casti.es in the air. JAMES BAIU5TISE. Thebonnle,bonnie baim Who sit with careless grace, til'vwetlng in the lire With his wee round face, Laushlng at the gusty flame What sees he there? Ha! the young dreamer. Builds castles In the air. His wee chubby face And his rough curly head Are dancing and nodding To the tire Id its bed : He'll brown his rosy cheeks, And singe his sunny hair, Staring at the imps W ith their castles in tee air. He sees lofty towers Rising to the moon ; He sees little soldiers Pulling them all down ; Worlds rushing np and down. Blazing with a flareSee how he taaps As they glimmer in the air. For all co sage he looks. What can the laddie ken? He's thinking upon nothing, Like many mighty men. A wee thing makes us think, A wee thing makes us stare ; There are more folks than him Building castles in the air. Such a Ight in winter May well make him cold ; His chen urxm his chubby hand WiUsoon make him old. His bvow is smooth and broad OU, -pray that busy care Would let the wean alone, WKn his castles in the air! Hell glower at the fire, And he'll glance at the light, But many sparkling stars Are swallowed up in night; Older eyes than his Are dazzled by a glare; H-arts are broken, heads are turned, With castles in the air. . AN OLD SAILOR'S YARNS. Xb Ancient Mariner IMafonrsea 'Lager Beer and Teira the Tale of a Red Shirt. 4'0ne of the most perplexlnist things," said the old sailor, as he mopped his face with a red bandanna handkerchief, "in this terrible hot weather is to know rightly what to drink. Water aint to be thought ol lest it's iced; and if iced it's dangerous and should be avoided by prndent people. I've known lots as has died from ice-water, which are as dangerous in its way as forty rifle whisky and should be let alone as sich. Well, rum and spirits ginerally is heat in' end excitin' and dreadful unsatisfactory, fiakin' drunk come long afore thirst are aenched, and no man shouldn't ought to touch 'em with the markury at 70 degrees. Ale are good, of course ; ao in an shall eve? hear sue say a word agin ale, but for a stiddy bevridge in weather like the present, uxless a onan has got a very strong Lead and a awful equable constitution, it'll make him talk of his rich relations afore the day are done. Upon the whole, sir, I allows as how lager .re the tipple for vartuons citizens these swelterin' days, which, like London wimin's laced tea, is cheeriu and not inebriating The last, however, sir, are a fiction what are called a poetic license, both as regards the tea and the lager. The man as fays that lager won't intoxicate, either don't know what h, are a talkin' about or else are a willful deceiver; it will do it, sir, sartin, sure, but it requires parsav erin' drinkin' for to accomplish it, and in the ordinary course of tjuencbin one-s thirst lager won't intoxi cate. It s only when a man drinks for sociability's sake that he'll ever hurt hisself a drinking lager. I 'spose, sir, -as you've seen it, although you're but a youngster, but I've seen it time and agin, four of five fools, I may call 'em, having often been one of 'em, sit tin' round a table, and heavin' beer into 'em clear agin their gorges. " Conie, let's have another round: fill 'em up agin,' one feller will say; he don't want it and none of the rest don't want it, and tbn number two will take up the same cry, end then number three; and from glasses they has to come down to ponies, just cause their kegs is full and they can't hold it, and co it goes, and if it continues long enough they'll all git drunk. These are the abuse of Iser, and not the use. which I say confidently and without fcar f contradiction will be e benefit and no injury to any one which amply drinks it when he's thirsty. It are a-atisfyin' drink, too, and don't promote a s poetite for more, which I've roticed area peculiarity of hot rum, but it are like the 'swipes' we used to git in a Liverpool bordin' house arte r one or to glasses you don't want n sot more. miy in the case or the swipes ' the reason were because it were so poor, whereas that aint so with lager, not by no a aimer of means, ana l think tue man as invented it w-ew as great a benefactor to his race as him as invented-double tof-sail yards. A to how to -drink it, there's dlflerent opin io ns. As far as taste are concerned there aint no doubt but what it's best from the stone, as ale aie from the pewter, but man have eyes aa well a. palstes, and there's no denyia' as lager are a beentiful lookin' beveridpe.and a part of the pleasure of ilnnkin it is derived from the sight of its mby am-

l ber topped with its vrei.lth of snow like J foam.' There airt no half way, sir, about f drinkin1 lager. To my mind yoc must

JJ elferrtake it out of a trr thin goblat, and

the tnianer me Deuer, or ei9e as we are takin' It iow from the stone. Them 'Dutch mugs vuth nandlee is a abomination, ana a man as rill take lager beer out of thenc long tbinrs wkich they calls schooners, are a brute destitute of finer feelin's. "B;ifc here I are, air, a aeanderin on, which I didn't mean to be a temperance lecture, and was draw'd into on accounts of the heat, which I don't deny (s severe; tout nothin o'gh on to what I seer, once when I were into the Regulator.

