favor the completion of Railway from the
east bank of the Mississippi river, on the

lands and hundreds of millions of dollars to the
construction and completion of a line of rail
way for the benefit of the northern portion of
the country from the valley of the Mississippi
to the Pacific Ocean, along or near the 43d
parallel of Rorth latitude, known as the
'Union" and Central Pacific Railroads
which said railway line is owned by two com
panies which are gigantic monopolIes having
ger transportation at their own prices from
the Mississippi Valley to the Pacific Coast

United States has no direct railway commu-
nicating between the Pacific and he Atlantic
coasts which is SO essential to the purposes

A WoMAN's LOVE FOR THB BFAr-
TIFUL.-A woman went into bar
ber's shop on q street some weeks
ago, and wanted to know how much
it would cost to dye mans hair
and mustache. The price was named
and she then asked the barber to
get his dye and follow her.
"Why can't the man como here!"
asked the barber. .
Giles dead" replied the woman,
"and the last thing he said When ho
was passing away was "Sally, fix
me up pretty for the funeral" His
hair curled beautifully, but WAS Il.

ceeds, accompanies, and follows tho

an aurora car be predicted. Be
yond the connection of the two, al
most nothing is yet known about

a Singular Method OF tourfiag.

Among the Turkomans of Central
Asia, who may fitly be styled the
Comanches Of the East, the ancient
and much-discussed usage Of "marri-
age by capture" takes the form of a
very singular game, which is univer-
sally popular with the tribes OF the
Lower Oxus. 1t is known by the Gu.
rious application of "kok.burl, "(grcen
wolf a name which has never been
satisfactorily accounted Cor. The mode
of playing is as follows: When a
Turkoman belle finds herself embar.
rassed by a crowd OF rival suitors, her
father settles the matter by assembling
them all in a convenient place on the
open steppe. He then brings out his
daughter, arrayed in the pOmP of
Turkoman "full dress" and sitting
upon n swim horse places in her hand
the carcass of a lamb or kid, well
CREASED from head to tail, with which
she instantly gallops away. The young
gentlemen follow her at full speed,
and endeavor to snatch the prize from
her hands, any one who can succeed
in doing so being thereby entitled to
consider himself 1.-THE happy man" +"
II sometimes happens, Of course, that
when the cavalier who is the subject
of the young lady's secret preference
comes within arms length she will
hold the kid in such way that he
can easily wrest il from her; but should
less favored suitor overtake her she
grasps it with all her strength, and
the ill.starred lover gets nothing but
a good roll in the sand for his pains.
When all is over the father regales
the whole company with a sumptuous
feast OF rice and mutton suet. for which
he afterwards "sends in the bill" to his
future sOn-in.law, who is often any
thing but fiattered by this expensive
compliment.

4 Plea for Uemcn Who are not
H0nds0ms.

Beauty gets plenty Of praise. Poets
sing Of il, romancers furnish il in
abundance to their heroines, dramat.
lists use il ~ the motive Of their most
stirring plays, painters and sculptors
delight to portray it--all the world
worships it; and yet there is much to
be said about the noble qualities Of
ugly women. There j. often more
charm in the vitality. energy, unself.
ishness aud gayety Of an ugly woman,
than in a halfdozen tall, queenly beau.
ties, who have to be on the watch all
the time to pose well and make their
points effective. There have been men
in the world who thought il a fine
thing to say that ian ugly woman
has no place in the economy Of ma
ture." But if the records of the world
were intelligibly written it would be
found that ugly little women have
been the heroines, the helpmeets Of
heroes. It is the function Of beauty
to get men into trouble. Helen OF
Troy, Cleopatra, Mary Queen of Scots,
and hundreds of others, wherever they
came they brought calamity. Beau
ty and anguish have walked hand in
hand the downward slope to death.
and whenever the poet dreams of fair
women he is sure to dream something
doleful. II he were to dream Of ugly
little women il would be full Of bright
ness, loyalty, devotion, sincerity, for
titude, and all those other lovable fe-
male qualities that make some one
happy. Tall Beauty IS epic; Little
Ugly is lyric, homelike. Just think
what deep-seated compliment is in
volved in calling irregularity Of fea-
lures homeliness. II means that she
is not for the hall room, but for the
home, for the friendships that cluster
around the hearth, for the merry lit.
tie sociable, the picnic or the of.hand
game, or the darkened sick room,
where she brings rest and comfort.
Pretty is as pretty does" is an old
whose truth is only half ap-
preciated. For in the plainness of
feature and insignifcance of person
If homely women there is often found
an earnestness. whole.souled sweet
ness and sympathetic expression that
win love far quicker than mere beau
ty. The world could far more easily
afford to lose its supplies of beauty
Ihsn to give up its precious stores of
ugly women. The beauties wait to be
Owed; the others delight in loving
Baltimore Saturday Night.

feeling may be natural, but it is petty
and childish. A man should be
