Greenville Murray, in new " Round
About France F" paper, tells how Paris
Is washed, starched and ironed every
week. He says that French laundresses
have an awkward trick Of putting on
the fine linen of their lady customers to
deck themselves withal on festive occa-
sions; and this they do especially at the
yearly festival Of washerwomen which
takes place on the Thursday of Mid
Lent. On that day the laundresses Of
each wash-house elect a Queen-gener-
ally the prettiest girl who washes in the
quarter she in turn nomina es King.
some fascinating young fellow who
drives laundry cart, and the pair be-
ing tricked out in their best are driven
about all day in carriage and pair, fol-
lowed by gallant procession Of other
washerwomen and washermen in vans,
carts, and gigs Of every description. In
the evening there is grand dinner, fol
which two or three lavoirs club together,
and the proceedings wind up with
ball. During Mi-Careme week ladies
have often to complain that their smart
est petticoats, silk stockings, and laced
handkerchiofs are missing, for the
Queens get themselves up regardless Of
other peoples expense, and are never
so pleased as when they can find among
their customers bundles the materials
for snowy bridal costume, all white
and fresh.

Keeping His Head Clear.

A noted operator in stocks declined an
invitation to take glass Of wine.
"Why," remarked his friend, eyou
used to drink I" Il did when was in
the dry-goods business" was the reply;
"but since I've gone into Wall Street,
| find that must keep my head clear,
and can't do that and drink" The
following story shows that another
great operator holds similar opinion,
and puts tobacco among the things not
10 be used:
William HI. Vanderbilt was a great
smoker in his youth. One day in 1858,
as the family were on their way to St.
Petersburg, on board the steam yacht
Northern Star, the father and son were
walking on deck. The latter was puff
ing away at his after-dinner cigar.
~ wish you would give up that smok-
ing habit Of yours. III give you ten
thousand dollars il you do it." said the
Commodore, abruptly.
"You need not give me any money;
your wish is quite sufficient" answered
the son, throwing the cigar overheard.
And he has never smoked since.
The command which Mr.. Vanderbilt
4f.s~ - y ~ ARA ONCA nlln-tll III llalktTS
Of this kind is quite remarkable. He
was, for example, like his father, very
fond Of a game of whist, and like him,
considered himself to be one Of the best
Of players.
When he had removed to New YORK
and become connected with the Harlem
Railroad, he used to spend three or four
evenings week at the Union Club. But
he noticed that tobacco-smoke and mid
night hours interfered with the clear
ness Of his head the next morning, and
he at once gave up both club and whist.
The same thing happened with wine.
He likes glass Of champagne, but hav-
ing discovered that his head felt it next
day, he never touches any wine now, mot
even at public banquets and dinner par
ties at his own house. As to spirits,
they were always out Of the question
with him.

A week ago young man in this CITY
smashed one Of the street lamps. He
was arrested for disorderly conduct.
and when brought before the police
court he offered unique explanation Of
his conduct. lie did not plead previous
good character in extenuation Of his Of
Tense, and 70 mitigate the punishment
70 which he had exposed himself On
the contrary, he informed the magis-
isirate that his previous character had
been any thing but good. He had been
guilty OF many previous offenses OF q
deeper dye. He had even served q
term Of imprisonment In the State
prison. All this he related with the ut
most frankness. He did not seem in
the least disposed to keep any thing
back of all his dark and guilt-stained
past. lie only added that he had prom
ised his mother, while he was in prison
and she was on her death-bed, that he
would not steal again and that al
though tempted by actual starvation TO
break his promise, he had stuck to it
through the sixty long hours he had ex-
perienced the pangs OF hunger, and fin
ally committed his trivial offense mere
~ as a step to secure food without steal
ing.
This story, confirmed by extrinsic
evidence, was published. Atonce pres
ents of money and offers OF assistance
began to pour in OH the young man. A
thousand hearts warmed in sympathy
toward him.
What does this teach?
1t teaches that even criminals will be
assisted in any attempt at reform a.

OF course there is ard there should be
a reluctance to receive into families or
workshops persons Of whom nothing

the future, the hand of assistance will
be quickly extended to him.. Y. Sun.

Jealous OF a Corpse.

A scene of a very disagreeable nature
is said to have occurred at a funeral in
Pittsburg, says the Leader Of that city.
1t seems that young married lady who
died had previous to her marriage re-
ceived the attentions of gentleman
who afterward married another lady.
At the funeral Of the former lady, the
wife.of the gentleman, who Is practising
his profession in pittsburg, repaired to
the house where the last sad rites were
being performed, and when the minis
ter of shc gospel had finished his eulo-
w II the deceased, she went up 10 the
coffin and began TO address the assem-
bled friends and relatives in an excited
manner. From what could be gathered
from her excited utterances il would
seem she was jealous of the deceased,
and she announced that should her hus.
band approach the coffin, even 80 much
as TO look at the corpse, She would tear
out his eyes. The woman became viO-
lent in her demonstrations. and consid-
cradle confusion resulted among the
astonishcd persons present. She was
finally elected from the room, and for
tear that another scene should occur.
gentleman was dispatched 10 the
pavement outside, where her husband
was, and requested him NOT 70 enter the
house. The unpleasant incident has
occasioned great deaf u gossip since
its occurrence, especially AZ all the par
ties occupy high social positions.

Scarcity Of Women In the Far West

Among the blessings of fortune un-
equally distributed may be enumerated
women, who, while superintendent in
many parts of the East, are so scarce in
certain regions of the West that there
are not one-quarter enough for connu-
bial purposes. In Idaho, for example,
women are sadly wanted, not one man
in thirty. It Is said, having wife. Con-
sequently, the twenty-nine unwilling
bachelors are eager for partners, and
some Of them have written to the East
inquiring why feminine expectations are
not made into the territory. They could
assurodly be made to advantage, prac-
tically considered, because many Of the
Idahoans have comfortable cabins and
fertile fields--every thing, indeed, to
complete a desirable home except a
wifedecidedly an important lack. The
Territorial newspapers frequently men,
tion ARRAYS growing out Of the paucity
of women, and express the opinion that
II there were more of them compare
tive peace would prevail. As Utah to
the south, Is 80 literally supplied with
wives II is not improbable that the Ida
hoans may make raid over the border
and repeat the history Of the rape Of the
Sabines. Men may and can live with
put women; but they won't for any
length Of time when women can be mad.
II the ldahoans be much longer de-
privcd Of their marital rights it's fear
ell that they will plumber their neigh
bors. II does seem hard that Nor
mon should often have ten or twelve
wives, and most Idahoans, inthe adj
joining Territory, be deprived Of even
one wife. The interests Of humanity
demand new adjustment. -Ncr York
