong Parrot.
Funeral fact and funeral fancy are
subjects prolific of good stories, but
we have rarelv met with a better one
than tho following, which is vouched
for as a storv of fact. At a Boston fun
eral not long ago, the clergyman was
dilating upon the many virtues of the
departed. As it happened there was
much justification for it. as the de
ceased wa a man of large heart and
many merits; yet the clergyman,
probably feeling "free to let his fervor
of language play unrestrained, almost
outdid his theme. Not content with
couching his praise in simple and
straightforward words he mounted to
imagery and seemed to attribute an
gelic as well as human characteristics.
When at the climax of his eloquence,
his hearers charmed with the sweet
incenpe, the spell was broken by a
shrill voice, which cried eut:
"Facts, facts, give us facts!"
The sensible comment came from a
sage and venerable parrot which had
been removed to an ante-room, and
then it was remembered that promin
ent among the virtues of the deceased
master was a sturdy dislike for flattery
and a habit of sharplv rebuking
"highfalutin."
Rough on Young lawyers.
"Have vou anything to say?"
asked Judge Noonan of a prisoner
upon whom he was about to pass
sentence in the District Court of San
Antonio.
"Yes. iudec." was the renlv of the
prisoner, Avhose penalty had been as
sessed at imprisonment for life, "I
think that the timo wasted in making
that lons-windcd speech by that
young galoot you appointed to defend
me, ought to bo taken out of my sen
tence." "Who is your lawyer?" asked one
prisoner of another in Galveston jail.
"Col. Smithers," was the reply.
"Oh, he's pretty good for murder
ers, but he isn't much for perjury or
horse stealing. I've tried him on
both. You should have hired Col
onel Jones. He is good at any kind
of rascality."

What PzrenU Fear.
Many persons especially parents
nhipfit to onack nostrums as likelv
to engender or encourage a love for
strong drink. They are ngnt. -Bettor
to die of disease than of drunken
ness. The use of Parker's Tonic does
not involve this danger. It not only
builds up the system, curing all ail
mnnbt of the stomach, liver and kid
neys, but it stimulates without in
toxicating and absolutely cures the
appetite for liquor.

His name was James Williams.and
he resided just across the Snllivan
County line, in Putnam County. Mo.
He was a native of Tennessee, and
was scarred with the marks of the
combats of olden times. Up to the
time of his death he enjoyed good
health for one of his age, possessed
a good appetite and slept well. It
was a pleasant pastime with him in
later years to boast of having flogged
the bullies of Tennessee and Ken
tucky in his time. He had been en
tirely blind'for the past ten or twelve
years. He has ton daughters and
one son, Uncle Joe Williams, whose
head is silvered with age. For the
benefit of sanitarians and prohibi
tionists, it might be stated that he
owned to drinking much liquor, was
a constant chewer of the weed, but
