Chilean Beauties.

While the general thought OF to-day
IN regard to Chile has bcllicosc tend
ency, it is pleasant TO turl TO a more
peaceful subject in connection with the
little republic. 1t matters not how rough
the heart of man may be, he is generally
susceptible to beauty, and thoughts of a
more gentle conquest may reign when we
forget the men in the contemplation of
the women OF Chile. The races of the
North, who are for the most part fair,
are prone to acknowledge the beauty of
their dark-eyed Southern sisters. The
standard of beauty may not be SO high
that is, it may lack the regularity Of
feature that is SO charming, the classic
simplicity which possesses grace OF its
own-but the women Of the warmer lqti.
tudes have certain coquetry that is
more or less irresistible. Especially so
is it in the case of the creole and Spanish
types which are found in Chile. The
women all affect the black shawl, or
manta, and this is the regulation morn
ing and church attire, no woman ever
going to mass without this simple wrap.
Some travellers 60 so FAR as to assert that
it is this mauta which lends SO much
charm to the wearer, and makes her at
tractive, while without it she might not
receive second glance. This may be
true, but no matter how beautiful Car
men might be, there would be something
lost throughout the entire opera did she
not wear her manta. Those who have
seen Carmen can appreciate the charm OF
the women of Chile, in whose veins ruls
the Spanish blood. THERE'S coquetry in
every motion, suggestive of sly exchange
OF notes at the church porch, under the
eyes OF the Hatchlul ducnna. In Chile,
however, the women do not suffer the
tlresome chaperonagc that Is undergone
by their Spanish sisters; but perhaps
that is one of the advantages Of re.
public. Why, they even have women rs
street.Car conductors, but it must be sad
that the manta docs not play part in
the collection Of fares, which is common
place unler any circumstances. Tnc
women were put on during the war with
Peru, when men were scarce, aud all
needed at the front. These conductors,
however, are many of them very attrac.
tive, and the youth OF Valparaiso is not
inclined to SIT inside toe car while
pretty young woman stands on the outer
platform. The Saxon type is not un-
common in Chile, but one cannot recon.
cile the idea of their special dress under
uch circumstances, and the best eX-
lmples Of Chilean beauty arc distinctive.

Crime In High Life.

The recent tragedy in n hotel at
Cannes, France, is of peculiar interest
here, Mr.. Edward Parker Deacon. the
slayer of his wife's parmour at the Hotel
Splendide in that city, being former
Bostonian and a grandson of the late
Peter Parker of this city. His wife is
the daughter of Rear Admiral Charles
III. Baldwin, recently deceased, and she
was justly looked upon as the hand
soonest woman in the swell circles of
Newport, r. l., where the family had
an elegant summer residence. 1t is the
old, old story of a handsome and wealthy
but INSCRIPTIONS villain coming in be-
tween man and wife, alternating the lat
ter's affections, with the usual dcnou-
ment Of such cases-murder.
Primitive Mode of Travelling.
An aged couple two months since
started from a short distance beyond
Chicago for Boston, their means of
transit being n pair of decrepit horses
and an old. fashioned wagon such aS
used to be employed years ago and
known rs 'pralrie schooner.
One of the horses became exhausted
at Bridgeport, Ct, and charitable
citizen there subscribed Sl2 to replace
the loss. Another broken-down animal
was secured, and the old couple con-
tinued on their way. On reaching New
Haven they applied for aid from the
authorities, but We're refused on the
ground that they We're transient beg

Cancellation That Doesn't Conciliate.
Cancellation is the heading Of an arti-
Gle In the 7'mCs of yesterday. The article
declares that il should be remembered that
itisone thing TO nominate and another thing
10 elect: that over the grave of Mr.. BARnouR
should be hushed all Of our party dissen-
eions, and that that paper is distinctly in
favor of that policy which will at once
maintain the cause of the Democratic prin-
cples impersonated by CLEyELASD. &c.
&C., sc.
We do not concedo the Tmess assump-
ton that the convention is 10 be q CLEyE-
LIND BODY. and we think that the Times
rather spois its efforts at Cancellation
when il SAYS:
Whichever wing Of the Democracy, Cleveland
or anti Teland. msy prevail In numbers, each
ride should bo represented In the delegation AZ
large 10 roice h0rercr the ristrs Of he majority,
% that It may be understood when the campaign
opens that whoever may De the nominee the
Democratic party OF Virginia win be unit ia
lie support We want no triumphs over our
friends, much less do we want any defections,
heartburnings, or even lukewarmness."
We like to Guido everybody else IN
efforts at Cancellation, but We believe the
Times claims too much when It speaks Of
"voicing the views of the majority" As
we have said elsewhere, there will be few
or no boilers in Virginia. The southern
States are obliged 10 support the nominee
of tho Democratic National Convention.
Our apprehension that the Times is not az
cOncilstory as il thinks il is is increased
ty tho following from that paper;
"Goochiand county yesterday elected Hi dole
