"ST1TPN MTMITPC ? A Xcw York Joarnalist'it Notes on an 1 Ocfan Trip. There is another class of what are technichaliy called " ship dressers," I writes Howard Carrol in the New York , Times. refer to "the spasmodic or : sudden and unexpected dresser." To describe one of the class is to de- i scribe them all. She came on board j the ship clad as sensibly and appropriately a< a woman could be. She was | not one of those deluded mortals who ! had been governed by the guide-books. | Evidently she had not taken the follow- j ing very bad advice which, is given in j one of the most popular of them: "If I yon are going abroad for a season of' travel, take almost nothing. You can ; never know what you need until the necessity arises. If you anticipate you misiudere. Your American nnffit. will render toil an oddity in England. But do not change there, or yon will be still more singular in Paris. It is as well to start with but one dress besides the one yon wear on the steamer?anything yon have; a black aiapaca or half-worn black silk is very serviceable. "When yon reach Paris circumstances and the season will govern yonr purchases, and this same dress will be almost a necessity for constant railway journeys, rainy-day sightseeing and mule-riding in Switzerland. a?u^^?*&littie care and brushing, fresh linen and a pretty French tie will make it presentable?if not more?at any hotel dinnertable." The foolish man who gave such I advice, though on pleasurebent, must in- j deed have a very frugal mind. He had j no disciple in our vouns: ladv. As 'has I been said, she came on board the ship j well and sensibly clad. She had two ; pretty traveling suits, trim, well cut and : well made. One was of rough, i daik-brown cloth, the other of i black flannel. One was cool and light, ! the other thick and warm. And she j was well provided with shawls, cloaks, j wraps and hoods, as every woman, old ! or young, who crosses the Atlantic in any season ought to be. Altogether she seemed to be one of the specimens of sensible, well-informed wholesome young womanhood most frequently met i with in the smaller American cities. But she lost her head. A dashing young Englishman,of the cherry, frankfaced, open-handed, quick-witted sort, mode love to her, paid her, as our girls say, "ever so much attention," and net the ordinary ship-j board attention, which unfortunately j consists for the most part in a fetch- j ing and earning of cold toast and j sloppy tea, a frequent invitation! in the evc-nings to look at the phos-: phorescent light over the side or at the stern, and possibly toward the end [ of the voyage of an occasional sly squeezing of hands. Not that kind of I attention. But the open honest sort. ! Long walks on the deck in broad day-; light, a dash of cold champagne with "a tempting little lunch, and a straightforward wrapping up, feet included, in comfortable chairs, with warm rug3 and shawls. Of course the girl was pleased. "What sensible girl would not be? The pleasure was natural and sensible, but the heroine of the little incident, the type of a class, it will be remembered, took anything but a sensible way of showing her gratification. She was not content to let well enough alone, and, bring with her father, without her mother, had no one to ftive her sensible advice in the matter, She somehow got into her head the idea ! that she ought to "dress up" for her ad-j mirer. There were a number of preach- j ers on board the ship. Thej organized | an evening meeting to pray for fine i weather. She appeared at it dressed as ! though she had just dropped in from a ! state dinner at some foreign ambassador's. The young Englishman looked astonished, but was still attentive. The ill-natured women sneered and the foolish ones giggled, and if the young i woman, who for the occasion was the \ center of attraction, really had as | much sense as at first she appeared j to have, she must have been de- j cidedfy embarrassed. Still, she learned j nothing by her experience of the! evening. The very next day, it being ; -i a .e 11. " - i_. n * a j. ciear ana cue?sue wic&eu captain ueclared that the persons waited till they ; found the barometer was going steadily i up and then began to pray for good I weather?she appeared on deck in a | complete walking suit of fawn-colored j silk, gloves and bonnet to match, and to attend morning prayer, which had been announced, duly provided with j the most bewitching of lace handker- j chiefs and the daintiest of prayer-books. Coming out of a fashionable Fifth avenne church on a bright spring morning her^costume would have been faultless, i How out of place it was on ship-board need not be dilated upon. It is only neces- j sary to say that her admirer of the day before did not join her in her walk or at ; the scrvice. A number 01 rude people laughed at and criticised her openly. | This *he noticed and went at once, too : suddenly in fact, to her sensibly and plain dark traveling dress, and at the same time to obscurity. The young ! Eoglishman never recovered from the ; effects of her sudden, unexpected and j inappropriate blossoming out. He was ; attentive no longer. For the rest of I the trip he devoted himself assiduously ' to the smoke-room and the thankless i task of getting up pools on the daily j run oftne ship. They were both made, i for the time at least, discontented, if; not no happy, made so by too much j