THE MYSTERIES AND MISERIES OF PHOTOGRAPHY.

The Vanities of Women—Nine Hundred and Sixty-Nine Freckles in One FacePhotographing Dead People—Cooked

Pictures— The Faces of Society Belles on Nude Bodies.

Indianapolis Herald.

"Yes," said the artist, "the ladies, God bless 'em, Rive us more trouble than the men. They bring their friends and sweethearts to see the picture, and ask their opinion of its merits. The friends feel in duty bound to flatter the subject, and although the pioturo may be perfect, the general reply is, "Ob, it doesn't do you ustice!" If the sitter has any defect of which she is sensitive—a long or crooked nose or a dish face, the friend alludes to it as being exaggerated in the picture. You would ba surprised to learn the number of faces which are out of proportion. Indeed, it ia rare to find a perfect iace. The nose or under jaw is often crooked, and sometimes one side of the face is fuller tban the other. The defect may be so slight as to escape ordinary observation, but you may bet your life the woman knows it, and expects the camera to correct it. Many women seem to care more for the dress than anything else. Some of them have a dress made on purpose to have their photographs-talMa-ia?-*ad are dissatisfied because the dress don't "take" as thejL thought it would/ Now here fs the photograph of a fat woman who insisted on being taken full length, to show off her handsome dress. You will see she has crossed her hands over her abdomen to show the six diamond rings with which her chubby fingers are hooped to keep them from bursting. Talk about the patience of a general delivery clerk at the postoffioe! It isnt a marker alongside of what. a photographer must exercise. Many women say they want the pfcture'to look just like them, but if you were to make tbem such a picture they wouldn't have it. The photographer must take out all the wrinkles aud freckles, fill out the hollow places, and touch up in many ways. Warts and moles must be extirpated. Here is a picture in which there were, by actual count, nine hundred and sixty-nine freckles to retouch. Frefckles show a black spot, and you see the effect is horrible. Here is the same picture retouched, and you see it is quite a handsome face. But consider that each of those freckle spots had to be touched with the pencil. Young men? Oh, yes, they have ftielr little vanities, too. With the young man it is generally an anxiety to have the mustache show up dark and heavy. Yes, I have bad some experience in photographing dead peopl®. It is the most thankless job in the world You are sent for to photograph a dead child. Money iB object. Parents would pay $50 ratbertftao'aot haveit. You take the machine to the bouse and do the job. You don't want to intrude on the grief of the family, and don't send in yonr bill until the innocent has been asleep for six months in Crown Hill. Then there is a howl. Ton dollars is considered infamous, and even five is grumbled at. Once I was sent for to photograph an old gentleman who had been a little peculiarvin life. He was superstitious about having His picture taken—thought be would die as soon as it was done—and so always refused. Well, he finally died, anyhow, and. his wife—bless ber soul, she's been married twioe since tken—sent for toe to "tike" him. A barber had washed and shaved the dear departed, and dressed in black, with white necktie arid enameled collar, with a moss rosebud pinned to bis left lappel, he was what the old ladies doted on, a "sweet looking corpse." We set him up, and I pulled op9n his eyelids, pinched his cheeks, and fixed his mouth to a port of frozen smile. When everything was ready, without thinking, I said, "Now fix yotir eyes" oft this,M and the d—d barber broke out into a laugb, and I got to laughing, and jast tben some of the mourners came in. and we came near belngeverlastingly disgraced. The picture? Well, it waS just about the most gbastly work of art ever taw, and I wpuld as lief bave kept a brooding nightmare on my center table. lint they made me print dozens and dozens of 'em, and sent 'em to all the relatives, from Maine to California. "Cooked pictures? No, I don't believe there is any of that business done here just now, Some years ago there was a scalawag here who did that sort of business, and made money out of it. He had the negative of a woman of the town, taken entirely nude, and he would put the head of some toney society woman on the nude body, and sell the picture to the" boys. But be got into trouble and had to emigrate. A fallow who would do that ought to be shot. "I believe there is no spirit business done here now. It is a simple trick, and easily done, even by bungler*. It doesn't require much jugglery to deceive a spiritualist. He comes ready to be lieve, and prejudiced against anything calculated to sbake his faith. "A photographer who knows bis business must not be too curious, and must understand that silence is golden. It will not do to presume that pater familias most necessarily be cognisint of madame's patronage of the art, or •toe vena. I had an order the ether day from a middle aged gentleman to make an extra nice picture of himself. There was apparently nothing in his manner to justify the suspicion, but I dropped on his game at once. That picture was never intended for Mad ante. Should I send around Ob, no! He would come in when it was finished. 'Maybe he wouldn't like it and would try another sitting. Well, he did come around. Says I, 'I'm afraid I did wrong. Your wife was in here, and without thinking, I showed the picture to her. Maybe you intended it for a surprise and I spoiled It." Ob, no it made no difference. But I could seo be was bored. Jost as he was going away he says, 'By the way you bad better make me another one of theee. It's the best picture I ever bad.' Of course It was a lie about showing the picture to his wife. I trust I bare too much sense for that. But my little joke caused him to buy two pictures Instead

