Beauty of. American Women

Nature has endowed the American Ia
dy with profusion of rich gifts far be- ]
yond her less favored sisters abroad. IfI
really great beauties are comparatively
rarc-and even on this point the diver
sity of taste may lead to difference of
opinion-the majority of women are
merely fair. They are, almost without
exception, delicately made, and in this
respect very different from the robust
type of the English girl Of the period,
with her ruddy color, her full form, and
her deep, masculine voice, and still more
different from the heavy, angular girl,
who combines SO mysteriously an i'm
mense amount of sentimentality with an
unlimited appetite, The neck and the
extremities are uniformly so small that
European establishments have to make
collars, gloves and shoes especially for
the American market, certain sizes of
these three articles being utterly unsal:-
BILE in Europe. Hence, when the Amer
ican girl reaches her natural heaven,
Paris, and has been few weeks in the
hands of French artists, she is simply
perfection. She outshines the Partisan
on her own privileged ground. Elder
ly men will remember a fair New York
beauty, who visited Paris when the. EN-
peror was still President, and the furore
her exquisite toilets created whenever
she appeared at the opera, at the Elys-
ees, or at the Bois. Younger men need
not be reminded Of the recent rivalry
between one of their beautiful country
women and the brilliant Metternich, and
The desperate but futile effort made by
the great arbiter of fashion 10 wrest the
crown OF victory from her hands. Com
bining great natural advantage in beau
ty and grace with admirable taste and
an almost instructive perception efthe
becoming, American women abroad very
easily outstrip all competitors in the.art

Thomas Mccoy, of New. Lisbon, last
week, farm that he did not own. The
land was said to be located in st. Clair

after his plantation, behold the real Dan

Vice President COlfax.

The Brooklyn Eagle gets off the fol
lowing on Vice President Colfax:
"The first man that Mcfarland be-
came jealous of was not Albert d. Rich
ardson. Richardson was, undoubtedly,
an after apprehension to him. The first
was one who became an object Of suspi-
cion to the husband in this wise: Mrs.
Sinclair playiully told Mcfarland one
spring evening in 1866 that Abby had
run to her house and bid long goodbye
at the door to a gentleman, and that
Abby had told her that she wouldn't
have Dan know it for the werld, because
that gentleman was very fond of her
Mrs. Sinclair told Mr.. Mcfarland to
look out-told HIM SO inplay. He did
look out in earnest, and found that gen.
tleman to be Speaker Colfax, now Vice
President of the United States,in whose

remained while she was prosecuting hel

Es-A nigger got drunk in Medina,
Ohio, on the night of April IA, went to
sleep resting his woolly pate upon ta-
BILE. There was kerosene lamp burn

that he was at the polls, and, thrusting
forth his hand to vote, as he thought,
knocked the lamp off the table, and thus
was started fire which consumed the
entire business portion of the town

NE'Tbo Constitutional

Eg The Constitutional Convention of
Illinois has adopted the bill of rights.
One of its provisions is that no person
shall be compelled to attend any minis
try or place of worship, or to contribute
to the support of the same, and that the
General Assembly shall provide some
measure by which persons, conscienti-
ously observing the seventh day of the
week, or the Sabbath, may be exempted
from answering any civil process on that
day. Another action provides that an
action for libel shall not lie wherea the
truth is published as to fact or sentiment
without bad motives. Another section
provides that grand juries shall not be
empanneled, and the Legislature is en-
powered to abolish grand juries in all the
courts.

sEEWhile the world is almost appall-

court room at Richmond, Va, it may
be Interesting to notice the sensation
produced By the terrible calamity in that
city by the burning Of its theatre in
1911. BY that occurrence the children
Of two members of Congress were burn
led, viz: those of Mr.. c. M. Clay and
Mr.. Venable. The House of Represen
tatives adjourned as a mark of respect,
and the members wore Grape upon their
left arms for a period Of thirty days.
