How French Women Rathe.

From Chambers Journal
Here is q lady habited in scarlet, dainty shoes
and stockings to match, and bewitching cap
(none Of your hideous Oil skin), with falling lace
and telling little bows of ribbon. Here another.
clad in pale blue, with a becoming hat tied
under her chin, and many bangles on her wrists
The shoes alone are marvel. How do all these
intricate knots and lacings. these glancing
buckles, survive the rough and sportive usage
of the waves? Who but our Gallo sisters could
imagine those delicate blendings Of dark blue
and silver, crimson and brown, those strange
stripes and esthetic olives and drabs The cos
tune of the gentlemen is necessarily less va
ried. though here and there one notices an &C.
centric harlequin, easily distingushable among
the crowd, and, again. what Englishman would
dream Of taking his morning dip with ruff round
his neck, q silken girdle and a hat to save his
complexion from the sun? Two amiable per-
sons, dressed in imitation OF the British tar,
Obligingy spent the greater part OF the day In
the sea. Their business Is to conduct tilnid Ia
dies from the beach and to assist them i'm their
bath. The Drawer spirits allow themselves to be
plunged under the brine; the more fearful are
content to be sprinkled delicately from q tin
basin. There is also a rover, whose little boat,
furnished with life-saving appliances, plies up
and down among the crowd, lest one, more ven
turesome than his neighbOrs, should pass be-
yOnd his depth-an almost impossible event, as
one might say, seeing with what fOndness even
the bOldest swimmer clings TO the shore.

Stay.at.RHONleS,

SO you had your summer vacation
AT the Sea-Side-waSn't 1t cold?
Yes-well, was telling Maria
'TwaSn't nice and 1t made her scold:
/ knew she had laceS and muslins
All ready to make a show,
And she-well, she cried; but suppoSing
Slid gone and half frozen, you knowI
rvc stuck to this back piazza
Ali summer, SO far, and guess
I've been about as contented
AS any one-though confess
Neither nor Maria have rugged up
For company, more than you see,
But when you come tot, there's no place
Like home, as q land OF the free.
We know where to look for the children
When dinner Is ready, or lunch,
And don't have to wash 'em and comb 'em,
And dress 'em, all In bunch;
II they want TO take pie or doughnut
And eat IL on the back stair,
No landlord or servant can tell em
To run OF you mustn't stay there!"
We haven't been pestered with callers;
We haven't been bothered with flies;
We snap our thumbs at the doctor
And know what gees into our pies;
so you see there arc some cOmpenSatfOn9
For the people who can't get away
Say-why can't you come round and see us?
You'll ind us at home, any day.

RECENT MORGANATIC MATCHES.
Some OF the comparatively recent morganatic
marriages of royalty are worth notice for the
spice of romance in them. For instance, the
| famous Archduke John Of Austria was, in Janu-
| airy, 1897. taking solitary excursion through
the mountains, and stopped at the little
village of Aussee to get carriage to take
him over the hills. He was directed to the
but, arriving there, found the head of the
house away, and no conveyance available but q
twO-Vheeled cart The postmasters daughter
Anna, sprightly damsel of II, supposing the
stranger to be pilgrim, volunteered to drive
him to his destination. So they set out, the
prince silent and preOccupied as was his wont,
the young girl chatting and singing all the way.
She was said not to be beautiful but very at
tractive. and it was evident that the prince ap-
preciated her attractiveness At parting he shook
her hand warmly, with many kind wishes. and
the next day. to her great amazement, ap-
peared again at Aussee Here he made three
days visit, and at its close asked the pOstmas-
ter tor his daughter. The Old gentleman natu-
rally wanted to know who and what this eager
suiter was. but when he announced himself as
"John, archduke, late field marshal. but now
out of employment" he was angrily hidden to
take himself and his lies elsewhere. So the
prince had TO brlng some one to identity him,
and so far placated the father that In Just three
weeks after that eventful ride he welded the
sprightly Anna and carried her to Vienna to pre-
sent to the king and queen. He gave her titles
and castles and a magnificent income. and al
ways treated her as his full consort. She bore
him several sons, and it is just within the bounds
of possibility that descendant of this humble
peasant girl may some day sit on the throne of
the Hapsburgs.

The general good sense displayed by
the colored citizens who met at Pitts
burgh was particularly conspicuous IN
the refusal OF the conference to make
itself over to the Republican party. The
negroes OF the North are beginning TO
see clearly and to say boldly that the
alleged debt of gratitude due by their
race to the Republican party does not
amount to political vassalage forever.
Every such declaration Of independent
manhood is a good sign, for it marks the
progress of our colored fellow citizens
toward a correct understanding OF Amer
lean principles. There are forms OF
slavery besides that from which the
negroes were emancipated 81 years ago.
There are shackles not Of iron, and whip
lashes of other than the plantation type.
Let us look, says the New York Sun,
at a few of the Northern States which,
together, are indispensable to the success
of the Republican party in a Presidential
election. In Connecticut there were,
four years ago, 1888 colored males of the
voting age. It is within bounds to put
the present colored vote Of Connecticut
by only 1855 votes.
Indiana is a very close State. By the
last census the number of negroes there
over 81 years of age was 10, 739. The
transfer of this political strength from
one side to the other means q change OF
q, 200 votes in the result. Garfield car
ried Indiana by only 6,642.
Illinois has been steadily Republican.
The negroes Of voting age in that State
number 1866. Garield's majority was
ID, 1852. Had 1900 colored citizens OF
Illinois transferred their allegiance to the
Democratic party, Illinois would have
been lost to the Republicans.
The State of Pennsylvania contained
%, 1872 negroes with votes. Gar6eld's
majority was 14,625. 1t was in the
w of less than one.third of the Re-
publican negroes Of Pennsylvania to
give that State to Hancock by united
action against the party which loves
them only just before election day.
Gen. Garfield's own State (Ohioj gave
him q majority of but 25, l55. The
census assigns 81, 7O6 possible colored
votes to Ohio. Less than $1,000 Of
these votes would have given the State
to the Democrats.
New York had in 1880 a colored
population including 20,059 males OF
the age for citizenship. Garield's ma
iority was 1892.
We commend these significant fig
ures to our colored friends for careful
consideration. Here are six Northern
States, with 1872 electoral votes out of
the total of 40l in the college, all car
ried four years ago for the Republican
candidate solely by the negro vote. The
time has come around again when the
party which assumes to own the negro
and his ballot rewards him for the past
and entreats him for the future with
such empty expressions of solicitude for
welfare as are to be found in the
platforms of the conventions. What
other recognition has he obtained after
81 years Of moral and political servitude d?
Appointment here and there as the alter
nate to some white delegate to Chicago,

BILE than Secor Robson.