CORSETS

and Pa

FdHtgy% Progress.

In 1801 and 1862, while many "Americans were engaged In a discussion down on the Potomatv tbelre were serious questions agitating England Tb«y wore fought in the newspapers, and have not, it is feared, been satisfactorily settled to this day. Let them be classed in the order of tb^ir importance as shown by the number and length of the printed avtiolea. 1. Should young ladies over thirteen years of age be whipped at home and in school. 2. Should gentlemen wear corsets. S. Should ladies on horseback wear spun. It is to be presumed that the young lady whipping, the male corset and the female spur-wearing go on as they did before,* for while nothing is said about them now It is only fair to conclude that the agitation neither in creased nor decreed .their practice Like the Sunday problem and trfeftper* vant annoyarice, these are matters which one could talk about till doomsday withoutresulta. In this country a few tpen wear corsets and they seem to like them. Gottscbalk, the pianist, and equally celebrated as a beau, always bad on a corset. The male corset wearers are those who take their coats to the up town tailor, whose advertisement may bdTound almost any morning in tM Ledger. This ingenious fellow has an arrangement which be pots into co»ta by wbicfc one's shoulders are made to look as broad as a prize fighter's. With one of his inventions, and a perfectly constructed corset, the figure of man'Vecomes irresistible. It is a secret, that the ladies know as well as ourselves, that the shoulders of all ourcoatsare more or less padded, that frequently our vests are ditto, so. that with the exoeption of the hair on our h§ads, which is usually our own, tl^ere Ts about the full dressed almost as much sham as surrounds the ffill dressed womani But our male corset-wearers will not talk. They hide their corsets, figuratively as'well |ts actually, and would deny*ibe whole thing if they were asked about it. A daily newspaper reporter is the authority for saying that the tailor who makes heavy shoulders out of slim ones keeps quiet on the subject. Many attempts hive been oaade,*but all in vain, to interview him. One must turn to England to dlsoover how a man feels when tightly Jaced. Hefe is a gentleman who wears ladies' shoes ^because he thinks therfi more comfortable, and goes for ftis corsets to a Store where .thenars, lady attendants, as'"l find them much mqre qbliging than male assistants usually'are." He is a conoisseur in corsets for gentlemen. Listen to him "I strongly advise to have the corset made to open up the back only as I find it is much more comfortable to wear and lighter than when made to open in front in,the now common mode. I can truly affirm, from my own experience, that nfoderately tight lafting (say three

to four inches less waist measure than the usturaal sie) is not ooly not preju dicial, but, on the contrary, is very beneficial to the health. My occupation is mostly of a sedentary nature, and I used to suffer much from pains in my side and back and from indigestion but about a year and a half ago my sister persuaded me to "try "and frear a corset, and she altered ohe of her own to suit me. I found- it rather irksome for the first few days, but that feeling soon passed, and on my next visit to London I had a corset properly made to my own measurement. Since then I had another one tnad^, smaller in the waist and wider at the chest, which I am now wearing. The pains have quite left me and my health is generally much better than it used to be. Besides tnia, the feeling of being tolerably well lac§d Is very comfortable.* From my own observation and inquiries I find that the practice of corset-wearing by young gentlemen is becoming much more usual, but we don't make any display of the fact."

