A strangelook ing, craft is visible on the
Seine Just at present. It is moored at the
little Island of the Vert-Galant, close to the
Pont-Neuf, and in general appearance looks
like one of the ordinary river lighters, or
gGbareS, which carry goods through the
waterways of France. Onnearer inspection,
however, the gdbGre turns out to be a most
carefully constructed n sumptuously-deco-
rated specimen of its class of craft. 1t is, in
fact, a we'll appointed "junk' which has been
built by a rather eccentric provincial banker
for himself and his family. Around its sides
are iron rails and hooks for awnings, and in
it's interior are a salon, a dining room, two
bed rooms, a bath room, a kitchen, and, most
wonderful of all, a stable and ~coachhouse.
The cabins, or rather rooms, forpr1vate use are
fitted up not only comfortably, but artistlcal-
ly, and there is even a piano IN the drawing
room. The stables hold four horses, the
animals being as comfortable IN their stalls
as if they were in q big stable IN a Chateau
or a Town, house. The boat is built OF iron,
is of about two hundred tons burthen, and
can be ~navigated on most OF the French
rivers. The cost of the craft was 92,4OO.
It's owner-a M. Bareton-dlSdalns railways
and ordinary means OF locomotlon. he
merely uses his horses and carriages for
travelling in cities and other places where
his big " junk cannot go. Wherever there
is a river or a canal he journeys along it quite
comfortably in his gabare, and enjoys fresh
air and quiet away from the shrek Of engines
or the busting life Of big "termini." He
never has an hotel-bill t2 pay, and he intends
to live with his family in his boat during the
Great Exhibition, when he is to spend two
or three months in Paris. People have
already begun to speak about "Diogenes in
his tub, but M. Bareton goes along in his
ga6are and needs nobody.-Daily Telegraph.

81 don't think ever knew man who was
more improvident, OF who had less ability TO
take care Of his money, than Gen. Garfield"
said gentleman who was on very intimate
terms with the late president, to a Star re-
porter the other night His friends all knew
the generals weakness in that respect he
continued, land were always willing to assist
him when he got into tight place, which, l
must say, was quite often. He as such a
genial, companionable man that every one
who knew him liked him, and those who
were his intimates positively loved him
Garfield knew that he had no head for bust
ness; that he could not keep money, and he
often ioked about it. Sometimes those of
his friends who had pulled him out Of close
financial quarters frequently would get a
little irritated, but they always ended by
giving him what he wanted. I'll tell you a
little story, which is as true as gospel In
1877 there was a large party going TO make
the trip across to San Francisco, and Gar
field wanted very r'uch to 60. He had been
invited and had his railroad passes there and
back. But such a trip costs money, even If
you don't pay railroad fare, and Garfield
was hard up. He was talking about the trip
one dav with banker here and myself, and
expressed regret that he could not go. The
banker asked him why and be confessed that
he hadn't any money. The banker said he
would loan him $500, and Garfleld's face liz
up with pleasure as he asked when he could
have the money. The banker, who knew his
weakness, said he wouldn't give it to him,
for If he did he wouldn't have any by the
tirne the train should start. but he agreed To
give it to me, with TIE understanding thar
should give the general $3.50 after he got on
the train and take the other $3.50 TO Mrs.
Garfield to keep her while he was gone. He
agreed to the terms, and faithfully carried
them out w ashinEton Star.

In the gradual Development there is al
ways a sense OF pleasure IN the exercise of
power, but this pleasure has to he subordi-
mated to the good Of society; and this is one
of the first necessary steps TO successful social
growth. SO the young boy who is, even
among US more frequently cruel than svm-
pathetic, may 60 through period Of buy
ing, etc, to become refined and sympathetic
man, full of generous impulses, say this is
the ordinary method. but, us might be eI-
pected, some boys never become klndtv, and
some, instead, grow from cruel to brutal, and
end as social pests 1t supposed that the

doubt if this is the only Interpretation of the
treatment of the mouse BY the cat and Of his
victim by the hon.
There are children who infict torture on
every kind of living thing Thus l have
known a child of tender years begin by pull
ing of the wings of flies, then proceed TO
bake frogs, and next to take birds and bore
out their eyes, and later still try to iniure
| any child who might fall into his power I
| have known such children kick cats and dogs
to death, OF set light to Them or pour boiling
water over them, the fiendIsh pleasure being
increased if the young Of the animals were
thus reduced TO starvation. The morally I'M
developed child has been pointed out to me
by several devout friends as a proof Of the
existence Of the devil as well as Of the truth
of the doctrine of original sin, and l OWL
their actions go far to satisfy those who seek
such support do not know Of any age a,
which this brutality may not develop, as

In one such the vice and cunning were ex

THE OLD ROCKING CHAIR.

