Strangers almost invariably
notice a style of beauty peculiar, it
is believed, to Americans females,
and visible to a greater extent in
the metropolis than anywhere else
ON our own soil. You meet them
at the opera, theater, social recep-
tons, and at the recent grand
charity balls at the Academy there
we're several very distingue exam
pies. One of them was quite re-
markable - in fact, exceedingly
pretty, one Of the favored of her
sex-a pale, almost opalescent com
nlexion, unrelieved by the faintest
touch Of color on the cheeks,
features that are in some respects
the very perfection Of classic beauty;

ripples under the gaslight, would
defy reproduction by the painter q
form as supple and 1.-the as that o
a trained athlete, yet as digni6ed
graceful, and Self-possessed as I

was elected Governor the second
time by a majority Of 1918 over
George D. Pendleton, who had
been placed on the Democratic
ticket at a late day under very UNI
favorable auspices; last year he was
nominated over Judge Taft, present
Attorney General of the United
States, and elected Governor by
a majority of 5544 in the mem
orable contest with William
Allen. He is a fine speaker,
though not a very able man. Per-
sonally he is popular, and no charges
have ever been made affecting
his integrity. He has been a
lucky man so far, and will, perhaps,
come as near defeating the Demo-
cratic nominee as any man his
party could have put forth. VIM.
A. Wheeler, the nominee for Vice
President, was born at Malone,

ment against the late Secretary of War
were resumed soon after loon to-day.
Judge Black, Of counsel for the ac-

why the trial could not go on on the 9th

that it be postponed until about the
middle Of November next, and appealed
to the managers not to oppose the mo-
ton. He said the managers understood
the reasons for not going on with the

agree TO a postponement.

asked leave to consult with the House O.
Representatives, which was granted, snC
the Senate, as a court of impeachment

The Sacramento Union seems to
think that sympathy for the Cali
fornia mustang is so much sentl-
ment wasted. 1t says: "Itis pos
sible, indeed probable, that Mr..
Bergh has no intimate acquaintance
with the California mustang, or he
world know hat his tender cOnsid-
era ton was thrown away upon the
be asst. 1t has been justly, though
&C cidentally, observed, that the
S ympathy Of Mr.. Bergh would have
ljeen much more consistently placed
upon the unfortunate rider of these
mustangs. This is the simple truth.
I The man who undertakes to ride
thirty-ive California mustangs,
Jumping from saddle to saddle,
must be either a professional
yaquero or a petri6ed post-boy OF
khe olden time. But when we con-
template the mustang as an object
of compassion and humanity, it is
impossible to repress a sardonlc
grin. The army mule is a perfect
Chesterfield Of an animal in COM
parison with the native California
mustang. 1t was the mustang that
invented the noble art Of bucking.
We are aware that the army mule
r has experimental in that direction,
but no other animal but the Cali
fornia mustang ever caused the rider
, to describe u parabolic curve
{ of the same extent. Nor can the
man who has not been bucked by a
a California mustang at all conceive
e the process. The victim, while un-
] dergoing it would infinitely prefer
: being delivered to an Hyrcaniar

1t will be seer that Hayes, after
the second ballot, went up steadily
until nominated. His friends were
not so demonstrative as some others,
but they knew their business and
stood their ground. 1t is not I'M
likely that the surroundings were
favorable to the interests Of a man
living in the State where the con-
vention was held. Blaine's follow
ers, adopting his tactics in Con-
gress, attempted to storm the con-
vontion. He led off with a
smaller vote than expected =
295. Blaine rose, then fell back
a time or two, but on the
sixth ballot received 3OS; another
bold dash and he would go through,

Hayes and s for Bristow.
Kentucky then withdrew Bristow
and voted "a solid for Hayes. This
settled it; New York and the Other
great States voted almost solid fol
Hayes and he received 1884 votes
five more than necessary to nomi
