- A FAIRY FANCY.
[Malvin Revilo in Courier Journal.]
Came A dainty, tiny fairy queen
to me last night in a dream,
And told me of garden fair,
And of a red rose blooming there.
Then told I to the fairy queen
O a Fweet girl that I ha<l seen,
With laughing eyes and waving hair,
And rosy-cheeked and young and fair.
'Why, I know,” cried the fairy queen,
The lovely girl that you have seen;
liar bright cheek L my garden fair,
My own re.1 rose is blooming there! ’
A CHAPTER ON EYES.
Animals and Birds Have More Beautiful
Eyes Than Ilo tho Human Race.
' [New Orleans Timer-Democrat ]
There is to be found in The Eclectic
Magazine, among other studies, an arti
cle on eyes, which is full of curious in
formation an i suggestion.
We humans, to prone to calmly ar
“ogate nil beauties aud perfections, will
eel surprise at the assertion that we
have failed in our long ages of selection
evolve eyes as beautiful as those of
nany animals and birds. No odalisque

A azelle, a deer, or even the ox, to
j Hera did not disdain to be com
a'd - and they have never developed
but two divisions of color, dark, that is
all shades of brown, and light in all
strades of blue; tha rr there is some
beautiful variations between the ex
tremes o the two tints is not to be
denied. < ne of tho variations men
tioned in the article is of a family who
all had dark brown spots on blue gray
eyes, and another who had on reddish
,ha cl irides tine characters resembling
L reek le ters, and for this reason was
.. called by his neighbors ojos * escritos,
written eyes.
Rut the splendid ruby of the chicken
hawk’s eye, and the chrysolite hue of
the orbs of the pluma, tin glowing
phosphorescent sheen of cat s eves in
the dark are more beautiful than any
thing we have been able to produce in
human faces. 1 mer.ild eyes have been

HAMILTON, GA., JULY 14 , 1885 .
A V ery beautiful woman, wan rea
and eyes as yellow as gold.
Hawthorne's wife never could boar
the gaze of his eyes, and of several
eastern rulers the same story has been
told. Returning to colors cf eyes ho
says: Again,
» ft in that exquisite type of
female beauty which we see in the white
girl with a slight infusion of negro
blood, giving the graceful frizzle to the
hair, the dusky purple-red hue to the lips, the
and the terra-cotta tinge to
skin, an eye more suitable than the
dark dull brown would have been the
intense orange brown seen in the
lemur's eye. For many very dark
skinned tribes nothing more beautiful
than the ruby-red iris could be imagined;
while sea-green eyes would have best
suited dusky-pale Polynetians." article
there is a description in this
of the shooting of a Magellanic eagle in
Patagonia and the magnificent fury of
his eyes, “great globes of quivering
yellow fame," which is one of the finest
pieces of word painting in the English
language, a scene which will be a vivid
picture in the mind of the reader for his
whole life.

A Disappointed Russian.
I Washing! on Post.l
A tall, well-dressed man, with a for¬
eign accent and a heavy mustache, and
wearing a sorrowful look of perplexity tho
on his countenance, was met in
stato introduced denartment recently Nicolowiteh, by a reporter,
and as Ivan a
Russian. “1 cmne to this country," infant
said he, “when I waa only an of
8 years of age, and I Miow ‘29 and an
American citi en. I livw in PhiladoL
phia, and having saved enough to keep
me comfortably for awhile, 1 thought 1
would like to return and visit my father
land. I came to Washington to get a
passport as evidence of my American
citizenship, ^and I can't get one."
“Why not."
“Well, you see, there is no extradition
treaty bet ween thq United Mates and
Russia, and so eveu if I got the passport
it would do roe no good. Russia of oon- her
aiders the expatriation of any
citizens a crime against the holy dignity
of the czar. Autocratic Russia says:
‘My people shall not be expatriated,’
and so when a Russian wishes to come
to America, to be a citi en of a freo
country, he has to steal across the
frontier while the police are not look
ing. That is how my parents and l
had (o get ou ( 0 f |.^jsia. If I
go back now I shall be liable to all the
penalties of citi enship there—to be
sent iuto the army, or, if th< r*K

to be sent to Liberia as a prisoner to
work in the mines on account of my
crime in wishing to l e free. Thu United
Mates would be powerless to help mo.
though 1 am her citizen. So 1 suppo.se
j will have to end my days without see
ing ray native land again. 5
The statements made by he mai
woro found to be true. Russia will not
make an extradition treaty with any
nation. With Italy it is tho same way,
but in a less degree. Italy recognizes
(he comity of nations, tut Russia abso
lutely refuuscs to do so.
