M THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: THURSDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1872 3 CLINTON, I0WA. Case at Law---The City Treasurership \ k- g «--Municipal Consolidation, ! “Manufacturcs---A Fair-The St. i . Paul Railroad. Correspondence of The Chicagy Tribune. Crovroy, fowa, Dec, 23, 18% A CASE AT LAW. - At the last term of the District Court Ibld in this city, the injunction case of The -ity of Clinton ve. the Clinton & Lyons HorseRailway, came mp. A little moro than thred oers 830, this city granted to the Horee-Railwa' Company & charter to lay a track on Second sreet, to be operated, etc., by the Railway Copp2oy. Tho charter contnined a provision tit the track shonld be extended to Thirteenth3venue. Now, the main track, and 2 number ofewitches of the Northwestern Raitroad, cross socond street 2t Ninth avenue. The Street Trilvay track was Inid to the raflroed track snd the Com- pany has stezdfestly ropsed to extend it farther. This Leing so, 0o city applied for an injunction to restrain e Railway Company from operating the lino. Lhe case coming up at the last torm of Court, 3! was continued; but Judge Brannpan gave it &' his_opinion that the injunction could not be weiained ; that, as the city had given the Commny certain rights, those zights could not ba rewked until the time ex- pired for which the clirter was given, even if all the provisions wee not carried out to the lotter. THE Crry TREASURERSHIP. At the city electis, last spring, C. E. Bentley ran on the regulariepublican ticket, and John J. Flournoy ran sainst him on 5 Democratic ticket, for the cico of City Treasurer. Each received an equs Dumber of votes, one of them ‘being for J. Beley. When the votes were offi- cially canvassa, it was determinad fo give Mr. ‘Bentley s cerficate of clection. The matter 'was conteste¢ and Mr. Flournoy declared elect-~ ed by the Digrict Court, when he at once re- signed the offics, requesting the Com- mon Counil to sppoint his late oppo- ment to #0 vacancy. This would have been doneit has been ascertained, but for a per- sonal spib one Councilman held against a man ‘whom Jr. Bentley had refused to sue for the city at (e command of this one Alderman. An- other npan was appointed, and our citizens are greatlyincensed thereat. 7 CONSOLIDATION. ‘The: word has become & familiar one bers. It s welknown that Clinton and Lyons are contig- mons their husiness centres being less than two miles apart. One can Lardly tell where one corporation ends or the other commences, the ‘honses of each aro 80 closo together. For many years, Tyons and rhis city were st war on almost every subject. By a lnck of enterprise in Lyons, and an sbandance of it here, Clinton has grown #-om = village 0f 1,000 inhabitants, cight years g0, to one of 3,000 now, while our neighboring city has scarcely donbled its population in that time. This result has brought abouts more reasonable feeling, and the consolidation of the towns is frecly talked of, though there are many bitter opposers of the plan. Oonsolidated, these two cities would makeons of 14,000 inhebitants, the third or fourth in Jown, which, in snothor Gecade, would bo beitling for supremacy over all others, The location of the place could not be better. Itis in the great eastern bend of the Mississippi, direcily west of Chicago, with which city it i connected both by the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy and the Chicago & Northwestern Rail- Tonds,—with three completed lines, and two others in conrse of construction, reaching their iron bands northwest, west, 2nd sonthwest. If consolidation fails, it will do so for want of Eopnlnrityin Lyons. In this case, Clinton will ave to gain alone what is expected if a union is effocted. CLINTON IS A MANUFACTURING TOWY, pnd etands without a rival in Towa in that Fespect. A wheelbarrow factory is just being completed, and will commence oparations st once on & large scale. ® One-half of Mr. E. Seymonr's chair factory bzs beon sold for $19,000, including no realty. The extensive building is now to be purchased by the new firm. Mr. Seymour hes fled one order from Chicago, since ke commenced the xanutacture hers, cignt months ago, of $25,000. It has been demonstrated that this business may be extended indetinitely. The menufecture of cotton goods at this place will commence in 1673. The machinery for the mill is on its way, or soon will be. This will b anew cnterprise for the Missiseippi Valley, and many other places ere waiting to ses what de- wmonstration will be made hero. MERCHANTS' AND MECEANICS' FATR. A year ago, the Young Men's Association of thjs place, held o fair dnring the holidays, a5 an experiment. The enterprice was 8o succossful that the second ono is to be held this year. The exhibition resembles the Fino Art Hallat the Iowa State Fair in many respects, though it is of greatintorest. Manyarticlesof sntiqueorigin, ancient coins, old publications, geological spoci- mens, and regresantnfiveu of all the arts, are brought togetherend finely displayed. Mochan- dcal productions