From the Richinond (Va.) Dispatch, Jan. 12. The English sparrows that were so much landed and welcomed when they were first brought here.and since their prodigious increase and rapacious inroads upon smaller birds have Been so much detested, find it hard to get suf- ficient food to support life. When killed, as Doys find it easy fur them to do now, they are seen to be very poor. There are plenty of peo- pie here who wish that all of them were dead, ‘and so they will be if this inhospitable weather continues and householders fall to throw out @rumbs to them.

I cannot pretend to give you a description of that scene of Saturday at the funeral of Gam- betta, and happily the telegraph will haye done that forme. The whole city was in mourning, the whole country seemed to turn out to follow the car. In such cases figures are eloquent. The procession walked from the Chamber of Deputies to Pere-la-Chaise—that is, with certain allowances, from one end of the city to the other, or from threeto four miles. All this way the [eons stood five, six. ten, a dozen deep, and all the way up from basement ‘to house-top. The procession took nearly two hours and a half to pass a given spot, and when the head had Teached the cemetery the rear was still at the Louvre. Generally such monster gatherings will not bear analyzing; this one will, and it is more wonderfu! when looked at in detail than when looked atin gross. There were many soldiers in it who went because they were told to go, but there were many more private per- sons who were there of their own accord, who came from all parts of the country. Soihe looked quite tired out, as though they had been traveling day and night. It was, as I take it, a vast review of the republican forces of France. The “proletariat” was perhaps wanting, but I am now talking of the forces that rule the France of to-day. It was the Gambettist following, and we saw for the first time how large and how influential that following was. When all those banners and crowns passed inseribed with the names of cities and towns and hamlets and car- ried by almost every species of association,indus- trial, commercial, official; when the ministers went by holding the pall: when Alsace-Lorraine sent, I think, six-and-thirty deputations; when the government offices and the railways and the great companies of credits and the diplomatic | corps were each and all represented, then one can form some idea of the grip this strong hand had laid upon France. In spite of all that has been said against personal rule. nbetta has had his plebiscite like poleon — THI. | It came ate, for it was a _ plebiscite of death, but here was in a appeal to the nation and this the nation answered. Most of us expected something of the sort, but none, I think, had | imagined it as it was seen in that procession. What other name could have brouzht so many and such diverse people together? Here was the result of all the steady work that had gone | on for years and years in the political laboratory | of his breakfast-room. Now you know why he | always seemed to have tle minister of the day in his power—he could pull strings in so many different directions. He.touched a bell in the | Rue de la Chaussee @’Antim, and the vibration | was felt all throuzh France. The main character of the crowd showed the man he was—it was bourgeois like himself, and | in that lay its force. Most of the people looked ‘common;” they did not wear mourning, they | were in all kinds of coats: black. gray, and | brown. They shuffled along, they trotted | along, they did not care even to keep step. Yet for al! that they were most of them somebodies, mayors, chalrnien of committees for managing | elections, country editors, small employers, | ‘Schoolmasters, commercial trayelers—who do a little political propagandism for the republic in their spare time—and some were very considerable persons indeed. These were the men that Gambetta had brought into | pewer—little Gambettas akin to the little Napoleon who, as Emerson finely says, made the great one what hewas. Each in his own circle led something of the life of the master—a free and Joyous course, nut disdaining the good things of existence, and mingling with t sound, wholesome concern for political r ration—a kind of apostleship that dees not ex- elude ajoke. This was his strength—he took politics out of the region of austerity. The dif- ference betw him and M. Guizot was that M. *ul cravat in three folds round the ambetta wore his only in one. It was a slight difference and yet the greatest in the In his appeal to all these men he was distinetly human and not of a high and unat- tainable pitch. He made the ideal easy: any man might hope to be the Gambetta of his vil- age. 1 return to that funeral. I have never seen the like of it; the funeral of Thiers was not so grand: it was more official. People went be- canse they had to go; it wholly lacked the rich variety of representation. All sorts and cordi- tions of men came to this one; and, more strange still, even the day atter the funeral a hundred thousand people went to Pere-la-Chaise to look at the provisional vault