The Girl who Wins.

The time has passed away when wo-
men must be pale and delicate to be
called interesting-when she must 90
totally ignorant of all practical kn0wl-
edge, to he called interesting--when
she must know nothing Of the current
political news If the day. or be called
masculine and strong minded.
1t is not a sign of high birth or re.
iuement to he sickly and ignorant.
Those who affect anything Of the kind
are behind the times, and must shake
up and air themselves, mentally and
physically, or drop under the firm
strides of common sense ideas, and he
crushed into utter inslgnificance.
In these days an active, rosy-faced
girl, with brain quick and clear, warm,
light heart, temper quickly heated
at intended insult or injury, and just
as quick to forgive whose feet can run
rs fast as her tongue and not put her
out Of breath; who is not afraid Of
freckles, or to breathe the pure air of
heaven, unrestraned by the trawn
curtains of a close carriage; and above
all, who can speak her mind and give
her opinion on important topics which
interest intelligent people, is the true
girl who will make good woman.
This is the girl who wins in these
days. Even iops and dandies like
woman who can taik we'll, even if she
is not handsome. They weary of the
mnst beautiful creature if she is not
smart. They say, "Aw, yes, she is
beauty, and no mistake, but che won't
do for me-lack of brains"--of which
commodity, j: would seem, she could
have little use in her association with
him; however, to please even an emp
ty-headrd fop, woman must know
something.

Fish Story.

The last fish story comes from New
Jersy. Lately in the interior of that
State a mild / oking countrymen Ell

seat at one end of the car. After
travelling along for about half an hour,

nan was observed to move uneasily
on her seat, and to cast savage glances
at a seemingly respectable man sitting
by her side. In few minutes another
lady, still further to the front, became
uneasy" and at last, rising in her seat,
requested some gentleman tn protect
her from an elderly looking gentman
by her side; and who, she stated, had
insulted her. A dozen persons offered
their assistance, and before the accused
could speak IN his own defence his hat
VAS iammed down over his eyes, and
he was dragged to the rear of the car.
While there, and carrying on with the

the indignity meant, still another lady

The large clock at the English Par.
Lament House is the largest one i'll

clock are twenty Two feet in diameter.
Every half minute the poiut of the
minute hand moves nearly seven
inches. The clock goes for eight aud
half days, but it only strikes for

winding up of the striking mechanism
takes two hours. The pendulum is iii

A MYaterY Solved.

About once in tour or five years the
question "Was Morgan murdered by
the Free Masons p comes up in the
newspapers, and is discussed with as
much fervor as if the transaction it
refers to was a matter OF yesterday. 1t
will sadden those who delight in mys-
terv to know, on SO good authority as
that of Morgan's son, that the supposed
victim of the brethren of the mystic
tie was neither tied to stone and sunk,
had his throat cut or was torn asunder,
according to the general custom in such
cases. On the contrary. he lived until
nearly thirty years after his abduction,
and finally ended his days in corpu.
lence and contentment at Hobartowu,
Van Dieman's land, where he for some
wears published a newspaper, the Ad-
vsrtiser, which is still in existence.
According 10 the statement of the son
referred to, Morgan was released on
condition of his leaving the country
forever. He was accompanied to Que
bee, where he entered the British navy,
and was placed on ship which left
soon after for England. Later he &C.
companied a Government vessel to
Australia, and his period Of service
being ended, he chose to take up his
residence in that quarter Of the world.
His son is a resident Of San Francisco,
and is responsible for the statements
here given.
