A Book of Beauty.

a New York publishing house has
commenced work upon subscription
book designed to illustrate American
beauty This volume is to contain one
hundred choice steel-plate engravings Of
living American omen, remarkable
for their beauty. DaintieSt of letter
press, on highest grade Of printing pa
per, is to explain the portraits OF the one
hundred beauties, and the binding is to
be executed in the highest style of the
hookbinder's art. Our large country is
notable for the number Of its beautiful
women, and one hundred could not be-
gin to do justice to the aggregate of
American feminine loveliness. Who is
to select the comely ladies, whore coun-
terfeit presentments are to embelhsh the
forthcoming volume of loveliness, is not
stated. To say the least of it. the task is
one OF great delicacy, and, no matter
how impartially performed, will be GER
tain to give grave displeasure to the tens
of thousands of acknowledged American
beauties whose pretty pictures will not
grace the volume. If the friends of the
one hundred favored fair are numerous
and chivalrous enough to subscribe for
one or more copies of the work, the pub
Usher may be satisfied, but the omitted
beauties will not, Even the courageous
canvassers for subscriptions to the book
are deserving of general sympathy
whenever they happen among group of
bellies, not one OF whom has been Sc
lected for the Book of Beauty
Ten or dozen years ago an enter
prising publisher issued a book of por-
traits Of ladies called Queens Of Amer
ican Society," The pictures purported
to be Iikenesses of leaders Of society, few
of whom made any pretensions to sur
passing beauty. We believe the novel
work was a pecuniary success; there
was no disputing the social position oil

The Wonderful Man Without Limbs,

Mr.. Kavanagh, the Irish member of
parliament whose lack of arms and legs
is accompanied by plentiful supply of
brains, had in his youth very sorrow
full life. After the early death of his
father and mother, he was under the
control of his two elder brothers, who,
mortified by this strange deformity, are
said to have secluded him in the country
from the sight of mankind. The boy,
full of intellectual zeal and manly spirit,
would not allow his mind to rest or
grow morbid; and when, alter several
years, his brothers died, leaving a very
large estate to his guidance. he emerged
from his library rarely cultivated and
brilliant man, with a brain and will so
trained that it was a very easy matter
for him to grasp practical life and affairs.
So delightful are Mr.. Kavanagh's intel
iectual and spiritual graces that be wen
for a wife very beautiful and charm
ing woman. His children are all bright
and h ndsome, and he il greatly beloved
by both them and his tenantry. In spite
Of his bodily misfortune Mr. Kavanagh

At Evening.

Upon the hills the wind is sharp and cold,
The sweet young grasses wither on the void,
And we, oh, Lord, have wandered rom thy
fold;
But evening brings US home.
Among the mists we stumbled, and the rocks,
Where the brown lichen whitens. and the fox
Watches the straggler tron the scattered
focks;
But evening brings US home.
The sharp thorns prick us, and our tender feet
Are cut and bleeding, and the lsmbs repeat
their pitiful complaints-oh, rest is sweet,
When evening brings US home.
We have been wounded by the hunters darts,
Dur eyes are very heavy, and our hearts
Search for thy coming-when the l'ght departs,
At evening bring us home.
The darkness gathers. Through the gloom
no star
Rises to guide US. We have wandered far.
Without thy lamp We know not where we are
At evening bring US home
The clouds are around rs, and the snow drifts
thicken,
Oh, thou, dear shepherd, leave US not to sicken
In the waste night-our tardy foOtstePf
quicken;
At evening bring us home.

TIMELY TOPICS.

Forestry, so neglected in the United
States, now receives very careful atten-
tion in France as well as Germany. One
of the French under secretaries Of state
is director of forests. and has large
staff. An eminent French scientist,
who complains that meteorolOgists too
often neglect observations on animal or
vegetable physiology, recommends that
the dates of the arrival and departure
of migratory birds, the leafng and
Towering Of plants and the ripening Of
corn shall be noted in each district.
Notes, too, are to be made oy foresters
of such natural-history phenomena as
fall within their notice.

The city of Szegedin, in Hungary,
which from time immemorial has been
greatly troubled with gypsies, and
which has imprisoned, forged and
threatened them with the wheel
and the gibbet, but all in vain,
has lately revived an old device which
it seems did once before drive them
away. Expelled one day they would
return the next and steal everything
they could lay their hands on, until the
heads of the city authorities came near
bursting in their efforts to devise some
means of securing immunity from the
thieving hands of the g s'Pharaohs," !" as
they are called by the Hungarians. At
last the authorities caught caravan of
gypsies and shaved them clean, leaving
not particle of hair on their heads or
faces. Thus sacreligiously handled. the
Pharaohs long gave the town a wide
berth. The memory of the truly bar
barous treatment having grown dim
with the lapse of years, the gypsies have
settled down again upon S3egedin. So
Szegedin has revived the' old tactics,
ana in spite of tie wanderers threats of
dire vengeance has once more shaved
them all, without regard to sex or age.
They have departed in wrath and hu-
initiation, and sZegedin hopes again to
pass some years in the peaceful enjoy
ment of its own eggs and chickens.

The denizens of New York city may
now look forward to the prospect OF
peaceful slumbers, undisturbed by the
nightly howls of the feline race. The
board of aldermen have passed what
will be known as the ''cat ordinance"
which orders the capture and destruc-
ton of sll the cats at large in any of
the public streets, lanes, alleys, high
ways, parks or other places within the
corporate limits OF the city of New
York" Should this not include the
backyard fences, it may be very seri-
Gus omission. The war projected againt
the cats may not seem SO useless in view
Of the fact that wealthy and promi-
nent citizen Of San Jose, California,
died a short time ago from the effects of
bite on the thumb by kitten few
weeks previous. The hand began to
swell soon after it was bitten, and the
poison extending up the arm, finally
caused death.

A horrible case is reported from Lon
don where the punishment received by
the culprit seems wholly inadequate TO
the enormity of the offense. A nurse
in Guys hospital becoming enraged at a
trivial offense committed by pstient.
q young married woman, dragged her
from the bed and plunged her into a
bath tub filed with cold water, whereby
the woman's disease was so aggravated
as to result in her death. For this
crime the nurse was arrested. convicted
Of manslaughter and sentenced accord
ingly. The bsrbarity of hospital nurses
is very frequently the subject Of remark,
but the crime spoken of above is little
beyond the ordinary run usually charged
against these officials.

Illinois still leads all the other States
in the number Of miles Of its railroads.
The position Illinois has occupied since
1870, at which time it passed Pennsyi-

Ohio is fourth. having 5 1871 miles; Iowa
fifth, with 1859 miles, and Indiana
sixth, with A, 336 miles; Missouri, Niichi-

The Passion Play Wrangle In New
