do you want to get rid of me?"
screamed Mrs. Breezy, clinging to her
husbands hand like vice. do you
want me to dr-drown? Oh, dear, here
comes another"
And she fairly climbed up on her hus-
bands form in vain attempt to escape
tremendous breaker, but it was too
late, and they both rolled over on the
sand, as the water dashed past them.
ugh, this is dreadful" gasped Mrs.
Breezy, finally regaining her feet, and
tugging at her clinging bathing suit.
"Oh, dear, must just look like-like-
fright; and my hair is all coming
down, and-and think I will go out.
Mr.. Breezy, what are you laughing at,
you great, heartless brute?' But an
other wave caught her on flank move
ment, and she once more hit the sand.
Oh, dear,-O Mr.. Breezy, catch me.
Where are your screamed Mrs. Breezy,
distributing herself promiscuously over
the beach, as she struggled to get out
of the reach of the surf
Here, DEAR" called Mr.. Breezy, dip
ping handful of sand out of his port
ear, and doubtfully crawling toward his
wife, and the twin wrecks made a bee
line for their bathing houses.

THE MEXICAN BELLE.

Pretty girls are rare in Mexico, but
when found are exquisite, the slender
oval of the face, the rich olive of the
cheek, the long, sweeping, dark lashes
of the supurb eyes glowing at once
with passion and tenderness, the low
forehead with its ripping masses of
dusky hair, the slender neck, the 1.-the
form, the springy step and the dainty
foot make them like a poets dream of
darkly brilliant loveliness, not to be
measured by any type with which we
have been heretofore familiar.
But nature is never over-lavish, and
the number of these splendid creatures
is as few as their perfections are many.
Remembering the streets at home after
the Friday afternoon rehearsal, filled
with the fragile, fower-like bloom of
winsome but delicate girlhood, its brave
ewes looking the world full in the face,
with that mixture of innocence and
boldness which is the hybrid blossom
of modern civilization, these shy, but
rich specimens, as rare as they are
wonderful, look few indeed.
Their perfection is offset by an equal
ly pronounced ugliness on the part of
the many, and young womanhood
changes into faded middle age even
sooner than with us-which is saying
a great deal. Nevertheless, the grace
full lace mantilla, which is yet almost
universally worn in the street, but
which, unfortunately, is beginning to
give way to the ugly stiffness of the
French hat and bonnet, gives to many
plain face such soft and effective
background that one brings back from
walk only piquant and pleasing
impression. If the Mexican women
knew what they We're about, they
would cling to this becoming headdress
as they do to their faith the sex has
no right to set aside such a charming
| acceSSOrY.

A MODEL WIFE.

Jones was we'll aware that his wife
was in the habit of rifling his pockets
when he was asleep, but, like a wise
man, he kept silent on the subject.
One night, however, he awoke and
caught her in the act.
"Haw he exclaimed, ''what are you
doing, my dear?'
The lady started, her cheeks flushed,
the pantaloons dropped from her grasp,
and she was about to make full con-
fession when q bright idea entered her
head. Recovering her composure she
said:
Il was only looking to see whether
your pantaloons needed any buttons. :"
"They do, they do, my DEAR" he ex-
claimed, springing from bed, needed
'em for weeks, months, and wondered
why you didn't sew 'em on; but l
waited, for l was sure you would get
to it sometime. And how kind of you
to get out of bed at this time of night
to attend to 'em. Say what you will,
there's nothing in the world like a
good wife. Let me turn up the gas a
little, SOS you'll have all the light you
want in sewing 'em on. Got your
needle and thread and the buttons?
No. Well, tell me where they are and
I'll get them for you"
Mrs. Jones proceeded to sew on the
!, 10 !,
side of the bed and encouraged her
with words of praise for her wifely care
and thought for his comfort, OCCASION
ally remarking that go where he would
he would always say there was moth
ing in the world like good wife.
Then he went to the wardrobe and
brought out several pairs of trousers, a
coat, two or three old vests, and a
number of shirts, from all of which
buttons were missing, and cheerily OBJ
served:
''While we're at it We'll make night
of it,
Two hours later, when Mrs. Jones,
with weary sigh, removed the Thin
BILE from her finger, Mr.. Jones patted
her on the cheek and said:
Il say it again, dear, say it again,
that wherever | go I will make it
known, proclaim it from the house
tops, shout it in the highways and by
ways, that d wife who gets up in the
middle of the night to sew buttons on
her husbands clothes is a priceless
treasure, a crown to that husband, and
an ornament to her SEX"
Then Mr.. Jones, chuckling to him
self, lay calmly down and slept the
sleep of the jnst. Detroit Free Press.

