CYPRUS is likely this year to become a
favOrite winter resort for British va!etudi-
narians. Those who have lately trod its
shores are enthusiastic in its praise there
are no bounds to its hygienic possibilities.
A private company is doing for it what
the French government has done for its
Algerine posscssion-erecting attractive
buildings for invalids and hostelries for
travellers, that those wandering in search
ofincreased strength and hiding from the
bitterness of a northern winter may find

A LETTER signed 'John Ruskin," to the
art students at Chesterfield, and which
brought down abuse on Mr.. Ruskin, now
turns out to have been a clever forgery.
In this letter George Stephenson, the faith
er of the railroad system, was denounced
as the ''creator of screeching, bowling,
shrieking fiends, fit only for pandemon-
ium," and the students were told that
they had "empty little egg shells Of
heads" 1t was not surprising that it
should have obtained currency rs genu-
inc epistle, in view of some of the extraor-
dinary missives which Mr.. Ruskin has rc-
Gently made public.
The social excitement which for'the past
two weeks has stirred the village of Ar
lington, New Jersey. Oh account of the ex-
pulsion by literary and social society of
two young women employed as domcstics
in the town, because they supported them
selves by their own labors-their employ
ers holding membership in the society
has resulted in a complete victory for the
champions of the girls. On Saturday
evening the young women, Miss Cheviletta
Bolivar and Miss Hattie Dunnel, were pre-
sented with series Of resolutions, passed
at a town meeting, in which the Philo-
mathic society is denounced and condemn
cd as needlessly and cruelty insulting, and
the young ladies arc rendered the sympa-
thy Of the citizens.
If the Senate meets Oh the 4th of March,
as it must to organize and confirm the
presidents appointments of cabinet Off
GERS, Ohio will then have only one sena-
tor. The act Of Congress provides that
a Legislature may elect Senators-first, on
the second Tuesday after it's last meeting
and organization, before Senator's term
expires !; second, on the second Tuesday af-
ter its meeting and organization, to fill
existing when it meets, and third,
on the second Tuesday after receiving no
tice Of vacancy occurring, after it meets.
Mr.. Garfield was elected under the first
provision. He will resign, but his success
sor cannot he elected under either the first
or second provision, because the vacancy
will not exist till the 4th of March, as Mr..
Garfield cannot resign till then. He must,
he elected under the third pro-
vision, but this cannot be done till the
second Tuesday after the 4th Of
March. So the Republicans will have one
Senator less than they counted on, and the
Democrats will have that much better
chance to secure the organization of the
Senate.