yaeveiopin , among otner tiamzs, in a mwi ( unaccountable antipathy to" a ltd shirt. I Whther he tboogat it were unlucky or what I don't know but I reckons it were 'causa of its resemblance to a sojer'a dun-

osgp, he bavin' the nateral anuor a ant patby to sich- Whatever it were, sir, howa'ever, M ever .a ma,n come near him with red fhirl onto him, he'd surely git a good cttrsin' if cot saaiethin' worse. "We was from Boston, bound round the Horn to San Francisco, and bein blessed cold 1 weathr when we started, I goes to work and I buys me oik of these here double breasted r . . . - , 1 1 n tA 1 things wnat iue urenieu wear, namin reu, and which answers for monkey jacket, pea jacket and overshirt all to once. I paid a biff price for it. and were awful proud of it, and coin' aft to the wheel at 4 o'clock of the first day out, It ein' com enouga to ireezs the handle off of a iron pot, wiui iresn norwt s-iualls and hail. I slaps this here shirt on and congratulated myself on my wisdom inbuyin'it The old man was a walkin' the deck a smokin', and ahe were a Dili n' off ifore the wind tinder douwe reeled topsails, srhole courses, jib and spanker.

"As he come aft arter I got to the wheel he takes one look at me, and says he: 44 4Who the are your . 'My Dame is Tom, sir,' says I. 'You aint no sailor, says he. 'You're a lc-b6ter, a marine, a sojer,' says he. "'Well, sir,' says L " 'No bsck talk,' says be, and be hauls off and lends me one under the ear as fetched me clean over the wheel into the lee scuppers; then he sings out, 'Relieve the wheel here, this lobster ain't steer; I want a railorman here.' "Well, sir, as I were a goin' for'atd, in pretty bad humor you may be sure, the mate he says, 'Don't mind him, Tom; it's only his wsv. " 'Damn his way, says I, impolitely as I must allow, but my feelin's was hurted. "Says the mate, 'Go for'ard and take off that red shirt and come att and steer your trick out; it's that as Is a doin' of it; he can't abear red, and I believes the reason is he were jilted in love once by a widder as used for to wear red ribbons into her bonnet.' Well, sir, I goes for'ard and shifts into a blue shirt and away aft I goes agin. I must ay I were a little trepidated for fesr old Welden, as we got to callm' him, would notice me, and I didn't want another clip from him, 'cause his hand were heavy; but be never didn't take no notice, and I took the wheel and him as had relieved me went for'ard. Presently the old man, he says as mild as milk, 'how does she go, my man?" 'Fust rate, sir,' says I, 'steers like a boat.' "Arter standin' by the wheel for a short time a watchin' roe take her along, he says, 'you steers a good trick, my man. I can see as you are a sailor man all over; there was a lobster looking sojer here awhile ago, as was a yawin' her all over the Atlantic ocean, and if ever I catches him onto this poop again overboard he goes if I swings for it.' " 'Very well,' I says to myself; 'so long as the wind are in that quarter no more red shirt for me. I didn't see no reason, hows'ever, why I should lose it, and the next day in the forecastle I turns the conversation onto dunnage, and produced my red shirt as a specimen of body coverin' as couldn't be equalled. There were a chap of the name of Bill Cunningham, as took a great shine to that shirt, but I never let on as I wanted to fart with it. and finally Bill says, 'Tom, I'd ike right well to have that shirt, and I'll tell you what I'll do; I'll giv you two blue ones for it.' " 'Throw m a plug of tobacco,' says I, 'and the crimson garmint are yourn.' " "Tis well,' says Bill, and he were at once the happy possessor of this new red emblem of future punishment "Somehow or other, arter a day or two Bill didn't secn to care about wearin' his new shirt, and one day he says to me, 'Tom, I'm sorry I bought that shirt of you; I don't think it suits my complaint I'm humory a little as well as blue; how would you like to trade back again, leavin' out the tobacco? '"No, says I; 'I guess not; I'm content.' " 'Well,' says he, 'give me one of the blue shirts and take the red one.' "Afore I could speak a chap of the name of Crickmore over on tother side of the forecastle sings out, 'I'll give you a blue