Current Notes,

Hdrper's Weekly says that nothing
"should cause any man to forget that the
Democratic party is now what it has been
for many years-the political organization
OF those who aimed to destroy the national
Union and government for the basest and
most revolving OF purposes, and who still de-
clare that their views, except as to the prac-
tibcaility of secession, remain unchanged"
The American Centennial is just now re-
ceiving great attention in Europe. The Ger
man reichstag has passed the bill in aid of
the exhibition to its second reading, and tn
French commission to examine the works of
art offered for the Centennial has selected six
hundred and seventy pictures, besides scupt-
ures and engravings. Among the French
can history, and the gallery can scarcely fail
to be one of the gseat features of the exhi-
btion.
In word, the Democracy is the party of
obstruction, and the future of the South must
eventually be placed in other hands. A
magnificent opportunity presents itself to the
Republican party. If it will Iigidly expel
mere p lace-seekers or plunGerers from its
ranks; if it will adopt policy at once eco
nomical and progressive; if it will undertake
honestly to encourage the industries of the
various states; and above all, if it will devote
itself to the task Of establishing an extensive
system oil cheap primary public instruction,
it can lay the foundations of a supremacy
which cannot easily be shaken.-N. Y

DRESSING FOR PHoToGRAPH-To the
many who are puzzled how to dress and what
colors to choose for photograph, the following
suggestions will be valuable: Orange color is
for certain optical reasons GEOGRAPHICALLY
black. Blue is white, and other shades or
tones Of color are proportionately darker or
lighter as they contain more or less of these
colers The progressive scale of Photographic
color commences with the lightest. The order
stands thus:-White, light blue, violet pink
mauve, drab, dark blue, lemon. blue-green,
leather. brown, cerise, magenta, yellow-green,
purple, red, amber, orange, dead black. Com
plexion has much to be considered in connec-
tion with the dress. Blondes can wear much
lighter colors than brunettes; the latter always
present better pictures in dark dresses,
but neither look well in pure white. Violent
contrasts of color should be especially guarded
against In photography brunettes possess a
great advantage over their farer sisters. The
lovely golden tresses lose all their brilliancy,
and are represented black, while the "bonnie
blue ee," theme of rapture to the poet, is mis-
cry to the photographer, for it is entirely put
out. The simplest and most effective way OF
removing the yellow color from tle hair is to
powder it nearly white; it is thus brought to
about the same Photographic tint as in nature.
The same rule. of course applies to complex
ions. A freckle, quite invisible at a short dis
tance on account of its yellow color, becomes
most painfully distinct when photographed.
The powder box must be called in to the assis-
tance of art. Here is an opportunity to obtrude
a WORD of general advice. Blue, as has been
said, is the most readily affected by light, and
yellow the least. Therefore, any one desirous
of keeping the complexion free from tan and
freckles should, on going out into the sunshine
discard the customary blue veil and substitute
green or yellow one instead. Blue gauze Of
fers no more obstructionIto the rays of the sun
than white. Half yard of yellow net, though
not very becoming, will be found more effca-
cous than any amount of cosmetics. The
cause of freckles is simple enough. 1t is moth
ing more than the darkening of the salts of
iron contained 10 the blood by the action OF
light A freckled face is thus sort of ami
mated photograph.

the new nautical instrument invented by the
Rev. DR.. Thomas Hill, an instrument be-

FRENCH LIFE IS FULL OF RoMANcE.-A
young painter named Lucien Delaire, while at
work, few days ago, panting the walls in the
court yard of high building in the Rue du
Bac, Paris, dropped his brush, which fell
through a window below him, breaking the
pane of glass. He let himself down by the
rope to the window and called out: "Pardon,
careessly dropped my brush, but am will
ing to pay for the glass;" He received no
answer and on looking through the broken
pane saw young woman PROSTATE on the
floor He put his arm through, unfastened
the catch and jumped into the room, which
was filled with a strong odor of charcoal.
After throwing the windows wide open Lucien
devoted himself to reviving the young girl
The fresh air soon brought her TO-, and Marie
announced that she was dressing for young
friends wedding when she suddenly lost con-
sciousness and fell to the floor. She heard the
noise made by the breaking of the glass, but
was unable to move. The charcoal fumes in
the close room would soon have killed her, had
not the fortunate accident occurred. Marie has
now become the bride of her deliyerer.

THE Shoe and Leather Reporter laments
the readiness with which merchants COM
promise claims against insolvent debtors, but
finds some excuse for them in the loss of time
and patience incident to vigorous prosecu-
tion of their claims. 1t heartily sympathizes
with the prevailing terror inspired by the
apprehension of a law suit, and says with
bitter truth that Claw in all its phases is slow,
uncertain, capricious, enigmaticaL There is
no possible way of guarding against its tech
nicalities and intricacies. One may have the
clearest case conceivable, from the standpoint
of equity, and yet be hopelessly mulcted by
some artifice or strategy of which he could
have had no premonition whatever. He may
be kept waiting for years for the trial of case
so thoroughly one-sided that the defense is a
mere subterfuge resorted to solely for the
purpose of delaying judgment. Or he may
be dragged from one tribunal to another, sue
cessful every time, but wearied with the pro-
crastination which prevents him from getting
his dues, until he reaches the last stage of the
tedious litigation only to be told, that through
some flaw in the proceedings, which every
body had overlooked, the whole performance
must be gone over with again or the case
abandoned"

black as mourning that painting and usurping
"a papable hit Milton has made the moth
er of the race with "unadorned golden
tresses worn dishevelled." On the other
hand his starred Ethiop queen was doubtless
dark. Against so many golden women we
can only place the hours of Mahomet and
the Moorish maids Of Spain. Later English
poets have pictured sometimes bruno and
sometimes blonde, but chiefly blonde. OF
way made his heroine with golden locks
which make wanton gambols with the wind.
Donne speaks of radiant hair, Dryden of
shining hair, Allan Cunningham of hair that
glitters, Addison of beaming hair. But Pope
in the Rape of the Lock pictures the heroine
with two sable ringlets giving new beauties
to the snowy neck. Byron speaks of auburn
curls that would set ten poets raving. Collins
describes Hope as golden-hared. Mrs.
Browning is responsible for amber.colored
clouds of hair stirred into gold by motion.
Tennyson's sweet girl graduates in their gol-
den hair are familiar to all, and so also is his
hair"
The advocates on both sides have been by
periodical in their expressions of admiration.
Nestor Roqueplan has said that "God gave
blonde hair to the women of the North to
console the men for having no sum-" Heine
raves over the dark-haired women of Poland,
will not lower their charms by calling them
angels but insists on calling the angels the
Polish women of heaven. When the hair is
of gold the neck is of milk one says, and
another reminds us that the clear olive tint
of the South is the accompaniment of sable
locks. What can one do in this quarrel save
to abide by the cheerful philosophy of Scribe,
and love bruno and blonde equally well, as
we do red wine and white!
