The Girl of the PeriOd-FearfnlIy
aud WOnderfully Made.

A recipe for making one of this year s
fashionable young ladies is thus given
by a Saratoga correspondent: g
ra Take ninety pounds of flesh and
bones-but chiefly bones--wash clean,
bore holes in the ears, and cut off the
small toes; bend the back to conform to
the Grecian bend, the Boston dip, the
kangaroo droop, the Saratoga slope, or
the bullfrog break, as the taste inclines;
then add three yards of linen, two UNI
brellas with leather waist straps, 100
yards of ruiiles, rs yards of edging, Is
yards of dimity, | pair of silk cotton
hose with patent hip attachment, one
pair false calves, six yards flannel (em-
broidered), one pair Balmoral boots with
heels three inches high, four pounds of
whalebone in strips, 1850 yards of steel
wire, three.quarters of a mile of tape,
ten pounds of raw cotton or two wire
hemispheres, one wire basket to hold a
bushel, four copies of New York paper
triple Sheet, $50 yards of silk or other
dress goods, 500 yards Of point lace,
400 yards of fringe or other trimmings,
l3 gross of buttons, l box pearl powder,
saucer carmine, and an old hare's foot,
bushel of false hair frizzed and
fretted a rAfi'5caine, bundle japanese
switches, with rats. mice, and other var
mints, peck of sixbutton gloves, lace
handkerchief nine inches square, with
patent holder. Perfume with otter of
roses, or sprinkle with nine drops of the
Blessed Baby" or "West End.
Stuff the head with fashionable novels,
ball tickets, play bills and wedding
cards, some scandal, great deal of lost
time and very little poodle dog; add
half grain of common sense, three
scruples of religion and tincture of
modesty. Season with vanity, a6fecta-
ton and folly. Garnish with earrings,
Gnger-rings, breastpins, chains, brace
let's, feathers and flowers to suit the
taste. Pearls and diamonds may be
thrown in If you have them; if not,
paste and pinchback from the dollar
store will do. Whirl all around in
fashionable circle, and stew by gas light
for six hours. Great care should be
taken that the thing is not overdone.
If it does not rise sufficiently, add
more copies of New York paper.
This dish is highly ornamental, and will
do to put at the head of your table on
grand occasions, but it is not suitable
for every day use at home, being very
expensive and indigestible. 1t some
times gives men the heartburn and
causes them to break, and is certain
death to children. If you have not the
ingredients at hand, you can buy the ar
tiele ready made in any of our large
cities--if you have money enough.

Cattle imported into England from the
Baltic have been found to be tainted with
the cattle plague. The importation has
therefore been forbidden and, in conse-
quence, butchers meat in England has
risen TO an unprecedented price. Peo-
pie are already contemplating the pos
sibility that they will soon be compelled
to live upon the dried meat Of Australia
which Mr.. Ruskin says he likes, though
it is believed that his charitable servants
substitute pure sawdust for the real
Australian article, and so enable the
great art critic to make somewhat com
Portable meal With the prevalence of
the appetite for Australian beef, we shall
probably see decay in the prejudice
against the cheap cat, the inexpensive
dog, and the abundant rat. Many
respectable persons have insisted that
the popular dislike OF these animals as
articles of food is entirely groundless,
aud that their cheapness ought to recon-
mend them as substitutes for beef.
Perhaps Mr.. Ruskin will write "Fors
Clavigna upon this topic, and will
show how much Of childlike faith, lofty
inspiration, and other -Raphaelite
things there are in feline ragout.

