Then there was long pause. The

Senator shouted at the top of his lungs,

The devotion of the Countess of Rus

Up to her death in 1869, at So, four
years after her husband, she could read
without glasses, and talked with all

To the Northwest and the Far West

No highway of travel has received more
hattering notices from the public than the
Chicago, Milwaukee and St, Paul Railway,

the Northwest and the Far West. Whether

oils or Dakota, on the different branches of
this much-traveled thoroughfare, or even if
ones destination be to points still more re-
mote it presents. without doubt the great
est advantages to the traveller in his west
ward course. Apart from its excellent road.
bed, its fine coaches aad the grand scenery
through which it passes, its dining cars and
service are probably the most sumptous of
any railroad in the world. Indeed, the west
ern lines, and notably the Chicago, Milwau-
kee and St. Paul, fairly lead their eastern ri
walls in the matter of comforts administered to
their passengers. So that with statistics to
show ones life is safer in the average railway
train than when sitting in ones home or
when attending to ones legitimate business,
the traveller who places himself under the
guardianship of well regulated railway may
prosecute his journey with a feeling of Sc
curity and comfort as great as when reclining
in his armchair amid his own MyeS ct PenateS.

Flirting in New York.

1t is very difficult to Judge of wo-
mans station in life from her appear
ance on the street, says New York
correspondent. Ipresume this is the
reason why it is often asserted out of
town that New York ladies are con-
firmed flirts. The fact is that in no
city of America is there SO little street.
flirting by ladies as in New York.
Brooklyn is notorious for its flirting
women. 1t is considered quite the cor
rect thing, or, more properly, it is not
considered incorrect for a girl to have
an occasional Irritation in the street
there, but in New York it is frowned
down bitterly. There is no doubt that
in Brooklyn, and in many smaller
towns of similar characteristics, wo-
men and girls who are bored by lone
illness and the absence of any sort of
excitement occasionally, and 'just for
the lark of the thing" indulge in q
quiet street Irritation. There are many
cases where women of unexceptionable
character are led to the thing more
through excitement than viciousness or
an absence of moral stamina. But in
New York such thing is unknown. 1t
may be asserted, without particle of
doubt, that lady here never tlirts-in
the street. / don't know exactly who
is responsible for this. Perhaps it is
that the most picturesque and attract
i've men to be found in New York
streets are bunko men, card sharks,
adventures, and dissipated club men.
who live without visible means of sup
frharo sp IF
fashionable men who spend most of
their time on the public highways and
devote rs much of their attention as
they can spare from the arduous tolls
of business to the women who walk
, abroad. It does not take New York
girl long to find out that men of this
class are dangerous. She is never sure
who the man is who she brushes
against in the crowd. He may be a
bank burglar or Wall street broker.
She is liable TO find out if she pursues
Investigations little further, but she
is always afraid to take tho risk, and
therein is the safeguard.
1t will be observed that do not give
New York women credit for having II
higher moral standard than women of
any other city in the country. Such an
assumption would be grotesque, for
ladies here are no better off morally
than anywhere else in the country. But
their street manners are certainly vast
ly superior to those of the ladies of
other cities that 1 have ever visited.
This may be because they know the
danger they run and are proportion
ately careful, or 1t may be on account
of the firm conviction that street flirt-
ing is low and in execrable taste. When
l speak of ladies in connection with
this subject mean lady in the high
est sense of the term There are I'm
questionably lots of women who indulge
in Broadway firtations. When one
traces them up, however, they are al
ways found to belong to very low So
cial strata.

Does Anyone Know Her Manner

Few persons know that in the city of
Leadville, COL, there lives one Of the
most celebrated women of her day.
Men Mt fashionable watering-places
raved over her beauty and varied ac-
complishments. President Buchanan
is credited with saying: "The only
woman l ever loved well enough to
marry. God bless her." And that
little man of intellect, Alexander II.
Stephens: "The most beautiful, accom-
plished and thoroughly good woman l
ever knew. Worth her weight in dia-
monds." Colonel Dan McCook, the
evening before he was killed in battle,
said to q comrade: II feel sad to-
night; why. / cannot tell. Perhaps it
is my last night on earth. Twas think
ing of my old college days in Alabama
and the most attractive woman / ever
met Well, it is all past, we are both
married, but l wish she may never
know a sorrow" General Pat Gle
burns, having premonition of his
death, asked this lady to write his
obituary If he should fall in battle the
next day. The battle of Franklin and
Cleburne's death have passed to his
tory. The touching little poem that
came out in the Memphis AValanche
by this lady, and was SO extensively
copied in Southern papers, is still re-
membered:
Brave Cleburne is sleeping
Where night dews are weeping
And pale leaves are falling
Like gift gems around;
Where sad winds are signing
And sweet flowers dying
To mingle their breath
With the ashes they love, &c.
In 1860 the Prince of Wales and
suite were in St Louis. A lovely
young girl passed Barnum's Hotel.
"See! Look. my lordr' the prince ex-
claimed, addressing Lord Lyons, isn't
she exquisiteP'
For months touching little poems
were published in the Louisville Jour-
nal, and highly praised by its editor,
George ID. Prentice, who spoke of her
as a remarkable woman, full of genius.
Parepa-Rosa heard her voice and asked
her to sing. The great prima donna
threw up her hands in ecstasy, and ex-
claimed: MADAM, what q shame for
pride to keep that voice from the
world ~
This wonderful woman, with so many
gifts, has for fifteen years lived in quiet
retirement, forgetting and almost for
gotten by the world that once did her
such homage, in q perfect bower of

ly paintings and sculpture from her
own hands and from European mas
tiers.
One painting by Titan, an heirloom
from her husbands family, hangs on
the wall and is beyond value. Many
etchings, taken from southern Utah,
lie around. She has travelled for q
year in Utah, and relates many inter-
esting anecdotes of the Mormons. Her
husband is one of the most noted law
yers on the Western coast-a man of
great erudition, the son of ex-United

Alabama's most noted and beloved son.

in years gone by. A happy, model
