A group of expensively-dressed fashionable ladies’ costumer in Fifth | avenue the other day, and their flash- | ing eyes indicated that something had gone wrong. The eyes were directed toward a woman who stood a little apart from them and was receiving the concentrated attention of an ob- sequious artist in ladies’ attire. There was nothing in the lady’s attire, which was severely simple in style and fitted her form like a glove, or in her face, which was no prettier than New York ladies’ faces usualiy are, to indicate occasion for anger.

There is a history attached to the word ‘‘silhouette.” About the middle of the last century a man named Sil- houette became Minister of State in France. The treasury was in a very low condition, and Silhouette was anx- he practiced economy, and tried to in- duce the King and court to be econom- XV., had no intention of reformation of any sort, and the extravagance and | cruelty of this time paved the way for the horrors of the Freneh revolution which came in the next reign. Silhouette became very unpopular, and the courtiers Jaughed at him and his plans. They pretended to be eco- nomical. Snuff-taking was fashion- able then, and some of the elegant snuff-boxes of that time are now in existence, preserved in museums or other collections of curiosities; beauti- ful boxes of gold or enamel set with precious stones and ornamented with paintings, pretty landscapes or por- traits. In order te burlesque Silhou- ette and his economy some of the would-be witty ladies and gentlemen carried plain wooden boxes. To the same end, the gentlemen wore coats very short, sometimes made without sleeves; and instead of exquisite por- traits set in gilt frames, or miniatures hung from gold chains and set in dia- monds, they gravely presented to their friends funny little outline portraits, black profiles drawn in solid black or cut with scissors from black cloth or paper. Ail these absurd fashions they called the “Silhouette style”— every thing was a la Silhouette while the fun lasted. This was not very long. Poor Silhouette! his plan made him se unpopular that he was glad to resign his office and go into retire- ment. The other ridiculous fashions | passed away before a great while, but | the style and the name of the portrait remain. —W ide-Awake. in the Early Dawn. | | Proprietor of museum—I am glad to | ;see that you are looking out for my | linterests so well.

St. Joaquin was the husband of St. Ann, who was the mother of the Virgin Mary and is the patron saint of the sail- ors. The shrine of St Ann de Bonpere, | below Que Canada, holds a lifesize } statue of oaquin. Second, Joaquin Marietta wasa boy of good family in the San JoaquinCountry,of California in 1852. But some “roughs” despoiled his home, hung his brother and misled his wife and drove him to desperation. The Mexicans were sadly treated by the Americans in the early Californian days, and Joaquin Marietta vowed revenge. He killed at least twenty of the roughs with his own hand, and finally had a band of Mexican outlaws so brutal about him that both State and Federal troops were called out. A reward of $5,000 was offered, and the brave boy was final- ly kille d his head cut off andex- hibited San Francisco. But many held that he had never been killed— that some other fellow’s head was sub- stituted to get the reward. Well, in tss4, I, then a long-haired lad, took up abode with the wild and splendid savages of Mount Shasta, af- terward famous as the Modoes, and as no one seemed to see any purpose but that of plunder on the part of one cast- ing his lot with these denizens of the mountains, why, of course, I was called arobber. And finally it began to be said that I was the original ‘Joaquin,’ and must be killed or captured. I fin- ally had to leave my leafy home, and next turned up in Washington Terri- tory asa schvuol teacher. Here I wrote in verse a sketch of Joaquin Marietta. In 1866, when a lawyer and county judge of Grant County, Ore., I published this poem in Portland, Ore., along with some other verses, and called the little book** ir * Atthe same time it was still vaguely hinted that I was the original Joaquin Marietta.

An invitation had been received from a party on the upper pond to visit their camp, and we thought this a good op- H portunity to try the fishing there, so one morning found us paddling in that direction. As we passed our old fishing- vround we concluded to stop for half an hour and try our luck. Each of us had a rod and a hand line, and all the hooks | were covered with worm bait. Before ‘long I felt a bite—nota rush and a grab as a half-pounder is likely to make, but adeliberate trial of the bait. I waited for the next bite, which was sure to come. | It came, and then I felt him indeed. He would not budge an inch, and, as I was using avery light leader. to drag him up to the surface by the usual hand line method was impossible. I pulled as much asI dared, however, and at last he stopped shaking his head and start- ed, as it seemed to me, at about sixty miles an hour, and away from the boat. The line was wound on a stick, and I remember now how that stick danced around in the boat as the line ran through my fingers. I snubbed him all I dared, and at last turned him. Now | he came directly for the boat, and it seemed as though I couldn’t get the line in fast enough. Then under the boat like a shot, and again I had to pay out line. After awhile he began to tire. I asked for the landing net, and from the blank looks of the boys I knew it had been left at home. Resolved not to lose the fish, I played him very carefully, till at length he turned on his side from sheer exhaustion, and then, inserting my fingers in his gills, I lifted him quickly into the boat. He weighed three pounds and a half, the largest trout it has ever been my fortune to catch yet.— Outing. CARE OF PIANOS. Dryness is Sure to Put the Sounding Boards Out of Order. “Very few know how to take care of a piano,” said a musical man to a reporter who had visited his ware-rooms. “How do you doit here?” asked the scribe. “It isa popular notion that pianos ought to be kept very dry. Nothing could be more fallacious. Pianos are not nearly so much affected by heat or cold as they are by dryness, and, re- versely by dampness. itis not gener- ally known that the sounding board, the life of the piano, is forced into the case when it is made so tightly thatit bulges upin the center, on the same principle asaviolin. The wood is supposed to be as dry as possible, but, of course, it con- tains some moisture, and gathers more 'on damp days and in handling. Now, when a piano is put into an overheated, dry room all this moist- | ure is dried out, and the board loses its shape and gets flabby and cracks. Even if it doesn’t crack, the tone loses its resonance and grows thin and tinny, the felt cloth and leather used in the action dry up, and the whecle machine rattles. *How will you prevent this?” Keep a growing plant in your room, and so long as your plant thrives y | piano how much more wate all the 2 Mail and Express. headquarters consists of ALBUMS, TOYS, JUVNILE BOOKS, DOLLS, STANDARD POEMS, Christmas Cards,Gold pens, Cups and Saucers, China Sets, Fine Wooden Toys, Plush and Leather Toilet Sets, SCRAP ALBUMS, Velocipedes, Bicycles, Rocking Horses, CHILDRENS WAGONS, ~ HEADQUARTERS FOR FLOLIDAY GOODS.
