-EHR1cu's Fashion Quarterly for
the Fall season of 1881 is before US,
and merits word of commentator.
The number is the largest ever is
sued, containing 120 large quarto
pages of original and interesting
matter, illustrated with hundreds of
excellent engravings. The magazine
is divided into two departments,
both interesting to ladies'; either of
which, alone, is worth the trifing
subscription price. Of these, The
first is devoted to literature, pure
and simple; and contains an agreea-
bic melange of interesting, amusing
and instructive articles. A special
department entitled "Our Easy
Chair" is conducted by Hope Led
yard, who discusses home topics in
her we'll known chatty style. An
illustrated 'Lesson in Dressmaking"
is another useful feature; and tales,
sketches and essays, original and Sc.
lected, abound. The second division
Of the magazine is devoted to the il,
lustration and description of the cur
rent fashions; and so far as we are
competent to judge, the work is
faithfully performed. Every article
needful TO the dress Of ladies or
children is illustrated and described
under its appropriate heading; and
the current retail price in New York
is given for every article described.
With this magazine as a guide, it is
difficult to see how lady can fail to
do her shopping in the most tho
rough and economical manner; since
it tells her, not only what to buy, but
also what price TO pay for it. Even
to those who never propose to buy
outside their own town or village, it
must be of immense value, as emma
bling them to plan their shopping
Systematically, and execute it eco
nomically. The subscription to the
magazine is only so cents year, or
Is cents copy. The publishers are
Enrich Bros, Eighth Avenue and
Twenty-fourth ST., New York City.

POLITICS As A PROFESSION.

AS long as there are politics there
will be politicians. The one follows
the other as necessary sequence
The politician is necessary evil.
He is always watching the main
chance and he never loses sight of
the best interests of the "dear peo-
ple." He is ever ready with his ad,
vice and counsel and he makes it his
business to know just what ought to
be done at the right time. Of the
politician per Sc we have no com
plant to make. In a representative
government be fills a place that it
would never do TO leave vacant and
unoccupied. The most of people
have not tine to attend such things
and but for the politician the coun-
try would soon 60 to the "demnition
pow vows" And then, too, it re-
quires a peculiar order Of talents to
be politician. He must be scho-
lar, gentleman, a man of natural
parts, a fine Judge of human nature,
ready reader of character and lie
must have the capacity of being ON
nipresent as to passing events and
unerring in his judgment as to caus-
es and effects. The making of tell,
ing speeches at the county barbe
cues is the easiest of his duties, and
the writing Of q leader for the coun-
ty paper to direct public sentiment
at the proper time by no means ex.
hausts the call upon his euergy and
tact. This man there must be
watcheG--this other one over in an.

What is popular in one section may
be just the reverse in another and
both have to be pleased somehow
1t is his duty to devise the ways anG
means of steering clear of Sylla ant
of avoiding shipwreck on Charibdis
All of these varied and various mat
tiers have to be attended to and it is
his duty, inasmuch as he has inyol
unfairly assumed the task, to attend
to them.
1t will be readily seen that the du
ties of the professional politician art
not easy nor is his selt-imposed bur
den light. AS we said, with such {
politician we have no quarrel. W.

past and his hopes have gone "wher'

politician would degrade politics tt
the level of burglary and highwa,

An Eagles Appetite.

]. II. Welker, proprietor Of the
Zoe Hooker House on Robinson
street, has an eagle which is fond
of feasting on cats and rats. Boys
living in the northern part Of the
city, upon learning that the bird
was fond cats. carried some there
every day to see the eagle destroy
them. The report was circulated
that the proprietor paid literally
tor cats, and a great many more
were brought than the eagle could
devour. 1t was not an unusual
thing to see boys after school with
half dozen cats in a bag, some
Of which had been stolen from the
neighbors. Finally Mr.. Wclkcr
refused to allow the boys TO feed
any more cats to the bird, and
now buys rats, paying fifty cents
per hundred. 'IIow many rats
have YOU purchased during the
past week." asked the reporter OF
Mr.. Welkcr, and he replied, "Sev-
en- Dozen" The rats are thrown
into the cage alive, and the eagle
grabs them on the back, pierces
them through the vi,als, and kills
them the same as il did the cats,
The rats must be perfect, with
out being maimed, or else the ca
gle will not touch hem.-Rcading
