The Real Cleopatra.

From the London Spectator.
What WAS the inner character OF
Cleopatra? A vOluptuous woman OF
the east, say the Romans, eager TO
epchain any master of Roman army
by the foulest arts, but the Roman
oligarchy not only hated, but dread
ed Cleopotrs. 70 them she was not
only Asia incarnate, but the repre-
sentative of that regal" sway that
rules by volition instead of by ira
dirional order, which, with their
ststesmanlike instinct, they saw the
triumphant aristocrat whom their
system tended to produce would ulti-
mately desire. They cursed her as
the greatest of Asiatic harlots, where
as she was Greek, aud used her
charms chiefly as instruments to at.
tain her ends, which were, fret of all
the empire of the East, which her an
cestors had striven for generations
to acquire-and very nearly &C.
quired-and to defeat the half civil
lized and hesdless Roman power,
which she hated with the hatred of q
monarch and despised with the con-
tempt of q true Greek. Who were
these bsrbarians that they should
conquer men who were polished when
they were savages? She always Sc
lected the same lover, the head OF the
invading Roman army, and always
used him to help her In founding, as
she hoped, the empire of the East.
Her attractive power WAS probably
not her beauty. Her coins DO not re.
veal beautiful woman, but Q broad
browed, thoughtful Queen, and Plu.
tarch, in describing her, evldeHt ly
speaks on the authority of men whose
fathers had studied her face.
He says: "Her actual beauty, 1t lie
said, was not in itself so remarkable
that none could be compared with her
or that no one could see her without
being struck by it. but the contact OF
her presence. il you lived with her,
was irresistat lie; the attraction of her
person, Joining with the charm of her
conversation and the character that
attended all she said or did, was
something bewitchirg. 1t was a
pleasure merely to hear the sound of
her voice, with which, like an instru-
ment of many strings, she could
pass from one language 10 another, 20
that there were few of the barbarian
nations that she answered by an
interpreter; to most of them she spok G
herself, as to the Ethiopians, Troglo
dytes, Hebrews, Arsbisns, Syri.ns,
Modes, Parthians and many others,
whose language she had learned"

The carriage of the New York woman
Is becoming something painful to con-
template. She is so erect she bends back
ward. Grace is the last attribute one
would think OF ascribing to her, but 1t
must be confessed she wins her darling
wish to look tall. The professions OF
square shoulders, high-held heads and
trained gowns that fill the streets when
tho autumn sun smiles and the bright
leaves come nuttering down is simply
awe-inspiring. 1t ais a daily demonstra-
tion that this Is indeed the woman's cen
tury.
The woman emphasizes her freedom by
wearing velvet. Her winter coats are TO

NOTES OF THE TRIP.

some Things tho Legislators Saw mt
Cranston.
At the state prison and county jail the
chief interest seemed to center In the
murderer Lanni, whom it was easy to
pick out when at shop or at dinner on
account of the absence Of hair on his
head. Spike" Murphy commanded his
share of attention, while number went
around to the cell to see Gentleman
George" Elwood. He was Kicking as
be allowed the liberty of the prison
grounds. Gen. Wall, after telling the
party how Elwood escaped from the Ohio
psnitentiary by putting on the warden's
clothes and walking out with the crowd,
said they wanted him back, but he "will
would re difficult for anyone to seal out
in Gen. Wallis clothes; they would hang
rather loose on most men.
Al the workhouse which was next
visited there was man named Michael
sullivan who was at work on some wood
carving. which was fine work of It's kind.
The man was In Central Falls about 80
minutes one day and asked for drink
when be had nothing to pay for 1t. He
wns considered sturdy beggar and
given six months. Ho belongs in Boston
and claims he was merely of on time"
and got broke.
In the insane asylum there are about
577 patients where there are accommoda-
tions for only AZ. The law regarding COM
mitments was considered faulty, as the
appearance OF an insane person in court
Is often the worst thing that could hap
pen, as the idea that people are conspir-
ing against them which Is SO common
with insane patients. Is thereby con-
firmed and sometimes great harm Is done
when the patient NAV be affected In n
slight degree. aWhen the new asylum
building is finished there will still be an
excess OF ten patients over the accommo-
dations.

