A Western paper explains Joaquin Mil
ler's frenzied style by saying that be has
had three wives. Some men die under it,
and some 90 crazy and write poetry.
The local of the Savannah, Ga, Neaos,
contributes this paragraph to the current
Ii erature of the age: "An outer garment
called the s'Galitzin" is much admired BY
ladies'. As general thing the masculine
fraternity admire the gal that'sin it."
An Indiana paper tells of woman living
In that State whose suit for divorce lad

of patience, who burst into her LAWYERS
Office last week, her face radiant with ioy,

Some newspaper wretch who deserves to
have every hair in bis head pu led out by a
picked battalion of downtrodden women,
demonstrates the depths of depravity TO
which some men descend, by the publica-
ton of the following: "The following are
the reasons why a ship is called she: They
are useless without employment, they bring
| news from abroad, they wear caps and bon
nets, they are put in stays, they are often
| painted, and man never knows the ex-
pense till he gets one."
The ingenuity of tho average young lady
| of this Gland of The free, and home of the
brave, is simply marvellous. An exchange
knows of one who is charged with keeping
a light burning in the parlor until very late
on Sunday night in order to harrow the
sensitive feelings of an envioUs neighbor
| into the belief that she has really got beau.
The hen-pecked Benedict of the St Louis
! Journal was In reflective mood, and his
mind W. s filed with bitter regrets and use-
less repinings when he wrote this paragraph:
"Ihe price of the marriage license has been
reduced % cents in Iowa, and now stands
at S1.25, which is cheap enough. Still, a
man can get into trouble 10 other ways for
less money.

"Well, Urcle SAM" said he edo you see
any difference in Mr.. P, since he Joined
the church," sob yes," said Uncle Sam,
ga great difference. Before, when he went

A correspondent of the Chicago Times
pay this tribute to the worth of Mrs. John
A. Logan, whose influence as tactician it
is conceded secured for her husband the
| Senatorial nomination from Illinois: "In
many respects, and while she insists that
she has no interest in politics and never in
terferss with political affairs, it is notable
fact that no man in theUnion owes more to a
wife for bis continued promotions than does
John a. Logan. Mrs. Logan's whole am
bitioa is in her husbands success. With all
the tact, skill and courtesy of prominent
woman, she combines the graces of bril-
| liant lady. She is pleasant, witty, shrewd,
| and has the rare power of being able TO i'm
press the rural legislator with the idea that
she is on perfect familiarity with him, while
| at the same time she manages to so preserve
her DIGNITY as to keep constantly conscious
| of the fact that she is not a familiar &C
| quaintance. Before one leaves Mrs Logan's
| company, Il is difficult to be wholly free
| from the enthusiasm with which she is filled
concerning her husband"
"They are met with amid the clangor of
machinery; they are encountered around the
| fountain, lingering amid the marble MIN
icry of their own peculiar grace; they are
| found in the galleries, lowering like tinted
| birds around the sheen of the ladies' de-
partmenti they float through the art gal
| lery and drive the mind and heart from the
grandess conceptions of the masters, and
| suggest the beautiful tr IditiOn of the origin
of art-the impulse of the Greek maiden to
catch the shsdowy semblance Of human
beauty and symmetry reflected on wall
which a lover had left in passing. For one
can turn from the fixed beauties of the can
vas, still and vo!celess, and delight himself
in glowing, animated forms of beauty,
which fit ever and aDon before him. Theirs
peerless Kentucky blonde (and what
blondes are like them?) like glorifed lily,
leans over the dewy foliage about the fOun-
tain and reproduces Hebe again and again"
That's what a Courier Journal reporter
wrote about the Louisville gir,s attending
the Exposition in that city. His proprietors
read his article next morning With tears n
their eyes, and they said twas pity that
youth of such delicate and sensitive organi-
zstion should g subjected TO daily contact
with cold, sordid natures, so they had a
nice glass case made and put him in it, aud
they think that if they are careful with him
they can carry him through the fall and en-
suing winter all right.
