Rows of very narrow velvet ribbon aroseon upon new French parasols. The newest waltz is fast and furious, and of course ungraceful aud fatiguing. Tho wearing of mourning by tho royal fam- ily will again bring black toilets into peonliar favor, as it has invariably donoin the past upon like ocoasions, If thero is anything madder than a wot hen it s & woman who spouds an_hour in noatly opening & suspicious-looking billet-donx sort of a lottor to her husband only to find it a bill from his tailor. A North Carolina woman made her husband clitmb an apple tres, and then sho chopped it down, These southérn women do soem to have bits of fun with their husbands anyway,— [Burlington Free Pross. A Chicago husband has just received ono ¢ | cont damaves from a man who ran away with his wifo. The husbaud fs very mad, but it so0ma to us that tls wifeis the one who is most slurred by such a verdict. A Newport glrl who had two suiters for her hand, proposed that they draw straws for her. They went right away and drew straws— that in, thoy drow something through. straws that reposed in glasses of liquid. As the weather gots warmer a great many uncommonly pretty and graceful shoulder- capes, polerines, and half-dolmans will make their appearanco, Of whatever color the wrap may bo made, Zace and beads are to bo hud to match, A Indy was tried before the Now Yorl court of appeals on o chargo of stealing a pieco of silk from a atoro, Sho said sho had no recol- lootion of doing it, and it was shown that she was under the influenco of morphia at the time, which had been proscribed by phys- icla to allay nervousness ocossioned by long watching at tho bedsido of her husband. The silk was paid for and the case dismissed. A Rhodo Tsland thiof broke intoa storo and while rumoging about a live lobster caught his hand and nqueezed it so his cries attracted the attention of the police. A woman with ordinary shrewdness can gloan a stors soattered about to catch the toes of the husband who attempts to sneak up stairs Iate at night with his boota in his hand, would give away his littlo racket nicely,—[Philadelphin Chronicle-Herald. A very ym['mllr garment for wearing with different skirts for morning, will be the “Hussar” jacket of ecru or cream-colored pouges, embroidered with white or brown silk upon tho rolling collar, deep turn-over cuffs, and the belt. This is an easy and comfortable walst, which looks well over skirts of almost any material color. For cool mornings at the seaside, white camels hair will be made up in- to these jackets, and simply trimmed with soveral rows of fine woolen braids, Some lovely cotton gowns, fresh from the artistio manufacturer still remain in their boxes waiting until the sunny weather should made them a temptation to purchase. The embroidery of St. Gall figures largely upon them, and for somo reason not explained, we aro assured that these dainty flower.tinted robes can be }mrchusd cheaper here than in Switzerland, from whenoe thoy came, Many of the French embroidered cottons are really beautiful, both in coloring and fineness of tex- ture, and will make very attractive aud airy costumes for summer, both for town and country wear, Great latitude is given just now to the bod- ico basques short on the hips, with full plaited postillion in the back, pointed waist, round walsts with pretty ribbon trimming and attach- JULARITIES, TLast_yoar forty.six bodies wera crem ated at Goths, Germany, at a cost of 8144 for each, All Porstans shave their heads from fore. head to the back of the neck, leaving a long gray tuft dangling on each side over the ears. Three large devilfish, two of thom mensur- ing oight fost hotweon tho tips of the ten. tacles, were takon at Anacortes, Montana Territory, last week, by some Indians. A novel feature in tho dining-room of a hotel at Niagara Falle is a colossal mirror, in which the falls are refloctad in such n manner that the guests may admire while they eat. While boring an artesian well near Dayton, Ore., the other day, tna tools took a tudden drop of several feet, and a gust of air rushed out that froze everything stiff, Since then tho ourrent has remained so strong and so intensely cold that work has had to be aban: doned, A gos well of such volume and force was strurk noar Middlotown, Waehington county, April 10, at the depth of 1,100 feet, that the drilling 'tools wero thrown out of it into the air and tho derrick demolished. 1t is thought to bo the largest gas producer ever found. Tho height and velocity of clonds may be dotermined by means of photography, Two cameras are placed 600 feot apart and provid. ed with instantaneous shutters, whizh are re. leaeed by electricity at the same moment, The angle of inclination of the cameras and the position of the cloud as photographed are thus obtained, and simple trigonometrical operations give the height and distance from thoso data, A rocent writer on the emotions of infants says curiosity shows itself the minute a child bexins to take interest in other things besides its food; and when, though it still carries overything to its mouth, it does so morely be- causo the tongue is the finost as wall a8 the sod organ of tonch.

The marks on the horn are such a3 would be made by the bread incisors of the lower jaw. and here scientific observation seems to confirin popular opinfon, The following is credited to The Monitor Republicano, of Mexico: ‘A wild boy was recently caught in tho Santa Rosa mountains in the vicinity of Tancanhuitz. He was car- riod to that town and put in a well-fenced gerden, where he greedily consumed froit, Inttuce, roses, and the roots of several plants. He nover spoke nor appeared to notice thoso who went to seo him, Ho seemed perfoctly harmlers, but one day he reized a little child threo yoars of age and began to oat it. The child’s " cries attracted attention, but before assistance reached the spot the youne savage had devoured the flesh of the right arm and part of the face, On seeing the child was about to be taken away, he squeezed it to death In his arms. This wild youth is now chained up, but his captors are at a loss what to do with him.” e — A Wondrous Woman, —T know a woman wondrous fair— A model woman she— Who never ruus her neighbors down When she goos out to tea.

Upon this information Gen. Sheridan at once acted, foughtand won the battle of Opequan, on the 19th of September, the key to his ;whole campaign in the valley. Later he acknowledged the val- vable information she had given him, and presented her with a watch and chain as a memento of the occasion.