1--WE are needing rain badly" sagely
observed a Peoria father, looking up
at the sky with weatherwise eye.
''Well, should SMILE" observed his
ten year-old son. ''Why, what do you
know about the need of rain?" observed
the parent. "Well, you just get out
and skim around trying to dig fish
worms with a dull hoe, and you won't
ask that question:" answered the
young hopeful. And the father smiled
pleasant smile, while the boy went
on counting the marbles in his pocket.

Nothing is more honorable and pleas
ant than civility, and nothing more
ridiculous and burdensome than cere-
mony. Civility teaches us to behave
with proportionate respect to every
one, according as their rank requires,
and their merit demands. In other
words, civility is the science of men of
the world. A woman of good address,
who conducts herself with due circum-
spection, conciliates the love and es-
TEEN of society, because every one
finds herself at ease in her company:
but a ceremonious woman is the plague
of her acquaintance. Such one re-
quires too much attention to be a
pleasant associate, is too seldom salts
fed with what is paid her, and every
moment feels her pride hurt by the
want of some frivolous etiquette. You
cannot be too formal to her, nor can
she dispose of her formalities to others
Ceremony was invented by pride, tc
harass US with puerile solicitudes
which we should blush to be conver
SAINT with.

EDUCATIONAL coURTSHIP.

She was Boston maiden, and she'd scarcely
passed eighteen,
And as lovely as an houri, but of grave and So
Der mien,
sweet encyclopaedia of every kind of lore
Though love looked coyly from behind the
glasses that she wore.
She sat beside her lover. with her elbow on his
knee,
And dreamily she gazed upon the slumb'ring
summer sea,
Until he broke the. silence, saying, Pray, Mi
nerva. dear,
Inform me of the meaning of the Thngness of
the Here.
II know you're just from Concord, where the
lights of wisdom be,
Your head crammed full to bursting, love, with
their philosophy
These hoary-headed sages and maids of hosiery
blue
Then solve me the conundrum, love, that l
have put TO you"
She smiled dreamy smile and said: "The
Thingness of the Here
Is that which is not passed and hasn't vet ar
rived, my dear;
Indeed" the maid continued, with calm un-
rutfied brow,
1.-THE Thingness of the Hereis just the Thisness
of the Now"
A smile illuminated the lovers face and then
without any haste,
He slid a manly arm around the maidens slen-
der waist,
And on her cherry lips impressed warm and
loving kiss,
And said: Love, this is what 1 call the Now
ness of the This"

ODD PHASES OF WESTERN LIFE.

Western people are in many instances
brimful of wit and intelligence. Those
who look for an ignorant, uncouth set
of people, as they are described by GER
tain novelists, are not apt to find them.
True, there is much slang in their con-
versation, but, as rule, they are good
takers, quick -wtted and full of in
formation. Some of the slang is apt,
the sentences compressed a rifle bullet,
not lead, lying loose or beaten thin.
1t is true they are given to brag. You
need always to carry about the grain of
salt. Broad prairies may make their
conceptions large and hazy at the edges.
The West is thoroughly cosmopolitan.
The collegian with intellect trained in
the schools, meets native mind made
quick and strong by warfare with diff
Guilty. Many of our keen-witted,
shrewd and enterprising business men
have left US for the West. John Chi
naman does not possess the land The
lack of facilities and the casting of
men on their own resources have de-
veloped talent that otherwise would
have been dormant. Literally a man
is the architect of his fortune, and of
his house and furniture as well. Talk
to man, and like as not the answer
will show not a rough diamond, but
only one in shabby setting. Cowboys
are not always so terrible as they are
represented. They are heterogeneous
"a mixed multitude. A cattle king
told us of one who came to him green
hand. He never shirked his multifa-
rious duties of herder, hostler, and
even cook. At the end of the season,
after he had acquired a practical
knowledge of the cattle business, he
made himself known as the rich son of
a rich banker in Minnesota, and in
vested heavily in cattle. He deserved
success. His case is only one of many.
Cowboys may be cultivated and genial
men. Some of the phases of life are
ludicrous. In a town which was boom
ing there was no church. The boys
talked over the situation. "We have
a bang-up town, full of whiskey, full of
fun; we ought to have church; we
must build one All threw in-gam-
blers, saloon-keepers every body Then
came the question, what denomination
should own the church? The bows de-
cided the one which could show up the
most members. When the church was
finished the Presbyterians counted the
most heads, and they peaceably pos
sess the property in the prosperous and
sober town, as it now is to-day. A
couple of characteristic signs may be
interesting. In Laramie City we were
surprised to see leading from the pave
ment into a store gigantic prints of
naked feet, and leading into the prints
of an equally great boot. 1t is need
less to add that it was boot and shoe
store. In Salt Lake City curtain was
seen over the door of gun store.
The grizzly had surprised the hunter
swimming; he had knocked over the
dog, captured the clothes and stood on
the bank with the gun pointed at the
terrified hunter in the stream.

