ELsRwnrRE we publish communi


ELSEWHERE we publish communi
cation from an English ladycomment
ing upon the alleged fact that DR.
Munhall last Sunday described
Englishwomen as the ugliest upon
earth. That this is libelous, ii it were
indeed the public opinion OF Dr.
Munhall, goes without saying, The
real struggle for the premiership oi
physical beauty amongst the ladies
lies between those OF the United
States, Ireland and England, and in
about the order named. N. P.Willis,
who had closely scrutinized the beau
ties Of the whole civilized world, in
his almost universally read book, gives
the palm to those OF Dublin, Willis's
meanderngs date back to almost forty
years ago. Since then the general
Judgment Of mankind has been con-
sientient on the proposition that for
delicate and spirituelle beauty the
danes of the United States abb
sorb the confectionery; that the
Irish ladies' retain their old
supremacy while, for solid attrac-
lions, involving wealth of hair-the
glory of woman, according to Solo
mon-brilliancy of complexion and
downright earnestness of physique,
the ladies' of England appropriate the
cake. In intervening in this matter
the editor of the HERALD has in his
minds eve the fate OF Paris. In at
tempting to adjudicate upon such
abstruse and recondite problems
there is danger great and unspeaka-
BILE. Nevertheless, Munhall to the
contrary and Notwithstanding, he is
inclined to think that beauty in the
eclectic-sometimes called the softer
sex is not a condition OF cline,
race or previous condition Of seryi-
tude. The odalisque Of the Bos.

WE have received the first number
Of the Del Monte Ware, a handsomely
printed periodical, which is owned
and edited by our late townsman,
Major Ben G. Truman. Typograph-
ically II is an elegant work, while
from the literary standpoint II can be
congratulated upon the possession Of
the discursive and interesting pen OF
Truman, who OF late has acquitted
himself OF much valuable literary la
Dor. This new candidate for public
favor, which is published at Mon
terey, and almost under the caves Of
the famous Hotel Del Monte, will
doubtless be the standard authority
at all watering and pleasure resorts
on the Pacific Coast.

CHICAGO, January 0. - McDougall
Foster, "the great American traveller, +"
in the county Jail. Though not yet
twelve years old, Foster has a record of
running away from home oftener and
being locked up in more strange cities
than any other Juvenile known to the
police. He has been to New York five
times and about two months ago was
arrested in San Francisco while trying
to hide away in the hold of vessel
bound for China. Mr.. Foster was noti-
fled of his arrest there but refused to
pay out any more money to bring him
back, so McDougall was obliged to
make his way home. He proved
abundantly able to de this and some
two weeks ago turned up in Chicago.

CLEVELAND. o., January 6.-About s
o'clock this morning 10, 600 barrels of oil
caught fire from some unknown cause at
the Standard Oil Companys works. The
fire department, together with the Stand
ard Oil Company's apparatus, soon got to
work. Other large tanks being in dan
gerous proximity there were for a time
appreh ensions of great confagration.
The burning oil made magnificent spec
tacle, lighting up large territory. As
quickly as possible arrangements were
made to drain the tanks. At 10 o'clock
the fire is still confined to one tank, and
all danger Of lis spreading is past. The
company is unable, as yet, to give any
estimate Of their loss.
