The Looks Of Literary Women.

Very intellectual women are seldom
beautiful; their features, and particu-
larly their fOreheads, are exceptions
to all rules and Miss Landon was an
exception to this one. She was eX-
ceedingly feminine and pretty.
Mrs. Stanton likewise is an exceed
ingly handsome woman, but Miss
Anthony and Mrs. Livermore are
both plain. Maria and Jane Porter
were woman of high brows and
irregular features, as was also
Mrs. Sedgwick. Anna Dickinson
has a strong masculine face; Kate
Field had a good looking but by no
means pretty one, and Mrs. Stowe is
thought positively hOmely. Mrs. Bur-
leigh, on the contrary, is very fine
looking.
Alice and Phoebe Cary were plain
in features, though their sweetness of
disposition added greatly to their per-
sOnal appearance. Margaret Fuller
had a splendid head, but her features
were irregular and she was anything
but handsome, though sometimes in
the glow of conversation she appeared
almost radiant. Charlotte Bronte had
vOndrously beautiful dark brown
eyes, and a perfectly shaped head
She was small to diminutiveness, and
was as simple in her manner as a
child.
Julia Ward Howe is a fine looking
woman, wearing an aspect of grace
and refinement and great force Of
character in her face and carriage
Olive Logan is anything but hand
some in person, though gay and at
tractive in conversation. Laura HOl-
loway resembles Charlotte Bronte
both in personal appearance and in
the sad experiences of her young life.
Neither Mary Booth nor Marion Har-
Ian can lay claim to handsome faces,
though they are splendid specimens
of cultured women, while Mary Glenn
mer Ames is just as pleasing in her
features as her writings are graceful
and popular.

The Diet OF Worms.

/ Mr.. Henry Ward Beecher is right.
| Why should there be any objection to
/ healthy worms properly, cooked as an
article of diet? The eel, for example,
is only large worm but il is clean
and healthful and its flesh is only
second to that of the trout, or the
| trout's equal, the Spanish maekerel,
or the sheep's-head. A roasted grass
hopper, whose only food is the sweet
grass, or the smaller families who
have devOured it before him, "done
| brown" with fresh butter on toast,
DelmOnicO cannot equal as a delicacy.
The chestnut worm, as Mr.. Beech
er we'll observes, never ate an unclean
thing in its life; he lived upon the
best and the richest; and, tastefully
prepared, carefully seasoned, and
watched sedulOusly while being ts1-
overdOne, what could be more deli
eious There really is a great mistake
in the general public mind, as it is
called, about these things. What are
the lively inhabitants of a rich cheese,
for example, but a part-and the best,
selected part at that-of the gOOdly
cheese itself? Whoever saw an Eng
| Iishman evade the settlement in a
well-estabIished Cheshire, or matur-
ed StiltOn, or petrified Cheddar? Per-
haps few persons.
No; nothing that habituaIly de-
YOURS good food, with discretion and
discrimination, Is unworthy to be
eaten. Even eannibals themselves,
in their human preserves, finally lost
their relish, from the variety of their
game. A fat, well-fed, and well.tied
missionary, lying on his back like q
turtle, at the door Of a Sandwich Is
land restaurant, with a label on his
breast setting forth that he was to be
/ served up at twelve o'clock the next
day, was a very different subject from
a poorly fed common American sailor,
marked, perhaps, In different colored
| inks all over his body.
| Mr.. Beechers' theory is a benevO-
lent one. He goes for the worm,
though it has "wrought him much
annoy" Worms have devOured his
substance; destroyed his cherries, his
/ apples, his pears and his plumbs.
They have bored his trees even to a
greater extent than he has bored the
public in describing their depreda-
/ tions; and although they fill his
ground, torment his radishes, perfO-
rate his potatoes and exasperate all
kindred esculent roots and yet he
bears them no malice. Healthy
worms" is his only Invocation, seat,
grow fat, and be-cOOkedn'

MS. LiTermOre's Maiden Speech.

Mrs. Livermore made her maiden
speech during the war, in aid of a
sanitary fair in Dubuque. The audi
ence was packed with nOtables, gov
ernOrs, geUerals and colonies and
when called upon to set forth tine
claims of the soldier boys, this brave
woman, who had faced all manner of
fatigue and hardships for their sake,
utterly refused to say a word. At last,
however, the appeal came too strong,
and she arose with a fiUttering heart
and voice that quivered like an as
pen, and began her address. She saw,
felt and heard nothing until the
wants of the suffering soldiers flashed
before her mind, and then such a tide
of eloquence and pathOs poured forth
that the audience was melted to tears.
Her speech lasted an hour and a half,
and at the end of that time, eighty
eight barrels of sour-krOut, five hun
dred barrels Of potatoes, and fifteen
hundred dollars were collected on the
s2Ot.-RCCOlUtiOD

The nld-FashIoned Nother.

