ROYAL LADIES. Four Queens Described, One of Them in Very Uncomplimentary Terms. Queens arc not tny better-looking, after all, than other women, and some of those now reigning may even be classed among the very plain-women, ■ays a writer in the New York Mail and Express. Nut even the most regal of their state garments could make them anything else. The idea that patrician blood shows in the beauty and grace of the royal ladies is a great mistake, for it is quite the contrary, as far as I have seen, and the bluer the blood the uglier the queen. In Vienna, at their great exposition, were gathered a number of the then reigning ladies of Europe, and I had several Views of those who were there. The first glimpse I had at all of royalty was of ex-Queen Isabella of Spain. I was in the Turkish section when I noticed a coarse, fat, elderly woman, plainly dressed and vulgar in every movement, come waddling along. She was shaking all over like a bowl of jelly, and looking keenly about her with beady eyes, while behind her walked a youth hardly come to manhood’s age. He wore a stovepipe hat and a Prince Albert coat, and appeared to be a mod est fellow with little taste for display. The ex-queen wore a black lace over dress over black silk. The silk was cut low in the neck and with short sleeves, after the fashion then prevailing in Vienna, and the other dress was high in the neck and with long sleeves. She wore a black lace bonnet, with long streamers of ribbon behind, and a mass of red roses mingled with the l*ce, and she had some very beautiful diamonds in her ears and at the throat She went about cheapening everything and look ing for some Turkish rugs to buy, but she seemed to think that the price was raised on account of her royalty, and in a loud aside in Trench she spoke to her young son, saying that evidently they intended to make her pay too much, and that he must come there the next morning wearing a plain suit and a cap, so that they should not know him, and get the carpets at a lower price. I ■aw this same queen at the opera soon after in all the glory of full dress, and ■he made, to my thinking, one of the most revolting sights I ever witnessed. The aged and amiable empress of Prus sia made a short visit to Vienna during the exhibition, but she appeared no where in public except as she rode from the station to the palace with her ven erable husband. She sat leaning far back in the open carriage, and as the horses dashed by she left but a confused remembrance of a frail but sweet face, mild eyes, and womanly grace. She was wrapped in shawls, although the weather was very warm, and sne ap peared to be very "thin. The empress of Austria and Queen Olga of Greece are the two beautiful women of all that I saw, and whatever their station in life they would still be called so. The empress of Austria seems •to be too active a woman for the close confinement and rigid dignity that oth er queens think necessary, and she goes and comes as she likes, rides and walks abroad without let or hindrance, and very simply. On state occasions, when there is a public parade, or anything like that the streets are cleared by sol diers, who take positions on each side. These streets have been previously swept and sprinkled, and no vehicle or per son can travel there until after the pageant has passed. Then after hours of patient waiting in the hot sun, with eyes half blinded by the white reflection of the houses and streets, there will be a dash and flash of glittering uniforms, a clash of sabers and spurs and trample of prancing steeds, and a magnificent open barouche comes into view with a tableau of a soldiery-looking man in his uniform with jewels add decorations blazing all over his breast, and by his side a vision of beauty dressed in the national colors. As this radiant picture comes into view there is a bust of cheers and wel come from all people. The poorest and the richest alike shout with a spontane ity that is born of a true affection for the beautiful empress, at least. Behind their carriage is another, a smaller one, with a young man and a young girl, the children of the royal couple, and they receive as many plaudits and good wishes as their parents, and then, be fore one hardly has seen them, the whole is gone and the crowds are let loose to fill the streets or go to work again. One day in the exposition the empress walked abo ut without ceremony or fuss, with a few of her ladies. She was dress ed in a lilac muslin trimmed with lace, and certainlv looked not an hour over 25. Her tall fomt was as lithe and graceful as a girl’s and her matchless eyes, hair, and lips would make the beauty of any woman. The expression of her face was simply enchanting. Aft er walking about until she was tired, she took her seat in one of those rolling chairs, and the driver rolled directly over my foot I could not