shirt for it and a couple of plugs of tobacco into the bargain.' "Crick didn't like the shirt no more than Bill and I had, and he soon swapped it off to a chap in t'other watch for a pair of satinet trousers. and be in turn traded it off for some boots. All this while there weren't a word said about old Welden's concentricity. Every man as got the shirt soon found out as he didn't wan't it no longer, but kep' shady so as he could dispose of it to a advantage, and 'twere traded off and traded off till nigh onto every man in the ship's company had been the owner of it, and finally it were without a purchaser, and was owned by a chap of the name of Higgins, and whatever do he do but goes away to the steward one night in the last dog watch, and arter remarking about the weather and so on, which were now gittin' quite warm, this here Higgins says, 'Steward, I'd like awful well for to have a glass of grog; couldn't you work the oracle?" " 'Couldn' t be did,' s iys the steward, 'there ain't none on board 'cept into the old man's room, as is his private stock.' " 'lie are np on deck,' says Higgins, 'and steward, I'll tell you what; I've got one of the most magnificent woolen shirts as ever you laid your eyes onto, worth at least five dollars of any man's money, but I want a glass of grog so much that if you'll bone one for me from the old man's room I'll give you the shirt' " 'Let's see it,' says the steward, and away goes Higgins and fetches it. It took the steward's eye at once, and says be, 'You keep an eye on the old man and I'll go and git you a regular snif cer.' " ' All right my boy, says Higgins, and the steward fetched him, as be told me arterward, a regular second mate's nip, four fingers and a trifle over, and took the shirt "Next mornin the mate comes for'ard lookin' as melancholy as a sick monkey onto a lee back stay, and says he, 'Git your palms and needles there, a couple of you, and come raft to the cabin, the steward has unfortudately died through the night and I wants Cum sewed up decent' "Me and Higgins was the first to respond and goin' aft we found the body laid out on the cabin table, with the canvas already around it bein part of a old to'gallan' sail as had been got by the steward, mate and him, aaad the mate bad fixed it ready for sewin' up. Afore we took a stitch, however, Higgins says, 'Tom, there's one thing I want to see afore we does this job, 'and pulhn' open the-canvas he exposed to view that identical red shirt as I had bought in Boston. When the mate teen what we was a doin' of he sing.? out: " "What the are you about, there? why don't you get on with your job? If you can't do it I'll get somebody as can.' "So we dwln't say nothin', but sewed away tcarin' as usual our needles through the nets when -finished, and that day at eight bells in the afternoon he was buried. Otd Welden readiK.' the services beautiful, 'cept that when he came to the part where it says, 'commit this body to the deep,' he used the word 'lobster' for body, which sot me a

thinkin', and that night I says to Higgins, 'I'm feetn' pretty bad about the steward; almost feel responsible for his death..' " 'Tom,"' says he, 'don't say nothit', but it is my opsnion that if he hadn't never wore that red t"hirt he'd be alive now,' and I couldn't help thinkin' aa Higgins were right "Well, then, as I were eayin' abott the head but kless my soul; here it are nigh on to two bells; I'll just take one more stein Aid be oft for home and the old womak." SCA. m m What n People Matte It. I3tv York Sun. "The greatest failure or toe year," sfs the Charleston Joarnal of Commerce, "is the cew silver dollar. Great is congress!-" True, congress is foolish, as our contemporary E&cans to say; but in this instance its folly waa not altogether its own. There were several millions of people who were behind it nrging it on, and who were bigger fools than tlie representatives who enacted that ninety eents should be a dollar. Asa general proposition, it Is not worth while to abuse congress much, for congress is just what the people make it It Is now said tba; the duke of Cumberland, the claimant to the throne of Hanover, is to marry that much abused child, the Princess Beatrice.

RELIGIOUS PEOPLE.

