Clara Bell says that while the Venus OF
Milo ia regarded as the perfection Of shape
illness in women, II you were TO put her
into clothes and start her of on Broadway,
she would attract attention by her ungain-
Illness and not by her beauty. She will do
well enough in statuary, but had better
not get down from her pedestal, for she
would surely be guyed II she attempted to
pass as q fashionable woman. She would
be compelled to wear . 32-inch corset and
No. Q shoes, and would absolutely have no
style about her. We 60 in for curved
lines more than the Greeks did, and for
greater delicacy. There is no use in saying
that they were right and we are wrong,
because that will not alter the matter.
Centuries Of tight lacing has nodded the
female form into its present hour-glass pro-
portions, and IL 10 enough that the men Of
the period like 1t so. Those who want
Venus must GO but among the Indian
squaws for them. The real Venus shape 10
mot appreciated in refined society.

THE ALBANY

The contest at Albany is drawing to a
close. By concurrent resolutions adopt
ed some days ago. the Legislature stands
pledged to adjourn sine die to-day. An
attempt to amend this resolution was
voted down on Tuesday. A majority
vote may defer adjournment to a later
date. but in the present temper of the
factions it does not appear probable that
anything of the kind will be done. 1t is
to be inferred, therefore, that an election
must take place to-day or not at all at
this session. Conkling's friends seem as
determined now to stand by their chief
as at any time since the beginning of the
struggle. Two ballots were taken yes
terday without results. The vote was
the same in both cases. Lapham, the
caucus nominee is still four votes short of
an election. He must get these from the
Conkling men, or, failing in this, induce
. sufficient number of Democrats to alb
sent themselves to render his cleo
ton possible with his present follow
ing of seventy-two. We doubt if
enough Democrats can be kept away.
The Democrats have too much to gain by
sending the election over to.the people, to
aid the ''half-breeds" in securing the
election of Lapham. 1t is apparent that
Conkling is more than anxious to take a
dying chance before the people. If he
could go out and elect a Legislature ia
vorable to his ambition and purpose, he
would still be q big toad in the Republi-
can puddle. But it is hardly in order to
speculate at this writing; rather we
should wait to see what another day may
bring forth.

PARIS, July 20.-Something very like a
panic has been caused by the official an
nouncement that in consequence Of the
phenomenally hot weather prevailing here,
the water supplyof Paris is running short.
At the best of times it is entirely inade-
quate to meet the wants Of the population.
The whole water supply of the city

Morphand declares it will be six years be-
fore the existing state Of things can be

ST. PETERSBURG, July 20.-It was stated
at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs yester-
day that the person found dead in the
cemetery on Friday morning was q Mill
list, who, like Rousakoff, had been chosen
by lot to assassinate the Gar, and who,
rather than obey the order. had committed
suicide.
DUBLIN, July 20.-At . meeting Of the
Land League last night, Sexton said the
only thing positive about the Land Bill was
that it would drive the Irish out of Ire
land. Sergeant Hogan's career, he sail,
has not been one Of striking public con-
sistency. Lytton, in the House of Com
mons, had distinguished himself more by
his attacks upon the genuine represents
tives of Ireland than by anything else, and
Vernon was the landlord of landlords. 1t
was time, he said, for the League to con-
slider Immediately whether they ought not
to convene a representative assembly for
the purpose Of deciding upon their future
course.
Gordon, one Of the traversers in the re-
cent State trials, has been found guilty Tor

don correspondent says: Mr.. Forster has
had a very uncomfortable time since the
Coercion Act became q law. Every day
threatening letters have been received at
the Chief Secretary's lodge at the Phenix.
and occasionally he gets one at his house.
But these. as Lord C~arilingford (Mr. Chi
chester Fortescue) used to say, are the
pleasant perquisites Of the Chief Secre-
taryship. On Monday q man called at
Forster's residence, in Eccleston Square,
and insisted on seeing him.. Forster was
out Of town, but the man hung about the
house all day, and made no secret Of his
intent to kill Forster on sight. He was
arrested by the police, and a letter which
he had written to Mr.. Forster was found
on him, bidding the Secretary to release
the Coercion Act prisoners and resign his
Office, under pain Of death.
LONDON, July 19.-Dean Stanley died
last night of erysipelas. The Archbishop
Of Canterbury arrived in time for a few
parting words before the Dean became un.
conscious. The Dean will be buried beside
his wife in Westminster Abbey. Dean
Stanley's sister, Canons Farrar and Jones
and several members Of the Deans house
hold were present at his deathbed. He re-
manned for some time in o semi.uncnnscious
condition until he died. The News says no
living divine will be more deeply regretted
or widely missed than Dean Stanley.

