A CRYING MISTAKE.
A pastor of Brooklyn relates in ade
nominatlonal paper a circumstance which
illustrates at once two crying evils, tbat
of being a little man, and tbat of having
one's abbreviation mistaken for somebody
else. Making pastoral eall on a family
of bis cooicreeatlon, where a ladv re
sided who had been excessively annoyed
by " runaway rings," ana woo, mat uaric
evening, as it happened, had determined
to watcn the young rascals who ana
Dlaved these pranks upon her, he found
blmself at tbo front door, at the instant of
rlnidnii the bell, seized by tbe hair and
bis head placed in Coventry and pounded
witn ruariui vigor, no exclaiming at every
whack, " Madam I madam I ploaso do-
slit," which only added to tbo tenacity of
tbe adhnrent, for sho shrieked, "Don't
madam me, you young scamp," and
"Don't beg for mercy, you little monitor
for you shall have none," tho assailant
bavlnn ber own wav till it obviously was
crowing difficult for her, to continuo to
bavo it. With a florco efibrt she dragged
tho offender into the hall that sho might
discover by tbo gaslight who he was, and,
as sho threatened, "tell his mother."
On discovering tbat her victim was her
own kind minister, she protested bor sor
row and such solaces wore provided as
tbe family could command. Yet tbo
wounds of tho relator romained frosh and
soro for days after, and that Inflicted on
his sensibility to an abridgment of per
sonal stature continues ghastly still.
OLD-TIME BEAUTIES.
CORRUPTION.
From tho Washington Herald.
Something muit bo dona to stom this
tide of corruption. If nothing is dono wo
will soon bo advertising for our lost liber
ties. Hero wo have, in an anonymous en
closure, a freo pass over tbo International,
Houston and Great Nortborn Railroad
company for and during tbo year 1873.
Some idea of the magnitude of this brlbo
may bo formed from the fact that it passes
oursolves and our baggago, and our carpet-baggage,
under certain conditions,
over tbo entiro length of ninety miles on
tho road mentioned, tbat being tbe amount
of road built. It will startle tbo
publib to know that, In order to avail our
selves of this unsolicited compliment, we
have only to buy a ticket to Cairo, thenco
to Lllllo Rock, Fulton.and other stations
oasy of access on tbe Red river, and are
then dead-lieadod ovor this vast stretch of
nluety long miles. Mindful of Credit
Mobiller, panel games, and all sorts of
similar "buck-slap," wo rospectfully de
cline tbo proffered compliment, and ro
turn it to the non, Galusba A. Grow,
with tbo admonition that he place it
where it will do tbo most good.
AJ01ENlr AND MODERN WOMEN
-SOMETHING AIJOUTTUEIU
KASOINATION3 AND
SURROUNDINGS.
The. Wisconsin annual town mealing
will be held on the first Tuesday of April,
when will bo elected a justice ot the su
preme court for tbo full term of six years,
v lea Crassnua Cola., who will probably be
the only candidate ; and a chief justice In
place of Luther 8. Dixon, whose term euds
it 1176, If that gentleman shall resign, as
it is reported ha will. County Judges art
also to be elected throughout the state.
Uypatla, the Greek pbylosopber and
religious martyr, Zenobia, tbo beautiful
but unfortunate Palmyrian Cueon, aud
Aipuia, the companion and competitor
of Pericles, and of whom Madame do
Stuel ay: "Sho U u model of female
lovlinesi, an Alexander of horoiim," are
scarcely prototypes of any of tho women
of moro modern times. Yet tho history
of the lait and present centuries furniih
many inslrnccs of notnblo woinm who
havo mada -their influence felt In tho
atlalr of thoir tituo. Tbe character of tbat
influence' and to what good and, are not
always apparent, but the fact aud tho
magnitude ara undouplod.
Mine, do Pompadour probably fur
niihes the most notable example that ran
be found In any ago or country of what
an education intondod merely for show, in
conjunction with woman's tact, can ac
complish. Of obiouro parontngu, sbo was
adopted and educacated by a rich finan
cier, and married her cousin, Lu Nor
ma y l'Elioles, who was said to be a man
of whom any woman mlitht bo proud, and
who lovod her devotedly. She, however,
left her husband to enjoy iTfe royal favor
of Louis XV. who mado bor tho Mar
qui. a de Pompadour. Sho becamo the
close friend and political advisor of tho
King; tho undoubtod Premior of Franco,
appointing ministers, ambassadors, gen
erals and maintaining correspondence
with foreign courts. Tbe royal council
convened in her boudoir. Maria Tbarota,
for political enas. addressed her us ''ma
couiiuo." Hor extravagance know no
limit; sho lightened thu King's treasury
during bor short reign over 150,000,000.
Sho died at about forty-five, at tho zenith
of her power, This wownn acqulrod and
held her influence by ihcor fofco of what
might be called surface facination, her ed
ucation having beon of tbe ornumeiital
type, expressly confined to music, elocu
tion, and drawing. Sho poiicsscd great
beauty of fnco and flguro, and cultivated
dress as a flno art. lu temperament cold,
hoartlojs and ambitious, evuu grace of facu
and parson was mado subservient to some
selfish puapoee. Her chief power un
douptcdly lay in tho skillful handling of
her forcos to moot the demands of tho .
vacilating Ktag.
Among tne women fumnui for beauty,
wit, and want f modesty in tho time
of Lotus XV. Ninon do l'Enclos wai
the most notorious. Though oponlp do
pjaved, she was not entirely excluded
from tho higer ranks of societo. Tbo
young son of Madame de Sovlgno wm
said to havo as onamored of Ninon when
she was City-four years old, as was his fa
ther in his youth. She Is said to havo
proserved her beauty and appearance of
youth to the last.
Madame de Ptaol was one of tho
French women who did not rulo society
or facinato by beauty or vices. Sho a
mused herself at tbo earle ace of oleven
by writing comedies and tragedies. She

