It was not, however, till the senior year that
the young men began to suspect that it was tlc

prize. Then Il dozen or Of them buckled
down to their work, and studied late into tho
night to overtake and pass the ambitious lady.

as inducements for unmarried masculine sub

Each lady must ine1ose her photograph, anti,
II she chooses she can express her preference
Tor any one OF the manly candidates for matr!-
monial joys. Some OF the communications aro
very amusing. For instance, lady Of Wabaun-
see County, ka:., writes:

The G%eOrgians.

1t is Il joke among the Russians that
every Georgian is Il noble; and as the
only title of nobility is Prince, the
effect to an English ear of hearing all
sorts of obscure people, codntry post
masters, droshky drivers, sometimes
eve servants, described as being
Prince So-and-so, is at first grotesque.
This at least may he said for the num-
erous nobility, that although it is both
vain and frivolous, it does not despise
honest occupations. Every II has
heard of the Georgian beauties, who, in
the estimation of Turkish importers,
rivalled or surpassed those of Circassia
itself. Among them Il great many
handsome and even some beautiful
faces may certainly be seen, regular
and finely chiseled features, n clear
complexion, large and liquid eyes, an
erect carriage, in which there is II great
deal of dignity as well as of volupuous-
ness. To Il taste, however, formed
upon Western models, mere
beauty of features and figure, without
expression. They want even that viva
city which in the parallel case of the
women of Andalusia, partly redeems
the absence of Intelligence. They are
admirable as pieces of Natures handi-
work, but moi charming. A Turk may
think them perfection; but it may be
doubted whether any one who had seen
the ladies of Cork or Baltimore would
take much pleasure in their society.
However, this is Il point on which peo-
pie will disagree to the end of time, and
those who hold that it is enough to
look at beauty without feeling indeed
talk to her, need not GO beyond
Georgia to find all they can wish. 1t must
be remembered, however, that this low
illness is rather tieeting. Toward mid
die life the complexion is apt to become
sallow, and the nose and chin rather
too prominent, while the ~vacuity of
look remains. One is told that the
women, are, as indeed the whole nation
is, almost uneducated, with nothing
but the pettiest personal interest to fill
their thoughts or animate their lives.
The men are sufficiently good-looking
and pleasing in manner, with, perhaps,
a shade of effeminacy in their counter
ences-at least in those of the lowland.
They do not strike one as a strong race,
either physically or otherwise, with
any future before it; nor have they ever
produced n great man, or done any
thing considerable in history, although
they had civilization and Christianity,
after a sort, ever since the third or
fourth century of our era. They belong,
OF course to the Orthodox Eastern
Church, are now in full communion
with the Church of Russia, of which,
indeed, they may said to be a branch,
though their liturgy differs a little in
some points. During the earlier mid
die ages suspect that they were inHu-
encedby heterodoX Armenia than by
Constantinople; and their ecclesiastei-
cal alphabet, for they have two, is taken
from the Armenian. OF their number
it is difficult to form an estimate; it can
hardly exceed 100000 souls, and may
be considerably less.-Cornhill.

They Asked Him to Play Something.

of Mons. Camille st. Saens, the compos-
er of lie Timbre d. Argent and other
favorite works. lie is extremely near

ty, when the host asked him to play
something. He for a long time refused
to do so, but being earnestly pressed, lie
took his seat at the piano. His hair
was tossed back, his eye CLEANED with
excitement, now he would bend over
the piano, then he would throw himself
back; and all the while his fingers
would run over the keys as he extern
ported some brilliant composition. The
company were delighted. After an hour
pleasure gave place to WEAKNESS. Two
hoursafterward some of the guests began

Mons. st. Saens, more inspired and
more tumultuous than ever, utter
ly unconscious of the incidents around
him played on as fast and frenzied rs
ever. At last about 2 A. NJ, seeing
Mons. st. Saens playing with more ar
dor than ever, the master of the house
completely overcome with fatigue,
became desperate, and laying his hand
on Mons. st. Saens' shoulder, said: 81
beg pardon, my dear sir, but pray are
you not a little fatigued?" Mons. st.
Saens replied, without leaving the
piano, Not in the least!' and
to show how fresh he was he struck
into Il new composition with
wilder enthusiasm than ever.
The host gave up, stole out of
the room and went to bed. At day
break. Mons. st. Saens rose, bowed
gracefully to the tables and chairs, and
went home, completely ignorant that
the chairs and tables had been for hours
his only hearers.

THE LUzERNE STRIKERS. STARVING,
BUT RESOLVED TO STICK.
Scranton, September 2S.-An impor-
tant delegate meeting of miners, rep
resenting all the collieries in Luzerne
county, has been in session here all
day for the purpose of securing
thorough harmony of action through
out the region in reaching the climax
of the present protracted strike. The
meeting has been strictly secret and
representatives of the press have been
rigidly excluded. The delegates re-
ported that the men in the several dis
tricts are as determined as ever to
continue the conflict, although in
many instances there is actual suffer.
ing. The relief stores, which have
hitherto supplied the pressing wants
ofthe most destitute, are falling off in
some localities, and how to furnish
supplies to those who are likely to suf-
fer from the consequences was dis.
cussed at length. The men are
pledged to stand by each other and to-
extend aid to the needy in their ranks,
no matter in what part of the valley
they may be located. The meeting re-
manned in session until late hour,
and although it is almost impossible
to ascertain the result, / am conf
IDENTIFY assured that the unanimous
sentiment was in favor of maintain
ing firm front until such time as the
companies make some concessions.
The companies on the other hand
hold that the strikers are no longer
in their employ and that they will not
treat with them on any consideration
until they resume work. Under these
circumstances it issafe to say there will
be no resumption in this region until
the snow flies.
Fresh complications threaten to rup-
ture the recent arrangements between
Mr.. Parish and his men at Wilkes
barre. The miners demand the dis
charge ofthose who continued to work
the pumps during the strike and the
reinstatement of the old hands. This
Mr.. Parrish will not agree to, and the
men say they will not worry unless he
does. The miners and laborers are
preparing for an immense demonstra.
ton anda public parade, to take place
through the streets of Wilkesbarre and
probably of Scranton atan early date,