in which he was laid. Remember that more than five times a hundred thousand had turned out to see the last ot him the day before, and the day before the wreaths had been piled in wagon loads, as though all the winter flowers in France had been used up for the occasion. But the second crowd brought just as many As they threw them down in front of the vault they made a heap 300 meters long. Iam astounded at the whole thing, and as yet donot know what to make of it; but time will help, Of the ceremony, remark this that it was the most striking demonstration for infidelity that we have yet had in France. Every clase, profession and interest was represented in this funeral cortege but one, the priest. From first to last he was neither seen norheard. | They halted the body at the cemetery gates and there madetheirspeeches over it, and when all the | Speeches were over and the crowd gone a dozen men quietly put it away ina provisional vault, as though they were laying it by in a cupboard. The cross at the gate was hidden by the decora- tions. No word was said in the name of any re- ligion. It was the line of Pope with a difter- | en They “never mentioned God to ears | polite.” Once more I say nothing for or against —I merely note a fact. I suppose it would have been Impossible in any other country to hold a state ceremony of that magnitude with such a formal and deliberate omission. Here it isso much accepted that it has excited no remark | beyond a sort of protest d’usage in the clerical papers. and that very absence of remark shows | how completely infidelity has acquired its right | ofcitizenshIp among this singular community. | It diminishes nothing of the respect due to a | man; it is put on the same tolerant footing as | the creeds; you are a Catholic or a Protestant or a Jew or a Mahometan or an unbeliever; your respectability is consistent with all. +e. Shall There Be Bangs? From the Wichita (Kan.) Times. Bangs on a girl give her an unruly look, like acow with a board over her face. You take the gentlest cow in the world and put a board | over her face, and turn her ont in a pasture and | she gets the reputation of being unruly. and | you would swear she would jump fences and raise merry Hades. and you wouldn't give so much for her by #10 only for beef. It is so with agirl. Ifshewears her hair high on her fore- head. or brushed back, or even had frizzes, and | has a good look, you will go your bottom dollar on her, and you feel that she is as good as gold, d that when she tells her young man that she ves him there is no discount on it, and no gig- gling back; but take the same girl, with her front | hair banged, and when she looks at you you feel just as __ though | she would hook, and you can't trust | her. She has a fence-Jumping look that makes @ young man feel as though he wouldn't feel | safe unless she was tied hand and foot, ‘so she couldn't get out of the pasture. A girl with | bangs may try to be good and true, but it is | awful hard work. When she looks at hereelf in | the glass and sees the quarter of an inch of fore- | | head she says to herself: “I am dangerous; | they want to look out for me.” She thinks she | is all right, but she ts constantly doing that | which a girl who wears her hair brushed back would not think of doing. The bang girl may | belong to church, and may try to put on a pious | | look while the hymn is being read. But she will look out from behind these bangs, side- wise, at some meek and lowly young Christian who Is trying to get his mind fixed on the hymn,and he will get his mind on her, and it will break him all up, and he won't know whether hely singing “A Charge to Keep I Have” or “She’s a Daisy.” The bang girl may place her bangs down an the back of the pew ahead of her during the morning prayer, and try to be good, | but her corset will be too tight, and as she | hitches around to ease the pain one eye will rise lke the morning sun over the back of the pew, and that eye will catch the eye ot a young man two seats to the right, who is trying to cover his iace with one hand while he tries to keep the jes off the pomade on his hair with the other, and his interest in the prayer is knocked into a cocked hat. The banging of a girl's hair changes the whole nature of the little wretch, and she becomes as a gun that Is not loaded. You take a picture of “Evangeline” and bang her hair, and she would look as thongh she would “run at” people. How would Mrs, Van Cott, the alleged female preacher, look with her hair banged ? It ts just the saine with boys. You take a nice, plons Sunday school toy who can Talk About Whence He Cometh and Whither He Goeth. ‘From the Atlanta Constitation. “Where do ail these rabbits come frum?” asked a Constitution reporter of a leading com- mission merchant yesterday, pointing to a box of the little animals that iay in limber lifelese- ness before him. “Rabbita? Well rabbits form a prominent product of that land flowing with milk and honey, put down on the maps as middle Ten- nessee, There they roam in countles* numbers in spite of the denseness of the population, It is a matter of wonder to me that so