repress a ■light expression of pain, which the em press beard, and she made as many apologies as I should have thought necessary had I squeezed her royal toes. Then she chatted several minutes in a perfectly unreserved manner with me, and said some day she might visit America, as she always longed for a ride on the prairies. I saw her at the opera afterward in full dress, with dia monds and pearls, and her exquisite neck and arms bare, and she was posi tively dazzling. Queen Olga is of another type, but equally handsome. She is stouter and shorter, but her figure is graceful and well formed, and her hands and feet are true Russian, being almost as small as a 10-year-old child's Her eyes are large and dark, with long, heavy lashes Her hair is superb, and her features mobile and beautiful, and her laugh very charming. She is a brunette, with a lovely, rich color, which comes and goes with her emotions. While in Vien na Queen Olga was greatly admired wherever she went, and she went every where, being perfectly simple and un affected. She is a fine horsewoman as well as the empress of Austria, but she did not ride in Vienna Nearly every day she visited the exposition, and al ways dressed in her national colors blue and white. I saw her afterward in her own home, in Athens, and was still more charmed with her, from her sweet and simple manners that are still full of grave diguity. (She is a model mother and a true helpmeet to her hus band, who would be nothing and no *““*• without her. Bbe is always ah wort while at Gome on some Bit of lace work, which she afterward takes pleas ure in giving away as little souvenirs The people of Athens adore hit for her large sympathies and gentle charities, ana they love her for her goodness and womanliness no less than for her rich beauty and the fact that she is their queen. A Puzzled Traveler. 1 find myself this morning in a novel predicament, amusing if one is philo sophical enough to look at the amusing side of it, but at the same time very annoying, writes a correspondent from Placquemine, La., to the New York Commercial Advertiser. We are brought to a halt here by a railroad wreck, and are likely to be detained here for at least a day. 1 have my family with me, and naturally there are expenses to pay. I have in my pockef a number of coins made of gold and bearing the stamp of the United States government in certification of their weight and fine ness. These coins are American $5, $lO, and S2O gold pieces, and if I were in England, or Germany, or Russia, or India, or anywhere else in the world except right here in Placquemine, La., 1 should find my money current at its nominal and actual value, because the two are everywhere known to be iden tical. But here in Placquemine, La., a little town whose people are direct descend ants of Longfellow’s Acadians, my American gold is uncurrent money! 1 first encountered this state of things last night when I offered gold to the porter of the Pullman car in payment for my berths. That worthy politely refused it on the ground that “that kind o’ money an’t good out here, sah.” I remonstrated with him, and told him that American gold was worth its face everywhere, because the gold in it, merely as gold, is worth very nearly tho amount of the face value of the piece. He was deaf to arguments of that kind, and so I expounded the law to him, and quoted the provision making the gold coin of the United States legal tender in payment of all debts. It was equally useless. The porter knew nothing about legal-tender laws or standards of value, or anything of the kind; he only knew, or thought he knew, that gold coins were bad and uncurrent money in this quarter of the country, and he would have none of them. I managed to scrape together enough silver, eked out with nickels, to pay for the berths and decide in my own mind that tho porter must have got hold of a counterfeit gold coin, and finding it bad, must have concluded that all gold was bad money. • This morning I have learned better. Finding ourselves stopped here, I order ed breakfast from the" buffet, and after eating, set out to get some of my gold changed into bills or silver at the shops of the town. Alas! the shopkeepers of the place, even including the saloon men, were like-minded with the porter. One and all were persuaded that gold was not not good money, and with one mind they refused to take it. I offered to “treat all round” at a saloon if jhe barkeeper would take a $5 gold piece in payment and give me but he declined. I asked if the genuineness of my gold was doubted, thinking that might be the trouble, but I was assured that all gold was refused in the town, and one man, a merchant, told me he believed there had been “some govern ment action on the subject which made gold no longer of any account." Final ly one man came to my rescue and gave me silver