The Newport Beauty.

ny far the most beautiful girl in all
Newport (writes a lady correspondent
OF the Cincinnati Engatrgr) is a Boston
halr-dresser. About all the male admi-
ration IN the entire Casino Yesterday
was bestowed upon her, and she re-
ceiyed itwith the unconscious grace and
dignity Of an ideal duchess. Her father
was a bricklayer, an told, her mother
Washerw0man. and she herself ended
her schooI-days AT the aye Of Thirteen to
earn her own living. And mere she is,
bright-stinucd brunette, with biz,
melting black eyes, abundant lefty hair,
regular features, II tall, shapely, we'll
carried figure, and perfectly lady-like
manners. She works busily and quite
probably at home, but is now out for a
holiday, and when woman lofty sent
for her to come and dress her hair, mean
ing an insult, she wrote back; II regret
to say that it is impossible. | did not
leave my shop as long ago as YOU did
your sIaughter-honsc, but am for the
time being quite as far away from it,
The fact was that the woman had, more
than twenty years ago, been a practical
worker in the Boston pork-packing
house in which her husband founded his
fortune. While on this beautiful hair
dresser, let me describe her toilet, be-
cause it illustrates prevailing elabo-
rate style of afternoon costume at New
port. The material was iyorv-white
snrah shirred for quarter of a yard
from the waist downward in close gath
erS, 50 that it showed every action OF the
hips The fullness from the gathers
was arranged in plaits, which extended
to the edge Of the skirt, where they we're
met by a ga. Of white lace put on in CO.
DULLES. The bodice and panniers were
white nuns yelling, trimmed with lace
a small cape, made of row upon row of
Oriental lace, reached Just below the
shoulders. Her hat was completely
covered with the same lace garniture,
to the exclusion Of any other trimming,
and her white satin parasol had several
lace ruilles as bordering. Not touch
OF color was seen, and the effect was
that of just such simple elegance as
most of the fashionable Newport girls
strive after. The desire pervading all
female hearts here is to appear chaste.
artisticin short, arstocratic. The
model on which their eyes are fixed is
the excessively long-legged maiden,
with very small hands and feet, who is
so often seen in OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES and
prints; but such impediments as legs
too brief and handy, and No. hands
and feet interfere with the realization.
| have in mind certain New York fam
lily, descended straight from an original
Dutch settler, and who are convinced
that their blood is loftily pure. Well,
their hands are like the hands of Provi-
dence for breadth, and their feet would
crowd each other if they undertook to
pursue the narrow way. But here is
that Boston hair-dresser, hardly out Of
parental mortar and suds, with the slim,
taper fingers and arched insteps of
Lady Genevieve Montmorency. Her
hair, by the way, fell low in the neck in
a coil, and over the forehead in loose
curls. That is the predominating style
OF hair-dressng, though braids may be
substituted for the coils and fiat rings
for the curls.

Sleep and Cleanliness of Ants.

It is probable that all ants enjoy Pc
.iods of true slumbe. alternating with
slose of activity but actual observe
hons on this subject have only been
made in the case of two or three species.
DR.. McCook says that the harvesting
ants of Texas sleep SO soundly that they
may be pretty severely stroked with
leather without being aroused but they
are Immediately awakened by a eharp
tap. On awakening they often stretch
their limbs in manner precisely re-
sembling that OF warm-blooded animals,
and even yawn--the latter act being
"very like that Of the human animal;
the mandibles are thrown open with the
peculiar muscular strain which ls ia
miliar 70 all readers; the tongue is ALSO
some times thrust out" The ordinary
duration of sleep il this species is about
three hours. Invariably on awakening,
lnd often ct other times, the ants per-
lorm, like many other insects, elaborate
processes Of washing and brushing. But,
unlike other insects, ants assist one
another in the performance Of their
toilet.
The author just quoted describes the
whole process IN the 6 nus Alta. Tue