"The Sower Went Forth to Sow.' For the Sunday Sentinel.1 Go, workman, in the field of life, to sow The seed that has been glveoj thee; but know That seed shall bring forth nothing but its kind,. And If the borders of thy path are one day . lined With weeds most foul, and thorns to tear thy feet, Remember, it is but fruition meet. If from the enemy the seeds of tares and thorns Fill both thy busy hands In life's fair morn, A hundred fold shalt thou at evenln reap, And otub:, after thou shalt fall asleep, Shall harder labor in their pathway find, Because of weeds which tbou hast left behind. But being sure the seed's from Him who ne'er A single weed among his wheat will spare, Then sow, from early dawn to dewy eve ; Nor pause till He who sent shall give thee leave, Not though the early bird shall warble sweet. And fragrant field flowers blossom at thy feet. Though murmuring stream, and gently floatlug cloud. And all the voices of the mornin? call aloud, And thousand beauties blustering round thee ask Thy soul to leave its Heaven apjiolnted task Yet fall not in thy sowing; this may be The place where largest harvest thou shalt see. And when the noontide heat shall o'er thee burn, And all thy strength to feebleness shall turn; Then rest a little 'neath the rock's cool shade. The Owner of the field lias tills provision made, And of the fountain drink, which from it flows. Who framed thee from the dust thy weakness knows. But, thus refreshed, thy labor quick resumeMost fruitful seed mayhap is sown at noon. When from dark western woods Ions shadows creep Across the fallow fields thy feet to meet, Still p8 use not, till the night shall give thee rest. Of all thy work this hour's may be thy best. Indianapolis, July 21, 1878. Talmnge is swinging his arms and legs at Martha's Vineyard The state association of Universalists meets in Fort Wayne August 1. A clergyman of Wilmington, N. C, has come out in favor of educational barbecues. ' Mr. and Mrs. Frame, the evangelists, have arrived in Muncie and located permanently. Forty bishops, thirty-one of them foreign and colonial, occupied London pulpits on Sunday, the 7th. A.n effort is being made to raise $200,000 for the decoration or St Paul's cathedral in London with Mosaics. Fond du Lac, Wis., has given a grand religious "boss trot" for the benefit of a local church. It was very successful. The Boston Post says that Beecher eats with his knife. But, then, in that Til ton case he did not have to fork over. About forty Chinese have recently united with the Presbyterian mission at Pekin. A revival is also prevailing at Tungchow. The pope in Jerusalem! What a sight! The world had ne'er seen such an Israel light! The theosophical society of New Yrork is making elaborate preparations to send out missionaries to convert people from Christianity to heathenism. A praying badd, three churches and a young men's association have combined in Oberlln, Ohio, against the first billiard room opened in that place. The Christian Union calls the Bev. Joseph Cook a setting star. The eminent Boston divine is bound to lose his popularity if his enemies can so planet Ex Bishop McCoskrey, the one who got into trouble or eometing or other with a girl, has skipped off to Europe. Mrs. McCoskrey went along to keep the old man straight It is very depressing to a summer congregation to see the minister, in the most eloquent and impassioned passage of his sermon, eesture with one hand and fight flies with the other. The Rev. Dr. Milburn, "the blind preacher," having returned from a two years' travel through the united kingdom, proposes to lecture during the winter on "What a blind man saw while abroad." A Cincinnati clergyman has been preaching to show that Mary Magdalen was a pure woman. Yiodication is in the air, and somebody will yet apply for the contract to whitewash Eliza Pinkston. The Catholics of Mount Vernon are making preparations for., the erection of a new church to be commenced early next spring. A fair will be held about the first of September to raise funds to assist the church. Dean Stanly recently lectured on "Presence of Mind," and when a vote of thanks to the lecturer was passed by acclamation, replied: "lam very much obliged to you; I shall show my presence of mind by silence." . The Canadian Orangemen will take no further steps till the courts have passed upon their status and their right to march. They intend, however, to look up the old statutes, and see if they can't have the Jesuits expelled from Canada.' Learning of the death of Mercedes, Queen Victoria telegraphed the king as follows: "Dear brother, my heart bleeds for you. What an awful misfortune it has pleased God to send you! May He give you strength to bear this terrible loss." There is more hope for the world. Even the Jewish women are beginning to be tainted with woman's rights notices. They ask that the benediction, "Blessed art Thou, O Eternal, our God, that Thou hast not made me a woman," be expunged from the Jewish ritual. The Presbyterian church has declared war against the Evangelists. The general assembly adopted a report strongly condemning lay preaching as contrary to the Word of God, against the peace and harmony of the church, and contrary to the church government One of those Sunday-school teachers who are always desirous of drawing out the ideas of children, asked her class what they supposed Daniel said when he was placed In the lion's den. One of her scholars, who ha a fractical turn of mind, ansvered, "Good-by! 'm a goner!" Dr. Tyrrell, bishop, of Newcastle, Australia, is a bachelor of 70, who went to the antipodes in 181 and invested his means in Eroperty. HJ owns 16 estates, which bring iru in about 1100,000 a year net. He has

