Ba thos. in his “Idylliuin,” says of his subject: Charming Bombyco, you my numbers greet, How lovely, lair and bonutilul your foot. ” In the scene where Paris judges the beauties of the three goddesses and awards the apple to Venus, he says: Thoir gait ho marked as gracefully thoy moved, And round their feet hisoyo Pngncious roved.’> The old English poets made many pretty allusions to the feet. Among them Herrick thus compliments a lady: " Her pretty feet, like smilos, did oroop A little out, and then, Ah il they staitod at bo-potp, Did soon draw in again.” Butler imagines flowers springing up in the pathway of one of his heroines. “Where’er you tread your loot shull sot The priinroso and the violet.” In an anonymous volumo published in 1853 are the following beautiful lines: How her foot tempt; liow Bolt nnd light sho treadH, •'paring to wako the flowora from thoir boda; Yet lrotn thoir awcot, groon pillows, ovory- whoro They alarl and gaze about to aoo my Inir. book how that pretty, modest columbine Hangs down its head to viow thoso loot ot thine: Soo the loiul motion ol the atrnwhorrio piungcd around the room, tumbling books about and breathing heavily. 1 1 don’t see the U9v of making such a fuss over a tiling you don’t really need.” sobbed Mrs. Spoopcndyke through her indignnnt tears. “ Oli, you don’t?” raved Mr. Spoopcn dyke. “ You don’t sec any use in put ting tilings where thoy belong, do youP How d’ye s’pose I’m going to keep up reli. with religion without a prayer-bookP How d’ye s’poso I’m going to know when it’s my turn to Bhow wlmt Chris tianity lias done for me, unless you can find that dod-gasted book between now nnd the resurrection?” and Mr. Snoop- endyke spun around on his knee like a top, and knocked over a Parian jar.

They fell on strange fates, nnd exile revealed to tItem unsuspected ca pacities. The lecturer was attended at a restaurant by a waiter who bore strange resemblance to a person he hnd always admired as the model of refined good breeding. Not caring to wound the feelings of the waiter—who carried a revolver—Mr. Harte had inquired of the proprietor of the hotel whether the waiter was not in fact a person who in the East hnd filled a much higher post tion. The landlord confirmed the sus picion, and nddod that his servant’ command ol language often beguiled the visitor who wa9 waiting for a plate do lajad. The varied capabilities of these rmgi Tgrants depended on their character, but what their character was lie had rather not say. Some find left behind them wives and families; some of them had left behind them officers of the law, deploring their absence. But their past was no clew to their future. “The boys seem to have taken a fresh deal all around,” observed a noted gambler to Mr. Harte; and the gambler was himself an illustration. He camo of a family who would not touch cards because they held such things too trilling and anius ing, but might perhaps have been eon verted by the remark their descendant made on rising with $5,000 nfter ten minutes’play, "to think there is folks as believes that kdards is a wasto ol time!” In San Francisco in those early days everybody played; and when died ai gambler died at the table, and three doctors who happened to he there ex amined him and pronounced that the cause of death was disease of the heart the coroner, who was accidentally pres. ent, impaneled a jury from tiro’ other ed a players, who returned a verdict in ac cordance with the evidence, and went on with the game. Female society was so scarce that even a gratuitously ugly face was followed by admirers. A married captain’s wife was escorted homo from a ball by ever officer in the garrison, and observed that now at length she understood the meaning of the expression, “ the pleas urc of your company.” When a baby cried in the theater everybody shouted lived a wilder “encore.” The miner life upon the hills.