Out she was not my grandmother them,
And her pert little faco was bewitchingly fair
As she laughed defiance to meni
Her sunbonnet fiutter'd like bird on its string,
Her hair wandered free On the breeze;
And gayly ween did my grandmother sing
Underneath those old gnarid apple trees
Ny grandfather rode through the white orchard

And tethered his roam to q tree;
He'd well powdered wig on his silly young pate'
And high tasserd boots to bis kneei
From the pink apple blossoms that over MIN nung'

And nv merry young grandmother sat.

Young ladies, misses in their teens and
well grown school girls have simple and in
expensive house dresses for afternoons and
for quiet evening entertainments, made Of
fine wooleus, such as cashmere or camel's
hair, in the pretty old rose shades, in pale
empire green of grayish hues, in the clear
French blue shades and in light pearl gray.
These dresses are high in the neck and have
long or at least half long sleeves, with fanci-
fulswaists plated from top to bottom, and q
round yoke outlined b. gimp or oy velvet
ribbon The sleeves are then tucked or
plated their entire length, and the skirt is
also in plaits The shirred yokes are also
liked for these youthful gowns. Ribbon is
the only trimming used for such gowns, and
in the model quoted it forms the collar,
cravst bow, cuffs and sash; other gowns
similarly made have also ribbon border on
the skirt The velvet ribbons that are now
so inexpensive are very becoming for such
trimmings, and some dreSsinakers use tho
brocaded ribbons also White crepelne and
other white WOODS are made by this design
| and trimmed with Persian brocaded ribbons
that have golden grounds and richly colored
| figures. -Halper's Bazaar

1t was at L. B. Shows. Let's see-two,

voice as a reporter reached the house last
evening. The proportion held good so far as
raiment was concerned, but if the pretty
forms in the garments usually reserved for
the male sex were those Of 'bovs" the young
men might find it profitable to pose for art
lists One of the boys" had sought to dis
guise himself with stage mustache and
goatee of cotton, but the clear complexion
and sparkling eyes were not those Of Cleve-
land young man. There were dudes and
handsome, clever young fellows, who ap-
parently earned livelihood in intellectual
occupations, and they were witty and clever
beyond the usual standard of dinner parties
The ''girls" ranged from prim, plainly clad
old maid to attractive young ladies who are
| probably unmarried, because they would be-
content with nothing short Of presidents.
It was o'clock when the party fell in line
and proudly marched to the flower decked
library. A young lady at the head of the
line rendered on a mouth organ Mendels-
sohn's wedding march with great fervor and
enthusiasm The happy bridal couple took
their station under the traditional floral
piece, and the officiating young lady, assum-
ing the solemn tone Of an official, conducted
the ceremony. After fitting Introductory re-
marks the groom was asked: Dare you
promise that you will love, honor and obey
this, your future wife; earn by the sweat of
your brow her clothes and hoard, get in the

