THE SOCIETY YOUNG MAN.

A young man, against whom there
is nothing notorious, has several
ways at the present day of entering
society, should his kith and kin be
unable to command the ordinary
mode of ingress. A good tenor voice
will open the doors of houses which
otherwise would be closed. A mark
ed capacity for private thestricals is
ia itself au introduction to the high
est. An amusing talker will gener
ally end by finding his legs under
the mahogany in most desirable din
ing,rooms. Music, comic songs, a
talent for getting mp cotillions, min
DRY, ventriloquism, conjuring, are
all means to an end. know one
man who was asked out a good deal
simply and solely because he had a
name as being a clever designer Of
monographs, 10 the days when mono-
grams were the rage. When he
dined he had to design as another
man, where he dimes, has to sing,
play, amuse, or talk. Society con
ducts its inequalities on very cam
mercial basis You are welcome be-
cause you are noble, illustrious, ia
nous or wealthy, and thus by your
presence reflect credit on your boss
tess. If you are none of these things
you are invited because yoI take
place of the professional singer, mu~
sicians, or entertainer. There is no
obligation on either side. You get
your dinners out of society, and 30
ciety gets it's equivalent ont of you.
But to the man who has no equiva
lent to offer, society is the coolest of
host. -L0ndoB Society.

Demonstrating the Buffalo.

Efforts are being made, along the route
OF the Kansas Pacific Railroad to domes-
ticate the bison or buffalo Of the great
plains. The hide of the animal is said to
be superior in value to that of the com.
mon domestic cattle for manufacturing
purposes, while the meat is good. The
bison has also been crossed with domes-
tic stock, and the new breed is highly
spoken of, though we doubt its superior
ity for dairy purposes. A proposition has
been made to the National Government
by the Railway Company, to establish a
huge corral or enclosure for the vast herds
of buffalo, and feed and domestlcate them
for common use.
If this can be successfully done it will
add enormously to our stock Of available
cattle, as wild herds far exceed the 90
mestic cattle Of Texas in numbers. Cur
resources for hides and meat would &c
increased at once on prodigious scale
and we should no longer depend upon the
cattle OF the Buenos Ayres pampas for
our hides, when we should have such
resource as this to look to. We trust
that the effort will be made under some
sure auspices, whether Congress shall re-
,ect the offer or not. Unless something
of this kind be done, these vast herds of
bufaloes will be wasted away by Indians
and white hunters in pursuit OF theil
! hides for robes.

Mr.. Ruskip On Dress.

Mr.. Ruskin finds himself at a loss be-
fore no subject and talks with as much
dogmatic emphasis OF wonan's dress as
of the abomnation Of machinery and the
beauty of earth and sky. His ideas on
woman's duties in life are short and exact:
'She is to please people, to feed them in
dainty ways, to clothe them, to keep them
orderly, to teach them" As for the pleas
ing, Mr.. Ruskin is convinced that tasteful
dress is necessary, and l.e expatates upon
this conviction in way calculated to
"much delight the fair" He esteems ii
the duty of woman to look as lovely as
possible. "Now mind" he says, "you al
ways dress charmingly; it is the first duty
of girl TO be charming, and she cannot
be charming if she is not charmingly
dressed. Set an example Of beautiful
dress without extravaganza; that is to say,
| without waste or unnecessary splendor.
| He does not insist that the dress should
be costly; on the contrary, he advises that
it should be markedly simple, to put down
the curse of luxury and waste that is con-
suning England. Nevertheless the dress,
while simple, must be becoming and
pleasantly varied; and what his female
reader thinks it necessary to buy beyond
this foA the good of trade, "buy" he como
mands, "and Immediately burn"
He is not little judicious in other in
functions. He especially hates long walk
ing dresses and declares that such dresses
should never touch the ground at all. He
soorns cheap ready-made clothing of any
kind and condemns sewing machines, and
he urges that all girls should learn dress
making and devote part Of every day to
making as pretty dresses as they can in
good material for the poor people who
have no time or taste 10 make them well
!, for themselves.

Victor Hugo at Home.
(Paris letter in N. Y. Tribune.)

A lady with whom l am acquainted
wrote a few days back to the illustrious
poet whom have r.amed above to give
her leave to introduce to him at his house
a former lumnary of the English bench,
who is also member of the privy coun-
Gil. She was not sparing OF "soit-saw-
DER" but applied it with delicate touch
and truthful pen. 1t is rule of the
great author never to answer letters
On this occasion, however, he was
moved to reply to the pretty compliments
paid him: "Ou certes, madame, jc suis a
vos ordres ct vos pieds. Victor Hugo"
("Certainly, madame, | am at your order
and at your feet.") This is an autograph
worth keeping 1t is very characters
tic one, and as few polite notes emanate
from the same hand it will be a valuable
rarity some years hence. The calligraphy,
| was sorry to observe, unless in the sig
nature, which is bold and firm, wants Wig
Or, and is scratchy and uncertain.
Victor Hugo now lives at the Passy end
of the Avenue d'Eylau in pretty de-
tached villa. The garden walls are clad
with ivory, and there is much grcenery
all round about the mansion, which is
elegant and unpretendng outside, and
within furnished in the suggest manner,
though in Gothic taste, The Bois de
Boulogne is hard by, and the shady green
Ranelagh, where the nightingale song is
heard in May. Victor Hugo takes ad-
vantage of the Bois to indulge in morning
walks under the trees, and he drinks at
the new home farm, where COWS are kept
in an open pasture, draughts of milk fresh
from the teat. Being much farther from
the center Of Paris than when he was in
