The Disnppointed Husband.
I thought that she was mild and good
As maiden ere could be ;
I wonder how she ever could
Have so n,u h humbugged me.
Thev clus'er round and shake my hand,
They tell me I cm blest;
My case they do noi understand,
I think that I know best.
They call her fairest of the fair—
They drive me mad and madder;
What do thev mean ? Ido declare
I ouly wish they had her!
’Tis true that she has lovely locks
That on her shoulders fall;
What would they say to see the box
lu which she keeps them all?
Her taper fingers, it is true,
Are ditiieu t to match,
What would they say, if they but knew
How terribly they scratch!
The American Ideal Woman.
The ideal woman has often been described; we
have known all about her from our boyhood. Thu* she
was a beiujr born destitute of will, desire, or aim of her
vrn T at -he liuei! am! breathe*!, and acted and >uf
tciva, in a:d tor her husbuud and children, the former
.11 t.cularly. That she was “ fragile” in form, villi
•Mi v’’ hands, and “lain ’ feet, aud “silvery” voice.-
Tli sue tound lirr cuiet glory in making a shirt—her
.. go >r pleasure in coiu|x>iiodiog a pudding. That she
wa.ehed her husbaml > looks anticipating every wish,
without the smallest expectat on of any attention or sa
cntice from him in return. That she was utterly un
able to frown, or to say no. That she waited ftr her
lord and master till all hums of the night, cheerfully
sewing at bis buttons, and never reproaching him for
being late, or asking where he had been. That she
“soothed his troubled brow,” “consoled him by her
sympathy,” “cheered him by her smiles.” “divided his
cares and sorrows,” and bore with entire satisfaction
any amount of exclusion from his pleasure ; accepting
every crumb of his company wi.h gratitude. In short,
that she was born to be the bumble contributor to m< n;
to bear with liis tempers, follow liis fortunes, humor h s
whims, cater for his wants, watch over bis illnesses,
bring up his children, economize his means, promote
his enjoyments—be wholly lost and swallowed up in
him while he lived, and, if she survived him, be con
tent with a pittance of his estate, or a condition of de
pendence, if it proved to have been his sovereign will
and pleasure to leave the fortune she hud helped to ac
cumulate to posterity or the public.
All this lias formed the staple material for the use of
magazine avi iters and others, when they would show up
the ideal woman, and the world has hailed ‘he pictuie
with complacency It avus nice to think that so conve
nient a class had been created for the good of the high
er; and if the gentlemen were pleased, why the ladies
must be, of course, or they could not claim to be ideal
women. And vve have no special objection to make, if
only the thing be rightv understood. The uice pussy
like woman we have sketched may be agreeably trans
lated by a master hand, as by Mr. Thackeray, into Hel
en Peudeums, or by Mr. D.ckens, into situdrv heroines,
and her io* is not always an unlovely one. The happi
ness of making sacritices is, under certain conditions,
the sweetest and higbes of all, and a> soon as the ideal
tnan shail be embodied, there can be no word of objec
tion to i his mould for the ideal woman. As things ate
now, indeed, her lot would be enviable, unless she were
born a Sort of menial and moral jelly, and a very mild
jelly too. Tiiere must be no wine in it, or the spirit
would hardly be as amenable as tha ease requires. Few
of our lady friends, we may venture to observe, would
be prominent in desiring to become ideals, on these
terms; still fewer, perhaps, would furnish the requisite
material.
Tue female character we have indicated enjoys, and
‘cry naturally, a popularity old it- Meihu-eiah, per
haps daimg as far back as Adam and Eve, it we may be
fore Milton, who praises “ sweet compliance” in woman
and extols headship in man, on otnort. But as times
change, manners change with them, and the need of a
