The New York Times calls atten ton To
the fact that large portion Of the fertile
island of New Guinea, lying under the
equator, and about ninety miles North
Of Australia, Is unclaimed by any nation,
the Dutch occupying a small part only
Of the territory: The English recently
explored the island, and Captain Lawson
has made Q glowing report Of its marvel
ous resources. The Times thinks It
would be . good idea, since the English
have shown some hesihncy about plant
ing their flag on tine soil, for the United
States to rush in and possess the land.
Il might be very good thing, but tn On,
az We are experimenting in that line at
the Samoan islands at the present time,
IL would be better to wait and sec how
Col. Steinberger comes ont of his mis-
sion. Besides, Capt Lawson, the Eng
lish explorer Of New Guinea, had fierce
fight with the untutored savages of that
island, which suggests forci6Yy that, if
We take possession, of it, we will have to
fight and feed the aborigines, and un-
doubtedly have to submit to the dis
graceful plumber of . new Indian ring.
Let the English have New Gtinea If They
won't it.

3 How 10 FIssDf7 OUTr r. wHoeM XrY GrY1as
PERSON WILL MARRY.-Itadon't require
an astrologer, q medium or o gypsy
with dirty pack of cards. It IS very
simple-lies in nutshell, end can be
expressed in q very few words. They
are these: The last person you6 wop1d
naturally think of. If girl expres9Ae
her fondness for majestic men with lAlgA
-whiskers, make up your mind that che
will marry q very small man with none
If she declares that mind lis all ashe
looks for, expect to see her stand before
the alter with very pretty fellow who
has Just sense enough to tie cravat
bow. If, on the contrary, she declares
she must have q handsome husband, look
about you for the plainest person in
the circle of her acquaintance and
declare 'that is the man" I" for twill be-
Men are almost Us bad. The gentleman
who desires o wife with mind and
mission. marries a lisping baby who
screams at the sight of mouse, and
hides her face when she heirs o sudden
knock at the door. And the gentleman
who dreaded anything like strong
mindedness exults in the fact that his
wife is everything he detested. If girl
says of one, Marry one? I'd rather
die, look upon the affair MS settled, and
expect cards to the wedding of these two
people. If a man remarks of lady, "Not
my style at all, await patiently the up

column in connectien with that iady's.
And if any, two people declare them

is no hypocrisy in NIL this, and such

AN ACTRESS LUXURIOUS SURRouNDINtis.
Have you heard that Mile Lasseng, Il
am sure you remember this piquant nc
tress of Palais Royal, , came MS near being
burnt MS it is possible for an iceberg to
be burned? I instanced the contlagra-
tion in Mile. Lasseng's rooms, just to let
you see the insolent luxury in which
those creatures live. You know, as an
actress, she is tenth rate. And yet her
furniture cost over 5000 coo. She had a
dressing gown of Mechlin lace and en-
broidery which cost 81, 900; So. 900 worth
of furs; thirty dresses, the cheapest of
which cost 500, gold all her skirts were
Of lace; her sheets were SO fine you could
have run them through the brides ring,
and the embroidery on them more than
doubled the cost of the linen. Her bed
chamber was in the Revival style, and
was lined, walls and ceiling, with red
damask silk, wadded and hand-embroid-
cred. Her bed was seven feet long by
six wide, was placed on q platform OF
palissandre, covered with Smyrna car
pets. The bed-curtains were lace. Costly
pictures, bronzes, stAtuettes, carved
ivory, Chinese and japanese curiosities,
Rouen and Nevers earthenware. Limoges
enamels, Sevres and Sa1ony porcelain,
Gobelins md Beauvais tapestry were to
be found everywhere. The ceiling OF

Statistics have been collected in
France, Algeria and Prussia, by which it
is shown that the Jewish race has mean
average duration of life exceeding that of
Christians by about five years, and that
this people enjoy greater immunity from
disease than Christian races. The causes
ascribed are the inheritance of q sound
physical constitution, and the watchful
care of mothers over their offspring.

countries have left them unscathed.

Freeman, the distinguished Historian,
has been !lecturing IN London on ''The
Use Of tho English Language" in course
of which he pointed out some examples
of foreign words which had isupplanted
good English words and Of words which
had slipped into daily rfse in q sense
very different from their renl meaning.
Nearly all writers. and frequently those
who write hurriedIy for daily papers,
and Whose knowledge of the English
language IS gained or freshencd by the
reading Of papers, occasionally use the
unnecessary or incoherent words men,
toned by Mr.. Freeman. Some Of these
are worth remembering. One that is in
common use is ''ovation," which wit
ness in the Tichborne trial described Ms
yelling and hooting." It was term
applied to Roman celebration, Mt which
a victorious general walked to the place
where sheep (oyis) was sacriiced in his
at which the victorious general rodo in a
chariot to the place where bull was
sacrificed. "Transpire" once meant to
come out gradually, but now an event
''tnnspires" whenever anything hap
pens. Men '.allude to" each other by
name, when they actually ''speak" OF
each other. Waters are not sent to
Ak"find h out" anything or '.ask" anything,
they are told to ASCERTAIN" or to ''in-
Fquire." Tradesmen do not ''scnd in
their bills" but ''render their accounts, u
and singers do not "sing psalms" bnt
the psalms nre beautifully rendered .
Things do not begin nowadays, but are
'inaugurated, and statues are also ''in.
augurated." not uncovered" or Gun
veiled." In concluding his interesting
lecture, Mr.. Freeman said that the great
use of lectures was to set people to think
ing themselves, and if each one would
think what he could do for the Eng.
1ish languages, u reform would soon be
wrought.

THE GIRL OF To-DAY.-The time has
passed when women must be pale and
delicate to be called dinteresting-whens she
must be totally ignorant of oil practical
knowledge to he called refined and high
bred-when she must know nothing of
the current political news of the day, or
be called masculine and strong minded.
1t is not Il sign of birth and refinement
to be sickly and ignorant. Those who
affect anything of the kind are behind
the times, and must shake no md air
themselves mentally and physically. or
drop under the firm strides Of common
sense ideas and be crushed into utter
insignificance. In these days ON active,
rosy faced girl, with brain quick and clear,
warm, light heart, and temper quickly
heated mt intended insult or injury, and
just as quick to forgive; whose feet can
run as fast as her tongue and not put
her out of breath; who is not afraid of
freckles, or to breathe the pure mir OF
heaven unrestrained by the draw cur
tains of a CLOSE carriage; and above NIL.
who can speak her mind and important
topics which interest Intelligent people,
is the true girl who will make good
woman. This is the girl who wins in
these days.

ianity consisted only in such disputes,
science and Learning would ignore it

Christ, holy life, which arouses the

nothing so long as there are intellects to

FoRc1BLE BunIAL.-The New Orleans
Bulletin. of Saturday, tells a horrible tale
of the forcible burial of living man in
that city, on the 2Gth ult. He was n
negro named George. Banks, and his dis
ease was smallpox. According to the
statements of six or eight persons, pub
lished by the Bulletin. the man pushed
the lid off the coffin while it was ON the
cart on the way to the cemetery; the
driver of the cart placed it on again, sat
on one end, and put coffin containing
a baby on the other end to keep down
the lid. At least half q dozen people as
serted that they saw this, that they dis
tinctly saw the movements of the man
in the coffin in his efforts to rise, and
|pne or two said they heard his groans
|and breathing. Several declared that
the driver ordered them off when they
approached and told him he had living
man in the coffin. The thing is almost
incredible, but these are the circumstan-
tial statements. The driver WAS arrested
and locked up. He denied everything
except that he was the driver who car
ried tho corpse to the cemetery.