The Philadelphia Press says: The Loyal Girl of Winchester is the soubri- quet givento Mrs. Rebecca M. Bonsal. Her maiden name was Wright, and she sprang from quaker stock. She and her family, with the exception of one sister, wore loyal, Her two brothers were in the northern army, and her father a ref- ugee. It would take a volume to tell of their persecutions and sufferings, and Rebecca's active interest in the cause has been told in song and story. She is to be complimented with a his- torical recital by post 2, G. A. R. The|had wheel of fortune has not turned many prizes for her. A position at the national capital is about the only recogmition she has ever received from the government for most invaluable services, ©Oar Grand Army posts are about to do something in the way of a tardy recognition of her loyal and brave conduct in time of revo- lution, When Sheridan took ecommand in the Shenandoah valley he was in sore distress for information as to the strength, posi- tion and condition of General Early's army. All hls spies failed to give him the needed knowledge. He had heard of Miss Wright's (now Mrs. Bonsal) pro- nounced union sentiments, and he deter- mined to approach her upon the subject of the enemy’s plans, One day in Sep- tember, 1864, a trusty black man ap- peared at her house and said: *‘Miss, am yo' fo’ de union?” Shy and suspicious, she did not at first auswer him, but finally her natural womanly instinct determined her to trust the messenger, 8o she answered: “Yes, John, Wl:iyl" The darky smiled broadly and then proceeded to dislodge from his mon- strous mouth a little roll of paper, doune up in tin-foil, the following note: Sgpr, 15, 1864, —1 learn from Maj.-Gen. Crook that you are a loyal lady, and still love the old flag.

Everybody in Birmingham and Shelton will remember Johny Bud- dington, son of the old gate-keeper at the west end of Huntington bridge; a rather clouse-mouthed, undemonstrative, but very studious lad, who for several yeara mado mathematics and civil engineering his special study, under M. . Banks, principal of the high school, and was re- garded by the latter as oxceedingly pro- mising. Upon graduating from a still higher school, on the completion of his studies, he was requred to write a thesis, which he did, taking for his subject the then just erected iron bridgo in ques- tion, and which, when his thesis was completed, he had the courage to declare a mistake and entirely unsafe. The boy's figures, which at once commanded at- tention, when shown at headquarters were all gone over by experts and found to be correct, much to the astonishment of ihe management. The matter, how- ever, was kept quiot. Tho bridgo was carefully watched, strengthened as far as possible, while steps were at once taken for the erection of & new one. Johnny Buddington is now chief engineer of the consolidated road. The First Lccomotive Trip in America Engineer Horatio Allen, in an article printed in The Railroad Gazette, settles the controversy as to the time and place when the firat locomotive was run on a railroad in America.

It has long been claimed that the South Carolina railroad, from Charleston to the Savannah river at Augusta, Georgia, was entitled to the credit of pre- cedence in this matter, but Mr. Allen’s testimony effectually disposes of the claim. He was the chief engincer engaged in the comstruction of that railroad, and he entered upon his labors at Charleston in September, 1829. To she South Carolina railroad company, however, the honor must be awarded of betng the first to adopt locomotives as the tractive power on a railroad 160 miles long, and the first to make a continuous. locomotive trip over a distance of 100 miles. 1t is a new feather in the cap of Penn- sylvania that the first puff of a locemo- tive was heard on her soil, and it is an honor to the borough of Homesdale which might well be commemorated in some enduring form. Impecunious Great Men. San Francisco Bulltin, A considerable number of public men have received testimonials frow their friends. Daniel Webster was tendered and received for many years the earnings of $100,000, which was put at interest for his benefit by his friends in and about Boston. Had not this provision of $6,000 & year been made, Webster would have retired from the senate, for he declared he would not give his life to his country for $8 per day. ‘‘Tom’ Corwin had his debts paid once at least by his friends. He never laid up any- thing when hol- ing federal offices, He retired from the office of secretary of the treasury comparatively poor. The mortgage on Corwin's homestead was once taken up by his political friends. Henry Clay had the samo service ren- dered him on the part of his political friends. He had been for a whole gen- eration in congress. He sometimes lived beyond his means, He was hospitable and even generous. He had little tact in managing his private affairs, Fis homestead at Ashland was mortgaged, and would probably have been foreclosed not his whig friends, just after his defeat for the presidency in 1884, stepped iaand privately canceled the mortgage. Thomas Benton was thirty years in con- gross. Yet in all that time he never be- came rich, nor did he improve any of the opportunities for making money while holding a federal office, Dotroit Free Pross, A day or two ago, while some of the city laborers were scraping at the pave- ment on Adelaide strect, a cltizen turned in from Brush street to pass thewm, “‘Will you tell me the time of day?’ ;kod an old man as he leaned on his 0. “‘Ten o'clock,” was the reply. The man had put the time back an hour, and, as he heard them grumbling over his announcement, he walked around the square, and in ten minutes turned in from Brush street again. “‘Faix, but is 1t 'livin o'clock yit?” asked the sarae old man, *‘Eleven o'clock! Why, it's only half- past 91" answered the pedestrian. There was a deal of muttering, and growling, and wondering; and he passed on to appear for the third time, @ now had his hat pulled down, his collar up, and walked with a limp, “Wud ye be kold enough to tell us the toime of dey?” queried the old man, “Of couree. It is just 9 o'clock to a second,” The laborers stood looking at each other in profound astonishment for a moment, and then the old man called out to them: “You, there, Patrick! Kape your eyes ed up Brush street for the next tin minutes and you'll see last night com- ing down to shake han d ust” ———e—— Want of Faith, 1t Schroder & Bocht, the dr donot suc ooad 1t s not for the want of fajsh.
