FEMALE THUMBS.

The female thumb is said to be an i'm
portant index to the female character.
Women with large thumbs are held by
phrenoIogists physiognomists, etc, to be
more than ordinarily inteligent-what
are called sensible women; while women
with small thumbs are regarded as roman
tic According to certain authors, who
profess to have been observers, woman 5
hand is more indicative of a woman's
character than her face, as the latter is
to a certain extent, under the control of
temporary emotions, or OF the will, where
az, the former is a fact which exists for
any one who understands IL to profit by.
Women with square hands and small
thumbs are said to make good house
wives and gentle wives. This sort of wom-
en- will make any man happy who is
fortunate enough to win them. They are
not at all romantic, but they are what is
better. thoroughly domestic. Women with
long thumbs have tempers of their own,

hint in this to lover Let him, the first
time he seizes hold of his mistress hand,

her thumb, and il it be large, let him

comes married man, he will have to be
very, very careful. Again, ifa young man
find that his lady-love has a large ;,alm,
with cone,shaped fingers and a small

that case she is susceptible to tenderness,
easily Hattered, very easily talked into or
out of anything and readily managed.
But if she is woman with square hand,
well-propOrtioned, and only a tolerably de-
veloped thumb, then she is either one OF
two distinct classes of women-a practical
female who will stand no nonsense, or she
is a designing female-a woman who can
not be duped, or woman who will dupe

COMMON PHRASES.

The term blackguard has very com
mon place origin. In all great houses,
particularly in royal residences, there
were a number of mean and dirty de-
pendents, whose Office it was to attend
the wood RAIDS, sculleries, etc. Of these
for in the lowest depths there are lower
still-the most torlOrn wretches seem to
have been selected to carry coal to the
kitchen, halls and other apartments. To
the smutty regiment, who attended the
progresses and rode in the carts with the
kettles, which, with every other article Of
furniture. were then moved from pa ace
to palace, the people, in derisiOn, gave
the name "blackguards, q term since be
come sufficiently familiar. ITO the bit
ter end'' is clearly an old nautical ex-
preston. A dictionary. published in the
first part of the eighteenth century, has
"bite, turn or part Of q cable; "hitts,
the main piece OF timber to which a ca
BILE is fastened when ship rides at an
chor; bitter turn of the cable about
the timber called "bitts," that it may be
veered Out little by little; and "bitter
end (of cable) is that part which is
wound around the bits when a ship rides
at anchor. The modern expression "to
the bitter end may have taken its rise
from the OIL nautical words, as meaning
the last coil OF the fable, or from the last
end, the very "bitter" dregs. 1t is a
slang expression, another form Of Il will
fight you to the death" In it bitter only
means pitiless, severe, like q bitter east
wind, or q bitter foe

SENATORS OF rHEPAST AND OF
THE PRESENT.

We cannot let the C mmentS Of the New
York Commercial advertiser touching the
Senate pass without challenge. Itspeaks
of the Senators as pigmies compared with
the men who sat there few years ago.
The Senate to-day can probably take care
OF itself, and we shall not attempt its de
fense. But we remember very well that
the Senators who sat there few years
ago were also derided as pigmies as com
pared with the Senate which was then
mentioned as ''of lew years ago" We
should like to know what would be said
of a man who should rise in the Senate
to-day and declare that the natural rela-
tion between capital aad labor is that cap
ital should own labor? But if' Calhoun
did not teach that, he taught nothing
And was he not one of the canonized
giants? What would be said of Sena-
tor who should arise to-day in that BODY
and insist that the worlds business ought
to be transacted with specie? Yet if
Benton did not teach that, what did he
teach? What would be said of Senator
who should arise in his place and denounce
every Senator of the opposite party as a
blank -blanked lot of scoundrels? Yet a
prominent Senator did that in 1860. OF
course they were intellectual giants in
those days. But some of them did not
scruple to accept big fees from parties in
interest after making notable speeches in
the Senate Chamber Some never did
anything else but make speeches to the
galleries. Some OF the biggest of them
led dissolute lives, and shed anything but
sweet odors as they went along. The
Senate is not quite so stiff as it used to be,
but it will compare favorably with any
other for morals and decency, and while
it has no Clay, no Webster, no Calhoun,
no Seward, no Sumner, no Fessenden, no
Douglas and no Jefferson Davis, the cham
Der contains higher average of intel
lect to-day than it ever did when those
giants sat there and made history. We
doubt if the Senate ever had two better
business men in it than Edmunds and

IN DEATH NOT DIVIDED.

About ten years ago Jacob House
was obliged to take his bed at the resi-
dence of his son-in law, F. E. Olmstead,
on the island. There seemed to be an
entire collapse of his system, and the
old gentleman realized that dissolution
was not far distant His faithful wife
nursed him carefully; but the task was
too great for her and brought on a heart
trouble to which she4wa subject, so that
on Wednesday she was obliged to remain
in her bed, and Thursday afternoon she
died Last evening her husband followed
her. He was in his 10Th year, she in her
73d. For over ffty-two years they had
lived happily together, and had anticipat-
ed dying very close together lin fact, it was
often theme of conversation with them.
When Mr.. House was taken i'll, his chill
dren did not think that there was cause
for serious alarm, although be was very
feeble, but, after bis wife was taken i'll,
he appeared to sink faster, and seemed to
find a source of qualification in the fact
that she, with him, was near deaths
door. Before she was taken i'll, he re-
marked that he feared their anticipation
of dying together would not be realized.
Thursday he sent word to her, saying,
Good bye" After her death, he re-
fused to take any nourishmeDt or stimu-
liant, closing his lips against what wasof-
fered, although the physicians said that
had he taken them, he would probably
have rallied Wheeling( W. Va.) INTEL