nt-w idea! woman, fitted to our new ,-tate of thiugs iu
the new world, has already begun to be felt. The quo
tad- ns as to hands, feet, voice, and so forth, remain as
before, with perhaps, a shade more delicacy, even at the
expense of health, comfort, and usefulness. Hut the
American man, working with every nerve, muscle, tis
*tte, Libre, aud particle in a state of highest tension, un
der the burning sun of prosperity and the mad tyohoou
of competition, has no time to be cheered, consoled or
iittiu-ed. Woman’s active duties towards him in those
respects are now wholly excused and omitted Busi
a-'s is first, last, and without end. A wife’s voice,
even though “silvery” up to the regulation standard,
has no music for ears so weary tha! silence itself it
“eloquent,” would be importunate. Even a “clear,
ntiti'ig laugh” will not be missed. American woman
Rta> be stricken with dumbness, and American man
Nould scarcely discover it. Even beauty is but hnlf
•l, for admiration is fatiguing. Dress is important,
ause it has something to do with “business; ’ it is
thought to prove property, and so helps to make more.
As to fern tie grace, according to the standard of tlie mo
ment it consists solely in repose: rest —rest —rest! first,
second, third requisition, now, of the American husband.
Only don't talk to him—don’t ask him to go out in the
evening—dou’t inquire “ilie news down town”—don’t
let the baby erv, or the boys study aloud;—muffle the
door-bell at T p. m.—have all your binges and locks
w >j| oiled; keep out the mosquitoes -touch the eat
Softly with your foot if she purrs 100 loud ; and you may
easily till tlie place of the model American woman of
our present time, a transition s ate let us hope.
We are yet to require and have something else, some
thing better. The old ideal —the purely sentimental
one, nas gone out of date, and as to llie transitional one,
there is a nothingness about it that proves its contraven
tion of ail the laws of nature aud Providence, since
nothing was made to be nothing. That it should ever
have become customary to praise woman uegitatively,
shows how thoroughly we are sophisticated. “Calling
light darkness, and darkness light; pulling bitter for
sweet, and sweet for bitter,” —is nothing to this larger
insult to the order and symmetry of the universe.—
Shining in the milky way may be very well lor stars;
but it is poor business for women, who resemble stars
only in a few particulars, such us “ raining iuiiuettce,”
and the like. There has always been a woman starnug
‘ip here and there, and insisting on being somebody;
hni ihvse exceptional cases have not been received *ii:h
r - -artv good-will and welcome. Xr d.> wo say they
*>b*.uld h.ive been, exceptional cases having ahvayr . i
s at- and .r .x ihe edect of monstrosities. The aboi igiius
U San Salvador looked upon a ship, one of the- most
beautiful and graceful objects, as a hideous winged crca
fore, because they thought it came on aa errand of des
f'tction. They saw it through their prejudices. We would
J 1 >t insinuate that a learned woman seems to ns thus;
h‘V only that the world has seen too lew specimens to
able to class her sa 1 islactor.lv. Men iu general view
t-.r a- a Catnanche would a locomotive, should he 1111*01
unawares, whizzing past him 011 the hunting-ground,
the sensation is not agreeable. The Indian might bo
’ ‘"scions of a threatened disparagement of his own legs;
sud men—well, men think 1! just as well that woman
s‘i"u|<i keep in her own “sphere.” y\Vc hope the ladies
foil give us credit for candor.)
e are not for learned ladies, as such; but we in
fo* ‘hat the ideal American woman of our day must
Ijyone with teery faculty cultivated, every power in use.
t Rs may seem so obvious as to deserve the name of a
rui>n * nr platitude, but earnest, practical acceptance
fc*;t>e a revclution—not a bloody, but a happy one.
y, world has seen a great variety of women. There
been, a* was just observed, learned ladies; there

