I am very far from meaning to say,
by all this, that beauty Is vanity. Every
fair faco, every symmetrical form, is
a benlson to thank heaven for. Tho
yasslng of n beautiful woman along
ft staring street Is like tho soul-chccrlng
progress of a ravishing melody. Beauty
should bo allowed to cover a multitude
of sins. It is very much like genius.

Neither Is a deserved reward for any

If it is a virtue to hide away a no

if It Is bcnovolont to keep music Im

and to allow no street pianos down tho
nlslcs of tenement forests, then It Is
not miserly or churlish to hldo beauti
ful woman nway from tho benediction
of grateful eyes In tho Jail of a seraglio,
ana send her forth only under heavy

If It Is a piety to thank heaven for
fair meadows and raro skies, the grace
of trees and tho color of flowers, it is
surely not heathenish to bo moro grate
ful for tho superior shapeliness and the
richer hues of a beautiful woman.
Therefore, blessings bo on tho theater
that gives us a sight of women who,
whether orthodox or not, and whether
artistic or not, arc at least a rest and
iv banquet for eyes weary of gray
pavements and glum office buildings,
stingy of tho sky. But all this flno writ
ing has precious Ifttlo bearing on tho
French typo of beauty.
When I said that actual physical at
tractiveness is rarer among French
women than their general effectiveness
would lead one to believe, I had no
Idea of denying tho existence of such
beauty altogether. Far be It from -no
to speak with so llttlo gallantry; and,
further, to speak with so llttlo truth.!
But Sara Bcrnhnrdt Is a somewhat sub
limed typo of French charm. Endowed,
with neither an Imposing form nor ex-'
collont features, sho Is so Imbued wlth
tire, so restless with activity, so acuto
In foreseeing effects, nnd so dramatic.
In realizing them, so full of thnt quos-,
tion-begglng tiling we call magnetism,
that she takes on a beauty of expres
sion and carriage that lifts her abovo
many a statoller, many a fairer woman.
Modern Franco Is not without heir
esses to tho fcmlnlno beauty that has
always played about her history with a
Ilamo too frequently baleful. In tho
Bols do Boulogne, boiling, like Juvenal's
Rome, with carriages, one can seo many
a regal beauty lacking only tho oppor
tunity to add u klng'B scalp to her tuft
crowded bolt. At the Oymnnse, at the
Opera, all about all Paris, and all

Among tho languid lndolcnts may be

modern stugo has women as fair as
Adrleuno Lccouvroiir or any of her ri

Is so timid of tho notoriety of tho cam
era, that it is quite Impossible to buy
her picture, unless sho Is an actress.
Fortunately, tho English and American
women are not bo timid of their
beauty, nnd it Is possible to get types
of the boauty of all walks In life. Sa,

LINCOLN AND MATRIMONY.
Apprehrnilre That the Pathway Waa
Not One of Flower.
Letters from Lincoln to his closest
friend, Joshua Fry Speed, subsequent
to tho lattcr's marriage, betray an anx
ious nnd impatient desire to learn II
marriage is a pathway of flowers and
sunlight, and not of darkness nnd pain
tho two had morbidly feared it to be.
John Gilmer Speed presents these hith
erto unpublished letters bearing upon
"Lincoln's Hesitancy to Marry," In tho
Ladles' Home Journal. In one Lincoln
says:
"It cannot bo told how It now thrills
me with Joy to hear you say you aro
'for happier than you ever expected to
be.' That much I know Is enough. I
know you too well to suppose your ex
pectations were not, nt least sometimes,
extravagant, and If tho reality exceeds
them all, I say, enough, dear Lord. I
am not going beyond the truth when I
tell you thnt tho short space It took' mo
to read your last letter gave mo moro
pleasure than the sum total of all I
huvo enjoyed since tho fatal first at
January, 1841. Since then, it seems to
me, I should havo been entirely happy
but for the nevcr-abaent Idea that there
Is one (referring to Miss Mary Todd)
who Is still unhappy, whom I havo con
tributed to make so. Thut still kills my
soul. I cannot but reproach myself for
even wishing to bo happy whllo sho Is
otherwise. Sho accompanied a largo
party In the railroad cars to Jackson
ville last Monday, and on her return
spoke so thnt I heard of It, of having en
Joyed the trip exceedingly. God be
praised for thnt. One tnlng I can toll
you which I know you will be glad to
hear, and thnt Is that I have seen Mary
and scrutinized her feellngB ns well aa
I could, and am fully convinced sho i.i
far happier now than sho has been for
tho last fifteen months past."
Eight months nfter Speed had mar
ried Mr. Lincoln wrote him:
"But I want to ask a close question:
'Are you now In feeling aa well as
Judgment glad that you aro married as
you aro? From anybody but mo this
would bo an Imprudent question not to
bo tolerated; but I know you will pardon
it ln me. Please answer It quickly, as I
am impatient to know."
Mr. Lincoln's object In asking this
"close question" is manifest. Mr. Speed
gave tho answer quickly and satisfac
torily, and on tho fourth of November
(1812), ono month exactly after the
question had been submitted, Mr. Lin
coln was married.

