Mrs. Schiller, vile of German
farmer in South Australia, is six feet
four inches high, weighs 246 pounds,
and recently astonished her husband
and the community by presenting the
former with FIVE children-three boys
and two girls-at one birth! The
Deighbors Of the Schulers donated
various small articles and money
TO assist Mr.. Schuler's family, and a
sixpenny subscription was started IN
the colony for their benefit. A full
account of the case has been trans
mitted to the secretary for the colonies
at London in order that it may be laid
before the queen, and Victoria, herself
the mother OF a large family, will no

Sentimental and Tragic Flirts.
rIIntann Lon

How much mischief the Sc sentimental flirts
do in their day They give you the impres-
sion that you and only you are the one sweet
woman whose love is needed for their hap
piness. Your touch can heal them, your
smile rejoice, your love render blessed.
You give into the fond llluson-one of the
most seductive 10 true woman-and fud
that you are just taken as an experimental
list takes cat or dog for vivisection and
that you are only one of many who have
been so taken before you to illustrate that
point of female credulity and woman soft
heartedness which the fiirs has set himself to
learn by all the methods given to man. Or
take the tragic hlrt from the other side of
the house, beautiful little wo-
man with the big eyes and
the melodious voice who sings sad
love songs as If she felt them, and around
whom melancholy clings as a graceful gar
ment, how many men has she not captured
and drowned in the unfathomable abyss of
her vanity. She looks all sorrow, and her
and no neither milestone is harder, more
prosaic; she gives you the impression of one
seeking consolation, and the merriest little
buds is not more light of heart, more free
from care. She is a sham all throughout,
and she attitudinizes-she does not feel.
But clever men believe in her, and good
ones fall down and worship her, ami she
rides on the crest of the wave in the worlds
esteem, while her sister, who disdains false
hood and coquetry alike, gets only scant ad
miration, and her heart, which never de
ceived human being. is disregarded as q
common kind Of thing, worth little love and
less endeavor.

VOORHEES, ON BLAINE.
"Blaine Overwhelmingly


Mr.. Voorhees, speech on "Wednesday in
the Senate was an exceedingly able effort.
The New York World characterized it es the
brightest effort that he has so far made in
the Senate, while the Sun says it literally
overwhelmed Mr. Blaine, 20 whom large por-
tons of 1t he addressed.
The special dispatch to the Sun says:
The eliminating point In the debate came
in a speech from Mr.. Voorhees, of remarkable
power. He excoriated Mr.. Blaine for his asper-
the record of Indiana and the Northwest with
New England In the Mexican war, putting the
latter IN the most odions light. ae tainted
troops at Buena Vista. Mr.. Voorhees's refer
ences to Mr. Blaine were SO severe that the at
tention OF the whole chamber was at once ar
rested. Mr.. Blaine was so hard pressed by Mr.
Voorhees, avermenis that he tncautiousiy de-
call which Mr.. voorhees, utilized with ready
effect. Mr.. Voorhees, next passed to the use of
the To onaTy eeetons and IN tbence
Mr.. Conkling's charge of the presence of Con-
federate brisadiers in the Senate. Mr.. Voor-
ing Republican senators, to show that they
had many opportunities to reward soldiers by
the politicians. Mr.. Voorhees, closed with a
long and striking list of ex-Confederate off,
GERS appointed TO conspicuous positions after
braced Alderman, Grants attorney general !;
Key, Mosby, Longstreet, Judge Hughes, James
l.. Orr and others. He read with marked
Der, 1876, saying that Hayes had not been
chosen president of the United States by the
people. Mr.. blaine was eager to reply 10 Mr..
Voorhees,, but he had been too badly damaged
to come back with much force. He had been
literally overwhelmed.
The Worlds special says:
The army bill came up, and furnished an oc-
casion for two very strong political speeches
by Senators Beck and voorhees,. Mr.. Beck
gave some testimony as to the uses to which
troops had been put in Kentucky. He made a
very effective of Mr.. Garfield's speech In
the House, as illustrating the differences in
the Republican ranks on the pending queS-
ton.
Mr.. Voorhees, speech was the brightest effort
| he has made in the senate. Blaine had occu-
pied the floor some time in one OF his charac
teristic efforts reading from the South
| ern school-books of days, and
| inviting attention generally to the gross
wicloedness the Democrats were guilty OF In
past days. Mr.. Voorhees, began by lamenting
that Mr.. Blaine preferred to be hyena rather
than a lion, that ne should prefer to prey on
the corruptions of the past rather than live
and act among the living principles of the
present. Mr., Voorhees, said he intended to
/ unmask what he called the hypocritical pol
| itics of the Republican party. He did not
| spare words in describing the hollowness OF
| the Republican professions of love for the
| Union soldier. He showed that of the l50 en-
4 ployes of the Senate under the Republicans
| only six had been wounded Union soldiers
and all of these had been retained by the
| Democrats, in spite of the assertions of the
Ohio Republican platform.
