Miss Hargons, nondoir.

Here is a description of the beautiful
Miss Hargous' boudoir.-She is a dark
eyed Spanish looking woman, and the
room was furnished with a view to form
ing Il becoming background for her WI
loneliness. The walls are of rough I'm
ished plaster, colored a pale, dull gold,
The hangingS and carpets are the am
uull green and the curtains are embroid-
cred with gold of q tint to match the
walls. On either side of the deep tiled
fireplace, with brass andirons, is q wide
lounge. That on the right is covered
with a tiger skin, the head of it lying N
the Hoor and making q footstool for the
occupants slim, slippered feet. This and
the opposite lounge, which is covered
with d black bear skin, are heaped with
cushions of q pale gold and a red that is
almost black it is SO dark. At the end of
one of these lounges stands q tall scrolled
brass lamp with a pale gold shade and
underneath it a table of pierced copper
work from Persia, which holds a set of
Perian porcelain cups and saucers and an
old Persian silver teapot for afternoon
tea. On either side of the window stands
q big dull red earthen jar, which holds a
tall palm that is almost a tree, and the
two form an arch of green over the win
dow. There is a long Louis Quinze table
near the window, fitted up with all the
appliances of writing, in silver. There
are book shelves, many deep, soft chairs
and a Louis .Quinze cabinet, holding
some very rare and beautiful bits of
Venetian glass, which, with the etchings
that hang on the wall, are the beauty's
special weakness, and into which all the
money she can spare from her wardrobe
is invested.

The Democratic wave.

If only New Jersey had gone Demo
cratic, the result might have been at
tributed to local issues; but the sweep
ing victories of the party all v the
country compel a consideration of the
political situation from a national
point of view. 1t is evident that some
general cause was at work (which
affected all sections in the same way,
and which had very strong influence
upon the people.
1t is only few months since Presi-
dent Harrison was inaugurated under
unusually favorable auspicee. 1t is
only a year since he was elected to
the chief magistracy by signal
majorities. He personally, his party
and the principles they represented
had the emphatic approval of the
public at that time. Moreover he had
just passed through a heated cam
paign without detriment to his repu-
tation-such az it was-for purity and
ability. He had besides a powerful
backing in Congress such as his pre-
decessor had never enjoyed. All
these advantages were unimpaired at
the the dateHof his Inauguration and
the glamour Of lhat occasion went far
to confirm the sentiment of the empty
headed portion of the community in
his behalf. On the evening OF that
day things looked black for the Demo
cratic party. That is the only way to
put it. 1t seemed as if the Republi-
can party were starting out again on
a long lease of power.
Isit not true that il Mr.. Harrison had
again been the candidate for the Pres
idency or any other high office, last
Tuesday, he would have been disas.
tronsly defeated Can anyone pre-
tend to doubt that in addition to New
York and New Jersey he would have
certainly lost Ohio and Massachusetts.
and probably Indiana, Michigan,
Iowa, and California Is there any
sort of certainty, indeed, that he
would have carried any State in the
Union except Pennsylvania and YER
mont Would Pennsylvania, even,
have been sure ?
Wherefore the change
1t is a sad story, all the more SO be-
cause the alteration in public feeling
Is only partly due to a change i'm Opin-
ion upon the principles of Republi-
eanisln. The people have only par

lican leaders; they only half realize
The centralizing C@saristic tendencies
Of the Republican party. They are

The Model Fisherman.

1 was fishing last summer in a lake in
Canada. But few people lived near. 1t
was d considerable distance from a rail
road station, and it was almost impos-
sible to send fish home. 1t was easy,
therefore, to catch more than could be
used. Ihad just captured a fine bass and
said to my boatmen: Put him back; /
have had all the sport L a get out of
him. / well remember the look of sur
prise upon his countenance as he re
Piled

ketch?n

| never waste fish. l am here for the
sport Of catching them and for the pleas
ure of being upon this beautiful lake and
breathing this pure air. You saw What
a tuSsle had with that bass and how I'M
certain it was for some time whether he
would or would not get away. But | got
him, and now he is back again in the
water as good as ever, and tomorrow he
may be game for some one else. Why
should we fill the boat with fish that we
can't use and waste them?'
by thunder, . said he, "theydon't many
act that way. Why, not long ago Irowed
for two gentlemen from the States. They
wouldn't put back a single fish, and
every day they ketched more than they
could use or give away. They actually
wasted more than a hundred big bass.
If they'd all do as you do this lake
wouldn't get tished out."-Amertcdn

A Wo1f Foster-Mother.

Some twenty months ago a colored
woman living in Texas on the banks of
the Brazos, missed her three months old
baby from the pallet where h had left 1t
living during an absence of a few minutes.
Search was made for the infant, but nc
trace of it could be discovered, and the
whole affair vas wrapped III profound
mystery until a few days ago.
A party of gentlemen were riding
through a somewhat unfrequented por-
ton of the thick woods thar border the
river, when they were startled by seeing
q strange object run across the road.
Thinking at first sight sight that it was q
wild animal. several of the party were
about to fire OF it, when the one who had
been nearest it called to them not to
shoot, but to ride it down instead. This
was done with difficulty, for the under
brush was thick, but at last he creature
was overtaken in a dense copse. 1t was
half running, half leaping, first on all
fours and then nearly upright.
The gentlemen ~dismounted and at
tempted to lay hands on it, but chatter
ing frightfully and savagely biting and
scratching, 1t broke away from them.
They could see that it had Il human face,
though the brown body was covered with
long, tangled hair, and the nails of the
feet and hands so long and curved as to
be claws. 1t ran with incredible swift
ness, getting over fallen trees and dense
masses of creepers at a rate that obliged
its pursuers to exert themselves TO the
to the utmost to keep it in view.
1t finally ran into an immense oak tree
that lay uprooted in the ground and the
hollow trunk of which formed a yawning
cavern. BY dint of poking in the tree
with sticks the party succeeded in driv-
ing out an old wolf, which Immediately
took to its heels. 1t was not pursued as
it was not the object sought. This, too,
was finally dislodged and lassoed with a
lariat made of hides. 1t bit and scratched
so fiercely that it was thought advisable
not to approach it, so it was half dragged,
half led home with the lariat about its
neck, bowling and yelping like a wolf.
The fact of the colored woman's child
having disappeared was well known to
all, and 1t was decided that this must be
the child. The old wolf had evidently
stolen it and for some eason adopted it
as its own. The mother declared that
this conjecture was correct, claiming
that her child had had d malformation of
one ear, which popularity was found'in
the monster, It is kept tied up in her

Chinese Girls and Matrlmony.

English and American girls occasionally
commit suicide through disappointment
at not getting married; but it will sur
prise them to learn that the Chinese
young ladies lave such a dread of the
matrimonial claim that they frequently
prefer death to marriage. "Of all peo-
ple,' ? said CONTIGUOUS, women are the
most difficult to manage. If you are ia
miliar with them they become forward.
and if you keep them at a distance they
become disconnected" So many are the
disabilities of married women, that many
girls prefer going into Buddhist or Tauist
nunneries, or even committing suicidel to
trusting their future to men of whom
they know nothing but from the inter-
ested reports of the go betweens.
Archbishop Gray, in his work on China,
states that in 1878 eight young girls re-
siding near Canton, who had been aft
anced, drowned themselves in order to
avoid marriage. They clothed themselves
in their best attire, and at eleven o'clock.
in the darkness of the night, having
bound themselves together, threw
themselves into a tributary stream of the
Canton r ver."-Young Ladies' Journal.
