Stole Over $4,000.

BosToS, Oct. 10. Frank Arey, q years
old, who has been looked upon for the
past two years as one Of the prominent
young men OF Jamaica Plain, is in durance
vile for the embezzlement Of $1,000 from
the B. +. Sturtevant company, fan blower
manufacturers. According TO his own
confession, his wrongdoings were the re-
suit Of premeditation, and the manner OF
his obtaining the money was ingenious
enough to fool the company's auditors
and the four other clerks, through whose
hands the payrolls passed.

Are Women Responstb.eo .

It was Marguerite Of Valois who
said, with unusual severity for q wo-
man, that 1.-The less one sees and knows
men the higher one esteems them"
It Is obvious that the cynical Mar
garet really meant to say that the bet
ter one knows men the greater is ones
contempt for them.
These sharp-tongued assaults are in
teresting and diverting as specimens Of
satirical raillery, but to the analytical
mind they present nothing worth while
The simple truth is, women do not
hold such sentiments towards men;
though every one knows that to a con-
siderable extent they would be justi-
fed in SO holding. The general atti-
tude Of women Is one Of seeming wor-
shipful admiration. This Is bad, espe-
cially for very young men, who are
thus puffsd up by conceit and made
unspeakably disagreeable, whereas
were they let alone they might disclose
a becoming measure Of modeSty and
self-distrust. It Is about time for wo.
men to face the fact that they are d.
rectly chargable with most Of the IN
pleasing characteristics Of man. They
constantly feed his vanity; they habitu-
ally practice duplicity and In their in
tercourse with him the note of SINGER
ity is seldom heard. Naturally the
man desires the "clinging trust of the
woman, but he Is too dull-headed to
perceive that what he takes for cling
ing trust is clever diplomacy, and it
is an axiom that the only way to be
come a clever diplomat is to cultivate
deceit.
The Washington bee., 1893-11-04
The First Consul.

Just before the review began we saw
several officers Ia gorgeous uniforms
ascend the stairs one OF whom, whose
helmet seemed entirely of gold, was
Eugene de Beauharnais. a few min
utes afterwards there was a rush Of
officers down the stairs, and among
them / saw short, pale man, with his
hat in his hand, who resembled Lord
Erskine in profile. But, though my
friend whispered, "C'est lui,' I did not
comprehend that I beheld Bonaparte
till 1 saw him stand alone at the gate
In another moment he was on his
horse, while I, trembling with emotion,
gazed on him intently, endeavoring to
commit each expressive, sharply -chis-
eled feature to memory, contrasting
also with admiration his small, simple
hat, adorned with nothing but a little
tri-cOlored cockade, and his blue coat,
gultless Of gold embroidery, with the
splendid adornments Of the officers
who followed him.
At length the review ended-too soon
for me. The First Consul sprang from
his horse. We threw open our door
again, and, as he slowly reascended
the stairs, we saw him very near us,
and In full face, while his bright, rest
less, expressive and, as we fancied,
dark blue eyes beaming from under
long black eyelashes, glanced over us
with a scrutinizing but complacent
look.-Mrs. Opie, In Tait's Magazine,