much rame can be found in that part of the globe. In fact it seems to me that middle Tennessee will pro- duce anything that can be grown in any other part of the world, and in greater abundance.” “How are the rabbits caught?” “They are nearly all shot, and nearly every one is shot in the head. It is true. however, that we never see the heads here, but I am a middle Tennessean myself, and know what I am talking about.” “The rabbits come here already dressed?” “Yes, they: ate killed by the hunters after a snow and are then sold to the merchants in the little towns, and they have them cleaned and consigned to us or to other commission mer- chants in Atlanta. It !s a singular thing this cleaning of rabbits, They have to be dressed very carefully. Not a hair must be allowed to touch the flesh; if it does it is next to impossible to remove it.and if in the course of the hunt the skin is torn from a part of a rabbit, that part of the flesh will take on a dark color that no amount of washing can remove and when the balance of the skin is remoyed no length of time will ever make the newly skinned part as biack as that ich was skinned during the hunt. The heads are cut off and the rabbits are packed in barrels or boxes without salt.” “ Why without salt 2” “ Because when they are salted the salt draws the blood to the surface and spolls the appear- ance of the game. No green game should be salted before it is sent to market. Poultry should not be salted.” “How long will it keep without salt 2” “Several days in ordinary weather. We never yet have had any rabbits spoil on ourghands. ‘rhis damp, spongy weather Is the worst’ on the rabbits.” ** How many rabbits come in a barrel ?” “Well, they are packed together spoon fash- jon, and a barrel will hold about us many rab- bits as it will hold oranges—say two hundred and fifty.” “And how much dves the hunter get for them?” “About enough to pay for his powder and shot, His shoe leather and the wear and tear ot his breeches may be counted on asa dead loss. He gets from three to five cents each for his rabbits. ‘They are generally hunted for fun, and the hunters’ are satistied to sell the game | for enough to lay in a new supply of ammuni- j tion for another int.” “Is the supply of rabbits regular?” “Well, not ly. It is just after a snow that the rabbits are ia the markets in greatest abundance. For instance, one day we hada big snow and I remarked that in three days the market would be flooded with rabbits. Two days after that we had eleven barrols, another firm had three, and another five. and so on around, making about five thousa: rabbits. Well, you would think the market would be glutted, but it was not. We sold out without much trouble, The rabbit supply depends on the weather, and a! snow means arush of rabbits. They retail at about fifteen cents a piece.” “You say you know how they are hunted; tell | me all about it.” } “The best hunt that I ever had in middle Ten- nessee was in 1 when the snow was thirty- one inches deep. The snow was fine. I went out hunting and could see the rise in the snow indicating where the bushes were. I would kick a bush and if the rabbit was under the snow he would jump and I would see the snow move. A jump or two forward and the snow would become packed in front of him so that he could not move; and all I would have to do would be to reach down and pick him up. Or- dinary hunting, however, is when the snow is trom four to six inches deep. It is glorious fan then, and 1 have never yet seen a man who did not enjoy it. A fellow forgets cold toes and a} pinching nose when he is on a jolly rabbit hunt in four inches of good snow.” The game market has been very well supplied this week, principally with venison, which sells by the ham at 20 cents per pound. Said a dealer yesterday: “We seldom cut a venison ham. Nearly every man who buys venison wants a ham. It can be hung up where the air will strike it and will not spoil. Venison rarely spoils. If left where the air will strike it, it becomes dry and as hard as @ rock, and then it can be chipped off. You have dried beef.” ——____—§—.¢o—__ Beauty and Extravagance. From the Lonaon Daily News. Do woman look prettier for all this increased expenditure? Oldish men say, ‘‘Ah, there are no pretty girls now, such as there were when I | was a young fellow.” Young men gay, “What guys women made of themselves before the present style of dress came in.” The trath Is, probably, that a pretty woman charms in any dress. not because of it, but frequently in spite of it; while a plain woman Is often enough sty- lish in her get-up, taking especial trouble to be Rerfectly correct in detall, since she cannot hope successfully to compete in point of looks. Ex- travagance, then, is by no means necessary to the setting off of beauty, and as for the common ex- cuse, that lavish expenditure !s good for trade, it furnishes a knife that cuts both ways. If expenses increase In one direction they must necessarily be limited in another; and if one set of trades- men get the Benjamin portion of a man’s in- come (through his wife and daughters), some other sets obtain less than