The debates and acts of Congress, the

drift of public sentiment, will all bear
directly and effectively upon the twen-

LIFE IN PORTUGAL,

It is a common rclnarn o! travellers
that Portugal is l30 years behind the
rest of the world. The truth is, that in
some respects Portugal is considerably
in advance of most even of the progressive
nations Of the Continent. Her system
Of government is constitutional in reality
as well as in name and her people enjoy
q larger measure Of individual freedom
than would he considered safe e.; her in
Germany or in France. II there are
fewer great fortunes in Portugal than
in some other countries, there appears
to be very little downright poverty, and
a spirit of contentment pervades all
classes. A recent writer, Mr.. Crawford,
offers particularly attractive picture Of
the state of the Portuguese workman or
day iaborer He Is better fed than many
of our own middle classes, and his
amusements present striking contrast
to those of our own workingmen. When
his days work is done, che does not
lean against post and smoke pipe,
nor does he linger in the wine-shop. If
it be a holiday or Sunday, and in a
rural district, he puts on clean shirt,
with a large gold or silver stud as neck
fastening, and his newest hat, varying
in shape according to locality, but al
ways of black felt and of the kind which
we see in pictures Of Spanish life" He
also "throws over his shoulders black
cloth cloak, with a real gold or silver
clasp" and takes in his hand his favor
ite ox-goad, "as tall as himself, straight
as an arrow, well rounded, and polished
and bound with brass" Thus attired,
and with his guitar round his neck,
he makes for the peasants drawing
room, ''the nearest fashionable thresh.
ing-foor.' He finds here large com.
pany Of old and young of both sexes
"come together for gossip, song and
dance" If the dancing is not always
graceful, and the singing is not particu
larly refined, both are the expression O.
a bright and healthy temperament.

says: 1--WE cordially approve the sug-
sestion of the Baton Rouge CAPIroLIAN
tha. Coils. Hyams Of the Sugar Planter
and Brusle of the Iberville South assume
the prerogatives respectively Of tempo
rary chairman and secretary of the ap-
rroaching press convention, with view
to communication with the managers of
the various transportation lines through
ont the State and securing reduced rates
of fare for newspaper men attending
the convention. 1t is well known that,
as general rule, the publishers of rural
newspapers are poorly provided with
this worlds goods and if the expense
attending a visit to the State Capital be
apv considerable figure, many OF the
fraternity will probably be debarred
from putting in an appearance at the
convention We hope Messrs. Hysms
and Brusle will accept the proffered
trust and take the action suggested
without delay.

Peruvian Women.
Philadelphia Times.


Lima ia the paradise Of woman. They
are called beautiful; so they are. If you
admire black eyes and ebony tresses.
They are generally occupied, but do not
work they look upon labor as degrad-
ing. They rise early, take a cup of tea,
and 60 to mass. Their toilet requires
but few minutes. Their walking suits
are neat and pretty in this respect they
surpass us. The dress is black, and never
touches the ground; there is no fussing
nor fumbling with trains. A white
skirt is sometimes seen below the dress,
with deep hem and two tucks, and al.
ways white and clean. Prunella CATERS
are generally worn the hands are bare;
the manta is thrown over the head, fall
ing gracefully down almost to the bot
tom Of the skirt. The subject of dress
claims most of their time and attention.
Their ball dresses and opera and soree
suits are magnificent. Their boots espe-
cially are beautiful No people have
naturally as small feet as the Peruvians,
The Peruvian made boots are too small!
for foreigners. Peruvian ladies are not
very intelligent; as soon as they pass
beyond the schoolgirl period they care
little for books OF literature. Many
learn toplay the piano when young, but
40 not care TO continue when married
They are excessively courteous in their
manners. They are always wealthy in
imagina,ion-at least, they do not speak
of poverty. They love to smoke. Al
though handsome when young, they
scarcely turn twenty when they begin to
fade. One thing always lasts with theu
/ and that is their gait. Their movements
are gliding and yracetul; the same is true
Of the men.

THE MOST FATAL OF SNAKES.
A LITTLE GRAY SERPENT FROM THE EAST
INDIES.

A recent arrival at the Geological So
ciety's gardens in Regent Park deserves
special notice, apart from the fact that
it is the first of it's species known to
have been brought to England. II is a
snake, called the Echis Carinata, about
a loot and half long, and of dingy
gray. Yet, although in appearance nei-
ther interesting nor formidable, it is the
deadliest Of created things. This detes-
table little worm, which, looking at it,
the spectacle might make bold to say
he could initiate very passable in Cork
and putty, is nevertheless, one of the
miracles and masterpieces of nature, for
it is death itself, and carries in it's tiny
head the secret Of destroying life with
the sudden rapidity of lightning and
the concentrated agony Of all poisons.
The Echs comes to us from India,

I-F'or this King Of the asps, this modern

conception, but is actively offensive. 1t

cobra will, or fash into concealmc:l,.
