solely in Their Looks and Talk.

tfArlS LetCer 10 LOnuOn
 Seriously I can't help thinking that the wickedness of court ladies in the eighteenth century must have lain chiefly in their looks and talk. In judging of their morals we should first glance at their surroundings, which were all hindrances to immortality. Their chairs and sofas appear to us (because of the rounded hnes-in the medallion back) luxurious. But just sit down on them if you are tired and want to loll, and you will fad that they were made for Spartans and not for lazy, reclining sultanas or such like. You have to keep bolt upright on them. The complexion of the eighteenth century beauty was not, you will also observe, for close in- spection, it being artificial. And when there was run for coniHeurs q la mode, tho hair of 8 fashionable belle was dressed once in three or four days, There was deal of suf- fering pour etra belle. To begin with, na- tural rest was eschewed, and, to save the pow dered head from being tossed, it was not laid for nights on pillow, the way to keep it in gear being to sit up in bed, propped up with pillows. There was certainly no laisser aller in the long stif9 waist, tight as 8 drum over stays not hooked-and-eyeds down the chest, as in our moral time. but only laced behind and a perfect armor of buckram and whalebone. The stays in the eighteenth century were only. removed, be- cause only removable by an abigail, once in 12 hours. No. Beazty, you may depend upon it, ogled. and threw her artillery into her eyes, but remained all right in her citadel of hoops, whalebone and sedan chair, albeit cupids sported on the panels of the latter. There might have been Sir Charles Grandi- son kissing of fair hands and diamond rings, as loveliness in all her war paint was boxed up in the sedan chair, or bolt upright on her sofa. But what of thata My impression is that there was free trade in talk. Sex was sunk, and what is known as after-dinner hb- erty of conversation was all round admitted. But there was no Zolaism.

RENOmTNATED,

Perhaps no President has been more
 thoroughly hated by his party than Presi-
 dent Cleveland, and yet yesterday he was
 renominated with as much show of enthu- siasm as could be manufactured It was g singular performance, and the man who
 brought it about has some reason to think
 himself Man of Destiny. But it would be
 wise for him to wait until after election be- fore allowing his elation to become manifest.
 The Hon. P. A. Collins gave him an adroit and rather powerful "send-off" yesterday,
 but Joseph O'Connor, another Demo- crat, gave few days ago what
 will be generally recognized as 8 fairer estimate of the man and his record
 when he said: In the hope of Republican support MT. Cleveland made his pledges;
 in the necessity for Democratic support he
 violated them. He found the cause of civil service reform in good condition; he added
 nothing to it through legislation; he discred-
 ited it by his hypocrisy. It is a cause whose
 success depends upon the good faith of all
 officials and the support of both parties: and
 yet it's especial champions, the independent
 Republicans, ieopardized it by seeking to
 identify it with the political fortunes of one
 man. Nothing was gained by them but a brief delay in filling the federal offices with Democrats; but MT. Cleveland, though keeps ing up for time the pretenee of not re- warding party loyalty, was enabled to make loyalty to himself the condition of appoint ment, and 80 became, as no man for years has been, the absolute master of the Demo- cratic organization. He played the reformer exclusively at the expense of Democratic pol iticians that he wanted to get out of the way. For the sake of second term he tried non- partisanship: and when he found that the charm was broken, and he could no longer conjure with it, he fell back on partisanship for the sake of second term.
 There are no indications that it will make much difference to MT. Cleveland how he gets into the White House for another term, if he only gets there. He has certainly man. aged we'll for himself, and the fact that pub lie office is public trust hasn't weighed very heavily on his mind. The Democrats will have to vote for him, as they had to nomi- nate him. It will be interesting to see how tbe affair furns ont

