FINGER NAILS.

If finger tips have language of their own,
SO have the nails, and the manner of keeping
them is as eloquent as all the rest. Some
keep them long and pointed, like reminiscent
ces of claws; others bite theirs close to the
quick; some pare and trim and scrape and
polish up to the highest point of artificial
beauty; and others, carrying the doctrines of
nature to the outside limit, let them grow
wild, with jagged edges, broken tracts, and
tagnails or "black friend" as the agonizing
consequences. Sometimes you see the most
beautiful nails pink, transparent filbert-
shaped, with the delicate, filmy, little "half-
moon" indicated at the base-all the condi-
tons of beauty carried to perfection, but all
rendered of no avail by dirt and slovenliness
while others, thick, white-ribbed, square,
with no half-moon, spotted like SO many cir
Gus horses with "gifts ana "friends and
the like--that is, without beauties and with
out positive blemishes-are yet pleasant to
look at for the care bestowed on them, their
dainty perfection of cleanliness being charm
in itself
Nothing. indeed, is more disgusting than
dirty hands and neglected nails, as nothing
gives one such sense of freshness and care
as the same members we'll kept. But one of
the uglest things in nails is when they are
bitten; which, to judge by what one sees, is a
habit having irresistible destinations for those
given over to it. It is an action, by the way,
that has more than one significance. 1t may
mean consideration, doubt, hesitancy; or it
may mean anger or annoyance; or, as habit,
it may point out to the remote possibility OF
madness. In any case it is ugly to look at,
and worse than ugly in its results; bare
finger tips, with the protecting cover gnawed
to the bleeding fesh,i belong to the list of
things mutilated and wilfully spoiled-there-
fore, taken out of the category of things ugly
by nature, hence misfortunes for which the
sufferer is in nowise accountable.

Languor and debility relieved and cured
by using Marsden's Zarsaparilla.

A new style of sleeping car-the Mann bou-
doir-has been introduced with success in
Great Britain. The carriage, instead of con-
sisting of one grand saloon like the Pullman
cars, is divided into small compartments
design which Col Mann probably thinks will
appeal to the Englishman's love of seclusion.
The boudoirs are fitted up for either four or
two individuals, the sleeping berths, like
those of saloon steamer, being placed enc
over another. The steps by which the upper
sleeper mounts to his couch serve i, the day
time as a handy little table, at which the pas
senger can write comfortably, and the lower
berths make admirable sofa chairs
The operation Of bed-making, by the most
simple aud ingenious of processes, can be
performed in a couple of minutes. When the
passenger is tired of his we'll carpeted and
upholstered private room, he may stroll up
and down the corridors, in which there are a
refreshment bar and lavatories. Electric
bells are at the disposal of each passenger,
who by them can summon an attendant,
whose special duty it is to wait upon the &C.
cupants of the cars. The beds, it should be
mentioned, are placed across the carriage, an
arrangement that prevents rolling. This, to-
gether with the smallness and privacy OF the
compartments, constitutes the chief specially
Of the Mann as distinct from other sleeping
cars.

He was exceedingly particular about his
person, and fond of dressing with great care
and displaying the Jewels due to the hberality
of princes. His father used to laugh at HIM
for his coquetry in this respect, and Clementl
who did not know hip, when they met for
the first time at the imperial court, took him
for majordomo Of the palace, SO elegantly
was he attired. His imagination never
rested. For this reason he preferred bodily
exercises which do not require the assistance
of the intelligence and whish do not inter
rupt the train of ideas. He was fond OF riding
on horseback and of morning took long
equestrian excursions which his absence OF
mind rendered dangerous if his steed was shy
or badly trained. At Prague, while writing
his "Don Giovanni" he was fond Of playing
at skittles in his friend Dussek's garden.

dancing, which he studied very successfully.

incompatible style. He boosted, moreover,

The readers Of "Off the Skelligs" will
doubtless recall the pure delight they expe.
rienced IN the perusal of that genuine, fresh,
healthy story, one of the most charming ever
written, though the first novel from the pen
OF one whose name had previously been asso-
ciated almost exclusively with verse "Fated
to be Free" is connected with "Off the Skel-
llgs" IN rather peculiar manner, being both
prelude and a sequel to that story. Some

then forms continuation of it. 1t will be

The author of this volumincus work claims
to survey his subject "from the moral and
Theological yet liberal and progressive stand
point. He sets forth in the preface the points
wherein and the reason why he differs from
'Comte, Paley, Herbert Spencer, J. s. Mill,
.Guizot. Fourier, etc, and his own claims to
an indulgent hearing; Offering his work as a
mite contributed towards "the promotion of
real freedom and progress, and the improve
lment Of society,"" He defines social science
as the PHILOSOPHY Of Politics. and therefore
specially worthy the thoughtful consider ation
of American citizens, to whom we therefore
commend the work.