in return for a $5 gold piece, saying that the gold might perhaps “go for something in New Orleans. ” He did it very much as he might have given $5 to a human being in distress, and I could see that he had very little hope of ever getting anything out of the bright new gold piece which I had drawn a few days before from the London and San Francisco bank, in full faith that the gold coins of my country were tho best and surest possible representative of value anywhere to be found. I am still without any explanation of the phenomenon, but it is a fact worth recording that American gold coin is not current money in Placquemine, La. The Distribution of Wealth. In Rome, under the empire, wealth at one pole was a symptom of misery at the other, because Rome was not an in dustr’ 1 state. Its income came from Slander. The wealth had a source in ependent of the production of the so ciety of Rome. That part of the booty which some got, others could not have. No such thing is true of an industrial society. The wealth of the commercial cities of Italy and southern Germany, in the middle ages, was largely in the hands of merchant-princes. If one were told that some of these merchants were very rich, he would have no ground of inference that others in those cities must have been poor. The rich were those who developed the opportunities of commerce which were, in the first in stance, open to all. What they gained came out of nothing which "anybody else ever had or would have had. The fact that there are wealthy men in En gland, France, and the United States to day, is no evidence that there must be poor men here. The riches of tho rich are perfectly consistent with a high condition of wealth of all, down to the last In fact, the aggregations of wealth, both while being made and aft er realization, develope and sustain the prosperity of all. The forward move ment of a strong population, with abundance of land ana nighty develop ed command by machinery over the forces of nature, must produce a state of society in which average and mimi mum comfort are high, while special aggregations map be enormous, misfor-. tune and vice being left out of account Whatever nexus there is between wealth at one pole and poverty at the other can be found only by turning the proposition into its converse—misery at one pole makes wealth at the other. If the mass at one pole should, through any form of industrial vice, fall into misery, they would offer to the few wise an opportunity to become rich by tak ing advantage of them. 'They would offer a large supply of labor at low wages, a high demand for capital at high rates of interest, and a tierce de mand for land at high rent— Prof. W. <i. Sumner, in Popular bcienccMonlMy. The ex-Empress Eugenie at last sees the hopelessness of the Napoleonic out look in France, and has withdrawn the pensions which she has paid regularly to the supporters of the Bonaparte dynasty evsr/lfce the fall of the empire. MISSING LINKS. A young lady is driving a cab in Ber lin. She asks thrice the ordinary fans, because she sits by the side of hor em ployer while she drives him. A huge iron reservoir is being built at a remote snot in the outer harbor of Amsterdam, N. Y., for the storage of petroleum. It will be nearly thirty three feet in diameter and of the same depth, and is calculated to hold 1,740,- 000 gallons. The Empress of China has selected thirty-six pretty girls of high rank to train them to be Empresses and wait ing-women. Those who are to be de voted to the higher career are classified as “two dabs" in red-ink characters, and the others as "one dab.” “Harrison Millard, the ballad com poser,” says the New York Sun, “is frequently" seen at the ‘at homes’ of ladies who hold weekly gatherings. He is a tall, well-built man. with grayish hair, and is celebrated for a rather languid manner that many young men envy.” The luncheons given in Washington are characterized By a prominent color. A yellow luncheon was lighted with yel low and olive caudles; the flowers were yellow roses, the central strip of plush was yellow. At a pink luncheon the favors were pink sachets, with a bunch of violets at the top of each. Workmen engaged in digging a chan nel at the outlet of Megunticook lake, Camden, Me., have found, three feet below the surface of the ground, an cient fiats, which yieldea countless varieties of mussel, scollop, and conch shells. Several rocks, covered with barnacles, were also discovered. The objection to the incandescent light in mines, that it gave no indica tion of fire-damp, has been removed by placing two together, one a colored and the other a clear light A mercury con tact subject to the pressure from diffu sion in an unriazed porcelain pot al lows the clear light to burn in a clear atmosphere, but lights the colored one in fire-damp. In Fredericton, N. 8., a few days ago, a