SPANISH PEASANTRY. •Characterized by Poverty and Appal- 1 ling Ignorance. In tlio Spanish lower classes you tvIH find poverty and appalling Ignorance— a neglect of the intelligence which is positively animal—yet nevertheless not unallied with an obvious capacity of education and improvement, an actual and admirable pluck and cheerfulness, a temper grateful, hospitable, and af , fectionate, aud a marvelous sobriety of living. There is one especial word particu larly applicable to this gente baja. It is the Spanish word sufrida, which we must render in a single English word by patient; but it means more than pa r.lent; it means patient and unvlndic tive under grievous injury aud wrong. Such are the Spanish peasantry—the cream of the Spanish people. Their j only province in relation to their gov ernment is to pay. They are a passive vehicle for ministerial extortion. The contribuciones are already heavier than they can bear, and grow more merciless as each successive admiuis- j tration plunges the country deeper and ' deeper into debt. In return for this continuous disbursement they receive nothing. Their lands are without a road, their cHildren without a school; their navy is furnished with ships con tracted for at double the price of ours, 1 whose only quality is to go to the hot ; torn without the shadow of a cause; 1 their army is unpaid, unofficered, and undrilled, and absolutely incompetent to engage with any European power. The last Spanish census shows that of ! a total population of 18,000,000 over 0,- i 000,000 can neither read nor write, ! while over half have no determined oc cupation. This statement is in itsel! so damning that it appears hardly nec essary to inquire further. It simply serves to show that for the present Spain is a country of Europe, but nol of Europeans; that the Moor, and the very worst and most savage part ol him, Is still predominant in the despots, who, by the sheer exercise of terror, i aided by a complaisant and feeble j monarchy, an army, an armed police, n j suborned clergy, and a suborned press, abuse the holiest attributes of trust I and government and power.—West I minster Review.

Rich Property, Guarded by Crumbling? Breast works. The story of the discovery of an old, forgotten mine in an unfrequented lo cality In the foothills of the Pinal mountains, embellished with romantic details such as usually accompany legends of lost mines, created u lively interest about the public resorts in ' Globe. j L. S. Goble, R. Quarrels and H. S. McClelland, on August 17, while pros pecting in the foothills eight or nine miles south of Globe and three aud a half miles to the left of the toll road, discovered an old shaft, and near by on I he hill above the ruins of breastworks, which had evidently been erected for defense against Indians. The evidences of great age observable In the decayed I shaft, almost filled with debris, and the crumbling breastworks, excited the party's curiosity, and they stopped to investigate. The old shaft was found to have been sunk on a well-defined . ledge, from which they took promising I specimens of ore which tested well in I copper and gold. I Owing to the unsafe condition of the old shaft, after having removed two or : three feet of the debris, they aban doned it, and, having made their loca ; lions, they started a new incline shaft below the old works. From the sur face down they had a twelve to four teen inch streak of sulphuret ore run ning from l."i to 50 per cent, in copper ! and well in gold, one assay giving $42 j per ton. The incline is now down tif- I teen feet and the ore has widened to j three feet. A well-preserved skeleton, with a bul let hole through the skull, or bearing other evideuce of foul play, Is a desir able, if not an essential exhibit of ev ery such discovery, and as this was lacking, Mr. Goble industriously set about to supply the deficiency, al though in justice to our informant, he says it was the hope of uncovering treasure more than to make so grew : some a find, which prompted him to ex ! plore a mound of stones lodged iu a i crevice in the rocks near the breast works. After removing about three | feet of rock and leaves Goble struck hfs ! pick into what proved to be the eye | socket of a human skull, which caused j him to momentarily shrink with horror, j but summoning up courage he proceed ed with the work, aud soon uncovered a complete skeleton of a man. Near the right hand lay a dagger eaten with rust, a large chunk of quartz seamed with coarse gold, and a handsome specimen of onyx. What was the fate j of the human being whose bones had ! been thus rudely disturbed? Had he | been murdered by the implacable foe of I the white man, the blood-thirsty : Apache, or had he peacefully laid down life's burden nnd been tenderly com mitted to the grave by friendly hands? There Is none to answer, nnd the mys tery must remain unsolved.