THE NORMAN FACE.

The beauty Of lie Normans is proverb
all over tie world. Nor has the universal
admiration which has been bestowed upon
it, ia the slightest degree exaggerated its
lofty and exquisite character. The men,
in their way, are as handsome as the wo'
men. They have the fine oval face, seda:e,
bright eyes, acA clear complexion Of the old
race. You look in vain for evidence OF
their Teu,onic descent in these sculptured
features; the skin aud hair alone suggest
ing a Renaissance of their Saxon ancestry.
The women arc remarkable for the natural
dignity of .leir canias-. which harmoni'
scs snikingly with their TAN and command
ing figures, ana the gravity and reserve O
theiI expressions, Like the men, their fac.
es are oval, with the .l;. :l,iy aquiline nose
large flashing eyes, and curved lips.
Their compilations are peculiarly trans
parent, the cheeks maniling over with
blush, rich in color, but delicate in lis DIFF
fusion. A smile sits in their eyes, but the
most inquisitive observer cannot detect in
their looks or manners the remoleSt indica'
ton vf leyi1y. 4 swee! seriousness is .hei
predominant! characteristic. 1t is strange
enough 10 an Engiishman 10 meet groups

Telegraph from Europe to Ameriea--
DR.. Jones. the Telegraph Agent in New
York, considers the project before the
Senate for submerged line through the
ocean. visionary, but proposes through
the Journal Of Commerce that the gov
ernments Of Europe and America unite
in forming line from New York to the
Pacific, and thence along the northwest
coast to Bhering's straits. This-thirty-
six miles wide and thirty fathoms deep
he says may be crossed by sinking the
wires with anchors. If the English chan
mel can be crossed from the English to
the French coast, it is certain, he argues,
that Bherings straits can be crossed with
facility. Thence he would proceed thro'
the Eastern part Of the Russian Empire
to st. Petersburgh, from whence lines
could diverge to all the different capitals
Of Europe. 1t is estimated that the fluid
moves at the rate of 100000 miles per
second.

RAIL ROAD DAMAGES.

At the Superior Court for Fairfield
county, a Mr.. Beers brought an action
against the Housatonic Rail Road Com
pany. to recover damages for the loss of
two animals killed from a drove by the
locomotive of said Company: On one
side it was contended that the act WAS
one of carelessness, and on the other that
the whistle was sounded as usual, and
the train nearly stopped when the acct
dent occurred. Judge Storrs, says the
Bridgeport Standard. charged that at
crossings Railroad Companies have no
peculiar or superior rights. Their agents
as well as othere, were bound to use
more than ordinary care at such cross
ings, in order to avoid trespassing upon
the rights of others. If the Jury were
of opinion that such care had mot been
used. the plaintiff was entitled to recov-
err. The Jury seemed to believe that
there had been want of due precaution
on the part of the defendants, as they
gave $50 damages and costs.

THE FRIENDS OF SIR WALTER
SCOTT.

Of the persons closely connected with
Sir Walter Scott, few remain. James
Ballantyne was on his death-bed when
he heard of his great friend, and patrons
death. The Ettrick Shepherd died in
1885; George Thomson, the happy
Dominic Thomson" of the happy days
of Abbotsford, in 1898; William Laid
law, after 1882, had the care first of the
Seaforth, and then of the Balnagown es-
tates, in Ross-shire, as factor; but being
struck with the paralysi in August 1874.
retired to the farmhouse of his excellent
brother, James, at Contin, and died there
in May ls45. Mr. Morrit, to whom the
larger memoirs of his friend were insert
bed. died at Rokeby on the 18th of Ju-
ly, l843-loved, venerated, never to be
forgotten. William Clerk, of Eidin, ad-
mired through life for talent and learn
ing, Of which he has no monument, died
at Edinburgh in January, l847. Sixteen
years have passed, and the generation to
which Scott belonged have been gather
ed to their Enthusiastically Life Of
Scott.