In France and Germany very many n)ore gentlemen affect corsets than in England. Here at home itis impossible the custom will ever become What our English friend calls "usual." We haven't the time for the intricacies of the corset. Even the suspender is getting beyond the control of,the, American man, and a fellow sufferer wrote not Jong ago to a newspaper in New York, asking it to requestof suspender makers to have pity on poor pnale humanity and cease adding novel machinery to this necessary part of our attire No a people who are Irigbttitted tA so simple a,thing as a pair of suspenders will never undertake th$. management of corsets, hedged about, as they are rumored to be, with whalebones innumerable, strings by the yard and boles by the dozens. It has not been tbs purpose in this paper to do more than mention—as has been done—frbout the whipping and the spurs.- These are tbenjesat which the pen that did not falter at corsets for gentlemen wisely stops.

MARRIAGE BY TELEGRAPH XenlaDispatch Cincinnati inquirer. A novel marriage ceremony was performed in the telegraph office here this morning. Mf. John A. Smith, after winning the heart of Miss ~Vashti B. Longfellow, of Jamestown, this county, went west to seek a home, intending to return soon and claim her as hi* bride hut as the time approached for his return be could not leave hisbusiness to make the trip, and asked bar to come to bipi. To his arrangement her parents would not consent. Then came the proposition that tbe ceremony be per formed by telegraph, which was consented to by the parents after being fully satisfied of tbe legality of the contract, and arrangements were made for the parties to be in the telegraph office this morning at eleven o'clock—Mr. Smith at Wichita, Kansas, and Miss Longfellow at Xenia. In accordance with that arrangement tbe bride, accompanied by ber father, Rev. N. M. Longfellow, who performed tbe ceremony, and a few friends of the bride andironm appeared at tbe telfegrajSh office, and Mr. Wright, the 6perator, called *t tbe Wichita office and found tbe groom ready and waiting. The usual questions were put, and tbe responses came promptly, and in five minstes after entering tbe office they were declared hus bend and wire. A short and impressive prayer by the officialsug minister concluded the ceremony. Mrs. Smitb leaves for tbe west in a few days to Join her husband. i, Nil-aid 4M

Ladies complimented tbe hostess, and gentlemen admired the beautiful pattern painted'in water dolors on the breadths of her paper train. The inventor was in high feather, indeed, till a clumsy waiter, in banding round a tray of tumblers full of lemonade,-managed to upset the whole affair into the lap of the hostess.

Ob, what an upset, not to say collapse, was that! It was a hot night, and the combined action of the iiuid and tbe temperature was such that the whole of tbe gummed seams of tbe saturated garments gave way, while the material itself was rapidlv transformed into pulp. A gentleman, frith much presence of mind, threw ft tablecloth over the unfortunate lady, and she was, under its grateful shelter, borpe from'the room.

Now, in tbe face of this disastrous experiment, we can hardly suppose that these patent paper garments have been introduced into this country. And, even had they been so introduced, they could not be fairly, desofibed Jty the term used in the advertisement we ia've qucfted. *«A' Scrap t'aper" does not' suggest a very complete outfit, even for an actor, but whenlt sa|d to shelter an actor and actress, it would certainly seem to be-a (trueliy insufficient costume, especially for the winter ninths, apd, on such a draughty place as a stage. Even in a mystery play, with the story of Adam and Eve as it$ subject, it wpuld be absurd to adppt such a dress, or rather lack of it, for the actors i'h the title roles but in a modern comedy the use of such a garb is inexplicable. .Another objection to it is that, so long as it goes on, Mr. Hare must qualify his protld boast that, at the Court Theatre, there is not a "scrap of p^er" in the

