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 suade Miss Howe to think ©fhim uufil some years after her engage ment with Porter was IF.

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.

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 Review.
