Behold yon model beauty fair.
With cheeks of velvet down,
With heavenly eyes and golden hair;
But mark that naughty frown!
List to yon singers bird-like voice,
OF melody tide,
That makes the multitude rejoice,
But mark the conscious PRIDE!
In wonder see yon orator
Entrance the mighty host,
And hurl abroad the bolts of Thor:
But mark that subtle boast.
And as you see those grand displays
fOu sigh, alas! all me,
That which might be beyond all praise
Still lacks simplicity.

TO which we give our willing hearts
And without stint we bless.

So innocent and free.

Imaginary Diseases of Unoccupisd Women
and Morbid Men.


Imaginary Diseases of Unoccupisd Womsn
and Morbid Men.
A well-known physician several years
ago was spending his summer vacation
at the country-seat of a leader in pub
lie affairs, a man noted for his moral
courage and powerful intellect. He was
shocked on the evening of his arrival
to see his host turn pale. staggger to a
sofa, and gasp loudly for breath. The
wife of the fainting man. worn, wan
little woman, qxietly brought glass
of water, and stood by him until he re-
covered.
He rose presently. ut is my heart.

dent that it is angina pectoris. My end
will be sudden one"
"Does your physician?"-began his
guest, shocked and sympathetic.
'N-no. But know. The pain is
simply intolerable."
Professional etiquette kept the visitor
silent, though he shrewdly suspected
the pain was referable to fatulency.
His host speedily recovered his spirits.
and the evening passed pleasantly. The
next morning, however, the great
statesman appeared at the breakfast
table, in a gloomy, irritable mood. The
doors and windows were all shut, the
temperature of the house was kept at
fever-heat, and servants Were scolded
because, knowing the condition Of his
lungs, they permitted draughts to en-

he insisted His wife appeared, pale
and heavy-eyed, having been up all
night in attendance on him. As he
really had only an ordinary slight cold,
he forgot it before noon. Almost every
day brought some new symptom of
pneumonia, heart trouble or Bright
disease, which were his favorite all
ments. When his guest left him, he
babe him solemn farewell, saying:
Il shall make sudden end, doctor.
You'll see my death in the paper some
morning, and l suppose you'll say:

not strong, and neither body nor mind
could stand the wear and tear of his in

This is not so extreme a case as may
at first appear. 1t is so common one
that an eminent physician, who makes
a specially of nervous complaints,
wrote book descriptive of the patient
with imaginary ailments, and his ':vic-
TINS" or nurses and family. Unoccu-
pied women, and men whose large in
terests in the world make them es-
pecially dread death, are most apt to
cxaggerate slight symptoms into dam
gerOus diseases. One of the bravest of
American soldiers would make his FAM
lily wretched if he tore his finger with a
pin or suffered from tooth-ache.

Her brother, Gen. Rafael Quesada, of
the Mexican army, occupied a very promi-
nent position in European society. Upon
the death of Gen. Cespedes all the republics
OF South America offered to his widow the
hospitality of their respective countries,
but Nine Cespedes preferred to choose for
her residence the birthplace of her children,
New York city, where she is the center of
large circle of admiring friends.
Nine. Cespedes beauty is entirely of the
luxuriant Spanish type, and her parlors at
the Victoria hotel are thronged with the
elite of the Cu5an-American society.
NINE. FRANCESCA DE BARRIoS.
Nine. Francisco de Barrios was born in
Guatemala, and is the widow of Gen. Bar
rios, late president of that country.
Gen. Barrios was probably the most
clever, the most daring and the most ambi
tious salesman that country has ever
known. Senorita Francisco was surpass-
mgly beautiful woman. The marriage,
therefore, between Guatemala's most able
son and Guatemala's most beautiful daugh
ter was indeed a brilliant event.
Gen. Barrio's ambition, as president, was
to JON the various South American states
into one great Union and create a power
full confederated nation out of what was
He marched out at the head of one Of the
finest armies that South America has ever
looked upon. But by the merest chance his
forces were surprised, and while rallying
his troops into battle array, chance shot
slew Guatemala'S stern warrior president,
and consigned the grand scheme of con-
federation to indefinite postponement
Then, from the romantic splendors of her
Guatemalan palace, Nine. Barrios came to
this country, determined for the future to
make her home in New York She was
accompanied by her entire family-her
father, mother and her children. She dis
tlnctly preferred New York to either Lon
don or Paris as her place of residence.
She purchased magnificent residence at
No. S55 Fifth avenue. The house is stu
ated between Sixty-seventh and Sixty
eighth streets, and overlooks one of the
finest views in Central park. The furnish
ing of the house is magnificent throughout.
and curious and delicate objects of art from
the South are to be found on all sides. The
massive front door opens upon hall which
is devised as a little reception room-a plan
of arrangement which in its comfort and
convenience would recommend itself to
more extensive imitation in New York.
Nine BarrioS' house has become the
place of reunion for Spanish So
ciety in New York. In appearance she is
tall and slender. with shapely. we'll
poised head, clear olive complexion and
dark, dreamy eyes. She has ample means,

