Rival Beauties at washington.

Blonde vs.. brunette: This much
discussed but never decided ques-
tion is now being revived at Wash
ington-the revival representatives
being the wives Of two foreign min
listers now there. The brunette is
Sonora Mantilla de Los Rios, of
Spain, who is a perfect type of ma
ture Andalusian beauty. She wore,
at Secretary Fish's dinner, a white
satin ball dress, with a sweeping
train of crimson velvet, both almost
covered with rich point lace, while
her back hair was arranged with
pearls and diamonds, and each of
her solitaire earrings was a small
fortune. Flashing black eyes and
manners of majestic grace excited
general admiration.
Austria has sent us, as the wife Of
her diplomatic representative,
Madame La Compress de Hoyos.
nee Comptresse de Herberstein. He
is deeended from one OF the oldest
Hungarian families: and shea IA
tive Of Upper Austria is a true
type of Teutonic beauty. Tall,
slender, graceful and spirituelle, she
wore a delicate shade pink silk,
elaborately made, and trimmed with
rare old point lace, with sprays of
diamonds on her breast and left
shoulder, while a costly cluster in
her auburn hair flashed the pris-
matte eolors, in harmony with the
diamonds which composed her ear
rings, necklace and bracelets. She
has the gift Of tongues-speaking
German. French, English, Italian
and is rare acquisition to society
at Washington Chicago Tribune.

A Simple Key.

A great many people, and in fact
the majority of those who trip them
selves up by unfortunate spelling,
oftener fail from a wrong trans
position of the vowels ''T' and ''e''
in such words as perceive" ''re-
lieve," etc, than in any other way.
An exchange remarks that there is
no necessity for people scratching
ones head over this puzzling orthog-
raphy. The simple word 'Iice" in
the position. The letter ''i'' always
follows opp and sc" follows "c'' as in
the words above given. Always
keep it in your head and yon have
it. This is simple and we believe
there is no other rule so compre-
hensive and always atryour fingers
ends.

Mrs. Miller, the so called spiritual
medium, of Memphis, is caught at
last. Att 'seance'' on Monday eve
ming last, whils performing the part
of a spirit, three young men rushed
upon the stage and caught her in the
very act. They held her fast until a
light was struck, and found it was
her indeed. She had thrown her
skirts over her head, and her
white petticoat was the ghost. She
struggled hard, and called for Mil
Ter, but they held her fast until ev-
erybody present could see the joke
for themselves. Thus ends the
Miller seances IN Memphis. We
grieve for Dr. Watson, for we must
believe that he, with others, has
been duped. We can never believe
that he was a party to the fraud

versed with number of our best

favored using at an early day the

Clifton, jackson will meet them
there without delay"
