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 Journal. 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. —Elizabeth Stuart Phelps in The Century. Buchanan in Haralson county, had a fire last week, in which six buildings were destroyed. The losses are as follows. J.