written in-his will that at his death their profits shall be put aside till they reach $1.2o0,000,iwhich sum shall then go to his diocese. Jews frequently lapse into skepticism, but are not understood to often become converts to any form of Christian theology. The British society for the propagation of the Gospel ardong the Jews claims, however, that sincd 1813 there have been over 100 church of England clergymen who were Hebrews. I The sultin lately gave a reception to a corps of sisters of charity sent to his army by the queen of Saxony, on which occasion he thanked them for their courage and devotion, an presented each with, a medal. Coffee and herbet were served, and Osman Pasha presented each with $250. Mr. Stephens has been addressing a Sunday school in Augusta, Ga. He said: "Boys, if you have aspirations for public position, seek it only to do good to others. Have no other object than to confer blessings upon your neighbors; and, in conclusion, never seek to be great further than you are good." The Jews, while in convention at Milwaukee week before last, made a wise proposition, to ths effect that large quantities of land in the south and west should be purchased, ana the children of the orphan asylums, when large enough to take care of themselves should be settled there. This would be ffactical charity, of which more is needed in this country. Tney don't take photographs in Persia, because the Mohammedan religion forbids the reproduction of living creatures, but the shah had his taken in France, and is going to have the likeness stamped on some coins when he goes home. Meantime he has given away some copies to distinguished "infidel dogs" of Europe,, whose ' character can not be damaged by photographs. i ' The Bristol Post says that Mr. and Mrs. George Muller landed at Liverpool on Sunday, the 7th, on their return from the United States and were present at the usual Monday evening service at Bethesda chapel, when Mr. Muller taid that he had traveled more than 19,000 miles since he was last in Bristol, and had preached 209 times in more than 200 churehes, and bad written invitations to 108 places in America besides those to which he went. A church in Chicago was scandalized recently by the effort of a sewing machine man to make the congregation an advertising medium. Just before church time he had a number of fans placed in the pews. These fans were of the shut up kind, and it was not until the people began to fan themselves that the discovery was made that each fan was embelished with a conspicuous sdvertisment of the sewing machine man's business. Kokomo Dispatch : The date for the formal dedication of the new Catholic church at this place has finally been decided upon. It will occur on Sunday, September 8. All Father Mathew total abstinence societies and other Catholic organizations will be invited to attend in full regalia, and a general invitation will be extended to the church of the state. Excursion trains will probably be run from Indianapolis, Peru, Logansport, Richmond, Wabash, Frankfort and Crawfordsville. The Springfield Union knows of "an earnest and ablVChristian minister" now doing a good work'-in a town near Springfit Id, Massachusetts, on a salary of $300, $50 of which go for house rent, and "all gifts from members of the society are charged against the salary account" So cheap a minister as that is demoralizing. He shouldn't be t ermittcd a summer vacation, nor allowed to mix with the reverend gentlemen who are endeavoring pretty successfully to make their profession elegant and profitable. At Quitman. Georgia, a second adventist has been convicted of violating the statute which makes it a misdemeanor to labor on the first day of the week. He vainly tried to shelter himself under the clause of the constitution guaranteeing to all men the right to worship God according to the dictates of conscience, but the court ruled that the law under which be was indicted Lad nothing to do with his religious belief, but only declared that he should not labor on the Subbath except in cases of necessity or charity. An unwillingness on the part of the elder Disraeli to pay forty guineas, caused his son, the earl of Beaconsfield, to become an attendant at Christian churches. The former belonged to the Portuguese synagogue of Bevis Marks, in London. He was chosen president of the synagogue, but declined to serve. The penalty for the declination was forty guineas. This he declined to pay, and withdrew from membership rather than comply. Being a free thinker and a Jew by race rather than religion, he immediately attended an Episcopal church with his family. At his death a friend paid hia fine, and he was buried in the Jewish cemetery. In Hartford, Conn., there is a man who has learned that torments are only blessings in disguise. He is bald headed, and on a recent hot Sunday morning sitting in church he suddenly missed his spectacles. This annoyed him exceedingly, and a great part of the congregation observed and sympathized with his vexation. Presently several files that had been hovering near him, catching sight of the smooth, white scalp, darted toward it and in an instant two of them had f)ierced the skin. Up Hew the hand of the land of the bald headed man and there were his spectacles, resting just where he had left them. The agony of the fly bitea was disci pated in f.he recovery of his glasses, and he bore the subsequent persecution of the hateful Insects with a calm resignation worthy of the place and day.

