THE AMERICAN GIRL ABROAD.

Here is pen -and.ink sketch of an Amer
lean girl, which is interesting as showing
how Yankee girl appears to French eyes !:
"Stylish to the backbone independent
as independent can be, but very pure. Is
devoted to pleasure, dress, spending money;
shows her moral nature nude, just as it is,
so as to deceive nobody. Flirts all winter
with this or that one, and dismisses him in
the spring, when she instantly catches an.
other. Goes out alone, travels alone. When
the fancy catches her she travels with a
gentleman friend, or walks anywhere with
him; puts boundless confidence in him !;
coniugal intimacy seems to exist between
them--she lets him tell what he feels
talks of love from morning till night /;
but she never gives him permission
to kiss go much as her hand. He
may say anything-he shall do MOTH
ing. She is restless she gives heart
and soul to amusement before she mar
ries. After marriage she is mother
annually is alone all day hears all night
nothing except discussions about patent
machinery, unexplosive petroleum, and
chemical manures. She will then let her
daughters enjoy the privileges she used
without grave abuse. As nothing serious
happened to her, why should Fanny, Mary,
Jenny, be less strong and adroit than their
mother? She originates French fashions.
Partisan women detest her. Provincial
women despise her. Men Of all countries
adore her, but will not marry her, unless
she has an immense fortune. Her hair is
vermiliop, paler than golden hair; her
black eyes are bold and frank she has
patent shape which it is forbidden to coun-
terfeit; she spreads herself In carriage as
if she were in hammock-the natural and
thoughtless posture of her passion for
luxurious ease When she walks she moves
briskly, and throws every glance right and
left; gives many OF her thoughts to her.
self, and few of them TO anybody else. She
is wild plant put in hot-house."

A SCARED CONFEDERATE.

81 think, Vest" said Senator Butler
the other day, "that the story you tell
about that fellow in Richmond, who went
to have his picture taken, is about the best
you can get off let's have it.
"Well," said the humorous little Sena-
tor from Missouri, we had a man by the
name of Peter Wilkes, who was elected to
the Confederate Congress from the Spring
field MOI district, and he came down to
the seat of Government with the air of q
Webster about hin, and just looked and
talked for all the world as if the entire re-
sponsibility of the cause rested on his indi-
vidual shoulders. / knew him at home,
disturbed about his greatness. 1t was not
long before the close of the war, when
Garland and / were walking down Grace
street, and Peter ran into us. He had
benign smile on his face, and l knew he
had been engaged in come agreeable sport.
Coming up to us, he said Vest, I've been
down street here to photographers. Got
a card from him the other day. asking me
to call and sit for picture. He wants to
get up the whole Confederate Congress
something historic, eh and Peters waist.
band stretched perceptibly at the thought
of being thus embalmed for posterity.
Tipping wink at Garland, / said:
"What shop do you mean, Petery'
.Oh, down there on Main street, giving
certain number. Just then l turned to
Garland. with alarm painted on my face,
and said:
"Why, Peter, you big ass, where have
you been in the last two weeks! Haven't
you heard anything about that fellow down
there pretending to take historic pictures ::
He is spy in the employ of the Federal
Government. We've just about proved it
on him, and he's come to Richmond to
photograph all us members for the Federal
gallery; and when this thing blows up tt g
other side will have all our pictures to aid
them in the search and prosecution! Fact,
Garland; ain'tit?
$3.50 I've heard, Vest, he said.
"Well, Peter didn't stop any longer than
it took him to say My God!' and in two
minutes he was just out of sight. That
evening he came rushing into my room
with: Vest, you've done me great favor,
and I'll remember it to my dying day
"s Find your man, Peter?
".You bet did. The id rascal had
that machine of his in the back room, and
was oiling me up. 1 just went up to him
with this trusty six-shooter lit was about a
yard long), and put it to his ear, and says |,
Shell out!' Well he shelled kind O lively
like, and / mashed it into thousand
pieces. No Federal gallery in mine!'
"Well, when the surrender came, Peter
was under the conviction that the whole
Federal Government had combined to cap
ture him, and he set out for California on
foot. Yes, he's out there yet, waiting for
the animosity against him to cool down. -

THE MYSTERY OF DoLGoURoUKI.