dressing in the wrong place. How to Use Tour Parkins at the Table. The law of the napkin, is but vaguely | ^ _ understood. One cf our esteemed metropolitan contemporaries informs an eager inquirer that it is bad form to ; fold the napkin after dinner; that the j proper thing is to throw it with negli- t gent disregard on the table beside the i plate, as to fold it would be a reflection ; on the host, ?nd imply a familiarity that ; would not befii an invited gcest. But ; the thoughtful reader will agree with j us that this studied disorder is likely to i be a good deal more trying to a fastid- ' ious hostess than an unstudied replacing of the napkin in good order beside the visitor's plate. The proper thing is to fold the fabric with unostentatious care and lay it cd the left of the plate far from the liquids, liqueurs and coffee, ard thus testify to the hostess that her j care in preparing the table has been j nnrrnni atAi"? _ ~r r ? ? The uapkin has played famous parts in the fortunes of men and women. It was one of the points admired in Marie Stuart that, thanks to her exquisite breeding in the court of Marie de Medici, her table was more imposing than the fsli court of her great rival and executioner, Eiizabetb.

The court etiquette I prescribed that the half-folded napkin should lie on the left knee, to be used j in the ie^st obtrusive manner in touching the lips, and the egg was to be merely broken on the larger end with the edge of tho spoon and drained with j its tip.

The Moravian Burying (Ground at Bethlehem. Under the title "Brother Stolz' Beat," the Century contains an interesting paper by H. H., on the old Moravian settle manf of Po i C* U JL. t*. j VUV grave-yard is the public park, and the scene of curious Easter services: This grave-yard is the pleasantest spot in all BethleLum. It lies in the very heart of the town, shaded by great trees, and looking toward the sunset as a grave-yard should. It is simply a field of solid green turf, with wide, well-kept walks, and rows of green mounds, close together, and all of the same size. Here, without distinction or separation, except of sex, the dead Moravians lie, in the order of their dying. A man might happen, thus, to lie at least by the side of his worst emeny?if such a thing could be as enmity under the banner of the "Unitas Fratrum," and, doubtless, they did have their quarrels and dislikes, like the rest of us. One would think, however, that the every-day seeing of this common and undivided final dormitory must have been a great check upon neighborhood squabbles?sometimes, also, a pang of weak human hearts that would like so much befcte. to be buried close to their own belcved J than by the side of people for whom in life they had cared but little. On every side of the mounds lies a small marble slab bearing either a number or an inscription of a name, dates of birth, and of death?nothing more; the harsh word "died" is never seen; always the kinder and truer word "departed," for which there is the authority of the Apostle Paul, as well as of all poets. It is an unconscious tribute to the beauty of the old Moravian faith, and the inalienable truth of their view of death, that the townspeople of Bethlehem find this grave-yard pleasant to sit in; women bring their sewing, children their toys, and spend whole afternoons there in the summer; and lively social cbafc goes on with a sort of home like freedom, which would seem impossible in any public park, but seems inexplicably natural in this sunny old graveyard. Part of this strange atmosphere of good cheer may be owing to the effect of the joyous ceremonies which are held in this grave-yard at sunrise on every Easter morning. It would seem in no wise unlikely that their deep-seated gladness should outlast a shoit twelve months' time, and linger from Easter round to Easter again and again, in a sacred bond of worship and triumphant contentment. If the influence of the North Pennsylvania and the Lehigh Valley railroads, and the institutions and occupations kindred and incidental to the m should ever crowd out or degrade these i beautifnl Easter ceremonies, the loss to the Bethlehem people would be greater than they perhaps dream. Bnt up to this time, the ceremonies have suffered no chance. Lone before daviicht. on i Easter morning, men playing trombones i go throng hthe town. They play a sweet and solemn tans, to which are set the ; words: * Christ is risen from the dead, Thou shalt rise, too, saith my Savior ? Of what should I be afraid ? I with him shall live forever; Can the dead forsake his limb, And not draw me unto him ? " Waked by this music, the Moravians ' gather in their church, where a part of i the Easter Lifany is said. At the pas- ! sage, "Glory be to Him who is the re- ! surrection and the life," the congrega- j tion rises and moves in procession to j the grave-yard. The little children go I first; then the singers and the trombone-! players; then clergymen; then the i women; lastly the men. Slowly singing j hymn?, they walk through the street?, j and enter the grave-jard with a buret of ! music; ut the instant of sunrise, swiftly j and quietly taking their appointed! places on the different paths, the women still separated from the men, they sing and chant the remainder of the Lifc?.ny. Sometimes there are present at this service more than two thousand persons. The Hamming Bird's >~est.

