GERMANY AND THE SANDWICH ISLAND

GERMANY AND THE SANDWICH ISLANDS.
The New York Sun is anxious to
know if there is anything in the report
from Germany that Bismarck is con-
templating a protectorate of the Sand
WITCH Islands. 1t is well known, says
the Sun, that the Chancellor had his eye
on the Samoan group, and but for the
failure of the Hamburg firm of Godefroy
might have carried out his project of an
nexation in the South Sea. But he ought
to know that not only British interest,
but far more serious obstacle, the vigor
GUS foreign policy of Secretary Blaine,
will stand between him and Honolulu.
Nevertheless, the Mdgdeburg Gazette says
that IAN agent of King Kalakaua is now
at Berlin with the object of negotiating
a cession, or at all events a protectorate,
of the Hawaiian Islands" The journal
adds that Bismarck strongly favors the
suggestion, and that it finds many adj
vOcates at court, including Prince
Henry, who, in the due dourse of things,
will be placed at the head of the German
navy

LEAF FROM A GovERNoR's LlFE.--
The Governor Of State docs not lie
on bed Of roses, and in the discharge
OF official duties has many trying ex-
periences. A correspondent relates an
incident illustrating this, which occur
red in tho office Of Governor Foster,
Of Ohio, at Columbus
Walking into the Governors Office
one day, the correspondent found the
Governor pacing across the room, with
his hands clasped behind his back Wig.
orously putting away at cigar, and
evidently in deep study. Saluting Gov.
ernor Foster, the writer put the ques-
ton: "Ilow goes the Senatorial con-
tcst2' "The hardest contest before
me at the present moment is in there
and he pointed toward his private
Office. "You see that young lady in
tbere--a very fine girl. She was here
last week, and remained all day, She
is here now-came bright and early
this morning-to beg for pardon ior
her brother, who is serving out ten
years sentence In the peniteutiary,

whole lie was eentered in securing a
pardon for her brother; but, as | said
before, | cannot do it, though she
doesn't understand why" just then
sobs were heard coming from the pri
vate room, and the Governor continu
cd: "Yes, she has been begging and
imploring all day, with tears in her
eyes, for mo TO give her brother back
to her. 1t is very trying, indeed, "a

coRRUPT0RS or BALLoTS

In England the people have become
interested in doingaway with the PERM.
oious custom of candidates buying
their election TO Office, and the Attor.
ney General has taken steps TO put IN
end to such practices, by making severe
laws designated to punish such char
acters. The noble stand of Mr.. Coke,
Of Luzerne, has already accomplished
great good in this State in the same di.
rection, and we hope to see a radical
change in the methods adopted to So
cure positions of honor and profit A
reasonable effort, within the bounds OF
just exertions, is oommendable. Can
didates should minglc with the people
and by written words or public utter.
ances give their views upon questions
of public interest. II is also right and
proper to incur certain expenses, such
as securing tickets, helping TO the polls
the infrm, paying necessary taxes, etc.
These efforts are not corrupting in
their tendency. Candidates, however,
who use money TO purchase Uoters, TO

TORTURE OF HORSES.

Among the every day torments to
which the horse is subjected We will
enumerate the following IL. A bra
ed breast 2. lnaamed back from
defective saddle or harness pad. 3.
Sore mouth from too tight gag rein,
a severe bit or both. 4. A sore tail
from an i'll fitting or too tight crup.
per. 3. An abrasion under the body,
caused by tight or badly fitted belly
band. G. Irritation of the eyes from
binders being strapped too close to-
gether, or, on the other hand, are al
lowed TO swing around, first striking
on one eye then on the other. Z.
Ears chaied by the brow band being
too high, or by metallic rosettes with
a sharp outer rim, the base Of the car
pressing across this at every motion.
8. The excessive fatigue Of all the
structure of the neck under the inhu-
ence of the bearing rain. The bearing
rein II made taut and kept so for any
considerable length Of time, is q source
Of great discomfort to all horses and
an insuflerabe torment to many A
taut rein can be used with entire pro.
propriety on horses of fine easy up car
riage, especially while IN motion, but
if the muscles or the bony structure Of
the neck extend forward horizontally
from an upright shoulder rather than
striking out from slantng shoulder,
then the most intense pain will be in
flcted by straining the neck up to an
anglo entirely unnatural TO the animal,
especially ifthls strain be kept up long.
To hang culprit up by the thumbs is
certainly one OF the severest admissible
punisbments that can be inflicted upon
mortal, and the check rein is undoubt-
ably akin to it in extreme applications.

OUR BIG NEEDLE.

The Obelisk presented by the late
Khedive Of Egypt to the city OF New
York, was swung TO its pedestal in
Central Park on Saturday noon, Jan.
uary 22. What the New York World,
always scholarly, calls its "defnitive
elevation" was accomplished in pre-.
cisely FIVE minutes, The height of tho
Obelisk, including Its pedestal, is sew.
enty.six feet and one inch, and the
weight of the Obelisk proper is 219l
tons. 1t is very aged piece of stone
work so old that Moses played around
it when boy, and perhaps tried to
throw stones over its top. 1t is full OF
hieroglyphics, unintelligble to the most
of the New Workers who will cape at
it, but which an intelligent Egyptolo.

name smacks Of the Hungarian dialect,
has kindly translated. This immense
piece of stonewaro has been transport.

been done without an accident or mis-.

pense bestowed upon this old relic Of
Thothemes Ill. and Rameses-the
Egyptian gentleman whose inscriptions
ornament its sides-evnce the pluck
and perseverance of the American
character. If we want an obelisk we