—Globe, A. T., Silver Belt. Appearance Was Deceptive. lie was a sanctimonious-looking man, j clad in a severely cut suit of somber black. He even called for black coffee j when he quietly took his seat at the couuter in the light lunch cafe near Tenth and Chestnut streets, on Sntur ! day night. It seemed strange to the other ens tomcrs of the place that so religious a man as he appeared to be should be drinking black coffee at midnight, says the Philadelphia Record. Black coffee is calculated to keep a man awake all night. Perhaps, thought the others, he has a long sermon to prepare for deliv ery in the morning. There was anoth er surprise for the patrons of the place when the sober individual placed a cigar box on the counter beside him. They wouldn't have been surprised if it had been a prayer book or a Bible, but a box of cigars seemed much too worldly. However, the best of Chris tians smoke sometimes. This Christian quietly drank his cup of black coffee, and after paying for it picked up his cigar box and started for the door. Un fortunately, however, he carried the box with the bottom uppermost, and *thi> next instant an astounding thing happened. The lid of the box swung open, and ! about a half-peck of red, white, and blue chips, together with several bunch es of aces, kings, queens,' ten-spots and the like were distributed all over the floor. The clerical-looking gentleman j ejaculated "blankoty blank blank" sev ! oral times while he gathered up his • poker outfit. Then he drifted out into 1 the night. A girl, too, may be the architect of 1 her own fortunes, but a preference for building air-castles in Itself shows so I far she's not a designing woman. Kworils women. Spanish and French women of the higher class are usually expert swords women. They are taught to fence as carefully and accurately as their broth ers, and there are numerous schools in the two countries where young women are taught not only to fence, hut to handle the broadsword. It is consid ered one of the best possible forms of athletic exercise. Einpres. Frederick'. Simplicity. The Empress Frederick owns n pretty villa near Homburg, where she lives quite simply. When she drives it is usually in an open carriage, for, like her mother, Queen Victoria, she does not mind what sort of weather she encounters. Her favorite carriage is a yellow phaeton with gray uphol stery, and her servants wear black and silver livery. New ltlbboiift Are Attractive. The new ribbons are very attractive, aud are evidently going to be, more than ever, u feature of dress trimming. There are gorgeous plaids aud the most fascinating array of stripes, up and down and across in the Eoman fashion. Three or four shades of one color are striped together, with possi bly a velvet stripe on one edge; and then, again, there are many stripes of contrasting colors blending together with a bright, pretty effect. Oriental brocaded ribbons add to the variety, and so do glace ribbons with fancy borders. There are uncut velvet rib bons with the ribs running crosswise, some in lovely colors, the newest be- clear shade of purple blue. For Slender Women. High gowns for evening wear are be ing introduced, says London Sketch, by several of the best Parisian dress makers, a dictum that thin women should hail not less from the point of view of "becomingness" than that of practioal comfort. Napoleon's indus triously acquired knowledge of the sex culminated iu his decisively expressed opinion that thin women should never wear low dresses, end the conqueror of beauty aud broad acres certainly spoke well. Those long, crinkled, transparent sleeves, which have al ready prevailed with success, are now supplemented with gatherings of tulle embroidery, lace or mousseline, brought from the decolletage to the neck, nnd iu all cases where a finely molded figure is regretably absent the fashion is to be commended for being pretty nnd prudent—in chilly weather particularly. Tailor Gowns. Two distinctive styles in tailor gowns are to be seen this season, the elaborate and the severely plain. The severely plain are made of either smooth faced or vicuna cloth. Of course there are any number of differ ent materials which are fashionable as well, but these are the very smartest. There are many different colors, but black is the best. A faced-cloth cos tume has the new-shaped skirt with the ruflle stitched on the waist,or rather jacket, a medium-length basque coat, which opens over a waistcoat of mouse colored velvet embroidered in gold. The fronts of the coats are faced with white satin, aud so made that they can be turned back or buttoned over, as desired; and the buttons are small gilt ones which fasten into loops of black braid. The entire coat is cov ered with braid of different widths; the sleeves are very small; have deep let-in points of velvet outlined with braid and a flaring cuff of velvet. This coat can bo worn over a silk or satin waist, and is so interlined with flan- j nel under the mouse-colored satin lin ing that it is quito warm enough to wear iu the coldest weather. Another black costume is of rough vicuna cloth; this is trimmed with black braid, put on iu live rows down the front and then turned off at either side at the loot of the skirt, extending round the entire width. The coat for this is one of the Russian blouses, with an inside vest, on which are lines of braid, and this bangs over in blouse fashion. There is no braiding on the coat, but the sleeves, which are small coat sleeves, have pointed cuffs of braid. The fronts of the jackets are lined with reseda green velvet.—Harper's Bazar. Gossip. Miss Haggerty, New York's first wo man lawyer to face a jury, did so iu de fease of her father, charged with tort in SI 0,000 damages, aud won her case. Miss Helen V. Boswell, the organi zer and head of the woman's Republi can movement in New York, is a min ing engineer, and ranks high as a min ing draughtsman. The Countess of Annesley is one of the few English society women who have taken a thorough coarse as a trained nurse. She spent some time in the City of Dublin Hospital, and at one time thought seriously of taking up the work professionally. The only woman engineer in tile United States, so it is claimed, is Mrs. Annie Shanivan, of Tulare, Cal., who, bj all accounts, is a real Tom Grog hau. She runs n planing mill at Mountain Home, and the mountaineers thoroughly respect her. They call lier "Our new woman." '* Atlanta, Ga., has