Perhaps more just and beautiful
compliment was never paid to woman

To the honor, to the eternal honor Of
the sex, be it said, in the path Of duty
no sacrifioe is with them too high or
too dear. Nothing is with them i'm.
possible, but to shrink from what love,
honor, Innocence, and religion require.

be, and 80 delicate that the winds Of
heaven may not too roughly visit her,
on such occasions she loses all sense Of
danger and assumes preternatural
courage, which knows not and fears not
consequences. Then she displays that
undaunted spirit which neither courts
difficulties nor evades them that resig-
nation which utters neither murmurs
nor regret and that patience in suffer-

death itself. ..=.: &. =s. s..5 &

statuary, eugravings, books and brio a

the Senator Keeps on, his collection
will rival that of the Botel de Cluny.
Then there is a choice collection of
autographs which contains many speci-
mems not to be found elsewhere on this
continent. 1t is especially rich in the
autographs Of sovereigns and statesmen,
but its gems are fine specimens of John
Milton and of Dryden. 1t is desire
to have funds for the purchase of such
objects of art that has sent Mr.. Sum-
nar on a peregrinatiou through the
West Of late, lecturiug every week day
night, and passing most Of the days on
the rail. When at home, no one here
is more hospitable or has better cook
than the Massachusetts statesman.

hotels and boarding houses Of different

amount of their salary, while others live

HOW WE GET rTHE WAR NEWS.
Here is man sitting in dark room
at Hearts Content. The ocean cable

Here is man sitting in . dark room
At Hearts Content. The ocean cable
terminates here. A fine wire attached
thereto is made to surround two. small
cores Of soft iron. As the electric wave,
produced By few pieces Of copper and
zinc at Valentia, passes through the
wires, these cores become magnetic
enough to move the slightest object. A
lookins-elass, half an inch in diameter,
is fixed on bar of iron one.tenth OF
an inch square and half an inch long.
On this tiny glass lamp is made to
glare so that its hight is reflected on a
tablet on the wall. The language Of
the cable is denoted by the shifting of
this reflected light from side to side.
l. tier by letter is thus expressed in t Is
fitting idion ia utter silence on the
wall. There is no record made by tns:
machine except as the PATENT watcher
calls out to comrade the translated
flashes as they come, and which he
records. 1t seems miracle Of patti
ence. There is something of awe
creeps over US as we see the evidence
OF human touch 5000 miles away
swaying that line Of light. By such a
delicate process as this, and after being
repeated from line to line five times be-
fore its ultimate copy is in New York,
the late great battles have been record
ed in our daily papers With great par
ticularity throughout the Union, Moth
ing like it has ever been accomplished.
The enterprise Of the New York press,
Of a single press in New York, has
clipsed that Of the wealthiest end
ablest presses in Europe. 1t is charac-
teristic of tho nation to do it's work
grandly and well.-Jou>naz Of the

He is said to suffer for want Of funds,
and is forced to economize.
Victor Emmanuel manages to get

$6,849 per day, but this is owing to
the fact that the climate being mild in

Victoria receives only 100000 a

several large dairy farms, and her but

From the London Athenoum.
There could be no tight lacing if
girls would be made to understand this
simple tact-that men dread the fact of
marrying a woman who is subject to
fits Of irritable temper, and to bad head
aches and other ailments we need not
mention, all of which, everybody knows
are the direct and inevitable product Of
the compression of the waist. Men like
to set small waist, certainly, but
there is very great difference between
the waist that is we'll formed and in
proportion to the rest Of the figure, and
waist which is obviously and arti6.
ci.lly compressed, to the destruction of
that easy and graceful carriage, which
is one of the chief charms Of a wo-
mans appearance. An unnaturally
compressed waist is far more certain Of
detection than mass Of false hair, or
a faint dusting Of violet powder. The
rawest youth who enters a ball room
can pick out the women who hav"
straig ghtened themselves artifcially; aud
there is no more ready handle for his
harmless jokes. IF the young lady
who, to obtain the appearance ofa drag
on fly, has been subjecting herself to
considerable pain, and who has been
laying up for herself pretty store Of
ailments, which only want time to pro-
nounce themselves, could only see the
stare of ely.disguised contempt,
and understand the scornfnl pity which
greets the result Of her labor, we
should have change of tashion-and
it is merely fashion. There is moth
ng intrinsically beautiful in an uunat-
urally small waist, and If it were the
fashion to 60 ino the.opposite extreme,
women would see beauty in padded
waists. It is a great misfortune that
popular taste never alters in this as it
alters in other matters. Observers may
notice with what a regular ebb and
flow, wide skirts aud narrow skirts al
ternate ; how we have the peg-top gar
ment of men followed by the sailors
vide ankled attire; how square-pointed
boots give place to pe'k-toed boots, and
how the peak.toes 60 out again for the
square-points. Through all changes
women remain true to only one fashion.
Whether her clothing is as long and
lank IS that Of = Grecisn virgin, or.
whether she builds around the lower
half Of her figure a rotund and capaeious
structure Of steel, she is forever faith
full to the tradition of small waist;
and she will weaken, she will make her
hands red, she will incur headache, she
will crack her voice, and she will ruin
her digestion, all to procure a malfor-
nation which wise men regard with
pity and fools with derision.