Almost as wonderful as Hannibal's
victories over nature or his enemies,
were his victories over his own followers.
Under the spell of his genius, the dis
cordant members of q motley Cartha-
ginian army-disaffected Libyans and
Numidians, barbarous and lethargic
SpaJuards, fierce and tickle Gauls-were
welded into homogeneous whole, which
combined the utmost play of individual
prowess with all the precision of q ma
chine. No whisper of diaafeotion or Of
mutiny was ever heard in Hannibals
camp. Italians deserted by thousands
to Hannibal but no Hannibalian vet
eran, even when his star was on it's wane,
ever deserted to Rome. Politic as he
was brave, and generous as he was far
sighted, Hannibal could arouse alike the
love and the fear, the calm confidence
aud the passionate enthusiasm of all the
various races who served under his
standard. The hest General, high au-
thority has said, is he who makes the
fewest mistakes; but what single mistake
can the keenest critic point out which
marred the progress or checkered the
success of these three first extraordinary
years? They are years, moreover, any
one of which might have made ormarred
the reputation Of any lesser General.
Unfortunately we know Hannibal only
through his enonlies. They have done
their best to malign his char0cter; they
have called him cruel. and happily every
specific charge OF cruelty supplies us,
even with our imperfect knowledge
with the materials for it's own refutation.
They talked of "Punic iil-faith" till they
came themselves to believe in its exist
ence, or to think thot the name proved
itself. We know Hannibal,
let us repeat it once more, only from his
enemies but in what character, even as
painted by his friends, can we discern
such vivid and such unmistakable marks
of greatness? The outline is command
ing, imperial, heroic; and there is no
detail with which cur materials enable
us to fill it in at all, which is not IN per-
feet harmony with the whole.-Ronae
and Carthage.

A Fearful Visitor.

The bane OF the beautiful island of
Martinique is q serpent called the g iron
lance" This reptile, with venomous
taste, chooses the coolest and most de-
ligbtful places in the garden for his re-
treat. and il is literally at the risk of
one's life to lie down on the grass, or
even to take rest in an arbor. The
wounds inflicted by these serpcnts are
very apt to be fatal unless Immediately
cared for. The whole island is infested
with this dangerous reptile, and it is
said that on an average nearly 800 per-
soas are bitten every year, of which
number from sixty to seventy cases
prove fatal, while many others result in
nervous di..eases which are almost as
bad as death. A few years ago, when
Prince Arthur OF England visited this
island, a grand fete was given in his
honor in the Jardin dies Plantes. In the
evening the grounds were brilliantly
Illuminated, and thousands of people
sanntercd through its cool and shady
avenues. A large number were bitten
by the iron lance" and many of them
never recovered from the effects of the
poison. The fondness of this terrible
reptile for cool and shady places is a Sc
rious drawback ON the pleasure of ram
bling through the charming groves of
Martinique. A rest on the grass under
the shadow of some spreading tree is al
ways haunted by the dread Of unseen
dangers, and one cannot even cross a
field without exercising extreme caution.

Dumas Generosity.

The son, then lad of Is or 80, met a
friend on the boulevards. They had not
seen ench other for some time, and Du-
mos suggested that they should dine to-
gether. "It's far from home" he OBJ
served, "bus I've just Is francs in
my pocket. and l dare say we can man
age pretty we'll on that" AS q matter
of fact, there are restaurants in Paris
where you may get pretty little dinner
for two, and sound bottle of wine into
the bargain, for that sum. Still it Is
rather tight fit, and great was the Joy
OF Dumas when they bad proceeded a
few PAGES to behold his father
ou the other side Of the street.
"Wait moment" he exclaimed to his
companion. "I'll run across and get
aome money from him." The friend be-
held him in earnest conversation for
three minutes, then Dumas the younger
returned, looking rather crestfallen.
"Weil, has he paid up?" emo; and,
what's worse, he's gone and borrowed
my Is francs. I'm afraid there's
nothing left for it but to go home" To
do the papa Justice. he was extremely
generous with his money when he had
any. He loved to change his notes into
gold and pour the coins into wooden
bowl which lay o., lis wrting-desk.
Everybody who came to ask for coin
was then bidder 10 help himself. - Lofi-