Thank God some Of us have an
old-fashioned mother. Not woman
of the period, enameled and painted,
with her great chignOn, her curls and
hustle; whose white jeweled hands
never have felt the clasp Of baby fin
gers; but a dear, Old-fashiOned, sweet
voiced mother, with eyes in whose
clear depths the lOve-light shone, and
brown hair, threaded with silver, ly-
ing smooth upon her faded cheek.
Those dear hands worn with toll gent
ly guided our tOttering steps in child
hood and smOOthed our pillows in
sickness; even reaching out to US In
I yearning tenderness when her sweet
spirit was baptised in the pearly spray
OF the river. Blessed is the memory
Of an old-fashioned mother. II floats
I 10 US now like the beautiful perfume
of some woodland blossoms. The mu-
sic of other voices may be lost, but
the enhancing memory Of hers will
echo in our souls forever. Other
faces will fade away and be forgotten,
[ but hers will shine on until the light
from heavens portals shall glorify
I our own.
When in the ftful pauses Of busy
/ life our feet wander back to the old
/ homestead, and crossing the we'll
worn threshold, stand once more in
the low, quaint room, so hallowed by
{ her presence, how the feeling of
childish innocence and dependence
comes over Us, and we kneel down in
I the molten sunshine streaming
I through the western window-ju
where, long years ago, we knelt by
our mothers knee, lisping ''Our Faith
er." How many times, when the
tempter lured US on, has the memory
/ Of those sacred hours, that mothers
words, her faith and prayers, saved
US from plunging into the deep abyss
Of sim Years have filed great drifts
between her and US, but they have
not hidden from our sight the glory
/ of her pure, unselfsh love.

astronomical Photographs.

Mr. Proctor, Of England, is pre-
| pairing for the press a work on the
m oon, founded on and illustrated by
the exquisite photographs of Mr.. Lew
is L. Rutherford, of New York, whose
skill IN precise mechanism and in
all that relates to celestial photOg-
raphy is so well known at home
and appreciated abroad. Mr.. Ruther-
fOrd's success has been achieved by
minute and laborOus attention to the
adjustment of his telescope and to
the fabrication and regulation of its
moving parts, while the actinic focus,
whic& differs in position from the
visual one has been obtained, in the
first instance, by experiment when the
iron tube of the telescope had deter
mined temperature, from the known
rate of the expansion of the tube the
Photographic plate being moved a
corresponding distance by means of a
micrometer-screw. His pre-eminent
success has however, been mainly
due to his patient work in forming a
lens to the principal focus of which
are conveyed the Photographic in
stead of the visual rays.
Some idea may be formed of the la
Dor and delicacy of this operation
when it is know thet every correction
that the lens required in the process
of its construction was determined by
taking photographs either of the star
Sirius or of Vega, and any irregulari-
ty in the Photographic impression of
the star demanded a particular abra-
sion to be applied to the surface of the
lens before the next photograph was
taken. If this process of correction
is found labOTiOus when applied to
the visual ray, which can be directly
seen and studied, how much more so
is it when applied to the correction of
the actinic rays, when the telescope
has to be driven with absolute pre-
cisiOn by delicately-adjusted clock
work during exposure of the plate last
ing several minutes for every photo
graphic plate obtained!
With this telescope photographs of
the Pleads have been obtained each
star of the group, ofabOut thirty COM
pOnents, appearing as . clear, round
dot AlcyOne, the principal star of
the cluster, gives an impression ex-
acIy like period of punctuation in
diamond type while the photograph
image of the other stars diminish
with their apparent magnitude as de-
termined by the eye. Plates so Sc
cure are permanent records of the
heavens, and can be studied micro
metrically at leisure; the result of a
few measures on such plates being Of
more value than long series of Obser-
vations made by the eye with the or
binary micrOmetic-eye-piece. The
scientific men of all countries will
look to the measures in plates as af-
fording them the best data for solv-
ing that most refined of all astronom-
ical problems: the determination of
the paralIax and distance of q fixed

Sum Total Of Lord Mayors Talent

King James the Second, passing
through Colchester, it was resolved
that the Mayor should compliment
him on his arrival.
1t so happened that this chief mag

looked upon as no strange thing in
England.
The tOwn-clerk was appointed to at
tend him at his back, and whisper
what he was to say to the king
When they came into his Majesty's
presence, the clerk, desiring TO en-
courage the Mayor, whispered in his
ear

king.