The Table d,Hote to Blame


 The table d'hote dinner is great favorite in New York for many reasons-one, that itssayes ordering (and most Americans hate to order dinner; they would rather leave it to the Waiter); another, that one gets so much for his money. Housekeeping is hard in the United States, and in city like New York, where restaurants are plenty, there is large population of Housekeeping peo- pie. The servant girl question is just as knotty one for the wives as free trade or protection and the surplus are for the hus- bands. The wives settle their troubles more or less satisfactorily by boarding or doing "ight housekeeping" This compromise cannot be continued when the family begins to grow; but there are enough husbands and wives without families to make quite an ar my. Then there is a large unmarried class which usually keeps indoors during the daytime, but which swarms the city with the turning on of the lights. I suppose that the largest number of table d'hote patrons are recruited from this list; the best paying, at any rate, for they con- sume quarts of champagne, and lanalord's largest profits are made on his wines. There ia great deal of moral rottenness ill New York, and much of it seems to be begun at table d'hote dinners. People of the sort oi Sco6eld and Hatch are always hungry and thirsty, and they have passion for showing themselves at restaurants. Just the last thing you would think they would want to do; but they find plea.urable excitement in the fear of being seen and recognized. As a rule, men and women like to play with fire. I do not zee how 50 cold blooded 8 creature as the Scofeld could get any en- joyment even out of the settlements of hel life. She takes it all so eoolly, and Hatch'E death has given her not even annoyance. I had an idea that women of her class were mere emotional, but she seems to me 8 sort o1 human spider. I wonder how many more just such cases are to be found in New Yorl only awaiting death or murde CT to bring tc light A great many more than most people think, fancy.

The crevices are filled in with sand and coarse cement, over which is laid plaster
 and thus the walls and arched roefs of the
 dweilings-the former sometimes two to three feet in thickness-are constructed.
 Every part of the work is done in the most
 primitive and laborious manner. The earth, for instance, that is dug from the proposed site of some new wall is scratched with 8 rude hoe, gathered up by the hands and thrown into basket, which when filled is carried away upon the head. All this will be done by women, assisted occasionally by some youth who has escaped conscription through mental or physical incspacitY, or by graybeard too old for military service and unfit for life upon the sea. An the stone from the quarries upon the mountain side is carried to the building site upon the head, and we have frequently seen girl children not more than ten years carrying in this way stones that must have weighed twenty to thirty pounds. The head-is protected by 8 coarse turban, upon which the load is mount ed. The Caprians seem to have no idea that anything can be carried any distance in the hand

has increased tenfold, and that, in view O the improved methods of agriculture whict are bound to come, it is impossible to set any limits to the ultimate~dimension of the wheat crop. The reduction of railroad rates in India will help, also, in bringing an inn mense amount of cheap grain to the English markets.
 It is hard to make any reform in Demo. cratic political methods in Maryland. A short time ago new registration law was passed, under the operation of which it was expected that there would be more decency in the conduct of elections and more homes ty in polling. But now it seems that the Cor tion of the new statute and has secured the appointment of supervisors and officers of registration who quite as interruptions as any that registered dead men's names and counted in their political employers under the old law. Mere than half the registration officers supposed to be selected as representa- tives or the Republican minority prove to have been appointed upon the recommenda- tion of Democrats; none were appointed ups on the unsupported recommendation of Re- publicans. Of the new officials some were clerks of election in 1885 and 1886, when election frauds were gross and palpable, others are ex-convicts, drunkards, gamblers or sa- loon keepers

John Sherman and John Bull.

Senator Sherman has been talking in a
reckless way about the annexation of
Canada, and has called attention to the
resolution before the Senate committee
on foreign affairs, requesting the presi-
dent to open negotiations for the polit :
cal union of the Dominion and the
limited States. The Senate has under
taken 80 many absurd tasks, and paid so
little attention to business of real UT.
sency, that this small and useless resolu-
tion was hardly deemed worthy of notice
until Mr.. Sherman referred to it. Now
the cable reports uneasiness in the mind
OF John Bull, because Of a faint possible
ity that the resolution in question may
really mean that the United States and
John Sherman are going to take Canada
John Bull is almost unanimously opposed
10 any such proceeding, though he could
really spare the Dominion very well. The
trouble liz with his pride and his drum

the British drum beat could no
longer he described as circling the globe
with the sun, unless few Central Amer
lean states should be annexed for the
sAke of the metaphor. As leader Of
the party which is responsible for our
present defenseless condition, John
kaerman can hardly afford to talk
- calmly about taking Canada.
No doubt he would like to have
m addition of four or five millions
of voters to the northern half of the
Union, where the chances OF his party are
not quite 30 desperate in his eyes. No
doubt it would be quite delightful to
drum up another war for the benefit Of
he old war party. Pensions could be
