The English Women.

Gen. Badeau says English women OF
the aristocracy are not so we'll edu-
Gated or so accomplished rs those oil
the upper middle class, or as cultivat.
ed women in America. They seldom
have a fine literary taste, or even an
extensive acquaintance with English
literature. He has been told of girls,
afterward married to dukes, who ask
ed, "who was Desdemona?' when they
saw picture OF Othello telling his i'm
mortal story. They are seldom at all
musical, and rarely possess high artis-
tic talent Of ana sort. But they ride
better than any women in the world;
they are proficient in all outdoor ex-
ercises archery, driving, sometimes
shooting; they all walk great distances,
they usually play billiards, they have
knowledge OF gardening, they are &C
quainted with forest trees, and they
know the name OF every shrub in the
park. They are often hunters and
sometimes anglers. They are practi-
cal in every thing but housewifery; this
they seldom practice before marriage.

The Sword Test.

The swords for the English army
which are manufactured at Solingen,
Germany, are subjected to the follow
ing tests: The blade has first of all to
support a weight of sixteen kilo-
gramnes placed upon it's point, with
out showing the least detection. This
pressure is then increased to such an
extent as to cause the bending blade
to shorten by sixteen centimetres, and
on it's removal, to snap back perfect
ly straight. A hard blow is then CIV
en-, first with the edge and next with
the back of the blade, or an iron
block, the prescribed curvature being
carefully measured. Then comes the
bending test, in which the blade is
subjected to bend of ninety degrees,
from which it has to spring back into
the straight line. Finally it is weighed,
and not until the centre OF gravity is
carefully adjusted does the receiving
officer put his stamp on the blade.

GOOD NIGHT.

The tales are told the songs are sung,
The evening romp is over,
And up the nursery stairs they climb,
With little buzzing tongues that chime
Like bees among the clover.
Their busy brains and happy hearts
Are full OF crowding fancies,
From song and tale and make believe
A wondrous web of dreams they weave
And airy child romances.
The starry night is fair without,
The new moon rises slowly,
The Nursery lamps burning faint,
Each white robed, like little saint,
Their prayers they murmer lowly.
Good night The tired heads are still,
On pillows soft reposing,
The dim and dizzy mists OF sleep
About their thoughts begin to creep,
Their drowsy eyes are closing.
Good night! The tired heads are still,
On pillows soft reposing,
Good Night! While through the silent al
The moonbeams pale are streaming
They drift from daylight's noisy shore.
BLOW out the light and shut the door,
And leave them to their dreaming

man Of PhiIade lphia, who also owned q

man OF PhiIadel phia, who also owned a
large plantation in Georgia, where
they sometimes lived In 1913 they
fell out, and their relations were such
that, although they lived in the man
sion together, they occupied separate
apartments and rarely spoke to each
other. In 1845 she left her husband,
went to England and reappeared on the
stage. In 1848 she returned to Ameri-
ca and sued for divorce, but after q
long trial the case was decided in favor
of Mr.. Butler. It was a case of in.
compatibility of temper, caused by
the difference in her stage acquired
tastes from his inclinations. He died
IN Georgia in 1867, she having con-
tinued on the stage ever since their
separation.
The career of Adah Isaac Menken
and her peculiar welded experiences
are prominent in the annals of the
stage. Her real name was Adelaide
McCord, and she was born in Milne
burg, near New Orleans, in 1885.
About 1858 she married Alexander
Menken, a business man, but their
union was unhappy and they were
divorced in Nashville. In 1859 she
married John c. Heenan, the pugilist,
but they soon quarreled. They were
divorced while Heenan was in England,
and in 1868 she married Mr.. Newell,
thejournalist, best known as s.Orpheus
G. Kerr" She left for California with
HIM, promisingto give up the stage for
ever. But the temptations were too
strong, and she broke her word. In
1864 they started to return to New
York, but they separated at the 18th
mus, he going to New York and she to
London. Then commenced aseries OF
most brilliant successes, and she had
the first lords OF the realm at her feet.
In Paris, Louis Napoleon himself was
in her train of lovers. In 1865 she
returned to New York, obtained a
divorce, returned to Europe, and liv-
ed a reckless life. Her grave is IN
Mont Parnasse, Paris, not in Pere la
Chaise, as is generally believed, and
on her tombstone are the two express
i've words: '"Thou Knowest."

Talk With a Tramp.
Chicago Mail.

Chicago Mail
He was lying full length on the grass
down on the lake front, in the blazing
MONDAY sun, and everything about
him encouraged the impression that
he was q tramp. His clothes were
ragged and unkempt, and samples
OF real estate from adozen States were
exhibited on various parts of his per-
son. When a reporter approached,
anticipating a tirst-rate romance from
the perapetetic land agent, and took
q seat on the grass a few feet away,
Mr.. Tramp just opened one eye, and,
after gazing at his visitor for while,
sung out the old chestnut: "Say,young
teller, amt got any terbacco, have
you?
The reporter passed over his pouch
and the tramp took very modest
chew and gave the rest back.
"Where did you come trom?" asked
the reporter.
ooh, been in the Bridewell for
month. Just got out. Afore that I
coined from Wisconsin. Been sorter

COurtship in Southern Italy.

Sudden passions like those of Romeo
and Juliet are the rule rather than the
exception in the south, though they
rarely have so tragical an ending. A
young man catches a glimpse OF girl,
and at once resolves to make her his
wife; if it is at church, he follows her
home; if on a balcony, he notes the
house and begins to haunt the street. Il
ne is acceptable, perhaps one day a
flower will fall at his feet, though the girl
knows that such encouragement is un-
lnaidenly. A lover with a good voice
and ear has an immense advantage.
He sings snatches OF love songs as he
walks below, and if a voice above
takes up the last note and
gradually passes to another song,
he may take heart. Whatever
difficulties he may still have to en-.
counter, an aversion on the part OF
the object Of his affections will not be
one OF them. Very pretty firtations
are carried on in this way, the young
lady at times knocking and teasing her
admirer with fragments of satiricaI
verse, and at times falling into some.
thing very like sentiment, but they
are more frequent after than before
the betrothal. Even the most favor.
ed lover has in the meantime been seek
ing for some means of establishing a
more direct intercourse with the OBJ.
ject of his choice. He has made in.
Quiries of the neighbOrs as to the char.
acter of the family and its intimates,
and endeavors to obtain an
introduction to one of the
elderly ladies who frequent the
house. To her he explains his
wishes and his position in life, and he
then begs her to plead his cause. Ihe
is an eligible sutton, she is almost cor.
tain to consent, as the mission is an
interesting one, and the position Is
considered highly honorable. She
knows nothing Of any little signs o:
favor the lover may have received, sc
her first visit is to the young lady
who feigns shyness and a reluctance
which it sometimes takes weeks te
overcome. At least the envoy is sup
posed to act thus; in fact, there il
generally perfect understanding be-
tween her parents, though they pre-.
tend to know nothing of what is going
on. After the maiden has given what
she considers sufficient proof of her
modesty, she yields. The father is
then consulted, the principal condi.
tlons OF the marriage contract dis.
cussed, and the betrothal takes place
