Creole Women.

The Creole woman is prettier than the
French woman. There is a climatic intlu-
ence in America which retines features and
give. deiicacy to the compile xion. This is
especially the case in Louisian a, where finely
formed women are often 70 und to be the
descendants of ignoble-look ing ancestors.
The light olive tint of the wom man seems to
have been painted over gr ound color Of
bushins lake, and this pink sh creaminess
of the skin saves it from dullne Sc and sallow-
ness. In a word, there is som ething OF that
transparency for which paint ers are always
seeking. She inherts from he mother over
the sea the physical char acterlstlcs OF
round limbs and delicate ext remitles, with
figure somewhat slighter- another effect
Of climate, also that sense of art With
which people are born, but can never en-
tirely acquire. From the same source
come her coquetry and her race of speech
and action, but modified. She does not
wear crude colors or awry sh apes, nor does
che express herself with uns eewly gesture
or discordant tones. Her d ress is rather
sombre than gay, and her ca rriage simple
and conventional-for they all walk alike.
Smoothness and graceful propriety are
bers. In a word there is an absence OF an
gles in her general conduct.

The Late j. Wesley Hill.

The St. Louis Joarno! publishes the fol
lowing sketch of the late actor, SO well
known and SO highly esteemed by our thea
tre going people:
The profession everywhere. and particu
larry here in the West. will regret the un.
timely decease Of J. Wesley Hill, the popu
Jar actor. Mr.. Hill has for several years
been afflicted with a painfll and dangerous
disease, yet his friends had reason to hope
and believe he would be spared for many
years. Returning to this city. however, a
few weeks since from an engagement in
the South. he was prOstrated by violent
attack OF the complaint with which he had
long been suffering, and after lingering
and painful illness, breathed his last yes.
terIay msrning, at his residence on Pine
street.
Mr.. Hin was bora on the thirty-fr.t Of
July. 1883, in GAINESVILLE, Ohio, and was the
son of q well-to-do farmer, who gave him
the advantage of good education, and
strict moral training. His mother gave
kim the name Of John Wesley. and it was
her fondest hope that he should become .
minister Of the gospel. The young man,
however, had found other aspirations. and
q. the age of seventeen, We hear of him as
playing leading parts in amateur the
a.ricals in Cincinnati. This may virtu-
ally be considered the turning point in
his life. From the moment he appeared
upon the stage in these amateur dramatic
performances, he was determined to follow
she profession OF an actor. At twenty
years of age he accepted an engagement at
Indianapolis. playing 'leading man" IN
standard comedy. His preferences soon in
duced him to abandon comedy for tragedy
Q mistake, we think, but then not so great
a. to very materially affect his reputation
"A an artist of sterling merit. Mr.. Hill sue
eesstully filed engagements in prominent
theatres throughout the West, and at the
time of his decease enjoyed fame which
has been accorded to few so young. lie
was for ten years stage manager of DeBar's
Opera House in this city, and what he has
done for the higher drama here can not
soon be forgotten.
II is not our intention 70 enter into an
elaborate discussion of Mr.. Hills ability in
his profession. We will simply say that he
was careful, conscientious, painstaking
actor and one who possessed, in no small
degree. talent and power His best efforts
we're Farmer Allen in the affecting drama
Of Dora and John Meelish in Aurora
Eloyd." The former was among the best
pieces Of character acting we have ever
witnessed. Mr. Hill acquired considerable
reputation in the Irish drama, but this line
Of the profession he abandoned early IN lie.
While the decease of this worthy man
will sensibly affect the profession at large,
there are others who, in this hour OF their
bereavement, will receive full measure OF
sympathy and coincidence: The loving
wife. who 60 tenderly and unremittinglyy
eoothed the pains of the stricken man and
aursed him to the very last-this is sad
and seemingly cruel dispensation to her.
But let this be consolation to her. that
his life was a fulfilling of high and noble
purpose, and having lived so pure and in
corrupt, he now rests from his iabOrs, la

Whereas On the other hand many fraudulent
Or at least. improper claims, have been in previous
years hurredly passed upon and provided tor in
various general appropriation bills; and
Whereas While j. is but Just that all legitimate

essential tha. claims of every description sho1ld
be carefully scrut tNzed before being passed uHon
and
whereas The ,aw makes it the duty Of the Au-

the State and make recommendations concerning
the same to the Legislature:
Now. therefore, in order to arrive at the true
