ChihuaI,uan Women.

chihuahua is innocent of sidewalks.
Mud is scarcely known, as rain falls
only sufficiently to moisten the ground,
except in the month of June, when, as
ii to make up for its feebleness at other
times, it almost deluges the town, fall
ing to the depth of thirteen or fourteen
inches. 1t rushes down the mountains
in torrent, floating off carts, barrels,
chairs and chicken-coops, if the latter
are sufficiently modern to be made Of
wood. The coops are usually made of
mud and stone, hastily thrown to-
gether.
The Mexican women are wonderfully
graceful. This is partly due to the
manner of carrying baskets or bundles,
begun in early childhood. Watched a
Mexican girl carry an immense basket
of clothes home to be laundried: First
she selected from the basket towel,
and twisting it tightly wound it round
and round until the circumference was
the size of her head, on which she
placed it; then, helped by u companion,
She lifted the basket, weighing at least
thirty pounds, on top of the roll. She
balanced it bv touching it lightly, first
with one hand and then the other. At
ter she had gone a short distance she
folded her hands in her shawl walking
with the greatest ease and uncon-
sciousness. She looked back smilingly
at me, showing her pretty white teeth,
still amused at sonora, who thought
her task difficult. Whee,in Register.

NiIpoieOn's saVagci'y.

Madame de Bourrienne. speaking OF
the character of Bonapaate, rs it dis
played Itself in the early part of his
career, says:
His smile was hypocritical and Of
ten misplaced. A few days after his
return from Toulon, he was telling us
that. being before that place, where he
commanded the artillery during the
siege. one of his officers was visited by
his wife, to whom he had been but a
short time married, and whom he ten
DERBY loved. A few days after, orders
were given for another attack upon the
town, in which this officer was engag-
ed. His wife came to Gen. Bonaparte,
and, with tears in her eyes, entreated
him to dispense with her husbands
services during that day. The general
was memorable, as he himself told us,
with sort of savage exultation. The
moment of the attack, the officer,
though q very brave man, as Bonaparte
himself assured us, felt a presentiment
of his approaching death. He turned
pale and trembled. He was. stationed
beside the general, and, during an in
teryal, when the firing from the town
was very strong, Bonaparte called out
TO him, Take care, there is a bomb
shell comingr The officer, instead of
moving to one side, stopped down, and
was literally severed in two. Bonaparte
laughed loudly, while he described the
event with horrible minuteness.

When q Man GROWS Old.

When man grows old most pleas
ures, indeed, properly so called. are
dead to him; and if, in spite of natures
warning. he will still pursue them, his
experience is tie reverse of that OF
Don Juan, who, instead of a spirit,
found ..her frolic grace Fitz Fulke;" he
finds them the mere ghosts of his dead
follies. There is nothing, for example.
more pitia5le than any pretensions to
gallantry in an old man. Let him
adopt the role of 'heavy father" ''be-
nevolent uncle" or whatever best
suits his character, but ut all events
discard that of clover once for all.
The only possible ground for his re-
tanning it would be that his doing so
affords amusement to his fellow Great
ures, at the expense. however, OF all
who wear gray hair. There is another
pleasure Just as inappropriate, but to
which old aye is much more Inclined
that of money getting. 1t has been
said of it, as of whist, that it is the only
pleasure that lasts. 1t may be so--for
unfortunately have never been in a
position to test it--but certainly, to the
looker-on. nothing can be more con-
temptible than this piling up heaps of
money upon the verge of the grave. If,
as the wit suggested, one could "begin
the next world with il" then, indeed,
such solicitude would be applicable
enough. How little would people then
leave behind them! How small would
be the probate duties! How rare the
requests to missionary enterprise! But
since it must all be left. and that so
soon, how amazing is the satisfaction
derived from its increased! There is an
idea among the baser sort of wealthy
persons that the more money they can
hoard the more respected" they are;
but as matter of fact they are the
more detested for it. "How much have
we lived worth?" not '.How much shall
we die worthp" is the question. Corn

Dressing a Man.

Talk about women taking time to
dress and the multiplicity and intrica-
cics of their coStuming! Whatever civ
iiization may have imposed upon them
it is but a shadow of the modern rami-
iications of male attire. A Commercial
Gagette reporter, whose cuticle absorb
ed the frieidity of fourth-story back
during the recent cold snap, found that
his habilaments quite exhausted his
arithmetic as we'll as his patience. To
the chattcring accompaniment of his

81 buttons, spring catches and two

incidents to his attire. Altogether 80
pieces of clothing and 67 incidental

separate attentions to which he had to
devote his time. Give fifteen seconds
TO each-which is not more than a fair
average-and there are twenty-four
minutes spent in covering the person
according to the conventional usage.
Add to this cravat tying, scarf PIN in
