A Tautonic Argument.

in the Legislature of Ohio, some
years ago, there was a warm dispute
whether a certain proposed railroad
should commence at a given point down
or at a certain other up the river.
"Who ever heard" said a down-the-
river advocate, "of beginning anything
at the top? Who ever heard of building
chimney from the top downward ?
Whoever saw house begun at the top?'
Up jumped a Dutch member from an
up-the-river county. " Meester Brezi-
dent, de ientlemans gay dat dees beez-
mes ees all Won hoomboog, because wee
wants to pegeen our railroat NIT de top
ov de Shtate, und he make some seely
combarisons apout de houze und de
schimney. 1 veel also ask de ientle-
mans Won questions. Zen bees bart oy
de Shtate, ven dey pegins to built Won
veil, do dey pegins NIT de bottom ov de
veil, or do dey pegins NIT de top ov de
veil? Veel de jentlemans blees answer
me dat leetle Won question ?"
The laughter which explosively fol-
lowed this Teutonic retort showed who,
in the opinion of the Legislators, had the
better of the argument. Harper Mag

Indian Girls Husbands.

The Indian girl who becomes educated
seldom marries an Indian. She prefers a
white man. If she marries an Indian,
she will become a common squaw and

ton are looked up to. They control the
other Indians, as the mulatto controls
the full black. So the educated Indian
girl land there are hundreds of college
graduates in the nation) marries white,
that her children may be half-breeds.
It is really unpopular to be a full-blooded
Indian, and the popularity of the pure
Indian is gradually fading ont of the
race. Chicago Tribune.

The Begonia and Cashmere Shawls.

About two centuries ago q French
navigator named Begon brought from
Asia new plant, which is still called
after him, begonia. Few readers would
suspect the part this plant plays in the
production Of the handsome shawls so
priced by ladies. The best by far of
these are made in Cashmere, q beauti-
full district at the foot of the Himalaya
Mountains The material used in their
manufacture is the finest down from the
Ihibet goat Every one has probably
remarked the singularly graceful pat
terms with which they are ornamented,
and perhaps wondered whether they
were studies from nature or the pro-
duction of the artists brain. They are
the former Nature in the East supplies
admirably graceful leaves on which the
sun designs delicate ornaments, and the
workmen of Cashmere initiate them, as
the Grecian sculptors copied the curves
of the acanthus in the Corinthian cap.
itals. These leaves are those of the be-
gonia. When the French arrived in
Egypt, at the end of the last century,
they were surprised to see the Orientals
wearing costumes, shawls, turbans,
sashes, etc, of beautiful cashmere
work. They greatly admired these
dresses, which fell so gracefully on the
human form When the conquerors Of
the pyramids returned to France they
displayed their rich booty, which i'm
mediately came into fashion among the
ladies'. From that period they have
constantly remained in high favor.
Their prices vary from 5000 to 800
Under the empire, no lady with any
pretension went out without Cashmere
shawl The taste for these articles, al
though not so great rs formerly, has
not entirely ceased. However, it is
very rarely now that n person wears
real Indian Cashmere; the articles In
general use are the product OF French
manufacture.