These two women are Nine. de Cespedes,
widow OF the Cuban patriot and president,
who laid down his life for his country. and
Nine. de BarriOs, widow of the late presi-
dent of Guatemala, who died sword in hand
and with his face to the foe.
NINE. DE CEsPEDEs.
Nine. Anita Quesada de Cespedes comes
of an ancient and distinguished family of
Cuba. She was educated in convent of
Havana with the greatest care, and at all
early age showed those graces of manner
and accomplishments of mind which won
her the reputation of the most beautiful
girl in Cuba.
Her marriage with Carlos NJ d'Cespedes.
who was then one of the great planters and
eminent advocates of Cuba, aroused consid-
cradle attention. When the agitation for
the freedom of Cuba began her husband de-
termined to devote his entire fortune and
to stake his very life upon that noble
cause.
He liberated 1000 slaves, representing at
that time about 1000, 900.
The people elected him with enthusiasm
president of the republic of Cuba. He as
sumed the chief command of the entire
revolutionary army, which numbered over
TO- 900 men, and for six years he waged a
most desperate war for the liberation of his
country. but his death upon the battle field
ended all hopes of the Cuban patriots.
His lovely and youthful widow was then
already in New York. where she has re-
sided ever since. devoting herself entirely
to the education of her children, Carlos and
Gloria.

AnIniuSt Charge.
J. P. COoLEDJE, Sec.

The Bows, of recent date charges
that the county is unnecessarily
paying out $50 a month for room
rent for Judge Edwards and AS
SCISSOR Kersey. Instead of being an
extravaganza on the part OF the
County Commissioners the renting
of these two rooms is an economy
There is no place in the county
building suitable for the Assessor
rooms where the records can be
kept, Mr.. Kersey by reason of
having this room furnished outside
the county building pays for his
own wood and light sometimes as
large as $40 a month. Judge Ed
wards rooms cannot be had in the
county building. His present
chambers only cost the county $40
a month, whereas, the rooms IN the
county building which he might
occupy are now rented for a much
larger sum by the county.
Thus it is that the manner In
which this is managed is simply
good business sense and is saving
to the county. Many people are
continually picking flaws in the
county management and this has
been done for the last twenty years
The best REPUTATION of the charge
of extravaganza lies in the fact
that since the present board were
elected the county has been rur
cheaper than ever before, ane
| the hooks show it.

Mormon Immigration.

New YORK, Feb. 6.-The Nor
mon immigration to this country
has practically stopped. There
has not been solitary arrival since
last November, none are on the
way and adyices from the Emigrant
Agency on the other side, warrant
the belief that the determined atti-
tude of Congress with reference to
Mormonism as an institution, has
had restraining effect upon intend
ing pilgrims to Salt Lake. Last
Summer one of their elders, who
brought out party of $50 from En-
gland and Wales said: eff ever the
time should come when the United
States would disturb them in Utah
thew will find no difficulty in trans
ferring themselves to Mexico OF
British Territory" PROBABLY they
we're contemplating such an expert
ment. ard mean while immigration
is held in allegiance.

Close Cattle Calculation.


The Reno Gazette says that the
closing up Of the season is making
the cattlemen figure. The conua-
drum is whether there will be sale
for all the beef before grass cattle
come in about April 1. The Bay
market abserbs about 400 a day and
it has about so days to run, which
will use 10000 head. There are
over $4,000 head in Nevada, OF
which the Truckee Meadows have
5000, Churchill county, 500; Para
disc. 1000; Quinn river, 700; Love
locks, 1000; Kirman & Hickey 800;
Vail, 500; North, 400; and Mason
Valley 400. Parties below say that
people are not buying much beef
and they lock for poor demand
during Lent. IF any cattle come
in from the outside, or if the meat
eaters do not change their diet, 1t
looks as if some of the California OF
Nevada cattle would 90 over and
prices would be low. Buyers say
they expect good prices, but most
of them have beef of their own Oh
