SPANISH WOMEN.
lFrom the Baltimore Sun. Seville Letter. j

1 may here say that poets have
pictured Seville bellies as "dark-eycd
angels" Like the proverb L quote
above, there is more poetry than
truth in this gushing expression. l.
never yet saw q dark-eyed angel
portrayed by painter, though there
may be many OF them ready to pose
for that envlabls position; and have
seen more beautiful women here with
blue rather than black eyes. A sort
of deep violet blue, with black friEgesa
of lashes, are terribly fascinating
eyes in Seville. You see the, same,
type in parts of Ireland, aud, by my
troth, "beware, take care, there's
danger therein those eyes. In the
narrow streets here, where you can
look out the window aud shake hands
with your opposite neighbor without
any undue physical effort, you see
such eyes of unholy hue-deep, dark
and revengeful-that the poet prates
about and calls the "carbon orbs"-i
fiery fellows! But in the big streets,
where you may jump across the
trottoirs and get into the drawing,
room, stables aud kitchen, all at one
time and in one place, there are the
violet-eyed bellies with "virgin smile
and sweetened soul"-whatever BY.
ron means by that! Irregular, long,
complicated, crooked and eel-like
streets here have eyes that the least
said about the better. l mention
these points in order. to dispel the
panegyrics of any poet who may have
con the stocks cleaning, gushing
brochure on Seville's silvery stream,
creamy streets or dark-eyed bellies"
At Cadiz you are at once impressed
with the smallness of the Cadiz
ladies' feet, yet they are by no means
as pretty or as expressive of grace
and activity as are those of the Balti-
more belle. But the Cadiz charmer
can beat us all hollow in smoking

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. Is. 80.
EDITOR INTELLIGENCER The DEM
ocrats, last year, removed the duty from
quinine. and the price now is only lit
tie more than one-halt what it was be-
tore. Yesterday a hundred democrats
and few republicans voted to remove
the duty from salt, and so reduce its
price; but hundred republicans and a
very few democrots voted against the
change.
There are to-day two legislatures in
Malne-that is one that met with quo
rum in both houses, OF members who
had certificates of election from the gov
ernor, and one composed of less than
quorum OF such men, and sprinkling
of men who have read in the newspapers
that they were elected. The latter
body, which organized last nlght-in
the dnrk-will ask the supreme court to
pass upon the question of its legality.
That is, it will ask for the opinion of the
members OF the court, for no proper case
can be brought before the court under
the present circumstances. An opinion
given by individual judges, on state
mont of facts made by radical crowd,
claiming to be a legislature, but having
no official proof Of so beng, will COM
mand neither obedience nor respect
from the people of Maine, or of the
country. Such an opinion may possibly
be enforced by the military for time
and the military is under command of a
republican; but it will not be perma.
nently recognized. 1t is not. however
to be assumed that the judges, though
all but one OF them are republicans
will hold that the citizens who
last night, resolved themselves into 6
legislature are really a legislature

THE GRAVE.

Deep is the grave and still;
lis brink doth awful stand;
Its veil CT dark and sombre hue
Hideth an unknown land.
The song of nightingale
Sounds not within Its breast,
And only on the hlllock green
Friendships last rose may rest.
Bereav'd brides wiring the hand
Alas their grief is vain,
The plaint Of orphan enters not,
No voice is heard again.
Yet here Is lovely peace,
When we no longer roam;
And only thro' the gate Of death
Man finds his native home.
Only where storms are hush'd,
And tempests rage no more.
Finds the poor soul, so beaten here,
Peace, vainly sought before.