As I sit to-day among the lonely hills, with the memory of the summer which is gone, the lessons written cn monntain, hill and vale, the sermons painted on leaf and flower, come to my heart . again. Alas! how many of these lessons do we lose; if we realized their influence on our frail hearts, we wonld garner and guard them as life's most precious jewels. The cold gray sky bends low over the brown, desolate fields; the everlasting ; hills, stripped of their crowns of verdure, hold*their gray heads tip to meet the caress of the low-bending autnmn sky. Above them, keeping eternal vigilance over the lonely country at their feet, tower -:he grand old mountains. waat a weaitn 01 oeauty tney neia during the summer which is dead! From early morning, when they stood as barriers'between the king of day and his pupils, all through the long, happy hours, when the cloud shadows chased each other over their grim bastions, till the lights from the golden gates above the western hills bathed them in a radiance unspeakably beautiful. Who can look upon these calm, still heights, and not feel the need earth has for them ? Nature has set nothing be some deep meaning; which is not fraught with beautiful solemnity; nothing which, brought intp these careworn lives of ours, will not help us. What a book is this spread out before us! A book whose priceless pages are conned so indifferently; whose rare pictures are unappreciated. In the hour of sorrow, narrow indeed must be the soul of him who can not draw consolation from Nature's many charms. Have the shadows darkened your pathway ? Look ! yonder cloudcapped mountain has been shroude d for long days in deepest gloom.

From the glistening, singing river to the cold, silent stream hidden from our view in its icy sepulchre, she presents to us always the same lessons. Brightly, busily, it goes on to meet its destiny?the boundless sea ; caught upon its way by the icy clutch cf winter?its song hushed? we know from down beneath its crystal surface its work is going on, though to us it is silent and inert. "He also serves, who only stands and waits." Lessons of infinite beauty are written upon all nature. From the silent stars above us to the flowers at our feet ; from the softly murmuring trees, at twilight's holy hour, to the wild moaninz of the restless sea. The tender light of sunset, when only the rare, pale tints remain, has more potent comfort for a sad heart than any words from hnman lips, how wise so'er they be. And so it is throngh all Nature. Not a star in the heavens ; not a flower of earth; not the tiny dewdrops on an emerald blade ; net a leaf that whispers in the breeza; not the faintest ripple of silver stream, bnt is for us. Happy is he who appreciates and appropriates the beneficence of a loving Creator.

A popular actor who makes his home in the sunny South, not long since fenced his orange srove plantations in a novel and effective way. He began by erecting, for each side of his fence, sods three feet in width, divided into five layers, at an angle of seventy-five degrees. The soil from beneath the sod exactly fills the space between the erected sods, leaving a three foot ditch on each side. On the top of this sodand-soil fence, which is four and a-half feet at the base and three feet high, he planted cuttings of the Macartney rose, which art< protected by a panel of boards. This fence, while within the reach of ixuy LLiciii wuu win Mjuuiuct jLLio and work, possesses the advantages of an impassable barrier, of permanence of drainage, of not needing repairs, and of being a most beautiful ornament.

