Paris Leads No Longer.
London, not Paris, now loads in matters
of fashion both for men and women.
When the Empress Eugenie left Paris and
the republic took the place of the empire,
the reign of the French as leaders of fash
ion ended. Mrs. Leslie is of this opinion,
and her opinion is entitled to respect. She
is a woman of fashion herself, although
deeply immersed in business affairs, and
is a close and keen observer. Moreover,
she visits the European capitals annually,
and thus has peculiar opportunity to form
an opinion. She says: “The reign of Paris
as fashion queen is over, and in my opin
ion will never return. Why? Because
London and New York havo obtained a
supremacy which they will never relin
quish. Finer dresses are made for court
wear in London than anything now called
for in Paris. For street wear who can
equal an English' ladies’ tailor? And for
gay attire, where harmony of colors is
made a feature, American dressmakers
and milliners take the lead of all others.
Some charming bonnets, greatly admired
in aristocratic London drawing rooms last
spring, were made in Washington.”
As to the “dowdy” appearance of Eng
lishwomen in the public streets which
some hypercritical writers have noticed,
Mrs. Leslie explains: “It is deemed bad
taste, immodest even, to display rich cos
tumes Id the common eye in public. Only
to their peers in society do English high
born ladies reveal the wealth and magnifi
cence of their wardrobe. On a visit to a
friend’s house they appear each evening
in a different toilet with jewels to match,
and, favored by exceptional physiques
that lend majesty to costliest costumes,
and with a bloom *and vigor far past the
turning point in other women, our Eng
lish aristocratic lady cousins are by no
means second to the French.” —Home

Flowers of ISritish Guiana.
AH through the land round about are other
wonders. There are avenues of table trees
whose foliage seems exaggerated horizon
tally, alleys of mahogany trees, lanes of ori
nokes whose fronds eorruscate with crimson
blossoming. There are amazing shrubs—
orange colored things; there are plants with
glossy leaves speckled in four different col
ors, there are various plauts that look like
wigs of green hair, or masses of filiform
green sea weed set on short sticks; plants
with enormous, broad leaves, so diaphanous
as to seem made of green glass; plants that
do not look like real plants, but like idealiza
tions of plants, like the fantasticalities of
wood carvers and stone cutters animated by
witchcraft. There are grasses that look like
dwarf palms—tiny arborescent grasses with
curving stems and plumed heads. There are
flowers of extravagant forms and colors—
flowers that possess familair shapes, but have
absurd tints and unfamiliar perfumes, yellow
and indigo and green, orange and black and
crimson plants.
And in ell the ponds, covering all the
canals, float the green navies of the monster
lily, the Victoria Regia. Close to shore the
leaves are not extraordinarily, large; but
they increase in breadth as they float further
out, as if gaining bulk proportionately to the
depth of water. A few yards off, they are
largo as soup plates; further out, thej r are
broad as dinner trays; in the ceuter of the
pond or canal they have surface large as tea
tables. And all have an upturned edge, a
perpendicular rim, like a bulwark. Here
and there you see the flower—a nou-seusical
flower large as a hat.
Then there are fiddle wood trees in multi
tude, calabash trees, mangoes, breadfruits,
sago palms, fig trees and a hundred unfa
miliar shapes of which I cannot learu the
names. An 1 there is the snake nut tree,
bearing a most ghastly fruit. For this swart
nut —shaped almost like a clam shell, aud
halving in the same way along its sharp
edges—encloses something incredible. There
is a pale envelope about the kernel; remove
it, and you find between your fingers a little
viper, triangular headed, coiled thrice upon
itself, perfect in every detail of form from
skull to tail. Was this marvelous mockery
evolved for a protective end? It is no eccen
tricity; in a hundred nuts the serpent kernel
lies coiled the same. Lafcadio Hearn in
Harper’s Magazine.
The King of the Rockies.
lr It is now possible to ascend Pike’s Peak by
wagon. Who among those who from a dis
tance of 100 mile’s or more gazed in ’49 upon
this snow topped crest supposed that in ’BB a
decrepit team of mules and a wagon with the
tire wired on would ever desecrate the noble
height I Of course tourists who have paused
at the foot till now, will ride to the summit,
breathe the thin, cold air, look upon the
panorama of beauty which spreads to the
Uintah mountains of Mormondom westward,
and south to the Spanish peaks guarding the
New Mexico line. They will bo sure to do
this. But the element of adventure is gone.
The accomplishment is no longer a tug, a
test of endurance or a triumph. The lame
and bait can climb as quickly as the robust.
The consumptive can expire in rarefied ec
stasy at an elevation of 14,147 feet.
Once tourists walked pantingly the entire
distance or bestrode picturesque burros and
let the beasts do tlio panting. They went by
the edge of precipices. They had hair
breadth ’scapes, or at least an elegant chance
to say that they had them. All this is passed.
There is still the never melting snow, still the
glowing beauty of sunset, kissing everything
in sight, still the shadowy picture of the
plains rubbing its edges against the distant
horizon, but old Pike’s Peak has taken a tum
ble in public esteem. It has been pilfered of
its romantic charms. Pegasus was harnessed
to a plow and kicked. Pike's Peak, the
[grandest hump on the continental spine, is
tied to a road cart, and is powerless. What
an affront to vastness! The winds will sigh
(and sob in earnest as they blow through
Pike's piny whiskers.—Omaha Herald.
Epidemic Character of Verso.
f In our own immediate times verse writing
'has become something more of the nature of
a disease than of an honor. A species of
rhymophobia pervades the cultivated world.
Like tko bite of the bitten victim, fashion
able forms of construction extend. There is
'contagion in them. The strain for effect has
become virulent. We feel, perforce, a sym
pathy with the half playful but wholly
earnest revolt of Dr. Holmes against the
epidemic character of our debilitated verso.
