The Engaged in italy.

Rome correspondence New OK hour
The betrothed in Italy are never left
alone for one moment. They must not
even sit side by side in company, and a
third person must take part in the con-
versation. When out for walk they
must not 60 arm in arm. As for a kiss,
not even the tips of the nails may be
touched until after the church and
state have firmly bound together the
poor lovers. The severity is no compli-
ment to Italy. On the contrary, it is
mistrust carried to excess, and the
young people rebel against it. Still,
when they become fathers and mothers
they perpetuate the custom. 1t may
be that this extreme reserve before mar
rage engenders that after-marliage IL
berty which in its turn becomes a mat
ter of wonder to more prosaic nations.

CaIIfornia's New Era,
san Francisco Call.

We are confident that the improve.
ment in our industries will come with
time. We have discovered that specu.
lation is slow way TO riches, after all
so far as a community Is concerned
though, now and then, one makes a
quick and successful trip. The hope oil
being one of the ten thousand has kept
many men poor in this state; but 1t il
to be hoped that the generations coming
upon the stage will be less deeply i'm
bued with the mania for speculation
than the one which received its inspira-
ton from the virgin gold fields OF Cali
fornia. The future is in our hands.
Nature has never been more generous
to a people. In soil, climate and geo
graphical location, California Is sur
passed by no other state. We have
room for 100000 people. France,
with one-third more territory, has 49,
100000. There is basis for the hope
that the year 1880 will be the date OF
the commencement of new era oil
solid prosperity.

WOMEN In AFGHANlSTAN.
The Dress and AdOrnments of a Pie
turesque People.
Calcutta Pioneer.

The dress of Afghan women, especi-
ally those whose husbands have rank
or wealth, is extremely picturesque. A
short tightly-ftting bodiceof green,
blue or crimson silk confines the bust
but buttons so closely up to the throat
that one can only guess at the proper
tons of shoulders and bosom. The
bodice is generally embroidered with
gold, and then becomes so stiff and I'M
yielding that it is virtually corset. In
cold weather the short arms of the
sari are continued down to the wrist,
and the vest itself is padded with wool
for the sake of warmth. Trousers la
Tore, baggy and flowing as Fatima's,
and tightly fastened at the ankles, q
broad silk kummerbund of almost end
less length, with the ends so disposed
that they become skirts, dainty white
socks, and tiny slipper or shoe, gold
mbroidered-such is the indoor dress
of Cabulese lady while covering and
hiding all save feet and ankles in the
voluminous white garment drawn over
the head and face and falling TO the
heels. These yelled beauties have Jew
elry scattered over the forehead, hands,
wrists, arms, and ears; while handsome
gold loops secure the yashmak at the
back of the head; the hair being light
ly drawn from the forehead, and tied
tightly into knot, Grccian fashion.
The length of silk kummerbund
which encircles lady's waist is some
times astonishing; one | saw must have
been twelve yards long by eighteen
inches broad, and the end was even
then not forthcoming.
The slippers and shoes are of Ca
bulese make, and are very pretty. On
pale green back ground beautiful pat
terms are worked with gold and silver
thread and parti-colored silk, until the
effect is more like that of q fairy slipper
than one for daily use. But stout
leather sole is put on, with high heels
rudely bound with iron, and then the
work of art is complete. The stalls in
which their slippers and shoes are
made are the gayest in the whole ba-
z4ar. A Cabulese lady's foot is small,
almost to deformity, and the baggy
trousers by contrast make them appear
exceedingly petite. From the few
faces seen and these chiefly Of old or
passee len, It's difficult to judge of
the famed beauty Cabulese are said to
boast of. The children are certainly,
as a whole, the prettiest | have ever
seen. Their compilations are red and
white, with tinge of olive PEI vading
the skin, eyes black and lustrous, we'll
shaped features, teeth to make q west
ern beauty envious, and bright, lntelil-
gent looks.

The Wealth Of Queen Victoria and Her
London Echo.

OF the two royal duchies, belonging
to mother and son, the princes is the
more valuable. In the first year of the
present reign, parliament adjusted the
property and income ofthe crown. and
while the greater portion of the crown
lands was given up in consideration Of
an annual stipend, the duchy of Ian
caster was reserved, to furnish q sort Of
pin money to the queens private purse.
The act in question provided that an
account should be annually presented
to parliament of the income and ex
penditure of the duchies of Lancaster
and Cornwall. This was done when, as
yet, there was no duke of Cornwall, aud
the profits of the estate were accruiug
In the interest of a young gentleman
hoped for. A short time since we al
lnded to some points in the Lancaster
balance sheet which showed payment
of $205,0O0 to her maiesty's private
purse last year, out Of a gross income
of 100000. The prince of Waves re-
ceived for tho same period 1896 800 out
of a total of $4S3 905.
The principal item among the re-
ceipts is 1919, 485 from the rents and
prohts oil the Summaries courts. The
next item in importance arises from q
similar source to the royal right of
taking wine from every ne-laden ship
that put into Lancashire port; that
was committed for an annual payment
from the consolidated fund. The
prince, as duke of Cornwall, had the
right to certain duties on the stamping
or COINAGE Of tin on Hnost GOODS ou6
white rents" these were committed by
the act already quoted for an annual
payment from the consolidated fund
of $81, ono. The capital account shows
an investment in government stock
amounting to $S90,000 the result of
the prince consort's care during his
minority, besides about $4,000 cash
in hand on Dec 81 1873. Toe prince
spends about 5000 year upon the
entertainment of the duchy tenants on
the rent days and the payment of their
travelling expenses.

