\ curious contribution has recently
been made to the Congressional Libra
ry by the United States Legation ut
Paris. 1t consists of an album contain
ing original photographs of all the
leading French Communists, both male
and female. Tho pccuIiartics of phis-
iognony in the album afford II subject
of interesting study. The men are all
especially ctlcminatc in appearance,
and, according to popular canons,
would be considered to possess remark
able beauty. The women, on the other
hand, are stri%ingly bold and mascu-
line, and exhibit those fanatical and
abnormal traits for which the French
nation has become prOvcrbial. The
men and women appear as much out
OF joint as the race and time to which
they belong.

The Cholera in Russia

The cholera has broken out In
K>nionka in Russia, and such is
its virulence that one soul in eve-
ry five of the whole population
has persisted. la other words, a
coffin has left one "vacant chair"
in every family in the stricken
district. So terrible calamity
it is almost impossible to realize,
save by the hard, stern, light of
figures, and even then our realiza-
ton is incomplete without the
more intense sympathy to be de-
rived from the fellow feeling of q
possible kinship in peril; a very
personal sympathy springing from
present suffering, or liability 10
suffering, from similar attac OF
the same common foe. A repeti-
ton in Fayetteville of the same
horrors that have desulated Koni.
onka, would give t. this town
three hundred and thirty odd
deaths! The bare thought indu-
ces a shudder.

The cow is a domestic animal,
and prev lis extensively through
out the United States and the out
side world. The cow is u gentle
brute and generally has horns, but
sometimes not. Sometimes she is
black, sometimes white, speckled,
spotted or otherwise. She gives
milk for the calves and other chill
dren. Sometimes she gives but.
termilk and som times she don't.
The COW eats grass and other
herbs and has a very benevolent
countenance. The COW generally
has four legs, two eyes, two ears
and one tail. The tail is general
Iy situated afterwards or behind,
and follows wherever the COW
goes. The cow has two eyes
which are black, and situated be-
fore, and they generally do the
seeing for the whole animal. The
tail is Of great use in fly time as
well as ornamental, and can be
moved about gracefully. The
cow chaws wax like | have seen
women Of the female sex do, OF
perhaps they chaw tobacco like q
man or any other sheep. The
COW has one mouth in which she
hides grass and other food, but il
is n 1t capable of smile. A cows
noSe.is not very romantic, but il
does very we'll to smell with and
is the foremost part of the beast.
A cow has no front teeth in the
upper part of her mouth, and this
is wise provision of nature tc
keep her from biting the milk
maid, but | suppose there are
many ladies who do not know it
The COW has two ears and they
do most of the hearing for the
brute, besides afording a place fol
the owner to leave his mark
The cows voice is not so melodi.
Gus as a melodeon, but it sounds
pretty we'll at a distance on wa
ter, and is very useful in calling
up the calves. The COW has four
feet and each foot is divided into
two equal parts, and one part gen
orally does as much walking as
the other. The reason why the
foot is divided into two equal parts
is-well | will have to reserve
that for another lecture. The
COW is a very benevolent animal,
for she gives nourishment to many
other calves besides her own
Lastly she may be called pious
brute, for she always gets on her
knees before lying down.
