Queen Amelie, the wife of the king

A traveller who has canvassed the
country says that the most beautiful
women in the United States are to be-
found in Richmond. Farther north, ;"
according to this authority, they are
too stout; farther south they are too
scrawny.
Unqualified assertions are rarely
worthy of acceptance, but while beauty
is confined TO no particular latitude the
capital Of the Old Dominion has un-
loubtedly furnished her full quota TO
the list of Americas fair women. Set
tied as the state was by English aristoc-
racy and delicately nurtured and pro-
tected from the weighing effects of
household drudgery as the daughters
and granddaug of these patricians
were, heredity and circumstances were
alike favorable to the production of the
most refined types of female loneliness.
One reads of Virginia beauties who
graced the republican court" in Phil
adelphia when the Quaker City was the
seat of government, and, history repeat
ing itself, hears in more recent times OF
fair daughters of the soil who have
spread their conquests far beyond the

Especial to "The Jersey city News''l
TRENTON, May 4, 1ssS.-The report
that General Sewell would be appointed
Major General in the Volunteer Army and
would resign from the United States SEN
ate set the tongues of all the political
gossips a-wagging this morning. If the
General should resign from the Senate 1t
would devolve upon Governor Voorhees,
the duty of appointing his successor to
serve until the Legislature meets next
winter. Everyone asked the question who
would be the lucky man? 1t was recog-
nized that there was not much emolument
nor honor outside of the mere title of Sem
.ator il the short term; but It was also
recognized that the man who received the
appointment would go before the Legis-
lature next winter with an excellent
chance of securing the election for the
full term, provided the Legislature should
be Republican. 1t was suggested that the
Governor might appoint John Kean and
satisfy the ambition of Union, and at the
same time heal the wounds of defeat
of that young man. Franklin Murphy
was also spoken of as a possible candi-
date and so was Judge Frank Fort OF
Essex 1t was believed, however, that Mr..
Voorhees, has enough sense to look out
for himself and that the gentleman Wnom
he would appoint would be some one VINO
is prominently mentioned as candidate
for Governor. With his strongest rival
deep in the fight for the Senatorshlp, ms
path to the Guberna torial nomination Will
be much less thorny.
