That. both clmses exist there is, I think, no doubt, and the marks of the species are clearly recognizable. The sunny girl brightens our daily life ; there is a sunny warmth about her, which all, from peer to peasant, who approach her, are sen- sible of. The mooney girl has a brightness of her own indeed, but it is visible to the few and not to the many; besides, the sun always turns his full, glowing face to us, the moon is only in its full radiance thirteen times in the year. Lovers and poets may dream of the moon, but the work of the world must be done in the sunshine. “ Which is very romantic, my dear l’rof. Star e, but not exhaustive,” says Mr. Countup, Profes- sor of Mathematics at Omniurn College; ” men and women are merely plus or minus quantities, or married or single.

Signor de la Cherde, too, strikes in: “The poets are nearer than you all," he cries. One of them says ~. “For beauty born of murmuving sound shall pass into her face." Your good and fair women are good and fair because they are harmoni- ous ; your bad women are discards. livery variety has its counterpart in musrc. Some women are bright and rippling little fantas- ies, fascinating at first but tiresome as soon as one has. learned the air. Some are sym- houics full of deep and hidden meaning, and rounded with perfect art in every phase of their character. Some are like a Scotch jig, which makes onc's bones ache with weari- some repetitious and endless iterations. Some women are musical scales, conscien- tious, but monotonous, in the major key al- ways on the strain of effort, in the minor key always dissolving to tears. Then again we may classify characters according to colors. Thus we find blue women, drab women, and pink and white women. The first are learn- ed in blue books, blue china, and blue stock- ings; the second are hard-working and con- scientious; and the third are for show and not for use; intellect subordinate to com- plexion and health to fashion. Combine these in varying proportions and you have all known hues of character. >ooo< The Ladies Wanted Some Breakfast. A few years ago at steamer drew into the bay of Naples with a lot of passengers, among whom were a large party of Ameri- cans. The night had been rough and the ship was behind time. It was ten o‘clock al- ready, and no breakfast. The stingy captain had resolved to economize. A stout, quiet man, with a. stout hickory stick, went to the captain and begged for a little coffee, at least for his Indies. The captain turned his back, fluttered his coat tails in the face of the stout man, and walked up his deck. The stout, quiet man followed, and still respect- fully begged for something for the ladies, who were faint with hunger. Then the cup- tain turned and threatened to put him in irons, at the same time calling his officers around him. The stout man with the stout stick very quietly proceeded to thrash the captain. He thrashed him till he could not stand ; and then thrashed every officer that dared to show his face, as well as half the crew. Then he went down and made the cook get breakfast. This was an old Californian, Dave Coltou, as we used to call him up at Yreka. Of course, an act like that was punishable with dcathnlmost. 'l’irucy on the high seas' and all that sort of offence was charged; and I know not how much gold it cost to heal the wounded head and dignity of the captain of the ship. lut the Californian neither knew the law nor cared for the law. He had a little party of ladies with him, and he would not see them go hungry. 110 would have that coffee if it cost him his head. Dear Dave L‘oltonl I hear he is dead now. “'0 first got acquainted one night in Yreka while shooting at c.1011 other. aO-Dâ€"â€"â€"â€"-â€"-â€"â€" Can't Do Without it.

The new: of the capture of Iicok-l'cpc will be received with much satisfaction throughout Russia. The desperation with which the Tekkca defended their stronghold is almost unparalleled in the annals of Con- tral Asiatic warfare, and it is indeed fortu~ mate for us that the Afghans were made of different stuff from the Turkomana of the desert. over whom Gen. Skobelcll' has at but achieved a hard-fought victory. The most satisfactory feature of the Victory is that it affords the Russian (Government an opportunity of abandoning the Turkoman country. They have vindicated their prep age, captured the stronghold of their cue- mrec. and they can now follow our example in Afghanistan by abandoninc a territory which would be even more costly to hold than to conquer. Gen. Skobcletf, whose brilliant career this victory crowns with fresh Laurels, is aid to have declared that the whole of the Turkoman territory was not worth buying at the cast of a single rouble. The evacuation may be delayed, Common in clsmical antiquity were the tickets of admission to circusea and amphi- theatres. These are frequently little “ squeezes " of baked clay, the material having been pressed into moulds bearing the effigies appropriate to certain stages, as tiers of seats In the theatre, or such,” were pro- per to the city to which each belonged. For example, an elephant stood for one place or tier, an eagle for another. On the back of many of these tickets are to be seen the im- prints of the thumbs of the makers, vert- table signs-manual of classical antiquityâ€"- marks of thumbs that perished 2,000 years ago. - What Caused Sothern's Success. The late Edward A. Sothern once said that he owed his success on the stage chiefly to earnestness “doing aswell as I knew how," he added, “ never acting on the impulse of the moment, and thoroughly understanding what I had to do. Iowe much of my success to the elder 'vVallack and to Rachel. “'allaok showed me the necessity of conveying at a rehearsal what you intend to do at night, and the import- ance of paying strict attention to the min- utest detail. He was one of the most thorough stage managers I ever met. “'0 w ere like a set of school-boys under discip- line. \Yehad to give areason for every- thing, and therefore to study hard." Pinnfore’s Successor. ‘ Pinafore is to have a successor. A new nautical comic Opera is soon to invade this country. Its title is “ Billee Taylor." lie 1’. Stevens, the writer of the libretto, is a clever man, though this is his first success. The music is by Edward Solomons, and is light and catching. Tire story of the opera is foundered on the old song of “ Billy Tay- lor," a well known mariner‘s ditty, and the authors, in order to preserve the copyright of their work, spelled the name differently. It now reads “ Billee.’ The time of the action is 1805, when the press gang was in full sway. The first act opens with a view of Southampton Harbor at the old: inn of the Royal George, where the villagers have met to rejoice over the approaching wedding of Billee and Phebe, a charity girl. Two years elapse before the second act begins. The scene represents Portsmouth Harbor. Ships are coming and going, while the sail- ors and their sweethearts sit around the docks watching some seamen dancing the horupipe. In Pinaforc there are “the sis- ters, and the cousins, and the aunts ; " in the Pirates of Pcnzance there are the twen- ty-four charming daughters of the Major- cheral ; and in “Billee’l‘aylor " there will be an array of charity girls and another set of peasant girls. It requires sixty persons to produce the opera. Stage Ghosts. “'e fear the ghost of the stage has by no means the awe-inspiring effect upon the youthful play-goer of the present day that it once had. We remember many a gear ago how even amidst the primitive surroundings of Richardson’s show the appearance of the ghost deeply moved our juvenile hearts. There was a sort of creeping, shivering sen- sation combined with the expected mystery that we should not altogether object to feel again; for instance, when the ghost revisits the glimpses of the moonin “Ilamlctfif or comes to young Do Frauehi in his Corsican home with that strange warning of what is taking place in Paris. The pleasant writers of those agreeable essays recently published under the title of “ Free Lance " have some amusing speculations upon the ghost theory, and possibly they are tht in sup- posing that some respect for ghosts yet .lin- gers in the minds of a few, especrally In a lonely, remote, shadowy, old houses with avenues of trees leading up to the front door where in the autumn shadows it would not seem unreasonable to conjure up ghostly voices from the rustling of the crisp wither- ing leaves, or to fancy a spectral shade floating in the evening dust from the dim distant meadows. In many old houses too there are legends and strange traditions of strange noises and unexplained tones, which amongst the imaginative easily suggest supernatural visitations. There are various degrees of ghosts. Some are altogether of so shadowya kind that, beyond a passing feeling of strangeness when they are re- ferred'to, they leave but a faint impression upon the mind ; but the stage ghost. is gen- erally of a substantial kind. In “ Hamlet" hehas a good strong voice, not at all affect- ed by the chilly atmosphere of the sepul- chrc, or rendered husky by the warmer place, where, for a time he is supposed to have been immnred. Ile walks about the stage'with a firmness of tread altogether 8 different from the kind of ghosts we read of in romances. If any reader would experi- ence the old~fashioned mysterious feeling about ghosts he should read the stories of Charles Brockden Brown, the American novelist. They were once popular in Rug- Iand, but appear to be now utterly forgot- tcu. Yet Mr. “'ilkie Collins himself hardly tinges our nerves to the extent that Charles B. Brown does in some of his descriptions. We remember a scene in one of his novels where he describes with astonishing force the effect of hearing somebody or something pacing the floor of a room overhead, where the listener feels it impossible for any hu- man crcature to be concealed. Our modern novelists would find it dillicult to reach the power displayed in this scene. But the writer has the advantage of being able to work upon the feelings and to appeal to the imagination of the reader. There is not fho same diiliculty there is upon the stage to awaken an interest in the ghost. The super- El natural visitation in the novel is only described, and therefore, the reader can give it any shape or horror he pleases. But there is always the danger on the stage that fam- ilaritv will breed contempt. According to the modern plan we are too much at home with the ghosts. “‘e lose sight altogether of their shadowy attributes. “'e remem- ber reading a letter by Dickens describing the first representation ofllounod's “ Faust." So carefully had all the stage been contrived that Dickens says it give him quite a weird sensation. The lurid glare we are accus- ltmned to see whenever the Fiend appears, was cleverly contrasted with the tender, soft, ethereal bluish color surrounding .