form quite a feature in the ex- hibition. The third story of the largest block in the city is engaged, and is now being pre- pered for the exposition. People will be present from all the neighboring towns to see the fair and ettend the evening entertzinments, which ere of & first-class character. THE 8T. PAUL BATLEOAD is now completed, forming a complete river-line of road. Trains aro soon to_run_through from Chicago to St. Paul, conneciion_for the presont with the Northwestern, but ultimately to ron in connection with the Chicago, Burlington & Quin%l:aad, if a crossing of the river is effect- ed. letter road is now operzted from East Clinton, and is not a very profitable *invest- ‘ent,” and never will be until another bridge is erectod. Quip Nuxc. SECURITY OF THE CITY. To the Edilor of The Chicago Tritune: Sm: To render Chicago s practically fire-proo city €hould be the prime aim of our municipal logislation. Whatever else we may strive for, the safety of the city is, beyond question, the paramount consideration. We cannot afford to be burned out & second time; nor will such a calemity ever happen to us if we have the -wis- dom to take the proper precautions. To rely upon chance or probabilityis absurd. That the city has been once burned is ovidencs that it may be burned again. There is o such thing as chance. Everyevent bas its cause. The great fires that havs occurred in Chicago, Boston, and London have shown conclusively that the so-called fire-proof buildings are the ‘most dangerous, and, when once fully ignited, are the most difficult to extinguish. From their height, and the confinement of their walls, they are suddenly converted into furnaces, develop- inga degree of heat whioh renders them more unapproachable and more difficult to sub- due than = thoussnd wooden buiidings. 'This is & fact which hes been but recently dis- covered. Tho denger from incondiarism is, therefore, greatly enhanced. That iron, and stone, and even brick will burn, hes been most anequivocally demonstrated. InBoston, not one stone was left Tupon an- ther. The strongest granite walls were reduced to dust. It is clear, thereforo, that more atten- tion £hould be given to tho internal construction of buildings, particularly of those which are Bbove three stories in height, If the shelring, for instance, instead of being of wood, as is uni~ versally the caso, wers of some incombustible material, it is evident that the progress of a fire wonld be materially retarded.

The greatest care ehould be exercised in the appointment of our police. They should be calm, steady, sober, and gentlemanly 19en,—the truo guardians of thecity, and faithfal observers, as well as execntants, of its lawa. A small po- Iice of such men, under stern discipline during their honrs of sorvice, is far better than five times the number of idle loungers,—public nuisances, Bupported at the public expence. Wo can obtzin such men, and they should be obtained, whatever the cost may be. ¢ firo occurrred in Cottage Grove lnat night. It was just outside the city limits. It was a bitter cold_night.

There should be 1o such thing as luck. Let a fire break out where it will, at any time, or under any circumstances, our Fire De- pertment, aided by the police, should be ablo to subdne it promptly. This should be substantially a fire-proof city. Those who count the cost of making it 8o, or who fear the expense which such precaution would engender, are ‘‘ penny-wise pound- foolish” individuals, who, thinking themselves well insured, are comparetively indifferent to the genersl safety of the community. But, incase of another wide-spread conflagration, their insurance might not be worth five cents on. the dollar. Cost what it will, this city showd be made ab- solutely secare from fire. Sound cconomy de-s mards that this should bo done. Every sensible taxpayer must be agreed upon this point. In comparison with this, every other subject be- fore the City Government is insignificant. The safety of tha city should be_the firat and prime object of our manicipsl legislation. We may be swept ony night by anothoer general fire. Our present means of exti g 3 fire on a bois- terous night ara small and unreliable. We should be able to bid defiance to circumstances. There should bono such thing as sccident. There should be no excuse whatever for a fire to get tho start of the Fire Department. It shonld be impossible for such an event to occur. It matters not if the whole Fire Department shonld become exhausted by their labors on any -night ; & fresh relay of men should be ready for the next night, The head of the Fire Dopart- ment should see to this, and bo Leld responsible for the result. Tha{ the Fire Department should be tired out, and unable to do their duty, is a plea that he should never be permitfed to make. He should have a full xelni of men, ready onany end every night; and the power to fil vacancies temporarily, in case 0f need, should be fally accorded to him. 1If, under such circumstances, a fire gets be- yond the Fire Department, the Chief should be discharged at once.