Montacuo House, London,, is ono of the
landmarks of modern society. To Mrs.
Montunue's entertainment crowded the

cried: Lbs has blous," and tho society

Mrs. Montague. Sbo was clever as a

her letters, probably from a play-bill, she
lived to elgbty.two, to figure in the most
elegant neighborhood in London, among
tha molt aristocratic society In tho world.
She had fund of Irish drollery, which

Tbe American women have not hueu
taught "wit in six leisoni," as they do in

presldont, spont hor early years in En

wlfo gracofully performed hor part in the
higher circles of social and political life
both beforo and after her husband became
proiident.
Mrs. Hancock, wife of John Hancock,
govenor of Massachusetts, and aftorward
presldont of the first congress, was ac
knowledged to possess wonderful beauty.
She was thoroughly high bred, had a
courtly manner and flno conversational
powors. Sbo was for years coniidored one
of tho "wonders of tho age," and was vis
ited until tbo closo of her life by distin- i
gulshcd persons from foreign countries, as

Mrs. J. J. Rosevelt was leader of soci

had bad the advantago of tbe best society
abroad when quito a young lady, and was
married in Paris in 1831, in the pretence
of many dlitlngulsbed friends, among

In later days Mrs. Jesse Fremont wai
our most noted conversationalist. Her

Mrs. Harrison Gray Otis was tbe "no

familiar to us than of any other living
woman. It was many years ago that she
otablished tboie delightful little tea and
caka Saturday morning receptions and
Thursday ovoniOg soiroes at her bouse in
tioston. Aiany notea people, dear to us
through thoir works, were proud to call
Mrs. Otis their friend, and to onjoy the
quiet, elegant hospitalities of her modest
little house on the cornor of Joy and
Mount Vornon streets.
WHAT CHARLES RE ADE CALLS
A COUNTRY WOMAN
OF HIS.
TFrom tbe New York Tlmcs.1
It will bo remembored that whan Mr.
Roude's story, "The Wandering Heir,"
was published here, soon after Christmas,
a correspondent of ours wrote to call at
tention to mo very palpable resemblances
wiiiou existed ooiween many passages put
lorwaru oy jir. iteaaeas nis own, and por
tions of Swift's "Diary of a Lady of Fash
ion." In some cases, tbe language and
mougni weru luenticauy too same. At
about the vory time our correspondent
was writing to us, tue 'Atnenajum' pub
lished a very similar lettor. alio express
ing Mr. Itoado's plagiarisms. Mr. Reade
replied in a very violent and abusive
munnor, rind to bis latter bis critic sends
tho following excellent rejoinder (Athe
mum,' Fob. 1.) It is calculated to make
Mr. Reado a little less "splenetic and rash"
for the futuro :
I must beg you to give me a littlo space
to defend royielf from, an attack made
upon mo by Mr. unaries Heads In a con
tomnorarv periodical. Mv latter to vou
of January 4 on Mr. Reades plagiarism of
Dean awnt, nas urawn irom M.r. iieade
some rather curious language; and to
show how inappropriate that language is,
I must give somo description of mysolf.
I am a quiet woman, living in a country
village, wuicu l scareiy over leave, x
havo never written for tbe press, not done
any literary work wbatsoover, therefor, I
nood hardly add, I bavo novor received
money for anything written. I am quite
unknown to tbe world. I soldom look at
a newspapor or road modern literature. I
did not even know until yesterday of the
present oxistonco of that period
ical In which Mr. Reado reviles mo.
f. lln..ln ..llo inn II. I.l.l.ln. . .....
rilous Bkunk, a pioudonymunculo;" and,
moreover, says ho would not admit mo to
his. kitchen, and that I have told "a He,
which is a libol;" also tbat I am in tho pay
of the Athenssm; also tbat what I wroto
concerning bis plagiarism was J'snobblsb,"
wberoas, ho says his own crime is tbat he
has "written too woll." I, a woman, en
tirely unknown, find mysolf, becoming
tamous wnon a great in novelist takes
tbo troublo to answer my lettor and call
me a scurrilous skunk. As to tbo bj brld
word pioudonymunculo, 1 suppose it
means a little wrltor under a false name;
I can only say that I am not a writer, as
tho word is understood, and tbat C. F. are
really tbe Initial lotters of my name. You
are at liberty to give Mr. Reado my name
and address, If he requires thorn, and if
you think hit great anger will not bring
bim down to our nulefvillage to frighten
a poor lady.
Mr. Reade defends himsolf by saying
tbat Virgil,. Milton, Mollere, Shaksspear.i
uornai i. ncott. xieioe. an piaKiarisea I
but ho forget they Improved what they
used, whereas Mr. Reade merely converts
good pootry of Swift into very common-
sense prose, xuero is in tne "Anti
Jacobin," page 80, January 32, 1709, a
note (probably by Canning) on tha
axnresifon " kidnapped rhymes." "Kid
napped Implies something mora than ate
len. It is. according to an expression of
Mr. Sheridan', (in the 'Crltfe'), osiag
other people's thoughts, as gypsleedo sto
len children disfiguring there to Make
them pas for their awn? It it a serious
charge against as author, and ought W to
well supported." Ia my letter of Janu
ary 4, I did thoroughly support the
charge I made.
Mr. Reade styles blmself "an .old gen
tleman, honorably connected with letters."
1 am a young women, not connected witb
letters beyond the enjoyment and enter
tainment afforded me by books ; bat I
think I may modestly say to Mr. Ksade,
in the. words of the title of one of hit nov
els, "It Is never too late to mend."
