Fashionable washington Women.

covers her shoulders and bares her
arms. The fashion is all very pretty,
and perhaps commendable, when the
wearer has a good neck and does not
pass the limit Of modesty, but such an
array of bony, withered, pimpled, red
and brown necks are barred on state
occasions here as would justify legal
iniunctions being served. Women
who have gone for years here with
gowns that came snugly up to their
chins and down to their knuckles have
suddenly gone to the other extreme.

Parents are sometimes very unrea-
sonable in regard to fancied griev.
ances imposed upon their children by
school teachers. An instance in point
lately occurred at POttsVille, Pennsyl-
vania, where six scholars were oxpell-
ed from a public school for eating
peanuts during school hours, and
their parents propose to test the mat
ter in the courts.
1t strikes us that the parents had
better let the matter drop, providing,
of course, the children had fair war
ing.-as was probably the that
If they persisted in p,anching the sue
culent "goobeGG = to the annoyance of
the nervous teacher and non-eauing
pupils, they would have to promtly
leave the halls of learning. Peanuts
are all right in their place-on a train,
where the rattle of the cars browns
the noise made in cracking the shells
ut town meetings. where they act as a
sort of moderator and prevent much
useless talk; by the tireside, where the
shucks make excellent kindling, and
under some other conditions not ne
cessary to state; but the line should
certainly be drawn at schools and
churches, although, perhaps, if man
is inclined to go to sleep under prosy
preaching he might take a few with
him, already shucked. just to keep
himself awake, if he don't chew to-
baccO. OF course, he would naturally
be very careful not to work his jaws
so Enthusiastically as TO attract attention,
but just enough to get away with a
dozen or so peanuts from text to bene-
dictiOn. Most anybody can keep
awake during the preliminary exer-
cisas.
On the whole, however, even this
concession to the appetite for the nut
that cheers but does not inebriate is
not advisable, and schools should GER
tainly be exempt from peanut eating.
Gum is bad enough, but the artistic
gum-chewer can manipulate her jaws
so deity and noiselessly as not to an
noy others in close proximity, and
therefore a cud of gum holds over
peanuts by large majority.
On the other hand, teacher ought
to convince pupils that peanut eating

Penideh, where the first Rpsso-
Afghan battle was fought, is between
sixty and seventy miles south Of the old
Russian boundary and about fifty miles
north of the line now claimed by the
Russians, but disputed by the Afghzns
and English. 1t is, in fact, very near
the center of the disputed territory,
which extends from moth to south
about 10 miles, and from east to west
about 100 miles on its southern side, and
100 on its northern. II is not large
area, but is well watered by the Kushk
and the Murghab rivers, which unite a
little north Of Penideh, and by the Herr
Rud, which bounds the Territory ON its
western side, defining tho Persian
frontier.
The valleys Of these rivers are fruit
full, but it is neither their agricultural
wealth nor their mineral resources of
the mountains that make the territory
so desirable. If tine territory in dispute
is conceded to Russia, it brings her
frontiers within q hundred miles of
Herat, the acknowledged key to Afghan
istan and the passes into India. While
Penjdeh may not of itself be, as Lord
Dutferin says, worth fighting about, its
possessions by Russia would be sub.
ject of solicitude to England. who, con-
sidering the steady advance OF Russia
southwark from Khiva, must necessarily
mistrust the motive Of this extension of
the Russian frontier. There could be
no especial object in acquiring Penideh
and the territory above described. un-
less there existed the Interior purpose %
acquiring Herat, thus putting tho Rus
SLAMS in a position TO influence the poll
icy of the Ameer, and ultimately alb
sorb his entire dominions.
The mbfe this question is examined
rs to its political bearings IN Afghanis-
tan and Northern India, the more es=

world to stop Russian aggression where
it is, and if possible force its retreat

A New Name for IL.


In the spring time of 1864 the front
Ter division of the Seventh army corps,
Gen. John NJ. Thayer commanding,
was encamped at Fort smith, Ark.
Communication being almost entirely
cut off, supplies were low and the
army did considerable in the foraging
line. On one of these expeditions a
clerk Mt department headquarters,
Wiley Britton, who was q very fine
writer and apt scholar, went out with
party of scouts south of the Poteau,
a stream that empties into the Arkan-
sas just above Fort Smith. They ran
upon a company of Texas rangers, and
in a skirmish with them he got shot
through the left wrist. Returning he
reached Fort Smith and was laid up
for some days before his wound heal
ed and he was fit for duty again. He
then got it into his head that tightirg
was not particularly his fort, since his
wound, neither was writing, and he
desired TO get back to his old home in
Missouri. He went to Gen. Thayer
and asked for a discharge, but the
general, thinking he was too valuable
a man to let of for so sight wound,
refused to let am 60, saying he did

Beauty In Amnrina.

