German girls are often charmingly pretty
with dazzling complexion, abundant, beauti-
ful hair, and clear lovely eyes but the splen-
did matron, the sound, healthy, well-devel-
oped woman, who has lost no grain of beau
ty and has gained certain magnifcen; ma
turity, such AS we see daily with daughters
who might wei! be her younger sistors-Cf
such women the Fatherland has few speci-
mems to show. The ''pale, unripened beau
ties of the North do not ripen they fade.
THE style is the man" says Button aud
what style is To literature, taste to dress, and
refinement to manners, distinction is to beau
ty. There must be a certain line, certain
proportion, healthy development, a har-
mony, grace and strength before we can ac-
knowledge that greater than the me g
passing prettiness of youth, freshness and
good looks is there. Polish, Hungarian and
Austrian women, whom we, in generally
conclusive way, are apt to class rs Germans,
are "beautiful exceedingly" !" but here we
come upon arother race, or rather such fII.
sion oil other races as may help to contribute
10 the charming result. Polish ladies have
a special, vivid, delicate, spirited, haun,isg
lOveliness, with grace, distinction and ele.
gance in their limbs and features that is all
their own; you cannot call them fragile, but
they are of SO fine ilDre and so delicate 8
coloring that they only just escape that APP
pellation. OF Polish and Hungarian pu,
sang there is little to be found women o
the latter race are of mere robust and snb,
| stautial build, with dark hair and complex
ion, fine flashing eyes, and pronounced type
and who that remembers the women of Linz
and Vienna will refuse them first prize
They possess special beauty of their own
a beauty which is rare in even the loveiest
Englishwoman; rare, Indeed, and excep
tional everywhere else; "a beauty that tn,
artists eye appreciates with feeling OF de
light. They have the most delcately artic

Senator Bayard, of Delaware, in speech
at Democratic ratification meeting in
Philadelphia on Saturday night, said:
81 look askance at this country. and see
it filled with debt-national debt, municipal
debt, private debt-until the whole country
looks to me like a huge mortgage. Look at
the glorious promises with which the Re
publican party four years ago trumped up
its majorities We would have specie pay
ments, and gold and silver should again be
current among the people. Gentlemen, we
are to-day further away from specie payment
than we were four years ago. Do not be-
lieve that government composed of num-
Der of people can make itself rich by the is
sue of paper money any more than one of
you can take private printing press and
grind wealth out of it for yourself
This party has further promised recon-
struction. How have they reconstructed
By reconciliation No! They have broken
every bone in the body of the South. There
is another, a very serious objection to the
| ruling party-otlicial dishonesty. You
might as well try to carry water in sieve
as to carry on government successfully
with dishonesty in high places. Since the
Democracy attained a majority in the House
of Representatives look what an amount of
dishonesty has been uprooted, and then look
how these revelations were received. Not a
| single Republican member of the House,bu
disapproved of the exposures. They have
shown by their conduct of what metal they
are cast. Let thensstep down and out.
"Now who are the Republican candidates!
They are Hayes and Wheeler-men of per-
sonal respectability, but little known. They
are men who have gone through .their polit-
ical lives without scarcely making ripple
on the surface of the political ocean. On
the other hand, what do we offer you? We
present you Samuel J. Tiden, who has ruled
the State of New York for the last three
years. -Four years ago New York was ruled
by rings. Now everything is clean in tht
government. What less can be said o
Hendricks? 1t is just this in the present
campaign: Obscurity against honorable
prominence. / do not deny that there arr
good, noble, honorable men in the Republi
can party. But they are few. know moth
ing against the honor of the Republican
nominees. l only say that they are weak

