Far Above Beauty.

In my life have known many women
well. Among them is q fair majority of
what the truly appreciative would call
happy, for which fact thank God, as it
has helped me to take, on tho whole, q
hopeful view of life as well as of human
nature. Now, are these women, blessed
as many Of them are with devoted hus-
bands, cheerful homes, cultivated So
ciety, and leisure for the exercise of any
special talent they may possess, beauti-
full women? With one or two exceptions,
no. Indeed, more than few OF them
are positively plain, if feature only
is considered, while from the rest l can
single out but two or three whose faces
and figures conform to any of the recog-
nized standards of physical perfection.
But they are loved, they are honored,
they are deferred to. While not elicit
ing the admiration of every passer by,
they have acquired through the force,
sweetness or originality of their charac-
ter ths appreciation of these whose ap-
preeIation confers honor and happiness,
and, consequently, their days pass in an
atmosphere of peace and good will which
is as far above the delirious admiration
accorded to the simply beautiful as the
placid shining of the sunbeam is to the
phenomenal blaze of an evanescent flame.

AN AMERICAN GIRL.
Her Report Of the French National Con-
servatory of Music.

Her Report Of the French National Con-
servatory of Music.
A reporter for The Chicago Tribune
interviewed Miss Laura Moore, the opera
singer, with the following reEult:
'How many American girls enter the
Conservatory
''More every year. Many girls prefer
a German course, and insist on going to
Munich. But the National Conserva-
tory of France has an immense prestige.
ALI the best singers in the country have
passed through it. Its prizes are more
sought after than the highest operate
positions. Its diplomas give you the en-
try of all musical bodies. Its president
Is Ambrose Thomas, composer of
'Mignon' and Hamlet Its jury COM
prises the names of Delibes, Massenet
and Guiraud, who are all professors in
the Conservatory. To have come vic
toriously from its tuition is almost to in
sure the success of your musical career"
sis the opera bound to take girl who
wins the first prize?"
"No; but the competition at which the
prize is won is public. The managers of
the Grand opera are among the audience.
They get an excellent chance to hear
what you can do"
"And if they take your"
"You are bound to them at a yearly
salary of 81 900. This is the rate fixed
by the government. 1t is small, but
then you have had all your schooling for
nothing"
"How did you win your first prize?'
M. Bartot, my teacher, made me sing
the hardest thing he could find"
"What was thatT
"Ophelia's mad scene in Hamlet He
said: If you can sing what is difficult
the jury will know what you can do
with songs that are easy. o, the bitter
tears shed over the mad scene. But l
mastered it. The prize was awarded to
me unanimously"
"Had it any pecuniay value?''
''No, onIy the diploma. But how
many girls would give their eyes for
that diploma? Besides, the education,
which costs many Americas parents SO
much, had come to me for nothing. /
had merely gone to the Conservatory,
had my voice tried, sung one song, and
been admitted. Two years later I won
my prize"
"Would you advise other American
girls to try to follow your exampleE"
"Why not? I am western girl. My
parents are dead. l had nobody to pay
for my education. l settled down in
Paris, knowing that had to succeed;
and when q western girl knows that she
has to succeed she generally succeeds"
"Can anybody enter the Conserva-
toryT
''Any girl gifted with a good voice.
1t is wonderful institution which opens
its doors, not to its own people only, but
to all the world. /, an American girl,
owe everything to its fostering care.

At tho Wrong Door.

In Paris. several families often live
under one roof, and each occupies its
own "1at" or apartments. The duke and
the laborer, saint and vagabond, the good
and the bad may live in the same house,
and yet neither of them know his neigh
Dor. The author of "Parisian Lights"
says that two friends lived year in the
same house without being aware of the
fact, until they accidentally met in the
street, and inquired each others address.
This author also relates the story of an
amusing mistake:
A gentleman called upon lady with
whom he was well acquainted. Onreach-
ing the house, he assembled the stairs,
but, not having counted the flights, en-
tered the apartment in the story above
that of the lady.
He found the table set for lunch,
showing that company was expected.
With a liberty which his relations with
the family warranted, he helped himself
to bonbons and fruit Hearing lady's
voice calling from her chamber, and
apologizing for not coming out immedi-
ately, he replied, "Do not disturb your
self, madam; will wait.
The lady at once entered the room, and
the gentleman found himself in the pres
ence of o stranger, who seemed as
amazed as he was.
Madame" said he, lis not this the
apartment of NJ. -%
"No; that is on the floor below"
"Then, madame, have to throw my
self at your feet for this intrusion
Thinking myself in the apartment of
Nine. -, have been eating freely of
your refreshments, and can now only
offer the humblest of apologies. I am
NJ. dc -"
His name was well known in Partisan
society, but the lady was but half con-
vinced, and as she followed him to the
door, kept one eye on her plate, and the
other on him. He afterward met her in
the apartment below, and they had a
hearty laugh over their mutual surprise

A Prosperous Hotel Porter.