Murat, tall and masculine IN person,
his features well-formed, but expressing
little beyond good nature and rude en-
ergy and consciousness of physical
power; his black hair flowing in curls
over his shoulders; his hat gorgeous with
plumes; his whole dress carrying an air
Of masquerade-this was the general
aspect Of the man, well picturing the
ardent chieftain of cavalry in Napo-
Icons great campaigns. Amidst the
luxurious life of Naples, indeed, his
feelings and conversation often reverted
to the time when he was hotly engaged
with Cossack bands on the plains of
Poland and Russia. have seen him
dressed as a Cossack chief at a court
masquerade; and parading the Strada di
Toledo, with long suite of his old COM
panions in war, in similar costume. He
was endowed with large amount of
pure animal vitality, which pleasurably
expended itself in the active deeds of
war, but found no sufficient vent in
peace, even when called upon to act the
king. think he was personally popu-
lar with his Neapolitan subjects, includ-
iRg the lazzaroni, who had their peculiar
way of describing with the fingers his
gait on horseback, and the waving of his
plumes. With all bis fantasies of dress,
there was a jovial kindness Of tempera-
ment, which made his presence agree
able to the public eye.-RecOllectiOnS Of
Past life, by Sir Henry Holland.

Berlin is full of statues, but as even
the most superficial tourist cannot fail
to remark, nearly every one of these
memorials is in honor of some man of
war. 1t is rather refreshing, therefore,
TO read that Notwithstanding Krupp guns
and rife practice are by all accounts
nearly as much in the ascendance in the
Prussian capital as they were two years
ago, and the smell of gun-powder OBJ
scures all other-except, perhaps, that
from the drains--a monument has posi-
lively been raised to a man of peace
jain, the founder Of the Turnverein or
gymnastic society, which has done
great deal more than most associations
do to make its members healthy and
happy. A man who originates a plan
to effect this deserves to be commemo-
rated,

MEETING OF THE EMpRRORs.
Significance of the "Rapproche.
ment" from an Austrian stand
point.

Significance of the "Bappr0che.
ment" from an Austrian stand
point.
The Vienna correspondent of the
Eastern Budget, writing on the Sd inst,
says: Although there have of late been
many indications Of success of the eff
forts made by the Court of Berlin at st.
Petersburg very unusual sensation
was produced here by the news that the
Gar will meet our Emperor in the Ger
man capital Public opinion in Austria
had become so accustomed to the cold
ness which has so long characterized
the relations of the Vienna Cabinet
with Russia that even the ostcntatious
friendliness with which the Archduke
William was received at St. Petersburg
was not regarded as an event Of any
great importance. The Cars decision
to meet the Emperor Francis Joseph at
Berlin at once placed matters on an
entirely novel footing. 1t is obvious that
this interview between the three Empe-
rors means much more than an act of
mere courtesy. All politicians here are
unanimous in hailing it as a guarantee
of peace, and the universal satisfaction
is the greater that the first overtures
have come from a power which of late
has been the only one in Europe to give
any cause for alarm.
The Spectator, writing upon the same
topic says: The three gentlemen who
meet in Berlin can, if they please, agree
to guarantee each others territories.
Such an agreement would render it al
most impossible for France to attack
Germany with any hope of success; for
she wants Alsace and Lorraine back, not
to fight Germany, then Austria, and
then Russia, and thea, after all, get moth
ing, and she would be almost forced to
strive for an alliance with England and
Italy. 1t would set Russia free to pur-
sue her schemes in Asia, some Of which
may yet be of the first consequence to
Great Britain; it would relieve Austria
Of her fear of seeing her German subjects
Join their kinsmen to the ruin of her
power in the valley of the Danube; and
il would leave Germany free to conduct
to the bitter eud her warfare with the

E.rI,sh opinion of Lady LeeturerB.

The Saturday Review is having a
thrust at the lady lecturers. The domi-
mating trait of all such it considsFsto be
a love of display, and the generic quality
of "the tribe vanity. Their selt-eon-
scionsness is their weakness, and their
lectures are for partisanship, not truth.
1.-THE very dress and appearance OF the
lady lecturer, nine times out OF ten,
mark her purpose. Whatever the line
they take. what they are and how they
look, is what chiefly interests them, and
the kind Of personality they display IS
not second in importance 10 the ehsrac-
ter of the doctrine they advocate.
The writer has no objection to their
lecturing il they want 10 lecture, but
wishes them 10 confne their lectures TO
women, on feminine subjects; here they
could really instruct the ignorant and
do a great work, If it were done nobly
and geperously-without self-consolons-
ness. Another London Journal is quite
hard on Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, laying
the failure Of the Peace Congress to her
door, as caused by her much speaking,
and that speaking not being to the pur-
nose. Take il all in az. the English
press do not handle the leaders in the
hwomen s revolt with IS much eour-
lesy as tha. on this side the water.