fchu filled in the throat, and her hat was
n creamy brown felt poke with three yell
low plumes rising against the small tea
cup-shaped crown behind.
Beside her sat blonde woman with
long oval face aud dark oval eyes. Her
gown was blue rep with deep band of
Greek embroidery about the skirt, over
skirt aud wide belt aud reaching nearly
to the elbows on the sleeves. The
blondes bonnet came forward on her
hair In a sharp point and then curved
back and down bit and stopped; it was
mite of a jet frame with a handful OF
fringed gentians and blue ribbons.
In time we shall weary of being Rus
sian, but the day OF fatigue has not yet
come. The extreme of the seasons 8
mania is shown in one OF the pictures.
The frock it presents is OF Scotch plaid
material in blue and red, with navy
blue blouse falling to the knees and
girdled with heavy dark blue cord. The
full sleeves are gathered into plaid cuffs,
and there is a pointed hood on the back
with a plaid lining. The fiat hat Is Of
dark blue felt with an Alsatian bow Of
plaid ribbon.
The long blouse is not graceful though
it suits some few figures. IL is ADAPTED
only for young women, bat 1t Is a matter
of course I'll at it should be seized upon by
all ages. 1t Is prettiest in the flannel and
cashmere house dresses for which it is so
largely used, with long gored skirt and
the belted tunic coming down over 1t per-
haps in the same, oftener IN a contrasting
color. Bands of embroidery initiating
Russian cross stitch are used for trim
ming, and the back, TO make a bad matter
worse. Is arranged as likely as not in a
Vatican plait, spelling tn. figure.

william 7. Lacey OF the Providence Coal

William Il. Lacey, teamer, employed by

Lacey was a driver of one Of the coal

To the Editors OF the Ne,cs:
A prominent prohibitionist Of this city told
the undersigned recently that he would vote
Tor Bidweli "if IL sent the country to hell and
the devil"
/ said: 20, you don't mean that surelys"
Josh Billings used TO use the expression
"pure cussedness," and IL the above is not q
specimen of that what isY What rant and
billingsgate is passing In the name OF prohibi-
toni
Some of my friends are frequently sending
me prohibition newspapers, like the Hdc-
pendent Ctfzen and others thinking i am a
proper subject for missionary labor and hop
ing 10 convert me, doubtless. They could not
take u better way To utterly disgust me with
their party politics and keep me out Of their
ranks. A paper, now on my desk, has the
PROVIDENCE postmark. The only caricature
have seen ON President Harrison during the
is in that paper. What bitter party politics
must that be called In one column the
editor pokcs fun at him as presbyterian
thousand rumsellers." Prohibs (as the Voice
calls them, for short supposc), are SO bitter
they cannot be either just or truthful. Who
are the "onc thousahd runseilers around the
Presidentf"
In another column Of the aforesaid paper Is
a scuIrillous attack on Hon. Elijah a. Morse,
but one OF scores of falsehoods uttered In the
name OF prohibition. l3y the way, | thought
after reading 40 much abuse heaped on good
men. from the President down, would SEQ
what the editor and contributors had to say
about the liqour traffic and men engaged In IL.
Not n word did find.
Frequently some ono sends mo n marked
copy OF the Voice. And am bound TO say
that that paper Is the most unprincpled dem
agogic sheet that ever came across In twenty
eight years of observation In political matters.
IL Is told as a fact that woman I'm Boston
considers one Of the city papers so vile n
sheet that when her husband brings 10 into
the house she picks II up with the longs and
throws 10 Into the stove. Hut that paper is
much more fair TO an opponent In politics
than the Voice is.
-. John mot the divine, but the diaboiicaD
made speech In n town where was recently
and never have heard such bitter and un-
truthful attack on the Republican party.
We see plainly enough what political prohib-
itionists want 10 do I'm the coming national
election. They want Go defeat the Republican
party. Yes, II IL sends the country 10 hell
and the devil" even.
Well, the mass Of voters are not quite 40
reckless as that and we may hope for some-
thing better, even the Reelection OF our be-
loved President Harrison.