‘lar- guerite, and giving the heroine an appear- ance of delicacy that threw into stronger re- lief the figure of the Tempter. We wish the stage had preserved to a printer extent some traditions of the past. For instance, we have read that in Marlowe's Faustus, the audience was deeply impressed by the ap penance of the demon. “'hcn the modern version of Faust is played little attempt is made to give him a supernatural character, The Prince offllarhnen is, in fact, a ” mod-j ern gentleman. " But since there are plays, operas, and tragedies. in which ghostly per- sonage: have to appear, it might be well for than it is. But, fortunately, there is not too much time for noticing these matters, for there is a constant necessity for letting go ballast, to meet the contiuully increasing weight of sus nded guy rope below, or the balloon woul soon ceaseto rise. At last the ballastis all expended, and the guy rope is paid out no further. The wind has caused the balloon to drift off to a considerable dis- tance horizontally from the point of depart- ure below, and she now settles into a con. dition of approximate equilibrium. The height above the ground is shown by the barometer to be about l.000 feet. The long guy rope hangs in a grateful curve below. The portion next the balloon, for hundreds of feet, is nearly vertical, and that near the ground almost horizontal. But of this I see little. One Cl‘ two timid glances are quite sufficient, for one’s head, naturally a vtry indifferent one where it is a question of looking down from giddy heights, is not yet acclimitized to the situation by practice in ballooning. So I cannot look at the ground under, or nearly under, the balloon without a shudder and a decidedly creepy sensation. Above all, one must avoid looking down the guy rope, for this, in its long centenary, ex- tending far below, reach after reach, and ending almost in a vanishing point, gives a measure to the [eye of the giddy height. And to look along it mades one's brain reel â€"â€"-far worse, as I afterward find, than look- ing down from thrice the height is a free trip where there is no guy rope. For mili- tary purposes, for reconnoitering that is, there can be no question of the value of such a. suspended pomt of observation as this. Every detail in the innumerable buildings belowâ€"the workman going to and fro In their work, the ships passing and repassing on the Thames, the Ilcckton gas-works on the further shore and lower down the river, the artillery exercise ground on \Voolwich Commons, the Herbert Hospital and other buildings further awayâ€"everything is seen, and in the clearest possible manner- For there is a very sensible advantage in the clearness of view from a balloon as contrast- ed with that obtained on the ground level, even where the latter is perfectly free and unobstructed by obstacles. It is well known to astronomers, and to all who have to make careful odservations of distant objects, that the vision in a horizontal, direction is greatly interfered with by the unseen exhal- ations from the ground, and the varying density of the lowest strata of air at and near the ground. Whereas, at a high angle, as here from the balloon, the rays of light have only to traverse a very limited amount of light of these disturbed strata, and are consequently much more unimpeded and reliable. But the (lay is wearing on, and 1 want to gel: away as early as ossihle for a free run, so I signal with a ag to lower. The drum is set in motion, and the Sappers below apply themselves steadily to wind the talisman down. 'l‘hisiis rather along busi- ness, and the oscillations of the rope which it causes give rise to sensations which rc- mind me very unpleasant.y of the rolling of avessel at sea in a ground swell. It is not without much thankfulness that at last term firm: is reached. The Talisman has lost some considerable amount of gas in the captive ascent, owing to the expansion due to the diminished barometric pressure at 1,000 feet from the ground. 0 9â€"â€" .How They Learn to Cook. (New Yorklllotel Mail.) The Australian lady of station who does not know how to cook. one may almost any does not exist. Every detail of the cuisine she 18 acquainted with. A story is told by Austrian ladies of another who, having no- glected her education, allowed, at a great dinner party she gave, two dishes of the same color to be served in succession, a fault for which she was hardly to be forgiven. The Princesses of the Iloyal households at- tend a course of lectures from a chief entire- ly upon the order of serving. Young ladies do not learn the art of cooking at cooking clubs, or from public lessons as here in Am- crics, and they rarely learn in their own kitchens. It is the custom to go to some great house, the house of a Princess, or at a very rich banker's, where there are famous chefs, from whom they learn. \Vheu a chef engages to cook fora great house he stipulates that he is to have the privilege of teaching as many young ladies as he chooses. These yeung ladies need not even know the mistress of the house, and they make their arrangements with the cook only. For a course of lessons lasting through the winter each pupil pays the cook 30 gulden, about $15. This includes instruction in every particular. If a banquet is to be given, a rand breakfast, or an elaborate supper, the young ladies are notified, and are there tosce the dishes decorated and to learn the order of serving. They- watch every pro- cess. Were you to descend to a kitchen at such a time you would no doubt find these girls suffused with blushes; for these Ies~ sons always foretell marriage, and are the last and finishing touches of a maiden’s edu- cation. But it would be abreach of etiquette for any member of the household to trespass in that department, which. belongs to the cook and his noble young pupils. This is very much as if the cooks of the Aston: and Vauderbilts were permitted to receive a half dozen young ladies from Fifth Avenue on the occasion (fa very grand dinner party and explain to them the mysteries of each dish as it left their hands. Since young ladies must be in the dining-room themselves on such occasions in their own households, it follows that these processes they cannot watch at home, never mind on how rand a scale things are. And so in Austria all noble young ladies learn these things in another kitchen than their own. -. ‘«.>â€"»o O Nothing Short of flUtnniistakahle Bene- s Confer-red upon tens of thousands of suf- fers c )uld originate and maintain the repo- tation which Avsk’ SARSAPAIIILLA enjoys.
