Very few people do, so iii this respect I am neither better nor worse than my neigh bora. No, I certainly did cot marry for lovo; I believe I married Mr. Cartwright i simply because ho asked me. This was how it hoppeno '. He was the rector of Doveton, and wo lived at the Mauor House, which was about ten j minutes' walk from the church and rec- j tory. We had daily service at Doveton, and I nearly always attended it, and it came to pass that Mr. Cartwright in variably walked home with me. It was n matter of custom now, and I thought nothing of it; it pleased him, and on the whole it was rather pleasant to me also. . I must confess, however, I was rather t surprised wfceu, one morning as we got i to the avenue which led up to the Manor House, Mr. C-irtwright asked me to be his wife. I have never been able to find out why I said yes, but I did; perhaps I thought it a pity to throw away so ' much love; perhaps it was because he J. T WUti 5U icnnnv iu cuiucsi iuui x u?uvu not refuse him; perhaps I feared his pale face, and liin low, pleading voice j would ever haunt me if I rejected his love; or, perhaps, it was becaiu e he : only asked mo to marry him?he did not ask mo if I loved iiim, for I think he guessed I did not; perhaps it was all these reasons put together, but anyhow I said yes, and in due time we were married. I ought to have been very happy, for he was a most devoted husband, but T 1 was not, and though I did not notice it then, I know now that for the first six months after our marriage ho was not happy either. It was all my fault?I either would not or could not love him; I accepted all his devotion to mo as a matter of course, but I made no effort to return it; and I am sure he had found out that he had made a mistake iu marrying a woman who did not love hitn. One morning, about six mouths after our marriage, he told me at breakfast that he intended leaving me aloue for a few weeks, to stay with his mother, who was not very well. Fe watched the i effect of this announcement on me, but though I was really displeased, I con- ' cealed my annoyance, and asked carelessly when he would start. He replied, the next day if I had no , objection, and so it was settled. Ho was more affectionate than usual that day, and I was colder than ever; I only once alluded to his journey, and , that was to ask if I might have my sister Maud to ?>tny while he was goiie. The next morning I was anxious to avoid a formal parting, so I drove to the station with him. As the train moved off, I remembered this was our first parting since our marriage, and I wished I had not been eo cold. When I got home the house looked so \ dreary and empty and there was no one to meet me; presently one of the ser- J vants came for the shawls, and with her j Nero, Mr. Cartwright's retriever, which, when he saw I was alone, set up a howl for hia*master. I patted him and tried to comfort him, feeling rebnked by his grief, as he followed me, whining, into the honse. Every room seemed empty, and each spoke of the absent master. At j last I wandered into his study, where he spent his mornings and liked me to sit and work; and now I remembered how ; often I had excused myself, saying I preferred my drawing-room, and this reflection did not add to my happiness. j There was a photograph of me standing on his writing-table, and another on the chimney-piece; on the walls hung two or three of my drawings, which he . had begged of me when we were en- i S^..gaged: indeed, the room was full of littr&HKmembrances of me; I opened a booklhfci^ven him, and in it was his | name in my handwriting, and under- j neath in his own, " From my darling wife." I laid it down with a sigh, as 11 thought how carefully he treusured everything I had ever Riven him, und how little care I took of all bis gifts to ! * mo. _ ! Everything I attempted, everything 11 looked at reminded me of his good * ness to me and of my coldness and in- 1 gratitude to him. At last I went to bed, ; where, after working myself into a fever | J sr.* of anxiety lest he should not have , reached the end of his journey in safety, ': I at length cried myself to sleep. The next morning I went down to : breakfast with a heavy heart, for I knew 1 > I could not hear from him till the next j day: it seemed so strange to breakf??* 1 lone, and Nero appeared to think so, too, tor he was unhappy, sniffing round : his master's chair in the most melan- ' choly manner. My plate, for the first time since my : marriage, was empty, as I sat down to 1 breaKTCst, for my husband, who was an j . early riser, always had a little bouquet ;' t} greet mo with every morning; fre- j I qnently I forgot all about it, and left it; i to be put into water by the servant; this J morning I would have treasured v, most ' carefully if he had gathered it. After breakfast I determined to rouse ' myself and go and visit some of the poor people in the village, so I filled my bas- j: ket with some little delicacies for the j1 sick and set out. ; Wherever I went it was tlio same j story, all held forth on my husband's j gx>dness and kindness, for "all had been 1 . helped by him in some way or other, aad all loved and respected him. As I listened with burniug