The Creole woman is prettier than the
French woman. There is O climatic in.
fuence in America which refiues features
and gives delicacy to the complexion.
This is especially tho case in Louisiana,
where finely formed women are often
found to be the descendants of iguoble
looking ancestors. The light olive ii n.

and this pinkish creaminess of the skin
saves it from dullncss and sallowness.
In word, there is something of that
transparency for which painters arc
always seeking.
She inherits from her mother over the
sea the physical characteristics of round
limbs and delicate extremities, with a
figure something slighter-another
effect of climate, also that sense of art
with which the people are born, but can
never entirely acquire. From the same
source come her coquetry aud her grace
of speech and action, but modified. She
does not wear crude oolors or awry
shapes; nor does she express herself
with unseomly gesture or discordant
tones, Her dress is rather sombre than
gay, ant her carriage simple and conven-
tional-tor :hey all walk alike. Smooth
ness and graceful propricty arc hers. In
word there is an absence of angles in
her general conduct Galary.

Back Pay Men Asking for More.

The Washington correspondents of the
western newspapers discuss the organiza
ton of the Forty-third Congress with
great freedom. They generally agree
that the movement against the re-elec-
ton of Speaker Blaine is largely in the
interest of combinations to obtain
chairmanships of committees or minor
offices. Nearly all the western Republi.
can journals confirm this view editorial
ly, and predict Mr.. Blaine's reelection.
Colonel Ordway will find some opposition
to his reelection as Sergeant-at-Arms. !;
Colonel A. HI. Markland of Kentucky,
and Ex-Congressman Legrand w. Perce,
of Mississippi. are mentioned as candi-
dates. As the closing act of Perce's Con
gressional life was to accept the back
pay, his chance ought with little hope OF
overcoming the machinery of organiza-
ton. In this city the Republicans are
riding the hobby of Reform, while their
leaders wink at the disgracetul doings OF
their fellows in the country.-N. Y. Zee.

The Reign of Autumn.
BY ALICE CARY.

BY ALICE CARY.
The rust is over the red of clover.
The green is under the gray
And down the hollow, the feet-winged swallow
Is flying away and away.
Fled are the roses, dead are the roses,
The glow and the glory done,
And down the hollow, the steel-winged swallow
Flying the way of the sun.
In place of Summer, a dread newcomer
His solemn state renewS;
A crimson splendor, instead of the tender
Daisy, and the darling dewS.
But Oh the sweetness, the full completeness
That under his reign are born!
Russet and yellow in apples mellow,
And wheat and millet and corn.
His frosts so hoaTy, touch with q glory
Maple and oak and thorn
And rising and falling, his winds are calling
Like hunter through a horn.
No thrifty sower, but just mower,
That comes when he is done,
With warmth a-beaming and gold a-gleaming
Like sunset after the sun.
And while fair weather and frost together
Color the woods so gay,
We must remember that chill December
Has turned his steps this way.
And say, as gather the house together,
And pile the logs the hearth,
Help to follow the light little swallow,
Fen to the ends of the earth.

about State rights and centralizatlon. 1t
saws, however, that it stands by its prin-
ciples. Very well: its principles upon
this subject were formerly the Virginia
and Kentucky resolutions. Does the
party stand by them, or are they dead
issuesP'
The only persons who ''stand by" Dem
ocratic principles are Mr. Alexander II.
Stephens and his friends in the Southern
States. They continue to declare them
fairly and forcibly Those principles
were stirmatized by the war as unsound
and intolerable; and the war therefore
made the Democratic organization super
fiuous and impertinent Its present po-
sition is that of political body which
has either renounced its principles or
has seen them loathed and repudiated
hv the country, but which coheres by
long association and by the hope of
power and patronage. But it can obtain
power only by reason of general con-
viction that Republican administration
has become corrupt.
The result in Ohio shows merely Re-
publican indignation with the salary
grab and the Credit Mobilier, and is
greatly due to the panic and the failure
Of houses especially associated with the
administration 1t is, in fact, serious
warning to the Republican press and pol
iticians that there is great dissatisfaction.
and that the party action must be free
from suspicion or reproach. For if the
Democratic party has no principles and
no policy to propose, it is not to be for
gotten that the principles of the Repub-
lican party have become the policy of
the government, and that its declared
purposes are in course of accomplishment
Public attention, therefore. will be more
and more concentrated upon honesty OF
administration. There will be much
greater impatience of looseness and doubt
full conduct than when great interests of
civil and personal liberty, and the ma
tional existence itself, were at stake
The ordinary party appeal is becoming
much more ineffective than for the last
dozen years. But whatever elections the
Democrats may carry this year, there
need be no fear of Democratic reaction
in the country if Republican candidates
and details of administration every where
are such as the better sentiment of the
party demands.

Now that the Democrats have carried
the Legislature, in both branches. the
"hungry men, of the party are coming to
the front to claim the petty offices at its
disposal If there is nything more dis
gusting than this scramble in politics we
have failed to notice it and fervently
hope that we may never be called upon
to behold it. The first ray of success had
hardly flashed over the wires, before the
score of barnacles who infest Columbus
popped up like jumping jacks and began
to divide and parcel out the fat places
among themselves, and now come the
country papers teeming with fulsome
puffs of this and that individual for the
same positions. This thing occurs every
time the Democrats carry the Legisla-
ture, and so inordinately rapacious and
ravenous are these aspirants, hundreds OF
Democrats recollecting the disgraceful
grabs of former years remain away from
the polls and entail defeat upon the
party to prevent its repetition.-W West

At the Window.
BY MARY E. ATKIsoN.

Behind the purple islands
The sun had sunk to rest;
But floods of gold and crimson
Still glorified the west.
And at the western window,
With baby on my knee,
] sat to watch the splendor
And let dear baby see.
His soft hand clasped my finger,
He sat erect and still;
A strange, sweet awe and wonder
His spirit seemed to fill,
AS if he heard God speaking
From out the glowing skies.
And all the soul was listening
In his large lustTous eyes,
I've often seen men hearken
For Gods great words of grace
With far less serious feeling
Than lit the baby's face.
What solemn sense of grandeur
Within the small mind wrought?
How did the far-off beauty
Impress the baby thought?
No word of mine could reach him,
He faced that light alone,
AS if before him glistened
The steps of Gods white throne.
And in that infant presence
My thoughts with reverence trod |;
/ saw his angel looking
Upon the face of God!
All! Lord, who lowest children,
Thou talkest to our child,
From out Thy crystal heavens
Thy face on HIM hath smiled.
o let its brightness never
Be hidden from his eyes
Thy tender love illume
His pathway to the skies!
