Worthless Reauties.

Somehow or other all the famous beau
ties known in history and in modern
newspapers have begun or ended with a
loss of reputation. Between Helen of
Troy and Mrs. Langtry there is long
list of Greek, Roman, Italian, French,
German, English and other women IA
nous as beauties, not one of whom
deserved particle of the re-
spect due to a good Amerl-
can girl or matron who keeps out of the
newspapers, as any woman can do when
she chooses. Lola Montez was a pro-
fessional beauty from Europe who visited
America. Nobody here could discover
her eauty, but it had been worshiped by
king of most ancient and heroic line
age. Mrs Rousby was an English profes-
sional beauty who had achieved conquests
which made her a heroine of the London
society journals But she had little sue
cess in America, where prettier and bet
ter women abound. Her beauty was fatal
to her character, and led to excesses that
killed her at an age when really beau,
tiful and good woman ought to be at hel
stage of perfection.

Flannel ShrOuds.
[Cornhill Magazine.I

At the Restoration, the clergy took the
existing registers into their charge and
became the national registrars. During
the reign of Charles H., singular act
was passed, which left conspicuous
mark on the parish records. 1t was
meant to "lessen the importation of
linen from beyond the seas, and to en-
courage the woolen manufacture of this
Kingdom;" and with these objects it pro-
vided that the dead should be buried in
wooden only. Compliance with its re-
quirements was often noted in the regis
ters; occasionally in every burialentry
individually, as at West Brakeman, in
Norfolk, where each insertion contains
the words: "Buried in woolen, and
nothing but woolen, as appeared by afli-
davt." This affidavit the statute re-
quired to be made by the friends of the
deceased, and to be brought to the ofli-
ciating clergyman. A prejudice still ex.
listing among the lower classes in favor Of
shrouds made of flannel is no doubt al
outgrowth of the now obsolete compul
ory usage of 200 years ago.

physics and metallurgy, Sir Joseph Whit

natural beauty in the grounds of their
country seats that art can produce. Sir
Henry Bessemer himself planned out all

English Elections.

The campaign on which Mr.. Gladsto
is about to enter to oust Lord Dalkelth
from his seat in Parliament promises to
be one of the most remarkable IN the
annals of Parliamentary warfare. The
last contest which arrested the attention
of England was that OF Lord Colin
Campbell against Mr.. Malcolm, and prior
to that the Galway election, of which
the costs of Mr.. Trench, a son of Lord
Clancarty, were over $60,0OO. That sum
would have been deemed small early in
the century, when Wilberforce and
Brougham won their triumphs.
Probably the most costly election within
century was that in Northamptonshire
between the houses of Spencer and Comp
ton, which are reported to have cost eacf
side over $5OO,OO0, and had the effect O
sending Lord Northampton into exile
for life, while Lord Spencer was only
saved from ruin by having the hords o
his grandmother, old Sarah Of Marlbor
ough, to fall back upon. The excep
tional feature in Mr.. Gladstone's case
a candidate in such a contest being no
only an ex-Premier but a septuagenarlan
Recent enactments have made it almos
impossible fop an election to cost NOR
than 100000. The enormous expendl
ture in former days was mainly due t
the polls being kept open for weeks, tn
electors getting drunk all the time on ire

Cows Affect on For a snake.

|oSucIiophi6 N'' ~ N'"A'SN'1
George A. Judson, of Black Lake, has
COW which formerly had been an excel
lent mixer. Lately the animal has given
much less quantity, and her udder be-
came caked and her leg swollen. One
night last week she did not return with
the other cows. and search was made for
her, but without success that night. The
next morning the hired man started out
to look for her. Afterwards he found
her, and lying coiIed near was huge
snake, las large as fence stake" the
man graphically explained. The COW
was tied up for day or two, and then
turned loose again. That night she did
not appear but the next morning she
came around, but MIXED dry. This is q
strange case of affection between the COW
and his snakeship.

Richelieu's Relaxation.
ICham hnrsl IAllrnal


Cardinal Richelieu, we are told, spent
his hour of relaxation in leaping over the
furniture, and on one occasion he was
discovered jumping with his servant to
try which could reach the high side of a
wall. De Grammont, knowing the Car
dinal to be jealous of his powers, offered
to jump him for wager-a proposal
which shows the courage as much as the
event showed the diplomacy of the cour
tier. The offer was accepted, but De
Grammont took care that his leaps should
never quite reach those Of his Eminence
and thus he lost a few louis, but gained
speedy and high promotion by the ia
vor of his triumphant and gratifed op
ponent.

Colonel Gordon's work.

Colonel Gordon is about to proceed to
Upper Egypt, in order to conclude a
peace between the Khedive and the
King Of Abyssinia. He bears with him
documents from the British and French
Governments forbidding Abyssinla &c

and recommending the King tf

awaits mercantile adventures, and is
willing to place his services at the dis

improved the navigation of the river,
taught the natives the use of money, es-
tablished telegraphic communication

A curious institution still exists in