cheeks I felt as if 1 ' * I was the only person on earth who hud treated him with cruel ingratitude, and [ was the very person whom he most loved and cherished. At last 1 went horao, tired and sick at lu art, but thero was no one to notice I whs p.?.le and worn-out, no one to get me - wine or sonp to revive mo, no one to make me lie do*-n and rest, as he would have done had ho been there. Oh, how * I missed him I What a fo<.i I had been! VY lU'Ty CYC!' it ^ uuiuu vcu <iuu vuiu'.i for as I had been ? Was thero ever a friend so ungrateful ? Oh ! why had I ever let him leave me ? I was euro he never would coino buck. Why had he gone away ? And confidence answered, "Yon drove him; he gave you all he hnd to give, and in return you gave him nothing but cold looks and unkind words; and so he left you to peek love anu sympathy from his mother." Tiiis tLonght almost maddened me. In fancy I saw her sitting in my place by his side, loving and caressing him, as I had the beet right to love and caress him. I pictured her receiving tenderly ih? little loving acts I had received so coldly, end now I was seized with a jealous anger against her. I mentally | accused her of estranging my husband from me, and of trying to win his love ! from me, as though his heart was not large enough for both of us. When Maud arrived in the afternoou, I treated her to a long tirade of abuse i against mothers-in-law in general, and ray own in particular, and I vented all the ?mg< r I really folt against myself on i the innocent Mrs. Cartwright. " U by, Nelly,"said Mand, "I thought j yon liked Mrs. Cartwright so mnch, and j thought her so nice, that you even wanted her to live with yon, only your husband, very properly, as mamma says, objected." "So I did,'* I answered; "but I did not know then she would ever entice my h unhand away from me in this way, or, of course, I should never have liked her." "'Really, Nell, von are very hard on the poor woman; for, as I understand, Mr. Cartwright went to her on his own j1 free will, because she was not well, and lie thought his company would do hei good," said Maud. " Nonsense; I am sure he would nevei have left mo alono, unless she had put him up to it," I replied, rather crossly. "The truth is, Nelly, you are sc much in love with your husband thai you are jealous oven of his mother; and are making yourself miserable about nothing. Why, Mr. C irtwright will b( back iu a fortnight, and I dare say yoc will get a letter from him every day; sc cheer up, and let us go for a drive,' said Maud. I agreed tothisplau, ami giving Maud the reins, I lay back and thought of liei words. Was she right after all ? Was ] jealous ? Was J rcaliy, as Maud said, it love with my husband ? Had I onlj found it out now I was deprived of hit company ? Was this the reason that ] con 11 do nothing but inwardly rop^oacli myself for my conduct to him ? And the longer I thought, the more convinced 1 became that Maud was right, that I was jealous and that I was in love, as she called it. This knowledge did not make me happier, for I no sooner knew I loved him flinn T lr?n ota/1 fn t^ll liir.l bo nnil mjlfef up, as far as I could, for all inv formei cruelty, for I could call my couduct bj no milder word. I papsed a sleepiest night, and as I lay awake I composed various letters of confession, which I vesolved to send the following day; Iml when morning came, my prido stepped in, and I began to feel it would be impossible to write, and I settled I musl wait till nvy husband came homo am] theu tell him how his absenco had altered me. I got up early and walked out to meei the postman, so anxious was I to get t letter from him; it was the first I had ever received from bin sinco our mar liage, and no girl was i ver so anxious for or so pleased with her llr&t love-lettei as I was over this. It was a long letter, full of loving messages and terms of endearment, all of which cut me to the heart, for thej sounded like so many reproaches; it reality, I think thero was a tone of gentle reproach throughout tho letter. H< gave me an account of hiB journey and of bis mother's health, begged me tc write to him a few lines every day, bul he said not a word about returning. I spent the morning in answering it, much to Maud's amusement, who, ol course, thought I was pouring out volumes of love and complaints of my tem porary widowhood; alter tearing up about a dozen sheets of paper. I at lasl sent a short note, cool and with no allusions to my misery. The more I tried, the more impossible I found it to write any expressions of love or penitence, though I was hungering to do so. For a whole week I went on this way, suffering more actutely every dav, and every day receiving long, loving letters from Mr. Cartwright, and writing short, cold answers. I lost my appetite, I could not sleep at night, and tlio torture I was enduring made me look so ill that Maud becamc frightened, and declared she would write and summon my husband home, and tell him I was pining away for him. I forbade her doing this so sternly that she dared not disobey me, for I was determined he should never hear from any lips but mine that at last his heart's desire was attained, for I loved him. At