Walter SCOTS Chiyairy.

The deficiency of Waltes Scots pct
ures OF women Todd as it seems to say
sol should be greatly attributed 10 his
natural chivalry. His conception of tue
higher class of women was always too
romantic. He hardly yentured, as ii
were, in his tenderness for them, 10 look
deeply into their little weaknesses and
intricacies OF character. y
With women OF an inferior class he
had not this feeling. Nothing can be
more perfect than the manner in which
he blends the dairy aud woman
of business, in JEANNE Deans, with
the lover and the sister. But once make
o woman beautiful, or IN any way an OBJ
iect of homage to him, and Scott bowed
30 low before the image of her that he
could not so deep into her heart.
To some extent, therefore, SCOTS
pictures Of women remain something In
the style Of the miniatures OF the last
age--bright and beautiful beings, With
out any special strength. He was daz-
zled by fair heroine. he could not
take them up into his imagination AZ
real beings - Richard Hutton
CHARITY, or love, is the connecting
link which unites eartn to heaven. aid
man to man. While this remains se-
cure, justice, benevoience, truth, con-
scientiousness, viii form parts Of that
beanteous whole, without which the
bond of society must be unrooted, and
this earth relapse into second cllaos.

Mans Self.Ilnnortancc.


Mrs. Jameson, in more instances than
one, shows her belief in elf-importance
being mans prime quality. Here is one
thing that breathes hard spirit. "Per-
sond vanity in man is sheer, unmiti-.
gated egotism, and an uafailing subject
Of ridicnla and contempt with all women,
be they wise or foolish. /" The Countess
Of Blessington, who was almost IS wise
as she was handsome, has left few out
spoken opinions, of which one is that
self possession and dignity ought TO
characterize n man Of birth and genius,
and poet should neither be gay nor
fiippant." Here is singer: "Mun can
pity the wrongs inflicted by other men
ON the gentler sex, but never thosewh
they themselves infiict on women
Though the following would apply
eqnally well to women, 1t is worth re-
membering as showing that to delicate-
minded woman the man who prides him.
self on being bear, growing out I'M
palatable truths Mt every breath, g not
considered the pleasantess of compan-
ions: ssyour speaking men, says
the Countess. .sare usually either OF OBJ
tuse intellect or of ill-natured DISPOSE
lions, wounling the feelings Of others
from want Of deliracy of mind aud SEN
sibilitv, or from Intentional malice
Tie Countess grows concise, and in say
ing that womaf's head is always inflGl-
eneed by her heart, and mans heart IS
always influenced by his head, " utters
an epigram worthy Of Pope. In the
same epigranmatic mood must this have
been conceived: ssGreat men direct tile
events Of their times; wise men take adj
yantloe Of them; weak men are borne
down by them" Elsewhere she says:
I'm the society Of pc sons of medaocrity
of intellect n clever man viii appear to
have less spirit than those around him
who possess the least, because he IS dis
placed ia their company.

The Hair of Prominent Men.

In this feature, writes the New York
correspondent of the Rochester Demo
crat, N. P. Willis and Horace Greeley
were entirely dissimilar. Willis had long
and beautiful ringlets, of which he was
very proud. while, rs is well known,
Greeley became bald early in life, the
base Of the head being merely fr.lged
with gold. We may note that many Of
our best writer's or public men were in a
similar condition. Washington Irving
wore wig half his lifetime. William
Lloyd Garrison was well known for his
smooth pate. Wendell Phillips has only
q few scattered silver locks. Ralph Wal
do Emmerson keeps his head cropped
closely. Such, also, was the practice of
the late Charles Simmer It may be
urged against long haired men that not
only Willis (who was rake) was thus
adorned. but also that the magnates of
the Brooklyn scandal, (Beecher and Til
tom are also of the long haired class.
Theodore Parker, on the other hand, was
bald and so was John Quincy Adams
The late Chief Justice Chase was much
in the same condition. Speaking Of
fashion, it may be said that the ancient
Greeks wore their hair long, while tie
Egyptians cut it off. and wore light wigs
In France, Mt one time, short hair was
the style, and in the reign of Louis Qua
torze it was worn of protligious length,
and was done ND in lofty manner. The
hair fashion Of New York, at present, de-
serves more space than can just now be
afforded. Notwithstanding the importance
of f1a theme

Bismarck.


