Charles Reade's True Woman.

Walter Beeant in The Genteman's Magazine.
Reade. in fact. invented the True Woman.
That is to say, he was the first who found her.
There have been plenty Of sweet and charming
women in stories-the patient, loving Amelia;
the bouncing country girl, Sophy Western; the
dummies of Dickens; the insipid sweetness of
Thackeray; the proper middle class Cor upper
class) girl of TrOllOpe; the conventional girl of
the better lady novelists. There have also been
disagreeable girls. especially the bad-style,
detestable girl fof the 'worser' lady novelists;
but Reade-the tyOss6ere-has found the real
woman You will meet her on every page of all
his novels What Is she? My friends. Column
bus egg was not simpler. She is just exactly
like a man, like ourselves, but with certain
desires love- She knows that it is the best-the
absolutely best-thing the world has to give;
that we are all born For lOve-man and woman
alike; that to lack this cOnsummate and su-
preme blessing is to lose the best part of life
Since she desires above all things to be wooed
and is forbidden to WOO on her own account
she conceals her own thoughts, yet. from her
own experience in hiding, she is quick at read
ing the thoughts Of others She is satisfied
with nothing less than what she herself gives,
the lower natures, toideceit and falsehood. Her
devotion, which is part of her nature, leads
her-alsO in the lower natures-tO suspicion and
jealousy She is always in the house, and
therefore her mind is apt to run in narrow
grooves. The prodigality and wastefulness of
men are things beyond her understanding or
patience. She is IMMERSED in affairs, and there
fore comprebends nothing of compromise. She
is generally ill-educated, and therefore is in
capable of forming Judgment; hence she is
carried away by every wind of doctrine; as,
for instance. in matters ecclesiastical,
knowing nothing Of the early church or it's his
tory, she believes the poor little Rtualist curate,
who knows, indeed, no more than herself; or In
art where for want anS S she is led
worships sad-faced flatness with rapture; or in
dress, where, her taste being uncultiyated, she
puts on whatever is most hideous and unbecom-
ing, provided it is worn by everybody else.
This is the woman whom Charles Reade pre-
sents to us; she is not, at all events inspid; no
real women are; if she Is artificial, he shows the
real woman beneath. What he loves most is the
woman whom fashion has not spoiled; the true,
genuine woman, with her natural passion, her
jealousy, her devotion, her love of admiration,
her fidelity. her righteous wrath, her maternal
ferocity, her narrow faith, her shrewdness, even
her andacity Of falseho0d when that can serve
her purpose, and her perfect abnegation Of sell.

OF Varied Stature.

The story is told of well-known politician OF
this city, who had the misfortune to have one OF
his legs shorter than the other. He would never
carry a crutch. and his friends often wondered
how he could get along SO well without one.
One evening, feeling rather thirsty, he presented
himself at the bar of the fremont house. pre-
sided over at the time by William Pitcher. Rest
ing on his short leg, he ordered his drink, and
while it was being prepared shifted the weight
of his body to the long one, thus increasing the
height several inches. Shortly after, having
finished his labor with spoon and bottle, Pitcher
placed the delicious beverage which he had been
concOcting upon the counter, and, with bewil-
dered look on his genial countenance asked:
'sWhere in thunder is the little fellow that Or
dered this drink?"-Helena Herald.

The Girl with the Sun.Rurned Nose
From the Fhiladelphia Times.

The Girl with the Sun.Rurned Nose.
From the Philadelphia Times.
To many women there is something horribly
coarse and vulgar in the sight of red nose.
There are various sources of red noses. "Nut-
megs and cinnamon, spice and cloves" are, &C.
cOrding to Mrs. Goose, the cause of the '.jOlly
red nose" immortalized in her poetry. Some
red noses owe their redness to excess of stimu-
lants, taken either publicly at the dinner table
or privately from the bottle in the closet. Some
noses are red from tight lacing. it is said, al
though no woman will admit that she ever
laced more tightly than was consistent with
comfort.
The sun-burned nose is different In its charac-
ter well it's origin from the nose of the tip
pier or the victim of hght-lacing. Whatever
may be its dement's as an object Of beauty it is
honestly acquired in the cause of health and
good living. 1t comes from exposure to the
fresh air and sunshine from rowing boats, sail
ing yachts, catching crabs and bathing in the
surf 1t tells Of expanded chests, joints linn
bered by hearty exercise, and muscles brought
into healthy action by judicious use. It shows a
girl not so much devoted to the Vaccinations of
the ballroom as to the delights Of active amuse-
ment in the open sunlight; not led by blind ad-
herence to fashion so much as by q real love for
the life which quickens dull circulation into
sprightly activity, and which calls forth into Wig
orous development the latent power of every
muscle.
There are women who, when they 60 to battle
In the surf, cover their faces with queer-looking

It is often remarked as an anomaly

Commencement" is an Amerioanism,

originating many years ago among Yam

young With a shrewd business
they determined that the then growing
practice of distributing premiums might
with advantage be adopted at the be-

years when the former custom was re-

name, and this piece of Yankee ingeu-
is the real reason for the peculiar
term in question.

WILL 1T BIZ 4 HOLY WAR:

The appalling news from Egypt Of
the deliberate burning OF the second
commercial city Of the Levant, Of the
massacre Of lis whole Christian popula-
ton and 0: the preparations Of Arab
and his followers for further desperate
enterprises, leads the rather sensational
New York Herald TO speculate upon
the possibility that the Egyptian ques-
ton" may be the prelude Of a ''holy
war;" the Ike OF which has not hap
pened since the C~rusades.
OF all the Christian countries TO be
affected by such a war England, whose
guns perhaps have opened at Alexan-
dria, has the most critical consequences
to apprshsnd from it to her power and
her people. The Empress Of India
counts more disciples Of Islam among
her subjects than any other monarch
On the globe. Forty million Moham-
medans may not remain tranquil under
her Christian sway il the heirs Of the
authority Of the Prophet summon them
to make common cause against the In
fde!.
For this reason a policy is forced
upon England to spare no endeavor to
narrow the disturbance and restrict it
to political limits, eliminating from it
the elements OF religious fanaticism, or,
if that cannot be done, to crush those
elements by an overwhelming force be-
fore the whole Mohammedan world
catches fire from the Egyptian spark.
The reports Of the reception Of the
tidings Of the fire and massacre Of
Alexandria at Constantinople are too
scanty to warrant an assertion OF the
effect Of the conference Of the ministers
Of the great European Powers which
is there in session. But it is clear
enough by inference that it must be Eng
lish policy to strain every exertion TO
procure the cooperation Of Turkey in her
further proceedings against the Egypt
ians; and it is also clear enough that in
such a field of diplomacy there are Pow
ers which are interested to counteract
her efforts.

ceiging political contributions from Office

the Circuit Court holds that it is consti-
~tutional. On this point, however, Mr..