MEANINGLESS EXPRESSIONS. Louisville Argus. 1 When you have been writing to a stranger on a formal matter of business, have yoa,ever thought hpiy bypopritfcpl, false and absurd you were when you saw above votir signature, "very respectfully, youuob't servant?" Possibly you had occasion to write a sharp, sarcastic, unfrieudly letter, but'yoii added the same unmeaning, idiotic falsehood. You said you were "respectfully" hie, when you expressed contempt for him You were his "obedient servant," wheu you would not stoop to comply with a request, much less an order. Tbe custom doubtless has come down from those good old days when latter writing was such a very formal affair that if was thought necessary to surrouhd it with ceremonious verbiage. It is strange that custom has not stepped into this country and declared that henceforth "Esq.," appearing as part of the superscription of a letter should be followed by imprisonment, and the use of the lying and abject "your obedient servant," at»tbe foot of a letter, should be promptly followed by death, ^4

OLD LOVE LETTERS^1 Baltimore Every Saturday.

Only a bundle of old yelfowed paper tied together by a faded ribbon, these are all that may be left to remind the gray-bairedcueature that tearfully bends over them of one on whom the grassy sod may have mouldered for years, or whose affections, trifled with by her, have found a peaceful dwelling place in a more constant heart. This tear stained packet is all that connects h'er present with the past, and as she pours over its contents, the frosty clasp of years is relaxed before tbe burning words of love, only to btf clenched tighter as stern )ealities now draw the curtain of regret before all tbe alluring promises of tbe long ago. From these faded lines, the chord of memory ruus back to the time when they grew fresh and glossy beneath the writer's hand, mute messengers. from the burning heart that breathed its love upon the page. But why touch the chord when every note awakens a longing tbat can never be gratified, for who can rccall an echo from tbe past? Fold them up carefully, they are the tomb of your own dead hopes, mouldering slowly into notbinguess. Peace, peace to their asbes!

"*«No man wblle unhappy can show forth a true, notable manhood. Every thing short of cheer, is medicinal, and medicine was not made for daily use.

It is not always raining, and life is not always storm. Tbe whole of famine, pestilence, and war taken into account, the result Is a tendency to happiness.

A man's amusements should be tbe opposite pf his daily occupation. When the lawyer has drained himself dry of nervous force it would not be creation for his brwint to eagage in chess nor would it be sensible advise to tell a letter carrier, after his day's work, to take Sl five mile walk for his health.

It Is no longer thought necessary that a- clergyman shall" dress like a clergyman, carry bis bead like a clergyman, and measure his steps like a clergyman. A clergyman has come to be considered as a tbSchef of liberal ideas, and he is worth just as much as his manhood is worth, and no more. This is glorious relief to clergymen.

CO&JPEE AS AN fN VIGORA TOR. A correspondent 6f the London Lancet, who owns a water-power mill, says'r "I am frequently compelled, during this season of the year, to have men working in water even in frosty weatherr. I firitt" the following allowance gives great satisfaction to tbe men, and we never k*ve-a-~ease of cold or injury to tbem in any way: Kettle ofrcoffee, rua^e \fitb h^lj svyeat milk, baj( water, three orYotir eggs whipped, poured Into it when off the boil hot toasted brea® with plenty of butter of finest quality. Serve up thus every two And a half hours. The expepse is much less than the usual' allowance of whisky and 'the t»en wbrk far better, and if care is taken to bave the coffee, milk (cream is still better),,bread »nd butter of the very finest quality the men are delighted wltB it. I am persuaded it would be wo'rth while to try this allowance instead of grog. Furnishing extra grog gives the suen a notion tbat it is good for tbem and perpetuates the belief in stimulantsariiotig workmen.'*" ii ni.M "hi if Reward 3