While revealing considerable power of
thought and reflection. this story is written in
the most crude and uncultivated style; not
only setting at defiance all rules Of grammati-
cal construction, but also betraying a singular
ignorance OF the usages of polite society.
The characters are impossible creations, and
the plot unworthy the name.

National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1875-10-22

Mr.. JOHN BIGELOw, who seems to have
been riding the two-horse act in politics for
several years past-ssy ever since his crani-
UNI became severely lacerated by his recall
from diplomatic position in Europe-ap-
pears TO be having a rough time of it
among his brother jOurnalislsln New York.
He is now seeking Democratic votes for
Secretary of State in New York upon the
preteDse that he has been a Democrat for
years past, while his friend and sponsor,
Governor TildeD, appointed him as Repub-
icau member of the ex-parte commission
to investigate alleged canal frauds only
few months ago So confident did the Re.
publican leaders appear to,, be that the Gov
ernor had told the truth about Johns poll
tics that they did not scruple to tender him
their nomination to the Office of Secretary
of State, and were surprised at his declina-
ton of the place But the scales fell from
their eyes when few days later he has
tened to accept similar tender male by
the Democrats. The pretense of disinter-
ested fairness on the part of the Governor
in the composition of his canal inquisition
is also now fully apparent. The whole
thing was a sham. Mr.. Bigelow's journal,
the EUeniHg Post, would do well to follow
his example and 60 at once boldly over to
the Democracy, instead of persevering in
its pretense of Republicanism while attack
ing all the distinctive measures of the party
and its distinguished leaders.

where to-day that Alfonso, King of Spain,
young as he is in years, is old enough in
sin. The tainted blood and worse morals
of his mother have cropped out early in
the career of this son of Bourbon. And
this is the son of the church who promised
TO cherish and protect the religion of the
saints! What an example for the youth Of
Spain What an incentive to the
struggling patriots of Cuba to lay down
their arms and give In their adhesion to
the reigning sovereign of Spain Will

ton be likely to yield to the rayisher of his

tates not to shoot down like dogs the hus-
band and father and all who dare condemn
or who refuse to palliate and excuse his
crimes? 1t is evident that the days of the
reign of Alfonso are numbered. However
unfit Spain may be for republican form
of government, she can hardly be so
utterly debauched as to sustain sovereign
who is guilty in his boyhood of the black

time, but when they find that they are
only to be redeemed in other due-bills, or
in bonds bearing interest also payable in
due-bills, and at third or Ihalf legal rates
at that, they will refuse to take them any
longer. They would be fools if they did
not. But they are not fools. They know
very well, and by sad experience, the
difference between cash and store-orders or
due-bills. They know that the latter,
even when paid tn trade, are worth to
them fully twenty per cent. less than cash.
just as Uncle Sans greenbacks are worth
now some fifteen TO twenty per cent. less
than gold as a purchasing power. But
suppose these greenbacks were made fund
able in bonds bearing 1865 per cent.

be worth 70, and a currency-bearing bond
would be worth five siXths as much or a
trif1e over so cents on the dollar. But let

would probably be the difference between
greenbacks and gold? And what would
currency 3.65 be worth then as compared
with gold2 1t is perhaps, difficult to esti
mate answers to these queries with accu-
racy, because, after the necessary quantity
of circulating medium is put afioat, the
excess dilutes very rapidly, and with
greater or less depreciating effect accord
ing to the activity of circulation, and the
confidence reposed in the ultimate redemp-
ton of such excess. But it must be clear
to every practical mind that currency bear
ing interconvertible 3.65's would be most
undesirable Tsecurity to invest in. The
truth is that when General Butler and
Judge Kelley admit the superiority of
go!d-bearing bonds over their proposed
currency bearing issues they acknowledge
the benefits claimed by coin. redemptionists

THE pEAsAHrRY OF BENGAL.

A book bearing this title has recently
been published by Thacker, Sphinx & Co.,
of Calcutta, and republished at London by
Trubnsr & Co. Although written by q
native bearing the name of Romesh Chun-
der Dutt, it appears in the English Ian
guage, which the author uses with the easy
idiomatic flow Of one who speaks or writes
his mother tongue. In fact Mr.. Dutt is
an educated and thoughtful Hindoo. and
one who is, moreover, animated by kind
of patriotism which Is far from common
among the Indian upper classes-the patri-
otism which condescends to take an interest
in the humble cultivators of the soil, who
form the great mass of the population.
Hitherto these peasants, or ryots, as they
are called, have found but few friends
among their more fortunate fellow country
men. The columns of the native press are
often laden with complaints, uttered some
times in tones suggestive Of rebellion, but
the grievances for which redress is de-
handed are not those of the poor, cultivat-
ing classes. H"Rights Of our educated
"countrymsn, says Mr.. Dutt, "to be EN-
"ployed in the higher grades of public
" service; rights of the leaders of our COM
"munity to place in the legislative couns
cells; rights of zemindars to exemption
"from all land impositions-these have
"been frequently advocated and insisted
"upon with vigor and eloquence; but the