There is one hotel porter in Chicago
who has not the distinction of being the
oldest man in the business, yet he is I'M
doubtedly the wealthiest. The aristo-
cratic tourist who makes his homo at the
Grand Pacific during his stay in Chicago
is greeted on his arrival by tall man of
genteel appearance, who takes his big
travelling lag with Chesterfeldian bow
and conducts him to tho foot of the ele-
vator. This man is John Culliton, the
richest hotel porter in the world. Culli-
ton is said to be worth more than $780,
600, and lives in elegance on Park
avenue. He prides himself on the men,
ory of names and faces, and knows every
public man in America who has CHANGED
to stop at the Grand Pacific hotel. He
is always posted on the railway time
tables and is prepared to give his opinion
readily on the amusements in the city.
Like his contemporaries, who enjoyed
the profits of ticket scalping before that
business became a specially and was
controlled by agents, he made an indie
pendent fortune and continually added
to it. He has ten assistants, who receive
$50 q month each and their board

Marriage is not transformation. John
will be as cross when he is hungry, as
glum when distraught with business
anxieties, as uncomfortable when his
collar chafes his neck-in word, as
human and as fallible q John welded as
single. He is good son and brother,
yet betrothed Mary has heard him speak
impatiently to his mother and tartly to
his sister, He will, upon what l:c reck-
ons as sufficient occasions, be 10th pert
and petulant with his wife when once
the "new chy" has worn off. Were this
not true he would bc an angel, and

and Derby hats, or have dyspepsia and

A West VIRGINIA Diana.

The most celebrated hunters of the Sec
ton are Bob Eastman, julie Baker, a
woman, and Louis Chidester. There is a
law to protect deer, but it is not observed.
Out of season venison is called mountain
mutton. julie Baker is the wife of Joan
Baker, and lives near the mouth of
Black Water fork. She can handle a
Winchester with the dexterity and pre-
cision of Old Leatherstocking, and hun
dreds of deer and bear have fallen vic
Tins to the unerring bullets from her
rifle. Bob Eastman says he saw her
plunging down the mountain side
through six inches of snow one day,
with two rifles and bear trap strapped
to her back and followed by six dogs.
She ran three miles to point where she
thought deer in full chase would cross,
and she got there in time to see her hus-
band kill him. She is big, black haired
woman, very Industrious, with heart
as large as her foot, and she is the mother
of seven children. She is not pretty. A
few months ago, for silver dollar, she
carried q valise weighing over 100
pounds seven miles for ON engineer. 1t
is said that on one occasion she carried
sewing machine from Grafton to her
home, distance Of sixty miles.-Balti-

Ono of tho Richest soveroiCns.

The little princess of the Netherlands,
when she becomes queen of Holland,
will be one of the richest sovereigns, if
not the richest sovereign, in Europe.
The civil list of Holland, which is secured
on the revenues of Borneo, is very large
--e3, 900, 900 per annum, it is said. The
duchy of Luxembourg passes to the
grand duke of Nassau, and then becomes
a portion of the German empire, but the
kingdom of Holland, not coming under
the operations of the Salic law, descends
to the kings little daughter. She is q
bright, intelligent, clover child, with q
good deal of character and determina-
ton. The marriage of the king and
queen, despite the disparity Of age, has
been very happy one.-London World.

