Are the sexes Changing?

Neeo York Letter to San Francisco Ar0oudut.
1t srather amusing TO note just now that the
f9shlonable world displays tendency de-
cidedly the reverse of that which obtained a
few years ago. Once it was proper for men
TO cultivate martial bearing. They held
their heads in the air, took manly strides. held
their shoulders back and were brisk and talk
alive: The proper thing IN girls al that time
was the drOOplpg and willOwy article. 1t
hadn't much appetite. and it cultivated the
habit of dropping Is lids over its large blue
eyes. All this is very bad form nov. Men
should droOp little, carr themselves care
lessly, and bend their heads a triile forward,
If the $40 specimens on view at the horse show
are 70 be taken AS examples. Their clothes
should not fit too snugly, their trousers must
be very wide and always freshly ironed, so that
the seams viii show, just as they do in trousers
that have just come from the tailor. From a
glance at SO Of these men it will appear that
all OF them copied from the same model Few
or mem wear side whlSkers now, and nearly
all are content with a simple moustache.
They wear high hats with Z-inch bands about
them, blace coats that are cutaway in trout,
gray trousers, white over gaiters and var
nlshed boots. Add pair of brlck-colOred
gloves, buckhorn stick and red tie. and
you have what would appear to be absolutely
correct in New York at this particular time
OF the year at the horse show. 1t is rather
difficult to gain this information, for no man
seems to care for any other man, and all eyes
are turned on the women. They walk like SO
many dashlng Dragons, with their chlns high
IN the air, their big eyes open to the full limit
If the law, and their magnificent shoulders
They stare at the men with superb indItfer-
ence and walk about as If the world owed
them homage and must render 1t in spite OF
everything.

Gave to each barren thing, from great to least,
The shelter of the snow; fair Hestla's feast

For circling seasons sweet and varying

At toll Of midnight bell reluctant ceased;
New bristling CapricOrDus leaps with might
To seize the rcins Of Winters gittering car,
And suddenly there sounds a song divine
That thrills the heart through ali the bonds of

And sends its m essage near and far

high forehead and bald spot between it and

rather large mouth, and ! should say very
slender mustache. His face looks like the

mind behind it,. His face troubled him
great deal until Henry Irviug's hrst visit to
this city. That polite Englishman, who
would have been diplomat II he had not be-

A University and a Penitentiarv.

1t is noticeable that two of the members
Of the Cabinet, Secretary Lamar and
Attorney General Garland, employed
some part OF their leisure time, prior to
preparing their annual reports, in build
ing on paper two magnificent national
institutions.
Secretary Lamar wants great uuiver-
sity at Washington, which shall equal
anything of the kind in the world. Ia
support of it he shows that such an in
stitution was contemplated by the fathers
OF the republic, He also points out that
the foundation for such a university
already exists at the national capital.
There is good deal to be said in sup
port of such an institution, and 1t must
be admitted that the Secretary's argu-
ments makes 1t appear TO be quite desira-
BILE. 1t is doubtful, however, If it will get
much encouragement in the very near fu-
ture. There are so many colleges and
universities throughout the country, and
so many OF them are so literally endowed,
that there doesn't appear to be any de-
mand for national institution OF
learning.
The Attorney General wants a national
penitentiary, and also jails wherever
Federal courts are held in which crimi-
nails may be confined until they are tried.
He thinks that the national penitentiary,
for which the jails will be feeders, as it
were, could be made self sustaining. He
doesn't seem TO remember that there is
such an organization as the Knights OF
Labor, and that II would likely protest
against bringing convict labor into COM
petition with honest labor just as other
labor organizations have protested against
contract labor IN the prisons Of the differ
ent States. and in some instances had
their protests needed.
1t is not improbable, however, that the
Attorney Generals plan for jails aud a
government penitentiary will be adopted
some day, Notwithstanding the fact that
Senator Jones, OF Florida. thinks that
Federal criminals ought not 10 be sub
jected b. a climate different from that to
which they have been accustomed.
Before the work Of building the iails and
the penitentiary is begun, however, we
should like to have in this city building
for post Office and court house. We can
get along awhile longer without Fed.
eral Jail, aud VIII do 50 without COM
planning II Congress will give us good
building for the purposes above indicated.
And we would rather have our harbor i'm.
proved, Also before the jail Is begun.

William H Vanderbilt.
From n. Ne,o york 7yn,s INA

1t is not dtsparaging to Mr.. Vanderbilt t.
say tnat II his had been an average lot in life
he would not have been regarded as a re-
markable man. The first half of hls life was
after his father had become one of the richest
men In the United States he himself could by
no means reckon cor identy upon the enor-
nous fortune that finally came into his pos
sess on. HIS own traits were not at all those
by which great fortunes are built up. He did
not inherit IN great measure either the ener-
gy OF his father or the sagacity by which that
energy was directed, and which wss never so
conspicuously shown as in the one act which
all OF Commodore Vanderbilt's c0ntempora-
res agreed TO regard as an act Of folly.

The Revolution in Nuevo Leon.

According to our dispatches yesterday
the revolutionary movement in the State
Of Nuevo Leon, Mexico, is increas-
ing. 1t is not exactly clear what
the real cause of the trouble is.
One representation is that the people
don't like the present State government,
the head of which is CARA Garcia, and
are determined to get rid OF it. Another
statement is that the present State
government is friendly to ex-Presi-
dent Gonzales, and supports him for
the presidency TO succeed President Diaz
The administration candidate is Diaz's
son-in-law, Senior Romero Robio, and Diaz
wants the State government of Nuevo
Leon to support him. To effect his object,
1t is said that he has stirred up the pres
ent revolution against the government of
CARA Garcia for the purpose of getting
rid Of him so as TO place in power a crea-
ture of his own who will support
Senior Romero. Federal troops have been
sent to Nuevo Leon, but they do not ap-
pear to do very much toward putting
down the revolution. A clearer knowl-
edge of the causes of the revolution will
be obtained, doubtless, as the movement
develops itself.