they otherwise would. There were, of course, extravagant women In the days of crinoline and back chair, but their very extravagance would now almost be considered as economy. As compared with the powers of spending money of a woman to- day, it was “as moonlight unto sunlight and as water unto wine.” With all these blue, yel- low and scarlet ribbons tor temperance in drink, will no one start a white ribbon for temperance in costume? It might be at first difficult to ob- tain recruits, but, there certainly are a few women of England who have been gecretly hop- ing for a backward tide in the flow of present extravagance, and who would gladly hail the initiation of a far different state of things—a re- action in favor of simplicity and a purer taste. SS ‘The Kobber and the Editor. From the Virginia City Enterprise. “Listen, my children,” said a venerable man, “and I will tell you a story, beautiful and true. Once upon a time there was a bad, bold robber, who had his haunt in the wilds ofa mountain, At the foot of the mountain, in the valley, was | a village. It was not a very large village, ne in it a newspaper was printed. The robber looked upon tie editor ot the newspaper as be- ing the chief man of the village, and thought he must be very rich. So one dark night he came down from his den in the mountain and stole into the dwelling of the editor and then into the room where he slept. The editor, being a good man, slept as soundly and sweetly as a child. The robber searched all the place, but could not find the caskets of gold and diamonds he had supposed to be stored up inthe room. He then put his hands in all the pockets of the clothes of the editor, but found no money in any of them. The robber then stood fora time as inastupor. He was like one awakened froma dream. He listened for gome moments to the deep, regular breathing of the sleeping editor, and as he stood so he began to feel |. The heart of the bold, bad man was touched. Quietly he took from his purse 24.75, placed the money in the pantaloons pocket. of the editor, and softly stole from the house. In the morning, when the editor got up and put on his pantaloons, there waa a jingle as of money. A look of astonishment came into the face of the editor. He put his hand into his pocket and drew out the money. When he saw this great wealth the knees of the editor smote together; he turned pale, fainted, and fell to the floor, and there lay as one who is dead.” “Ohl oh! grandfather, did they catch the bad robber man and hang him on a tree?” “No, my dears, they did not catch the bad, bold robber. He is still living. From that day he feformed, and got a place as cashier in a big bank, where you will be glad to hear that he is sore wed and is greatly respected by all in his church.” “And the (ees editor man, grandfather!

Yesterday's New York Times contains the fol- lowing dissertation onthe favorite American game, which will be read with interest by the initiated. The writer and aealer evidently has made this branch of science a study. For the benefit of those whom it may concern it Is given in full: “This morning in a prominent column of your esteemed contemporary, the New York Sun, ap- peared the rollowing ite! “Four members of a well-known club in this city sat down to a game of poker on Thursday evening. There wasa dollar limit, and there was no desire on the part of any of the players to win much money. After one deal, three of them drew one card each, except the dealer, who out. The man of the left onthe age bet one dollar, the second man raised him one dollar, and the age raised the pot an- other dollar. This was followed by raises to the limit all around a second time, when the Man who made the first bet said: ‘Gentlemen, I ought to raise the bet; but this is a sociable game, and I'll not crowd you. { will simply call.” Without waiting for the others to bet, he laid tace upward on the table the deuce, tray, four and five of spades. The fifth card he placed back uppermost. The second man said: “I feel the same about this matter. I will sim- ply. call.” He then showed the deuce, tray, four and five of diamonds, hiding the fifth card. *I also cail,” said the age, and he displayed the deuce, tray, four and five of clubs. The fifth card of each was then shown, and it was seen that each had a straight fiush of the same value. The pot was divided. It was a square game, and the hands were not fixed. Now, as the above has naturally excited sclen- tific circles throughout the city and state, It is somewhat unfortunate that it contains several grave and singular errors. According to Prof. Charles Avery Doremus, of this city, who was the first, 1 believe. to examine draw poker with a spectroscope, the chemical composition of the averave hand is as follows: Protoxide of nine-high Nitrate of two jack: Sulphuret of kings up. Carbonate of three bull Methylate of sequence. Bi-bortate of flush...

As I my- self was a witness of the phenomenon. it is openly my duty to science and to the pub ic to narrate its particulars severally and in detail. As the Sun states, there were four conducting the experiment—Mr. C., Mr. D.