The Philadelphia Telegraph's Rome let.
ter says: What mystery is his connec-
ton with the Princess of Dolgourouki
And the mystery continues to enshroud her
now, after his death. The news we get
through the journals is mostly manu-
featured She has never left Russia, and
some Russians will calmly say that she has
gone mad. 1t appears also thas she was
never married at all to the Emperor. ALI
the pretty scenes with the present Empress
were fabricated, as well as the story of the
marriage, in order to promote such an
event, for it was hoped through her infu-
ence he might be persuaded to abdicate
The poor Emperor! He would do none of
the acts that would have saved his life
nor make war with Turkey. One whom
know, who was greatly wronged by the late
Emperor, says he died hero. His con-
science would not allow him to abdicate,
nor to give the constitution his loyalty to
the league of the three Emperors forbade
the Turkish invasion. His assassination
is, as the other Imperial violent deaths in
Russia, a conspiracy Of the palace. A
pure close question of politics ordered the
crime. He was not strangled by his
friends, but the plans OF Nihilists were al
lowed to have their way-he was simply
left unprotected. He left no constitution
that has also been fabricated. And if the
Princess Dolgourouki cares for life and for
the position of widow of the dead EN-
peror, she can have it, but on hard condi-
tions. The reported marriage will be made
true by decree of Alexander Ill. If she
will consent to 60 into exile with her chill.
dren. Not an open, avowed exile, but
virtual one. She will be sent to one OF
those wild, desert, eastern provinces OF the
Volga, inhabited only by wandering tribes
of half-savages, or to the gloomy regions
of the Ural. A great palace will be built
for her, and she will have court about
her-all the luxury and splendor she may
desire, but far away from civilization and
every grandeur that surrounds her will
be hollow and meaningless. Is life worth
having on such terms to such woman? If
she refuses this offer she will die in mad
house, although she may be as sane as you
or l, and her children will also disappear.
She played for high stakes and is ruined.
The royal families Of Europe are entering
dark and Swallowed period. No wonder
the weak and delicate women OF royal race
go under. The hereditary Princess Of
Denmark died on March 3lst, raving
maniac; for days she believed that she
was surrounded by Nihilists and the
health of the poor Queen Of Denmark is
most uncertain. Ten years ago, when she
was in Rome, she was such happy mother
and wife. All her matrimonial cards among
her children had turned up trumps. And
now each grandeur is q terror. How happy
are we in our favored land OF America To
be sure, Plutocracy is now our scourge and
curse, but, luckily, wealth has wings and
he who glorifies himself over his riches may
be beggar tomorrow, and most certainly
his grandchildren will not enjoy his wealth.

How NoLTAIRE CURED THE DECAY OF
HIS STOMACH. in the Z" Memoirs OF Count
Secur" there is the following anecdote !:
"My mother, the Countess de Segur, being
asked by Voltaire respecting her health,
told him that the most painful feeling she
had arose from the decay in her stomach
and the difficulty of finding any kind of
aliment that it could bear. Voltaire, by
way OF consolation, assured her that he
was once for nearly year in the same state,
and believed to be incurable, but that nev.
ertheless very simple remedy had restored
him. II consisted in taking no other nour-
ishment than yolks of eggs beaten up with
the -four Of potatoes and water" Though
this circumstance concerned so oxtraordi-
nary person as Voltaire, it is astonishing
how little it is known and how rarely the
remedy has been practiced. It's efficacy,
however, in cases of debility, cannot be
questioned, and the following is the mode
OF preparing this valuable article of food as
recommended by Sir John Sinclair: Beat
up an egg in bowl and then add six ia
blespoonfuls of cold water, mixing the
whole well together /; then add two table,
spoonTuls Of farina of pctatotes let it be
mixed thoroughly with the liquid in the
bowl then pour In as much boiling water
as will convert the whole into jelly, aud
mix it well. 1t may be taken alone or
with the addition of little milk in case OF
stomachie debility or consumptive disor-
ders. The dish is light and easily digested,
extremely wholesome and nourisning.
Bread or biscnit may be taken with it Is
the stomach gets stronger.

How "SARAH" Cor SOME WooD Cur.
Occasionally, yes, very often, woman is
more than a match for man. A farmer
living in the outskirts of New Haven was
in hurry to get his farm work along. and
went out into the field with his boys and
hired man, entirely overlooking the fact
that the last stick of wood in the woodpile
had been burned to get the breakfast.
Raging hungry the force came in at noon:
The good wife had the table get with all
the taste of which abe was mistress, and
it really looked inviting, but there was no
dinner upon it. Sarah, where's the din
ner ?" inquired the farmer somewhat anx.
iously. 81 don't know whether it is done
or not. There was no wood for fire, go
hung it in the warmest place could find.
It's on the ladder at the south side OF the
house" The whole force was detailed at
chopping wood that afternoon.

AT THE GAZE.

There's a silence deep, and brooding sleep.
That over the drear earth steals;
And the gentle buzz OF the June bugs cGz
Through the orchard and meadow peals.
At the garden gate, though its rather late,
Stand youth and maiden fair;
She is seventeen, and little lean,
And she bangs her nut-brown hair,
The old gate creaks as Maud's bushing cheeks
Are kissed by two rose-red lips;
Down the garden path, with great big Hath,
stern parent softly skips
There's scattered group, and wild, wild whoop
And a swiftly moving boot:
In the new spring pants see him madly prance,
And away for street car scoot.