How aSplendid Xtalian Erunette En« thralled Hime--EHis _Affection for DMiiss Mackensic. Great loves have been often the inspiration of great men. Patrarch tuned his Iyre for Laura, and sung himself into immortality. Dante was in- spired of Beatrico s well as of Heaven, and Jooks up toward her forever. Michael An- gelo loved Vittoria GColonna with a love 83 large as his genius, as steadfast and as no- ble a3 his nature. But there are loves which debaso, 28 did that which was the one blot upon the fame of Nelson. Of this nature was the love which Thorwaldsen conceived for Anna Maris Megnani, She was not noble enough to be_his inspiration, or gentle enough to_be his deau, ears, put together amounta which 000,000 sestercas ™ (32,000,000). harg ti the cornelian, contented mind, to July; th sar- donyx, conjugal fidelity, to August ; the chryso- lite, nntidote ngainst madness, to September ; Yours re- | the opal, hope, to October ; the topaz, fidelity, J.

Think of that famous wardrobe of Theodosin withits Sidonian mantles rich with purplo fold, Belts bossed with pearls, robes St with gems, ‘And head-plates ehining green with emeralds bright, And helmeéts rich with preclous sapphires’ Light. Pliny eays: “‘I have myself seen Lollia Pan- lioe, once the wife of the Emperor Caligula, though it was on no great occasion, nor she in her full dress of ceremony, but at an ordinary wedding dinner, and bavo seen hor entirely cov- ered with_cmeralds end pearls, strung’ alter- nately, glittering all over her hesd, hai bair, ban- neck, and fingers, the value of all d to the sum of 40,- Pliay alao says of the dismond: (It is so at, if struck with s hsmmer upon an comfort.

But ghe had derk hair, and flashing eyes, and carried her hesd as proudly as a Princess in & picture; and the Italian blood ¥ag warm in her veins. Thorwaldsen was abont 33 then,—he did not mature esrly,—but he had still & yonthfal anc delicate besuty, not nncom- mon among the natives of the North. His light air, his clear complexion, his blue eyes; formed an admirsble contrast to pettle chamb :. She wlm t{xbfl firsg to fall in love, but presently the passion mas- tored 'Mhorwaldson also, ead . she - boc camo hig mistress. It was not long, however, before, impatient to improve her_ condition, &ho made a new conguest and married Ligher rank and empler means than those of her artist lover. Her relations with the sculp~ tor were scarcely interrupted, but the young Dano, being of a more sensitive nature than the lady, suffertd cruelly; and when tha bride- groom carried off his wife to Florence, foll seriously ill. Anns Maria had not the slightest affection for her husband, whom she had married simply becanse she was anxious to rise from the humble station where her birth lad placed her. But as she was unwilling to break tha tie which bound her to the artist, she was quite aware that she might sooner or later bo abandoned by her logal protector. She pro- vailed, therefors, upon her lover, whose pros- pects of pecuniary success had now somewhat improved, to ‘enter into a formal en- gagement, In vriting, to provide for her xupsf;rt in case of rupture with her hus- band. Having thus put up her umbrella, she did nat cars how quickly the storm burst. = The crisia came at Florenco, and was announced to Thorrwaleden in a document dated June 12, 1803. 1t was 2 summons in due legul form, command- ing him, on tho part of the Signora Anna Maria d'Undon, to appear forthwith and perform tho ongegement entered into by him with the 'lady aforesaid. He acquitted himself of his obligations by receiving her into his house. Once instailed there, sho tormented him by her espionago and het jealousy, until he must have wished a thousand times that he could reverse Pygmalion, and turn this woman into marble. Not even the birth of a danghter, to whom Thorwaldsen was tenderly sttached, seems to have ennobled the passionate, undisciplined Italian. Sometimes the scuiptor submitted fo her; at others he broke his chains 2nd ook a vacation, from which, hovwever, he gwatya dutifully roborned to his domestic tor- ent. After fourteen or fifteen years of {h1s unsatis- factory life, real trouble came to Anna 3iaria in the ehape of two rivals. Hithorto har Jjealousies had been unfounded ; but Thorwaldsen conceiv- ed s sorious interest in Miss Frances Mackensio Beaforth—a Scotch-English womsan, virtuous and weli-born. Sha was not remarkable for her besuty ; but eho posscesod o fine and cultivated mind, ud a noble and kindly heart. Thorwsldsen — was 48 years old. He bod coased to expect - love's diviuest ccstacies.