captain of the Salvation army walked out of a store with a lot of eggs, when his foot slipped, and down lie went with the eggs under him. He never said a word when the boys laughed, though he looked mad, and in the even ing at the meeting he told how the devil had got into the eggs just to try and get him to swear. His soldiers became uproariously happy when he told how he had defeated hissantanic majesty by keeping his mouth shut Workmen while repairing a house in Brooklyn, N. Y., one day last week, discovered a bag containing $2,500 in gold under one of the floors, and turned it over to the landlord. The last occu- Eant, a man whose wife died in the ouse, now sues the landlord for the money, alleging that his late thrifty helpmate used to extract money from his pockets habitually, that he could never find trace of it, and is convinced that the concealed treasure was the ac cumulated deposits she had relieved him of. Consumption, a Boston physician. Dr. Cushing, asserts, is “transferable not only by inhalation, but by wounds or cuts infected by tuberculous expectora tions; also by the milk of tuberculous mothers, or by the flesh or milk of tuber culous cattle. Our laws now afford no protection against this last-named danger, and a strong public opinion is necessary to compel the inspection of milch cows, and the slaughter of all found tuberculous, as well as the rejec tion of all flesh of tuberculous cattle.” A cashier in a New York bank is the victim of a peculiar belief. Every night at 10 o’clock he walks up Fifth avenue to see whether or not a certain million aire’s front door has crape tied to it For over four years he has made this nightly journey. He doesn’t know the millionaire, nor any reason why his death should be expected. Yet he has a superstition that when he discovers the crape he looks for, on that same night some great good fortune is to fall to his own lot He has tried to shake off this feeling, but it will not depart It is said that whenever an eruption of the Bromo volcano, Japan, takes place, the natives, as soon as the fire (the molten lava no doubt is meant) comes down tho mountain, kindle at it the wood they use as fuel for cooking. They keep in the fire thus made for years, and whenever it goes out through neglect or for any other reason they never kindle it anew from matches, but they get a light from their nearest neighbors, whose fire was originally ob tained from the volcano. The fires in use up to the latest outburst in the na tive oooking-places were all obtained from the Bromo eruption of 1832. A new musical affair, the humani phone, was recently exhibited at a church fair in Worcester, Mass. The instrument consisted of youug ladies, representing the tone of the scale, arranged behind a screen, showing only their heads and shoulders. They wore white masks reaching to the mouth, and around the neck of each was suspended by a ribbon the number of the seals represented. A young lady stood in front, who, with a wand, played tunes by pointing to the one whose number was the tone wanted, which was promptly uttered. Rounds and other pieces were sung, making a unique and amusing affair. A remarkable woman died a few days ago at Villa Rica, Ga., aged 92 years. She was a midwife and during her life she was at the birth of 619 white chil dren and 347 colored, and she never lost one of these or its mother. She was the mother of ten children, one hundred grandchildren, fifty great grandchildren, and eleven great-great grand children. For eighty years she was a consistent member of the Metho dist church. Just before her death she ■aid to her son: “I am going home.” He asked: “Mother, are you not home now?” and she said joyfully: "No, 1 am going to my heavenly home." And thus she passed peacefully away. "It is what a man saves and not what he earns that makes him rich,” said a Maine man on the street in Lewiston the other morning to a reporter. “1 have just had an illustration in print,” he said. “Among the recent ban krnpts in Massachusetts is the brother of a man who works for day wages in a man ufactory in this county. The Massa chusetts man has had a regular salary 1 varvine from $2,000 to $4,000. Deneaiy has’had a smaller family, and less neces sary expense than his brother in An droscoggin county. Who gets only S7OO to SBOO per annum. Yet among the bills in the insolvency court is one due to the Maine man for $450 borrowed money.” Senator Stanford ‘will test in every practical manner the mnch-talked-of design of Capt Lund berg, of the Swedish navy, for the construction of vessels designed for greater speed and carrying power than any vessel that has yet been built The senator pro poses to build a yacht to cost $600,000 on this principle, and he has had the plans prepared for tho same. His idea is to use this vessol for his own private purpose for a short time, until