"THE EVANGELIST AND HIS
GRANDMOTHER"

The editor OF the Philadelphia Times,
in recent Issue of his journal, admins.
ters a wholesome rebuke to somebody
in this way:
can old story, which seems to be
pretty well authenticated, comes across
the continent concerning the curious
statement and action of an eminent
evangelist. This gentleman, who is
justly esteemed for his good works
and for the magnetic power with which
he holds immense audiences, seems TO
have been arrogating to himself the
privilege Of deciding where certain
individuals 60 after they leave this
world. In doing this he has been com.
PEELED toindulge personalities which

long been customary Tor many preach.
ers to warn evil doors against the posi-.
bic consequences of their pernicious
deeds, and TO tell them that if they
continue doing as they have done they
will 90 to the bad place. No charge
OF improperly need be made against
the man whose conscientious sense of
duty leads him thus TO put the un.
righteous on their guard. When q
preacher descends TO such personalities
as to give the names Of persons who
have gone to hell and whom he believes
now to be there, the better class of
people in his audience cannot help
feeling that he is talking about that OF
which he knows 80 little that no would
do wisely 10 refrain from discussing

that few years ago o conspicuous

absurd by his equally assured asserva.

There is an old saying "When the

HEREDITARY DESCENT OF
BEAUTY

Mr.. Darwin believes that the general
beauty of the English upper class, and
especially OF the titled aristocrcy, is
probably due to their constant selec.
tion Of the most beautiful women of
all classes (peeresses, actresses, or
wealthy bourgeoises) as wives through
an immense number Of generations.
The regular features and fine complex.
ions of the mothers are naturally hand
cd down by inheritance to their descend
ants Similarly it would seem that we
must account for the high average of
personal beauty amongst the ancient
Greeks and the modern Italians By the
high average of general taste, the
strong love Tor the beautiful, diffused
amongst all classes in both those races.
The prettier women and the hand.
somer men would thus stand q better
chance of marrying, other things be-
ing equal, and Of handing down their
own refined type and form TO their
children If this be so-and evolu-
tionists at least can hardly doubt it,
then we should expect everywhere to
find the general level Of personal
beauty highest where there was the
widest diffusion of aesthetic taste.
Now, our own squalid poor are no.
ticeable, as a rule, for theii absolute
and repulsive ugliness, even when com
pared with those of other European
countries. Gaunt, haid.iaced women,
low.browed, bulldog looking men,
siokly, shareless children people the
back slums of our manufacturing
towns. Their painful uglness cannot
all be due to physical circumstances
alone; for the lazaroni who hang
about the streets of Naples must lead
lives Of about equal hardship and dis.
comfort; yet many of them, both men
and women, are beautiful enough Ia
sit as models for LEONARDO, On the
other hand, every traveller speaks in
high admiration of the beauty and
grAceiuness displayed by young and
old among the aesthetic Polynesians
while in many like cases ] note that
Europeans who have once become ac'
customed to the local type find decid'
edly pretty faces extremely common
in several savage races whose primi-
tive works of art show them in other
ways to possess considerable aesthetic
taste. In India, where artistic feeling
is universal, almost every man or won.
an is handsome. On the whole, il
seems fairly proven that the average
personal beauty everywhere roughly
corresponds to the average general
love for beauty in the abstract.
Clearfield Republican. [volume] (Clearfield, Pa.) 1851-1937, 1881-02-09
THE STANDARD WOMAN

A writer urging the necessity OF
more attention TO physical culture
notes as favorable sign the fact that
the pale and interesting type Of ie-
male beauty is fast losing its populari-
ty, and that men of position and influ.
once are declaring for the healthy
standard OF womanly beauty, such as
were ever recognized by Greece and
Rome. This certainly an important
and happy change in public taste, and
already the effects of it are TO be de-
tected in an improved condition of fem.
inine health, for it will hardly be denied
that on an average the women of to-
day are physically superior to what
they were few years ago when tight
lacing and similar destroying customs
prevailed,
Young women take more exercise
than they formerly did. They ride
and walk more, and are more in the
open air. They have not the insane
dread of the suns rays which they
once had. But there is much room
for Improvement yet. Many homes
are still presided over by invalid wives,
mothers, who furnish a constant spec
tacle of sadness and misery to their
friends, and are a subject of ulmited
expense TO their husbands. In such
homes, the greatest Of all blessings that
could be hoped tor would be the health
of the mistress restored but often it is
the one blessing which never comes.
American homes more than any
other, perhaps, in the world, have
been made sad by sickly women. II
this shall be so no longer it will be o
great blessing to the nation. And the
remedy is simple, American men arc
as strong and healthy as those OF other
nations; there is no good reason why
American women should not be. AL
that is needed is proper attention tC
dress and exercise. Let women dress
as men do, so that their bodies shall
not be squeezed and pressed together
but have free room for motion, and lei
them 90 out into the air and sunshine
and exercise their bodies, and the race
of English women will not become ex
tinct us IL once threatened to do.
On the contrary, it will be improved
built up and beautifed, and time will
shortly come when healthy man will
not have to hunt the whole country
over to find a healthy wife. We ar,
on the right track now and all that
is needed is to 60 ahead and the result
will soon be manifest. Women vii
die to be in fashion; therefore let th,
fashion of female beauty be vigor ant
strength, and all the ladies in the lane
will be swinging dumb.bells, practic
ing archery, riding on horseback ant
walking as for wager; but they will
be in style.
