Women Who Never Wash.

A Spizza correspondent of the London
Standard. writes: Those of your readers
who have travelled in Spain have GER
tainIv remarked the dirty stripes on the
necks of the lovely senoras; no devout
Spanish woman dares to battle without
the permission of her cOnfessor. This
aversion to cleanliness has come forward
from the time of the anchorites Sabinus,
Pachomius Besarion, and other saints of
the desert. and indeed whole sects of that
epoch condemned all ablutiOns as heathen-
ish and were lauded because they wore
their clothes so long that they rOtted to
pieces and fell off them, or because their
Skins became as pumice-stone" from
the crust of dirt on 1t. The superstition
that cleansing the body soils the soul ex

Christian nations who have long carried
on conflicts the MOhammedans, on whom
the Koran enjoins frequent additions.
A female Bulgarian is permitted to wash

her wedding; and in most south SclavOn-
ian families the girls are rarely allowed
to battle. the women never. | recall with

Farmer Tennyson.

4 correspondent of the London Times
writes to that paper:
NV next neighbOr is Farmer TennySOn.
His residence is about a quarter of a
mile from my lodgings, and is named
Faringford. Why do | call him farmer?
Because he is, or was until quite lately,
a farmer. Only yesterday | met on the
Downs, at the back of his place, flock
of two hundred Southdown sheep, all
branded "a. t." and very fine sheep
they are, and do much credit to the
breeder; and in the park | saw dozen
handsome bullocks. For some years Mr..
TennysOn was actually farmer, but not
long ago, tired of active farming, he
turned over his land (his own Iand) to
his bailiff, Mr.. Herd. Rumor, however,
says that the stock still belongs to the
poet, and if that be so, he is still in a
limited sense a farmer. This to most Of
my readers will be, as it was to me,
TennysOn in quite new character.
Farmer and poet is a conjunction very
rare in England. "Wide as the poles
asunder" usually are farmers and poets.
But then, we must remember, TennysOn
is county gentleman and landowner,
and county gentleman, as we
know, do not often take to farming
their own lands. Poets, though, have
often some other business to attend to
than that Of writing poetry. Samuel
Rogers was a banker. Mr.. Morris, the
author of "The Earthly Paradise"
wonderful poem, is an upholsterer in
Queens square, London-witness, some
chairs in my study at home. The
Anti-Corn Law Rhymer," that true but
much neglected poet, was a blacksmith;
and Burns was a plowman, if not a
farmer. Indeed, given the requisite
culture or genius in the farmer, farming,
l should say, is a very suitable occupa-
ton for a poet.

and women, might see how death had
quenched the light of his noble face.
And then my Lady Katharine learnt
the bitter lesson of her life. Her heart
stood still, until they feared she was
dead also but she awakened to her grief
all pale and sad, and then they guessed
her secret, and tended her night and
day.
Lord Percy's mother came likewise.
and, touched by the maiden's grief, she
took her for daughter, to fill the vacant
place in her widowed heart.
Lady Katharine lived in a pious. gen
tie life, that might, under another for
tune, have been life of love and house
hold pride-a life of woman's happiness,
with children to console and bless. But
late had willed it otherwise, and she
bowed her head as one who merited all
the sorrow that had fallen upon her
young and blighted years.
20 ofttimes it happens in the course of
love and friendship, the hasty word, the
cruel thought, only showed forth in jest,
come back to blister the fairest lips and
break the truest heart.

Speaking of instances where history
has been perverted writer says: An
other revolutionary fable which has i'm
posed even on that usually hypercritical
writer, Mr.. Carlyle, is the'horrible story
of Mile. de Sombreuil. Rumor has it
that during the massacres of Septem-
Der" her father was dragged from prison
and was about to be murdered by the
mob, when she flung herself before him
begging for his life and crying out that
she was a friend Of the people. " If that
be so" said one of the furious crowd,
"Iet us see you drink the blood of an
aristocrat," and tearing heart from one
of the corpses he squeezed into cup and
presented it to her. The heroic girl, 50
runs the story, drank it off, and thus
saved her fathers life. The romantic
fable, however, is only one more paste
Jewel to add to our collection. As mat
ter of fact, the courage, beauty, and
devotion of Mile. de SOmbreuil, as she
pleaded for her fathers life, completely
disarmed the murderOus gang; and when,
overcome by her emotions, she tainted,
one of them offered her a glass of water,
a drop from his bloody hand fell into the
cup, and hence the horrible story, which
is repeated by every historian of the
French revolution. Louis Blanc first
published the true account; he heard it
from a lady to whom Mile. de Som
breuil had herself related it; in fact, the
latter always told the story to show that,
although cruel, the men of September
were accessible to pity.

do men know these cheap women. They
live forever and often have the pleasure
of seeing a third husband put well under
ground, for c'est la premier pas qui coute.
After having achieved the difficult step
to first husband all the rest is easy walk
ing. The marriage belle stands in group
of adorers. She is tall, with handsome
figure and easy manners. She says and
does things with captivating grace that
would be alarming in unmarried women,
and men who are afraid af being shared
before their time revel in the thought of
being safe, matrimonially, here, and en-
Joy laying their cautious gallantry aside.
Indeed, every man in the room has been
up to hear her bright chit-chat but one,
and consequently you set him down as
being her husband. As he, her legal pro-
tectOr, is so amiable as to let her devote
herself to calling forth other mems admit
ration, far be it from me to cast pebble
at this importation of Partisan principles
to America, although l suppose one may
cherish ones private opinion of it.

