LIVELY DEBATE IN PARLIAMENT
The debate on Lord HartingtOn's resolution
against the English governments policy on the
Eastern question was commenced in the House
OF commons last evening with speech by the
mover. He cenSured the government for not
having before the war approved of the de-
mands OF Russia upon Turkey, which did not

In regard to Greece he said the government
had made promises which were not fulfilled
He denied the existence of British interests i'm

and demonstrated that the governments ut

they were Of the same opinion. He pointed to
the tripartite treaty of 1856 to show the i'm
possibility OF binding poSterity by guaran-
tee: by the present convention the govern
years. I'VE left frontier" he said, with
which the best military authorities of India
were content, and placed ourselves close to
the resources OF our supposed enemy" He

would compel England to exercise a general

clusiOn, that it might have been wiser, from a
party point of view, to postpone his motion,
until it could reap advantage from public dis
appointment, but he considered it more pa
triotic to enable the country, while there was
yet time, to retreat from an unfortunate
course.
The Hon. Randle Plunkett moved, as a vote

hope that the governments efforts would pre-

Sir Charles Dixie believed the convention

made bitter attack on the convention.
Hon. Robert BOurke, under secretary for the
foreign department., believed that England
was never more fayorably regarded by all the
powers, or more influential. Replying to Lord
Harrington, he said the government had not
advised Turkey to accept the original terms of
peace, because She was then making gallant
defence, and such advice would have been
fatal to English influence. Russia would only
be hurt by the convention, if she cherished ag

London Society,"
Much has been said in praise Of
Grecian beauty, and the men are
handsome in every sense Of the
word; we might we'll imagine them
to have been the models of Phidias
and Praxiteles. Their large eyes,
black as Jet, sparkle with chances
of fire, while the long, silky eye
lashes soften the expression and
give a dreamy appearance Of mel
ancholy. Their teeth are small,
white and well set; a fine regular
profile, a pale-oliye complexion, and
a tall elegant figure realize an ac-
complished type Of distinction. AS
to the women, they seem to have
left physical perfection to the men;
some possess fine eyes and hair, but
as a rule they have bad figures, and
some defect in the face generally
spoils the good features. 1t is
among them, however, that the old
Oriental customs are most strictly
preserved; while the men are grad
ually undergoing the process Of civ
ilization, they, In a moral point Of
view, remain stationary, and are
just as they were fifty years ago.

Choesinr a VIE.

A mans first necessity is to find
a woman physically able to support
the cares and duties which attend
that position. Solomon, who from
a large experience with wives ought
to know what constitutes a good
one, described his favorite wife as
one who spun wool and fax and
took care of the house, ETC.; in
short, he means to say that she shall
possess a large share Of physical
potency. 1t is the power to do,
without which no woman deserves
the name of wife. Within the past
decade some young men in choos-

vice Of Solomon, and have since
repented. But young mon are fast