He was gen' erous to a fault. The “ sanitary ” sub scription by which North and South benefited alike, was started in a Califor niabar. “It is rough upon them poor fellows; I am sorry lor them.” “ How much are you sorry?” “Four hundred dollars. The next man gave $1,000; in half an hour donations of $15,000 were telegraphed to Washington, and the total subscription of California was $3,000, 000 gold. The miners were, above all, faithful to their partners, and lover them with a love surpassing that of women. It was dangerous to interfere with partners’ quarrels, and cnee a stranger at a bar, who had not, so far as he knew, given offense to any person present, suddenly found himself upon the floor and a tall Kentuckian standing over him with his revolver out. Wheu the tall gentleman was courteously asked for an explanation, he said: ‘i’’ amt nothing against the stranger my self, but he said something just now against Quakers, and I want him to un derstand that my partner is a Quaker and a peaceful man.” The Argonauts were not prone to sen timentalisms, although they knew what homesickness was; and when they dealt in sarcasm their innuendo was grim and Sons have gone over the falls. Last summer seven went over, four on the American side and three on the Cana dian. Of those who bo over the Ameri can falls the bodies are very seldom recovered, they tell me, while the bodies of those who go over on the Canadian side are usually found. This is because of the iagged rocks which lie hidden in the whirl nnd foam at tile foot of the American falls—these, grim teeth that they are, seize upon the victim delivered to them, and hold him inn grip from liich neither bell nor diver can deliver him, a grip which shall not be relaxed until the sound of that trumpet at whoso blast the most inaccessible graves shall give up their dend. It is generally boatmen, I nm told, familiar with the river, who iall a prey to the falls. Crossing nnd ^’crossing the river in safety thousands of times, knowing, as they suppose, every phnseof the current, they finally come to look upon it witli indifference if not with contempt, and, joing once too often to the well, come to liave their pitchers terribly broken at last. The usual fatcofall who toy with the manes of lions or attempt the role of tiger-tamers is theirs. Some day there a craunch, and all is over. Last sum mer, for instance, two boatmen started to cross the river in a sailboat, taking no oars along. It had been thoir home since childhood, and boating was their business. Who should presume tolwarn d died them? But in mid river the win away, and they found themselves in the grip of the current—n grip relentless nnd unrelaxing as that of fate. F’aster and faster, ns though drnwn by demons be neath tho keel, their boat neared the rapids. And onco in the rapids—ah, the story is soon told. F’rom the bond of the rapids to their foot—the falls—a dis tance of perhaps eighty rods, the dcclino is nigh upon ninety feet. And down tins inclined plane, as you can very well sec, the water slides with something of the speed of an express train. It is a “lit Creeping on earth to go along with tlioo; lc Tho lovoly violot makes alter too. Unwilling yet, my dear, to part witli yon Tho knot grass and tho daisios catch thy loos, To kiss my luirono’s leol boloro she goes.” Very pretty is the above conceit, and here is still another from an anonymous poet of the olden time: " I>o not (oar to put thy fuot, Naked in (ho river, swoot; Think not net, nor leeoli, nor toad Will Into thy loot whoro thou hast trod Sir John Suckling, in iiis ballad of the “ Wedding,” says of tho bride: “ llor loot hononth hor putticoat Liko little mico stole in an 1 out.” Shakespenre abounds witli allusions to the feet, lie speaks of Diomedo walking: “ ’Tie lie, I kon the mnnncr of his gait; Ho rist-B on tho too; that spirit ol Ids Inspiration lilts him lrom tho earth.” Also— " His loot morenrial; his mnrliul stride.” Or— " His foot spurns back tho oeoan.” Of some of his female characters ho says: “ llor lip, nay, hor foot speaks.” And— Shore's wile hath a pretty foot.” And again— Tread thorn with thy londor fooling toot.” And in many other instances that greatest of poet? allows his appreciation of that portion of tho “human form divino." The poets liavo not boon so laudntory of the foot covering, but we select couplo of stanzas which, from tho practical nature of tho advice given, will form a fitting closing of this article. The first is from Chaucer’s Pilgrimage written some 500 years ago, and slightly Anglicized: “Ol shoos and bools; now nnd lair, Look at loast, thou liavo a pair, That thoso rude men may nltorly Marvel, whon thoy sit so plain, How they como on and oil'again.” ~ What kind of boot this was we arc at loss to iinnginoP Bootmakers of the present day do not usually fill thoso re quirements.—S/tor awl Leather Reporter terrible meteor that shoots by the few (for the exhibition has not been adver tised in ndvance) who stand on the hanks and bridges.

Professor F’lower, in a recont letter on the “ Anatomy of Man,” before the Royal College of Surgeons, Lon don, discussed at some length the ques tion of his origin on tho American con tinent. Till recently, opinions on the early peopling cf America had been a betwoci divided between the views that tho in habitants of this continent were a dis tinct indigenous people, nnd therefore ' ed to those of any other land not rolatc _ ar. d that they were descended from nri Asiatic people who, in comparatively recent times, passed into America by the way of Behring strait, and thence spread gradually over tho whole con tinent. These theories have had to undergo considerable modification in consequenco of the discovery of the grent antiquity of the human race in America, as well ns in the old world. The proof of this nntiquity rests upon the high and independent state of civ ilization which had been attained by the Mexicans and Peruvians at the time of the Spanish conquest, and tho evi dence that that civilization had been preceded by several other stages of cul ture, following in succession through good stretch of time. Tho antiquity this quasi-historical period is, however, entirely thrown into ttie shade by the evidence now accumulating from vari ous parts of North and SouGi America, that man existed on the Western con tinent, and under much the same con ditions of life, using precisely similar weapons and tools, ns in Europe during the Pleistocene or Quaternary period, and perhaps even farther back in time' Recent paleontological investigations show that an immense number of forms of terrestrial animals, that were form erly supposed to bo peculiar to tho old world, arc abundant in tho new. Tak ing all circumstances into consideration, it is quite as likely that Asiatic man may have been derived from America as the reverse, or both may liavo had their source in a common center, in some region of the earth now covered with sea. Lighting Central Park. A necessity has arisen for the lighting ol Central Park, New York, at night, and the problem of ways is a difficult one. Gas seems to be out of the ques tion, because, Central Park being two and one-lialf miles wide, the plant re quired would be very laree, while tho ni umination through the foliage would he far from sufficient. Gaslights would but serve to attract pedestrians at night while leaving them all to the mercy footpads in the ample shadows.

The tradition concerning the laureate in England is that Edward III., in 1307. emulating t!ie crowning of Petrarch at Rome, in 1341, ernnted tho office to Chaucer, with a yearly pension. In 1G30 tho laureate was made a “patent” office. From that time there hns been a regular succession of laureates. Nominating conventions date back to 1831. In September of that year the Anti-Masons nominated at Baltimore VY'irt and Ellmaker. In December, also at Baltimore, tho National Republicans nominated Clay and Sergeant, and in March, 1832, the Democratic National convention, which also met at Balti more, confirmed the renomination of Jackson already made by his friends in the New York legislature, and placed Van Buren on the ticket as Vice-Presi dent. Jackson, therefore, was the first President nominated by such a conven tion. In 1828 the candidates on both sides wore nominated by common con sent or by State legislatures, the system of congressional caucuses having been abandoned and the national conventions not yet introduced. In 1824 Crawford friends had tried to revive the con gressional caucus system, but the caucus was thinly attended, and the result was the “ scrub race.” There was no oppo sition to Monroe in 1820.