The Barbarous Festival of the Shirte .Saint Saidna c! Hussen at Cairo. A Cairo, Egypt, correspondent of the Philadelphia Times writes : I have just come from what proved to be one of the most grotesquely horrible sights it has ever been my fortune to visit. On learning that the fete of the Shirte Saint Saidna el Hussen wonld be celebrated in the mosque bearing his name, I procured the services of a Greek drago man at the hotel and then bent my I steps in the direction of the Egyptian quarter of Cairo. The Saint Saidna eHussen, whose fete we saw, is considj ered by the Shirte to be as great, if not greater, than the prophet, arid it was owing to this that the coming ceremonies promised to be most interesting. The chanting of the devotees became more distinct, and ws Bee red banners with Arabic characters worked in gold upon them. The crowd gets more and more feverishly excited, bnd shouts of "Allah" are heard resoanding from hoarse throats as the dervishes, now in front of ns, slowly pass; those in the front, naked to the waist, ronnd which is a loosely-bound wliite cloth, call gut: turally, though still musically on Husi sen ; they pass along, keeping time to their shouts with violent beating of their breasts. Their iioarse cries, long, disheveled and matted hair flying out i in a sort of crini-form aureola, coupled J with the metallic ring of their chests, i as they give blow npon blow, is gro1 tesque and almost fiendish in its wierd| ness. Behind them come men, who, : in a circle, made up of about fifty per; sons, puzzle us for a moment as to what j these red demons may be. Something I bright flashes through the air, and the j fervid cry of Hussen ! Hussen ! Saidna Hussen! rises with renewed fanatical zeal in the air of the moonlit night. The flash is caused by a long curved cimeter, which, descending, divides tVin flooV> r.f onntlipr f}prvis!"> mak ing the blood spnrt and trickle over his already gory body, which shines and glances in a mnrderons I way, as the red light of the braziers, ; filled with charcoal, strike 5 npon it. Thirty or fifty of these blood-beclot; ted children of Islam slowly passed by, ; cutting and slashing each other vfith an i ardor, which even the police, strive i though they do, can hardly keep from i being mortal in its effects. They are i chanting "Hussen, Hussen, Saidna Hus! sen," and opening each other's veins ; until their shoulders, arms and loins : are streaming, and again newly stream with bright red blood of artery and bluer blood of veins, their long hair drips and trickles with gore, as violently moving their heads, they hoarsely cry to their prophet, and their white teeth and partially shaved foreheads : gleam and almost scintillate as the blood ; flows from the long red cuts. ' HP l*? "Vr* Kio ri a a m rm or f.h 1 a no f?lr f\i IXUC^U WUAV j^/MV*k V* mad fanatics, and the red blood on their ! bodies, heads and necks, seems darker ; as it flows over ebony skins, making them look like demons in some blood sacrifice of ghonls. The bluish white skins of some, perhaps more northern, Moslem, with Lis forehead shaved half way np to the crown of his head, his big black eyes that bnrn and blaze with almost savage zeal, his white teeth and | curved ncse, stand out in striking op: position to the other red, tawny and | black fanatics in this sanguinarily pious i dance. Blood streams from him as ! from the rest, and his loins-encircling | white cloth is all encarmined and be| smeared with clotting and half-coagulai ted blood. Following this comes a sight at which I we can hardly suppress the cry of angry ! pain and horror that struggles to our i lips. Picture it and think of it, ye i flhrifih'an mothers, who. with vour lit tie yellow-haired darlings at your knee, have no thoughts save those of love and care for the youngsters who prattle at your sides, climb into your laps and ask in their deliciously lisping baby talk for "dcodies" or say ;twant to shee wheels go round." Picture it, I say again, for here is, as well as my feeble i words can describe it, in all its hideousi ly horrid unnature a horse covered with j a flowing white mantle, whose blood! stained folds fall to the ground on eithI erside and gain new stains from the bedj raggling mud of the street, in whose ; saddle is a little boy with half-shaved ! head and tender little eyes, which have i T ?1--. ,1,1 k-r.4 j XiUW UtiUIi QVUiLUg UU LUC WUIIU lUi uulu I five years. His poor little face is hacked and cut, and blood trickles from wounds in his forehead and face down on to the white robe which he wears, staining and spotting it with the blood of this poor infantile victim to the zeal for Islam. In his hand he carries a cimeter, with which he strikes his forehead in a mechanical, impotent sort of a way, the blow being rarely hard enough to cause more than a red mark. This poor little chap has been well trained in the puppet part, which ha must play in this bloody saturnalia. His pale and chubby little cheeks are very, very white, and his eyes have not that sparkling, rich, bright and lovely black that you see in the eyes of Moslem, and Egyptian chil! dren