Precious stones of tha rarest value were offer- ed in great quantities to the heathen gods, and statues of these were covered with sparkling gems. Many aroyal dame might have envie the fair goddess ‘Astario, whois said to have been resplendent with dxmond:hheryls, #ard- hyacinths, and emeralds, all brought to ims from all lands—Egyptians, er ! aby{lill Ethiopians, Indians, Medes, Armenians, sn Babylonians. Precious gems were also used to lighten the orror of tombs, and wo are told that the tomb a man of | of Edward the Confessor, in Westminster Ab- bay, contained 84 jowels of great value, and the tomb of Thomes a Becket, in Canterbury Cathe- dral, was celobrated for its great wealth of gems. “'The timber work of the shrine on the out- * says Stow, ‘was covered with plates of damasked with gold wire, which ground of 0ld'was again covered with jewels of gold, 28 Tings, ten or twelve cramped +with gold wire into thesaid ground of gold, many of theso rings ‘having stones in them, brooches, images, angels, precious stones, and great pearls.” Within this shrine the wealth corresponded to its outer wells, and Erasmus, who was per- mitted, before the Reformation, to look wpon the treasures, says that “under a coffin of wood, enclosing znother of gold, which was drawn up by ropes and pulleye, he beheld an amount of riches the value ¢f which he was unable to estimate. Gold was the meanest thing visible ; tho wholo_place glittered with the rarest an most precious gems, which were generally of ex- traor of a gooes,” ary size, and some larger than the egg The enormous value of all this wealth was too great for the cupidity of Henry VIIL. and he ac- Cordingly sppropristed it to himsolf. The Abbey of St. Denis during the middle ages was tegerded as one-of the marvels of Europe, and wes visited by strangers from all parts of the civilized world. Here the Kings of Frence were buried, sur- rounded by untold treasures—jowels and other veluables placed within their tombs, and offered at the shrino of the Virgin and to the esints. Many of theso_articles belong to history, and have a world-wide fame, but we can only men- on & few of them; o brilliant ruby in which was enchased & thorn claimed to have belonged to the crown worn by Christ; the crown of hnrlemngno, of gold enriched with jewels and orn ¢ the] coronation of the Kings of France; the gold crown of the consort of Charles IV., sef with gems; a book of the Epistles and Gos. pels bound in gold and the binding covered with goms; St. Louis' ring with a_sparkling sap- £him, and e sbrine containing the bones of é; ouis set with precions gems. Ono of the rerest and most valusble of gems the oriental ruby. A perfect ruby oxceeding than the The King of Ava is 8aid to possess ome of the same weight, which he wears a8 an ear-pend- ant. The Emperor of Russia possesses the largest oriental ruby known. It was bromght from China, snd owned by Prince Menzikoft. Peter the Grezt of Russia, whon he was visit- ing Englnnd,lpreaen!ed as a farewell gift to King William a splendid ruby, worth £10,000, which, in accordance with kis well-known eccentricity of character, he took from his pocket wrapped in & bit of common brown paper. A famons ruby which once belonged to Ed- ward, the Black Prince, is now prominent in the royal crown of England. This ruby is pierced through the contre—after the Esstern manner. It was worn in the battle of Agincourt, 1415, by enry V. The King of the ieland of Ceylon—famous for its wealth in jewel mines—was 8aid to have pos~ ecssed the largeat ruby ever seen, being & span in length and as thick aa & man’s arm. It has,” says Marco Polo, *the appearance of s glowing fire, and ia 80 valuable that no esti- mate can bo mads of its worth in money. The Grand Kahn Hublai sent ambassadors to this monarch with a request that he would yield to him possessfon of this gem, in return for which he should receive the value of a city. The an- gwer given was to this effect: *That he could not sell it for all the treasure of the universe, nor would he, on any terms, suffer it to_ go out of his dominions, as it had been handed down to him by his predecessors on the throne.’ * The early Chinese travellers relate that in the seventh century a ruby was elevated on a spire in Coylon, the light of which illuminated the skies. A Chinese Emperor worein his cap & earbuncle of such unusual brilliancy that at the great lavees at night, its red lustre 5o filled_tha palace that it was called the “ Red Palace Illu- ‘minator,” An old Chinese work eays that the m:fin of trade in the Island of Ceylon was coeval with the visit of the Indian god, Buddha, who sprinkled the land with sweet dew, which cansed it to produce red gems—and thus gave the peo- ple an articlo of merchandise. Among the superstitions connected with the mhg is that it confers the power of sesing in the dark, if it be worn upon the neck. It alsowarned its wearer by change of color of coming misfor- tune, and cured diseases of the a{)e if tied over the forehesd in a linen cloth. Plutarch says : It i discovered when the moon is waning to the sound of the fifes, and is worn by persons of exalted rank.” Next to the diamond and ruby, the opal is the most valuable gem. The Empress Josephine possessed the finest opal of modern times, which was called *“ The Burning of Troy,” on account of its brilliancy, ‘which resembled the fitfal light of flames. An ancient writer mentions an opal of the size of a hazel nut, which was wrought with marvellous skill and clasped in the claws of a golden eagle. 