he has thoroughly satisfied himself of its merits; then if ne is convinced that the claims of Capt Lundberg are well founded he will offer it to the government for a dis patch-boat or a gunboat at its original cost to him. « It is found that walls laid up of good hard-burned bncks, in mortar com posed of good lime and sharp sand, will resist a pressure of 1,500 pounds per square inch, or 216,000 pounds per square foot at which figures it would require 1,600 feet height of 12-inch wall to crush the bottom courses, allowing 135 pounds as the weight of each cubic foot It also appears from accurate calculations ana measurements that walls laid up in the same quality of brick and mortar, with one-third quantity of Portland cement added to the same, are ’capable of resisting some 2,500 pounds per square inch, or 360,000 pounds per square foot; this would re quire height of wall of 2,700 feet to crash the bottom bricks. Women's Names. It is curious how difficult it is to toll truly what a woman’s name is. It is as puzzling as her age, for instance. Re cently in England a woman died and left a sum of money to “my cousin, Harriet Cloak.” As it happened, how ever, she had a cousin who had been Harriet Cloak before marriage, but had married someone with another name; and she had also a cousin named Cloak, who had married a girl named Harriet, so that she had become ■ Harriet Cloak. Therefore when it came to deciding who was “my cousin, Harriet Cloak.” the first judge who tried the case decided that it was the blood relative, tho nee Harriet Cloak, but the court to which the case was appealed decided the other way—that it was the Harriet Cloak, by marriage, who was the Harriet Cloak of the present date. And yet; for all of this decision, it might well be that the cousins had known each other from childhood, and that the old and familiar name, which had been changed by marriage, had still been used Dy the testatrix to desig nate her earlier friend. The court, how ever, decided that the woman knew the true names of both and wrote accord ingly. All this suggests indirectly the sub ject of women’s names. What is a man to do who receives a letter in a manifestly feminine hand signed by a stranger, say, “M. L. Jones?” Is he to reply to Mr. M. L. Jones or to Miss or to Mrs. ? Is it to be Dear Sir or Dear Madam or what? Suppose it is Mary L. Jonea He knows then that he mustn’t say "Mr.” but that is all he knows. Shall he address her as Mrs. or Miss Mary L. Jonea That he can not tell. The chances are that he will make a wrong guess, and that she, on getting the letter, will laugh at his stupidity.— Hartford CouranL The Father of His Country. In idealizing heroes the world de grades them into mere abstractions by depriving them of their humanity. Their contemporaries may have known them as flesh and blood, but the follow ing generation doubts if they ever wore anything but flowing robes orate aught but ambrosia. It is, therefore, refreshing to discover that our hero, George Washington, was so human as to order his coats, waist coats, and breeches from a London tailor, and that he insisted upon their being stylish and fitting. Another fact which brings Washing ton within the range of our sympathies is that he was fondof tripe, and ordered it from Bristol, England, because a brand which ho could obtain there was superior to any made in New York or Massachusetts. Once upon a time Cary & Co, of Lon don, the commission merchants who turned Washington’s tobacco crops into hard cash, presented him with two jars of Bristol pickled tripe. Each jar held about two gallons. There was a special pottery at Bristol for the manufacture of these jars, each of which had burnt upon its front surface the curcr’s name, as a guarantee of the genuineness of its contents. The brand sent to Mount Vernon was that of “Hamlin,” and Washington was so fond of it that pickled tripe was a standing dish on his table. “Dear Carr,” he wrote to the senior member of the firm, “Mrs. Washington joins me in warm thanks to you for your considerate present of two large ■tone jars of pickled tripe. I must ask you to arrange for four similar jars, in wicker-basket casing, packed in outer casks, to be shipped for my account direct from the owners. Dental infirm ity impels my caring for this necessary item in our domestio commissariat.”