Crazed by ibe lTe mt Anwnlr. Sacramento Bee. Xbout a ytar or so ago, a young lady of sunny temperament and pleasant features began to use to excess preparations for bleaching her hair to the fashionable golden tinge, and at tbe fame time became a slave to that beautifier of the complexion and the form the deceptive poison arsenic. Her features before, though not beautiful, were at least good; People soon remarked her changed appearance for the better. Her complexion was rosy and blooming; her hair eoft. silky, and of a beautiful tinge; her form plumper than it bad been, and her skin smooth and white. Bat her self-congratulation did not last long. Headache soon followed, growing more and more violent every day; but still she kept on using the abominable stnff which bas been the ruin of so many. Of late her sufferings have been almost intolerable. The blessings of sleep were not hers. Her head, was a very hell of torture night and day. Her mind grew feebler, her thoughts wandered, her intellect was lost, and to-day, a girl of twenty years, she is confined in a cell in that prison of the living dead Stockton a maniac. ' Gail Hamilton is not very far out ot the way when she says that the only reason why Mr. Dorman B. Eaton approves Messrs. Burke and Pitt is that they are dead; if ttey were alive to-day Jn American politics Mr. Eaton would ' be pawing and chawing at them exactly as he is at the men who are alive.

THE BETTER SEX.

A Case In Court. Oh, he was gallant and she was fair, So how they met, and when, and where, There's scarcely a need to mention. But the mode of his wooing was sweet and short. In fact of such ano -lglnal sort. As merits your mute attention. In a walk one day he happened to say, In quite a kind of a casual way, "I've been thinking about the matter, And sweet, my beautiful, blossoming bud, I feel you're a diamond lost In the mad." ttne blushed as she said, "You Matter." And that was tbe way that he won the maid, The wooing was light, but heavy It weighed On the mind of the guileless treasure. "If I'm a diamond that's lost In the mud, Then he" And again did the bright red blood Illumine her cheek with pleasure. Now surely the course of tho maid was plain ; "Xo diamond wis never yet cut in vain, But a golden setting enshrines it. Now, il I'm a diamond that's lost In the mud, I ought to be taken and set in some stud Where the man when he looks for it finds it" And simply enough did it come to pass That the gallant swain and the eager lass On Cupid's wings were carried; In J.wt so great was their true love's haste That neither could really afl'ord to waste Any time over getting married. But borne from the home which was otherwise "mad," The diamond was taken and pawned O Lud ! Where many ajewel lies bonded, And it sent forth its gleams all serene for a while. Till one morning the mud got on top of the Ana cried for its diamond absconded. And the law with the goddess (who goeth it blind) Got to proving a pair was not two of a kind (And other facts quite as undoubted), "While the swain who had won the bright gem from the mud All alone by himself took to chewing the cud Of repentance, and felt himself routed. It isn't for me to espouse either cause (And the very best diamond is known to have Haws), But this much I'll say and please mind it That a diamond, perhaps, that is lost in the mud, Lest it prove but a bauble that's not worth a spud, Had better be left where yon find it. New York World. Just Imagine the Rest. Puck. Upon the greensward, with my most adored I sat, and we whispered our love. While the sweet little birds repeated our words In the great dropping willow above. A modest surprise beamed out of her eyes As 1 pressed her dear form to my breastWhen dropped from the whlera b g catapillar Down her neck! Just imagine the rest ! The Governor of Iowa has appointed a woman to act as chaplain of the Anamosa penitentiary. Tbe modern style of doing up a woman's hair is so complicated that it is difficult to tell which is switch. Patti will not come to America on any terms. A thousand dollars a night has been ollered her and declined. There are three ex-queens of Spain attending the Paris exposition Isabella, Christina and the wife of Don Carlo?. - - - - - Philadelphia belles at Cape May say: "Bring me me hat; I'll walk for a couple of squares on the beach with me mother. A young lady recently from Europe (Cook's excursion) informed her friends she had brought a fine eet of lspeus linguas jewelry. There is now a story that Carlotta's insanity was produced by a poisonous herb administered to her by a Mexican woman in whom she bad placed great confidence. During Mme. Janauschek's twenty seven years of stage life she has received from em perors, kings, queens and the nobility of Europe $12o,000 worth of