The Gaisba Girls Of Japan.

Toxic Correspondence New York Tri-

women that in many ways is particularly
interesting is that of the gaisha girls.
These are said TO be the only really yir-
tuous women in Japan. They are the IA

Shoguns; and anything more graceful
than these bundles Of bright eolors is not
in civilization. They are mostly petite
ana generally young. sometimes lot more
than ten years old, yet they have an air,
a dignity, certain solemn stateliness
that seems a part of themselves, and Is
heightened by their rich costumes. They

THERE is an end at last to the Great
Eastern, whose career has been long
and unbroken series OF failures and dis
asters. She has been purchased for el0,-
600 by a we'll known firm OF metal brokers
at Liverpool and Swansea, and is to be
broken up at once. The cost of this des-
tructiye operation will be at least &c.
600. The Great Eastern was the might
lest ship that ever sailed the ocean.
There is no telling what it cost the East
ern steamship company 60 build it, but it
is estimated to be somewhere between
three and four million dollars. 1t cost a
quarter of a million to launch it.

THE business OF trainrobbing in the
Southwest is still nourishiug. In the lat
est robbery oaly six or eight highwaymen
succeeded in carrying Off the booty, al
though the train was at stand aud the
trainmen and passengers had ample OPP
port1nlty TO resist. If the railway mana
geis were in league with the robbers they
could hardly be less active in suppressing
these robberies that they are. If the
eight or ten railway employees had been
properly armed, ,hey could easily have
driven the robbers of. The companies
make no effort to stop the business by
employing two OF three courageous men
with rifles to protect the train.

HEw anti Socialist measure, more
stringent than any OF its predecessors is
shortly TO DO introduced in the German
eichstag. The sternest feature of it is
a provision calling for expatriation or
loss of citizenship in the case of persons
who, by their opinions, deny the States
right to exist The measure, it is said
is aim cd principally at secret agitation,
it being considered impossible that Bis

If we know all the methods Of approach

the moment when surrender becomes inev-

strength Of the body sufices to enable it to

however have lost these forces to such an