— South's Companion. Among the fanners of Hindoostan sowing lakes place about the last of September. If the farmer is a Hindoo, a Brahmin is consulted to fix an auspi cious day, and a man is appointed to do the first sowing, after which any one can sow grain, but not before. The average amount of seed per acre is 150 pounds, or two and a half bqsbels. In some districts the wheat is weeded, and the weeds serve as food for the farmer and the grass for fodder for cattle. The ground is watered once after germina tion, once when the wheat is in plossom, and once while in ear. The wheat is cat in April in the good old-fashioned way, with a sickle. A man can cut one twelfth of an acre, for which he gets 3 l-2d per day and boards himself. The grain ■ thrashed by driving cattle over It on in earthen threshing floor, and is trampled until the straw is broken fine to e “choosa” foi the cattle. The grain is cleaned with a fan of about the same style as that inws 100 years agm THE woinsßSinJi^ MAIZALINE PILLS FOR THE RELIEF OF Indigestion, Constipation, Liver Complaint, Billiousness, Female Troubles, Scrof ulous Diseases, etc., etc. PEICE 25 OE3STTS -A- BO2C, FOR SALE BV DRUGGISTS AND DEALERS GENERALLY, the WOFTDEEFU Xj MAIZALINE LINIMENT, A RELIABLE REMEDY FOR All Acute Pains, Rheumatism, Bites ana Stings, Colic, Cramps, Burns, Neuralgia, Swollen Joints, Headache,Toothache, Wounds and Bruises.

Stonewall Jackson's Way. It was customary for the corps ol cadets to devote several weeks each spring to artillery drill. Gen. Jackson commanding the batallion. We had a four-gun battery; the carriages and caissons were trim and light; the pieces six pounds caliber. The cadets man aged them by hand with ease and dex terity. At one of the drills a cadet, whose name I forbear to mention, be came offended at Maj. Jackson, and when he thought he was unobserved, the major’s back being turned toward him, he threw a brickbat at him with all his strength. The major did not notice the cowardly act The next morning, when Maj. Jackson was com ing . j his class-room, he had to pass immediately under the windows of the barracks. The samo cadet sought to gratify his base, cowardly nature by throwing a brickbat down upon him from the window of a room on the fourtn stoop. Again he failed to notice the act, al though the brick came near striking him. He passed on without looking up. Os course such conduct was condemned by the cadets, some of whom were cog nizant of both acts. At last the pro fessois heard of it, and one asked Maj. Jacksou why he did not seek to dis cover the miscreant and report him. He replied: “The truth is, 1 did not want to know that we had such a coward in the corps of cadets.” He was proud of the corps of cadets, and sought by precept and example to impress the very humblest with a high sense of honor and true courage.— Southern Bivouac. Wall Paper. Paper tiho walls. If you live in a rented house refuse to sign the next lease unless the house shall be papered for you. Accept a cheap paper if ne cessary, bat stipulate that you shall do your choosing yourself. Then make yourself fit to choose, and don’t rely on the glibbest clerk that ever persuaded a hesitating customer. Read Eastlake’s “Hints on Household Taste,” get tho “House Beautiful” from the library, and look up Scribner’s Household Art Series. At least, read Eastlake, and discover for yourself that the so-called Eastlakian papers and carpets are far from being made after his designs; are, in short, what he most abominated. Then, arm ed and equipped with knowledge, make a determined raid upon the cheap papers; ask for fifteen cent rolls first, and then if you must, go up to twenty five, but no higher. One of the pret tiest papers I ever saw, was only fifteen cents a roll. Os courao there was no gilt, but gilt is of doubtful value in a paper. If you are very short of funds put tho paper on yourself. It is not at all an impossible task. I know a de termined woman who saved three or four dollars, and resolved to paper her parlor. She knew her husband was struggling hard to pay for their home, and so would not ask him for money to hang it She was lame with a badly sprained ankle, which she could not touch to the floor, but she papered that room herself, going up and down the ladder on her knees, and hopping about on cruiches. The sequel was very fun ny. Her husband so appreciated her bravery that he presented her with a basket of flowers which cost enough to have paid for the hanging! A paper should always nave a border of sufficient width to give character. This border should be lighter than tho paper, except in a very lofty room, when a darker border apparently lowers the ceiling, and makes the room easier to furnish. A single strip of ordinary paper for the side walls, harmonizing in tint, but bolder in design, put around next tbe ceiling horizontally, maxes a pretty and inexpensive finish. A stripe about an inch wide of dark paper, be tween tbis border and the main wall covering, may take the place of a pict ure molding, and will have to be used when the molding is next the oeiling, as it sometimes is. It ought always to be between tho border and tbe wall screen A paper should be light-colored nearly always-that is tossy. In small rooms. In dark rooms, or in rooms where most of the picture frames are dark. A room Is generally made gloomy by a dark paper.
