A REIGNING BEAUTY.

The BeIle OF ROme-A loud" Or.
naInemt of the Austrian ArfstOc.
rncy.
Rome Letter to the Philadelphia Bulletin.
The reigning beauty for the moment
in Rome is an Austrian Princess Furs-
tenburg-a great huge, dark woman,
with mane-like, black hair, huge coitiure,
great black eyes, rich skin, heroic fea.
lures, and Venus of Milo form. Loud "
in dress aud manners and voice, you
can hear her laugh and words three
great salons off. How | rejoice she is
not one of my country-women This
Princess came to Rome shifting at the
Quirinal, for her politics are as black as
her hair and eyes. Her uncle is dis
tinguished prelate at the Vatican, so for
n while her Serene Highness intended
to sport only in Black waters. But as
she belongs to the tribe who care only
to amuse themselves, without regard to
principles or opinions, aud finding the
gayest people in Rome are the Bianchi,
or Whites, she showed her fine fins in
simmer streams. But she never asked
TO be presented at the Quirinal. At the
Duchess St. Arpino's last ball this Aus
trian Nera came in the presence OF the
Princess Marguerite. This was embar-
RAISING, but the clever woman Of the So
ciety world thought to turn it to her
advantage. She could seize the chance
to be presented formally, and save herself
the notoriety of a regular court presenta-
tion. So she sent some one to ask the
Princess Marguerite to allow her to be
presented then and there. Now, the
gentlest and sweetest Of women 'is this
same Princess Marguerite of Savoy; but
there are times when she stands most
pettily on dignity, and this was one.
aThs Princess of Furstenburg has
been in Rome two weeks said the
Princess Marguerite, seriously. She
has never paid me the compliment OF
call at the Quirinal, where | shgll be
most happy to receive her; therefore. l
do not think 7 ought to make an excep'
ton in her favor"
The next day the Frinaess Fursten-
burg sent in request for an sEdience
through the proper channel, was pre-:
sented on Wednesday morning, and
danced with Prince Humbert at the
OuirinaI ball in the evening. Prince
Humbert admires her Serene Highness
greatly; she is jGst after his style.

A New York writer on fashion says;
The number Of our prematurely gray
young women in the streets, dressed in
the hight Of fashion, and stylish, attracts
attention. The hair is not powdered or
frosted. but is really gray. One would
hardly credit the fact, but fact il is,
that q chemical process is resorted to, to
bleach the hair white. The reign of the
blonde is over, and the old term tow
head passes from r0om TO room. Golden
locks are at a discount. Raven tresses
are vulgar, aud snowy hair is the style.
The highest priced wigs are gray, and
not black or auburn. Such is the tyr
amy of fashion, that young girls with
black and auburn hair are crazy to have
bleached head. r.

als IpEAL oF A STATESMAN.

4
During one of his juvenile candida
lures at sWycombe, Mr.. Disralei made
the following remarks, which seem TO
contain and compress the plan of his
political life, and form an ingenious
apology for political inconsistency:
1.-THE truth is, statesman is the
creature Of his age, the child of circum.
stances, the creature of his times. A
statesman is essentially practical
character, and when he is called upsn
to take office he is not to inquire what
bis opinions might or might not have
been upon this or that subject; he is
only to ascertain the needful and the
beneficial, aud the most beneficial man
ner in which affairs are TO be carried on.
laugh at the objections against a man
that at former period of b career be
advocated policy different to his pres
ent one. All ! seek TO ascertain is,
whether bis present policy be Just, nee
essary, expedienti whether st the pras
ent moment he is prepared TO serve the
coEptgy seeaFding to us present neees-
sltleH.

HIS QUARREL WITH ocoNNELL.


Disraelis quarrel with 0'Connell forms
a notable event in his career. Speaking
at Taunton, he recanted his Radical
faith. and made Connell the special
object of attack, using with unspariug
prolusion the epithets "incendiary,' y
"traitor," liar in action and word, y
Shortly after, 0'Connell, in the course Of
one OF his Cancellation Hall addresses,
retorted on his assailant. The following
is the final and most piquant passage of
O'Connell's pungent attack:
There is a habit of undertaking that
great and oppressed nation, the Jews.
They are cruelty prosecuted by people
calling themselves Christians. :
have the happiness to be acquainted
with some Jewish families in London,
and among them more accomplished
ladies, or more humane, cordial, high
minded or better educated gentlemen
never met. 1t will not be supposed,
therefore, that when speak Of Disraeli
as the descendant of Jew ! mean to
tarniSh him on that account They
were once the chosen people of God.
There we're miscreants among them,
however, also, and it must certainly be
from one of these that Disraeli de-
scended He processes just the quail
ties of the impenitent thief who died
upon the cross, whose name / verify be-
lieve must have been Disraeli. For
aught know the present Disraeli is de-
scended from him, and with the impress
sion that he is, | now forgive the heir-at-
law of the blasphemous thief who died
upon the cross"
Disraeli was greatly irritated by this
attack, sent challenge to O'Conn0lps
son Morgan, and made bitter reply in
the LoRdon Times.
HIS ATTITUDE DURING OUR CIVIL WAR.
1t is observed of Mr.. Disraeli that he
was the only public man in England who
had ever held considerable official sta
ton who did not either predict Or pub
iicly desire the suopess of the Southern
Co1federacY. AanY-ana among them
the very foremost of the Liberal states
men-WeFe betrayed into uttering ex-
pressions during the war which they
would have given much to revoke utter
the fall of Richmond aud the surrender
of Lee. Mr.. Disraeli avoided this error.
His silence was taken in most quarters
