A Turkish Beauty.

l enjoyed the pleasure this morning os
being introduced to very handsome
Turkish lady, in order to give me an op-
portunity of witnessing perfect specimen
Of Oriental beauty. After good deal of
persuasion she allowed me to copy bec
profile. Her eyes and eye-lashes were
iatensely black, though | suspect the lat
ter were stained Of deeper dye than the
natural one. Her complexion was beau,
tifully fair, with the slightest tint of car
nation suffused over her face. Her lips!
sweet lips that made us sigh even to
have seen such. Her glossy hair, which
was bound with a kalemkier or painted
handkerchief, representing whole par
terre Of flowers, fell in loose curls upon
her shoulders and down her back. She
wore sho-t black velvet jacket, embroid.
cred with gold lace; trowsers Of sky blue
and under jacket Of pink Grape, one of
those beautiful transparent shirts which
ravish the beholder, and "half reveal the
charms they fain would hide"
A magnificent Persian shawl encircled
her waist, which had natures own form.
never having been compressed by the
cruel bandage of stays. Her feet were in
slippers, and two or three ugly rings de-
formed her white and slender fingers, the
nails of which were dyed with henns.
Arou,:d her neck she wore double row
OF pearls. from which hung an amulet.
Her skin was very white and beautiful;
the constant use Of the dye varor bath
having reduced it to fneness which /
can only compare to highly polished
marble, and it looked as glossy and as
cold. She was we'll pleased with tho
drawing made, and, on raising to go
away, she put on her yellow boots over
the beautiful white foot and ankle, which
it was sin to conceal; then donning her
cashmere and cloak, she bade as adieu
with grace and elegance which few Eng
lish ladies could equal. No wonder the
Turks sigh for paradise, when they DO.

RAILWAY EXTENSION The number oi
miles of new railway in the United States
during the past year will, it is believed,
approximate to 6 600; making total con.
struction since and including the year
1868, the year of the termination Of the
war, of about $4,000. If it is ASSUMED
that line Of railway gives access to Is
square miles Of country on each side of it,
or 80 square miles altogether, then the
$4,000 miles Of railway which it is esti-
mated have been constructed during the
five years from 1865 to 1870 will have
opened up 100000 square miles of what,
for the purpose of general production,
may be considered new territory tract
Of country larger than the whole area ol
France, and nearly three and q half times
larger than the whole area Of Great Brit

The Emperor and His Salary.


A Paris letter thus gossips about Napo-
leon and his pay, how he spends it, and
whittier he is tending. But who would
wish to be the Emperor Napoleon ILL.,, at
this time in particular is much graver
question. His salary" as We should call
the amount given to the head Of q nation,
by the law is 100000 frances, or SS,-
100000, per annum. But look at his ex-
penditures lie has palaces, chateaus,
hunting lodges, and Imperial farms all
over France. He keeps 500 horses in his
stables, and more than 500 grooms, wait
ere and attendants. AT this moment he is
dispensing royal hospitslities to hundreds
Of guests at Compiegne, giving dinners,
hunts, balls, plays and feasts constantly !;
his bitter but unreliable enemy, Rocl,cfort,
says, depending 60,00O frances (sl2,OoO)
per day" The Empress is also now as
tonishing the Turks, the Egyptians and
the Arabs by her beauty, her amiability
and her bounty and although the army
and navy of France transport the Empress
and guard the Emperor free of expense to
the latter, think ye, is there not enough
left Of kingly expenditure to draw largely
upon the Emperor's purse And if, by
any means, he can lay aside few millions
per annum ''for rainy Tor fery) day."
is he not fairly justified in so doing? To
be able to judge honestly and justly of
mans acts, be he an Emperor or beggar,
or any grade between them we must be
near enough to, or intimate enough with,
the circumstances and surroundings of the
individual, and know something of the
realities or the man. Napoleon III. is
not tyrant nor fool. he is kind
hearted, good natured, but ambitious and
overworked man. With years and failing
health, comes anxiety for the future and
with far better knowledge of the dispo-
sition, temper and capabilities of the
French nation than nine-teuths of his
Ministers, detractors or advisers, he is
steadily advancing to comparatively free
and representative government. To that
end he vii! obtain, if God spares the life
of the father and the son, and if bad ad-
visers do not, while shrinking responsible
ity, give persistently wrong direction to
the ship Of State.

MEDICAL PROPERTIES OF EGGs.-The
white of an egg has proved Of late the
most efkcacious remedy for burns. Seven
or eight successful applications of this
substance soothes pain and eifectually ex.
clades the burned parts from the air
This simple remedy seems preferable to
collodion or even cotton. Extraordinary
stories are told of the healing properties
OF new oil which is easily made from the
yolk of hens eggs. The eggs are frs,
boiled hard, and yolks are then removed,
crushed and placed over fire, where they
are carefully stirred until the whole sub.
stance is just on the point Of catching
fire, when the oil separates and may be
poured of. One yoik will yield nearly
two teaspoonfuls Of oil. 1t is in general
use among the colonists of South Russia
as means Of curing cuts, bruises and
scratches.

Never saw a Woman.

Never saw Woman.
In Nedow's History Of the Chinese,
lately published ia London, chapter on
love has the following story:
"A Chinese who had been disappointed d
in marriage, and who had previously suf>
fered through women in many other ways
retired with his infant son to the peals of
3 mountain range in Kweicheo, to a spot
quite inaccessible to little footed Chinese
women. lie trained his son to worship
the gods, and stand in awe and adherence
OF the devils; but he never mentioned
women to him, always descending the
mountains alone to buy food. At length
however, the infrmities of age compelled
him to take the young man with him to
carry the heavy bag Of rice. One day, as
they were leaving the market town to-
gether, the son suddenly stopped short,
and pointing to three approaching objects,
cried, Father, what arc those things {?
Look look! What are they?' The faith
er instantly answered with peremptory
order. Turn away your head /; they are
devils u The son, with some alarm,
turned away, noticing that the evil things
were gazing at him from behind their
fans.
lie walked to the mountain, ate no
supper, and from that 'lay lost his appe-
tite. and was afflicted with melancholy.
For some time his troubled and anxious
parent could get no satisfactory answer to
his inquiries, but at length the young man
burst out, crying with inexpressible pain !:
"Oh, father that tallest devil! that tallest
devil, father. do want to see her again Z,
