Middle aged Women the Reigning Beauties


Helen of Troy was over forty when
she perpetraicd the most famous elope
mcnt on record and as the siege O
Troy lasted a decade, she must have
been quite elderly when the ilI-fortunc
pf Paris restored her TO her husband,
who is reported TO have revived hen
with unquestioning love and gratitude
Pericles welded Aspasia when she was
thirty-six, and yet atterward, for thirty
years or more, she held an undiminished
reputation for beauty. Cleopatra was
past thirty when Anthony fell under
icr spell, which never lesscned until
her death, nearly ten years after. Livla
was thirty-three when she won the heart
of Augustus, over whom she maintained
her ascendancy to the last. The eX-
traordinary Diana dc Poictiers was
thirty-six years old when Henry II.
of France then Duke Of Orleans, and
Just half her age) became attached TO
her, and she was held as The first lady
ana most beautiful, woman at court up
to the period Of the monarch's death
and the accession 10 power of Catherine
dc Medicis. Anne of Austria was thirty
eight when she was tho handsomest
queen Of Europe, and when Buckingham
and Richclieu were her jealous admirers.
Nlnon de i'Enclos, the most celebrated
wit of her day, was the idol OF three gen
CREATIONS Of the golden youth of France,
and was scveEty-two when the Able de
Bernis fell IN love with her. A rare
combination of culture, talents and per-
sonal attractions endowed their possess
or seemingly with the gift of eternal
youth. Blanco Cape!lo was thirty-eight |
when the Grand Duke Francisco of
Florence fell captive TO her charms,
and made her his wife, though she was
five years his senior. LOUIS XIV. we'd .
ded Nine de Naintehon when she was
forty-three years age. Catherine ii. !
of Russia was thirty-three when she
seized the empire, and captvatcd the
dashing young Orloh. Up 10 the time
of her death Cat sIxty-sevcn) she seems
TO have retained the same bewitchinC
powers, for the lamentations were heart /
felt among ali those who had ever
known her personally. Mdllc. Mars,
the tragediehne, only attained the zenith
of her beauty and power, between forty /
and forty five, when tho loneliness of
her hands aud arms especially was celc-
bratcd throughout Europe. Mime !
Recamier was thirty-cight when she was,
without dispute, declared TO be the most
beautiful woman IN Europe, which rank
rho held for fifteen years.

Telegraph Stations Mt Sea.

The feasibility of establishing telegraphic
communication with ships at sea has been
the subject of some discussion of late. Two
methods are suggested-one the paying out
of small and comparatively inexpensive
cable by the departing steamer. thus keen
ing up communication with the port of
departure: and the other the establishment
OF cable stations on the high seas built
upon buoys, at which a steamer NAV stop
aud communicate, g i've her time and enable
her passengers also to communicate with
their friends on either shore. Although in
many cases vessels keep we'll defined routes
across the ocean, and have thus considera-
Bile opportunity of communicating with
their friends by means of passing ships,
there are tracks which ara more solitary
than the desert. A passenger by steamship
from San Francisco to JaSan writes: 'Duf1
ing our eighteen days Joyage only two
ships were sighted, and those lar away on
the horizon. Travel on the Pacific is not
Ike crossing the Atlantic to Europe. Our
only companions were the sea birds. which
followed in the wake for hundreds of miles
at time. and whose untiring flight excited
our amazement A thought often suggest

comparatively helpless position of persons
who might be shipwrecked in the midst of
the Pacific. Such bOundless track of

MIR. StOughtOn's Letter.

Mr.. +. w. StOughtOn, a Democrat in pol
tires, and one Of the most prominent law
yers of this city, has published letter on
the Louisiana question. 1t is not probable
that the Democratic newspapers will print
1t. For the sake of their party they dare
not do so, but its reproduction tbroug b the
land would go far to allay the storm their
gent, unanswerable argument on the side
Of law, truth and right. It takes the
ground that in recognizing Kellogg as
Governor of Louisiana, the President
acted according to the best light which. at
the time. could be shed" upon the scene.
After that recognition, it became the duty
OF every citizen to yield obedience to the
constituted authority, though it included
obedience to colored officials. proud
Becks must bend as the constitution and
laws OF our country command" says
Mr. St"ughtOn, until in the Prov
dence Of God there shall be given to the
whites spirit 50 to conciliate and teach
and protect the blacks that their very help
lessness uay be turned into strength" For
the present distress the only remedy sug-
gested is the removal Of the United States
troops from Louisiana. That would be fol-
lowed by bloOdshed, and, in Mr.. Slough
toms opinion, ''should the President of the
United States, believing, or having reason
to believe, that such consequences would
follow withdrawal Of the national troops
from Louisiana, direct it, he would connive
at, promote and be responsible for the in
surrection which should follow, and if I'M
peached for the act could not be defended"
Such, in the eyes of patriotic Democrat
and shrewd observer of events, is the
situation in Louisiana. His remedy is to
hold a new election under special act of
Congress. It remains tor the wisdom of
that body to decide the question. The more
immediate point is of respect to the powers
that be, and of protection to citizens of
every race and color.-New York CONNER.

