Plucky Woman.

There is at least one man in town
who has found out that it Is best to
"look before you leap" Last even
ing a lady, residing on north Spring
street, on returning to her home short
ly after dark, observed a 81 following
her and and acting in a suspicious
manner. Arriving at her residence
and about entering the house, the fel.
low showed no intention of continuing
OH his journey, but rather a disposition
to follow her in. She ordered him from
the premises; he apparently acceded
to the request, but q moment after
entering the house he returned. The
lady seized q cowhide that happened
to be within reach and started in to
give the fellow q game of snap the
whip;" and an irate female, backed by
a substantial cowhide, Don convinced
him that he was overmatched and he
drew u of the game on a keen jump,
with a ~variegated spinal column and
the music Of the whip tingling in his
ears. He had better post himself a
little before starting in again or he may
fare worse next time. There are fe-
males in this enlightened age that can
handle q six-shooter with considerable
skill.

High Heels and Crooked Shtns.

It was worthy of note that while 9
malignant hatred of Chinese individu-
ally is fomented under cover of hostil-
ity to their immigration. our females
have fallen in love with Chinese cos.
tunes, in some respects, and accepted
them as models. The pictures OF
Chinese ladies to which one has been
accustomed for many years bear close
resemblance to the American belle OF
the present day. The repulsive hump.
the crippled feet, and the mincing gait
of our women, if they do not fortify
the DarwinIan theory of the origin of
the species from monkeys, at least give
the appearance of retrograding mon
keyward. The dress, uncouth and de-
formed as it is, would not of itself de-
serve notice but the high heels, Grip
pling the feet and distortiDg the limbs,
are an outrage on grace, on anatomy,
on humanity, emitting the authors,
could they be detected, to criminal re-
sponsibillty. A convention of corn
doctors in the interest of their trade
could not devise better scheme for
good times. Women whose pedals are
solidified may escape with only corns,
of which We hope and pray they may
have full and tender crop. But that
q whole generation of little girls should
have their toes jammed into the toes
of their boots, to do the work of heels,
and that their legs should be thrown
out of their natural balance and the
plant bones bent into semi-circles, is
a sacrifice to fashion which would dis
grace a ration of Hottentots.-Pacifc

Obeying Orders.

That ancient gentleman, Lord VIII
liam Leno1, has been writing about the
celebrities whom he has known during
"reminiscences tell this stery of the
Duke of Wellington "The late Lord
Derby, when having one of his country
mansions decorated, was having the
central floor either painted or tesse-
lated. \ young man was at work on
one q the walls, when the Earl ordered
number of slippers to be thrown on
the door mat, desiring this young man
to order any one that came in to put
on a pair before crossing the passage,
and adding to the order, if one fails to
attend to il, you must take him by the
shoulder and turn him out. Soon after
q party returned from hunting, and the
Duke with his splsshed boots, opened
the door and rushed along the ball.
The young man Immediately jumped
off the ladder on which he was paint
ing, and seizing his Grace by the
shoulder, fairly pushed him out of the
house. In the course of the afternoon
Lord Derby summoned all the house
hold and men at work into my study,
and, seating himself beside the great
warrior, demanded who had the imper-
tinence to push the Duke out of doors.
The painter, ali of a tremble, came for
ward and said 'It was j, my lord.
And pray rejoined the Earl how came
you to do it ? BY your orders my lord.
On this his Grace turned round 10 Lord
Derby and, smiling, drew a sovereign
out of his purse, which he gave to the
workman, adding, You were right to
obey orders.