The favorite problem Of thinkers and
teachers, since thought began, has been
to find some engine of ecucation which
should reach the character as effectually
as the ordinary means of training touch
the understanding; and in the opinion
of many, not men alone but nations,
music was such an engine. "It is music" 7"
said the Spartans, (which distinguishes
the brave man from the coward" "a
mans music is the source of his courage"
1t was their music which enabled Leoni-
das and his three hundred to conquer at
Thermopyle. Itwas music which taught
the Spartan youths how to die in the
wrestling ring or on the field of battle.
These claims arc audacious surely. Yet,
when we consider how the rhythmical
tread of the brave man differs from
the agitated shamble of the coward,
how music is the art of human joy, and
how Joy and repose of mind are the main
elements of manly fortitude, we shall at
any rate admit that there is q strong
affinity somewhere; our only difficulty
will bc to acknowledge that music, de-
liberatcly applied, could ever be the di-
rect cause of these reputed results. To
achieve the end desired Spartan boys
passed their youth in learning tunes,
hymns and songs; this was their sole
mental culture. They were taught to
dance and keep step to the, measure OF
the songs as they sang them. And, grown
to manhood, now perfect warriors,
marched into battle with smiling faces,
crowned with flowers, calm, joyful and
serene, and, intoning their songs, moved
steadily thus into the thickest of the
fight, undisturbed and irresistible. The
band that leads oIr armies to the field of
battle nowadays is u scant survival OF
Spartan practice, yet even i'll this music
/ by proxy there arc many elements of
inciteInent to courage.-The National
Review.

The following item is going the rounds
of the press: "rhe most dangerous
way to send valuable letter is in q
registered package. The government
does not assume responsibility for it."
While it is true that the government
does not assume responsibility, the sys-
tenn is so finely arranged that postal
clerk cannot tamper with registered
package without being found out; he
knows it and consequently lets IT talone.
Instead of being dangerous way to
send valuable packages it is a very safe
and convenient mode of sending small

THE HARBoR APPROPRIATION.
1t is Not Sufficient to Make Any Per.
manent Improvement.


UNITED STATES ENGINEER's OFFICE,
SAVANNAH, GA, March IS. -Editor Morn
ing NetCS: Your letter of this date, asking
"whether the project for obtaining a depth
of - feet at mean high water from Savan-
nah to thesea can be begun with an appro-
priation of only 100000, etc. J." has been re-
ceived.
In reply, have to say that the amount
mentioned is not only entirely inadequate
for beginning work under the project re-
ferred to. but insufficient to make any real
progress toward completing the old project,
which contemplated depth of only - feet
at mean high water from the city to the sea
in short, TOO small for economical or ad-
vantageous expenditure.
Notwithstanding the small and irregular
appropriations of the past the works for the
improvement of the Savannah river have
been very successful, and, under adequate
yearly appropriations, would have been
completed for less than the original esti-
mates, but the work of impro ye.ncnt has
now reached point where, with irregular
and insufficient appropriations, such as
have been made in the past, future progress
will be slow and unsatisfactory. With an
appropriation of 500, 900 it will % possible
TO maintain during the year the present
depth of the river, and by DREDGING 70 tenn
porarily increase this depth at a few points.
In river like the Savannah such improve
ment will be only temporary, and when
the S90,0 900 is expended, 1t will take about as
much TO complete the Improvement as
would be required at present.
In the annual report of the Chief of
Engineers for the last fiscal year lie esti-
mates the amount necessary TO complete
the existing project (22 feet Of
water from Savannah to the seal at s $50, 600.
In his report of Jan. 4, 1888, he states that
''should the project (2S feet of
water from Savannah TO the seal meet with
the favorable consideration of Congress the
sum of S6OO,0O0 could be advantageously
expended during the fiscal year ending
June 30 1889, in the prosecution of the
work" 1t will be seen that II the old pro-
ject is 10 be completed and the new one
begun the sum of $3.50, 900 will be needed
for the advantageous prosecution of its
work during the next fiscal year.

Brutal Treatment of a Child by
Sanctimonious Augustan.


AUGUSTA, GA, March Wright Smith,
one-legged white man who lives In the
suburbs of this city, was before Recorder
Dunbar this morning for cruel treatment Of
his l6-year-old son. The case was reported
by a neighbor, who says the boys cries were
heartrending. When the lad was stripped
to the waist in court his back presented an
awful sight. Many spectators in the court
room turned away sick at heart. HIS
shirt was glued to his back with blood
and only after painful efforts was
tie garment removed. His back from
his neck down was crossed by large blood
covered weltS, showing where the blows
had fallen. No less than seventy five lashes
had fallen on his back, while one ear was
almost split " it'll the cowhide which was
used to chastse him. One eye was shut by
blow across the brow. Young Smith had
run away from home to visit relative in
the country, and was whipped on his re-
turn. The father is a prominent member
of the church, and many of his brethren
were present to testify to the viciousness OF
the lad and 10 give opinions on the use OF
the rod. Smith was sent to the public
works for ninety days, and will be taken
before the City Court at the expiration of
his sentence to answer under warrant the
charge of cruelty 10 his clild.