French VS.. English GaIIantry.

FROM tnc ualaAy lOr oeptemDer.I
In comparison with the rude covering
with which the Briton clothes his acts,
the plant grace and kindly solicitude OF
the Gaul in presence of his fellow-men
compel admiration. Yet if one could
read the heart of this Briton, it would
perhaps be found that his sentiments OF
humanity are deeper than those of his
neighbor. The rudest husk sometimes
covers the sweetest kernel. When the
Gaul performs gallant act, he extracts
all the honey that is to be gotten out of
it. If he gives up his seat to a woman
which, by the way, he does not often do -
he takes off his hat and points to the
vacant place as if he were surrendering
an empire and inviting a queen to en-
throne herself thereon. If he hoists
her umbrella, it is as if he were spread
ing out the canopy of heaven over her
head. If he picks up fallen glove, he
offers it to the owner as if he were plac-
ing his sword and honor at her disposal
for the rest Of his life. If he quits her
at the foot Of stairway, he looks after
her as chamberlain of the court might
do when Her Majesty mounts the throne.
And in each instance the woman meets
him half way in grace and affability.
All this makes him happy. The con-
sciousness of having conducted himself
as chevalier without reproacb, the
probability Of having produced an inn
preston on the heart Of her whom he
has thus encountered, and the recollec-
ton of her enticing manner, bring rip
Piles of pleasure across his mind when
ever the scene recurs to him.

Gu.tave Dore at work.

Edward King, in Scribner, for September.l
Not far away, in the Rue Bayard, day
and night works Gustave Dore, now
painting, now rapidly sketching in his
great sketch-books the designs which are
to electrify the world. He is a little
man, with dense black hair and ruddy
complexion, with healthy chest and
sinewy arms, and with a conGding,
friendly manner, which at once wins
every one to him. His jet black mus
tache shades clear-cut and firm lips, in
dexes to character which has always
held him above the level of the grosser
Parisian temptations. His whole heart
and soul are in his work. He has had
lights specially prepared in his great,
rambling studio, SO that he may paint
when he desires, and at the very
moment that his admirers are swal-
lowing their nightcap cup Of cof-
fee, and stupidity gazing at the pro-
cession of painted beauties along the
Boulevard des Italiens, he is sketching
vigorously, or pacing up and down in
the studio, overmastered by some new
conception which he dare not yet confde
to paper. Dore has horror of the
French passion for holidays, and once
told friend that his severest trial was
on New Years Day. 1t is not the
money for the presents" he said, :" but
the time spent in this insane round of
calls, which / give grudgingly." When
once you have passed the Cerberus who
guards the gate of Dore's Paradise, you
will thenceforth have free entrance.

The London correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Commercial, writing on the
subject Of the British House Of Com
mons, says: There are few men, in
deed-somewhat over a dozen In the six
hundred and sixty-six-to whom one al
ways listens with intense interest. The
majority Of these are interesting chiefly
because they stand for great interests.
If Gladstone himself stood below the
gangway, and spoke for Gladstone alone,
be would be half the time accounted
dull. Disraeli and Lowe are almost the
only men in the House Who may be
called eloquent, Though Csrdwell some
times makes q telling speech. Bernsl
Osborne chiefly does up the fun Of the
House, though ho is sometimes assisted
by Knatchbull Hugessen. Bruce is q
good man, but heavy as lead. Bouyerie,
Hardy, are sggressively commonplace.
There are some Yigorous, Independent
liberals, such ss FaWceit, Peter Taylor
and Sir Charles Dixie, but the number
Of such is far less than in the days when
Bright and Golden sat side By side be-