Nobody Bat John.

''Some one is coming said /, as the
clack of the shutting gate fell on my
ears, and I looked at Maggy's soiled
untidy dress, and fumbled hair.
Maggy started, and glanced hastily
from the window then sat down
again in a careless way, remarking, as
she did so
"It's nobody but John"
Nobody but John And who do you
think that nobody was? Only her
husband.
Nobody but John.
A few moments afterwards John
Fairburn came into the room where
we were sitting, and gave me one of
his frank, cordial greetings. I had
knSwn him for many years, and long
before his marriage. I noticed that
he gave an annoyed glance at his
wife, but did not speak to her. The
meaning of this annoyance and in
difference was plain to me; for John
had come of a neat and tidy family.
His mothers housekeeping had al
ways been notable. She was poor
but as "time and water are to be had
for nothing was one of her say
ings-she always managed to have
things about clean and orderly.
Maggy Lee had pretty face, bright
eyes, and charming little ways that
were very talking with the young
men, and so was quite a belle before
she got out Of her teens. She had a
knack Of fixing her ribbons, or tying
her scarf, or arranging her hair, shawl +,
or dress in 8 way to give grace and
charm to her person. None bat her
most intimate friends knew of the
untidyness that pervaded her room
and person when at home, and away
/ from common observation.
Poor John Fairburn was taken in
when he married Maggy Lee. He
/ thought that he was getting the
/ tidiest, neatest, sweetest and most or
derby girl in town, but discovered too
soon that he was united to a careless
slattern. She would dress for other
! peoples ewes, because she had a
( natural love of admiration; but at
home and for her husband, she put on
{ her old duds, and went looking often
''like the old Scratch" as the saying
I is.
On the particular occasion of which
I am speaking-it was after she and
John had been married over a year
her appearance was almost disgusting.
/ She did not have on even a morning
! dress; only a faded and tumbled
ehintZ sack above a soiled skirt-no
collar-slippers down at the heels, and
and dirty stockings. Her hair looked

Not long ago, in Fourteenth street,
New York, boy, with his violin held
diagOnally across his bOdy-he was
too fatigued to hold it as he should
commenced an air from "MasancillO," Z"
and passers by stopped to listen. AS
he warmed in his song they crowded
about him, and he, the little waif in
the enchanted multitude, held them
spell-bound. As he finished, and the
last low notes of his melody died
away, a stranger approached, and,
taking him by the hand, led him
away. Fed, clothed and happy, he
was taken before Parepa-ROsa and her
husband. Accompanied then by the
skillful touch Of the artist, he again
sung the aria from the opera. There
was no acting, no stage depletion of
passion, but the rare, rich voice, the
sweet, natural expression he gave to
his music, won the praise Of his
audience and an education for the
stage.

Gently sold 10 an antiquary. On
cleaning it he discovered a vase Of the

is composed is unlike any known;
but the learned antiquary says it is
"bronze Of Corinth," and Seneca SAYS
of it that it sold for four times its
weight in gold. Six kinds Of metal
are employed in its composition
gold, silver, brass, lead, iron and tin:
but the exact quantities are unknown.
It probably goes back to Caesar's
epoch.

General Meade made the following
speech at the Lookout Mountain an

last week. "His weak point was his

Relative to the finding, recently, OF
a corpse at POmpeii, a correspondent
writes: "When the bodies are found
at Pom peii, plaster is instantly pour
ed in to preserve the form. This plas-
ter gave the exact representation OF
OF the poor POmpeiian who met his
horrible death so suddenly. Through
centuries and centuries the texture OF
the very garments had been preserv-
ed, although in dust and ashes.
The legs We're bare, and the shirt open
at the throat. The shirt was of some
coarse wooden stuff; around the
throat is 4 necklace Of enameled
beads, and on the ankle an anklet ofn

A Knoxville paper makes this Tea-
sOnable railroad proposition ''Tnat
the President Of a company, owing
the State four hundred thousand dol
lars, with fifty thousand dollars Of the
identical bonds borrowed from the
State still in hand, should purchase
the entire road for two hundred thOus-
and dollars, and discharge the debt
with twenty Of the fifty bonds so held
thus making a railroad and three
hundred thousand dollars, as a clear
profit off the State, looks to a plain,
straightforward, matter-of-fact sort OF
man, as very queer transaction
rather sleek financial operation" 1t
seems that this happened in the re-
cent sale Of the East Tennessee and
North Carolina Road.
