Alta Visf,* Cemetery,
iSiDcaonr city cemetery has been
in charge r a special committee ef
council, with Alderman Yearwood
as chairman, and Mr. J. M. Vena
ble as superintendent, it has been
g eatly improved and is kept in ex
cellent order.
Though it has cost the city a con
siderable mnsunt to do this, it is
regarded by all as money well
spent, as it is highly gratifying to
thos® ®f citizens whose loved ones
are baried there to see that their
Jast resting places are properly pro
tected and kept neat and clean.
A handsome little cottage has
been erected within the enclosure
for the occupancy of the sexton clur
ing the day, and to afford shelter t®
those wh attend funerals in Lad
weather.
Another thing wa have ebserv
ed, as a result of this Action oh the
part ef the city council and the
careful attention of Mr. Venable,
and that is, those owning lots in
the cemetery are paying more at
tention te the beautifying of them
with handseme monuments, shrub
bery and tlewers, thereby divesti ag
the sacred spot of much of the
g'oom that usually surrounds the
resting places of tho dead. When
one does this others are apt to fol
-1 >vr the example, consequently
many unsightly places are made
to look neat and even oheertul.
W® can not, in this connection,
forbear mentioning tho tasteful
and elegant manner in which Mr.
Dick Chatham has improved and
beautified the plat in which his be
loved wife roposes, and in which
himself and the other members of
his family will probably hereafter
bs> 1 aid to rest. This will, no doubt,
incite others to do likewise, and
thus our city cemetery will soon
became one ol the mst beautiful
in th® 3tate.—[Gainesville Eagle.
Maude Ho we’s Romance.—She
received the goodly sum of SI,OOO
from tne La lies’ Home Journal
for her new novel. About thirteen
rears ago, when Porter’s picture of
her was exhibited in the Centen
nia;, she was ©ins of the famous
beauties of America, and is au un
usual handsome woman still. She
became engaged to Porter, and be
fore the affair was broken, nursed
the man sao subquently married
John Elliot—through an attack of
malarial fever in Rome. He was
au ardent young art student at the
time, and had worked too hard in
a dangerous climate. Ho passed
from the fever of Rome into the fe
ver ©f Jove, but was unable t per

ment with Porter was IF. She had
resigned love for iiterature and
seemed contented with the ex
change.—[Current Literature.

Spanish Women.
Tho Spnish eye, large, humid,
tender, grand, languishing, furnish
ed with lashes so long, s® curling
and eu beautiful that the pencil ol
the artists falls to despair; the
black pupil, the white sea, in
which the lustrious orb sails—ail
is indescribable! Spanish women,
when they are coquettish and
laughing, have a sad expression.
Next to the beauty of the hair
and eyes cmes the beauty of the
flashing teeth. Those are so uni
versally parfect (hat the student of
deatistry should go to Spain to
find out how they manage it. Thera
is very ( little good eating in Spain.
Perhaps these faultless teeth aro
not jpoiled by cakes and pastry
<md sweets in childhood. But the
careless traveler expects to be
rewarded when the Spanish wo
man smiles with a row of pearls,
and he is almost never disappoint
ed.
Alas! here comes in the one note
of disappointment. Just above
the leefh is a little mustache—
sometimes a very big one Nature,
in being so generous ®f her gift of
hair, added one dash ©flier brush
too many on some of these beauti
ful faces. It is not universal, but
it is common. The Portuguese
women accept the mustache and
cultivate it, as young men do, curl
ing the end. On a very deJicicate
'ace the little feminine mustache
is not al rvays disagreeable, buf to
one who has passed the blossom
ing hour, lids heavy, dark, mascu
line belonging becomes an almost
offensive feature, to foreign eyes,
at least. Bat if is said to be agree
able to native eyes.—[Exchange.
The Decline oi Wie&diog.
It is on record that Henry V III
hiinseif, who was something much
more than an amateur athlete, contin
ued to keep np his practice in wrestling
among ether muscular exercises even
after his accession to the throne. Hut
the example of the merry monarch,
though dear to the many tastes of the
people, could not avert the reaction
which the spread of the now learning
and the decline of chivalry were rapidly
bringing about among upper classes, t©
some extent even under the later Tu
tors. Still more when the Puritan
movement acquired stiength in the
country, wrestling, among other out of
door sports, sank to lower level ol
popularity than it had ever previonsly
touched in England. Peacham, in his
“Conipleat GfUtleman/ 4 published in
1623, went so far as to say that throw
ing the hammer and wrestling were
lovr class sports, “not so well becoming
nobility, but rather soldiers in a camp;
neither bare read or heard of any
prince or general commended for wres
tling save SpsraiDondar and Aebmat,
the last emperor of Turkey.‘‘—[ New

A well known Chicago attorney

among lawyers. Not long afterwaid
Mr. Storrs was defending a heavy at
tachment gait, nr.d the lawyer on the
other s:d@ took occasion to cito a oer

court in support of hi* position. Storm

decision is that?" lie asked. “It was
written by Justice Skates," replied the
other attorney. “Well,** said the witty
Storrs, “ ‘Skates on attachments may

aint worth scent."—[Chicago Herald.

following day he was returned by
a man who had discovered his pe
