An AFGHAN WoMANs SHoEs.-The
slippers and shoes are of Cabulese make,
and are very pretty. On pale green
background beautiful patterns are
worked with gold aud silver thread and
parti-colored silk until the effect is
more like that of fairy slipper than
one for daily use. But stout leather
sole is put on, with high heels rudelv
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 bazar. A Cab
ulese lady's foot is small, almost to de-
formity, and the baggy trousers by con-
trast make them appear exceedingly
petite. From the few faces seen. and
those chiefly of old or passee women, it
is difficult to judge of the famed beau
ty Cabulese are said to boast of. The
children are certainly, as whole, the
prettiest have eyer seen. Their COM
plexions are red and white. with tinge
of olive pervading the skin, eyes black
and lustrous, well-shaped features, teeth
to make Western beauty envious, and
bright intelligent looks that sadly belle
the race to which they belong. Their
mothers must be beautiful, for their
fathers are generally villainous-l ooking;
the men losing ali the pleasing traits
which as boys they possessed. The la
dy I have described as seen in the ze-
mana, for moment was certainly hand
some. and was far lighter IN complexion
than Spaniard; her eyes were really
worthy of the praises sung by Hafz,
but the sensuous lips were a. little too
full and pouting. 1t was just such q
face as one imagines IN harem, and
would be in keeping with the languor
ous life of voluptuary to whom SEN
suality is guiding star. Such faces
always lack character, and would soon
prove insipid in the eyes of the West.
The Cabulese lady, when journeying, is
either carried in an elaborate wicker
work cage covered with the inevitable
flowing linen, or rides. Amazon fashion.

The immense demonstration in honor
of the Cincinnati nominees held in this
city last night, struck terror to the
hearts of the De Golyer people. That
vast assemblage gathered together on a
few hours notice contrasted so vividly
with the pitiful attempt to ratify Gar
fields nomination that it would be cruel
to carry the comparison to any length.
Besides, what's the use of trying to i'm
press fact that is self-evident. Han
cocks nomination is the expression of
the voice of the people; Garfeld's was
the outcome of the battle of the bosses.

How the Clouds Fled.

The farmer stood ia his farmhouse door,
The day was dark and cold;
Across the sky, in masses grand,
The dense clouds swiftly rolled:
And the trees shook off upon the wind
Their autumn dress of gold,
A sorry day to work out doors
To earn ones daily bread:
And every smile that shows content
From the farmers face was fed:
And he fingered on the doorstep then,
For his feet, they weighed like lead.
The wife glanced up and caught the look
That spoke of discomfort.
And quickly from her seat she rose
And to his side she went;
Ana on his lips impressed kiss
As DER his face she bent.
Oh. wondrous change For all the clouds
From his facs had fed away,
And whistlins gsily to himself,
To work he took his way
And thanked God, for the JOY, the kiss
OF a wife can give alway.
