One point IN which the company at
the Charity Ball resembled all the for
eign gatherings l have ever attended
was-hesh. Not the most caviling Euro
pean, after attending the Charity, could
possibly accuse us, as nation, of being
thin. As the throng wound round and
round the floor in grand procession, one
could not but be impressed with the
enormous increase Of adipose among both
sexes. The pale, thin-visaged, anxious
looking business man of some years since
has entirely disappeared, and in his
shoes-so far as he can get them on
stands ruddy, aldermanic, round-faced,
bald-headed parsonage, redolent of good
dinners and generous living, whom you
find it hard to believe was ever like his
predecessor. As for his wife, what a
change! That skinny neck, those pipe
stem arms, that waspish waist, really not
laced half so much as it appeared to be
where are they? Who is this standing
in her place, with plump shoulders,
pudgy arms, and expansive waist? Can
we believe that this genial, rotund
matron could ever have been the subject
of wicked personalities on the score of

Unlike most men of great frmness and
self-reliance, Marlborough courted coun-
sci and discussion. He could conduct it
with absolute calmness and courtesy.
On his own clear views of what is to be
done it had no effect, but it gained him
coadjutors; for he was, like Wolsey, fair
spoken and persuasive. His patience
was inexhaustible. He was cautious,
but his caution had its corrective in an
unmatched promptitude of vision. He
thus never committed rash act, and he
never missed an opportunity for striking
an effective blow. His fertility in re-
sources made him less amenable to dis
appointment when his favorite scheme
was thwarted than men Of smaller re-
sources, whose mind contains but one
scheme at time, and that being for
bidden, are destitute Of other resource,
and helpless. To him, if one way were
closed there was ever another opening.
He felt secure in himself-be the con-
ditions that were to be wrought with
what they might, he would bring out of
them results which no other man could
effect. 90

AS the ghosts disappeared, Richard
sprang up from his sleep. But how? ?
He had naked sword by his side, and,
leaning upon this he staggered forward,
sank on one knee, then started back as if
he wished to rise, holding high in the
air his other arm, which shook violently
even to the finger tips; then trembling,
staring with wiie-open eyes, he advanced
in silent anguish on his knees with vio-
lent gesticulations, and yet slowly into
the proscenium, still shaking with fright,
and staring at the audience with wide
set eyes. can not say how long this
idiotic dumb show lasted, which seemed
to me a mere mountebaEk's trick; but
when, after long interval, he wanted to
proceed with the monologue, he had to
wait almost as long, on account of the
extravagant peals OF applause, before he
could begin.

Professor Fawcett, the blind member
of Parliament, says that when, at twen-
ty-five, he lost his sight, there were many
things of which he was passionately
fond, and he resolved that those pursuits
which he could follow he would. No
one enjoyed salmon fishing in the
Tweed or the Spey more than he
did, no one more enjoyed throw
ing the fly in some quiet stream
in Hampshire or Wiltshire. He
enjoyed as much as any one did gallop
over the turf in company with some
friend. He appreciated all the health
giving vigor of long row from Oxford
to London; and, although the late Sc
we're frosts nipped up great many peo-
pie, no one in the whole country en-
joyed better than he, with friend, did
fifty or sixty mile skate on the Fens.
He referred to these facts in no spirit OF
egotlsm, but as showing that there was
still for the blind store of happines:
and pleasure, if only they had the cour-
age and determination to avail them.

Adelina Patti takes only one real meal
on day when she expects to sing in the
evening. At IL o'clock she is served
with meat and eggs, but very rarely veg
etables; Bordeaux and seltzer water ac-
company these substantals. Then she
takes a nap two hours long; after which
she goes out driving. When she returns
she sits down at the piano and practices
"in preparation for the combat" as she
herself SAYS. Just before leaving for the
opera-house she takes little con-
somme, but no dinner. After the per-
formance she eats q substantial supper.
Patti herself seemingly believes that she
owes the preservation of her marvellous
voice to this course of hygiene, for she
adhares to the latter in the most minute
particulars, and nothing would probably
induce her to abandon it. She never,
without exception, utters a word on any
morning until she has drunk her cup of
chocolate. That done, she then tries her
voice by summoning the maid with the
full force of her lungs.

The opinion long prevailed that rural