in this town of Cairo. They have ; j lost their light and the brave little man, i | though he must suffer pain from his I j "wound s, ana terror irom ms surrotma-1 | ings, shows no sign save in the pallor ! cf his face and trembling of his cime- j ; ter-holding arm. At the end of this ; iete of blood there will be no loving j mother to take her boy into her arms, : and soothe and calm his poor scattered i senses, and dazed and terrified little | mind?no I She is sitting at home in i the harem, or, perhaps, is even gazing I on the sanguinary pageant from the | street, pluming and congratulating her; self that the child, who is flesh of her i flesh and blood of her blood, has thus I poured out some of herself in testimony j to the glory and truth of the one and only true religion. Behind this blood-stained child come more dervishes, naked to the waist, i though, thank goodness, not bloody. I don't think I could stand that again, i These are armed with bags filled with . bits of iron, each of which may weigh ! irom five to ten pounds. They call | hoareely on Hussen, keeping time to j their sing-song, melodious shouts, by ! blows with the bags on their own and : each other's bodies. A hideously fan! toctio wwr.mnv are thev. and as thev ! ! trim half round, as they go slowly ! chanting, one wonders what it all amounts to, and marvels and is puzzled ! ; at this display of religious zeal. These ; I close the pageant, and the shouting, j i now thoroughly wrought-up, crowd j ; falls in behind and surges along, with j : cries to Allah and the Prophet. We i : wait a little while for the street to clear, and then start homewards with a j dazed feeling, as if we had been passing j ; through the incidents of some horrid i i nightmare. A "Woman's Tact. In Houstono., Ga., not long ago, j a company of young folks met to enjoy I a game of whist.

The party of the first part was rather j j elated than crest-fallen, however, be- j 1 cause the j.urty oi the second part hap- 1 : pened to be as wise as she was witty : : and as rich in purse as she was rare in j : personal attractions. Cards were aban- ; donea; a courier was sent with quick! heels for license, a judge was. summon- J I ed as witness; a clergyman was hauled j from his study; and with a quickness | that almost took the bride's breath | | away, she found herself a wife. As the ' | betrothal took place ?<x 10 o'clock and 1 the marriage at 11, one hour only was i consumed.

True goodness, is like the glow-worm it shines most when no eyes save those oi neaven are upon it. Envy is a vice which keeps no holiday, but is always in the wheel, and working its own disquit. Good manners is an art of making those people easy with whom we converse; whoever makes the fewest per ! sons weary is the best-bred man in company. Beware what yon say of others, because yon only reveal yourself thereby. A man doesn't think to look behind the door unless he has sometimes stood there himself. There are moments when our passions speak and decide for us and we seem to Btand by iind wonder. They carry in them an inspiration of crime, and tbat in one instant does the work of long premeditation. j.i an imposition ce put upon you abide your tine; and, when the favorable moment errives, strike with all your power, but l it reason guide the blow, for, as the iron, struck at the right moment, weld8 readily, so with your enemy ?your blow must be timely and powerful to be effective. (limbing Eels. While the ancient Scots looked upon the eel as a /repulsive creature, calling it a poisonous snake in disguise, it was held in high repute among tho Egyptians, being placed among their gods, and known as the goddess of pleasure, or white-armed goddess, on account of j the snow-whiteness of its flesh. "With the Greeks, too, it was hdd in great! reverence, being known as the "silent j walker." On a dangerous, rocky barrier, seventy feet high, which, forms the waterfall of the Newton Don, on the river Eden, in Scotland, thousands of wriggling eels, from two to three inches in length, were recently discovered clinging to the moss on the rocks, and in twenty-four hours from the time they first were observed, they had successfully scaled the apparently difficult wall,and, were swimming actively away in the shallow Witer to the other side. They have been known to climb the falls of Trollhattan, on the river Wenern, in Sweden, and crawl overland to j the sea, miles away. They have been found in shallow pools far inland, at | great distance from rivers. At the locks at Teddington, England, myriads of young eels ascend the flood-gates. In the younger eels, the vitality is not sufficient to enable them to endure the task, and they die clinging to the gates, their dead bodies forming a sort of road over which the others pass in safety. They will climb trees, and drop down into the water from the extreme end of the slender twigs. Their migratory habits lead them to many astonishing undertakings, such as traveling at night overland from one river to another, stopping on the way to recuperate their energy by burying themselves in damp ground or mud-holes. The