BOURNE and bells came flying over the cur
tain, which was at once withdrawn, and Mr..
Bishop was found closely tied. 1t was obvi-
ously mysterious, and probably the work Of
spirits. Perhaps Plato and Calico were
thus illustrating the Immortality Of the soul.
A board with nail and hammer was
placed by his side, the curtain was drawn,
and instantly hammering was heard. The
curtain was pulled back Mr.. Bishop was
tied close, and the spirits had hammered the
nail fast into the board. A pail was placed
upon his lap, the curtain drawn to supply
the proper spiritual conditions, and the next
moment he was seen with the pail, like a
night-cap, upon his head. A doll was cut
from paper, guitar was played, water was
drunk from tumbler on his knee, while
his feet were held fast and his neck tied
close to ring behind him. All was done
behind a screen, and if it was not spirits,
what was itY 1t is the question which very
honest and intelligent and scientific men
have asked. No man bound in this manner
could possibly do these things. But they
are done. No human collusion is possible.
What does them? MY hands" answered
Mr.. Bishop. And forthwith, bound as he
was, and in full view of the audience. he re-
peated what he had done behind the curtain
and showed that it was due TO suppleness,
agility, great quickness, and selfpossession.
Alas tor Plato and Calico! Supernatural
ism? Spiritual agencies? Does the courte-
Gus reader recall the concluding words of
DR.. Brownson's Charles Ettcood, "And Eliz-
abeth-will you tell us nothing of her

CHINESE BARBER SHoPs.-The Chinese
barber shops in San Francisco are more nu-
merous than those of any other calling On
Dupont street, between Sacramento and
Clay streets, there are not less than fifty
basement apartments devoted to tonsorial
operations. At first blush the wonder arises
why so many of those establishments are
needed but stand on the streets in the quar-
ter and glance at the head of each passing
Chinaman and the mystery is dispelled.
Among them no toilet is considered complete
which does not involve II shaving OF a great
er portion Of the head and neck, n thorough
cleansing Of the eyes, ears and most rils, and
even trimming and pcnciing Of The eye
brows and lashes. Razors, probes, and lam
ces of peculiar construction, are among the
instruments used by these skilllul artists.
The process of shaving and cleansing is ne
cessarily long one, and when Chinaman
emerges from one of these shops he may be
safely counted as thoroughly clean-ahoye
the shoulders The comhing and brai6ing
of cues consumes no little time. Every
Chinaman Of admit years regards an occa-
sional tonsorial experience as a sacred duty.
The closely shaven head must be scrapcd
over often to preserve the appearance so
much desired, and all this, in place so
populOus as the "quarer" in this city, re-
Guires the constant service of numerous
force. All the barber shops of the Chinese
have a peculiar sign at the doorway indica-
tive of the occupation. 1t is a four-legged
frame, the legs painted green and the top
knobs red.-San Francisco Paper.

WHO Is A GENTLEMAN. "A gentleman is
person not merely acquainted with cer-
tain forms and etiquette of life, easy and
self-possessed in society, able TO speak and
move in the world without awkwardnes.,
and free from habits which are vulgar and
in bad taste. A gentleman is something be-
yond this; that which lies at the root of
every Christian virtue. 1t is the thoughtful
desire of doing in every instance what Others
should do unto him. He is constantly
thinking, not, indeed, how he may give
pleasure to Others for the mere sense of
pleasing, but how he may avoid hurting
their feelings. When he is in society he
scrupulously ascertains the position and re-
lations of every one with whom he comes in
contact that he may give to each his due
honor, his proper position. He studies how
he may avoid touching in conversation on
any subject which may needlessly hurt their
feelings-how he may abstain from allusions
which may call up disagreeaLle or often.
sive association. A gentleman never aIludes
and never even appears conscious of any de-
feet, bodily deformity, inferiorty of talent,
of rank, of reputation, in the person in
| whose society he is placed. He never as
sumes any superiority to himself, never rid
icules, never sneers, never boasts, never
makes display of his own power, or rank,
or advantages-such as is implied in habits,
or tricks or inciinations, which may be Of
Eeusiye to Others

81 am sure Henry Acton was Philip Ac-
toms child-n fact, know it--and l think
the father and mother were married. Bet
sey died soon after the child was born, and
we know that Philip always treated the boy
as legitimate child; and that lie loved him
as such can confidently affirm"
On the following morning after breakfast,
as sat by the window in the bar-room,
saw coming up the street the man who had
saved my child. He was walking slowly,
like one in trouble Ipointed lin out to
my host and asked him who he was.
"That is Henry Acton. Perhaps you have
heard Of the trouble he is likely to have with
Laban Sarfurt?"
said had heard.
81 hope he may come out all right" the
host added; "but am fearful. lie has got
hard and heartless customer to deal with"
II shut my mouth and held my peace un-
til Laban Sarfurt called for his final answer.

