A Louisville Fashion Note.

Some Of the pretty girls, with their
glove-ftting walking-dresses, look as If
they we're fed upon canary bird seed,
and three seeds made meal. Their
dresses fit 'em SO tight that If they were
to eat a cracker they couldn't wear 'em.
Why, some of 'emgo hungry aweek before
they venture out, so that they can wear
their dresses to the matinee, and up and
down Fourth Street without giving EN-
cramps. They are tighter than their
skins. They can sit down in their
skins, but they can't in walking dress.
Some of them look like perambulat-
ing -four barrels, with head sticking
out of one end of 'em and feet at the
other. They make lean girl look thin,
and make fat one look like she's liable
to bust at any moment. We admire,
and always will, a neatly made, well
fitting, respectfully heightened walking
dress. We think they are beautiful
when modestly worn, but we think
some of the pretty girls carry the fash
ion to extremes, and overdo the thing;
and they subject themselves to common
remark by the corner loafers and black
guards as they pass. All, girls, we love
you; the older we get the prettier you
grow, and we advise you to wear your
pretty .walking-dresses within the
bounds of genteel modesty, and you'll
win the admiration of all true gentlemen,
and the respect of all mankind.-COur-

Victoria in Public.

The Queen has of late been pleased
to show herself more than her wont to
her "faithful SUBJECTS and the sight
of the "Queen's horses and the Queen Is
men =" in the parks and drives of the
fashionable quarters is clearly a most
enjoyable treat to those whose optics
for so long period have been deprived
from beholding that august parsonage,
the Empress of India. This is the first
time since the death of her husband
that Queen Victoria has appeared much
in public, and the supper tel" and the
"great unwashed :" of the metropolis
enjoy it each in their own fashion.
. A stranger on the streets would soon
be aware Of the approach of the Queens
carriage. If you are promenading Pic
cadilly on an afternoon, suddenly you
may see few bobbies," as the Lon
don policemen are cacophonously dub
bed by the little street gamins, advance
in the roadway and with digital signs
clear the course somewhat. The fam
eurS of Bond Street, the butcher and
baker on their rounds, the beggar
and inevitable small boy, all stop
and gather, on the curbstones
to salute and gaze on imperial majesty.
Presently .magnificently dressed outrid-
ers in scarlet coats, neat breeches and
cockaded hats, with a broad band of
Grape on the left arm, still indicative of
the Queen's mourning for her husband,
appear in sight, gaily careening along.
These are followed by a detachment of
Horse Guards, who cut splendid figure
with their FURNISHED breastplates and
helmets with waving plumes, swords
drawn, and their prancing steeds,
proudly conscious Of their high dignity,
covered with gorgeous trappings, make
a tout ensemble specially attractive to
the eye. More scarlet liveried outriders
follow, and then the open carriage of
royalty, drawn by four of the most SUI
peru specimens Of the equine race. Two
of them are led by positions. There
is no doubt of the popularity of the
Queen with the masses of her subjects;
but the "lady of the land " is par er-
celzence Alexandra, Princess Of Wales.

A. California Snake Story.

The periodical sea-serpent stories
which 90 the rounds of the press are no
doubt to great extent fictitious. o.
casionally notices are seen of huge land
serpents, which, after hot encounter
with the finder, usually HE themselves
to their holes, and are never captured.
About year since very large snake
was said to have been seen in the hills
back of the town of Martinez. We have
no thrilling story to relate, but only de-
sire to record the fact that 7. o. Carter
and Daniel Cleaves, residents of An
tioch, and gentlemen well known in the
county, while riding horseback in the
Diablo Hills, near Round Valley, last
Tuesday, were made to realize that
something unusual lay in the path they
were pursuing by the peculiar action of
their steeds, which suddenly refused to
go forward, and nearly unseated their
riders. A moments investigation of the
cause revealed to them the fact that a
monster snake lay in semi-dormant
state few feet ahead of them. Scarcely
believing their eyes did not deceive
them, Carter, who had a shotgun,
emptied the contents of both barrels,
aiming at the head of the serpent, which
Strengthened itself inthe throes of death.
When assured that life was extinct,
Cleaves measured the snake with car
penter's rule, and found its length to be
81 feet. The body was from three to
four inches in diameter. The snake was
of greenish color, and had apparently
Just shed his winter coat. The fact that
so large member of the snake species
should exist in our county seems almost
Incredible, yet Messrs. Carter and
Cleaves both vouch for the accuracy OF
the measurement, and assure US the
length above given is without eIaggera-
tion.-Antioch( Cal.J Ledger.

sional schools is supplemented by a.
score of special institutions whose grad
yates ore qualified to direct every species
of industrial and agricultural enterprise,
and by number Of business colleges
framed on the model of the Ecole TUr-
got, whose pupils are fitted for the sew
eral branches of foreign and domestic
trade. But of schools for workmen the
State has none, ii except the establish
ment founded by the Sandman Govern
ment and transferred to France upon
the annexation of Savoy and Nice. It
is true that q few municipalities have
created apprentice schools, but their
number is extremely limited. Paris has
only one institution Of the kind-the APP
prentice school of the Boulevard de la
Villette. This, however, merits special
attention because, according to Prot. Stu
art of Cambride University, it presents
the most perfect type of an industrial
academy. We may add that at his sug-
gestion fac-simile Of it is about to be
organized in England.
The single object of this school, first
opened in 1873, is to produce intelli-
gent and skillful workmen. The speci-
fic callings for which its pupils are
trained are those of workers in iron and
workers in wood. Boys are admitted
between the ages of IS and 16, after an
examination which has regard to Or
typography, arithmetic, and the metric
system. Not only is tuition gratuitous,
but deserving students receive once q
fortnight certain compensation for
their labor, varying from forty cents to
dollar. The period of apprenticeship
is three years. During the first two
years days labor includes six hours
in the workshop and five in the class,
while for the last year it means eight
hours Of practice with tools and three
hours of study. Among other judicious
features of the plan, we may note that
during the first twelvemonth the pupil
passes one or two months alternately in
each of the specialties taught, SO that
he can determine which suits his taste,
while the directors can observe his apti-
tudes. Only at the beginning Of the
second year does the apprentice, with
the advice Of his parents and teachers,
decide upon given trade, to which
thenceforward he devotes himself ex-
clusively.
The creation of this school would
have been impracticable during the
second Empire, and under the existing
regime it has encountered many obsta-
Giles. Yet its progress has been remark
able. The number of apprentices,
which four years ago was II, is now
nearly 200. But it was the quality of
the education conferred which most i'm
pressed Prof. Stuart. Two things
commonly supposed to be irrcconcila-
BILE in practice had been effected. In
the class which had just completed
three years. course he found each grad
uate, in the most exacting sense, a skill
ed workman. Not only this, but he
found these apprentices had acquired
general knowledgeat least equal to that
bestowed by most business colleges, and
of kind far more pertinent to the af-
fairs of life than that demanded by
degree of Bachelor of Arts. In other
words, the young workman had gone
forth from this admirable school at once
a producer and citizen.

whereas IN flennd, IrdSuc, anu
throughout Austria the industrial acad-
emies were created by private enter
prise, although they receive a subsidy
from the State. Passing to other
countries, we find the idea of technical
training for the working classes has
born but meager fruit in Switzerland,
although the system of rudimentary in
struction is singularly efficient. There
exists, it is true, what is known as an
Industrial School, where pupil gains
some acquaintance with the theory of the
applied sciences, but very little help
toward the practical mastery of a given
craft or calling. In Italy, too, not
much has been accomplished for the