jewels. Di Murska swears that she has only been married twice, and that one of those times it didn t really count, as her husband was dying when the wedding took place. Oswego's old woman has reached the age of 102 without having made a bed quilt with 10,000 pieces in it. Can a woman who has so neglected her plain duty squeeze into heaven? What shall it profit a young woman of Troy, Vermont if she gain all the cloves she wants to eat and loses forty pounds weight, tbe use of her limbs, her health and almost her life? A Massachusetts widow, determined to marry again, got a new husband, put one of her children in the home for tbe friendless, bound out a second, and gave the other for "boot" In a trade. A Brooklyn girl who is cn heiress to $100,000 has just eloped with a red-headed, frecklefaced, long and lank young man who has been in jail several times, and now drives a 'bus at Ear Rockaway. , It was Miss Mary Sarah Anderson, a daughter of Mrs. Anderson, of Washington city, the widow of a surgeon in tbe regular army, whom E,nsign Fremont married, and not Miss Mary Anderson, the tctress. Among articles that are indispensable for summer use is the colored petticoat In a country promenade the dust and dew work such havoc with torchon-edged ruffles and the immaculate hems of plain white skirts, that a colored substitute becomes a necessity. A lady at Binghampton, -while looking over her husband's old clothes recently, discovered a letter which he had given him to post eleven years ago. The letter was addressed to a lady friend, atd its non-arrival was the cause of an estrangement between the two families ever since. It was just after Lady Macbeth spilled soup on the front breadth of her new moonlight blue summer silk that she remarked, amid a strong odor of benzine and ammonia, "Out dad binged spot" The quotation is a little free, but we can net use her exact language in a family paper. When Major Xepeau came home to England from Madras and wits about to smoke in Miv. Nepeau's boudoir, his wife objected. "Ma," said her little son, "you used to let Mr. Wool ley smoke here." The end of it was that the major got a divorce and Mr. Woolley, as correspondent, was mulcted in costs. Young mother deeply interested in a novel, but preserving some idea of her duties as a mother, to her eldest torn "Henrietta, where is your sister?" Henrietta "In the next room, ma." Young mother turning over page "Go and see what she's doing, and tell her to stop it this minute." In Litchfield, Conn., is .n old tombstone with the inscription, "Sacred to the memory of inestimable worth, of unrivalled excellence andlvirtue.Mrs.'Racbel, wife of Jerome B.

campaign of Egypt, fought in Canada in loi, is oiiii naie ana vigorous and declares that he will not die for twenty years to come. Madame Christine Nilsson, the London v eeK says, nas sailed tor America, apparently with the view of making engagements for the New York winter season on hfli.i!f of his wife, who, wherever else she may be uearu, win cerutmjy not sing at the academy of music as a member of Mr. Mapleson's company. We read in the Pictorial World, London: Although Mrs. Mannincr was hum? in hWtr satin, it is now more the rage than ever. Last week, roasting hot though it was, I saw a lady at a garden party in black satin. She was a belle Americaine, and wore yellow gloves, yellow feather in her hat, and ye'dow fan and holder An observer in London writts that the Grecian simplicity of hair drcssirg is tyrannically the vegue. At operas and at theaters, where bonnets end hats are prohibited, the hair of budding belle and boccding dowager are alike free from rolls, puffs, wads and frizzes. This makes a homely woman winning and a pretty one demurely rascally to look upon. Of Eugenie Mrs. Hooper writes in Lippincott as follows: "A head loaded with false yellow hair, a niincing gait and the airs and graces of an antiquated coquette such today is she who was once the world's wonder for her loveliness and grace, a bewigged Mrs. Skewton succeeding to the dazzling vision that swerved the calculating policy of Napoleon III and won his callous heart, and that still smiles upon us from the canvas of Winterholter." "Economy, Sarah," paid an east side manto his wife tbe other day, "is the great lesson which we have all got to learn during these hard times. We must retrench in the national administration, in the conduct of municipal affairs, and above all in household and persoral expenditures. After the next presidential election a general revival of business is expected, and then we will talk about that silk dress." Then he went down town and paid $20.30 for his last month's billiards and beer. Daring a marriage ceremony a western girl, when asked whether she would "have this man to be her wedded husband," distinctly