eel, as is well known, is very tenacious of life, and can live a long time out of water. It is enabled ?o keep its gills moi3t oy a most wonderful form of mechanism. When it is out of water, the skin on air and water reach tiie gilis proper, and it is by this means that it can travel great distances across the country, instinctively seeking out places of moisture, where it lies hidden from the raye of the sun during the dav. Funeral or the First President Who Died in Office. During the illness of President Harrison there were no telegraphic bulletins; the telegraph then was but a philosophic experiment; live years wen) yet to pass before the first practical wire should be laid. Railroads wero but ten yejirs old; such a trip as was planned and executed for Garfield would have been, iu Harrison's time, wholly impossible. Mail communication was not one-third what it now is. There were but twenty-six States. The i nation scarcely exceeded seventeen mil-! lion*. Yet the sorrow was :is sincere j and the tokens as earnest and cordial' as those that are now witnessed. "The shock to the country was heightened1 by the fact that Harrison was the first President who had died in office. The wheels of government had revolved for fifty years without this check. The i-iar>r\lo mara nnni-Anarprl for the event. and were uncertain?nay, anxious?as to its consequences. They had not the assurance we enjoy that the political system would bear the strain. As now, so then, everywhere were seen demonstrations of the national grief. In "Washington city nearly every building boro tokens; the public buildings were shrouded, the elegant dwellings W6re heavily draped?even the lowliest abodes bore some inexpensive badges. Business was suspended. The pageant was, for that era, very ceremonious. The procession was two miles in length, and comprised the United States troops stationed in and near Washington, with many regiments from other cities the general command of Winfield Scott, besides numerous civic societies and a vast body of civilians. It wasjnarshE.led by officers in mourn- j ing. The re mama 01 tne aeceasea President wers laid temporarily in the congressional burying-ground, the burial service of: the Episcopal church being read by Rev. Mr. Hawley, and military salufes fired. The car on which the co:Sn was borne from the cemetery is described in contemporaneous accounts as a splendid one, decorated with black plumes and drawn by six vhite horses. In July following the remains were transferred to their permanent resting-place near North Bend, upon ?. beautiful knoll rising two hundred ftjei above the Ohio river. The Great Salt Lake.

KING OF THF CAW I "RATS tin Interview With tbe Famous Chief Siban, Kins of the Cannibal Dyaks. The following is an. extract from a writer's acconnt of the bead-hunters of Borneo: Having interviewed this priestess, I had the honor of an introduction to the famous, or infamous, chief of the cannibal Dyaks, Sibau Mobang. He came into my house one day, accompanied by his suite of two women and three men, and I hardly know whether host or visitor felt the more uncomfortable. His personal appearance bore out the idea that I had formed of him by the reports I had heard of his ferocity and the depravity Df his nature ; but I was hardly prepared to see such an utter incarnation of ill that is most repulsive and horrible in the human form. As he entered my floating habitation he assumed a sort of air of hesitaiicn, almost amounting to trembling fear, which added to, rather than detracted from, the feeling of repulsion with which I viewed him. He stood for a moment or two, neither moving or speaking, watched me narrowly when I pretended not to be looking at him, and then sat down quietly a conple of yards from my feet. He is a man apparently about fifty years of age, of yellowish brown color, and a rather sickly complexion. His eyes have a wild animal expression, and around them are dark lines, like shadows of crime. He is continually blinking his eyes, never letting them meet those of his interlocutor, as if his conscience did not allow him to look anyone straight in th-j face. His face is perfectly emaciated, every feature shrunken and distorted. The absence of teeth in the gu-ns gives the bones an extra prominence. A few stiff black hairs for a moustache, and a few straggling ones on his chin, add to the weird look ; his ears hang down low, pierced with large holes two inches in length. His right arm, on which he wears a tin Draceiec, as paraiyzea, ana lie is uDable to open the right hand without the assistance of his left, lifting each finger separately, and closing them again with little less difficulty. For this reason he wears his mandan on his right side, and the many victims that have fallen to this bloodthirsty wretch during the last few years he has decapitated left-handed. At that very time, as he sat conversing with me through my interpreter, and I sketched his portrait, he had fresh upon his head ihe blood of no less than seventy victims, men, women and children, whom he and his followers bad just slaughtered, and whose hands and brains