Bodie Free Press The hand organ, the

sweeter music than comes from the Stan
dard and Bulwer mills. The music of the
stamps may be harsh to uneducated ears,
but to the mining camp inhabitant it is
soft and full of eloquent meaning. The
hum OF industry is a symphony compared
to the song of the stars. Every time a
ponderous stamp drops on q piece Of quartz
it indicates . bar of bullion is forming,
and it will assume shape in the near flu
ture. These two mills are doing good
work at present, and the bullion output
this year will be very large. Bodie is not

Outraged, there lisa great deal to be thank
ful for.

The journals specially devoted to the
cold interest take pains to declare that
the Monetary Conference, which closed
its sessions last week, was a total failure.
They insist that nothing was accom-
plished by it. They are particularly
anxious that people shall regard it as a
costly fzzle. This is the reverse OF the
truth. The conference had no legislative
W 1t could not bind a single nation
represented in it. 1t could do nothing
in the sense in which these journals rep
resent that it has done nothing. 1t was
called to elicit facts, to compare opinions,
to review the monetary condition OF the
commercial world and to make such sug-
g~estions to the governments represented
in it as its members considered wise and
proper to offer. There was a free inter-
change OF opinion. Questions were asked
and facts were brought out in reply.
And two important points were brought
out beyond question, III that most OF
the depreciation of silver, and the con-
sequent disturbance of the finances OF
the world, was caused by the arbitrary
action Of governments in ~demonetizing,
and t2) that the production of silver is
not now and is not likely to be SO large
as to exceed the legitimate demands for
that metal in the arts and for monetary
purposes, and to justify governments In
demonetizing or in keeping it lemon
cited.
These two points are Of fundamental
Importance. If silver is degraded from
money to mere merchandise. it must be
not from natural causes, but from politl-
cal considerations. Thisis certainly an i'm
portant gain, especially to this country.
which is now the chief silver-producing
country on the globe. The statement OF
the French and American delegates at
the close Of the conference, read by Mr..
Evarts, present considerations which de-
serve the attention of all commercial
nations. They declare that the recent
fluctuations in the value of the precious
metals as compared with each other are
injurious to m and general pros
perity !; and that a fixed relation OF values
between silver and gold would produce
important benefits to the world. They
declare that were an important group OF
States to agree upon a fixed relation Of
value between gold and silver and open
their Mints for the coinage of both
metals on that basis there would be no
difficulty in maintaining their stability
of value. They advise the adoption Of
the ratio Of l51 Of silver to l of gold as
the one best calculated to accomplish the
desired result with the least disturbance
to existing monetary systems, and sug-
gest that were England, France, Ger
many and the United States to unite in
such an arrangement other nations would
at once follow their example. This state
ment, as the conclusion Of the delegates
of the two nations that called the con-
ference, ia of itself a decided step in
advance

MACKAY's

A Trivial Circumstance Magniffed.
Carson Appeal.
Ever since John Macksy's departure for
the East the bears have made a great deal
out of the fact that he disposed Of all his
household effects as il he intended to
shake the dust OF the Comstock from his
feet forever. Many people imagine that
because Mackay is q man OF vast wealth
that his household effects must be some
thing in proportion to his income. The
fact is that few men OF the middle class
have as little furniture and effects as that
which for wears past has been considered
as sufficient for the Gould & Curry office,
Mr.. Mackay's headquarters. The receiy-
ing room contains q single table worth
probably $50. A few easy chairs, q pretty
well worn Brussels carpet and 3 small
bookcase complete the effects. An eight
dollar clock ticks away the minutes, each
one of which brings Mr.. Mackay SIS, and
the furniture of the room would NOT bring
$3.50 under the hammer. Down stairs in
the basement is q little, dark dining room,
furnished with a table service which per-
haps cost $50. Everything is perfectly
plain, and there is nothing to indicate thai
q gentleman of wealth owns it, except q
pretty good article of wine and cigars.

are at the board. The millionaire's lunch
is not so elaborate Q meal as can be found
at Charley Young's for half a dollar. Ham
and z hot cakes and coffee comprise
the breakfast. Now the few old cooking
utensils and the plain furniture Of the
place he has given away for the fact that
BE contemplates building a handsome resi-
dence in New York. 1t is hardly to be
expected that he would lug $500 worth OF
old furniture to Currie's ruction store and
dispose of it at the best figures he could
get. He simply wanted to get the furni-
ture out Of the way and disposed Of it by
giving it to anybody who happened to be
about at that time. The act, however,
was seized upon by the bears to engineer q
bresk, and the market shrunk several
millions in consequence. Mackay will be
back in October.