’ U! dcreut ordeis of women are inoie or less at
e unity one tvith the other; secret dislike or genteel
s Modal in the well-bred, blazing out into hard words
ad defamation in the unbred. Every one of them sees
her neighbor’s deficiencies and feels'her own, and no
I jve grows in such disturbed ground. There is no com
mon ob vet; no concert in the attainment of any thing,
o >ly r-.valrv aud real isolation under the mask of con
ventional intercourse. Candid women own this; thev
confess that there is very little common feeling among
• hc;n. Men having regular and combined employment,
are b ‘tod together at least by professional tie-, or e>-
/■ rit <-t ror *,• but women are totally without the feel
ing, and the strength and improvement that belongs lo
i:. it is tor want of it tliur thev do so little for tin
wretched, the unemployed, and the fallen of their own
-ex. They will give months of- wing, and thousands
of dollars toward the equipment and support of young
m *n at co.lege, or as missionaries, while destitute so
wn go from their doors unrelieved. Why is this? —
Because having no combination among themselves, they
are instinctively impelled to throw their individual ef
forts and gilts into the hand of men, who knee combi
nation, and can produce results. Look at any large
oivghborhood or coterie. You may find there a speci
men of every class we h.-iA'e named, and more besides,
oitili mut'd to each other’s |>ro;>:nquitv by the iucxont
b e laws ot ti'ii aiid space; attd some, perhaps the best,
of them, will b living in seclusion; others in tattling
.usd fluotu. fiiendshiti, so called ; Si>ne in ceaseless
lKMid*ho!drv f which entitles them to roll up their eyes
at others wrio write sonnets to the moon when they
should be darning stockings. What is wanting to bring
all these jarring elements into one harmonious circle?
A hearty, intelligent, habitual pursuit of knowledge, not
peiidauic, nor fiuical, >ior sectarian, lior showy, nor by
any means sought only in books. Our I leal Women
must be “glolK'd, ’ if \ac may borrow a word from high

