Benjamin +. Taylor, the poet, has written q
letter to young girl at the Lowville On. W
academy, in which he mixes up poetry and good
advice In equal doses most charmingly. What
Mr.. Taylor says will bear repetition:
Il call you girl, but it is not the fashion any
left but young ladies. l like girls best. There
used to be a flock OF CarolneS in Lowville, and
as fair a flock as ever wore muslin. There were
Caroline Collins, Caroline NOrthup, Caroline
Davan, and ever so many more. There We're
CorneliaS, James, EliZabethS, MaryS and Paul
mas. They were all girls, and they never scorned
the title Now they would be Carries and Mel
lies, LiZzies, Mamtes, Jenntes and Cornies and
young ladies wtthal, every daughter OF them.
Let US not end our names In '1e.n Let us not
forget that affectatfon is the art of being fool
according to rule. Let us learn to work the
worsted cats OF impossible pink, if we must, but
let Us learn how to make Indian pudding and a
golden loaf OF corn bread as well. Let us talk
French If we can, but let us avoid slang as we
filed English never sounds so muSlcaly as it
does from the unauthorized lips of a genuine
girl. Let us learn the exquisite art of keeping
young. You read OF Roman rules. / think l
have heard Tyre, Tadmor and Thebes mentioned
once or twice, but there is nothing so ancient In
all this world as an old dilapidated heart. 1t is
everybody's duty, especially every girls, to keep
young. Now, to you and your classmates:
Dear girls, pray yon read the Book of Ruth,
That old love story beautiful as truth,
OF one who lives in everlasting youth;
And say with her to Truth, forever thine.n
Thy God my God and thy people mine!"
So shall You keep in loving step with thine,
And hfe's sweet cadence proves perfect rhyme;
And when at last the song is done,
And level shines the dying sun,
Another dawn will show its early light,
And good morn" though you have said 'good
night"

Ian English Opinion of Parole.

In review OF the English racing season up to
Nov. l the London SPORTSMAN teus expresses
itself as to the abilities Of the English horse
Isonomy and the American gelding Parole:-
RAISING over q lot of minor meetings in the
spring come to another race at the Newmarket
Craven, where the foreigners again appeared to
have bit the best of us with Parole, the Amer
lean wonder, so pluckily imported by Mr.. P. Lor-
lizard. The horse made very creditable debut
on the English turf by cutting down Isonomy,
whose fame then chiefly rested on his victory
Tor the CambridgeSbire; but the performance
was not well considered by those who again az
1ected to decry English race horses in favor OF
the American raised thoroughbreds. In the
Newmarket handicap Isonomy was concedlng
Parole pounds, whereas on the weight for age
scale over two miles at the period of the year
the race was run the former ought to have been
In receipt OF about pounds for the two years
difference in their ages so that allowing for the
length-and-a-half verdict gained by the Amer
lean nag and for his being gelding, 1t Is fair to
presume that Isonomy was even then the better
morse OF the two. Be that as it may the Kings
clere champion has never since been defeated.
In the race for the GOodwood cup Parole carried
IL pounds less, and never saw the way ISonomy
when it came to question OF stamina. ISOnomy
is horse OF perhaps the best class we have seen
for many years on the English turf, and it Is by
no means diScreditable for the American cham
pion to have been beaten by such a one, more
especially that the latter indicated his charac-
ter IS being much more than an ordinary race
horse when he won the City and Suburban. and
altogether he took five out OF nine prizes for
which he has run In this country. Economy and
Parole are quite different types OF the thorough
bone and greater development of muscular
power than the American nag, who, being a
geldlng, does not, In the order of nature, carry
50 much substance as II he had been left entire.
Both animals were perfectly sound on their
Imos when last looked them over and 1t is not
at all unlikely that we may again see them shak-
ing tnelr lallS In the faces OF lots who oppose
them Tor the great handicap and cup races Of
next season.

A BULBS Fight with Devil Fish.

The story given below was communicated by
cOrreSpOndent:-'Th The author of 'Schuyuki-
dan,' who lived some sixty years ago, was once
travelling In Muttu, one OF the northern prov
inces. Walking one day near the sea beach he
heard the believing of bull, and went In the
dill ectiOn of the noise He was then witness of
an extraordinary combat between some cutie
fish and bull. An enormous poulpe, with
bright purple eyes and tentacles six feet long,
had attacked the quadruped. Throwing its arms
the water with his captive. Meanwhile other
octopi, In large numbers and of great size,
SWarmed on to the shore, which seemed to be
alive with their big, round heads. Some OF them,
assisting their comrades soon, like him, attacked
the bull dragging it down to the sea- Their
quarry, however, made brave resistance,
and succeeded in goring its first foe in
the head and belly, and shaking itself free
from its embrace. Before it could escape
however, 1t was firmly held by still
larger monster, while others took SOlicitouS care
OF the wounded one The unfortunate beasts
believing attracted crowd of fishermen to the
spot. One of these, stronger and drawer than
ages, and sharp knife in his hand, boldly
rushed to the rescue of the bull and cut through
the tentacleS which enclosed 1t. Other poulpeS
then attacked the fisher, to whose aid his fel-
lows fastened, and fierce fight enSued between
men and monsters, In which the former were VIC
torious, many OF the Squds being killed, while
the rest escaped into the water. Two of the
tentacles wound round the bun were so heavy
that one man alone could not carry them. One
was twelve and the other six feet long-the
larger OF the two was subsequently boiled In sec