About tllirty-five years ago, when the
German Chancellor was only plain Otto
Won Bismarck, Pomeranian Squire and
Inspector of dykes, he went out one day
snipe-shooting with friend, ON some
marshy land, into which his companion,
q stout, heavy man, suddenly sank up to
his arm-pits. Vainly struggling to extri-
cate himself, the gentleman shouted for
help, and seeing Herr Bismarck approach
him very slowly and cautiously, appar-
'eutly still looking out for the rising Of
some stray snipe, piteously appealed to
him to leave the COMPOUNDED snipe alone
and pull him out Of the abominable
swamp into which he had sunk so deeply
that its slime was almost in his mouth.
"My dear friend" replied Bismarck,
with the utmost calmness, ssyou will GER
tainly never get out of that hole No
body can possibly save you. 1t would,
however, pain me very much that you
should suffer unnecessarily by slowly
sitting in this vile swamp. III tell you
what, my dear fellow, III save you the
agony of suffocation by putting a charge
of shot into your head. Thus will you
DIE at once more swiftly and more re-
Speciality .Are you mad?" shrieked
the other, struggling desperately to free
himself. 81 don't want either to he
drowned or shot; SO help me out, in the
name Of three devils!' Deliberately
leveling his fowling- piece at his friend S
head, Herr Bismarck reioined, in a sor-
rowful tone: Keep steady for q mo-
ment; it will soon be over. Farewell,
dear friendl / will faithfully tell your
wife all about it. Stimulated to super
human effort by the eminent peril mem
acing him, the unlucky sportsman con-
rived to wriggle ont of the mud on all
forrs, and, when he had recovered his
feet, broke out in storm of vehement
reproach. Herr Bismarck listened to
him with sardonic smile, merely oisery-
ing: Cant yon see how right was,
after all? Every man for himselfi" and.
turning his back on his Infatuated com
panion, coolly walked away in search Of
more game.

Jules Verne is about fifty-two years
old, with fine, handsome head. Once
a blonde, he wears his beard fnll, and
lis hair is curled in n haphazard fashion.
His features are more than regular; they
are fine. His eye is bright, Of o clear
blue, brilliant, yet moist. His dominant
expression is sweetness, but firm sweet
ness, like rosy steel, which does not
bend. His mouth, which says such
charming and clever things, says ives
and mo" with the same smile. But
Eyes" or mo-" it is irrevccuble. a
Breton, of Nantes, Jules Verne has kept
the religious traditions Of Brittany, but
rather like painter, he preserves the
impressions of his travels, and like
child of the soil who would die for his
faith. He is at bottom more of n skep-
tic than ID Emery No ono wouldstand
up more bravely lJr doctrine, but no
one would, a moment after, make more
questionable speech. In politics il is
worse, fer he never voted in his life.
The son of lawyer. he came TO Paiis
to study law. His literary tastes led
him in another direction, but neverthe-
less he was admitted to the bar He
then became Secretary to NJ. Perrin, who
at that time had the double administra.
ton Of the Opera Comique and of the
Theater Lyrique. After this lie followed
the bent of his tastes more freely He
contributed q number Of articles to the
Musec des Families, and about this
time wrote o piece in one act, LES
Pailles Rompus, with which Alexandra
Dumas was connected, for it was he who
had it produced at the Theater His
tolique. and it was he who bought the
first copy after it WIS printed. After an
experience in the stock market, being
still in 10 with literature, Verne pub
lished his first book, Five Weeks III q
Balloon. 1t went of like hot cakes
though it was only trial. But the sue
cess was 50 great that it appeared to
Hctzel that here was a nav road to liter
allure which deserved to BE- followed up
He made an engagement with Verne for
twenty years, on what then appeared to
be splendid terms, but which have since
made the fortune of the lnc.sy editor
After the publication of Five Weeks III
q Balloon, he announced TO his friends,
one fine morning, that he was about to
get married, and then disappeared. 1t
was the only Sign OF life that has Vite las
ever given. Since then lie has led thu.
same lit of study, Of travel, aud of in
tarminable production. He passes his
life between Paris and Amiens, where
he has splendid house, when he
is not exploring somewhere or other %
his famous boat. the Saint Michel. on
which most of his stories are written.
AS for the rest. he is the most charming
man imaginable, modestly earning his
100. 900 francs year, to say nothing Of
the great fortune the stage seems to
promise him Paris Figaro.

Geneva and Its MATCHES.

Geneva. ike other cities. has its
specialties, and its first and greatest is
IT'S manufacture Of watches. The Geneva
watch has attained worldwide celeb
rjty, aud though probably no better
ihaiI those of American manufacture,
they are wonderfully fascinating, and it
is difficult to withstand the attractions
of their show windows. Their exhibi-
ton Of ladies' watches is eepecialy fine,
and their prices vary from so to as high
as you care to GO, and you are sure to
get il good article ii You pay for one.
Another speciality is music boxes, OF
which large quantities are sold every
year. There are several establishments
here which deal in them exclusively,
and they put them up in all sorts OF
shapes. There are musical chairs, which
surprise you w playing tune when
you SIT down on them, musical foot
stools, goblets and trinkets Of various
kinds, ranging IN price from So to
90 ,0a0, and even higher. Geneva has
almost monopoly Of these establish
