1t may not be a matter of much i'm

Senator Hanson finally voted for the
bill, though at first he was rather op-
posed to it. Senator Clapp, if we
mistake not, voted against it, if he
voted at all. If the people of West
Tennessee owe anybody any special
gratitude, on account of the pass
age of the bill, it is due very
largely to Senator Tolly, who made a
very able, eloquent and convincing
speech in favor Of it, at the time when
some Of the West Tennessee senators
were inclined to flicker. Tolly is a
fine speaker, and this was one Of the
best efforts of his life; and we are glad
that an opportunity is afforded to give
him credit for his noble and disinter-
ested action.

American vs.. English Female
Beauty.

journal Of Science.l
While the beauty of the English
girl may endure longer than that Of
her American sister, yet American
beauty has this sovereign advantage
that it best bears close observation.
The English beauty appears best at a
distance, and grows homely as we APP
.proach her; the typical Ameri-
can beauty appears more at
tractiye near at hand; in
her case nearness brings enchantment.
The American face bears the micro
scope mainly by reason of its delicaey,
fneuess and mobility of expression
qualities that are only appreciated on
nearness of inspection. The ruddi-
ness or freshness, the health h-suggest-
ing and Misunderstanding face
of the English girl seem in.
comparable when partially yelled,
or when few rods away;
but as she comes nearer, these excel
ling characteristics retreat behind the
irregularities of the skin, the thick
ness Of the lips, the size Of the nose,
aud the observer is mildly stunned by
the disappointment at not finding the
nimble and automatic play Of
emotion in the eyes and features
without which female beauty must
always fall below the line of supreme
authority. The English beauties OF
national and international fame, at
whose feet the empire of Great
Britain is now kneeling. are of the
American type, and in that country
they would be held simply as of an
average rather than exceptional excel
lence. The attractiveness of Ameri-
can women would appear to be
the direct effect of climatic
conditions, since beauty of the most
precious sort requires fneness of or
ganization, delicacy of features. MIN
bleness and sprightliness of express
sion. The influence that makes the
American female NOR handsome also
causes her beauty to decay earlier
than in Europe. The Englishwomau
is less beautiful, less delicate and
attractive between fifteen and
twenty-five, yet she retains her beauty
longer. Women, like plants, need
abundant moisture. else they wither.
The rains the clouds, and the storms
that cnrobe castles and cathedrals in
ivy, and keep the meadows green
throughout'the year, bring freshness
and color to the face; so the English
matron Of forty five or fifty is, per-
haps, sometimes handsomer as well as
healthier than at fifteen and twenty.

TIN cause of Womans rights has
made decided gain ia the State Of
New York. The legislature has passed
a bill authorizing the election of
women as school trustees, aud allow
ing women to vote in school elections.
The bill passed without an opposing
vote in the senate, and but three in
the house. In Massachusetts there is
such a law, and it is regarded favora-
bly, by both sexes. At the last De-
csmber election in five cities, the total
number of women elected as trustees
wasseven; ofmsn, fifteen. Buttheyotes

The NenatorinI NcnnInI,

WASHINGTON, February 12.-In
the his, ,ory of no scandal has there
been so much secret general under
standing and so little public comment
as in the case of Southern senator
that is now agitating political and So
cial circles here. Money has been so
freely spent in the suppression OF legal
evidence in the case that those inter
ested in investigating it have been
bafiied. Certain poor devils of clerks,
who know more than they dare tell,
have given freely information upon
the subject when promised that their
names shall not be used. The scan
dal is Of rather a remote date, and
had not the senator in question used a
good deal of money it would have
been out before this. 1t dates back
to October or November last.
1t appears that an enterprising
woman who kept an assignation house
on H street, also held place in the
treasury. She was in the habit Of
entertaining officials at her house, and
to this place she invited young girls
in the treasury department who are
not too straightlaced in their morals.
In the original statement Of the scan
dal it was said that young and inno-
cent young girl had been iuveigled
into this house by this woman, and
that while there she had been ruined
by said Southern senator. An inves-
tigation Of the facts shows that there
was no innocence to be ruined in the
case, and that the young woman who
visited this place did it fully aware of
the character Of the step she was
taking.
The principal in the case, the wo-
man who keeps the house, is not now
employed in the treasury department.
The young woman in the case has
since been transferred frem the treas
ury department to one of the less
public institutions of Washington.
After her affair with the senator at
the house above mentioned, she began
to
RLACKMAIL HIM
and make demands upon him for
money, and to threaten him with ex-
posure. About week ago, as the
story goes, this senator became tired
of what promised to be an endless
drain upon him, and placed the man
agement of the case in the hands OF
the police.
The district police will do almost
anything for money, and for the last
week the entire force has been at
work bulldozing this female leech,
threatening her arrest, Incarceration
in the government insane asylum, etc.
so that she is now in seclusion and
has utterly nothing to relate of the
sad details of her ruin. The ruin
however, appears to have been on the
other side. This is one of the oft re-
peated cases of officials being caught
by adventuresses. At least, this con
struction is put upon it by friends o.
the senator, who are trying to MAKE
out as good case for him as possible

A Managing Editors Work.

The London Times, speaking of the
work of an editor, says it can only be
appreciated bythose who.have had the
fortune to have had some experience
in it. The merest slip of the pen, an
epithet too much, wrong date, a
name misspelt, or with wrong initial
before it, the misinterpretation Of
some passage, perhaps incapable of in
depreciation, the most trifling Ofense
to the personal or national suscepti-
bility of those who do not even profe' IS
to care for the feelings of Others, may
prove not only disagreeable, but even
costly mistakes; but they are about
the least of the mistakes to which an
editor is liable. The editor must be
on the spot till the paper is sent to the
press, and makes decisions on which
not only the approval of the public
but even great causes, may hang. He
can not husband his strength with
comparative repose in the solicitude
of a study, or the freshness of green
fields. He must see the world, con
verse with its foremost or busiest
actors, be open to information and on
guard against error. All this should
be borne in mind by those who com
plain that journalism is not infallibly
accurate, Just and agreeable.