Mr. D., with that beautiful freedom from superstition characteristic of most experts in poker, sug- gested that if we could clange the pack perhaps some of us might win back enough to pay car fare home. To this we all assented, and Mr. C., our host, produced a new deck which fell to me todeal. I dealt. Mr. ). held that coign of vantage known as the age. Mr. C. skinned his cards and said he guessed he'd come in Just to be sociable. Mr. who is the most rapid dis- secter of hands the continent, turned his overseven or elght times, asked who dealt, whose age it was, and how much it was to come in ; ran over his cards again, wanted to know if any one was in, hemmed, lit a cigar, fooled with his documents a few minutes, and_finall. concluded he'd chip along just to oblige. I assed out. Mr. D.’s eves were now gleaming with the light of something very big, and he said he was very sorry all the gentlemen were in, ror he felt it to be his duty to elevate the pot #1. Mr. C., strange to say, did not tremble, but came in with astonishing celerity, as likewise did Mr. S., beneath whose piratical mustache gleamed a bland and feathery smile of perfect peace. It now became the duty of all hands to draw, and I served one card apiece. The effect was astonishing. Mr. D. looked at his draw, gave a gasp, and fell into a dead faint. Mr. C. threw a back somersault over .his chair, and Mr. S. sat and skinned and skinned and sat until his bland and feathery smile had expanded to such proportions that a knotted handkerchief had to be used to keep the lid of his head on. Some tincture of corn having been applied to the sufferere, however, they recovered sufficient presence of mind in a few minutes to bet. Mr. C. combed his hair over very carefully, and said he'd venture a chip. Mr. S. said he was so sorry he couldn’t think, but he’d have to bounce that some, and so raised it a dollar. At this Mr. D.’s eyes protruded so far that a visitor who entered atthat moment mistook him forthe hatrack, and he said that he'd ralse it back a dollar just to carve Mr. S. Mr. C. then took another peep at his hand to see that none of them had got away,and topped Mr. D. with a raise which made the visitor's teeth chatter. Then Mr. S. topped him. Mr. D. bounced Mr. S., and Mr. C. went howling over both, until Mr. D.’s overcoat, go- loshes. cane and watch, Mr. C.’s scarf pin, opera hat, terrier dog and dress coat, and Mr. S.’s chips, umbrella, collar buttons, ready money underclothing were on the table, and there was nothing left to bet but the gold plate in Mr. D.’s false teeth, with which he finally called. The result is exactly as the Sun has stated. Each gentleman showed down a straight flush, six high, looked at each other. then quietly pro- ceeded to sort out his wardrobe and valuables from the confused pile and dress himself. Now, of course, it was very mysterious, and the only possible solution is one which I can tor- tunately offer. I was the first arrival, and hap- pening to notice there were two decks, I exam- ined one, and must accidentally have set it down near the ice water. I think this is so, for 1 noticed when I subsequently dealt the deck it was remarkably col H.G.C. ee Dottie’s Victory. ‘From the Chicago Tribune. The day was a beautiful one, but little Dottie ‘was sad because her dear Mamma had gone out and locked up the Pie. She was sitting on the Floor and pulling the cat’s Tail, when who should comgin but Miss Lucy. Miss Lucy was a Chicago cn who was spending her Vacation at Pumpkin Dell (which was the name of the Town where Dollie lived) and was pretty Fly. “Where is your Mamma, Darling?” she asked, but Dottie did not reply, because she had noticed that when Miss Lucy called her “Darling” she was generally try! to Get the Pole on something about Dottie’s Papa or Mamma which she wished to Find Out. Dottie Was somewhat inclined to be Fly herself. So she kept on pulling the cat’s Tail and singing in her sweet, childish voice a little Ballad that her brother had taught her: Our Thomas cat he crosked the road Aid the fonsoe ohiay be erose the road Feason that ‘Was because he crossed the road. When Dottie had finished the first stanza of this Ballad Miss Lucy spoke to her again. “Would you not like. to come to our house to inner (oreo! “what foe cee ce asked Dottie, her oung yy with a Bright Smile, “Dried-apple shortcake” replied Miss Lucy.

Plerceval Deadwood pushed aside the mass of papers that Iayon the desk before him and gazed steadily, almost fiercely, at hisdaughter. She returned the gaze with a timid, hesitating, May-corn look, while the rosy blushes of maiden modesty chased each other rapidly across her fair young features and leaped outward Into the great beyond. “What brings young Frelinghuysen here so often ?” asked the old man. “His feet, I suppose,” was the answer, in low, surinking tones. “I noticed that he had them with him the last time he called”—and the girl shrank instinctively against her bustle. “I want no nonsense,” replied the father. “I have called you here to talk about your future. Xen must make a wealthy marriage.” “Papa!” “Do not interrupt me,” he continued. “I have spoken my plece,and have only to add that Tam a Hard Man from Wayback.” Sobbing as if her heart would break, Cecile went slowly to the sofa and set down with a dull, sickening thud. She had broken her bustle.

