It is said that although France has

the general reputation of being a very immoral country yet a marriage under she French laws cannot be annulled. Switzerland, on the contrary, is credited with all the virtues, and

yet in that country, as well as in Bel

gium, divorces are permitted by mu

tual consent, but it should be remem

bered in both cases that appearances

are often deceitful.

They have summary way of dis

posing of troublesome revolutionary

conspirators in San Domingo. On

July 29 three revolutionary Generals

and three other revolutionary officers

were discovered' u and arrested, and on the nest day publicly

shot, notwithstanding the efforts of

the diplomatic representatives of oth

er countries, and of the priesthood to

save tnem. rnree aays later eigne

others of the .same gang met a like fate. A POPUiiAR theory as to the cause of generosity, embodied in the expression "big hearted,' V is flatly con

tradicted by a current statement that in Khe oiBee of a well-known physi

cian in Pittsbunr is nreserved "the

smallest heart that ever beat in a hu

man breast, so far as the records show." The organ is less than one-

fourth the average size, and, strangely

enough, it belonged to one of the "big

gest hearted" men in the West. He

was whole-souled, generous, sympa pathetic, gentle and brave as a lion.

The gushers and gabblers who are

trying to make 'a tragedy queen of Mrs. Garfield, are doing her great in

justice. She is a brave, noble woman, who acts naturally and speaks discreet

ly, and is an ornament to her sex,

which, if the occasion was presented, could produce thousands and tens of thousands just like her, and it is little less than slanderous to pose 4wr. in dramatic heroics that, in these matter-of-fact days, would be criticised if presented on the stage.

" There's food for sober reflection on ,

the part of those who are accused in the following from the London Truth : "No man attacks the reputation of a youth as women attack that of a girl. The man who should come into his

club and whisper about damning

stories of his friend's young Hn, who should accuse him of dishonorable doings, such as would ruin the lad's

.character as thoroughly as the charge

of immodescy, flirtinc with married

men, and the like ruin that of a girl, would soon have the room to himself. But women over the tea table gather up the crumbs of scandal with relish and appreciation, and even the mothers of girls are not ashamed to believe and repeat stories against their dear friends' daughters which may have no foundation in fact and which even if true; they havemonieans, of proving

The recently appointed Cattle Commissioners on the part of the Treasury Department have Issued a circular to Governors of. States and Territories west of the AUeghanies, warning them of the danger there is in the purchasing of dairy calves from the east in districts afflicted with pleuro-pneumo-nia, and scattering them throughout

the west, which has heretofore been so free of the contagious diseases. The districts known to be infected with the scourge: embrace pretty much the whole of the coun try bordering on the coast from New York city southward

to Washington City, an d extending to a greater or less distance inland. The danger that the great cattle fields of the west may be infected by this growing importation of dairy calves from the east is a perilous one, and it is recommended that the traffic should be discouraged and prohibited,

moisture which rises from the earth

below, caused by the evaporation from

the surface, brings with; it, involution,

Here is where people balhe in style,

and her) is where you see bathing dresses that attraet attention. There

is no such bathing ground in United States. Boston has its beaches and

irood ones Nantucket beach especially

but the water is too cold. People

bathe at Newport, but it is too cold

there, also, and the froirs are the bane

of the place. Atlantic City boasts of a

loner stretch of sand, but it is full of

holes, and drowning accidents are

nuniftrons- A man bv the name of

Conkling has donnod his bathing suit

and deigned to mix with the crowd at

Long Branch. But theie is-an uuuertow which is dangerous. Capo May

has the ideal beach on the coast. Safe?

Yes, safe as a barn floor, and as smooth.

Coney Island, covered with ded eats and debris of all sorts, hits no surf to compare with the Cape. Is rolls in from tho broad Atlantic with nothing to ninder, and breaks in sparkling foam