What Paints the Autumn Leaves,

The green coloring matter of leaves has been
recently reinvesttgated by NJ. Frenzy, and his re-
suits shed some light on the cause OF the colora-
ton OF autumn leaves, although further study Is
still necessary to account for the manifold bril-
liant tints found in American autumn foliage
M. Fremy's previous studies on chlorophyl tended
TO prove that it was not a simple cOloring mat
ter, but composed of two different substances
yellow, which he named phylloxanthin, and a
bluish-green named phyllocyanic acid His
more recent investigation have had for their OBJ
Ject to ascertain In what conditions these con-
stituents OF chlorophyl exist in the organic It's
sue, whether mixed or combined, suspended in
the liquid, or united with the cellular tissue By
means OF experiments he finds that they exist
In the leaves as mere mixture. 1t yet remained
to ascertain whether the phyllocyanic acid ex-
listed In a free state, OF combined with base or
united with the cellular tissues by a sort Of ca
pillary affinity. Analysis showed the presence
OF notable quantity of potassa- The green
matter of leaves, then, can be considered as
phyllocyanate of potaSsa mixed with phylloxan-
thin. !" It has long been known" says NJ. FIRE.

Count Telfener is reputed to be the richest
man in Italy. He purchased one Of King Victor
Emanuels estates In the country; and he also
bought the late Kings palace at Macao, and
chase of the Macao palace was effected before,
and that Of the Royal Villa on the Via Salaria
after the death OF Victor Emanuel. On oc-
caS1on of-the purchase OF the Macao palace,
Signor Telfener was created a count.
Last year Count Telfener married for his
Mackey, the millionaire, who now resides in
Paris Part OF the wedding festivities con-
sisted In the exhibition Of races between Count
TelfenerS horses, on course laid out in the
Royal villa, which was thrown open for the day
TO the public, and was honored by visits from
King uumbert and the notables OF Rome. The
title OF the Royal villa was changed, in cOmpli-
ment TO the bride, to ''Villa Ada"
HonorS and riches seemed To pour in upon
Count Telfener. and he was elected to represent
Foligno in the Chamber Of Deputies; but he
never took his seat, as technical objections to
his return were raised on the ground that as an
Austrian subject by birth he was ineligible to
represent an Italian constituency. These obiec-
lions might, OF course, have been overcome by
letters OF naturalization. The newspapers, how
ever, announce that Count Telfener has resigned
his seat for FolgnO, and intends to fix his resi-
dence In Paris, where he will open bank.
BY this transfer OF domicile Rome loses mil
and palaces purchased from the royal family

Macao is furnished with regal SumptuoSity.

commanding most magnificent views. The pal

critics, on which the late king expended millions,
were sold TO Telfener for comparatively trif1ing
sum.-[FdrfS Globe.

Goethe, the German Apollo.

Nature did not give him the faculty of wor-
Shipping any man or woman, or anything outside
himself with his whole strength, and without
this faculty OF Worshiping, lives must always be
incomplete. must always miss the highest great
ness. GOethe'S mind was a grand, firSt-rate
machine; the powers that put 1t into motion
proceeded from the heart and brain, but very
little soul went to the propelling OF it. His own
Intellectual light was his hero, and what of
clench1ng completeness Is wanting In his ac-
lions and feelings was caused, we think. by the
want OF a light recognized above himself, to-
ward which his soul could yearn. There were
no ghosts about his life; there are no ghosts
about the lives OF the many Germans he has
educated, and who are almost too reasonable to
need a religion. And Goethe was too reasonable
really to love- Mr.. LeweS says: 'He knew
little of the exquisite companionship of two
souls striving in emulous spirit of loving rivalry
to become better, to become wiser, teaching
each other to soar He knew little of this !;
and the kiss he feared to press upon the
loving lips of Fredericka-the life OF sIny-
pathy he refused to share with her-are
wanting to the greatness Of his works." and
we may add, to the greatness of his life. But
comingS uppermost. Though his nature was In
complete on one side, it was never capable of
anything small, ignOble, or petty. When he
'.lOved and rode away" he was as kind and con-
siderate, barring the riding away, as when he
was delighted in the presence of those who fas-
cinated him. This kindness, it Is true, may
have been enhanced by the gratitude he felt
toward those who had afforded him situations
for his poems and dramas as an artist Will feel
grateful to the beauty that has given him the
inspiration for his picture. Still, gratitude is
always something. We must conclude by SEN
tence from Mr.. Lewes, which has In 1t the char
aeteristicS OF this kind Of thoughtfulneSs, and
| also OF the materialism of the German Apollo:

Mr.. KNGZErr finds that the sanitary proper-
