Washington, Oct. 1G Special. Townsend,

letter dated October l., begging for money from Ohio
clerks In the Government Departments here was

B,.l,rer's Bcam,tf,.s ,,.on.au.

The alleged simultaneous appear
ance of red-haired women and white
horses is the popular fad of the day,
and the papers are ransacking the
tones of the present and the past for
descriptions of handsome women with
auburn locks. AS yet Bulwer's de-
scription of Nina di Raselli has escaped.
Yet as description of beautiful wo-
man, or as specimen of old-fashioned,
high-shouldered English it has no SUI
periors in English literature:
For her beauty-Reader, shouldst
thou ever go to Rome thou wilt see in
the Capitol the picture of the Duncan
Sibyl, which, often copied, no copy can
even family represent. I beseech thee,
mistake not this Sibyl for another, for
the Roman galleries abound in Sibyls.
The Sibyl I speak of is dark and the
face has an Eastern cast; the robe and
turbau, gorgeous though they be, grow
dim before the rich but transparent
roses of the cheek; the hair would be
black, save for that golden glow which
mellows it to q hue and luster never
seen but in the South, and even in the
South most rare; the features, not
Grecian, are yet fruitless; the mouth,
the brow, the ripe and exquisite con-
tour, all are human and voluptious;
the expression, the aspect is something
more; the form is perhaps too full for
the perfection of loneliness, for the
proportions of sculpture, for the deli
cacy of Athenian models; but the lux
uriant fault has majesty. Gaze long
upon that picture; it charms, yet COM
mands the eye. While you gaze you
call back five centuries. You see be-
fore you the breathing image of Nina
di Raselli!

Recurring briefly to the early Greeks,
Simonides of Amorgos may be quoted
for this virulence against the sex.
"Zaus," he says, "made this supreme
evil women. Even though they seem
to be of good, when a man has got one,
she becomes plague" In his satire
on women, Simonides classifies them as
from ten different origins. "In the be-
ginning, God made the souls of woman
kind out of different materials" the
swine, the fox, the dog, the earth, the
sea, the ass, the cat, the mare, the ape,
and lastly the bee. For this ninety
per cent. of gall he partly atones, when
he adds that, "a man can not possess any.
thing better than good woman, nor
anything worse than bad one."
This reminds us of our Elizabethan
Burleighs warning to his son, when the
boy was thinking of matrimony. "Thou
shall find there is nothing so irllsome
in life as female fool" Perhaps the
statesman had not found Us much salts
faction in the boys mother as his sue
cess in public life ought to have stimu-
lated her into affording him.
Barely century after Simonides, an
other Greek, Hipponas OF Ephesus,
brutally aifirms that "a woman gives
but two days happiness to q man, the
day of her bridal and her burial. +" Plato
also, though his authority as an evolu-
ZIONIST does not stand high, derives all
animals from man, by successive degra-
dations, on the first step Of which
stands woman. This recalls the whim-
steal saying of modern cynic that
"when the universe and man were Gre
ated, the editice of creation was COM
pleted. It lacked only the weathercock;
so God made woman"
Matter, too soft lasting mark to bear,
And best distinguished by black, brown, or fair,
in the words of Alexander Pope.
But when Pope proceeds to say that
Aevery woman is at heart rake, much
as this agrees with Samuel Johnson's
opinion that women envy US our vices, !"
one is fain to remember De Quincy's
trenchant but sound verdict upon him,
that "Pope in too many instances. for
the sake of some momentary and far
cical effect, deliberately assumes the
license of liar" One may more
readily sympathize with the German
Richter's judgment in opposition to
Pope and johnson on this particular
noint "a woman had much virtue but
not many virtues; she requires con-
fined sphere and social forms. ALL

DEALING WITH 4 CYCLONE.

A party OF young people who had
lately returned from a trip to the Ar
kansas hot-springs were visiting an old
Irish lady in Brooklyn, a relative of
most of them. She had never seen the
great west, and was very curious in
regard to it. The young folks en-
lightened her with the most entertain
ing stories they knew, and at last the
gentleman who was the leader of the
eNcursionists gave a graphic account
of cyclone which had burst upon
them as they were descending a rugged
and precipitous mountain back Of the
hot-springs. He described how they
first became aware of it's approach by
means of a low grumbling and whist
ling which seemed to come from every
side; that presently their mules became
frightened and tried to kick them off
their backs; that, not succeeding, they
began to gallop headlong down the
steep sides of the mountain in uncon-
trollable terror, the cyclone pursuing
them closely and becoming more ter
rible every second, and at last bowling
as if with baffled rage when they
reached a place of shelter just in time
to escape destruction. AS the account
progressed the old lady became more
and more interested. Pretty soon hor-
ror became pictured in her face; her
eyes opened staring wide; her mouth
CAPPED and her excitement was intense.
She could no longer contain herself as
the gentleman finished. Taking the
last words almost out of his mouth,
she shouted: "Whoi didn't yer shoot
it? Whoi didn't yer shoot it?''-Ne,o

The last session of the Swedish Rigs
dad was productive of several bills of
Special interest to women. Herr f. L.
Borg brought forward one to provide
for the election of Independent women
|on Poor Law Boards and School
Boards, and also that resolution be
passed by the National Health Depart
Pment that any woman Of full age could
|be elected on the Board of Health.
The first proposition was supported by
|the Legal Committee, which maintained
that women by disposition as we'll as
Experience were fit to undertake the
duties belonging to the guardianship of
the poor. They have long since ac-
Huired knowledge and a practical train
lnS in the case of the poor, of whom,
moreover, the larger proportion are
women and children. With regard to
he second proposal, the election of
women on School Boards, the COM
nlttee considered it to be advisable, in

CnucK1NG uNDER TIE CHIN.

Chucking under the chin is not an
American institution It's perhaps too
preliminary. If you chuck baby
under the chin it looks at you with
surprise. But in the old days, when
servant-maids felt kind of compli-
mented if the young swell chucked
them under the chin, there were sew
eral very important differences. They
used in those days to get about SIS a
year, and they were modest, and back
ward, and retiring. Nowadays in
America they get more money than
bank clerks, and more holidays. They
have more fun than their mistress,
and, indeed, if there were any chuck
ing under the chin, I'll be hanged if
l don't believe the servant-girls would
chuck the good-looking male guests
under the chin. 1 suppose you'll say
this comes from the spread of educa-
ton. 1t doesn't. Nobody ever needed
to become educated into chucking a
pretty girl under the chin. It's one of
the things nature taught US. It's like
the mechanical action of breathing or
swallowing. We do it quite naturally,
without thinking, when we get a
chance. But it is hard to do nowadays.
Since girls took to standing-up collars
and putting up other barricades about
their necks, it requires dexterity and
courage to chuck girl under the chin.
Still it lis kind of agreeable even yet.
