Visiting cards for this season are oil
the finest unglazed Bristol board, and a
little larger than formerly. Some are
in delicate tints. The shape is more
oblong than square. The London styles
for gentlemen are very small; those for
ladies, very large. When the words are
not printed on the corners of the cards,
turning them down in the following
order will denote the object of the call;
The right hand upper corner is used to
denote simple call or visit; the left
hand upper corner signifies congratula-
ton after weddings, engagements, etc.
The left hand lower corner is used for
coincidence, and the right hand lower
for visit previous to leaving town. 1t
is customary to have the words ciSite,
felicitation, condOleance and ddieu
printed on the reverse side Of the cor
ners. When leaving for a long journey
or voyage to the other side it is neces-
sary to send cards to friends with the
simple word congo, or P. P. c., in the
left hand lower corner.

pacities they we're extensively used

trees are not obtainable, two stoutish

CHICAGO, December 22.-ln accor'
dance with the programme adopted at
the workingmen's meeting held at Tur-
ner Hall last night, the Committee APP
pointed for that purpose went this
evening to the Council Chamber, escort
ed by an irregular procession, which
numbered by the time it reached the
City Hall perhaps three thousand per-
sons, and presented the resolutions
adopted at last nights meeting, asking
that the city give them work, or, in the
event Of being unable to do so, to fur
nish them and their families support I'M
til work could BIO obtained. The chair
man of the committee, T, A. Hoffman.
jr., young lawyer, made short speech
to the effect that the resolutions embod-
led all that the workingmen desired of
the city government, and asking Tor
their demands careful hearing.
The resolutions we're read and re-
ferred, after some discussion, to a spe.
cial committee, consisting of the Mayor,
Finance Committee and nine Aldermen,
three from each division of the city,
who will tomorrow have a conference
with a committee Of the workingmen,
appointed for that purpose.
Mayor Calvin made speech in reply
to the committee, assuring them Of his
sympathy with the class they repre-
sented, and Of his earnest desire to aid
them in any practicable way. The com
mittee then retired, and on reaching the
crowd outside, the chairman reported
the result of their visit to the Council,
and advised them to return to their
homes. The crowd large portion of
which appeared to have gathered more
out of curiosity than anything else, then
dispersed.

The American Girl.
From the Galaxy.l

From the HalaXy.I
The American girl is, like the rest of
the creations to which we have been re-
ferring, an ideal existence. The real
girl who has just returned from the
country, and is occupying herself with
preparations for the approaching winter,
is rot at all difficult to describe. She
is a girl of immense energy and but lit
tie physical strength. She has, if she
can be Judged by what she aecomplishes,
a noble digestion; or, perhaps, to be
more accurate, she has nobly triumphed
over her digestion, and reduced it to
complete submission. She is not highly
educated, nos does she speak all foreign
languages with smoothness and correct
idiom; indeed, she has been known to
play strange tricks with her own tongue.
She is lively, but not witty; she is fond
of laughing, without caring very much
at what she laughs; she is noisy and
loud when she dares to be. AS q
general rule she knows little or no
thing of those matters which used to be
considered essential parts of woman
education, and intends, if she is rich,
u nave uOuSehetpluR3 "hch OuSO ShC 10
married, done for her by some one else;
and if she is poor she does not think
about it any more than she can help.
Her notions about marriage itself are a
curious mixture Of ideas derived from
novels, poems and such acquaintance
with the world as girls get from the
conversation of young men who dance
the German with them through the win
ter, and walk on the cliffs at Newport
with them in the summer. Her life, IL
she is rich, is in general one Of thought
less pleasure; if she is poor, her horizon
is filled with the mirage Of what she
might be if she were only rich. She
has 10 her mind an ideal husband, whom
usually she does not marry. But the
ideal American girl-we will not pro-
fame the memory of the happy age
when all the world believed in her ex-
istence. by cynical comparison.
