BATHING AT

Female Form.

Gath" in the Brooklyn Eagle.l
There is little bathing at Brighton,
and in this respect ! was disappointed.
People do not come here flying from
the heat and plunge in the water to
cool the blood, as we do. They fly
from the cold as well to those sheltered
south coasts and seek an equal climate
rather than a revulsion of climate.
All the time | have been here it has
been pretty cold weather, although a
s~oftening wind from the face Of the
sea abides even in the dampness. The
Englishmen are often fine swimmers
and there seems to be no treacherous
current here, bearing the swimmer off
to sea, and consequently the nude
bodies of young Britons are seen half
a mile out in the water. The women
do not swim as much as ours. Eng
lish women battle in flannel, generally
blue, with no sleeves, the arms,
which are the best limbs they
have to show, being exposed to the
armpit. The sun does not scorch
those fine muscular arms, but merely
puts a little haze or fog upon them to
tempt their roses out. They all wear
bathing shoes or rather slippers, which
do not hide the ankle, as the pebbles
here and strong surf would soon LAGER
ate the feet. They wear stockings in
but few cases and, l think, wear cor
sets in the water but little. The
bathing dress is made loosish, partic-
ularly below the middle,a and is seldom
belted. The legs are wide and not
tied, so hat the British legs are re-
vealed in their full length, and often
above the knees. A cool, measured
and judicious view brings me to the
conclusion that the British leg is fair
to middling. Il lacks three Of the
noble elements of the American limb
the large, round, tapering calf, the
small ankle and the high in
stepped, well born foo. The
British calf is like a bandage
tied on, punching once and then slid
ing away into leanness; the whole foot
Of the English woman is a masculine
article, girded into abominable shoes,
which may be sensible in design, but
are without symmetry, | think we
make the best shoes in the world for
both men and women. We are the
best dressed people, although the
model of our style is manifestly Paris
ian. Continuing with the female an,
atomy, | may say that American girls
resemble the French more than the
English, yet resemble neither much.
There is a refinement of skin and
Latin contrasts in the French girls
face difficult to surpass; but in form
the French woman is almost without
hips, unless she is a labOring weman
aud planed off like a board. Her feet
are comedy, however, and the ankle is
cut square, giving her freedom with
out strength of motion there, At
Brighton saw s1me few, rare speci-
mems of beautiful vital life in English
girls; such had generally darkish hair,
dark or brown eyes, skins without
roses, of a pale, brunette tint and
bodies fluent, limbs long and necks
and heads cut fine and clear Of the
shoulders.

NRw YoRk, November 26.-The EreninG
Po.l says it appears that the great rise oil
Wednesday In North Western and in St.
Paul was due to the reports Of large stock
dividends. There are reports that Van.
derbilt intended to bring about union
Of the Chicago and Northwestern, Lake
Shore, and New York Central. Lake
Shore and Michigan Southern stocks have
been addedito the London list, and are sell
lingat 129. Speculation continues at high
pressure at the Stock Exchange, but up
to the present time II has been confined to
much larger extent than in previous
years, when it has run to extremes TO pro-
fessional speculators. The proposed con.
solidation Of the two mining exchanges is
now under discussion. Speculation in
cotton has blazed up to-day, and the re-.
suit Is that the price here Is considerably
higher than in Liverpool.
Thus far to-day the Treasury bought
$4,000 OF 6's Of 1880, at 1929. Erie second
consuls are up to 103;a103!, the highest
price ever paid for them. Erie earnings,
are reported, and rate nearly S24 900, 900 per
annun. The banks are still losing money
to the Interior and to the Treasury, but
are gaining, although in the smallest de.
gree, by the good imports. The receipts
Of gold thus far this week have been

TO the Irish Situation,

/
TO the Irish Situation.
LONDON, November 20.-The Times says:
We fear that Forster was unable Yesterday
to encourage his colleagues with the re-
port that the lawlessness is abating in Ire
land. It is too plain that the most detest.
able outrages daily occur, and that un.
paralleled terrorism has been imposed
upon three Irish counties. The law is al
most powerless to prevent these crimes or
to punish these criminals, and the anthor-
tiles have made every effort to protect life
and property by employing ordinary
forces, but the conspiracyis too strong'and
subtle to be 30 restrained. The utmost
that can be done efeCtually at present Is
to defend persons who are threatened.
The legal enforcement ofcontracts relating
to'land, Is at an end In most parts Of Mum
ster and Connaught, and the lawlessness OF
the peasantry and OF the masses In the
towns Is seething and spreading. These
facts continue 10 cause grave anxiety TO
the authorities in Ireland, and we may
conclude that the Cabinet has not resolved
to set aside their views, even for short
time, without much hesitation and mis-.
giving; but the decision has been adopted
partly on the faith OF the hopes which
spring eternal in the ministerial breast.