1t contained all the various tints of the sky, and shone with such splendor that it struck terror into the bearts of boholders. The opal was highly cstesmed by the ancients, but modern romance has flung around it s bale- ful influence, and it is said mgbring ill-luck toits wearer. Tho beautiful sapphire, with its soft, velvety blue color, was eateemed as being & great encm; to ““black choler, and to free the mind an: mend the manners.” It was sometimes powder- ed and mixed with milk as = ouro for boils, which was surely a rather expensive medicine. It was believed that if the name of the sun or the moon Was engraved upon the amethyst and the jowel hung around the neck upon the hair of a baboon, or the featherof a low, it was an infallible protection againat witcheraft, end also protected ita wearer from the flight of locusts and of hailstones. The amethyat is called the * Bishop's stone,” ‘because rings set with these gems are worn by the Roman Catholic Bishope. The turquoige not only strengthens the eyes and enlivens the heart_of its possessor, but is said also to take upon itself the consequences of & sorious fall, and bresking itself to save its wearer from fracturing abone. It was also sup- posad to lose ita color if the parson grew ill, and to be entirely blanched if he died— # As & compassionate turquoise that doth tell, By looking pale, the wearer is not well.” Oneof the most beautiful and pu;rxhr of gems s the emerald. This jowel is said to have een found in olden times o large that the Ro- mans used emeralds for their mirrors, and Nero is said to have worr: an emerald eya—gtuu when viewing the combat of the gladiators. The early intabitants of Pern worshipped as their goddeas an emerald as large as an ostirch's ogg. Tho pricsts, who had charge of this divin- ity, gave out that no gifts wereso precious to the goddess as ‘‘her dsughters,” the emeralds, and therefore grest quantities of these jewels war) brought to her shrine. Vameralds wore preferred to all other precious “‘fi"f‘" eparkling round the brim of a jewelled goblet. 3 Thoge who engraved upon gems wers accus- tomed to gazo for s time upon emerald to ro- fresh their wearied eyes. This stone was also considered s preventive of epilepsy and other diseases. It was held in such esteem by the Romans that Pliny tells that when the fa- mous Lucullns = Ianded _at Alexandria, Piolemy, who wish to attach him forever to hig interests, could think of no moro pracious gift with which to win his regard than a precious emorald eetin gold and with hig portrait en~ graved upon Hyperbole of Differcnt Nations, Tho Spaniards and the Gascons have been the greatest, praoticers of theart of hyperbole. In the seventeenth century a little book was published with the title ‘* Al-man-sir, or Rhodomontades of the Most Horrible, Terrible, aud Invincible Captain Bir Frederick Fight-all.” This contains many of the gascondes quoted in more modern jest-books. Here is one of these that has under- gone varions alterations: ‘“If Icome to thee with my foot I will kick thee 8o high into the air that, hadst thou ten cart loads of bread, thou shouldst be in greater fearof starving than of falling.” Another is an elaborate description of the vaporer’s furniture : ¢ My bedstead is made of the ribs of gisnte, the ticking of my bed is filled with the mnstaches of the masters of the camp of the Grand Turk,” andeo on. The more modern versions of these stories gain muchin form, 38 in the following instances: A Gascon, whilo skating, waa pushed down by an acquaintance ; bs got up, and said, in 8 rage, ‘It is very lncky for you, sir, that I don't dislike falling,” An officer hear- ing some one celebrating tho exploits of a Prince who, in twoassaults upon » town, had killed si1x men with higown hand, cried out, °*‘ Bah, I would haveyou to know thatthe very mattresses Isleep on ate stuffed with nothing, but the whiskers of those whom I hava sent to slumber in the other world.” Another Gascon, in proof of hia nobility, asserted ‘that **in his father's castle they used no other fire-wood than the batons of the different Marshals of France of his family.” A soldier said ‘ he had been in so many battles, and had been 8o battered with bullets, that he sworo he had a mine of lead in his ineide.” The Greskas were gnfi ventors of these sayings. On Dienecos‘ o