"Mr Sarfurt, | have been considering all

They were not out over five minutes. BY

Such stand on the part of lawyer becomes

the public feels. jures are sure to feel.
Conce rning Henry Acton, will only add,
Me became my bosom friend. He always
felt that he owed his title to his valuable
property to me; and knew that l not only
owed the life of my child, but that to him
was indebted for the home that was mine
for thirty years. He was very delicate in
the gift of that piece of property. He decided
it to my wife. The husband of my oldest
daughter is his oldest son.

POetical.
TIE DEwDROp AND THE HEART.

The night was dead, but, dying, gave
Birth TO drop OF pearly dew;
The morning woke, and waking, found
The drop in all It's beauty new
Calmly and modestly II lay,
Graded In moss, q liquid gem,
Untouched by art, worthy place
In Natures falrest diadem.
Calmly It lay, content to be
A drop Of dew, and nothing more.
TIL Phoebus rose, and then. forsooth,
Its happiness for aye was DER.
The dewdrop gazed, and, gazing, longed
For brilllancy and sparkling sheen;
Would that diamond could be,
hid emeralds Of leafy green I"
Then turned It to the sun, and cried,
"Give me, o, give me of thy light
Grant that with lustre glittering
Ny simple form may be bosight"
"Forbear, o dewdrop," Phnbus said
"Thou askest what is death to thee;
Seek not for more than Nature gave,
But with thy lot contented be-"
"Nay, give me light, pure heavenly light
long for It, for 1t pine"
"Well, since thou wilt, poor foolish thing,
give 1t thee--the light is thine"
The dewdrop sparkled In Its pride,
Nor stayed to think upon the cost
In truth diamond 1t seemed,
Awhile 1t glinted-and was lost
And as the dewdrop, so my heart,
untrammeled, Joyous, calm, and free
Until the God Of love arose,
AMI nhis beauty,smiled on me
Then prayed for the gift of!love,
Nor heard his words In warning given,
But prayed again. til love was mine;
loved-and love my heart has riven

A TOUCHING SroRY.--A drunkard who
had run through bis property returned one
night to his unfinished home. He entered
his empty hall. Anguish was .gnawing at
his heart strings. and language was made
quate to express his agony as he entered his
wiies apartment and there beheld the vic
Tins Of his appetite, his loving wife and n
darling child. Morose aud sulIen, he seated
himself without word he could not speak;
he could not look up then. The mother
said to the little one by her side,
"Come, my dear, it is time to go to bed y
and that little baby, as usual, knelt BY her
mothers lap, and gazing wistfuIly into the
face of her suffering parent like a piece OF
chiseled statuary, slowly repeated her night
ly orison.
When she had finished the child (but four
years old said to her mother,
Dear mother, may not offer one more
prayer" /I3 HfV
"Yes, yes, my sweet pet, pray"
And she lifted up her tiny hands, closed
her eyes and prayed, ai
"Oh, God, spare, oh spare my dear papa"
That prayer was lifted with electric rapid
ity to the throne of God. 1t was heard on
high it was heard on earth. The response
"Amen p' burst from the fathers lips and
his heart of stone became heart Of flesh.
Wife and child were both clasped to his bo-
som, and in penitesce he said,
my child, you have saved your father
from a drunkard's grave; I'll sign the
pledge"

A LOST LOVE.

oh. mystic loveliness OF DEAR dear woman
Oh, vanished charm Of waving chestnut hair,
Oh, pald glow OF beauty superhuman,
Lit with CLEAN that makes the angels fair.
A dreary sweetness now your bloom enhances;
The earthly features wear the heavenly smile
That pictured angels bear in solemn frances
In silence OF some dim cathedral aisle.
We met too late. Your promise has been pghted.
And until then 1t pleased me to be free
No glance OF yours that met mine hunger sighted
Ever betrayed the slightest thought OF me.
We went our way with dreary commonplaces,
Poor soul, you trod your path through stony ways
Though you have slept so long, my memory traces
Mid tears the memory of those evil days.
To you 1t seems half alfforgotten story,
In that far land beyond the pulse OF time,
And thinking OF you mid the saints in glory,
l see how earthly love may be sublime.
llnger on and learn the grace Of bearing
The nerveless pang that follows on your loss
For well know that you my love- are wearing
The crown that wreathes the angels OF the Cross