From the New York Times. A beautiful screen recently arrived in New | York is embroidered in Kensington and Queen Anne darning stitch. The frame-work is of carved mahogany, and the material upon which the embroidery is worked is of canvas, the sur- face of which is entirely covered with a design of flear-de-lis in three colors. The design of the carving on the frame harmonizes with that of the embroidered center, Being desizned for a4 o'clock tea. it has a shelf below the embroid- ery, under which hang from brasg rings dra- peries of olive plush. Trellis-work is an embroidery of recent date, resembling Strasbourg embroldery or Roman work, by being cut away from its background, but made with colored instead of plain materi- als. It is intended to represent. a climbing plant trailing over trellis-work, and for this reason only plants that ean climb can be used, such as honeysuckles, passion-flowers, and roses. The materials required are American gold cloth, sateens of green shades, and whole colors, and colored cretonnes of flower patterns, and’ filo- selles. The trellis is made with gold cloth. leaves and sprays of the design with ¢ rs and buds with the cre- tonnes, wiile the whole is finished with em- y worsted with the flloseiles. This work effective for screens, mantel-boards, or Subjoined are directions for an em- broidery design in trellis-work: Frame two pieces of strong linen one over the other in an embroidery frame. Trace the de- sign through upon this, and retain the design to jeut the leaves and flowers irom. Cut out long ps of gold cloth half an inch wide, and lay ¢ over the linen in dingonal lines, so as to form an open diamond pattern treilis-work. Baste the cloth to the linen to keep it in posi- tion, but take the basting stitches right over the cloth from side to side, so.as not to prick It Cut ont the leaves and stems color as much as the material willallow. Place the leaves, ete., upon the linen, and keep them in thelr right positions by pasting them down. Cut the flowers and buds from the chintz and paste them on the linen. Bring the leaves and work and give them the appearance of twining about It. Leave the work stretched in the frame until the paste is dry, then take it out and with filoselle silk, matching | the tints of the leaves and flowers, button-hole round their edges so as to secure them to the Mark out the veins of the stitch, and the centers of coloring of the flowers by adding in satin stitch some lines of light floselle. Button-hole around the edges of the treilis-work in two shades of old gold, so that one side ot the line is darker than the other. When the embroidery is fin- j ished cut uway the linen from the back where it has not been connected to the embroidery by the button-holes. A beautiful Bassinette cover is made of cream- white satin covered with boquets of tiny rose- buds, worked in the finest ribbon embroidery ever done in this country. The border is a rose- vine, tied here and there with knote in Louis XVI. design. The whole Is edged with two rows of lace. Persian Drawn Work.—This is carried to an extent and beauty in Persia that has rarely been attained by any European neediewoman. Not only are the borders to pieces of fine linen or muslin drawn out in the familiar squares of Eu- ropean work, but complicated designs are at- tempted, andthe various parts of the material drawn away so as to form regular patterns. On a piece of muslin in the South Kensington Mu- seum a Vairdyke border is formed by alternately drawing away a section and forming it into mi- nute squares, each square being button-holed over with colored silks, and leaving a section perfect, and covering that with silk embroidery, while the center of the muslin is filled with a round of drawn-work, edged with pets contain- ing flowers made with many colored silks. Eastern Inlaid Applique or Patch-work—Ie a most remarkable production. It is chiefly made at Resht, and js used for covers, carpets, and housings. 1t is patch-work combined with em- broidery. The colors used are extremely bril- lant, and the patches, (which are of cloth,) are cut so small and intosuch intricate patterns that it is marvelous how they can be joined together. Flowers, birds, and animals are treely used, be- sides geometric and conventional patterns. The pieces are stitched together and every seam af- terward concealed’ with lines of chain stitch worked over them with colored silks. Not con- tent with a single line of chain stitch, two or three lines upon each petal of a flower or feather of a bird are embroidered, and each line is worked ina different colored silk, while in many laces the entire patch is concealed with em- brotaery, either of gold thread or silk; worked so as to make a shaded design. Sometimes, in- stead ot chain stitches, lines are made with fine gold thread; these are not laid on flat, but are twisted into very small circles, laid so close to- gether