he had eaten. He told me his people did not eat human meat every day?that was a feast reserved for head-hunting expeditions ; at other times their food consisted cf toe riesn ot various animais ana Diras ?rice and -wild fruits. For a whole year, however, they had no rice, owing to the failure of the crops. When I heard this I told Kichil to bring forward a large kettle of rice which was boiling, and to place it before my guests, together witn some salt. The eagerness with which they ate the rice, rolling it first between their bands so as to form solid rolls, bore out the statement that they had lately been kept on very "short commons1' indeed. The whole time Le sat in my room Sibau. Mobang seemed very grave, and kept incessantly turning his head away from me, so that it was not difficult to get a portrait of him in profile. His grim visage, his still more grim manner made me wonder whether he could ever laugh. Tiie idea seemed horribly ludicrous ; I tried, however, to get a smile on his countenance, but without success until, when I had finished my sketch, I handed it to him to examine. He scrutinized it closely, then looked at me for the first time full in the face, and actually smiled, a ghastly, grim smile, horribly suggestive of nightmare. He made signs that he wished to keep the sketch, but I made him understand that I could not let him have it. A Romantic Story. Among the passengers on the Sound steamer Narragansett. at the time of the wreck two years ago, was JobnG. Reilly, a young Cincinnatian. Reilly's escape was narrow, for he was in the water almost three hours and had become almost helpless from exhaustion, when some boatmen picked him from his spar. He lost all the personal effects that were with him, including a portfolio, which he prized highly because it was full of sketches made in various parts of New England. Several months after his return to Cincinnati the young man was surprised and quite as much delighted to receive at the hands of a brother, who lives at Louisville, the seastained but otherwise uninjured sketch-book. It had been picked tip on the Sonnd shore by a vonng woman of Noank, who at first had thought to keep the pretty pictures, but who had decided to send them to the only address written upon the portfolio, because they might be the means of indicating*the fate of some unknown passenger. These circumstances wero so charmingly set forth, in such a dainty hand, and with such sympathetic words, that Reilly right away wrote to the young woman a most earnest expression of thanks. Of course he offered to send the pictures to her, and, by the time she had replied that she would like to have them, a friendly correspondence was well under way. The exchange of portraits, the postal introduction to mutual friends in Cincinnati and New York, the gradual strengthening of sentences on the one part and growth of shyness on the other, indicated plainly to Dan Cupid that such indeed was the case. But the romance deepens. About a year ago the fair lass of Noank seemed to have cut the silver thread. Reilly passed a year in despondence. Lately one of his friends approached him with an explanation. The lover had given the friend a letter to mail to Noank, and the friend had just discovered it in a cast-away coat of last winter. The mysiery thus removed, correspondenee was resumed, and at last accounts Reilly was packing his satchel for an important journey to the East. A Cheap and Simple Ice-Honse. The cost of putting up a supply of ice will be more than saved every peaeon in the saving of meat and vegetables, to say nothing of the luxury of cold milk for the table and a dish of butter -which does not sngge.-t oil. Butter making is so much more profitable, too, when the milk can be cooled rapidly, as nothing but ice will cool it. Our ice-house was a cheap experiment. We had a small building wnich was used for storing spades, hoes and other small implements. It was merely a frame covered with clapboards. The floor was taken out of a part of tliis building, and the sides built up from the ground with plank, making a deep bin. The ground was covered with rough planks, which were in turn covered to the depth of six or eight inches with dry sawdust. The cakes of ice were laid in layers, with a foot between the ice and the sides of the building. Care.^vas taken to fill the interstice? T i-li /-tr> l?fto TT71 f Vl which was made solid by pouring water over it. When finished, the ice was a solid mass. The space between the ice and the walls was filled with sawdust, crowded down very hard, and about ten inches of sawdust was packed down nard over the top. The ice kept wel.;, and, with the exception oi' one year, when ice could not be obtained here, it has been used every season for ten years, and has never failed us yet. If the drainage itj perfect, and the ventilation good over the ice, it is sure to keep as long as needed. Care must be taken, however, to keep the sawdust firm over the top, and, as the ice is taken out and the sawdust from the sides comes down, it must be removed so that it may not become too thick over the top. ~ '?

