LIBELED BEAUTIES,

Those famous English beauties, Mrs.
Langtry, the Jersey Lily" and Mrs.
CORVALLIS West have at last been COM
PEELED to appeal to the courts for protec-
ton. They have caused the arrest of
Adolph Rosenberg, the editor and pub
Usher of Clown Talk" trashy London
society" journal, for malicious libel.
The libel in the case of the "Jersey Lily"
consists in stating that Mr.. Langtry had
filed petition for divorce against his
wife; in which petition he has made the
Prince of Wales and two or three noble
lords correspondents. These statements
had been reiterated during period of
several weeks, but had never been con-
tradicted until this recent arrest. As a
consequence the report in the Clown
Talk" had received general credit.
Mrs. CORVALLIS West was charged
with negotiating with photographers and
demanding commissions on the sale of
her photographs. The husbands of the two
prosecuted beauties appeafed in Court as
prosecutors and swore that there was not
the slightest foundation for the allega-
tions made by the man Rosenberg. Mr..
West testified that he had done all in his
power to prevent the sale Of his wifc's
photographs. Is it possible that in En-
gland there is no legal way to
restrain the manufacture and sale
of ones portrait or ones wife's por-
trait9 A short time before
his death the elder Dumas was
coaxed into sitting for his photograph in
company with the celebrated Ada Isaac
Menken. The position of the pair was
simply cordial-no more. The artist
multiplied the copies until all Paris was
in glee. The enraged novelist resorted
to the courts and police, and had the OBJ
noxious pictures suppressed and the
artist punished. Has an Englishman no
such redress?

THE DELUDING BIvALvE.

Doubtless the most insidious of the
mollusca is the cold and unsympathetic
oyster. AS taken from the sea, clothed
in his pearl-lined but externally repellant
habiiments, he gives little idea of the
broils and stews that he is capable of lur-
ing mans unsuspecting nature to partici-
pating in; of the gorging at unreasonable
hours that he inveigles the unwary to the
indulgence of through the too persuasive
fragrance with which he assails the nos
trils and the alluring titillations with
which he beguiles the palate. Darwinian
philosophers, it is true, have sought to
trace to this seductive bivalve the original
germ of the human mammal, but the
claim is preposterous. There is no SYM
pathy whatever between these extremes
of sentient vitality. The very instinct
of man when he sees the succulent mass
of pulp upon half-shell is to put
it down instantly, even though, as
is sometimes the case, the adventitious
aids of lemon and cayenne are requisite
to overcome the stomach's reluctance to
this forced and unnatural intimacy;
and yet the oyster has fourished from
time immemorial, has maintained his
sway over man through his carnal appe-
tites, possibly since our first parents at
the Garden of Eden. Recent excava-
ton in Florida have discoyered oyster
shells underlying deposits that indisput-
able geological laws demonstrate must
have required many thousand years to
supply. AT Cherry Stone Inlets, over on
the north shore, opposite Hampton
Roads, there are quarries of oyster shells
along the creek banks where the indians,
from period long prior to the discovery
of Virginia by the English, used to re-
sort to eat these crustacean delicacies.
And by the way local tradition claims
this spot as the place where John Smith
led the jamestown colonists in search for
corn when he was captured and would

THE paper that invented the "Calico"
prefix to Charley Fosters name, may
possibly have builded wiser than he knew.
Lesser things than that have before this
made men famous. Hard cider and the log
cabin had much to do with achieving the
popularity of "Tippecanoe and Tyler

cane i'll 1910. "Rough and ready" un-
doubtedly elected bluff old Gen. Taylor
President in '4S, and "Blue Jeans" made
Williams Governor of Indiana in 1878.
And now the news comes in from the
country towns that the Republican re-
joicings over their recent successes are be-
coming calico jamborees, wherein
the people are absolutely going
wild with the calico boom, and
carrying CONSERVATION into the shops of
country merchants, whose entire stock of
that picturesque commodity is being
bought up and utilized in the great
calico movement. We should Just like
to know what this thing MEANS and
Calico Charley will oblige us greatly by

whether it is the Ohio Senatorship or the
Presidency. We would not like to be
impertinently inquisitive, but the Ohio

tary Sherman did not take the nomina-
tion for Governor of Ohio when he could
