The recent arrival at Philadelphia
Of cargo Of $50 quarters Of fresh
beef from Texas has created quito a
sensation in that city. Directly af.
tor the arrival of the vessel, the
matches that had remained sealed
from the moment the vessel left Tex
as were opened, and the uppermost
quarters was liftsd out for inspection
and found to be as fresh and sweet
as when it was packed away. By
an arrangement Of huge ice box
in the after part Of the vessel, and a
hugh fan, q current of air was kept
constantly passing over and per
meating between the layers of beeves
and they maintained thus an aver
ago temperature Of SO degrees. Five
hundred pounds Of q dainty fish,
caught in the Gulf of Mexico, were
found to be rs firm and perfect as
when placed in the refrigerator.-
When it became known that fresh
Texas beef was being sold at 10
cents . pound, half the rates charged
in the street market. d great rush of
people was at once made to take ad-
vantage Of the rare opportunity

an interesting one. Rich and poor
crowded forward to be served. call.
ing for quantities from pound to a
quarter, and while waiting were pro-
life in their encomiums upon its
good quality snd its cheapness, and
their radiance from the "butcher
monopoly" which they have been
compelled to support for so long q
time. The new enterprise bids fair
to give decided impetus to stock
raising in Texas, and the time is
likely not far distant when semi
weekly vessels will arrive loaded
with fresh beef from that sect,on.--
The experiment has been tried at q
season of the year during which it's
success might have been reasonably
doubled.

Though that class Of girls is by no

BILE as . nice girl. Not pretty or
dashing girl, but nice girl. One of
those lovely, lively, good hearted,
sweetfaced, amiable, neat, natty,
domestic creatures met within the
sphere of "home," diffusing around
the influence of her goodness, like
the essence of sweet flowers.
A nice girl is not a languishing
beauty, lolling on q sofa and dis
cusslng the last novel or opera, or
the giraffe-like creatures sweepin g
majestically through the drawing
room. Tho nice girl may not even
play or dance well, and knows no.
thing about using her eyes or coquet-
ting with q fan. She never anguish
es, she is too active. She is not
given to sensation novels, she is too
busy. In public she is not IN front
showing hcr shoulders she sits
quiet and unobtrusive ut the back of
the crowd, most likely. In fact, it is
not often we discover her. Home is
her place.
She rises betimes and superintends
the morning meal! Who makes the
toast and tea, and buttons the boys
shirts, and waters the flowers, and
feeds the chickens, and brightens up
the parlor and sitting-room !? ais it
the languisher, or The giraffe, or the
elegant" not o bit of it; it's the nice
young girl.
Her maiden toilette is made in the
shortest possible time, yet how
charmingly it is done, and how ele-
CANT her neat dress and collar! Not
presenting her check or brow like "a
fine girl" but an audible smack
which says plainly, 81 love you ever
SO much" IF you covet anything

never ceases to be active and useful
until the day is gone, when she will

old songs and play old tunes to her
father and mother for hours together;
she is . perfect treasure is the nice
girl. When sickness comes it is she
who attends with unwearying pa

is no risk, no fatigue that she will
not undergo; no sacrifice that she
will not make. She is all love, all
devotion. I have often thought it
would be happiness to be i'll, to be
watched by such loving eyes and at
tended by such fair hand.
One Of the most strongly marked
characteristics of a "nice girl' is
tidiness and simplicity of dress. She
is invariably associated in my mind
with high frock, plain collar, and
the neatest of nice ribbons, bound
with the modestest little brooch in
the world. never knew "nice
girl" who displayed a PERCUSSION Of

dresses or q splendid bonnet.