I Die American woman being of no elas-., needs all the
powers and qualilies that up lo our day have beeu ui
! v.deil Hinuiig various classes. She must be able not
only to grace* a splendid costume, but to shape ami tlt*-

such exercise of taste and industry desirable; not only
o ptvsiJe at her dinner table, and be its light an l
w inufb, but to cook the dinner and serve it too, on an
e u Tgt-IK V, and never feel that she has sacrificed an io

is by no n.eai.s to let die any of the graces that adorned

contingency which well deserves to be provided for in
tht l lined States, she must not scorn or forsake the
lowlier mood in which i‘ was sweet to wateli and toil
for those she loved, but remember that affluence of
heart is by no means compensated by affluence of pock
et. Why should one power cripple or smother auot he: :
\\ hv should accomplishments throw into the shade the
useful aits? and whv should household skill, the Art o!
Home, oh, blessedest and finest of all arts! scorn tlie
aid of the acquired powers and graces which dignity
and cheer harrassing occupations, soothe and elevate
the mind, and afford innocent amusement for thoughts
and bands, protecting virtue by leaving no vacant, wea
ry hours for vicious wishes?
There is no complaint more common tli.iu that of the
intense dullness of our ordinary society. This is so well
understood that no one is surprised at hearing au invi
tation spoken of as an infliction, and the acceptance of
it a- :i thing to be eluded by any and every social art
a*ul fiction. We venture to say’ that our* it the on';;
■ “i.ttry tu'. ‘er ihe •*. where tht# w the ease. And the
reason is but too obvious; it is, that as a general thing,
unless there aie people hired to amuse in some way,
Here is absolutely nothing expected at a social gather
ing- but dress :ml display, for which not eveiy one ha
"le i’L- or indivafion. N’obi dv goes into compflti\ m*
i itdtng to coiitribii'e in tbt smaller degree to the plea
sure ol others, aud So the whole thing’ is vitiated and
•• >*low. There will be :: uy Mrs I‘otiphai’s balls this
winter! Would we might live to see the end of them!
Do we mean, then, to sav that American women, as
they are, are not accomplished? Let us summon til!
our courage nav, all our benevolence, and confess tbai
that is just what we do mean, tWe have thrust sticks
iato a hornet s nest before now, on purpose to pull it
down and get at some lovely pears that were growing
above. We do say—nd let our unhappy bachelor
hood take the blame if we are wrong—that American
ladies, spite of thousuid-dollar boarding-schools and
immensely mustached teachers of every thing, are not
practically furnished forth with the knowledge and skill
tor which their parents have paid so much ; do nS car
ry with them into their married homes, habits which
demand the exercise of talent, taste and perseverance,
\\ ith the single object of pleasing ibose with whom they
live, and making home the centre and natural theatre
ot their best graces. We do say, and Aviih a deepet
sorrow than the subject mar seem to some to warraut,
that music, dancing, and French are the only accom
plishments, technically so called, cultivated to any con
siderable extent, and that the first of these is so entire
ly perverted from its divine uses, that no young lady
plays in company for the sole purpose of giving plea
sure, or without an idea of competition or display. “No
young lady!’ we hear some indignant voice exclaim ;
alas ! dear reader, have patience—if there be exceptions
they are too few lo be considered. Ask any splendid
singer of your acquaintance to sing an old fashioned
song, one popular twenty or thirty years ago, and not
yet “revived” by some musical prodigy in public, and
you will be convinced. Ask your daughter to play for
your countr*. cousin, aud see if she will play any but
the most difficult music, such as is mere confusion to
uuinstrueted ears. Request the young lady who sang
very sweetly last evening in a company where there
were only ordinary performers, to oblige you again to
night, when her rival at Madame ’s has astonished
tlie room. But this is a little aside from our theme. —
What we ought rather to say is, see how large a por
tion of the tifty marri /ladi sos yonracquair'ance who
have bad a musical education, play and sing at .11, after
two or three years’ housekeeping. Music is no longer
a home accomplishment, a family treasure, a life-long
joy. There is a delusion about it, which an Ideal Wo
man will see through and live down. But enough.
Dancing is not worth many words It is, properly,
the joyous expression of youthful hilarity and strength,
and die.*, a nuiuial death as soberer hours creep on, und
the muscle.-have enough to do otherwise. Let it take
care of itself, under the sweet guidance of delicacy a iJ
grace. We have no quarrel with it, so long as it keeps
its place.
The study of the French Language is, in most cases,
a mere mania of the day, in many a spending of time
iitid money without intelligent end or aim, since it fin
ishes svirh the school days and never hud any intended
use as a key to French literature. If here Ave seem to
make rash assertions again, we desire to be put to a test
similar to the one proposed just now. Askinesix most
intelligent married ladies of your friends how many
i’leucii authors they have read in tlie • ilgiual since
they left school. Would we then discourage the study ?
Fur from it; we would only continue it through life;
we would never undertake it without meaning to do so.
The only other feasible object of so much toil would be
the chance of marrying one of our numerous foreign
ambassadors or th in/ --, who would certainly be made!
much more respectable in the eyes of people abroad it
even their Avives bad this indispensable competency for
th * position.
As to drawiug, that lovely home-talent, in the exer
cise of which British ladies so generally excel, how
small u proportion of ours who know anv thing about it!
A lady artist is almost a ‘us’ot na t/ us, and
ev ou a tolerable skill in sketching from nature is ex
tremely rare. Os all the educated American women we
know, and that includes a go ally number, encountered
in the course of our wanderings, there are not six who
can make a drawing they ate willing or ought to be
willing to show. Why is this? Let us not enter on
the ungracious exjmsition. Let the ladies answer the
question for themselves.
We have said enough about wh: t are popularly call
