The French, Austrian and German
women all seem to have gone to hips and
busts. They do not compare in grace,
elegance or delicacy to the American
woman. Beauty of rare order is never
seen. The thorougbfares of Baltimore
Will disclose more beauties any day
than the entire season at Carlsbad The
salesladies in the large stores of Baltimore
are infinitely handsomer than the con-
servatory buds of Vienna, Dresden or
Berlin. Although there is, outside the
native, population of 10000 foreigners
at Carlsbad, you would not discover a
careless or freely behaved woman in the
place. What is known in America as
/" MASKING is wholly unknown at Carls-
bad. Any clear evening a thousand
tables, between 6 and Z, at Puffs, can be
seen well filed, and still larger con-
course of women and men are at the same
time promenading, but there is no more
flirting or MASKING going on between
these strangers than if they were at 8

In the Ukraine, Russia, the woman does
all the counting. When she falls in love
with man, she goes to his house and in
forms him of the state of her feelings. II
he reciprocates, all is well, and the formal
marriage is duly arranged. II, however,
he is unwilling, she remains there hoping
to coax him to better mind. The poor
fellow cannot treat her with the least
discourtesy, nor has he the consolation oil
being bile to turn her out, as her friends
in such a case would feel bound to avenge
the insult. His remedy, therefore,
II determined not to marry her, is to
leave his home and stay away as
long as she is in it. On the Isthmus oil
Darien either sex can do the courting
with the natural result that almost every
one gets married. A similar practice to
that in the Ukraine exists among the
Zuni tribe Of Indians. The woman does
all the counting, and also controls the
situation after marriage To her belong
all the children, and descent, including
Inheritance, is also on her side. The same
custom prevails among the Vigrees, a
tribe in Cabul, and the Nairs of Malabar
Among the Caro- race of Assam, in North
East India, it is not only the privilege,
but even the duty OF the girl there to
speak first; any infringement of this rule
being summarily and severely punished.

Didn,t Know Grant.

When Gen. Grant was in Ireland, in

correspondent. On the way from Dublin
to Derry the cars stopped at Portadown
and Mr.. O'Shea FASTENED into the refresh

was nibbling a sandwich and chatting
with the barmaid, when a voice at his left
quietly demanded a glass of lemonade
and a biscuit. The voice belonged to
Gen. Grant.

and was turning to go when the barmaid
said:

On Strict Party Lines.

The Hawaiian incident is said to be
attracting a great deal of attention,
public and private, in Washington,
and it is accepted as inevitable there
that the matter will receive Congress

cember.
All indications point to division
on party lines. The Republican ac-
cept Greshman's letter as a criticism
on the late administration and are
lining up in opposition to the policy
of Cleveland's administration. 1t is

that Cleveland will submit a message

shot and it is feared fatally wounded
by q negro tramp, who was trying to

which Hearn was employed. The ne

while his victim has made this his
home for some time past and has a
wife aud mother residing here. Hearn
was only recently married and his
misfortune will prove severe shock to
his young wife. After the shooting
the would-be murderer succeeded in
making good his escape. But tele-
grams giving his description ETC.,
have been sent out over all of the
roads and his capture Is practically
assured. The wounded man is being
cared for at Kildare, as it was deemed
unsafe to attempt his removal. Every
attention is being given the sufferer,
but with every slight hopes for his re-
covery, as he was twice wounded,

Bank Robbers Again.

News comes from Milton, small
town near Walls Waila, Wash, of a
daring and desperate bank robbery,
at that place. The story of the rob.
berry is told as follows: On Tuesday
afternoon three men rode into town
and dismounted in front of the Bank
OF Motion.
Two of them entered the bank,
while the third held the horses.
The two men rushed up to the
President A. Hopson, Cashier W. A.
Davis and Assistant Cashier VIM.
Hopson, who were conversing togeth-
er, and without warning began firing.
President Hopson fell with two bullets
in his body. The concussion knocked
Cashier DAVIS down. The robbers
demanded money, and William Hop
son promptly handed them a tray con
tanning $44.25. Taking this the two
men fed. They escaped in a dense fog
which greatly interfered with the
pursurers.

The Musical BARRIERS.

The Alveraz Family, known Europe
over as the Musical BARRIERS of Seville,
have been engaged by the Al. G. Field
Columbian Minstrels for the season of
1884. The performances of these
people are said to be entirely different
from anything in the musical line ev-
er seen by the American public. The
stage is set to represent the interior
of handsomely furnished barber
shop. Solos, concert musical selec-
tions, including classical and popular
airs, are played upon the razors, shay
ing cups, bowls, etc.
The barber chairs are SO construct
ed that the music produced from them
is similar to that of large church
pipe organ. Tempting offers have
been made these people by numerous
American managers heretofore, but
Mr.. Field Will have the honor of in
Producing them to the American pub
lie. If the half that is claimed for
them is true they will certainly be a
powerful magnet for the AL. c. Field