Mr. Samuel C | 2iyce resides at SOS Marshall street, and j holds the responsible position of journal]' clerk in the Pennsylvania Legislature, at! Harrisburg. While Mr. Nyce and family J were in the country recently, his boy, aged i three years, fell and broke his leg. He re | covered, but a very troublesome stiffness I set in and be could scarcely use the leg. j The injured limb was rubbed several times j with St. Jacobs Oil, and the stiffness was ! so much reduced that the boy was able to [ use his leg freely. Dr. Knipe said it was the use of St. Jacobs Oil that cured the stiffness Mr. Nyce himself used the Great German Remedy for toothache with gocd effect, and also for sprain and pains of rheumatic nature, and always with good effect. Mrs. Nyce also says she thinks the Oil is a splendid thing, and she always keeps it on hand. Plants, or any living portion of them snch as branches, roots or bulbs, cannot be sent by mail to Italy.

Vegetine. Kidney Complaints. DISEASE OF THE KID.VEYS. The symptoms of an acute attack of inflammation of the kidneys are as follows: Fever, pain in the small of the back, and thence shooting downward; numbness of the thigh, vomiting. usually at first a deep red color of the urine, which becomes pale and colorless as the disease increases, and is discharged very often with pain and difficulty: costiveness, and some degree of colic. In chronic diseases of the kidneys the symptoms are pain in the back and limbs, dryness of the skin, frequent urinations (especially at night), general dropsy, hcadache, dizziness of sight, indigestion and palpitation of the heart, gradual loss of strength, paleness and puffiness of the face, cough and shortness of breath. In diseases of the kidneys the Vegeiise gives immediate relief. It has never failed to cure when it is taken regularly and directions followed. In many cases it may take several bottles, especially cases of long standing. It acts directly upon the secretions, cleansing and strengthening, removing all obstructions and ,'mpurities. A great many can testify to cases of long standing having been perfectly cured by the Vegetixe, even after trying many of the known remedies which are said to be expressly for this disease.

On the same beach may -J vtWV</<v % found oar crnstacean edible ?the; crab?whose chief Gr^^SaSSapSa**' apology for exists ing at all seems tc to be its ability to* furnish a delect*bter meal to fortunate* bipeds. The crab being covered with a hard, impenetrable shell, it Is not easy to molest or make him afraid; therefore he wages war in his watery world unceasingly when once attacked. Although tiny, he cannot be said to be devoidof understanding, having ten legs to assist his locomotion; this, however, avails him little, for, when conquered, he never turns his back to his enemy, starting t Into a bold run, but, like many politicians during ^ election time, slips off sideways. There comes & time in the life or this pugnacious fellow when the I: years bring him more bone and muscle than he * can dispose of with comfort, and he finds him' selfinavejy tight place: his shoes pinch him and he begins to realize the practicability of applying to Dame Nature for more room or a hoftsein proportion to his increasing size. Nattm? slowly responds to the call; but in her own gocx.1 time provides a new home, bo that the enterprising little creature does not wander about homeless, but is provided for suitably, as was the old sailor, who dropped his rheumatism and crabbedness when he applied the Great German Eemedy, St. Jacobs Oil. This last, however, may sound rather fishy to the skeptical reader, and to such we would, reply in language i?v y^.^. to be misunderstood?in words illustrating facts that even the waves of time cannot wash away or scaly epithets affect. St. Jacobs Oil to-day has rendered the lives and homes of myriads of sufferers brighter than ever the electric light can. which people pause to admire along the Tray. Still more happily served than the old sailor was an invalid, who wrote thus concerning his case: "CROOKED HAERTEL.'r Accept a thousand thanks for that "goldeir remedy." i suffered for many years with rheumatic pain in my limbs. My legs were drawn together, and people called mc Crooked HaerteL" i used St. Jacobs Oil and was cured, and now feel so well that I think I could dance, as in my young days.
