Disraeli's Appearance.


This great conservative leader, in whose
hands has been reposed all tho material
interests Of the church and aristocracy is
anything but the type of an Englishman.
He is tall and rather broad-shouldered
man-though otherwise not of stout build
with slight stoop, of very sphynx-
like head, which is surrounded by dark and
elf-like locks; sallow complexion and a
dreamy expression; a long and shayen
upper lip, closely shaven whiskers and an
imperial His walk is more like that Of a
dancing master than of genuine John
Bull, his toes evidently doing much more
work than his heel. A hearty, joyous
laugh from him would seem to be impossi-
BILE; but there is frequentlya very sardonic
smile upon the face of this master of irony.
Whatever may be his religious yiews--and
they appear from some of his novels to be
singular mixture of Christianity and
Judaism-he is the first of the Hebrew
race who has attained the proud position Of
premier of England, and he is equally
proud of the favored people. s59

s Wet the Ropes"

That some things shrink after they have
been washed, and that others expand is well
known, but the cause of this requires ex-
PLANTATION. If we take q new rope, ten feet
or more long, and fix one end of it across
beam, and to the other end attach a heavy
weight, and so stretch the rope till the
weight just rests upon the ground, the
weight. if the rope be we'll saturated with
water, will be raised from the ground SIM
ply by the shrinking of the rope. The
following statement is an illustration of the
fact: The Chevalier Fontana undertook to
raise an obelisk at Rome. While the stone
was suspended in the air, just over the
pedestal, the ropes stretched SO much by
its weight that the base of the obelisk could
not reach the pedestal, and the work was
about to be given over, when {. man among
the crowd called out {. Wet the ropes"
This advice was followed, and the column
was seen gradually to rise to tie required
hight. and was then placed upon the PEDESTAL
where it now stands in front of st. Peters.
This obelisk is now known as erected by
Pope sexfus. In the shrinking Of various
cloths it should be remembered that they
are made up of small cords which contract
by moisture, more particularly when wetted
for the first time, both in wrap and weft,
that is, i'll length and breadth. Paper, with
/ flaments in all directions is forced asundel
| by the introduction of water among It'll
| pore !. On this account the wet side viii

of dry wood, driven into clefts Of stone

POETRY.
WICKED JIM.
a Temperance Rhapsody.


There were madens ancient and gaunt ard grim,
And maidens of fairer face
There were angular women, with optics dim,
And women with eyes ablaze;
There were men of soap-locks and am'rous lee-,
And men ont of elbows and knees,
(The shepherds were those of such goodly cheer.
And the drunkards reformed were these.)
Besieged the saloon of "The Laden yine''
OF a wicked old sinner called Jim,
And they ranged themselves up in dolorous line,
And they sang him dolorous hymn
"You're sinner" they sang, "you're naughty old
man,
For your wickedness you must atone,
You're toper.terrifc; you're under BAN"
(And the shepherds came in with groan.l
Their faces were long as the moral law
And their metre was longer still.
With tireess lungs and tireless jaw,
They sang with right good wall;
You're brand to be pucked, you're sheep astray,
But there's hope for sinner yet;
Reform and return to a better way,
And sweeter reward you'll get"
And the hardened sinner who Sc name was Jim,
The host of 1.-The Laden Vine"
Was melted to tears by the warming hymn,
And he emptied the rosy wine
And the yellow rum and the pearly gin,
Rare Bourbon and Old Rye,
From cask and bottle aud crowded bin
In the gutter lying by.
He closed the doors of his wicked den,
He senced mis- jeering laugh,
A I'd donncd a sober garb and then
Had taken his photograph
Which he sold abroad, and the "wckcdest man
Abundance of money made,
And now he works on the moral plan
And Is fully convinced it's paid.
He has upright views and store of Pef,
And soberly walks Crack
A hummer no more; he's shepherd himself
Round belly and spreading back
A shining light unto those who fall
No better 'twixt here and Rome
He tpples more abroad at all,
But relies a mo n home

ANEcDoTE OF BISMARCK AT SADowA.--
Waiting on the field Of Sadowa while the
Issue of the day was uncertain, and when
nothing but the arrival of the crown prince
could decide the victory. he drew a match
and lighted cigar. When the cigar was
half ended the princes vanguard was sig
nailed in the distance, and the minister
turning to a friend said: "a few minutes
ago the span Of my life was no longer than
this cigar, if the prince bad not arrived by