One of the neatest retorts ever made
in Cambridge, Mass.-not bad soil
for good things-was response lately
given by young lady to an under
graduate who offered her, with some
hesitation, his seat in horse car. She
got in with an elder companions; the
car was crowded, and two young men
sat near. One gave his seat at once to
the elderly lady; the other kept his
place. His friend asked him-speak-
ing, however, in German-why he did
not give his place to the young lady.
He answered, in the same language,
Because she is not pretty enough" "
After little reflection, however. he,
too, rose and surrendered his seat.
The young lady took it, and thanked
him-in German.

An apparatus for the analysis of i'm
purities in the atmosphere has been
introduced into some of the public in
stitutions of Scotland and elsewhere
In this machine aspiration of the air is
obtained by means of pair of air
pumps, the piston rods of which are
connected with beam, to either end
of which the working handle can be
attached. The air pumps are con-
nected directly with reservoir of
about the capacity of eight cubic feet,
and this reservoir again communicates
with the atmosphere by six compara-
lively small tubes; thus, the working
of the pumps gives rise on the one
hand to a somewhat intermittent flow
pumps into the atmosphere, and, on
the other hand, to a regular flow of air
out of the atmosphere through the six
tubes into the reservoir. The function
of the reservoir is therefore simply to
secure a steady flow of air in the di-
rection of the pumps, Notwithstanding
their necessarily intermittent action.
The air once set in motion in several
distinct streams toward the pumps, is
before it reaches the reservoir, first
freed from impurities by washing, ther
measured as it passes through dry gas
meters.

A MOVENENT IN KEEPING

the sobriauet of Brick Pomeroy,'
has conceived a patriotic and laud-
able undertaking. This fellow who
published a rebel journal during
the war in the North, apparently is
Just the man to take subscriptions
to erect a monu meut over the grave
of Mrs. Surratt. the female con-
spirator who was hung during the
war by President johnson. There
is no doubt but that Brick" would
Re glad to receive subscriptions.
but it is extremely doubtful wbeth-
er rebel sympathizers will trust
their money IN the hands of such
a scamp. Recently Pomeroy pub
lished that he was prepared to re-
ceive subscriptions for the con-
struction of a tunnel rough the
Rocky Mountains, and he actually
started paper in Denver to Doom
the scheme. and it is said that he
was quite successful on the sub
scription dodge. But how shame
fully this man labors to outrage the
lcval sentiment Of the people.
This woman is no more entitled to
i. monument than Wilkes Booth,
Mrs. Suiratt was one Of the con-
spirators against the life Of the
President. She was on too close
terms with Booth, Payne, Harold
and Asteroth not tn be an aces
sorv before the fact History
makes this woman guilty of con-
spiracy to murder, and when the
people conclude to raise monuments
over murderers it will be proper to
honor this bad womans memory
The Copperhead press are now en-
deayorinc to make Mrs Surratt the
MARTYR instead Of Lincoln. They
are shedding genuine tears over the
hanging Of Mrs. Surratt. Had
Mrs. Surratt been tried under the
civil law. and given the benefit OF
all legal technicalities, it is posi-
bic she might have escaped. One
Of three things are true. Mrs. Sur
raft was a very in 1iscreet woman,
John NJ. Floyd was a perjured vii

EAIR'S INFLUENCE.

The newspapers which have been
employed to work up the Fair boom
ought to says as little about his in
fuence with the Administration
so long as nc is unable to keep the
Carson Mint in operation, as Jones
did.
1t may be, and in fact is quite
probable that he has made no ct
fort to keep it open, as he has al
ways been its avowci enemy. For
years, when his mines were turning
cut millions Of silver, be shipped
the bullion past the Mint by the
ton, prefering to make few cents
more in San Francisco, than to pat
ronizc the State where he made his
vast fortune. During this time
the Mint was frequently closed,
causing much distress in this city,
which could have been all done
away With by a stroke of Fairs pen.
The Democracy reward this man s
devotion to the Silver State ty
sending him to the Senate. The
Democrats call upon miners and sill
yer men to stand by them, and their
leader, color bearer and sack bearer
today is Col. James Fair, who Is
the worst enemy at present that
the silver interest of the State ever
had.
If any Democratic journal can
explain this thing satisfactory to a
puzzled constituency, the ArrEAL
would be glad to know how 1t can
be done.
