She had three competitors-Miss Lisle Of

the choice.
The house gave one position to lady,
that of recording clerk, and the successful
candidate was Miss Emma S. Whitney, Of

Especial Correspondence
NEW YORK, Jan 1S-Some of the edi-
tors of great newspapers who are famous
have recently received propositions from
publishers for writing a series of rerninis-
cences or memoirs or something that will
embody such experiences as these editors
may deem interesting. None of them has
accepted such proposal except Colonel Nc
Clure, the editor of the Philadelphia Times,
who has been writing in a chatty and most
interesting way some of mis- recollections of
Lincoln. These papers are not only de
lightful reading, but they have much his
torical Importance. They suggest, too. the
value which might be attached to volumes
written by other editors whose experience
goes back to the days before the civil war
The great editor of today, however, IS
either too busy, too prosperous or too mod
est, and it is likely that we shall have to
content ourselves with such works as have
already appeared, which have been written
by editors who in the past gained fame

An Englishman who, after grumbling

why he chose that far away part of the

Ugly Girls.

Most ugly girls have something pretty
about them, and the few who know that
they cannot claim even this limited endow
ment become pathetic to men OF a generous
mind, exciting pity, and we all know what
Dity is akin to under favorable conditions
/ recall maiden of this stamp who Sc
cured a handsome and devoted husband by
her very hopelessness of winning his prefer
ence by the tender humility of her worship
of himself. Living in the same house, the
constant appeal to his chivalry became
more powerful at last than all the varied
charms of other women he might have
won.
Ugly girls, however, generally carry their
consolation with them in blessed uncon
sciousness of their want of good looks
Have we not all seen them stand before a
mirror noting the effect of color or new
fashion with an undisguised expression
of admiration on their facesf--very much
like the ugly young man who ties ms
crayat and smiles at his image in the glass
with the comforting mental comment
SNot handsome, but fascinatingP
The statement that ugly girls are gen
orally left to run to waste as unappro
priated blessings" is not supported by evi
dence. Who has not met wives az ugly as
any old maid in his list of acquaintances'
1t is safe to make the broad generalization
that an ugly girl, all other things being
equal, is likely to have fewer offers than a
pretty girl but quite as likely to receive
Che one offer which will make her happy
wife. 1t may be doubted whether piu
rality of lovers is an unmixed advantage te
agirl, one good lover, the elect man, at
tracted to her by affinity in its highest
sense is forever enough. Francis Alber'

The death of the distinguished peeress,
the Marquise de Talleyrand-Perigord,
whose son married an American, Mrs.
Adele Stevens, revives stories Of her
beauty. It was her habit to drive to
balls in an enormous landau with many
windows, and to prevent disarrangement
of her marvellous toilets she always stood
in her carriage.
She had a remarkably small foot, but
in this respect a rival beauty, Baroness
de Vatry, competed closely with her. II
is related that zone evening, entering a
ballroom, she discovered that she had
lost one of her satin slippers when de-
scending from her carriage. Seating
herself next to the Baroness de Vatry
the marquise said:
"T cannot dance without slipper
"'Never mind, said Nine. de Vatry
with little malice; 4 shall lend you ont
of mine: think it will fit you
"'Thank you, but shall put 1t OF
over the slipper that remains
"And she did, to the horror of he
