Why Women in Paris Should Carry
HOrsewhips.

re. G. Fulton's Letter to the Baltimore Americana
1t is still impossible for a young lady to
walk the streets of Paris, unless accom-
panied by gentleman or an elderly
lady, without being insulted. All such
who are alone are regarded as of doubtful
character. If they stop to look in at a
window they are sure, if young and
handsome, to be accosted by some of the
young men who throng the streets. A
young Partisan lady never dares to go
out alone; consequently, there is seldom
much of youth and beauty to be seen on
the streets. Until she walks the streets
with her husband she seldom walks with
them or sees them, except from a car
riage window. All who have the
temerity to disregard this practice and
venture abroad alone must expect to be
accosted and followed, and smiled at and
winked at. They are defying custom
and habit, and are being taught the
homely lesson that when they are in
Turkey they must do as the Turkeys
do" We heard some American ladies
complain to-day that they had been
winked at and smiled at by strangers
whilst at " Au Bon Marche" on shop
ping expedition. They had supposed
that they would be safe there from in
suit and they could ego it alone" after
riding there and home again. The store
windows of Paris possess great attrac-
tions to American ladies and they would
enjoy stroll along the boulevards inn
mensely, but this is positively denied
them, unless they have male com.
panion or can induce some elderly old
lady to go along with them as their
chaperone. But the misfortune is that
there is nothing more fatiguing than
this enjoyment, and the old ladies can
not stand it we'll. Their only chance,
therefore, is to disguise themselves so as
to look aged and ugly and ungraceful
and they can have as large liberty rs
they desire to roam where they will.

brigade, then in the service of France.
At this unexpected discovery the Dau-

The Women Of Cincinnati Re.
frain from Gossip and Drink
Cheap Beer and Wine.

"Gath =" says in the Philadelphia
Times: The wife of President Hayes is
hardly an exceptional specimen Of the
ladies of Middle Ohio. He belongs to
another type, the steady habits civiliza-
tion of Connecticut and Vermont; but
his fascinating wife is reminder of the
Virginian- -Ohioans. The women of this
region are generally brunettes, with
dark gray or darkly fringed eyes; often
hazel colors or the brown predominating.
The blondes are generally fattish, and
all are as well fed as their beef cattle.
They are confident and outspoken, yet
with true modesty that never shippers.
The gossip life and unfounded assump-
tions or servile social concessions which
belittle Eastern intercourse do not take
the nerve out of young people in the
West. And in Cincinnati no healthy de-
sire is fettered by social law. The best
ladies go to the pleasure gardens on the
high mountainous hills which enfold
Cincinnati and sip beer or wine, both SO
cheap here as to be almost free, and
listen to fine music. These gardens are
reached by steam inclined planes or
lifts, which, in minute, hoist a multi.
tude out of the depths of the city to
plateaussi six to seven hundred feet in the
air. By night and on Sundays these
gardens are in full blast; the clergy and
the bridal couple are found there, and
they have become the lyceums of musical
taste. Notwithstanding this freedom oil
public intercourse, Cincinnati is one Of
the most virtuous cities on our cont
nent, family loyalty being based OF

