Anecdote Of Lord Byron.

Those who have ever heard anything
of the personal characteristics OF Lord
Byron have heard Of his extreme SEN
sitiveness regarding his personal ap.
pearance. The slight defect OF one OF
his feet was source Of lifelong and
painful annoyance. Personal cieanll-
ness even to the very minutest partlc-
ulars he regarded as a prime necessity.
A speck of oirt under mans finger
nail was, in his estimation, abCminable;
at all events, he would not give his
hand to such. 1t is related OF the poes
that once upon time some one In
| formed him that Walter Savage Landor
intended to introduce him, satirlcally I.
into a new ''imaginary conversation,
eff he does," said Byron, Il VII!

To be pretty is the great object OF
almost every living woman, even those
who lecture upon the Improperly OF
doing SO.
Beautiful women spend a great deal
Of thought upon their own char ms, and
homely women grow homely through
fretting because they are not hand
some.
Men, at least when they are young,
are very like women in this respect,
though they hide their feelings bet
ter.
There is one comfort to the homeiy
ones, however.
After you come to know people very
intimately. you do not know whether
they are pretty or not.
Their s.ways,' make an impression
on you, bat not their noses ana ears
their eyes and mouth.
In time, the soul expresses itself 70
YOU. and it is that which you see.
A man who has been married twenty
years scarcely knows what his VIE
| looks like.
He may declare that he does, anc
tell YOU that she is a bewitching little
blonde, with soft blue eyes,, long aItel
she is fat and red and forty; because
the image Of his early love Is III M
heart, and he does not see neI a. su'
to-day but as she was when ne court
ed her.
Or, being an Indifferent husband, b
may not know that she IS tho In
woman that other people think her.

A Frenchman proposes to reach the
North Pole by means Of a balloon. All
other methods of travelling in the Arc
tic regions having failed, recourse, ne
saws. must be had to aerostation. By
this means alone can the hitherto IN
surmountable difficulties experienced
in attempting to traverse the noun
tains of ice which bar the way to the
desired object be overcome. Captain
Mares, he maintains, might have
reached the pole in very few hour:
had he been provided with aerostatl'
appliances.

The Victory of q Hardwear Clerk.

A Sprightly- looking man with sandy :

tered a hardware store yesterday,
where he encountered the head clerk. :
whose humor frequently takes prac-

the clerk.
s'But, assure you, ST."

"But, my dear sir

else. Don't want even a tin horn
By this time the sprightly-looking
man had unbuckled the straps OF his
valise, dipped down into land brought

bic. we think, to establish q tribunal |
that could be less the subject Of party
criticism than such a one. The prln- |
ciple of its construction is SO absolute
ly fair that we are not able to perceive
how the most extreme partisan can
assail it, unless he prefers to embark
his wishes upon the stormy sea OF un-
regulated procedure, hot disputes and
dangerous results, that can neither be
measured nor defne', rather than
fixed and regular course Of law that
ensures the peace and order of society,
what ever party may be disappointed
in it's hopes. The unfortunate circum-
stances that no provision had been
| made on the subject before the elect
ion has greatly added to the difficulties
of the committees in dealing with it
such as that many of the people OF
the country, members of the respec-
tive political parties, will perhaps
look with jealousy on any measure
that seems to involve even the proba-
bility of the defeat OF their WlSpes !,
but it has also led the committees TO
feel that their members are bound by
the highest duty in such a case to let
no bias or party feeling stand in the
way of a just, equal and peaceful
measure for extricating the question
from the embarrassment that at pres
ent surrounds it.
IN CONCLUSION

upon Congress the necessity OF &
speedy determination upon this
, subject. 1t is impossible to estimate
the material loss the country dali.
