Sweethearts and Wives.

Brooklyn Eagle.
The funny man and the cynical writer
can always find something witty and sharp
to say about women collectively: in other
words. he always shoots forth his sallies at
long range. Here are few of their gen.
ordinations. Bidu, one of the reputed
seven sages, said: whether women be
handsome or not does not signify. If they
are ugly, they turn ones stomach; if they
are lovely, they turn ones head" Mon
tague said he would not be woman, for
then he could not love her. And Lady
Montague remarked that the only objec-
ton she had to being man was that she
should then have to marry woman.
modern wit defines the difference be-
tween men and women: "a man gives
40 cents for a twenty thing he
wants. and a woman gives 25 cents for
a forty-cent thing she does not want"
THE SUBJECT OF CoURTsHIP.
On the subject of courtship and mar
rage we can report some interesting say
ings a German writer says young girl
is fshng-rod, the eyes being The hook,
the smile the bait. the lover the gudgeon,
the marriage the butter in which he is
fried. There are really two eventful
periods in the life of woman: one, when
she wonders who she will have; the other,
when she wonders who will have her. A
cynical sailor has given his reasons why a
ship is always called she" 1t is because
the ships are useless without employment,
they bring news from abroad, they wear
caps and bonnets. they are often painted.
and man never knows the expense until
he gets one. And during the war Artemus
orJ oh ssNnna bi1ff tho hrou do
serve the fair, and none but the brave 1arn
live with some of them" Here is purely
ironical description of the sex: "a woman
is mighty handy thing to have about the
house. She doesn't cost any more to keep
than you'll give her, and she'll take a great
interest in you. If you go out at night.
she'll be awake when you get home, and
then she'll tell you all about yourself, and
more, too"
As to wives some vile traducer says that
month before marriage and month after
death
MEN REGARD THEIR WIVES AS ANGELS.
Douglas Jerrold observed: 'sMy notion of
a wife at 40 is that man should be able
to change her. like bank note, for two
twenties." A gentleman once rode up to a
public house in the country and asked:
WHO is the master of this house?" Il am.
SIR" replied the landlord; ''my wife has
been dead about three weeks"
But there is nothing so calculated to call
out the deep earnestness Of true woman.
and enlist her most faithful devotion, as the
doing up of her back hair. There was, once
upon time, Connecticut man who be-
lieved in self-improvement, and who sug-
gested to his wife that they should argue
some question, frankly and freely, every
evening. and try to learn more of each other.
The question for the first night happened to
be whether a woman could be expected to
get along without spring hat, and he took
!. the Affirmative; but they say when he was

of Wales. The redingote is of very fine
pale blue cashmere. lined throughout with
white silk. The dress proper is of pale
blue silk, yelled in the finest of embroidered
NULL with Fedora gathered into point.
Another way to trim the front is with
straight rows of lace flounces, caught to-
gether by tiny clusters of ribbon. Of course
such garment is almost as expensive as a
ball dress, and can be worn but by few
women.
A lovely afternoon tea-gown, which may
also be worn at breakfast on ceremOniOus
occasions, is made of peach blossom pink
and apple green. The combination of these
two delicate shades gives beautiful effect,
but only a woman of perfect complexion
should risk wearing them in the morning
The skirt front is of pale-green silk, over
which falls drapery of white faille. caught
by clusters of pink rosebuds. The bodice
front is of the same yelled in lace fichu;
and the back is full Vatican with train
of pink surah, bouncing of Oriental lace
bordering the edge and caught up with
a cluster Of green ribbon.
Wrappers for bedroom wear are made up
generally in soft cashmere, flannel or other
wooden goods. The long. clinging shapes
are in favor, although the Mother Hubbard
is considered the more comfortable. For
the latter pretty model is of white fan
nell with ten-inch hem about the bottom
and Vatican plaits ON the back yoke. Tor
chon lace ruffies edge the sleeves, and wide
satin ribbons fastened at the sides hold the
garment in front.

GORDON GONE.
England'S Great Gentleman Stabbed on
The Steps Of the Government
Palace.

KoEIf, Feb. 10.-Cols. Wilson and
WoTtlcy, with the expedition to Khar-
loum, arrived here today. They made
the Journey from Jubat in a few DAYS aud
bring news Of Gen Gordon's death. One
Of the Pashas among Gen. Gordon's forces
marched to the garrison to the side oi the
town nearest Omduorman saying that the
rebel attack expected would be at that
point, meantime another traitorous PaSha
opened the gates at the other end and al
lowed Mahdl's troops to enter ami they
easily captured the town. Gen Gordon
was stabbed while leaving the government
house, The Dailg AerS this morning ap-
pears in mourning for Gen. Gordon and
publishes the following from Gakdul,
Natives who escaped from khartoum say
Gen. Gordon was kille while in the act Of
| leaving his house to rally his faithful
troops. Later they were cut down to a
man and for hours the best part Of town
was scene Of mcrcieSs slaughter; not
even women or children being spared.
All notables we're killed except the treach-
erous pashaS and their followers were sub
iectcd to the most shameful indignties
MorG than Il hundred women and girls
were given over to the Madh's followers
to he used as slaves. After the slaughter
many of the Arabs were seen rushing
about the streets with head Of Egyptians
impalcd npon their spears. The next
night was spent in satuTnalia of blood
and dcbauChcTy. Since the capture Of
Khartoum the Mahdi has repaired the
foritications ard made the place Iracti-
cally imprcgnable. lie has made his per
mGn2ut headquarters there ana is said to
have an abundance Of guns, small arms
and ammunition. Both of Col Wilson's
steamers were wrecked. owing to the
treacheTy Of the pilots who will be court
marlialed.
The following additional details Of the
killing Of Gen. Gordon aud the fail Of
khartoum are at hand. On the day of
| the capture which is variously stated as
the 29th and 21lh of January, Gen Gor>
dons attention was attracted by Il tre>
mrndous tumult in the streets of the
town lie left the so called palace or gov
ernment building in which be had made
| his headquarters to ascertain the cause Of
| the disturbance, just IS he reached the
street he was stabbed in the back and fell
| dead. The tumult was caused by Mahdi'S
troops who had gained access to the in
| terror Of the town through treachery. and
who were soon IN complete possession OF
the place including the citadel. A fearu
massacre oi the garrison followed, scenes
Of slaughter are described surprising the
Bulgarian atrocities and rivaling the
worst horrors of the Scpoy mutiny. Panic
stricken Egyptians were captured in their
fight and put TO death with the most
| fiendish torturcs.