upon the hard sand with :he roar or a

platoon of artillery or a clap of thuuder mstoverhead. Nobody tfc inks of miss

ing tho bathing hour. Not much. He or she may prefer to remain on dry

land, but everybody is on, the beach at

midday, taking it all in. And there ia

lots to take in , too. A physiologis t can study anatomy from the board

walk which skirts the beach without

moving ten feet. His subjects will

come to him, arid he cn study the

curves of nature to his heart's content People talk, of tne degeneracy of the stage, and the ballet. laugh ! That s nothing. Bight here on Cape May's beach, sanctified by the customs of society, is the greatest 1-Meg show on earth. There is nothing like it, and it is all free. Suppose a Chicago girl should give a garden parly and invite a hundred or two of her apuaintances, male and female. Buppose each girl should get herself up regardless, her only object being to display her form to the best ad vantage. fcJu ppose a single garment should be her only clothing a garment fitting closely to the neck, bolted at the waist, and buckled at the knee-pans. Then suppose her to saunter out under the trees with her round, dimpled arms bare above, the elbows ; with her long golden hair falliug loosely down her back, and with beautifullyworked stockings fitting closely to her legs, her only foot covering. Iu this costume let her leauon her lover's arm and parade around for an hour, talking romance aud nonsense. 3 What would Chicago think of it all? And what would society think of the girl who gave the garden party, and of the girls who attended it? And y et this is the kind of show you can see on tho beach any day. at noon. The girls parade about with scant costumes and the scantier lite costume the more society looks on and applauds. It wouldn't be sanctioned for a moment up in the city upon the Dele ware, but here well, it is the thing to dp, and that settles it. Iet mo take you down for an hour or so on the beach. It is 11 o'clock, and already the people are coming down from the hotels and cottages. Most of the cottagers know how to bathe, and enjoy it. Borne of the girls dress themselves for the turf at home and carelessly trip down to the water and plunge in, A residence of a few weeks gives them confidence, and many of them can ftoat on, their backs and even swim a few strokes. But the flitting guests who stop at the Stockton, and Con press Hall, aud Co lumbia, and the .Windsor, and the lashionable hotels, always go to the bath-houses. The bath-houses stretch along the drive, facing the water, for half a mile. By 11:30 most of the girls are ready to undergo the public gaze. By noon all the bathers are on the rbeach, It is a lively spot. Here comes a perfect beauty tripping down from the bath-house. I saw her only an hour ago on the S $ckton piazza, and some one pointed her out as the pret tiestgiiiat the hotel. She is from Baltimore. She Is gotten -Up to kill. Her loose hair is flowing down her back, only caught together slightly with a blue ritbon. A dainty little straw hat covers her head. Her costume is of dark blue flannel, edged with white. . Like mo3t of the bathing suits it falls to her knees only, leaving her limbs entirely free from a?l encumberanee. The most marked feature of her costume is her beautiful stockings,

which must have cost several dollars. lhey are o:f a very fine idlk, evidently imported, with the most beautiful and dainty tracings upon them. A young

Thursday and brouelii, among, other

things, the Pittsburg papers. When I

opened my copy of the Post ana saw what Maud S, had accomplished at the new driving park I turned to a gentleman who sat beside me and iaid:

"Maud S. lias beaten her record and

has trotted in '10." 14 You don't mean

it?" said he. Let me look at the pa

per.' Tne gentleman . wno sam ..mis

was Mr. W. S. Mulbert, or umcinnau.

He is one of the noted men of that

place, is worth a million or two, and is largely interested, in' the Cincinnati

Gazette. Mr. Huibert laid tne paper

down and said:

"I owned Maud S. for a week once.

Captain J. Bueher, an old river man

who came from up jhe Mongaheia

liliver, was a friend jof mine. He was

a great horseman, and one day he went

over to a sale of blooded colts at Alex

ander's farm, at Woodbum, . Ky.

Bueher bought eleven colte and then

it began to rain in torrents. We stood under an umbrella as the last colt on

the catalogue was broueht out. She

was a PKETTY, BRIGHT-LOOKING THING,

and I told Bugher he had better buy

her. He said he had bought enough,

and I concluded that I would take her

myself, aud so I gave $145 for her.

out her m with Bugher's coltsr anu

thev were all sent to his farm. About

a week after this I went to the farm

and asked where ray colt was. Bugher showed me a little, nervous-looking sorrel colt, which had a piece of string tied around its neck. He said that

was my colt, and that the string had

been put on it in order to oistinguisn it. It did not look to me as if it was the colt I had bought, and I said so, butBugher was positive,and we let it go until the next time we went out to the farm. I remembered then that my colt was a bay, and not a sorrel, and I told Bugher so,and he confessed that he had been mistaken; so I took tne bay and Bugher took the sorrel, and that's where I made a mistake. The sorrel was Maud S.t and; the bay was her sister. Maud has trotted in 2:08, and the sister can't trot in three minutes. Bugber put the eolt into Bair's hands to train when she was 3 years old, and