a colored woman doctor, Eliza Ann Grier. She is the first of the female sex of her race to apply for a license to practice medi cine in the South. She holds a di ploma from the Woman's Medical Col lege at Philadelphia, where she studied ■ the human frame for four years. A woman was scorching away on n bicycle in Denver recently when a j swarm of restless bees came along, j Something about the scorcher attracted I their attention, and they literally made a "bee" line for her. She increased her speed and finally outdistanced her I tormentors amid wild cries of the peo- ! pie who witnessed the race. Miss Ohella Connor, the nineteen year-old daughter of A. 13. Connor, of i'eltou, Del., recently walked seven teen miles in her sleep. She woke up to find herself on the railroad track near Cheswold. She took the next return train for home, and found the whole community scat- j tered far and wide searching for her. Miss Mary Ann Crothers, of Pbila- ] delphia, who recently celebrated her 104 th birthday, claims to be the oldest i old maid iuthe world. Notwithstand- ' ing her great age, she is active and | vigorous, doing some of the light work in the hoitso every day She goes up- i stairs without help, and up to nine years ago walked regularly every Sun- I day to church, a distance of one mile, j Miss Zoe Anderson Norris,"! Tof ! Wichita, Ivan., recently made the j ascent of Pike's Peak, the top of . which is 14,147 feet above the level of the sea. It was a fearful climb, and J Miss Norris fainted several times from sheer exhaustion. She was forced to make the last part of the trip on the car that takes tourists up the mount- i ain. She is proud of her achievement, but would scarcely care to repeat it. Fashion Fancies. Collarettes of sealskin and grebe. Turbans of brown breast feathers. 1 Plaid ribbon sash belts with a buckle.

A correspondent of Popular Sci ence writes to that journal: "That rubber goods cau be so compounded that they will not bloom is well known. At the same time, the ap- | pearance of this efflorescence of sul- j phur upon the surface of vulcanized goods is a general indication that they have not been overcured. Goods that have bloomed, and that remain at rest in a warm, dry place, are quite likely, it is true, to deteriorate.

Men are less subject to seasickness than women, according to an old sea captain, but when attacked by it make more fuss. They take immediately to t-lieir berths, where they grumble and groan until they arc well enough to go on deck again. A woman tights the un pleasant malady until she can light no longer. Then she becomes maudlin and pathetic. She retires to her room and invariably asks throe questions: First, whether people file of seasick ness, then how many miles we are from shore, and lastly when we shall get there. The doctor is always talked over. When the patient gets so til that she loses interest ill the doctor, she usually lies on her side and cries by the hour. A great many passengers come aboard loaded with medicine for the prevention of seasickness, but the only sure preventive is careful dieting. I Money Made by a Blacksmith. I Tacoma once had a mint that coined all the money In circulation where the 1 City of Destiny now stands, and It did ; aot require the flat of Uncle Sam, the f j silver of Idaho or the gold of Call- j i fornia to make the pieces from Taco ma's mint pass current umong tlie In- i Hans and the few hardy pioneers that ! were blazing the path of civilization j through the forest on the shores of ' Commencement bay. Back in the early seventies, so says I the Tacoma Leader, the Tacoma Mail j Company, not being able to handily se ' ;ure gold and silver for use in trading | with and paying off the Indian laborers ; ; ind early settlers, hit upon the novel , plan of issuing their own currency, and 1 to this eud set their blacksmith at j work to fashion for them out of scraps if Iron and brass pieces of money, or. ' rather, tokens, which could bo used as j a circulating medium. The pieces con sisted of 40 and 45 cent iron tokens and I brass $1 pieces. The 40-cent pieces were ! about the size of the present half dol lar. The one-dollar pieces were oval in shape, about an Inch and a quarter loug, an inch wide and a sixteenth of an inch in thickness. These pieces i were stamped with the figures show ing their value, and readily passed cur ' rent all over the country tributary to the mill. Nearly all this old "mill" : coin has passed away, but a few days ago William Ilanson, of the Tacoma Mill Company, presented a set of these i queer coins to the Ferry Museum. In j his letter he said: "The honesty of the people and the ! absence of any blacksmith shop save that of the company made the use of this money possible." j Oregon has long boasted of the "Bea ver" coin minted at Oregon City in the , early fifties as the only money minted in the Northwest in the days of tho pioneer, Osinan Digma a Scot. - v 1 Osman Digraa, who for years lias ; been giving the British trouble on the Upper Nile, is, according to the Pall ; Mall Gazette, really a Scotchman named George Nisbct. He was born in Rouen of a Glasgow father, who in i 1848 emigrated to Egypt, where he , died. His widow married a Turk named Osman, who adopted her son and made him heir to his slave bus! j ness. George Nisbet took the name of Osman Ali, and after being educated at i the military academy, where he was the intimate friend of the late Arab! Pasha, became a slave trader. The harm done to his business by the En glish and French interference in Egypt, and the fall of Arabi Pasha, turned him against his former countrymen. ; lie must be over CO years of age now.