ed accomplishments, and shall pursue the topic 110 fur
ther at present. Bui our Ideal American woman is but
| half indicated as yet. We have implied her outline by
coatrast and comparison ; let us now l>e a little more
I direct. Having confessed that neither the grub nor the
1 butterfly is to our tu.-ac\ we would further observe that
an enlightened aud elegant woman gives her own char
after to her occiqiatioiis. As she feels, believes und is,
! ssi will her work be, in kitchen or parlor That shrewd
j beauty. Lady Mary Worilcy Montague, u duke’s datigh
: ter, saw this and said it, a hundred years ago. “Meu
j bier une chambre, ’ she says, (we quote from memoir,)
j “ce n’e t pus tneublcr title chambre; e’est oruer un en
droit ouj'atrcnds mon ami. Ordouner un souper,” Ac.
The thing is what we make it.
One ot the great Dutch J'u uters represents the Holy
Family af’er a courageous fashion ; Joseph planing at
a cat iwnter’s bench, wi ii shavings falling all about him,
Ma y, with a busk.-t of family mvutimg. |.lying th
needle indiistrioiivy ; uml the Saviour, a_.o a no! ioii:-
lecu, tiicexly sweeping die Hour whit a broom. ->io;e
could hardly have been done lor the dtgui’.y ol lu.use
hold iabo .
We shall, therefore, as we hope, not shock any body
by saving that, to our thinking, our ladies of fortune
show bad taste by their siu lious avoidance of those
household occupations which their sisters Avithout to:-
tuoe aie in duty bound to practice daily. This brings
these occupations—necessary for the comfitrt undhaj
pines of every human family, from the palace to the hut.
and therefore proper objects io every one having a hu
man heart and sympa hies—in n disrepute and con
tempt. We conteud that domesticity is tlie honor and
giorv of a woman, whatever her fortune and abilities,
aud that when she performs all its duties by means of
hirelings, she is untitte to herself and hot birthright. -
Nature s revenge is severe enough, for, the loss ol real
pleasure a:.d interest, is incalculable, und there is 110
computing the ennui, tt 11. y, and ill li>*;oth tha* come
ot the error. But the punishment is seldom recognized
as such, certain as it is. The lady becomes “nervous,
and accuses her cruel stars; or “dyspeptic, and taik.-
of her stomach till she turns every one’s else ; or con
sumptive, and goes down to the grave in the prime ol
lite by what is called a “mysterious dispensation. But
she never believes, uorcau you persuade Iter, that tlie
dulncss and monotony ofaaobjeetle-sand wasted life has
any thing to do with these sad results. She would laugh
at you, if she could vet laugh, should you tell Iter that
the woman who, with no choice in the matter flies from
the needle io the churn, from the broom tnthe pte-boatd,
aud fioiu putting the children to bed to knitting stock
ings for them, is far happier aud better off, and would
be still more blessed if, iu addition, she bad tlie cultiva
tion. ihe taste, aud the abundant means thrown away
upon her idle sister, without losing Iter owu activity
and the habit of various employment.
“Want of time” is much talked of, its if from the
shortness of life wo could wisely attempt but little. But
this is a great error. The complaint is oftenest made bv
the ii.fie and inefficient. It has been proved a thousand
times that those who have most to do have the most ef
fective leisure—;. e., that they are the people to apply
to if you nee 1 aid unexpectedly. Our working hours
are carefully reckoned by the clock, those that slip by
unprofitable do so unrecorded. Tiiere is time for the
highest cultivation and the highest usefulness; those
who doubt it accuse Providence, as if powers were
meant to run to waste. The languor of foo much rest
is not repose but imbecility ; the intervals of intense ac
tion are sweet and full of life and promise. The excite
ments of a true woman's life, under the favorable cir
cumstances, arc gentle, but they are incessant. She
lias no occasion for severe labor, she has no excuse for
wilful idleness. Our ideal woman will not think idle
ness lady-like.
Tiie Ideal American Woman—would that her time
were come! —will govern her children, which certainly
ihc'American woman 10-day does not. We will ven
fine to siv that s i many utterly uncurbed children are
I. ot o Pc Pouiid any where as in the United States ; per
fect nuisances to every body who is unhappy cnoug'n
to come in contact wiilt them —an expression perhaps
suggested by tlie fact that we are still black and blue
from the kicks of a little boy whom his mamma very
complacently allowed to assault us repeatedly during a
long stage-ride this last summer. We should perhaps
have been more indignant if the good lady had not been
kept in countenance by all the American mothers we
encountered during a pretty long tour. It is hardly
possible to exaggerate in describing the behavior of
American children to their parents, their nurses, their
unhappy teachers—and why is this so little noticed?—
In conversation it is a never-failing topic, especially
among travellers, who experience its effects in every
steamer, car, and carriage. Ask our teachers to what
extent [ arents aid them iu the government of children.
If they dare, they will tell you sad stories.
Now, begging put don of all the dear good women of
our acquaintance who allow their children to treat them
with disrespect, there is pitiable weakness iu this, ami
our ideal woman will put it to shame by the firmness
with which she will insist on her l ights, and the tendet
ness with which she will grant herchtldren theirs. She
will not, for the stke of s<t:n : uy am able, let them grow
up in the unchecked insolence, which, in the end, she
is tis unwilling to bear tis oilier people. She will neith
er be the tyrant of her children, nor allow them to lord
it over her; she will not harass them by incessant go
verning.-*, nor permit them to dispise proper restraints.
We arc not writing a treatise on education, so we for
bear further comment. What we have written we have
written, and we shall be truly glad to be controverted.
On the whole, we may us well rest our case for the
present, reserving for a future day a wider exposition ot
our notion of the “Whole Duty of Woman,” in comple
ting the portrait of the Ideal Woman of our time and
country.
The Vote lor Governor, Ac.
After the most diligent investigation through all the
channels within our reach, we are at length enabled to
foot up the vote for Governor and Members of Con
gress. We have never seen returns so dilatory in com

