vIcToRIA's NEW ORDER. Queen Victoria has founded a new order of merit to be accorded to the most skilled members of the nursing profession, who are named "St katharine's nurses" and distinguished by a badge consisting of an ann ulet with the letters "St. K" in the center. Each nurse receives pay at the rate of f50 per anuum, which pay is in addition to the salary she is in re- ceipt of from the institution to which she belongs.
 STRANGE CREATURES. Women are such strange creaturesl Is there any trick that love and their own fancies do not play on them? Just see how they marry. A woman that gets hold of bit of manhood is like one of these Chinese wood carvers who work on any odd, fantastic root that comes to hand. l should like to see any llnd of man distinguishable from gohola, that some good and even pret- ty woman could not shape husband.
 EUGENE.
 The Empress Eugenie, who at first so syWpathized with Captain Carey that she addressed letter to the Queen in his behalf, has been greatly irritated by Carey's persistent attempts in the news papers to excuse himself at the expense of the young prince. The poor woman is reported as saying the other day of the pious captain: "Why cannot he leave my poor dead boy alone? He left ham alone once."
 MADAME GREyY. Madame Grevy, the wife of the French president, travels in the simplest man. ner. She takes great pains to pass un- perceived, notwithstanding the trouble taken to do her ostentatious homage. The honors which have fallen to her lot do not seem to affect her in the least. Many of her critics think that France ought to be represented with elegance, and that her genius is opposek to such simplicity.
 MRS. SHERMAN.
 The wife of Secretary Shetman is very fond of rural life, and spends much time at her farm home in Ohio, among her fruit trees and gardens. She drives out nearly every day with vegetables, fruits, and other things, which she distributes among the poor. She is a comfortable sort of woman, allows her husband to smoke on the front porch, and is cheery, hospitable hostess.
