Aa Atlilctic Empress. The Empress of Austria, who has for sev- eral years followed the hounds in Ireland and England, will hunt this year in the neighborhood of ber favorite estate, Godollo, in Hungary. The love of the Empress for horses and do?s amounts to a veritable pas- sion, and she maintains at Godollo an am- phitheatre in which she rivals the ring of per- formances of her favorite proteges, the Par- isian ecnycres, and of the stars which Herr Rentz, the continental circus man, brings out in his magnificent productions of the hors.e opera. As a young girl, the Empress was devoted to field sports, but her ambition to excel as a horsewoman is said by the gossips of Vienna to date from the day when she discovered that Herr Rentz' sprightly daughter Katherina, better known as "Kaetchen" in canvass-covered circles, wasa sub-rosa friend of hislmperial Majesty Fran^ Jo3e]!h and drew a handsome pension from the Emperor's private, exchequer. Elizabeth determined to outdo her profession- al rival m the refinements of the equc jtrian art. The task was no easy one, for Kate Een'z years ago, before she reached tl:e adipo-.e period of German womanhood, could cle.ir a Sv-ven-foot bar on her English hunter even in the narrow limits of tha sawdust riiij^. But the Empress had the nerYe to try anything that any other wonian had done in the sadille, and she commanded, of cour3e, the best horseflesh in the world, and he is to day acknowledged the best ' gentleman rider" of her sex. Tiie EmpreiS El'zabe' h is the youngest wcniin of her years iu Europe. With the honors of a grandmother, she has reached the time v/bcn the national tendency to make flesh assert ictelf, an, I as a matter of comfort to herself and her horses she re i^ularly trains fur the h inting. ae.aou. 3ue has been pass- ing the later summer at her chateau at Jschl, an i her regimtn there was 8ugges*^ive of the professional athlete.

With the coming of the fir»t hosX^ the Imperial Diana will ge. out lier horses and hounds with the full determinitioa of beatitg the record, and as the deer and foxes on lier ctates have been cirefiiHy preserved iiX some yeai-j; she will probably succeed. ric^y "Women Bress tn the East. Every fewminutffs (writes a contributor to twA Geullemau'ii Majczi!ic)yoVi meet a group of Careiie ladies closely veiled, with the •white muslin or black silk y shmak and a group of atttnilants.

Use his eyes should rest on so much vailed loveliness. Even the working drud /es who are Oiten elaborately tattooed, are equrdly strict iu keeping the face virtuously cuveied, thoauh the rest of their drapery may be caught up or blown about ia such style as scarcely suits our notions of decency. The same thing coutinually strikes one among the Hindoo women, who would be eternally digra^-^d by the faiutest approach to our ordinary evening toilet, but who have no manner o; objec'vioi to displaying a wide "lucid intetval"' between the arm and the w^aist, and any amount of uastockined ankle I remember a Hindoo gentleman re- marking that on his first viiit to a London drawiag-room he wished he could have hid- den himself anywhere, he felt so shocked at the company m which he found himself. (A 8 ;mewhat similar comment was made by a young harvest la i at a harvest-homo, which was always attended by the laird's daught- ers. On one occasion a friend accompanied them, very mnch decollete -, and, as he sat at the end of the room among the evergreens, the lad gazed in open-mouthed admiration till the lady rose, and when he saw that "It wasna' a waxen ima^e, br.tareallcddy," he fau'ly left the room in horror !) There are several other contrasts m the dress habits of the eastern and western world. One is the respect involved iu piling extra yards on the turban as the acme of venera- tion â€" more especially on holy days â€" in op- position to the custom of taking ofif the hat. I suppose it must be some such lingering tradition of Oriental fashion which makes the â-  Jews wear their hats in the synagogue even in western lands. And so, whereas our poor folk in Scotland, even smart lassies with fine bonnets, will rarely put on their shoes and stockings till they are near the kirk, or "big hooee," no Hindoo or Moham- medan of the highest rank would enter yoiir dr3win;-room or any temple or moeqoe with his slippers on â€" the dust of the onter world must not pollute any dwelling worthy of they, should "be the greeu turbans of Islain) i4 the most sacred taken of inviolable friend- 'K,^^ ship. land, the fundamcBfaflpfiiiciple ©: the ^levsm ^J^^^i^^f^'ir,^-^^ ^J^^ family.

"You're as sweet as apeach," he said, pat- ting her softly on the cheek. " Yes," she murmured, snuggling still nearer to him, "I'm a cliagstone."

A southern paper says the alligator de- stroys millions of mosquitoes by letting them settle on his jaws and then swallowing them. Ladies who are annoyed by the pests might rid themselves of the nuisance by keeping an alligator in the bedroom during the night, but there su-e some women who would prefer the mosquitoes. They would as soon have a mouse loose in their chamber as an al- ligator. At a wedding, not long since, among the presents displayed was a $1,000 bank note from the father of the bride.
