The light, boyish figure was clad in suit
of iron gray cloth of the finest and most
costly texture, and made in a style of the most
fashionable and finest workmanship. The
closely fitting, elegant pantaloons were fast
ened at the waist by belt of white patent
leather, adorned by large, curiously wrought
gold buckle. In the belt were placed silver
mounted Colts revolver and long. keen
bladed Spanish knife. His roundabout bore
on its sleeves and collar golden braid, nearly
half an inch in width, Enthusiastically curved
and twisted into beautiful network of
embroidery, and which gave to the garment
picturesque and novel appearance, half civil,
half military, at once attractive and becoming.
On his head he wore light, white cashmere
cap, without ornament, if we may except the
curiously worked golden flagree that clasped
it as aband. Nicely finished, beautiful patent
leather boots covered the small, girlish feet.

LONDON, Dec. I'd, midnight.-Prime
Minister Disraeli has published an address
announcing and defending the resigna-
ton of the ministry. He reviews the
progress of the resolves in favor of tile
dis>establishment of the Irish Church,
believing that the country would not
sanction such a measure. The govern
ment awaited the elections, for the hold
ing of which all expedition was used
The result shows that the ministry cannot
command the respect of the new House of
Commons therefore they feel it to be due
to their own honor and to the policy sup
ported by them, not to continue unneces-
sarily in Office single day. deeming it
more consistent with the attitude they
hold and the convenience of public bust
ness, to infsenee their party to resign at
once, instead of awaiting the meeting of a
Parliament, in which they would be in
minority, and while doing so they do not
modify their opinions, of which they are
more than ever convinced. Mr.. Glad
stones proposition is wrong in principle,
and probably impractlcable, and one
which, even if practicable, would be dis
astrous to the nation. They are ready to
support reform in the church of Ireland,
but still offer resistance to the policy
enunciated by Mr.. Gladstone.
Cork, Dec. 2d.-Mr. Sullivan, who was

A few evenings ago the librarian of the
Long Island Historical Society was start,
led by the report Of pistol in the book
alcoves. He made search, but discovered
nothing, and at the time no other person
was in tie room. The next day the as
sistant librarian heard similar report,
and a close investigation revealed the
cause. An exhibitor had placed in the
rooms case of tropical plants, among
which was the pistol plant, which is a
sort of nut. At a certain stage Of its
growth the shell of this bursts with yio-
lence, and with sharp sound, exactly
resembling the report Of pistol. The
shivered shells of these were found in the
bottom of the case.

The Girls Of the Present.

The Girls OF tho Present.
It is terribly significant of the present
state Of things when men are free to write
as they do of the women OF their own
nation. Every word Of censure flung
against them is twoedeed, and wounds
those who condemn as much as those who
are condemned for surely it need hardly
be snid that men hold nothing so dear as
the honor of their women, and that no one
living, would willingly lower the repute
of his mother or sisters. 1t is only when
these hare placed themselves beyond the
raie Of masculine respect that such things
are written when they become again
what they were once, they will gather
around them the love and honor and
chivalrous devotion, which were then an
English woman's natural inheritance
The marvel in the present fashion of life
among women, is how it holds it's ground
in spite Of the diApprobation of men. 1t
used to be an old-time notion that the
sexes were made for each other, and that
it was only natural for them to please
each other, and to set themselves out for
that end. But the girl of the period does
not please men. She pleases them as
little as she elevates them, and how little
she does that, the class of women she has

men whose opinion is worth having, pre-
fer the simple and generous girl of the
EAST, with her tender little ways and
pretty bashful modesties, to this loud and
rampant modcrnization, with her false red
hair and painted skin, talking slang as
gib'y as man, and by preference leading
the conversation to doubtful sui jects.-
She thinks she is prudent and exciting
when she thus makes herself the bad
copy of worse original, and she will net
see that, though men laugh at her, they
do not respect her; though they firt with
her, they do not marry her. She will not
believe that she is not the kind Of thing
they want, and that she is acting against
nature and her own interests when she
disregards their advice and ohends their
taste. We do not see how she makes out
her account, viewing her life from any
side but all we can do is to wait patient
~ until the national madness has passed,
and our Women have come back again to
the old English ideal, once the most beau
tiful, the.most modest, the most essentially
womanly in the world.-Quasterly Rerie,c.

The New York Tribune, treating of the
differences between that paper and the
leaders of the Radical party, thus gloomily
refers to the. Radical process of reconstruc'
ton, and its uncertain result:
''Then came reconstruction. Let us,
said the Tribune, end this business at once
by granting the universal amnesty which
must be given, and compelling universal
suffrage, which will give US the political
control of the South. We can trust the
white man if we make the former slave his
equal What would have resulted? The
South is to-day a seething, troubl@us caul-
dron of anarchy and chaos, by reason of
the men who were driven from the suf-
frage. The power which under our plan
would have been expressed in votes, is now
manifest in endless fever and unrest. Oil
and water will not mix. Chemistry can
unite them by a third agent, but that agent
is not fire. So that, while universal suf-
frage and universal amnesty wonld have
fallen upon the South as a blessing, and in
stantly united its people, Rebel and loyal,
the leaders said: NO we can only do it by
an army That is dead now. The lead
ers have seen amnesty pass from them
without the compensation which we de-
manded, and which most assuredly would
have come, and the reconstruction which
should have been consummated year ago
seems as far from the end as ever. We are
fighting a laboriDg, weary, uphill fight.
We might have conquered the enemy in
an open field. We allowed him to in
trench, and are compelled TO drive him
from his works"

A DISCLOSURE.

1t has become proverb that when
those who have combined together to do
"a damned deed" disagree and quarrel,
the honest and well intentiOned are fore~
warned, and, if they will, may be able
TO defeat their schemes The so-ealled
Republican party is, fortunately for the
good of the country, in such a guam

organ Of one Of the warning factions of

a very recent number, divulyes one of its
purposes which, for utter proaigacy is
unsurpassed in the annals 2 ttlcal
trickery. From the extract appended,
it will be seen that the whole and sole
object Of the miscalled reconstruction
act, was to manipulate the vote of the
Southern States in behalf Of the Radical
party. No intelligent observer ever
doubted it, but this is the first instance in
which it has been aYowed on high au
thority. 1t behooves the American peo'
Die to rise in their strength and crush out
of existence the last semblance of a
party that, for nearly three years, has so
yillainously triAed with the interests Of
the nation.
This is the language Of the Times
The Radicals in the Republican party
intend that these Southern States shall be
readmitted to the Union in time to be reps
resented in the Republican National Con-
vention and in the next Presidential cleo
ton, provided the suffrage laws they adopt
are such as to give assurance that their
votes will he 'on the right side

buttons they adopt
"The grand aim and object Of those who
have controlled the action of the Republic

been to secure to themselves the Presi-

ing the Club" How the Free Negro
is Worked.
In q very successful lecture delivered in
Boston by George Francis Train, for the
benefit of the family af Fenian prisoner,
that eccentric orator made a palpa5le hit
on the uses to which the freedmen are APP
piled. He carried with him to the rostrum
one of those Yankee toys, from which the
Boston children derive their notions of
what negro is. 1t was one of those dancing
kind, representing the very Essence Of old
Virginia" When the orator came to treat
of the negro, the Boston papers give the
following as the result:
Here Mr.. Train set the mig to dancing.
Where is Wilson? Another dance. |
