Bourbons of the South persuaded tho

Cleveland. as they would by so doing
turn loose upon the poor negro the
blood thirsty DOurbOns. lie passed

nothing but TRADE of-abuse hcaped

amusing and yet disgusting to hea

Homely Girls Make Good Wives.

"Why are homely girls always the
best scholars, the best workers and
make the best wives" This qucs-
ton was propounded, says the De-
troit times, by an observant and in
telligcnt gentleman, who has been
twice led to the hymenial altar and
is ready to be sacrificed again.
SIS such really the case ?"
II have reason to know that it is.
1t is natural enough, isn't it? The
girl who is handsome in feature and
form concludes very early in life that
these are her stock in trade and with
them she enters the matrimonial
market. Nine times out of ten she
is soon ofl'the hooks and at the head
of house. Her homely sister has
scarcely entered the teens until she
discovers she is made to stand a side
for the prctty-faced girls. All that
neatness of dress, elegance of man
ners and proficiency in the arts Of
making ones self attractive she does,
deliberately and for a purpose, per.
haps, or possibly for no other reason
than, Topsylike, she grew that way.
"The chances are she does it solely
for the purpose of compromising fol
her lack of physical beauty"
"My observations lead directly
TO the opposite conclusions replied
the intelligent observer. "There il
among the great laws of nature on'
known as the law of compensation

| WASHINGTON, March Is. - Secretary
Chandler has written a letter to Repre-
sentative Cox. chairman of the Com
mittee on Naval Affairs, strongly Oppos-
ing n second investigation into the
Jeanette Arctic expedition. He says
the friends of jerome COllius had every
| opportunity before tho court of inquiry
| to ascertain the facts in the case, and
| that, III his opinion, the proposed re-
| opening of the CASE is highly inexpedi-
ent, and that it would be pitiless sac
rilege to again tear open the graves of
calling public attention to what the
court of inquiry correctly termed
trivial difficulties" such as occur on
shipboard even under the most favor
able circumstances. and which had no
iniluence III bringing about the disaster
to the expedition, and had no per-
nicious effect upon its general conduct.

The Presiden; today transmitted to

Lincoln and Chandler. opposing the
proposition to offer reward for the dis
cOvery and relief of Lieut.. Greedy
party 10y private enterprise. They think
it would be unadv isable to offer an in
cen,ive to inadequately prepared private
parties, when the Government expsdi-
ton is thoroughly equipped. Another
reason urged against the proposition is
that the Government, by inviting such
90 operation, assumes a certain respon-
sibility towards those whom it thus in
duces to enter on the hazardous enter
prise. and its offers Of today may lead
to a necessity for further expeditions
for the relief or rescue of the Greedy
party.

The London Medical Times OF the
29th of March contains the following
account of a unique lusus nature OF
Kittifonian growth
"Dr. w. j. Branch, of Basseterre.
ST. Kits, has sent us a photograph
(which we regret not to be able to

large teeth in his nose. "lt IS not
easy" writes DR.. Branch, ITO get a
good picture of him, because he seem
ed to think that the Gamers was meant
not to take, but to take off, his head:
His Iip was held up to slow that all
the incisor milk teeth are in their ma
tural situations. A portion of his
nose has been destroyed by ulcera-
ton. It was for this disease that he
was sent to the hospital. It soon
healed with the application of idoform
ointment, and the administration OF
iodide of potassium. [ intended to

while waiting to make sure OF the
cure of the ulcer, these teeth began to

make their appearance. They seem
to be the two central incisors OF the
permanent set. They spring from
the floor Of the nos.rils at the side of
the bony septum, are freely movable
and are apparently attached to the
mucous membrane, only. They
have little or no roots, but their
crowns are very large, white and solid.

the first port in the West Indies to
which the American steamers come.
Land in st. kits is more valuable
and better cultivated than in Antigua,
which is even behind Nevis in The
latter respect. II is evident also Il at
many of the officials prefer this island,
and would Ike to live in it. Let us
remember that st. Kits is the mother,
colony OF the Lesser Antilles. On
Sir Thomas Warmers tomb in Middle
Island church yard it is written,
though to our shame be it said in let
tiers scarcely Iegible, that he had been
the Captain General of the Caribbee
Islands. Let the Antiguans likewise
recollect that the first settlement in
their country was made by a brnd of
Kittifonian colonists, though it is
true that they very soon had to aban-
don a place so miserable in compari-
4on with that they had left.
hat a difference the prospect of
having the seat of Government trans
ferred back to our island makes, or
ought to make, in our view Of the
recommendations contained in this
Report1 The immense material adj
vuntages are so evident that it is quite
needless to enumerate them to sensi-
bic men. We appeal at once TO the
still more intelligent ladies, and hum

tie situation. Instead Of "a Magis-
trate with $500 year, a Governors

The Antieuans have had it all their
own way ever so lon., while we have
been obliged to be conten ed with
such Of their leavings as they chose
TO throw down to us. Perhaps, if
81. kits waited patiently for a few
more decades, Antigua, would, judg-
ing by the census-papers, be depopu-
lated and again abandoned, but II is
high time that we, the 1T, kits pco-
pie of to-day, had our tu'n at once at
the top of the tree. We can beat the
Antigunns at almost everything from
sugar to cricket, and we ought TO be