in a short time she did magnificent

work.Old man Bugher died, and his son

gave orders to BaiT to sell the mare for

$350. Bair came to me a dozen times and wanted me to buy her. He said she was the fastest thing in the way of horseflesh there" was hi the country, but I did no t care about making the purchase. After a while "". ....... STOJfE BOIfGHT THE MARE for $350 and allowed- Bair to, manage her. She showed so much speed that Vanderbilt heard of her and wanted to

for a great deal. If an olleuse come out of truth, better it is that the oiFenso come than the truth be concealed. The truly strong and sound mind is the miud that can embrace equally great thiugs and smaJSl. Truth is brought to l ight by time and reflection,1 while falsehood gathers strength from precipitation amLbustle. I am in that place in which it is demanded of me to speak the truth, and the truth I will sneak, impugn whom its lists. . Before all things we must, not allow ourselves; to be pursuaded fhat, for the discovery of truth, blinders are more useful than spectacles, We must not always spepJc all that we knov?; that were folly; but what a man says should be what be thinks, otherwise it is knavery, To succeed in the world it is much, more necessary to possess the penetration to discover who is a fool than to

discover who is a clever man. A more glorious victory can, not, be gained over another mau than this, that, when the injury began on his part, the kindness sliould begin on ours. Investigation frequently leads to doubt, where there was none before. So much the better. If the thing is not true, inquiry can do no possiblharm.

Truth at the bottom of her well is of about as much use as water there, is of

very little use without some appliances to bring it to the lips of the thirsty.

Wisdom and truth, the offspring of

the sky, are immortal; but cunning and deception, the meteors of the earth, a ter glittering for a moment, must fass ayray.

A Wedding in JLapland. Sunset Cox. v. A wedding is announced at the church, whose bells are pealing. We invite ourselves. A score of us enter tie building. It is, like most -Lutheran churches, plain; but there is an altar, with seven candlesticks" and candles; a large cross perfectly white; a pulpit midway, and commodious pews and seats. The hour is two in i;he afternoon, not in the morning, though as to lighting the the church , iis aall one.,, Some dozen or so of natives, ali females, with handkerchiefs upon their heads, are present, Our party is seated at the front. I remain at the door. My wedding garment is not up to the highest Btyle, b it as the procession enters the front door I fall in behind with . the small boy of the family. The bride is a tall girl, with inflamitoiy hair and cool demeanor. The groom is a thick-set. stout man, whose hair is eTeet, mm whose imperturbability is quite equal to that or the woman whom he holds, we hope gently, by the hand. She is drossea plainly in black. A long white vail depends from her black hair, held by a circlet ef ivy, a plant in great reauest and reputation here in Norway.

The friends of the bride and bridegroom including parents, pass up to the platform with them aud take seats on either side: A priest comes out from a side door aud stands before the altar silently, with his back to us, while the precentor from a side platform raises a sweet song, with whoso music there is not so much accord by the audience. Then the bride aud bridegroom kneel, a prayer is said, and the two are one,

and all are happy. The bride is array

ed at the door, and; tho scene is concluded, ;:-

for Bair, provided' the mare trotted in 2:18. She was put on the Lexington track and made the mile in 2:17, which was just1 Bexter's time, Vanderbilt bought her' and put her in charge of a Juan who could not do anything with her. He treated her roughly, and she would not trot, Vanderbilt wrote to Stone and said: "I bought that mare for $21,000, and' she can't trot in 2 :3o. I don't want to be called an ass. What shall I do about it?" Stone replied that if the mare was sent to him to train he would make her thejfastest trotter iu the world. and he did. Only a few weeks ago a man named Wopdmansee, who represented some'St. Louis uieiv went to Vanderbilt aud offered him a certified cheek for Maud, but Vanderbilt only laughed and said she was not for saleana that is the nervous little sorrel colt that he would not keep" and Mr.

Huibert softly nibbed his chin and"

looked at me with a queer smile that spoke volumes. ltYou said'she trotted in 2:08," said I; "do you not mean 2:10."' "No, sir," said Mr. Huibert, promptly. "It is well known that the mare can trot in 2:0S, and what is more, she has trotted a. mile . on a regular track on two difTer8nt occasions.,k Of course, it was in private, and not on record, but she was timed by competent men with stop watches."