THE STAR OF CHRIST.
IT MAY BE SEEN AGAIN BEFORE
END OF YEAR.

Coudltlons of the Heavens Favorable
to the Beautiful Visitor.
ILL the star of
Bethlehem, which
guided tho "wise
men" of the Bible,
appear during tho
closing years of
this century? There
nrc many astrono
mers who confident
ly predict Its rqap
pearancc, nnd tho
recent disturbances
n tho heavenly bodies havo encouraged
mmo to believe that great astronomical
phenomenon is approaching. Accord
ing to the calculations of tho past, the
star should appear somo time between
1890 and 1895, and tho present year
being tho last of tho tlmo Bet for it,
thero is considerable anxtoty displayed
by thoso interested In the question. In
the year 1572 tho star appeared the last
tlmo, and of Its nppearanco then we
havo the most trustworthy account.
"Ono evening aa I was wntchlng the
heavens in my accustomed manner,"
Tyoho Brahe writes, "I saw, to my as
tonishment, In the constellation of Cas
siopeia, a brilliant star of unusual clear
ness." A fow nights before this the
author-astronomer, Cornelius Gemma,
saw tho Btar, and called It tho "new
Venus." Both men thought this won
derfully brilliant phenomenon of tho
heavens was tho old star of Bethlehem,
nnd Its nppenrance at that tlmo tallied
with Its periodical appearance ln 1201,
SMB. 30 and 315. In 12G1 tho Bohemian
astronomer and astrologer, Cyprian Lo
wltz, gives nn account or the appearance
ln tho heavens of a wonderfully at
tractive star that had not been thero
before. In his accounts we hnvo simi
lar descriptions of tho strange visitor,
appearing suddenly and moving grad
ually away, until Anally swallowed up
In space. To him, also, wo aro indobted
for nn account of tho samo star, which
appeared ln 945, when tho heavens
seemed to be lighted up by this strango
heavenly phenomenon. The Chlncso
chroniclers, who watched the heavens
with great enro, also mention the ap
pearance of a comet or new henvenly
body, which they thought meant disas
ter to their crops. It did not bring any
ill luck to the country, and tho common
people then attributed Its appearance
to their good gods, nnd they rejoiced
that tho "one-eyed" was looking down
upon them.
There havo been altogether twenty
Bix historical accounts of tho nppear
anco of Btrango now stars In tho heav
ens. Many astronomers reason from
this that should nn unusually brilliant
star appear this year, it would not in
dicate that it was tho old star of Beth
lehem. They say that the wlso men
simply saw Venus at tho tlmo of its
greatest splendor. Others assume that
tho star was occasioned by tho conjunc
tion of planets, or that It was n comet.
In 182C the German astronomer Idclor,
suggested that the star was a conjunc
tion of plnnotH. nnd Encko repeated it
In 1831. To utipport their theory, thoy
show thnt thero wbb a conjunction of
Jupiter, Mars and Saturn in September
of tho year 3 B. C.
During tho Inst year unusual dis
turbances and appearances ln the heav
enly bodies have been noticed by tho
scientists, as If they wero somewhat
affected by tho nttrnctlvo force o'f an
other body not regularly uctlng upon
them. Moro meteoric Bhowcrs hnvo
been reported in tho southern part of
the world than usual, and storms of
great destructlvenoss havo swept over
tho whole globo. Tho coldness of tho
last winter is attributed by astronomers
to tho Inlluenco of tho planets, nnd
whenever a comet hnB npproached tho
earth In tho past, unusual weather has
prevailed beforehand, as ir to announce
Its coining. Moreover, tho powerful
tolescopeo now used for scanning tho
hcavenB reveal an unusual number of
eclipses, ns If tho disturbance hnd
caused some of the lesser bodies to trav
el n llttlo out of their courses. Tho
wonderful vnrlnblo star Algol, In Pcre
sus, for instance, lias constantly of Into
undergone groat changes. A dnrk body,
almost iiB largo as Algol, hns several
times blotted out Its oxistenco from our
view. Tho nppearanco of this lingo black
object Is a mystery to astronomers to
day. Then tho snows of Mnrs, which
havo so long been visible to powerful
telescopes, havo gradually disappeared,
Early last October It was roportcd that
tho polar snow cap of Mars had en
tirely disappeared. No such rapid nnd
unexplnlned dlsnppenranco of tho Bnow
on tho earth or on Mars has ever boforo
been reported. Jupiter, In its recent
appearances, has boon moro brilliantly
bolted than over boforo, and nB It rlBes
it displays an unwonted profusion of
color. Venus has boon shrouded in
moro or less showers of motoors, so thnt
Us faco could not bo seon distinctly,
but whon tho atmosphere did for a short
tlmo clear up, It shono with unusual
brilliancy. Its brightness lu tho last
few months has attracted considerable
nttentlon, oven nmong thoeo who nro
not expert 'Jstar gazers." All of thes
racts, lauen in conjunction with the
changing condition of tho weather upon
tho earth, havo led many to predict tho
approachof something unusual In tho
solar system. This object will, very
likely, bo a new star, comet or wonder