answered "No." She had just detected the fumes of whisky in his breath. This incident teaches that well, it teaches several things. A young man should not drink whisky. It shatters the constitution,, reddens the nose, and beer is cheaper anyhow. It also teaches the value of cloves and cardamon seeds. A simple little clove put where it would do the most god might have made that young man happy three monthsand the girl wretched the remainder of her life. Here is a solemn warnmg to those young ladies who are wont to bring otherwise harmless young men to the verge of despair and bankruptcy by the too extensive patronage of ice cream establishments. Such conduct often produces a temporary coolness between otherwise warm friends, but in Oregon, 111., the effect was tragic. Miss Lizzie Shelley died suddenly there last week, and the coroner's jury gave it as their opinion that the cause thereof was a too great indulgence in ice. cream, and yet theoung lady only ate Cwo'dishes of the frigid compound. 'An observing writer in the New York Times has noticed that among young ladies at Long Branch and Saratoga have a fashion of frequently raising themselves on tiptoe. Several married ladies also assumed this unnatural position. It was remarked that these fair creatures generally had a certain old number of Harper's Magazine with them, in which is an article by William Blaikie, the oarsman, recommending his fellow boatmen to constantly practice rising on their toes if they wish to develop with rapidity and success the calves of their legs. It is thought that a mystery has been solved. The practice of a widow retaining her superior title on her second marriage occasionally leads to awkward mistakes. Not long ago a gentleman who had espoused a lady with a handle to her name was traveling in the north, and entered in tbe visitors' book at a hotel in Edinburgh: "Mr. and the countess of ." Presently the landlord asked to see the gentleman privately, and,, on his request being gratified, scandalized the unfortunate bridegroom by siying: ' Ye ken, sir, I am a mon of the world like yourself, and dinna you think you had better just put Mr. and Mrs. , if it's only forthe look of the thing!" New York Herald's Saratoga letter: Thnr is much to be said of the new devices in feminine raiment, some of which, as displayed here, are a little startliner. Theclinging princesse style of dress is employed with summer materials to prodece a new effec.. A garment of thin silk, of a delicatehue, is made, without sleeves, to fit with, nearly absolute nicety to tbe figure, and is scarcely released after following the contour of the hips. Over this closely clinging fabric a graceful diaphanous robe of white is worn. Of whatever color the under dresj maybe whether orange or straw or azure blue or Quaker grey the effect is charmingp but when, as I saw it worn near the Clarendon this morning by a lady neither very young nor very slender, it was a pale, richblue, corresponding so exactly with the hue of the wearer's arms, that it is not easy to tell the difference then the effect at a little distance is that of Miss Juno Jones or Miss Minerva Robinson in a lace window curtain. A Strong Speech. ICouiier-Journal. We publish this morning the opening speech of the Indiana campaign, delivered at South Bend on Saturday afternoon by tbe Hon. Daniel W. Voorhees. It is full of" material for popular reflection. Less ornate than many of the efforts of this orator, it is, perhaps, on that account worthier of study. Mr. Voorhees is very clear-cut in h Ls opinions, leaving nothing to surmise. He shows conclusively the wisdom of the Potter investigation, points out not only tbe fraudulent means by which the administration came into power, but the hypocritic character of the administration itself, is very luminous and strong in tracing the business trouble of the country to their true source, disposes with equal thoroughness the bugaboo about rebel claims and Mexicanization, and closes by a plain statement of tbe course pursued by the democratic party in congress toward the union soldiers in contradistinction to that pursued by the republicans. Tlie speech is interesting, convincing and able. Will Be Itarkstltehed. Indiana Correspondence Courier-Journal. It was a sad day for John Overmyer when he deserted the democratic party, but it was not so sad for the party. The evidence is all in, and the verdict of impartial, fair minded men will be that John Overmyer, the late speaker of the Indiana houseof representatives, was, at the commencement of the war, a rabid, .red hot disunion. 1st. of the Nancy school. This copperhcai and secessionist is now the radical candidate for representative of Jennings county. He ought to carry a bloody shirt stitched to hisback wherever he goes.