Faseline.

A new product made from petroleum
is Jelly called ''Vaseline," which is of
the greatest utility in medicine, phar-
macy and for toilet use. Physicians all
over the world have discovered its great
valuein the treatment of wounds, burns,
skin diseases, rheumatism, catarrh and
every ailment where Gniment is need
ed, and in almost every hospital in
America and Europe this substance is
COW in constant use, and Is acknowledge
ed not only to be the best treatment,
but also one of the most important re-
cent additions to medicine. 1t is put
up in bottles by the Chesebrough Man
ufacturing Co., of New York, and as a
family remedy, is without doubt the
best in use. Its healing and pain allay-
ing qualities being superior to those of
any known substance, while the speedy
relief it affords for piles and chilblains
is almost magical. AS an emollient,
Va7eline is way ahead OF anything else,
as it renders the skin smooth, soft and
clear, and our lady friends will find it
not only the best, but perhaps the sole
substance which will really preserve and
restore to the complexion the hues of
NO4Ill1 llEsshliJS lAlC tln0 fCANS
and tle skin like satin. The complexion
powders in common use, are, as a rule,
injurious to the skin and destructive of
any complexion, while Vaseline is en-
tirely healthful and beneficial. There
is also made a "Pcmade Vaseline,"
which is said to be of great benefit to
the hair. keeping it soft and glossy, pre-
venting ard curing dandruff, and keep
ing the scalp healthful and free from
disease, and from those Objectionable
creatures which sometime find dwell
ing there. Numberless instances are
cited of how by the use of this pomade
thin and failing hair has resumed a Wig
orous growth. Bo,h the pure Vaseline
and the pomsde are put up in twenty
| five cent bottles and are to be found at
all first-class druggists, and we advise
our readers to make trial o this Won
| derful substance, and we thiLk they will
| find It's claims to merit not in the least
exaggerated.-Sun Times.

This morning, y representative OF the
Press called On Agent Selbie with . view

Informed him that the spirit and meaning
of the paragraph was true; that the BIS
narck line would ss soon % practicable run
a line of coaches to the Missouri river, but
whether TO Pierre he could not nov state.
Ii might be to Blule City. or anywhere e'ss
where the railroad touched the Missouri.
Anyway, the fac, could be stated that that
company would connect with any line that
offered the shortest aud most practicable
route to the east ~"even," said Selbie. iii
We run to the Union Pacific, 1t makes no
difference to u.s." He knew nothing about
the construction or tue securing of a COM
pany's office at Pierre. and letL US to infer
that he thought such . thing could not be
relied on until the actual crossing OF the
railroad was settled as to location.
The Bismarck company will probably not
have a monopoly o., the business from the
end of the Northwestern railroad Is there
are other eyes or the chance. The Wyom'
ing stage company has the mail contract
over the Pierre route and is ready to put on
regular coaches as soon as there is business
sufficient. There is already or foot q pro.
jec. to run eemi-weekiy steamers from Yank'
ton to Pierre and if this plan goes into oper'
alton, a stage line will connect with the
steamers at Pierre. The freight business vis
Pierre is becoming so ex tensive hat semi
weekly boats can be run with profit and the
Coulson people are ready 10 establish and
operate the line.

THE RIVER.

Captain Todd's full force is at work on
the boats on the ways.
The ferry boat was aoated from the bar
by the rise and now lies alongside the
Western.
The steamer Black Hills has got her new
dress Of paint complete and che looks as
handsome as anything that skins the waters
Of the Big Muddy.
Sioux City Journal, 4th: The boat ways
were cleared up yesterday and everything
made ready tor a rise. Over 1000 blocks
used in blocking up the boats were hauled
away. Everything is now in shape for any
stage Of water that may come down......The
fitting up of the engines of the Nellie Peck
and Fontenelle is being hurried as rapidly
as possible. In case of a sudden rise 1t
might be found handy to get up steam....
The going down of the waters has left the
Niobrara hard aground. The Benton was
a tri1e aground on Tuesday, but is floating
low.
The ice gorge which started in the narrow
bend just below town has grown to formida-
BILE dimensions and when it breaks there
will be a lively scene at the landing. 1t has
piled the river full of heavy ice as far up
as the vision can reich and raised the
water about four feet. Around the boats at
the ways it is wedged in tightly. About
one o'clock this afternoon the frozen mass
moved down stream a few rods and its won
derful force was speedily demonstrated. The
Far West, Western and Black Hills, lying
next to the shore and at the foot of the ways
we're lifted up against the bank in an instant
and there they remain. held fast by the pres.
sure of the ice against their sides. The
spars of the Western, Black Hills and Far
West, which were set on the shore side,
were tripped up and tumbled into the river
and it was necessary to cut the Black Hills
apar to save her derrick from des-
truction. Captain Todd says it will
not be possiable to push the boats back into
deep water so long as the pressure of ice re-
mains, and when the gorge breaks and the
ice runs off the water will 60 with it, leav-
ing the three boats high and dry on the
bank. The Far West il in the worst shape,
as she was showed upon a fiat bench which
will be dry when the water subsidies. The
Westerns bow was pushed up on the ways
about thirty feet. Further trouble ia antici.
pated when the gorge breaks and the entire
mass of ice is put in motion.
