Greenwich or Washington (! (Though,
evidently the local critic never heard OF
the meridian OF Washington). 1t is
certainly a shame that effete Germany
and degenerate France and decaying
Austria and insignificant Russia should
have anything to say in such matter.
Three big mistakes have been made !;
FIRST, that the congress has been called
second, that the foreign Office should
take any money from the fund for use

so vile use as the encouragement OF

able-bodied editorial writers OF the

Seriously, however, there is one grave
objection TO the commission-ln this we
cordially agree with the Gazette we
cannot afford the luxury; for ii is a
luxury We are confident that Pro
feSsor Alexander will return with a
fund OF valuable information He in
formed the writer OF his intention to
visit the principal survey offices of the
principal eastern cities, and al who
know him know that the country will
be the gamer by his observations. But
all the same we could not afford it.
However, while unqualifedly abusing
this particular mote it may be as well
to recall a few OF the beams in the In
dependent optic.

Diplomatic privilege has not often
been strained in a more singular, not
to say audacious, fashion than in this
case reported from Brazil. AEuropean
charge d AFFAIRS wooed and won
wealthy young heiress. But when the
marriage contract came to be mooted
the prospective bridegroom demanded
that the lady's money should be settled
upon him, while her friends insisted that
il should go to her and her children.
Neither side being willing to yield the
engagement was broken of, and the
baffled diplomat returned to his own
land, leaving his inamoyata not dis
pleased to escaped the tolls OF fortune
hunter. But she reckoned without her
host, for she was soon served with
formal demand through the gentleman's
legation for fulflment OF the contract.
Whether this implies that the thrifty
wooer's country will declare war against
Brazil, in the event Of a refusal, or
merely pre-supposes an appeal to the
courts, it certainly savors more Of di-
plonacy than g.'lantry.

George Augustus Sala, in the Illustrated

unnatural craving for notoriety OF vulgar osten.

which ultimately became Fashion. Unfor,u.
nately for the dress-hygies,s, fashion is, and
has been in all ages mystery. 1t is like fan.
cy. No one can tell with precision whether
it is bred in the heart or in the head. It
comes no man knows whence and departs and
no man can tell why or whittier. The only
certain,ies about the fashions are that at inegu.
lar periods and in modified form they will re.
cur over and over again, and tina, so long as
communities are wealthy the dress Of women
will be exceedingly costly"