Business Prospects in the South and West,

Our newspaper exchanges south and
west confirm the reports which bankers
receive from their correspondents in those
sections, that trade there is active and
promises good profits. If a few of the
croakers who affiict New York could
have been transferred to the charge of
the newspapers in those sections, we have
no doubt that the people there would
have been as blue as some are here.
They would have been informed that it
made no difference what kind of crops
they had, the fall business would surely
be bad; that it was dangerous to sell on
credit to any one; that the very founda-
tiOns were slowly but surely rotting
that the only way to come down to hard
pan was for every one to pay what he
owed; that any man who could not lift
the mortgages on his farm should not be
trusted, and could not safely be, until at
least he had shown his ability to do it
that banks, trust companies and insur-
ance companies were fearfully loaded
with rOttOn stuff; and, in short, that it
behOOved every one to draw himself
closely within his shell and await better
times. 1t is true thai this class of
croakers have a better chance to work
successfully here, because in a great
commercial city more use is made of
credit, and credit can be injured more
easily than anything else; and because
it is reasonably certain that persistent
battering away-all done in a solemnly
wise way-is sure, if kept up, to bring
down every institution and every man
who cannot promptly liquidate all his
debts. New York business has been,
between this kind of trea sment and the
work of the rumOr-mOngers, injured more
than it would have been by the existence
of good substantial causes. The mercan-
tile community have been kept in a low
fever, and in a condition of constant ex-
pectancy of some crushing and over
whelming disaster. If the autumn trade
here is not good, it will be due largely
to the croakers. We, while saying this,
are well aware of what there is unsound
in the financial situation, but there is
nothing which justifies sounding warn
ing, which is the only excuse a respect
able journal can have for alarming the
community. The position we take is
simply that the material conditions exist
for good trade, and that business men
should have a fair chance to improve
them.-NeU York Bulletin.

rs aerial navigation comes more into

as aerial navigation comes more into
vogue"
1t is to be hoped that these ascents in
the upper air will some time or other he
turned to better account than they have
been thus far. There is a sad significance
in the fact that the aeronant who was so
confident of his ability to cross the At
lantic in balloon lost his life on one of
our own lakes, through the neglect of the
precautions which his own experience
naturally suggested. Another expert
enced American aerOnaut, Prof. Wise,
anticipated Donaldson in his idea of the
feasibility of an aerial voyage to Europe.
but, as neither congress nor the capital
lists appealed to were willing to advance
the necessary funds, the professor escaped
the watery danger that proved fatal to
Donaldson, and died peacefully in his
bed. 1t may not be generally known
that Wise gravely proposed to capture
the castle of Vera Cruz, during our war
with Mexico, by means of a balloon
loaded with bombs, which were to be
shOwered upon the fortress at the dist
ance Of a mile above it! Mr.. Marcy,
then secretary of war, did not favor the
project. The experience of the Franco
German and our own civil war has not
demonstrated the efficiency Of balloons
for offensive purposes their utility
being limited to observation of an
enemy's position, and the communication
of intelligence. 1t is well that Prof.
Wise was not enabled to risk his life in
this attempt. And there are many high
fiers whose salvation from disaster in the
upper air of speculation is due to a
wholesome lack of assistance from those
who are able to aid theirperilous schemes.
There is of course no good reason to be-
lieve that, short Of the millennium,
there will be an end to reckless attempts
at rising above the limits of individual
capacity or endurance, but it is not too
much to hope that the progress OF educa-
ton will reduce these evils to a minimum
by throwing clearer light on high
flying and its dangers.-APpLetons' Jour-

A BRUSSELS LOVE STORY.-There is
pretty story in connection with the in
PRODUCTION of the manufacture of fine
lace into Brussels. A poor young girl,
named Gertrude, was dying for love of
young man, whose wealth Precluded all
hopes of marriage. One night, as she
sat weeping lady entered her cottage,
and without saying a word, placed in her
lap a cushion, with its bobbins filled
with thread. The lady then, with per-
feet silence, showed her how to work
the bobbins, and how to make all kinds
of delicate patterns and complicated
stitches. As daylight approached the
maiden had learned the art, and the mys-
FERROUS visitor disappeared. The price
of the maiden's lace soon made her rich
on account of its valuable patterns, and
she was able to marry the object of her
love. Many years after, while living in
luxury with her numerous family about
her, she was startled by the mysterious
lady entering her comfortable house
this time not silent but looking stern.
She said: "Here you enjoy peace and
comfort, while without are famine and
trouble. l helped you; you have not
helped your ncighbor. The angels weep
for you and turn away their faces" So
the next day Gertrude went forth with
her cushion and bobbin in hand, and
going from cottage to cottage, she offered
to teach the art she had so mysteriously
learned. So they all became rich, and
their country also.
