Beautiful Hands.

The craze has been revived among profes
Siona and fashionable beauties upon whom
nature has bestowed that rarest of all her
gifts, a shapely hand and graceful wrist, of
having them modelled in the finest Carrara
marble, and presenting them TO lovers and
friends as souvenirs less readily recognizable
by the crowd than photographs, and yet
more wildly suggestive to those who are ia
miliar with the nervous grasp or "velvet
touch" of the living hand they represent.
In the great Viennesc Exhibition Of 1873
there was to he seen an exquisite reproduc-
ton of the left hand of the Princess Pauline
Bonaparte, of whom it was said by soulptors
and critics that from the crown of her head
to the sole of her foot no flaw or Flemish
could be found, and who had so large q
charity for those who should he born too late
to see the full perfection of her charms that
she allowed herself TO be modelled and
painted i'll every conceivable costume and
| attitude, and most frequently in no costume
| at all, eXactng only that the studio in which
she sat should be well warmed and
| thoroughly protected against draughts. The
| marble band we speak of, however, might
| have belonged to Roman matron or Puritan
| maiden, SO suggestive was it of gentle and re.
| fined womanhood. The work was attributed to

the fair ones of the present day

to revive this most lasting and beautiful
method of perpetuating one of their creates,

their most sincere adorers would never wish
TO see copied or produced which in
England are malciously termed mutton fists
and of which the fingers look as if an Indians

doubly anxious to have their digital perfec

gives Comptroller Pattison A." big boost" as
being the son of an itucrant Methodist
preacher. whose family were ON intimate
terms with the Townsend family, Georges
father being also Methodist preacher.
Referring To Pattison, "Gath " says:
''The nominee of the Democrats for Gov-
ernor of Pennsylvania was, when | last

years. His father was poor Methodist
preacher, of II large, handsome presence,
looking something like the late Chief Justice
Chase. His sincerity and beauty attracted
a Miss Woolford, of Somerset County, Md. =,
who came OF an old colonial family there,
members of which sat in the Maryland Log
sluture in the time of Charles ii. Almost
the only strangers of address and expert
cnce to travel in the Eastern Shore of Mary
land have been these tinerant clcrgymen of
Wesleys order, and they frequently got the
pick OF the wives, If not in worldly goods,
in virtue and sense.
" To marry Methodist preacher on the
Eastern Shore is pretty much the same as to
marry Judge on the bench. In no other
way would many of the wives aud children
there be called to live in any larger world
and find more general career. II is the
ambition of all these Maryland clergy be-
longing to the Methodist Church North, of
the Philadelphia Conference, to he sent to
Philadelphia as pastors. Philadelphia at

chairman Cooper says OF Robert PattiSon
that Pennsylvania will never hatch ont q
Maryland egg. The emigration
from the Maryland Peninsula to Pennsylvania
has been going ON since Penn acquired his
prominence, fifty years subsequent to the
planting Of Maryland. First, tho Quakrrs

Charles Carroll Of Carrollton, and Gen. John
Eager Howard. The Marylanders carried

That April morning stood

The giadness OF the day;
No cloud was on the April sky,

youth offered to bet anybody present
fifty dollars that he and his betrothed
would kiss one another 10. 600 times
within ten honrs. provided they were
permitted to partake of some slight
refrt shmeDis at intervals of half an
hour during the performance.
His wager having been accepted,
the nffianced couple addressed li,,in
selves TO the achievement If their
task. At the expiration of the first
hour their account stood credited
with 1000 kisses. During the second
they added another thousand. aud
lnring the third $50 to that number
Then they both broke down. The
