There is rivalry in the House of Repre-
sentatives between three as to which
possesses the highest manly charms. During
the last Congress Mr.. Gibson, of Maryland,
held undisputed sway. He was called the Apollo
ample of how handsome member might be
But now Mr.. McCoallough, of Pennsylvania, dis
pures his claim He has not small feet, nor
as shapely legs Mr.. Gibson, but he has
beautiful blonde whiskers. fresh, rosy com
pexiou, and eyes which some contend entitle
him to the crown. Gibson, too, is blonde, but
not of such clear type.
But there is swarrhy Southerner who dis
putes the claim of both. He was in Congress
once before, but that was some years ago, and
but for term. He has dark skin, pen
etratine black eyes, and moustache black
a crows wing and reaching nearly TO his
shoulder either side. Blackburn's moustache
was never so long. This is Major Latham. Of
North Carolina.
William Walter Phelps's bangs have got thin
and he has got g careworn look. But he is
fastidious about his dress and his hair, if he
has lost some of his good looks.
There are but two men who claim the dis
tinction of being the ugliest men in Congress.
These are Henderson, of North Carolina, and
Lyman, of Ohio. Neither wears the least hair
mis- face, and both proud of the
eccentricity of their features. Mr.. Henderson
is said to be vain of the force of character
shown by his facial outline, while his rival
thinks the amiability of his countenance
than colnpensates for any of
regularity in outline.
A point OF vanity with the North Carolinian
is said to be that he has the smallest feet in the
House.

LONDON, Jan. 13.-It requires but very
hasty perusal Of Lord Salisbury's Liverpool
speech to establish the conviction that the To-
ries determined that they will not resign
their control Of the government even in the
face of vote of want of confidence. The Pre-
mier has practically declared that he and his
colleagues will remain in Office until the legal
expiration OF their terms, and there is no
question of importance upon which a majority
against the government would exceed bakers
dozen-if indeed. an adverse vote is at all pos
sible-the outlook of the opponents of the Min
istry for return to power is very poor at present
Mr.. Parnell has decided that he will not speak
at Cork, as he had intended to do, nor will he
speak at any other place during the remainder of
the parliamentary recess. Though the home

been for the last three months. he is far from
being a well man, and realizes the Importance of

give them. The Dublin Express predicts that
the amendments-the adoption of which goes

The Women of Mexico.

correspondence of Philadelphia Record
Whoever comes to Mexico in search of female
beauty is liable to meet with disappointment;f for
though the dreamy dark eyes and raven hair of
the Castilian- Mexican type is very attractive,
the truth is more handsome women on
the streets of any northern city in half hour
than he find in year at the Aztec capital.
One reason for this is that aristocratic danes
and damsels seldom go upon the streets at all,
except in their closed carriages, and women of
the lower classes are too hard worked and un-
kempt to retain beauty beyond their early
youth In the exclusive circles of the Mexican
upper-tendon are some very beautiful women.
The wife of President Diaz has claims to that
distinction, and so have few others in official
circles The 1ovellesr girl in the City of Mexico

st. James's Gazette.
At the last meeting of the Royal Society. OF
Edinburg, DIR. John Murray, of the Challenger
expedition. made communication on The
Height and Volume of the Dry Land aud the
Depth and Volume of the Ocean" According
to his investigations, Engineering says, the
mean height of the land of the globe was 2, $50
feet above the sea level. and the mean depth of
the ocean was II $50 feet, or 2, $50 fathoms If
the ocean were regarded being divided into
two parts by the 1.000fathom line, It would be
found that the mean depth of the area having
less depths than 1000 fathoms was 2,02S feet,
or 33S fathoms, or nearly the same depth be-
meath the sea as the height of the dry land
above it On the so,9 ether oh ,ns
is Ia. $40 feet 2. 440 fathoms. The former
area-called by DR. Murray the transitional
area'-occupies "a 000. 600 square miles; and the
latter area, which is the abysmal area and is sit
uated fully three miles below the average
heights of the continents, occupies 113 600, 600
square miles for more than half of the surface
of the earth. In the transitional area OF the
ocean there are many and varied conditions in
respect of light. heat currents. changes of level
the character and variety of the deposits, and in
the animals and plants which inhabit the varl-
GUS parts of the region.
The deposits in most respects similar to
those which make up very large part of the
sedImentery formation OF the dry land. In the
aoySmal area there is uniform set of cOndi-
tons, the temperature being the freezing
point, with an annual range not exceeding 70
life. There is great abundance of animal life;
but the forms from various parts of the area
are very similar and unlike those of shallower
waters, and the deposits. which accumulate
slowly, are unlike any of the sedmentary depos-
its of the dry land. From Dr. Murray's nvesti-
cations it also appears that if the dry land of
the globe were reduced to the sea level by being
removed to and piled up in the shalower waters
of the ocean, then it's extent would be about S0,-
600 600 square miles, and the rest of the surface
of the earth would he covered by ocean ex-
tending to lib, 600. 900 square miles Again,
should the whole of the solid land be reduced to
one level under the ocean. then the earth would
be covered by ocean with a uniform depth of
about two miles.