Spartan, being told the number of Xerxes army was 80 great that when they shot forth their arrows the sun would be darkened by their multitude, he answered, “If the Medes darken the sun, we shall have our.fightin the shade,” The American humor partakes slightly of this eame character and extravagance, but it is, nev- ertheless, the growth of the soil. The vastness of the country, which is sa1d to be bounded on the east by the Atlantic Ocesn, on the north by the surora borealis, on the west by the setting sun, and on the south by the day of judgment, and the peculiar circumstances in —which the people are placed, can be traced in most of these stories, The hyperbolical or tall species of American humor, was_much in vogue some years ago, aud such stories as the following were once very com- mon: “Aman was 8o tall that hehad to go up & ladder to shave himself;" “anothor was s0 strong that hia eneeze would kill a buffalo acroes the Mississippi River.” A Magssachu- getts pig was 8o lean that it was neceasary to tie 8 kmot in his tail to prevent it getting through the chincks of the paling.” *An American artist painted & snow-storm 80 naturally that he cnnsht a bad cold b! sitting near it with kis coat off.” *Some land was sorich that aaquash vine, in its rapid growth, overtook s drove of pigs.” “The reason why cream is dear is that milk has risen 80 high the craam can't reach the toF." Thers is & capital story, in which it is reiated that ** a cosch drove through the county 80 fast, and the mile-stones passed so quickly by, that the pasuongers thought they wero in & chusch-yard.” This coach, however, was beaten by the “skipper, which went go tarnation fast, that in sailing round Long Island she loft her shadov: three and a half miles behind her,” Major N., when asked whether he was serious- ly injured by the explosion of the boiler of the 8t. Leonard ateamer, replied *that he was go used to be blown up by his wife that a mere steamer had no effect upon bim.” The evidence of a witnees in & life-insurance cage, involved in the blowing up of a stosmer on the Ohio, ie droll, just because it is characteristic. The witnesa new the missing man, and aaw him on the deck of the steamer before the explosion. When asked by the lawyer, “What was the last time you maw him?"” he answered, ‘The very last time I over get eyes on him was when the biler burst, and Iwas going up, I met bim and the smoke-pipe coming down.” Ibisnot fair that the foreigners should have all the lies to them- selves; 80 we will let the Englishman put in an appearance. A commercial traveller, boasting that his firm spent £300 a for” writing-ink _slone, was snswered, *Dur- ing the last twelve months we have saved inthat article nlone £3,000, by merely omit- ting the dots to our i'sand the” crosses to our t's.” Ono of the best specimens of rhodomon- tade is the following story, which we have not seon in priot: Two men who were famous for their vaporing laid o wager as to who could tell the biggest lie. Ono eaid thet he was in “the mid ocean, far awsy from land, when he espied aman swimming. The ship was stopped, and ‘preparations were made for taking the man in, when he cried out, ‘I'm all right, and only wanf to know . the latitude and longitude; for I am swimming to England.’” This seemed sufi- ciently improbable, but _the other capped it by asking *‘whether his friend had seen the man again¢” and being answered in the negative, 8aid: *Then I am he.”—British Quarterly. — Thoughtful Delicacy. = A story is told by Dickens in the narratise of his rest- ence In Switzerland given tothe world by Mr. Fors ter, of a Swisa bride who, having, zccording to local custom, to buy a black dross for hor wedding, observed fo her mother, an old lady of 82, # You know, mother, Iam sureto want mourning for you soon, 2nd the same gown will do.” Simliar want of reverent deli- cacy is often compatible with real affection in the case of persons deficient jn cultiva- ton. District visitors often meot with instances of this obtuseness in the very poor, even wheu there is no Inck of good feeling. The Scotch peasantry, a warm- heorted race enough, are grest einners in (his respect, A benevolent lady, who devoted herself to soothing the Woes of thesick and eorrowful, in & emall Scotch patish, being porticulazly sttracted by an smisble young girl, the daughbter of s cottar, who was suffering ' from consumption, visited her continually ~ in her littlo' garret. The patient got weaker and weaker, ard her kind friend entertained little doubt that thie end was near, when, on calling a5 usual to geo the auflerer, sho wad aston: isBed to find her down stairs In the ‘/kesping-room.” On questioning the mother as to the improvementehe supposed must have ftaken place to warrant this change, the tender parent immediately replied, in her child’s prezencs : “ Deed, ma leddy, We wero fain to mova her : we conldna hae gotten tho corpse doon the Btair.”—Echo.