The Telegraph Monopoly.

Throughout the entire country the tele-
graph business is in the hands OF the West
ern Union Telegraph Company. The few
isolated miles of wire belonging to other
companies are at best of mere local I'M
portance. The Western Union has prac-
really a complete monopoly of the business.
This monopoly is attended by the following
results:
l. 1t works very great injury to the Re
publican party. The power of the Asso-
ciated Press of New York-six out OF the
seven papers belonging to which are anti
Republican-is due TO the contract by
which the telegraph monopoly gives TO the
Associated Press a monopoly of news. This
news ia manipulated in the interests OF the
opposition, % was VIGOROUSLY the case as
To the tele grams from Louisiana during the
recent excitsment in New Orleans. Were
there no telegraph monopoly there would
be free trade in news, and the powers OF the
Associated Press to publish only such news
as suits its partisan purposes woulo % at
an end.
.. The Western Union monopoly not only
controls the Associated Press by virtue OF
its newer to withhold news from any paper
which displeases the mOnOpolists, but 1t
prevents the development of newspapers
outside of the Associated Press Dy charg'
ing the former vastly higher rates for news
than the latter Is required 10 pay. Ahis
would I've tolerated in no country when the
facts should be fully known.
g. The Western Union monopoly main
tains a tariff of prices which Is greatly IN
excess of the prices charged IN Europe. IL
does this simply because it IS monopoly,
and has thus no rivalry to fear. The whole
business of the country suffers in conse-
quence.
Congress can overthrow this monopoly,
not by the purchase of it's lines or the build
ing of opposition lines, either OF which
remedies would entail a heavy drain on the
treasury, but by authorizing the Postmaster
General to make contracts with companies
which will connect the different postotfices
by telegraph wires. The service could be
perfo rmed by contract. precisely as the
mails are now carried. The cost would be
slight; the benefit to tie country immense.
Tue twin monopolies of the Western U mon
aud the Associated Press would be broken
up. We should have cheap teiegraphy;
free press, and free trade in news. Inc
matter is one Of national Importance, ana
relief can only come by national acnon'
Let us see whether Congress has the cour-
age to grapple with the despOtic monopoly
which is the enemy of the Republican parry,
the independent press, and the business

A Story About Pinchback.

Washington lady correspondent tells
the following of the mulattO statesman
Pinchback. When standing among other
men, and wearing his hat almost any one
would call him Spanish or French. This
fact reminds me OF story, apropos Just
here: Pinchback was dining at the Ebbitt
House, a year ago, with Guartette, one of
whom was newspaper man. The party
attracted the attention of every one by their
apparently unlimited enjoyment Very few
dreamed who the stranger could be, and
when, after dinner, the newsy indivi-
dual sought the parlor to speak to
some young ladies, the dear creatures
immediately beset him to know who
had been his distinguishedlo looking friend"
Did you ever know a newspaper man at
fault for an explanation! B cleared
his thrrat-I wonder if his conscience is
clear yet-and explained, after this manner:
You mean the gentleman On my right"
''Of course we do we know all the restv'
chorused the eager girls. well, that was
Senior Roderigo Violate Sanchez, an attache
OF the Brazilian legation. HIS has Just ar
rived, and nobody hardly knows him: but
there hasn't been man IN Washington for
years who has created such sensation as
the Senior will make before the week is over.
He is Immensely rich, and it will be shame
it he gets away from Washington without
taking an American wife to show him how
to spend his money!
Or course the damsels blushed but
begged Mr.. b to present the distin-
9uished foreigner as soon as possible. The
mendacious wretch gravely promised, and
then, finding his emotion becoming uncon-
trollable, walked off where he could safely
laugh it out. When the girls discovered
taat they had been Regularly sold" there
was great wrath and INDIGNATION, but one
OF them, an exquisite Kentucky belle
tossed her lovely head. exciaiuling, II don't
care. He is nice looking, and has made
him elf more famous than most of the
white men that | know, and I shall be
introduced" But she wasn't. Her papa
knew better.