talked of suicide: more fanafieal enc

4 Blissful Shave.


The golden age has come at last Bliss
turks in the deadly razor and dances in the
romantic lather cup. The, coming woman
is to shave-not herself but man. Indeed
she has already come, and she shayeth in
West Fourth street New York. A reporter
of the New York San, in the pursuit Of his
calling, called upon the fair enshayer, and
laid his reportorial head upon the block.
He describes, with imaginative grace and
with the soap-suds of elegant embellish-
lnent, the beauty of her hair, which was
the color of a Mesina lemon, and rose, ter
race upon terrace, from a frowsy little
hedge to mountain. Need we say she
was 25 and pretty ''Will you haf re shave
| or re hair cut? said she with bewitching
smile. .'Shave," said he, with that deli
cate grace which sits upon the reportorial
| cheek. She laid his massive brow softly
| on the guillotine, took out a razor, and
began to stir up the lather in a fancy cup.
She bent over him; her breath and the
soap-suds fell softly over his face, and she
said not word upon the weather. Still
she smiled, and he stammered forth some
thing about the atmosphere. Exeoose
me, said the barberess,; 81 am SO sorry"
/ (suds in mouth) :. but vat for you open
your mout p Her hand was plump and
smooth, and fell upon his hirsute stubble
like the polish of a nutmeg crater, with a
satin ring. He felt that he could lie there
and be lathered for the rest of his life, which
is scarcely to be wondered at when one con-
siders the disagreeable things a Sun report
er has generally to lie upon. But the largest
face viii too soon be lathered, and the hair
will vanish from the most colossal of chins
It was finished, and with sigh the Sun
reporter vowed he would come. in there
twice day as long as he lived. It was a
dream of bliss cut off to soon; a 'ssoup y
critic whose joy was all too suddenly
brushed away.
i. MEXICAN MANxERs-A writer in the
City of Mexico says: / doubt if any capital
in the world contains SO many handsome
women and wealthy gentlemen, Or has so
many poor. hideous-looking people. Like
all Spanish towns the rich are very rich,
and the poor very poor. The wealthy are
handsomely, tastefully, and fashionably at
tired; while those of the middle class affect
the ehiyalrous dress of old Castile-clotl
Jackets with metallic buttons, gaudy sashes
sombreros with embroidered bands, an6
gold and silver clasps down the outer seaml
of the pat,taloons. The women promenade
with no head dress, their faces being pro
r tected from the sun by parasols, which the.
!. coquettishly carry. From ten to tWelr'

and the shops arc crowded until four Q

ride slowly around mounted ON super

covered with elegant trappings.

TOPICS OF THE TIMES.

Colonel John S. Mosby is finally ''in the
hands of his friends" and has consented to
be candidate for Congressional honors at
the next election. So says the Warrenton
(Virginia) correspondent of an Alexandria
paper, which says: eve are satisfied of
one thing; that if Colonel Mosby were
returned to Congress he would be of much
more real service to this district and the
Southern people than any other man we
could select" The correspondent thinks
Mosby can be easily Observation-Disclosures

A Relic of Colonel Baker.

The unfortunate E. d. Baker was unques-
tionably one of the most fervid and eloquent
speakers this country has ever produced.
The writer heard him only once, but the
remembrance of his silvery tones, lofty
periods, and grand perorations, still sur
wives, like memory of sweet melody
executed by a master hand. It is not
generally known, however, that he was a
poet of rare beauty and grace, as we'll as an
orator of almost unequaled power. The
wife of John W. Forney has in her album a
very beautiful specimen from his pen,
written but few days before the unfortu-
nrte engagement which resulted in his
death. We believe it has never been pub
lished. The following is the poem:
To- WAVE.
post thou seek Il star, with thy swelling crest
Oa wave that leayest thy mothers breast?
Dost thou leap from thy prisoned depths below,
In scorn of their calm and constant Rowe
Or, art thou seeking some distant land,
To die in nurnurs the strand?
Hast thou tales to tell Of the pearI-lit deep,
Where the wave-ws dawn prr,sur,
Ere the roll of theft thunder in echo diedf
What trophies, what banners are floating free
In the shadowy depths of that silent sea
Il were vain to ask. as thou rolest atar,
Of banner, mariner, ship, star;
1t were vain to seek in thy stormy face
Some tale Of the sor1owful past to trace
TLou ait swelling high thou art flashing free
How vain are the questions we ask OF thee
]. too, SIN wave on stormy sea:
!, too, am w9tndercr driven like thee; t.
l, too, am seeking distant land
To be lost and gone ere reach the strand;
For the land see is n wayeless shore.
And they who once reach it shall wander no more

Incidents of the English Election.

Among the curiosities of the late Parlia-
mentary election, not less strange than the
strange desertion of Mr.. Gladstone by the
Welsh, is the Fl ckleness of several constitll-
encies. The most noteworthy instance of
the uncertainty Of public opinion regarding
the fitness of candidates is found in the
Scotch county of Renfrewshire, where Col.
Campbell, the Conservative candidate, was
defeated by his Liberal opponent, although
it is hardly five months since he was return
ed to Parliament by majority nearly dou-
BILE that polled in favor of the last success
full contestant. When it is remembered
that the Renfrewshire election took place
after the defeat of the Liberal party in
England was virtually declared, and when
we are told that tho olcctioit of last falI cost
Col. Campbell $50 there is only one
inference possible: the recent election must
have cost Colonel Mure something more
than $4,000. Mr.. Gladstone's coup was
rather hard upon the Conservative Colonel,
for the bare privilege of writing M. P.
after ones name for a few months, without
the opportunity of casting single vote or
making maiden speech, can hardly be
said to be worth the price paid for it.
'sSuch instances of exceeding fickleness,"
naiyely says the Pail Nall Gazette, s.were
unknown before the introduction of the
ballot

Nor A GossIP. Scandal would be rare if
everybody were like the Mohammedan
official to whom Mr.. Layard, the Eastern
explorer, wrote for some statistics of the
city in which he lived. The officials reply
ran as follows:

Lioer.-The thing you ask of me is both
difficult aud useless. Although | have
passed all my days in this place, have
neither counted the houses nor have | in-
quired into the number of inhabitants; and,
as to what one person loads on his mules,
and the other slows away in the bottom of
his ship, this is no business of mine But,
above all, as to the previous history of this
city, God only knows the amount of filth
and confusion the infidels may have eaten
before the coming Of the sword Of Islem.
