Partisan Society.

It is impossible for any American not
acquainted with French society to real
ize how marked is the difference be-
tween the aristocratic and the shop
keeping element in this country, writes
Paris correspondent of The Philadel-
phia Telegraph. In America, Sixth
avenue and Eighth street, so far as the
dress and demeanor of the feminine ele-
ment are concerned, resemble very
closely the same element in Fifth avenue
and Walnut street. Whatever differ
ence exists is like the best qualities of
Judic's acting-it consists of shading.
But in Paris, Nine. Dubois, of the Boule-
ward Sebastopol, no more resembles the
Marquise de Haut Cassel in toilet and
demeanor than a chicken resembles a
canary bird. To describe the queer old
woman in dreadful gowns that have
seen at the Elysee balls in later years
would be to furnish material for
cartoon in the CharIvari. l have, for
instance, seen an elderly female in one
of the official boxes at the Grand opera,
evidently the wife or mother of some
great political parsonage from the prov
inces, amusing herself by deliberately
scratching her head with her back comb
during the greater part of the perform,
ance. 'The republic lacks ladies' is a
reproach that has often been brought
against it. Nine. Grevy is elderly and
is an invalid. Nine. Wilson is absorbed
in her children and her domestic cares.
Nine. Brisson dislikes society even more
than her husband does. And at one
time-it was under the premiership OF
Gambetta- there were several of the
ministers who were unable to receive at
all, for the reason that the ladies presi-
ding over their different households
were not receivable" The most ele-
CANT lady of the republic, so far, has
been Nine. Washington, formerly Miss
King, of New York, who, being an
American, understood how to unite so.

LAFAGAN's LOGIC.
LAZINEsS.
Laziness is q libel on nature.

LAZNEss.
Laziness is a libel on nature.
It is productive in life, and dies hard.
The devil is the only counsel in its de-
tense.
1t is content with the efforts of its an
cestors..
It is the only successful persecution I.
know Of
tits preferable to RIGHTEOUSNESS, but
that's about all.
A lazy person is an accident and
ought to be born again.
Laziness don't seem even to get up to
the dignity of sin.
When inherited it is as hard to rise
above as to climb a creased pole.
A lazy man is generally worth what
his hide will bring, and no more.
It is hale and hearty for its age, and
does not appear to be going out of
fashion.
It trusts to luck for an existence, and
luck drums up trade for the poor-house.
Next to hot whisky it has done more
to degrade humanity than any other one
thing.
It is curse to humanity, and never
had but one successful rival-the locusts
of Egypt.
When content myself with lazy
person l am generally suffering for
something to fondle.
The more I study this subject the
more curious I am to know what the
lazy people are born for anyway.
A lazy man may hunt for job, but
you'll always notice that he misses it
just ''by the skin of his teeth
There is, however, one good thing
about laziness. for like CROUCH on rats"
it don't generally hurt anything but
rats.
After all perhaps it is necessary that
one-half Of the world should be lazy
that the other half may have chance
to get its graft in.
Laziness is about as full of DAYS
work as beans are full of wind but it is
about as hard to get a days work out
of it as to eat pork and beans and avoid
the nightmare that follows.
The devil was the first to get corner
on laziness. He took it on trial for
three weeks and liked it so we'll that he
patented it. Laziness in people is only
an infringement upon this patent.
would favor killing off all lazy peo-
pie, only I am afraid that mans ingenu-
ity would invent something worse in it's
stead. 1t is wonder to me that they
haven't tried to improve. on laziness
before this.-C Chicago Ledger.

A woman was in disguise end was

All men rub up and down and snort.
All women apply the water and stroke
