A tall, lithesome pink checked girl, wearing

the attention of almost every man on Chestnut

enormous hustle rose half way up her back, at
an angle that rivaled that of her nose She
walked rapidly, with long swinging stride that
gave one the idea of work in gymnasium, and
ahead of her few feet ran red Laverack setter

Observation-Disclosures IN DAKOTA.

The Talk About Scarcity of Women in the
Territory, and What 1t Has Led To.
st. Paul (Minn.) Globe.
There has been so much talk recently of the
scarcity of women in Dakota, and of the avidity
with which Young ladies going to that Terri
tory are disposed of in the matrimonial market,
that the Dakota newspapers are reaping an ad-
vertsirg harvest. Their columns are being
filled with advertisements, from the East and
South. of young ladies who present their claims
as suitable helpmeetS to the young men of DakO-
ia. 1t looks now as if the business was going to
grow to such proportions that directly the Terri
tory will be filled with drummers soliciting
orders for the matrimonial associations in the
East. If the advertisements contain accurate
descriptions of the widows and maidens who are
pining to forsake the state of single blessedness
and unite their fortunes with the hardy pioneers
of the praires, there will be no trouble for
Dakota man to select wife to suit his taste.
The variety is endless. For example, in the ad-
vertisements which appear in a recent number
of the Fargo Argus we find that "seven Penn
sylvanians who are good housekeepers have
formed an association to secure Dakota hus-
bands, and solicit correspondence from those
who will promise to be loving and kind" A
we'll educated young lady wants to exchange
photographs with the best men-"no others
need apply" If this advertisement meets with
general response her photograph album will
have to be enlarged, for only the best men 60 to
Dakota. Then there is widow who says she is
thirty years of age and understands all kinds of
housework cooking, making mems and women's
Clothes who wants husband. She wants it ex-
picitly understood however, that she does not
want dude, but if a sober, industrious man. no
matter how homely, wants q wife, she stands
ready to answer his call. If this sensible widow
will amend her advertisement by saying that
she also understands how to make children's
Clothes she will receive a response to her appeal
from some sober Industrious Dakota farmer.
A Connecticut girl who is twenty years Of
age, dark complexion, and coodooking, who
will make pleasant companion, good house
keeper, and an excellent cook, wants some man
from twenty five to thirty years of age, with
good habits" A Pittsburg advertiser is widow
of twenty-five who offers herself with the best
church references" A Western girl, who earns
her own living but is neither servant nor
shop-girl, begs some Dakota bachelor to take
of her, with the promise that she will make
things pleasant for him about home A New
Orleans beauty, tall, well-proportioned, and as
fair the roses of her perennial cline, wants TO
open correspondence with lone strictly honor
able man, something after the style of Colonel
Donan." An Eastern exchange expresses sur
prise that the Dakota are not advertising
for wives. What is the use of X when the dear
creatures are coming right to their own doors and
and asking to be taken in.

The Confession of Napoleon's Wife.


Marie Louise was sitting one evening with
Lady Burghersh. when the conversation turned
upon Napoleon, to whom the former said she had
certainly believed herself much attached, and
was so, having been dazzed by his military
glory, and the greatness of his situation on the
imperial throne, etc.
Lady Burghersh then asked if she had not
kept up a correspondence with him during the
time of his residence in Elbe She an
swered: Eyes; | certainly carried on such
tent than was ever SUSPECTED Iee ''a's Then
why said Lady Burghersh, did you not join
him during the Hundred daysl" The answer,
II could not" was made. On being further
pressed as to the obstacles which prevented
this, Marie Louise answered only that it was
impossible, but at last ended by stating that
being with child by another the in
vincible reason that prevented it. That man
the Empress married Immediately on the death
of Napoleon having had two children by him
previously, and two subsequent to their mar
riage. Marie Louise was living with him when
this conversation took place.
