Toilet OF the Ex-Empress Eugenie.

The following "reminiscences of how
Eugene used to dress will have Ger.
tain interest at the present time. Per.
haps she was the only fashionable wo-
man who made it rule never to call
for her hair-dresser until every other
detail of her toilet had been attended
to and perfected. This is unique idea,
but a very clever one. In the first
place, imagine that her Majesty is
about to put on an ever ing dress. She
decides upon pink and white. The de-
mand is signified to certain satellites
above stairs, by an obed:ent messenger.
A few minutes before the blonde and
august ESpdgnole enters her dressing
room. She is preceded by her chief Ia
dy in waiting, who touches bell COM
municating with the room overhead.
Instantly, and as if by magic, a trap
door in the ceiling opens, and down
floats an enchanting lay figure of the
Empress as she will be in about twen-
ty-five minutes by the clock-perhaps
a little less, certainly not a minute
more; for there is no other fashionable
woman who so mathematically allots
the time given to her toilet, or who
dresses so expeditiously, Here is the
dress of pink gauze, the shawl of white
filmy lace thrown over its low cOrsage.
The manikin's hands even hold the
handkerchief of costly point, and the
delicate plumed fan, which are to grace
the royal fingers-or rather, which the
royal fingers are to grace. First, her
Majesty is chaussc in pearly silk hose
and pink satin shoes; then the dress,
next the ornaments, and now for the
coiffing of that auburn hair! In tip
toes tile dexterous hair-dresser. Five
minutes-ten. Presto! it is done, even
to the pink cameiias which match the
dress and diamOnded band of black vel
vet around her elegant throat and her
Majesty steps out into the world-to
the court-armed to conquer and sub
due the hearts of men and make the
women commit sundry little sins of en-
Wy. Think of il ySung women of the
period, and contrast it with your own
three hours getting up for hop or q

Another interesting insurance case
has just been decided in the courts, this
time in New York. The Equitable
Life Insurance Company, of that city,
refused to pay 5000 policy on the
life of one Horton, who fell from wa
gOn, while drunk, and received fatal
injuries, the ground of refusal being that
the insured, when he took out the poll
cy, gave a written warranty that he
was not addicted to the use of spirituOus
liquors, claiming that this warrant was
evidently false, and that they would
not have insured q man who was hab-
itually incorporate Judge Daily deci-
ded, however, that the warrant was af-
firmatory, not promissory, and that it
bore reference only to the time when it
was made, and, of course, that the fact
that the deceased cam. to his death af-
terward while intoxicated, did not in
validate the claim.

FRESH STARTS. The wish to begin
again is one Of those lodgings which are
so universally common to the human
race, and are felt so very early in the
course Of each mans experience, that
we call them native impulses or instincts.
As 1t is human to err, or to think we
have erred, SO it is human to wish to re-
pair real or tancied errors. And, like
all natural impulses, the desire to start
afresh may, under certain circumstances
such as the suffering produced hy mis-
conduct, or the higher tone of mind pro.
duced by education, by the discipline of
study, and by conversation with noble
naiures-rise and swell into passion
ate, irresistible longing. In the domain
OF politics-that is to say, when this i'm
pulse acts upon men aggregated in so.
ciety-it is called the revolutionary or
reforming spirit. In the domain of eth
acs, when it acts upon men severally, it
as called the spirit of improvement And
In either case it is one of the most valu.
able stimulants and restoratives which
human nature exhibits. 1t is to the spi,.
ituai and intellectual life pretty much
what chloride of sodium is to physical
life. 1t is the salt of the social and
moral world. The nation or the man
who does not feel this desire must either
De in morbid state of self satisfaction
or IN the exhaustion of despair. So long
as there is healthful energy, whether Of
conscience or Of hope, there must be a
desire to begin again.
