THE Washington correspondent of
the Cincinnati Times writes, Jan. Is.
"Caleb Cushing says that. in defer
ence TO the Presidents wish, he viii
not resign the Spanish mission. His
departure, which was fixed forthe oath,
has been postponed, and he viii not sail
until instructed by the State Depart
ment. The intention is to retain him
here until the Spaniards have estab-
hshed some permanent form Of govern
ment."

the passing word for this man or that,
unconsciously refresh and lift him from
the cankering care OF the work. She
has the parlor, the dining room, the
kitchen, TO shut her into it, day after day,
year after year. Women without a
single actual grief in the world, grow
morbid and ill-tempered' simply from
living indoors, and resort to prayer to
conquer their crossness, when they only
need walk of couple of miles, or some
wholesome amusement. 1t is a natural
craving for this ecessity-amusemen
which drives them to the tea-psrties and
sewing-circles which men ridicule as
absurd and tedious.
There is no reason why our women,
who are notably rational and shrewd in
the conduct of the working part Of life,
should cut themselves off thus irration-
ally from the necessary relaxation, or
make it either costly or tedious. Let
every mother of family who reads
Scribner resolve not to put off her holi-
days until old age, but to take them all
along the way, and to bring a good share
of them ints this winter. Let her give
no ball, no musical evenings, no hot,
perspirine tea parties, but manage TO
have her table always prettily served and
comfortably provided, and her welcome
ready for any friend who may come to
it.; let her set apart an evening, If pos
sible, when her rooms shall be open to
any pleasant friend who will visit her;
the refreshment TO be Of the simplest
kind; and, above all, if the table chance
moi m he wall served or the friends are
not agreeable, let her take the mishap as
jest, and meet all difficulties with an
easy good humor, 1t is not necessary to
take every bull Of trouble by the horns;
if we welcome and nod to them as to
cheerful acquaintances they will usually
trot by on the other side of the road.
Let her take our prescription for the
winter, and our word for it the spring

"The camel"

The London Globe says: For the
last few years the milliner's idea has been
To dress her customers as much like men
as possible, to give them stand up collars
and leather belts, to arm them with um-
brellas hanging from the waist as if they
we're swords, 10 supply them with gentle
mems watch pockets, and gentlemen S
watch chains. Even in fashion the world
must advance, and the move for the COM
ing winter is decidedly a move forward
Fashionable ladies, who have been dress
ed ike men, must now dress like wild
animals. All the tissues are to resemble
furs, aud as few years ago young ladies
were said to wear Dolly Vardens, so now
they will put on their esmels. That
is the generic name by which the PARIS
ian modisteg have called the years ia
brics, though of course there is variety
allowed, and young lady may appear
as a reindeer, as a bear, as q northern
elk-in fact, as any rough.skinned ami
NAL she may select. But it is necessary
thet the skins should consist OF as teW
pieces as p0ssible The camel aud a
collar which will be known in
the fashionable world as dog s
collar will complete the costume.
But this new invention Of the French
dress-makers has not 80 muoh original
ity after all. The idea is merely a de-
velopment Of the Ulster great coat,
which was borrowed a couple Of years
ago from the Irish peasantry. This de-
sire for the toughest materials and the
rudest make has produced already
strange results. in Switzerland Eng,
lshmen are dressed so like guides that
| is difficult to distinguish them Even
at Brighton the taste for walking-stieks

Easv On Women,

Women are like everything else in this
world--a very mixed up affair. Accord
ing to our own observation there are
| Women good and women bad,
| Women gay and women sad,
| Women big and women small,
Women snort and women tall,
Women fat and women lean,
Women sweet and women mean,
Women young and women old,
Women bought and women sold,
Women poor and women rich,
And a good many more women sich.
The first woman in the world was Eve.
Eve was bad girl She didn't belong
TO the Good Templars. Eve liked apple
cider too well-she wanted hers dry.
We never saw Eve, but they say she was
a pretty girl. Her fellow was chap by
the name of Adam. We never went to
school with him. Eve was like the rest
of her sisters; just tell her not TO do a
thing, and she would be sure to do it.
Eve must have been a country girl. She
didn't care much for fashion, and she
made her own clothes, without sewing
machine. She would be rather behind
times should she visit us now
Some women are very pretty. We
don't like pretty women-thefe are
always SO many fellows around them.
They remind US of lot of flies on a
molasses stick. We like the molasses,
| but-bother the flies.
Good women are plenty 'in this coun-
try, but they never will tell you OF It,;
you have got to trail EN- out yourself.
Bad women are everywhere. They
are like rotten apples in barrel of good
ones-apt to throw their decsyed inhu-
ence around them. They will always
try to make you believe they are good.
Don't take bad woman. She is coun-
terfeit treasure. Look out for trade
mark.
Gay women are jolly fellows-slwsys
on laugh. They make you feel good
clear to your sleeve buttons.
A sad woman ought to wear specta-
cles with pink colored glasses in them.
in different light.
We don't know that we like big wo-
man better than little one. If she is
SO big that step ladder is required to
kiss her, we most respectfully decline in
favor Of the small one. AS we reflect
further on this subject, we come to the
conclusion that the small ones are al
ways preferable. They have tendency
to hang themselves-around fellows
and we want to furnish material for a
hanging post
We hate a mean woman. We feel like
SAYING deliver us from evil when we
see one. But give US a sweet woman
one of natures own children-with rosy
cheeks and loving eyes; with a noble
heart, high toned mind, a pure soul
and healthy body, refined in taste, de-
veloped in intellect be she poor or rich,
Young or old, large or small, to such a
one we could say, Fly into our arms,
darling, we love you.

A Western editor has put into practice
plan which will enable all papers to
dispense with the usual fighting member
of the staff. One morning he was waited
upon by the biggest kind of fellow
armed with terrific cudgel with several
and sundry protuberances sticking out
all round marvelously resembling Colts
derringers and bowies, who salnted him
with: Where's that scoundrel the
editor2" Our friend said He is not
about, but please take a seat and amuse
yourself with paper; he will be in in a
few minutes, and hurried down stairs,
at the foot of which he met another man
still more profane and fierce, who asked
the same question in the same language.
"Oh, said the retreating editor, 60 up
stairs; you will find him reading the pa
per" Accordingly, up be went like a
high.pressure steam engine, letting of
steam at every step. Our friend waited
few minutes, and such crash-as if
all pandemonium was let loose. What
the result was was never known, as our
friend didn't wait.