Mr. Labouchere gave, in his cabled CORE
spondence to The World few days ago, his
explanation Of the fact that American girls
are cutting out English girls in the matri-
monial market:
| should say that the main reason is that the
American girl is not so missy as her English
sister and tina; She is brought up TO run down her
own game. In England the notion still prevails
that girl is sure to get into mischief If she has
not mother or something of that sort at her
elbows She herself resents this and takes it out
IN fast conversation and slangy ways, so that she
becomes singular mixture OF the doll and tho
tomboy. Her small talk is OF the very smallest
small talk Her mother is always by her with
palpable suggestions OF marriage which fright
ems of all snitOr. The American girl has a
natural taste for clothes. They seem to belong to
her, and whatever she may wear is put on to best
advantage She knows how to talk agreeably,
and being always quite at casa puts all thoss with
whom she Is thrown AT ease.
To this an Ensl sh resident Of this city re-
plies in rather a tart note, from which We
extract the following:
This is the beauty OF the English girl: She does
not hunt round for a husband her idea is not
simply TO get married, and as quickly as possible,
but TO get married happily and the small number
Of divorces in England shows that she succeeds
1t is not very difficult for pretty girl 70 get
husband, and this, must say the American girls
are very well up to; but it is much more difficult
10 keep a husband, make him comfortable and
stick 10 his wife and in this the English girl Is far
ahead of her American sisters.
We do not think that the marriage Of q
dozen or two American girls to Englishmen
is likely TO affect the ''home market very
much in either country. As a rule, the
young women Of both stations marry their
own countrymen, and it is probably very
much better that they should do So Indi-
vidual exceptions prove nothing except vg-
riatious in the general taste and tendency.
Mr.. Labouchero knows the girls of both
countries better than most Englishnen or
Americans do, and we suspect there is con-
siderable truth in his observations upon the
differences in the two. The American girl
OF the best type certainly knows how to
dress, 70 talk, to appear and to look out for
herself to best possible advantage Her en-.
vironment, her education, the freedom ac
corded to her and the respect paid TO her al
conspire to make her what she is, the para
gon of her sex.
As to keeping husbands, the American
wives keep all who are worth keeping-and
a good many who are not! The absence Of
divorces does not always indicate that mar
riagee are happy An American wife O
spirit will not endure many things that SOM
English wives appear 10 accept either as
matter of course or Is inescapable. And be
countrymen glory in her spunk. New Yorl

Examining history. then, think wc must
come to the conclusion that tho Roman ideas
of marriage had net a bad effect either on
the happiness or morals of the women II
we take the period OF Roman history from
$50 b. c. to $50 A. D.. We shall be surprised
at the number Of the women of whom it is
recorded that they wore loved ardently by
their husbands, exercised beneficial iniiu-
ence on them, and helped them in their Do
litical or literary work. Many of these wo-
men had received an excellent education.
they were capable and thoughtful and took
an active interest in the welfare of the state.
1t is well known that it was Cornelia. tbs
mother OF the Gracchi, that inspired her sons
with the resolution to cope with the evils
that beset the state, and her purpose did not
wayer when she knew that they had to facs
death in their country's cause Julia, the
daughter Of julius Caesar, and the wife of
Pompey, kept the two leaders on good terms
as long as she lived, and acted with great
sweetness and prudence Cornelia, Pornpey's
second wife, was woman of great culture
and most faithful and devoted wife. 4 Con.

Some one of the inquisitive people who are
always asking for personal opinions on mat
tiers Of state, has at last approached the great
servant girl question, and written lot Of
letters to different ladies asking them if their
son or brother was going to marry either a
servant girl or a factory girl which would
Grade f,nrefsr. The answers are almost unani-
r x ly in favor of the factory girl Some
Il, q hey would not care to sit at table with
maid who had formerly served them;
: honestly admit they don't know why
prefer the factory girl, but they "feeln
way 1t is, of course, nearly always un-
- mate for a man to marry out OF his
own class and traditions; but if be is deter
mined TO marry in a lower sphere than his
own, il is hard to see in what respects the
factory girl is superior to her sister the house
maid. Everything else being equal, it would
seem that the servant girl could more
easily adapt herself to her husbands way of
life than the other. For one thing, she would
have had an opportunity to pick up many of
the manners and ways Of the people she had
served. If she had lived in q fashionable
house no belle could be more familiar with
society" than she True, she would have
seen the picture from the reverse side, but as
point of view it + not To be despised Then
her association would have been apt to be
less vulgarizing than those Of the factory
CIR. OF course it is hardly to be expected
that even to obtain good servants a woman
would be willing TO have her son or brother
marry her maid, but this feeling" that
household service Is more degrading than
other labor is at the bottom of the servant
question. Girls will not enter service when
they know they are ranked lower than their
sisters in tho f1"tnr.s. They prefer instead
infinitely hlrtiei l;a5r and poorer living.
Both ways It is question of feeling" and
