New England Girls.


Boston Letter IN San Francisco Burletin1
It is not true, as ] had always ignorantly
believed, that all the girls in Boston wear
glasses and 90 about with volumes of Euripides
and Spinoza in their hands. Glasses are quite
out. and only those whom short-sightedness
compels wear them. They are the sweetest,
ems. Their color is as delicate as an arbutus
blossom. and with the incoming fashions of
health they are growing stronger and more
elastic. / have in mind young woman whom

ing who she was-a clear-eyed, finely -fibered
creature, simple, serious and sincere wi b girl

High school teacher of Greek and Latin. though
she might easily he the center of distinctivey
social life or the inspiration of poem. The
New England girl is charming type and it is
a mystery to me that SO many Yankee youths
who go West should forget these lovely girls
and bind their faith to the young women of
Ohio, Minnesota aud Oregon. i suppose it is
part of the law of progress but it is as inscrut-
able as when NOrtherner Ceases to care for the
first fine flavor of the frost" or Southerner
ceases to enjoy the rush of an ice-laden wind.

"A matrimonial agent with a rich heiress on
her books. is Just the sort of business lady to
ceed in Paris. Such person has turned up there.
and has been largely patronized by bachelors in
quest of wives with fortunes. She took room and
announced in copiOus list of ladies, eligible and
ready to marry that a rich heress the owner of
2.000O00 francs was anxious to find husband The
matrimonial agent had not less than 20 suitors for
tbe hand of tte unknown lady. She received them
separately, but would not divuige the name TO any
one under 800 francs Everyone paid the $780, and
all were sent to various parts OF France. As might
be expected. they returned to Paris lovelorn, the
clever lady having disappeared with total of TO- 900
francs.

- Quite a sensation has been made in Paris by
some bitter attacks made in the public journals by
NJ Pagranne the piano. He declares that piano
playing degradeS the whole science of music by
bringing it down to a vulgar level. There are SO
many middiing players who inflict themselves on
society. in and out of season. that music has
got be esteemed a bore But what he chiefly OBJ
jects to is the inducement offered by piano playing
to young girls. and other people devoid of real
musical talent spend large portions of their time
in acquiring accomplishment in which they are
dooaied never to excel.

THE VETERANS.
PcrOration Of Hon. 5. W. s. Parks's Decoration
Day Address at Absecon, N. j.


Day Address at Absecon, N. j.
Time rolls on, years pass quietly into eternity.
the marshaPs rol-call grows fainter and fainter,
the weary march OF the veteran grows ieebler
and feebler as the sun of their lives slowly de-
clines behind the hilltops of their bloody expe-
rience. The sanguinary days have come and
gone, perhaps never to return. The limb of
the crippled pedestrian lies in some sunny slope
of the South, and yet he trudges along, unno-
ticed, uncared tor, poor and hungry. to his last
escaping when bullets rang clear through the
air aud shells burst around him. They deco
rate the graves Of the heroic dead with gar
lands of flowers, the sweet messengers of love,
while the cup of bitterness is held with un-
swerving hand to the lips OF the poor, maugied,
heroic livingi Cover them over with the puri-
ties of Gods creation, as they sleep the i'm
mortal sleep of eternity. Cherish their deeds,
excuse their errors, forgive them their sins,
bless them for their patrotism-they bought it
with their lives-but for the sake of consist
ency. the love of patriotism and the divinity of
manhood, turn one moment to the living he
roes. Relieve their wants. support them on
their single limb, feed their starving families,
not save all to embellsh the sod over their un-
conscious selves, and their Decoration Day will
not be a hollow mOckery. The hand of charity
in the city of tho dead will not be the limit of
a peoples love. My friends. the flag of our
country should spread alike its folds over the
dead and the living participants in those dark
and gloomy days The deeds of valor of the
living are no less than those of the dead. There
is but a breath of air aud beat of heart be-
tween this world and the next for any of u.s.
Charity, then, should be greater than all things

that particular spot or not. Sometimes /
think would not. And yet, what memories
cluster about that old house! There was the
place where first met my parents. 1t was at
that time that an acquaintance sprang up which
has ripened in later years into mutual respect
and esteem. 1t was there that what might be
termed a casual meeting took place, that has,
under the alchemy of resstless years. turned
to golden links, forming pleasant but power

spared to my parents for many years to come.

more than 80 feet mp above the lake the fish had

gun, flew all to atoms and the fish came lightly
down on the water. no worse off for the short
ride in the air. The fish is a great curiosity,
never having been found, 1 believe, in other

dote of the peace negotiations at Hampton
Roads between the agents of the Confederate
Government apd President Lincoln. The con-
ference, as is wellknown, was brought about
by the elder Francis p. Blair, who visited
Richmond under flag of truce. There were
present President Lincoln and Secretary Sew
ard on the part of the United States. and Alex
ander II. Stephens, Robert NJ. L. Hunter and
John A. Campbell. on the part of the Confeder-
acy. The Confederate agents desired the rec

make treaty. Mr.. Lincoln would not consent
to this, and would not in any way recognize
another President" within the territory Of
the United States. Mr. Hunter cited the ex-
ample of Charles the First treating with the
rebels in his own Kingdom. Mr. Lincoln re-
Piled that his only distinct recollection of that
matter was that Charles lost his head.

Insect Pain.

Minute dissectiOns have proven that insects,
though possessed of nerves. have no well-de-
fined organs representing the BRAIN the seat of
concentrated feeling, where all the nervous
connections meet. They have instead, chain
of ganglia or bundles of nerve-substance. from
each of which nerves branch out to contiguous
parts; so that the sensations are not all carried
to one grand focus of acute sensiblity as with

of which might be destroyed without disturb
