WHEN Gibson, the sculptor, first saw Miss HOSmer's statue of Beatrice Cen lei, the back of which was modelled from that of Lady A T., he ex- claimed: "To think that the cursed prejudices of society prevent my see ing that beautiful back" This story is told by Fanny Kemble.-Exchange.
 Yet SO it is. The world IS all askew. To think of the ridiculous inconven- fence caused by "the cursed prciu- dices of society,"" which prevent the gentle Gibson from seeing Lady Blanks back And that too when the Egypt ian taskmasters of art will demand of their Israelite Gibson, a back as good as Lady Blanks. To be sure he can use his wlfe's or his sisters or his maiden aunt's or his grandmother back, or any of the backs created by ancien! or modern genius, for a model, but the cruel fact remains that society countenances Lady Blank in keeping her back covered from the gaze of an indiscriminate public When this wretched world is remOdeled on the plan of Woodruff, Hilton, and other prophets and apostles of like faith and theory, all things shall become com mon property.

VIII France Fight:

From the Springfield Republican,
 France, the destruction of whose imperial army we hailed as the prom ise of disarmament, is now organizing an army by the side of which NapO- Icons flimsy battallions were a mere train-band Every Frenchman who is not positively crippled or Invalided, between the 4g ges of twenty and twenty nine, now belongs 10 the active army for five years; not all serve this length of time, a certain proportion who are drawn by lot being forlOughed after SIX months service; another class Tn pursuit of liberal education get off by volunteering for one year, passing an examination in their studies and paying a communication money of $300. Then there are the rescrvists," sO- called, the older men, who are SUD- posed to have graduated from the active army. Once in two years the reservists meet and drill for a fort night. They have just been under drill, the men being called out in tie same order as if the present organlza- ton had been in force for some years. Nine corps of 10000 men each have thus been under drill, many of them veterans of the last war, but strangers to the new arm (the fusil gras) which has been adopted since they were in the field. A third grand division is the Territorial army, or men from thir- ty-four to forty years of age, who are only to be called out in defense of the district in which they are enrolled. The whole male population are given a legal status as belligerents, in order to protect them from any of those scrnples which led the Germans, it is said, 10 shoot citizens in defense of thetr homes because they were irregu- lars. But, practically, every man from twenty to forty years of age is part of the army.

MOUNT ARARAT.-The present fash ion of mountain climbing counts an other triumph. Mount Ararat has been successfully ascended by MT Bryce of LincOln's inn. This IS believed to be either the third or fourth ascent, the first having heen made by Parrot in 1884. and the second by Abich in 1850. The mountain is 17,3l2 feet in height, and the 1000 feet had 10 be climbed alone, the CoSSack escort refusing to go further. The Armenians of he neighborhood believe the mountain to be inaccessible, and insist that Noah's ark still remains on the summit. As mountains go, however, Ararat is not particularly hard 10 climb. The peak is sugar-loaf peak of volcanic origin covered with snow, and as no glaciers descend the mountain, there are none of their added dangers to meet.

The Summer I'm Spain.

A London Times correspondent in
Spain writes an amazing account of the
terrible neat which afflicted that country
during the past summer. The unusu-
ally high temperature scorched and melt
ed all interest in everything else. Rev
olutions were comparatively cold, and
politics made no figure at all. The peo-
pie turned the twenty-four hours of the
day inside out, and all business neces-
sary to be done was done at night. The
day was utterly dead, and the sun shone
on very few animate forms. Near Cadiz,
the location of the correspondent, the
temperature rose to 166 degrees in the
sun, and field laborers refused to at
tempt 10 work under it at lad per day of
twelve hours. The chronicler relates
that while he was writing,at IL 80 p. m.,
the two candles on his table mad bent
and twined like snakes from the heat,
and were burning-fame downward,
and wasting on his table. Under such
conditions the sunshiny day was lodged,
and the night was converted into busi-
ness purposes. Only enough work was
done to sustain life for the time being,
and to do this the whole country was
illuminated with artificial light. The
people all abandoned the daytime by the
instinct of self-preservation and swarmed
under the umbrella of darkness for
safety.

American Goods Making Their Way.


There is no doubt of the fact that
American goods, because of their honest
make and the sterling wear there is in
them, are obtainining preference among
purchasers over English goods. An
American manufacturer of the Southeast,
being somewhat incredulous respecting
the frequent averments that American
goods were actually obtaining foothold
in English markets, determined to make
tour of inspection for himself. He ac-
cordingly visited England, Scotland,
Ireland and Wales, and was agreeably
surprised to find decided verifcation
of the stories he had heard.
The wholesale jobbers and the retail
ers of Liverpool, Manchester, London,
Glasgow, Edinburgh, Belfast and Dub
lin are enthusiastic in their praises of
American goods. They stated that the
strong competition among English and
Continental manufacturers had been so
sharp and their desire of making money
80 great for years past that damaging
authorizations had become the rule in
goods of all kinds, and that the people
were becoming utterly sick of paying
money for fabrics that were really of no
value. 1t was stated that American
goods gave great satisfaction, and that
their sale would probably greatly in
crease, provided there was no departure
from the integrity of their make.
These facts are very encouraging.
America ought to reach point at no
very remote period of time when she
could manufacture all of her cotton in her
home mills.-.St. Louis Republican.

How long does it take to transmit
message through the Atlantic cable ?
The New York Journal of Commerce
has been investigating this question. and
simple as it looks at first sight, there
are many singular and interesting points
in the answer. When the electricity is
applied to the cable at one end, two
tenths of second pass before any eff
feet is felt at the other end, and three
seconds are consumed before the full
force of the current is in action. The
first signal is felt in four. tenths of Il
second, but the following ones go
through more rapidly. As many as
seventeen words have been sent over the
Atlantic cable in one minute fifteen
can usually be sent under pressure, and
twelve words minute is q good work
ing rate. Messages of twelve words
have been sent all the way from New
York to London in two minutes. A fact
not yet explained by the scientists is
that the electricity does not move as
rapidly from New Yo2k to London as in
the opposite direction
