PIGEON POPPING.
Joe Payne Wins the Second fiaich- The
Score.

The second shooting match between
Joe Payne, of this city, and J. Cook,
Jr., of Denver, took place here yester-
day. The day vas fine, and barring
the rising of the wind, which grew very
strong after the 18th shot, rendering
shooting difficult, a perfect one for the
match. Payne won the match by only
n bird, and this was undoubtedly
owing to Cooks c~arelessness on his
10th and 18th shots. Payne's Goth and
Cooks 18th shot were the finest ones
made, and were duly applauded. Taken
altogether the sport ~ was highly en-
joyed by all present.
Below we give the score of yesterdays
match.

LADIES OF THE WHITE HO USE.

Mrs. Lucy Webb Hayes, who, for the
next four years, will dispense the hospi-
talities of the White House, and receive
the homage due to the first lady of the
republic, is a daughter of DR.. James
Webb, of Chillicothe, Ohio, and grand
daughter of Lieut.. Col Cook, of the
Revolutionary army. She was born and
reared in Chillicothe, married Ruther-
ford B. Hayes, then a rising young law
yer of Cincinnati, in 1852, and is the
happy mother OF five children-four
boys and girl. Mrs. Hayes has always
taken a very active part in promoting
local charities, and was especially noted
for her devotion to the wounded soldiers
of the civil war, in which her husband
bore so distinguished a part. During
her husbands three terms as Governor
of Ohio, Mrs. Hayes has acquired
familiarity with the social ceremonials Of
official station, and her beauty, culture
and refinement make her fitting sue
cessor to the illustrious women who have
stood beside the Chief Magistrates oi
the land, nobIy and fifty enough to show
to what heights free institutions lead
women as well as men,

A WIFE,S POE ER.

A good wife is to a man wisdom,
strength and courage; bad one is con-
fusion, weakness and despair. No con-
dition is hopeless to a man where the
wife possesses frmness, decision and
economy. THERE'S no outward propriety
which can counteract Incidence, extrava-
gance and folly at home. No spirit can
long endure bad influence. Man is
strong, but his spirit is not adamant.
He needs a tranquil mind, and especially
if he is an intelligent man, with a whole
head, he needs its moral force IN the
conflict of life. To recover his compos-
ure, home must be place of peace and
comfort. There his soul renews It's
strength, and goes forth with renewed
vigor to encounter the labor and troubles
of life. But If at home he finds no rest,
and there is met with bad temper, jeal-
ousy and gloom, or assailed with com
plaints and censure, hope vanishes, and
he sinks into despair

At A DASH,

A great deal of brilliant literary labor
has been performed on the spur of the
moment. Byron wrote "The Corsair :"
in ten days, at the rate of 200 lines a
day, and sent it to press as it was writ
ten, publishing it with hardly correc-
ton. Lope de Vega wrote 800 dramas
for the stage in 100 days, the average
amount of his work being 900 lines a
day. Voltaire wrote "Zaire" in three
weeks, and "Olympie" in six days.
Dryden wrote his code to st. Cecilia :"
at a sitting. The finest of Elizabeth
Barrett Browning's poems, 'tThe Lady
Geraldines Courtship," was the work of
twelve hours. It was written to COM
plete the original two volumes of her
poetry, and to send out with her proofs
to America. But, as a rule, the best
work is not to be done alta dash in this
style. "What do you think of
Olympic p" Voltaire asked one of his
friends, after that work was published !;
81 wrote it in six days" "You should
not have rested on the seventh day." was
the answer, and the answer was wise as
well as witty. Shakespeare was not one
of those slapdash workers and Shaks
peare, with his thirty-four plays, has
conquered the world. Even the impul-
sive, sparkling Tom Moore was slow
about writing, and thought it quick work
if he added seventy lines to "Lalla
Rookh ina week, although living out of
the world in his writing box in the Peak
Planche produced his burlesque at an
equally slow rate. thinking ten or dozen
lines day good work. Kinglake's
Eothen," an exquisite trife, was re-
w1itten five or six times, and kept in his
desk almost as long as Wordsworth
kept "The White Doe of Rylstone, %
and kept, like that, to be taken out for
revision and correction almost every
day. And that is the way in which
good, honest work-work that is to be
read tomorrow, and the day after to-
morrow-must be written. SCOTS and
Scribes tI1rn up once in a century.

THE HUMAN FICE.

The countenance of every nation de-
fines the characteristics of it's people.
Every human face indicates a moral
training as well as the temperament and
ruling traits of its owner, just as much
as every human form indicates the quail
ity and amount of its physical exercise.
This is proven by the variety of human
faces everywhere visible. Those whose
lives have been given to physical labor,
unbrightened by an education of ideas,
have always stolid, stupid expression,
even while their limbs and muscles are
splendidly developed. The more savage
the people, The uglier they are in facial
development. The very features of their
faces are disfgured by violent and un-
governed passions. People whose en-
ployments are intellectual have invari-
ably g large, clear gaze, bright, outray-
ing expression, as if from an inward
light shining through vase. Where a
fine organization and deep sensibility
accompany the practice of intellectual
pursuits, often the features take On a
transparent, luminous look. Persons en-
dowed with powerful sensibiity, how
ever plain their features, always have
moments of absolute beauty.

SCENES IN CAIRO.


The traveller who desires to see the
Mohammedan at home cannot do better
than to seek him in Cairo, and he finds
in the narrow, picturesque streets of the
old parts of the old town scenes of inter
est which he may seek in vain elsewhere.
When he emerges into the modern quar-
ters the change is remarkable. Though
| all the tyranny of the Turks has not
sufficed to alter the indelibIe character
istics of the place, and though the wide
squares, the fountains, the gardens, the
arcades, the watered roads, the rows of
villas have half French look, the peo-
pie who crowd every thoroughfare are
as unlike anything European as they
can be. l
Here, long string of groaning camels,
led by Bedouin in white capote, car
ries loads of green clover or long fagots
of sugar-cane. There, half dozen blue
gowned women squat idly i'll the middle
of the roadway. A brown-skinned boy
walks about with no clothing on his
long, lean limbs, or lady smothered in
voluminous draperies rides by on a
donkey, her face covered with trans
parent white veil, and her knees nearly
as high as her chin. A bullock cart
with small wheels, which creak horribly
at every turn, goes past with its cargo of
treacle jars. Hundreds of donkey boys
lie in wait for a fare, myriads of half
clothed children play lazily in the gut
ters, turbaned Arabs smoke long pipes
and converse energetically at the cor
neTs, and every now and then pair of
running footmen, in white shirts and
wide, short trousers, shout to clear the
way for a carriage in which, behind half
drawn blinds, some fine lady OF the vice
regal harem takes the air. She is acs
companied, perhaps, by a little boy in
European dress, and by governess or
nurse whose bonnet and French costume
contrast strangely with the yelled figure
opposite.
A still greater contrast is offered by
the appeataIice of the women who stand
by as the carriage passes, whose babies
are carried astride on the shoulder. OF
sometimes in the basket, so carefully
balanced upon the head. The baskets
hardly differ from those depicted ON the
walls of the ancient tombs, and proba-
bly, the baby, entirely naked and its eyes
full of black flies, is much like what its
ancestors were in the days of the Pha-
raohs. In the older quarters of the
town the scenes are much the same, only
that there is not so much room for OBJ
serving them; and the Traveller who
stops to look about him is roughly han-
died by Hindbad, the porter, with i,is
heavy bale of carpets, or the uncle of
Aladdin, with his basket of copper
lamps, or the water-carrier, clanking his
brazen cups with an immense skin slung
around his STOPPING shoulders.
