I have found the worst feminine qualities almost invariably allied to the blonde style;
 not the green or gray eyed blondes with straight, abundant hair and fresh coloring, but the sallow or pallid being, with light blue eyes and limp waving hair-an innocent looking creature, with feline manners patte de velours, and such claws! These are the women who delude and destroy men; who never forgive an injury or forget slight 1; who smile and talk sweetly, and put on airs, of meek piety and fine art and refinement, but under all are scheming, unprincipled, false to the core. Did not Lucrezia Borgia have golden hair Was not Lady Macbeth @ Scottish woman, presumably with lint-white locks? Two of the worst and most brilliant women I ever knew had this stylet of com plexion, and the lovely being whose picture was my childish adoration, who sat simper- ing over the library shelf in dear old Uncle W.'s house, robbed in satin and sables, her golden hair curling like child's, her sap- phire eyes as inscrutable as a deep spring, her rosebud lips soft and fresh as babys, and her taper white fingers crossed in her lap, was virago, a drunkard, with no sym tom of principle-the mystery and curse of
 the old and honorable family she married into Black-haired and dark-eyed women are quick-tempered, electric, generous
 jealous probably, but full of relenting, and capable of being coaxed into or out of any thing. Weak as to their affections, snappy as to their temper; warm of heart and hot of head, they are never very bad or very good, and are the delightful torment of every man who loves them and whom they do not love too much but love makes slaves and fools of them, and they are Eidiculsusly constant

Famous vaIe&'s Death.
Washington letter to Agusta chronicle.[

The death of the faithful the devoted, the virtuous "Harry" was great shock to our distinguished Representative (Alexander H. Stephens). Harry originally belonged to the Googer family and in 1850 was purchased for
 $500 by MT. Stephens. In 1S43 Mir. Stephens
 bought little colored girl named Eliza, who | afterward- became Harry's wife and the mother of a numerous progeny. For more than thirty years Harry has been to MT. Ste phens servant, a friend and a major domo. No mother could have watched over and nursed child with more tenderness, con stancY and patience than Harry did his mas ter and friend. The results of the war
 made no difference between the two save in the civic status of the colored man. He had
 been allowed to do as he pleased as a slave j;
 he had not much more liberty as a freed man. Nor did it ever enter into that noble mind for an instant that there should be a severance of the relation between him and MT. Stephens. While life lasted both were faithful to each other and to themselves, and now that the black man has gone before, the white man, who never expected to survive his colored brother, mourns for him as David did for Jonathan. There is no sadder heart in the wide world to day than that of the il- lustrious Alexander H. Stephens, who, un- der the vast dome of the Capitol, sorrows to think that in a distant Georgia village his faithful Harry lies celd and stark and dead. Yet, if there be life eternal, as believe, for all mankind, what paradise of the redeemed can loug be lost to such man as Harry? MT. Stephens computes that Harry's income for a number of years has been at least $1, 800, and that he has left an estate worth about $20, ,000, gained by his honest thrift and in- duStry

A Couple Happily Married, but Living
 Alone Hundreds of Miles From Each
 Other-The singular Life of a Wealthy
 California Woman.
 On board an east bound passenger train, over the Rock Island railroad from Council Bluffs, Iowa, reporter of the Council Bluffs Nonpare1 noticed a very elegantly attired and quite handsome lady, whose bearing de- noted education and refinement. The news gatherer bestowed nothing more than pass ing glance upon the lady, until informed by a gentleman on the train, acaualEted with the facts, that there a very interesting history connected with her life that would be sweet morsel'' for the newspaper man who possessed enterprise" and "facial area" sufficient to secure a recital of the same from the fair one. Receiving an inkling of the story, the reporter boldly approached the lady, and taking a seat in front of her, gently hinted that she might consider herself a sub- ject for a newspaper interview. Then the reporter proceeded to state what he under stood about her interesting history, pretend ing, of course, that he knew a great deal more about it than he really did. The lady smiled pleasantly, and with the preliminary remark that ''it has always been mystery to me how newspaper men find out so many things that they have no business knowing" she proceeded to tell a very interesting and singular story of her life, which is given about as told, though not in the lady's own words.

