bow, and however beautiful, can no more
find favor in American eyes. 1t is for this
that England proposes to make another
venture, and send us another example of
her types of womanly beauty. Our
cousins Oh the other side are fairly warned
that in this case we shall credit nothing to
their taste and judgment until we shall
have seen and judged for ourselves. We
on this side the pond have become rather
skeptical of things over which John Bull
goes wild, be it beauty, art or talent, and
have on more than one occasion
very plainly manifested our lack of
concurrence with him in these matters
However, the new beauty will be judged
on her merits, and if she be found worthy,
America will find no difficulty ia produc-
ing dude to match her, who has more
money than brains. and more discretion
than the notorious Gebhardt. The new
candidate for favor in the tournament Of
loneliness is the widow of Alfred Maddox,
a London solicitor who has conveniently
taken himself off to the hereafter, and thus
left the new beauty with decided advsn-
tage over the husbanded Langtry. Like
the latter, however, she has taken to the
stage as profession, and like the latter.
too, she is no actress, and has no capacity
to become one, however much she may try.
She appeared as Lady Clancarty at the
Gaiety Theater, and by her signal failure
to cry help, help" after the conventional
manner, and as if she really vera in need
of knight to save her from great and inn
pending danger, she brought down the
house in screams of laughter. She next
easayed Alice Wenlock in Youth, d" and
again gave evidence of her incapacity.
According to the correspondent of the
Philadelphia Telegraph, her enc method of
expressing emotion is to squeeze the fore
finger of her left hand with her right very
hard, and then to wriggle her body as
if the Asiatic cholera really possessed her,
suggesting cramps rather than anguish.
But-and here is the popular feature
she is beautiful creature, before whom
even Helen of Troy would have to yield
the palm. She has large, dark eyes, that
are unspeakably expressive and beautiful !;
her profile is exquisite, the mold of her
form superb and ravishing and her smile
is as enchanting as the syren's song. She
is as graceful as fawp, and altogether a
splendid creature to look upon, and mar
velous beauty. So runs the tale, and as
half the world just now makes interest for
itself in the doings of the beauties of the
day, "the Maddox will probably GUST
from the public notice and the news dis
patches the fading Langtry, whose retiracy
from public gaze will be deemed a special
and merciful dispensation. In the mean
while we can only invoke the fates to save
us from the Maddox" as they did not
from the unblushing Langtry. The Asso-
ciated Press, having due notice of the adj
vent of the new English beauty within
the year, has ample time in which to pre-
pare nuzzles for the impressionable report
ers whose ideas of Occidental tastes
have been so sadly at fault ever since the
Lily arrived, and they began to ipfict us
daily at breakfast time with unutterable
twaddle about that notorious creature.

ANOTHER BEAUTY PROMISED.

England has discovered another beauty,
who is said to eclipse the Jersey Lily COM
pleteiy. It is to be hoped that she does,
since our expectations regarding that per-
sonage were raised to such pitch that
realization was sad disappointment. and
gave Americans very poor opinion OF
English taste. Nevertheless Mrs. Langtry
is handsome woman, and in the matter Of
complexion is probably the fairest seen in
America-at least SO say the critics. Bat
the Lily, by most immodest behavior, has
fallen from esteem, is despised by our
women, to whose verdict our men implicitly

BRAINS IN THE BRUTE CREATION. Caleb
Cope's COW, in Chester county, Pa, has
adopted two young lambs. A story comes
from New England of mouse which was
SO charmed by gentlemans singing that
it ran up to his shoulder and sat motionless
for few moments until the singing was
finished, then trembled violently, fell to
the floor, and died. A dove came upon the
premises of farmer of Amesbury, Mass,
about two years ago and associated itself
with the barnyard fowls, assuming their
habits, roaming with them through the
day and roosting with them at night. When
the fowls are confined the dove remains in
their Enclosure, although it might easily
fly away. A monkey was given lump of
sugar inside Of closed bottle. 1t worried
itself sick trying TO get at the sugar. Fits
of the most ludicrous melancholy alter
mated with spasms of delight, as q new
idea suggested itself, followed by fresh
series of experiments. Nothing availed
until one day jar of olives fell from the
table with crash. The result was noticed
by the monkey, VI no instantly hurled his
bottle to the floor, and was soon is posses
zion of the lump of sugar.-[New York

Why the method of education that pre-.

men would readily undertake to answer.
We are told that the purpose of education
is to prepare men for life, yet Mr.. Adams
was entirely right when he declared, at
the recent alumni; banquet at Harvard,
that such was not its result. In truth,