cial vote for Governor, as it is not endorsed on the back
of those on band. Our investigation, as shown by the

A New Printing Press.
The New York Tribune, speaking of the articles on
exhibition at the Crystal Palace, speaks as follows of a
new printing press which appears destined to supersede
even IJoe’s lightning presses:
Another invention of a character no less interesting
and inportunt to the publishers of journals of large cir
culations has been patented by Mr. Victor Beaumont, a
citizen of N'ew York, though of French birth. It is a
printing press, which at a moderate rate of speed, will
deliver thirty thousand sheets printed on both sides in
a single hour! Its movement combines the original
principles of Napier, which are applied by Hoe in his
great press, with some new aud beautifully simple ar
rangements and devices of the inventor, lt has a large
central cylinder like the Hoe press, on which are fasten
ed the forms for both sides of the sheet to be printed.—
The type are held fast by Hoe’s patent column-rule.—
The paper used is a continuous strip of baud, dispensing
with men to feed the seperate sheets, as in other power
presses. This strip or baud Mr. Beaumont arranges
very ingeniously; he avoids the inconveniences insepa
rable from having it in the form of a roll, by laying it
in a pile, folded backward and forward like a piece of
broadcloth; one end on this pile is put into the press,
which then draws in its own supply without tearing or
straining the paper, till the wnole sheet has passed
through.
As there are no feeders, room is obtained for additiou
al printing cylinders; a moderate sized press will have
twelve ‘if these, and will require throe hands to run it,
two ot them being implored in carrying and looking af
ter the paper. Each twelve-cylinder press will work
four of these continuous sheets at a time, or one to each
three of its cylinders. Each sheet will pass twice
through; at its first passage one of its sides will be en
tirely printed, the forms of the newspaper being impres
sed on it alternately. As it comes out, the machine lays
it back again in the same sort of a pile so that when it
is all done the attendant supplies its place with a flesh
pile, and then carries it to the proper spot for it to be
passed through the second time, which prints the side
left blank before. Then the mechanism pusses it along
to the knives, which cuts the sheets apart, whileauother
contrivance puts them in neat piles, ready for the car
riers. These knives are very ingenious. A serious diffi
culty has been experienced in other machines designed
to print continuous sheets, front the liict that an ordina
ry knife cannot be relied on to cut paper which is wet
enough for printing.
The inconvenience Mr. Beaumont obviates by making
his serrated or saw-shaped knives with long and acute
teeth. The points of the teeth easily pierce the paper,
and once having obtained an entrance, the cutting is
completed iu an instant.
These are the chief features of what we consider a
very admirable invention. No presses have yet been
built on this plan, but when we state that Mr. Iloe has
purchased the patent and is now ready to make them,
we say enough to convince practical men that our opin
ion is well founded. We suppose that this press must
supercede all others, for everywhere great rapidity is
required. And though the two of Hoe’s great presses
which vve now use have cost ns a large sum of money,
we look forward to being compelled at no distant day
to abandon them for machines of Beaumont's patent in
order lo supply the enormous and increasing number.-

Politically Damned.—-McVicker, Vankce Mack,
“ Cotnmedian to the born Republicans,” related the fol
low ing good stoiy to us during his stay in this city.—
It will serve to give some idea of the “ principal ingre
dit nls ” of success in political life away down South.—
It will lo remembered by many persons about this
neighborhood, that McG., an Alabama Marshal, arrived
at Ulevelaml abou* two years ago, in search of a fugi
tive from justice. He put up at the Waddell House,
and during his stay there be had a “difficulty ” with a
“ person ” who roomed with him one evening, in which
McG. shot thre’ times at his antagonist, only slightly
wounding him the third lime. He was immediately
arrested and put iu jail, and on the morning after the
arrest, flu* following scone took place in the prison : A
friend of lii * M :.r ii. 1 entered Ins cell, and found him

“Ruined! mined! ruined!” groaned the Marshal,
without even changing bis position. “Ruined, bah!”
returned his friend, “don’t be a child; I tell you the
wound is but slight; besides it is an </,■;//■.<rated case,

Lola Montes.—A California correspondent of the
Nashville Gazette gives au account of the recent doings
of Mrs Patrick P. Hull, Marie lleald, Countess do Lans
felds aHa> Lola Monfez. She was recently arrested lor
assault und battery and heavily fined. It appeared on
the trial that she becoming enraged at her Chinese ser
vant, seized him by liis long tail of hair, tied it to the door
knob, and slapped his rice masticating jaws most un
mercifully. She had the poor fellow “light,” as he
could not jerk loose unless he scalped himself. After
the perpetration of this feat, the quondam Countess still
fur: her “astonished the natives” by mining a whole day,
iu a corduroy Bloomer costume. To cap the climax of
lie eccentricities, Lola has sued for a separation from
her present husband, after a union ot but a few months,
and sought the protection of a handsome cal j Hero. Her
assigned reasons for this course, the correspondent says,
are not for ears polite.

the lop of a boiler in a machine shop in Detroit, and
dropping to sleep, was Morally baked when he was dis