as to form a broad compact line. Gold and silver foil is used instead of gold or silk; it is cut very narrow and folded over itself so as to form zig-zag lines, which are then sewed to the foundation, either as lines or to fill up certain spaces. Aset of finger-bow] doylies are exquisite speci- mens of drawn-work. Thé center of each equare of linen is drawn away. in patterns that are worked entirely in gold, forming arich and solid center to each doyley, the edge of which has the usual finish. Split Stitch—A stitch much used in ancient church embroidery and in silk embroideries to work the faces and hands of figures. It has the appeaaance of chain stitch, but lies flatter on the surface, and is more capable of forming the small half curves, rounds, or lines that follow the contour of the Sears and give the appear- ance of shading to embroidery only executed in one color. It requires to be worked in a frame, The Hounslow tragedy, which has caused 90 much excitement in London, arose out of the eul- cide of Dr. William Whitfield Edwards. It ap- peared that one morning the deceased came home from an interview with his partner, Dr. Whitmarsh, in a very depressed state of mind, and soon afterward his wife found him lying in an armchatr unconscidus, an empty bottle being found near him. A doctor was sent for, but Dr. Edwards died in a few minutes. The same morning a servant found in a drawer a letter in the deceased's handwriting, addressed to the Middlesex Mercury and marked “important.” It was as follows: Staxtey House, Rate Roap, + Hovnstow, Dec. 27, 1882—12:40 a.m. p Sita most foul _ herribie has been rought against me by a wicked,designing woman. What the motive was God only knows, unless we except the devil.

Ishould have stood my und and faced the consequences of a trial, and firmly believe have satished the jury of my in- nocence and have put the woman on her trial for perjury, if it were hot for that fiend in human form, my partner, Dr. Whitmarsh. This vile wretch— whom may God yet torment with all the torturesof hell, both in thts world and the next—glad of any pretext for adding to his store of ill-gotten gains, brought pressure to bear upon me to Teave the practice and run away from the noigh- borhood, offered a mein £500 out of £1,800 I paid him fourteen months ayo, he to retain’ all book debts, valued by myself, ‘befor?

WiLtiam WHITeTELD Epwarps. Besides this lettter there was apaper on which was written the following words, which were also read:—“The last words of William Whit- field Edwards. May God curse Michael Whit- marsh.” At the Inquest evidence was adduced to the effect that the wife or a laborer whom the de- 3 cee had been attending for hysteria had ; brought a charge of indecent assault against him. This charge the woman afterward withdrew in a letter signed by herself, her husband and Dr. Whitmarsh. At the same time the woman persisted in saying that the charge was true, and that shehad with- drawn it only because she didnot wish to injure Dr. Edwards or his wife. It appeared. how- ever, that a prosecution was to be instituted, and that Dr. Edwards became aware of this and that Dr. Whitmarsh had resolved to give evi- dence against him, late on the night before he Committed suicide. There was also a proposal by Dr. Whitmarsh that Dr. Edwaras should ac- cept £500 and leave the business, which is ex- plained in the letter which Dr. Edwards wrote before his death. Since the circumstances of the death of Dr. Edwards became known there has been consid- erable excitement in the locality, and Dr. Whit- ith whom the deceased was in partner- ship, has been the object of much animosity. On the night of the funeral about two thousand persons assembied round Albemarle House, the residence of Dr. Whitmarsh, and, notwithstand- ing the efforts of forty policemen, smashed all {the windows and did other damage, besides | burning Dr. Whitmarsh in eMgy. Dr. Whit- marsh’s surgery was also broken into, and his carriage was dragged out and broken into splinters. Next night in front of Albemarle House, and for a quarter of a mile on either side of it, there was a dense crowd wandering, as if aimlessly, to and fro; but in truth only kept from wanton mischief by the police force, powerfully strengthened by contin- gents from neighboring towns. The wildest re® ports were in circulation as to what was in- tended to be done. Between eight and nine o'clock some stone throwing was attempted, but it was promptly checked by the mounted police. At the same time the officers on foot formed a cordon, and kept the road clear by compelling the crowd to “move on.” Two effigies, pre- sumably intended to represent Dr. Whitmarsh and Mrs. Bignell, were paraded about the thor- oughfares in a cart. From the Atlanta Coustitution. Recently a car containing a curious freight was switched on the East Tennessee and Vir- ginia railroad and moved south. It was filled with beehives.