A Queen City Steed on the Rampage

The Cincinnati Enquirer says the
freaks of the Bull in the china shop"
were equaled, if not surpassed, by those
of Charley Burkhardts horse on Central
avenue. Charley is butcher, and the
owner of fiery, untamed steed, which,
if it takes such notions for spring,
very often, is liable to be an expensive
animal to his owner. He was standing
attached to a light spring-wagon on
Sixth street, about one o'clock, when a
passing watering cart sprinkled his legs,
which so terrified him that he started
off at terrific pace toward Central ave-
nue., soon leaving the wagon and Mr..
Burkbardt far behind him. He kept
his mad course up Central-avenue to
ward Fifth-street, running up against a
street-car and demolishing a couple of
panes of glass in the windows. At Fifth
street he was caught and turned over to
his owner, who started to lead him home,
but at Sixth-street and Central-avenue
the horse again broke away and dashed
madly up the street. At the corner of
GeOrge-street is a saloon and bill
liard-room run by Charles Westphal, into
which the horse in his blind, maddened
race burst, breaking the doors off their
hinges and shattering the glass windows
on the sides in every direction. Once
in he started down past the bar for the
billiard-room, which he was about en-
tering, when frightened back by the pro-
prietor. He rushed around wildly, break
ing the furniture, rearing up against the
walls, and smashing the pictures into
fragments, finally attempting to get out
of window. This being too small to al
low him exit, after crashing through
the glass, the now bleeding, infuriated
animal again started for the door. By
this time Mr.. Westphal had taken hold
of him, but was dragged through the
door and out into the street, without
succeeding in stopping the animal,
which started off again down Central
avenue. Here he ran across a sprink-
ling-wagon, the original cause of his
fright, and, as if to take his revenge out
of it, jumped on to the rear end, tear
ing away the sprinkler, then on down
the avenue, scattering the pedestrians
in every direction, till running foul oi
an express-wagon, he jumped into it and
demolished it beyond redemption
Breaking loose again he continued his
course, leaping over pile of cordwood,
and in the attempt stumbling and rolling
over on the curbstone, getting badly
bruised up. He was up again in mo
ment and tearing down the street, bu
this time two men, Michael Kelly anc
Charles Bratzler, succeeded in stoppins
him, and turned him over to Officer Sui
livan, who gave him up to his owner
and the last seen of him was the latte
leading him home, pretty we'll battered
and thoroughly cowed. His owner will
have fine time settling up the various
little bills for damages ex
press-wagon, sprinkler, saloon ant
billiard-room furniture, glass, picture
and doors, not to speak of his own wagon

in its nature, that we may well shrink
from considering its more seriousaspects,
in view of its almost boundless posi-

happily, no shade without sunshine, and
it is not without its comical though not
less vexatious sides. Fifty or sixty
dollars at most, Mr. Edison informed us,
would cover the expense of placing one

Suicide Rather Than Go to School,

Dana Hyde, lad aged twelve
years. was found hanging dead from
a rafter in the loft of a barn in
Owego village this morning. Of
late Dana had eyinced great dread
of attending school, and had been
heard to say that he would rather
throw himself under a railroad train
than GO to school another day. He
was at school last on the Monday
previous to election, and had been
playing truant since. On the inquest
held this afternoon it was brought
out that he had been in the habit of
reading dime novels and weekly
story papers. DR.. H. n. Eastman in
testimony gave it as his opinion that
the boy could not have been in his
right mind at the time of committing
the act. Dana was the son of Samuel

place.--Binghampton On. Y. } Repub-

A Serious Joke With q Bell Punch.

BARRIERS, Dom Bazy, has adopted
the bell punch in his establishment
to record the work done, each bar
her ringing the punch for every
shave, haircut or shampoo. To-day,
while all the BARRIERS were absent at
dinner, save Long Wiley, the latter
fell asleep. Some practical jokers,
seeing him asleep, and knowing of
the system. slipped in, secured the
machine, punched about twenty five
shaves, and quietly retired. This
evening, when the time came for
settlement, twenty-five shaves were
punched that were not paid for.
Suspicion at once fastened on Wiley,
and, as he could not account for the
discrepancy, quarrel ensued. His
fellow BARRIERS fell upon Wiley and
beat him brutality, so much SO that
he will die.-Springfisld (O) Dis.

The Right Time to Ask Her.

Young men contemplating mar.
rage have so frequently called upon
us to advise them in the manner OF
popping the all-important question
that we have concluded to give our
opinion once for all. Never propose
to a young lady after hearty meal.
The blood is needed to aid digestion,
and her imagination is chilled. Nor
should it come just before a meal.
for the longings of an importuned
system conduce to anxiety and irrita-
bility, and the shock may prove
hazardous. 1t would be better to
select the evening and invite her to
some entertainment which you know
she wants to attend, and then pro-
pose to her just as she is ready to
start. Thi. will be greatly to your
advantage, for she will easily see
thst a rejection will upset an
evenings amusement.-Ladys Jour-

JOSEPH F. AUDE's CASE.

The examination Of Joseph F.
Aude on . charge Of grand larceny
in abstracting from the Virginia
agency OF the Nevada Bank Of san
Francisco certificates Of 900 shares
Of Qphir stock, has been in progress
before Justice Knox, in Virginia
City, for three days. The evidence
taken seems to make out much
stronger case against Mr.. Aude than
was at first supposed to exist. It
seems that, for . year past, he has
systematically falsified the accounts
of the fume, mill and mining COM
panies in which the bonanza firm
are interested, by charging against
them various amounts Of money
which he caused to be placed to bis
father's credit.