Thanks to more generous Diet, q
| treer outdoor air, and a larger out
look, the present generation will leave
a rich heritage to posterity. Ii is
astonishing to see the Improvement in
the human form that has accompanied
the Increase of wealth in this country.
Poverty may be, and often is, respec-
table, but it is the ruin OF many a
ilne physique; and il is q matter for
lubilation that we have within our
borders large and growing class who
can afford 10 be comfortable.
OF course there is danger of running
to the other extreme. The sleek and
well-fed business man is sometimes
suggestive of equity old age, as is the
buxom and rebus.ious beauty of the
waddling dowager; but on the whole
there is most decided betterment.
And, although it may not be in our
time, we may indulge reasonable
hope for not far distant future when
the toiling race of New England
farmers wives, that sallow, skinny,
salaratus-fed sisterhood, shall be ex-
tinct, and in their place shall stand
a hale, hearty, and happy following,
who live on the fat of the land, and
sell only that wiIicn they can not use
themselves, who have time and taste
to array themselves in something be-
sides a cheap cotton gown, and gladly
make concessions TO fashion In the
matter of couture; who read something
besides the Bible, and, on the whole,
have almost as easy "A time as their
spouses' beasts of burden.
Take it all in all, we believe we
have good right to felicitate ourselves
IN the face of the world over our fair
women
The great and overwhelming ad.
vantage that la belle Americana pos
sesses over her foreign compeers is
that, although she revels, as girl, in
what the French call la beaute du
diable, her charm does not fade with
the dieting years of youth, and we
are spared the horror of seeing the
English transformation of delicate,
high-bred loneliness into the SEM
blance of big, Habby, and someHhat
Incorporate cook, or the fEightful
spectacle afforded by our continental
sisters of the shrinking and changing
of a pretty. piquant face to the weaz-
ened features of an elderly female
monkey.
OF course, innocent, unconscious
beauty is thing OF the past, that we
cannot hope to regain. The young
woman of the present day knows her
good points as well as she knows the
contents of her pocketbook, and what
they will buy in the market good

General Grant and Nellie sartoris,
Philadelphia Times.

Philadelphia Times.
IL is no wonder that the arrival of
Nellie Grant Sartoris has revived her
fathers spirits. Nellie Grant was her
fathers favorite child and she was a
lovely girl. Being the only daughter,
he not only set great store by her but
had high ambition for her future. Even
nj the moment when her heart was go.
ing out to Sartoris her father was hop
ing that her future life might be prom
inent and useful one in this land. When
Miss Nellie came TO the white house
she was still in short dresses, and hence
Il is seen that she married very young
Probably no other young lady In wash
ington society at any time was more
highly respected or more sincerely
loved than was Nellie Grant. She was
bright, winning, affable, discreet and
generous to all No ladies who
have occupied the white house
had more true friends than Mrs.
Grant and this daughter. 1t was
but natural, then, that the sturdy old
warrior should expect to see one OF hls
own countrvmen, one OF its bravest and
best, lead this favored child to the altar
and then into life as nigh as any one
IN the country for which he had done so
much. This mas no unreasonable as
piration, and her preference for Mr..
Sartoris was naturally a bittor disap.
pointment to her father. 1t was to all
Washington society. When it was an
nounced that this favored American
GIRL was to marry an Englishman chill
ran through the entire circle who enjoy
ed her companIonship. But, while the
father was grieved, he threw no OBJ
stacles in the way Of his daughters
choice. and the marriage took place. IL
is said by those nearest TO the family
that her going to foreign land m
creased rather than decreased the
fathers affection, and that as soon as hls
malady began to prey upon his IRON
will his chief wish was for Nellie IL IS
no wonder that her coming had given
him new heart, and there is much that
Is touching 10 the meeting of the great
soldier and this child. He may not
have much longer to live, but his last
days will be easier, for the light which
vent out of his house while he was the
ruler of the nation has returned to make
bis sick chamber cheerful and his last
days happier.
