The Romance OF the Gondola

Speaking Of the joys of the gondols Gin
behalf Of the gondolers who have struck
against steamboats) the London Teleqrdph
says:
ain these delicious conveyances he NAV
study, sketch, play music or cards, make
love, or sleep as well as in house. There
are no rude stoppages or collisions, no hide
Gus city uprosrs. At each water-worn cor
ner, as the gondola glides near it. the eau
tious oarsman whispers rather than speaks
gentle sta Ii" or sgia preme," warning any
craft which may he coming from out the
gloom to pass TO left or right. If there be
such one, its sondoIier replies in the same
muilled, mysterious tone, and the black
bulls glide swiftly by, while another long
line Of marble facades, paved always with
the green sea, opens through the low door Of
the cabin. Days pass before the enchanted
visitor realizes that this is indeed capital
without horse or a wheeled vehicle in ITS
confines; that there is 10 clamor, no dust. no
mud, no noise by day or night louder than
the soft tapping Of the tideless Adriatic on
the steps, the .prcme,' sta u or giae'
of the boatmen, ard the wash of the sea-.
weed which grows along the basement. The
perfection Of II all is when the nj hts are
brilliant with a moon, and Venice, lighted
up, fills her watery roadways with endless
glitter Of lamp and candle. Then the black
boat seems to move like thing born of the
night and belonging TO it, somber and soft
and still, gliding like shadow into shadows,
and threading the maze of canals and can
aletti as II the eyes carved upon the bows
could really see in the dark. Every trip.
every errand, at such times is voyage Of |
romance. From the Rialto TO the San .ss- |

the Lido to the Bridge Of Signs, the place is |

Prince Leopold's Maria age

Prince Leopold's betrsthal to the Princess
Helena, Of Waldeck, causes surprise, as there
were whispers of his intention TO marry In
the British peerage. The encourage OF the
court were aware that he had gone to the
continent TO select bride. The general
public have regarded his health rs bar to
matrimony. He suffers frequent attacks Of
hemorrhage from the pores. through defects
Of the skin, weakening the whole tone Of his
system. His intellectual taste, culture and
geniality make him popular. The public
are glad to regard this step as sign Of i'm.
proving health, and in his case prefer that
he should marry Princess rather than
British subject. Lord Lorne's case is bad
enough. On all state occasions the husband
sits below the salt. If the prince married q
commoner, rs her husband he would be CON-
PEELED TO show publicly his wife's inferiority
on all occasions OF precedence.

The New Trousers for Ladies.
Ne,c York Sun.

NeU York sun.
Take pair of overalls, sew gore shaped
piece between the two inside seams Of a.
two legs In front; sew plain wide piece
from ore outside seam TO the other at the
back. and there you will have perfect pat
tern Of the new trousers for ladies. or
Course any amount Of overdress, panniers,
aud furbelows can be put over this design At
the back, by way Of ornament. The bottom
Of the legs and the added pieces should lie
trimmed with the same rufling all around.
Now, II this design be cut In silk or satin, II
clear that the two legs Of It will show very
little, unless the wearer be walking, IN
which case the unusual freedom and ease Of
her movements will betray the trousers. As
far as appearance goes, no lady can be shocked
by the difference between the trouser- dress
and an ordinary dress at the bacK, and the
front gore piece carries out the resemblance
TO an ordinary costume when the wearer Is
sitting or standing. But when she walks
about the trouser shape Is confessed.
Two advantages, one OF comfort and the
other OF adornment, are claimed for this
Parisan discovery. In the FIRST place, the
movement Of the ladies will be unshackied
as those Of any man In an ulster. In the
second place, dress may be- worn much
more tight In the skirt than at present with
out any Of the present Inconvenience. La
dies have frequently been so pulled back,
tied-back and sheathed In tight skirts that
they could scarcely walk. The trousers
skirt permits them to dress still more closely
and yet leaves their limbs free. IL Is seldom
that convenience and fashion are so adroitly
In an article Of feminine apparel,
and this consideration will induce many
sensible ladies TO give the new invention q |
fair trial.

In review Of volume of John Bright's

"whose morning drum beat, following the

RAILROAD GRANTS.
Ensrts to Secure the ForfsIturs OF Certain
Lands.

WASHINGTON, December lit is GER
tain that strong efforts will be made this
winter to obtain legislation TO bring about
the forfeiture OF lands granted to railroa Is
In all cases where the condition Of the law
making the grant have not been complied
with. Two classes seek to have this done
one from honest motives, and the other, CON-
posed Of shy ster lawyers and claim agents,
hopes thereby 10 secure business growing
out OF homestead entries, etc, upon the
lands restored To the market. Leading
government officials familiar with the sub
iect are OF opinion that discrimination
should be used In such legislation, as there
are cases where circumstances would make IL
unjust 10 absolutely forfeit grants. In other
cases they think the forfeiture would be fully
Justified. Should general law of this char
acter pass, the Northern Pacific would lose
an immense body of land.
A BILL INTRODUCED.
Senator Plumb has introduced bill which
provides that where grant "f public land
has been male 10 aid the construction Of
any railroad. and such road has not been
completed within the tim" prescribed by law,
the land So granted or such quantity thereof
as had not been patented or certified to such
Company, or to any State or Trustees for Its
benefit, prior to the expiration Of the time
fixed for The completion of the read, shall
revert to the United States, and shall be open
to settlement as other public lands. The
bill funl er provides that Immediately upon
It's passage The Secretary Of the Interior shall
are open 10 settlement, and that entries will
be received At the land Office In the district
IN which the lands are situated.
THE SUBJECT OF TAXATION.
Another bill introduced by Senator
Plumb, provides that all lands granted to
railroad companies under the Act of
Pacific Railroad Act, and under all
the Acts amendalory thereof, and TO
which the several companies would have
become entitled upon payment Of the
Sost w s"'''sihs' seN''Ihs anu SohfeyHs.
shall be subject TO all legal taxes imposed
under the authority Of any Slate. or Terrific
~ In which such lands are situated, to the
same extent as they would have been had
such costs been paid and the lands conveyed |
10 the companies. BY aproviso those lands
already forfeited are exempt from the opera.
tion Of th. bill, and . further proviso de-
clares that prior to the payment Of the cost
Of surveying no taxes shall be imposed, eI-