She desired to remain true to her first love-" and was will ing to wait until he could come and claim her. with the poor Missouri lover, and strongly expressed desire that she should unite herself with the young rich and handsome miner at last prevailed, and, unwillingly, but to please her parents, the young lady allowed herself to be led to the hymeneal altar and there unite her life and fortunes with her parents choice. In three or four years after her marriage the young husband was taken sick and died, leav- ing his wealth to his charming wife. The lady found herself widow with one child wealthy and still handsome. In the mean time her father and mother died, and she was left alone. True to the VOWS made in boy hood, her Missouri lover had remained single, and hearing of the death of the husband her parents had selected, he renewed his cores pondence, they found that they still loved each other, and the man, who had become a large land owner and quite wealthy farmer, renewed to the charming widow the proposal of his youth for her hand in marriage.

 During recent session of the Galveston County District Court a stranger employed one of our young lawyers to assist the coun- ty attorney in prosecuting a man charged with burglary. The young lawyer did his very best to convict the burglar, but the jury acquitted him without leaving their seats When the stranger who had employed the young lawyer to prosecute the burglar came to pay the young lawyer, the latter said :: tT will only take half the money, as failed to convict him." That's just why I want to pay you we'll" was the reply of the stran- ger. 1.-The prisoner is my brother, and if I hadn't hired you to help the State he would have been convicted and sent to the penitentiary.

Murder will out (sometimes), and recent
 murder in Albany was brought to light in an odd way. The dead body of baby was found in the street wrapped in St. Louis Republican, which looked as if an editor s shears had been through it. A detective soon discovered that the Albany Journal was the only paper that exchanged with the Republican, and this clew straightway fastened the infanticide on Fannie Collins, domestic in the family of one of the Journal editors.
 Much bitterness has been aroused in Cath. olic circles in France by the decision of the Higher Council of Public Instruction that religious matters must henceforth be exclud- ed from the examinations which persons who wish to become teachers are compelled to undergo. Up to the present time a certain offensive catechism has been part of the requirements in the examination, and the clerical party pretends that the very founda- tions of religion have been shaken by the banishment of this catechism. John Le- moine, in an article in the Debdts, shows that this catechism is particularly obnoxious, and that it contains numerous outrageous ques- IlOAS anu duSWors, WuicA uo 4uoecs. 1Ao Republicans show no disposition to finch in their terrible struggle with the Church, and they announce that they will not cease their attacks until separation of Church and State is accomplished.
 An English paper gives us an account of 8 curious action brought against the Judge of the Admiralty Court by a member of his family. The plaintiff, a woman, conducted her own case in person She claimed that the defendant owed her certain sums of money on contract entered into some time previous As she declared this contract was a written one, on call it was produced by the defendant, when the irate plaintiff de- clared that the paper shown the court was not the one she signed. The paper shown contained the following remarkable item (" agree to hold my tongue and not to mo- lest by word or deed any member of my family, on their paying me a guinea a week" This promise signed with the plain tiff's name she insisted was not given for so small a consideration. She asked the Judge Eff it was expected she should sign paper to hold Aer tongue and star0e? ?" The Judge thought guinea week would prevent that catastrophe. Finally the indignant woman was rendered more indignant by having judgment pronounced against her. A cynic would remark that the holding of woman's torgue is worth at least a aui-aa a week.

For burns or scalds nothing j:
more soothing than the white of an
egg, which may be poured over the
wound. 1t is softer as a varnish fol
a burn than collodion, and, being
always at hand, can be applied inn
mediately. 1t is also more cooling
than ''sweet oil and cottor," which
was formerly supposed to be the
surest application to allay the smart
ing pain. 1t is the contact with the
air that gives the extreme discomfort
experienced from ordinary accsdents
of this kind. and anything which
excludes air and prevents inhama-
ton is the thing to be at once APP
piled. The egg is also considered
one of the best remedies for dysen-
terry. Beating up slightly with OF
without sugar and swallowed, il
tends by its emollient qualities to
lessen the inflammation of the stom-
ach and intestines, and by forming
transient coating on the organs, to
enable nature to resume her health
full sway over the diseased body.
Two, or at most three eggs per day,
would be all that is required in or
dinary cases; and since the egg is
not merely medicine, but food as
well. the lighter the diet otherwise
and the quieter the patient is kept,
the more certain and rapid is the
recovery,