last, when he had been away ten days, I could bear it no longer, for 1 felt I should have brain fever if I went on in this way, so I determined to go to Melton, where Mrs. Cartwright lived, and see my husband. I came to this decision one night, and went into Maud's room early iu the morning to tell her of my intention. I expected she would laugh at mo, but I think she guessed something was wrong, for she seemed glad to^hear it and helped me to pack a few things and set off in time to catch the morning train. It was three hours' journey. They seemed three years to me, for the nearer I got to my husband the more impatient I was to see him. At last we got to Melton, a largish town. Of course, as I was not expected, there was no one to moot, mn sn T tnnlf n flv to Mrs. Olirt ^right's house, -where I arrived about three o'clock. I learned afterwards that Audrew was with bis mother in the drawing-room when I drove up, but thinking I was only a visitor, ho escaped into another room, eo I found my mother-in-law alone. By her side was some of my husband's socks which she was darning, socke which I had handed over to servants to mend, and which I now longed to snatcb away from his mother. His desk stood open, a letter to me which he was writing lying on it. The servant announced mo as Mrs. Andrews, my voice failing as I gave my name, so that Mrs. Cartwright held up her hands in astonishment when she saw who it was. "My dear! Nelly! Has anything happened? How ill you look! "What is it?" she exclaimed. "I want my husband," I gasped, sinking on to the chair, for I thought I shonld have fallen. Without another word Mrs. Caitwriglit leit tlie room; l feel sure now she guessed all about it, and I can never thank her enough for forbearing (to worry me with questions as to what I had come for. In another minute I heard his step outside the door, and then he came in. "Nelly, my love?my darling! what is it?" lie cried as I rushed into his outstretched arm, and hid my face on his breast, sobbing bitterly. For some moments I could not speak; at last I recovered myself enough to sob out: "Oh, Andrew, my love! my xlear love! can you over forgive me? I came to ask 7on, and to tell you I can't live without jrou." I would have said more, but his kisses stopped my mouth, and when at length he let me go there were other tears upon my cheeks betide my own. That was the happiest hour of my life, in spite of my tears: aud before my mother-in-law again joined us. which she discreetly avoided doing till dinnertime, I had poured out all I lmd to tell into my husband's ear; aud I had learned from him that he had left me to try what effect his absence would have on me; for he had felt for some time that tny pride was the groat barrier he had to overcome to win my love. He had judged right. Ho wan too generous to tell how much he had suffered from my indifforence, but I know it must have grieved him terribly. Ho is a different man now, lie looks so happy, and I know he would not chauge places with any oue on earth. We went back to the rectory the next day, but we could not persuade Mrs. Cartwright to come with us; she said we wero best alone, and I think she was right. Sei.utor Blaine on Farnwrs* Influence.

In the last number of Cassell's Mai ! zine is an interesting article on 1 , above subject, from which some val '. ble hints might be obtained for practi ! ; use in this country. A portion of I [ article is given below. Penny banks were introduced ii i Englaud in 1857, the first being oper , at Greenock, when 5,000 deposit availed themselves of its advantages ' the first year. From year to year per . ; bnriks have been on the increase, t r from recent statistics it has been sho ' that at the present time progress is every way satisfactory. One of 1 ? | most pleasing features in connect - with the movement is that so many " these banks avail themselves of the ( vantages offered by the postoffico s . iugs bauk as regards the gratuiti ' j supply of books and information, ? ; the investment of their funds with , government, thu6 obtaining a guar tee for their absolute security. T ' i last report of the postmaster-genei | published in July, 1877, gives the J . i lowing particulars: During 1876 : ' . thority was given for 172 penny bni ; in various parts of the United Kingd I 1 to iuvest their funds in tho postofl ' i savings bank, and since that time 1 i progress has been made even more I i markable, 117 penny banks having b< j authorized during the quarter end: ' j 31st March, 1877, exceeding by for I one tho number during tlio correspoi ! ing quarter in 1870. Of these 289 p : ny banks, eighteen were in boi 1 schools, twenty in Sunday schools s ' j thirty in other schools, one being ii I ] poor law union school, under the mi , agement of the master and chaplain " | the workhouse. Farthing deposits i J | received from these pauper childr : j and as much as ?4 18s was invested t | behalf of the penny bank between A[ and December, 1876. \ j In various parts of tho country en ' | getic measures have been taken II certain societies to bring the subject I '! fore the people: thus the Oxfordsh ? ; Provident Kuowledgo Society has b< 1: employing agents for the purpose ' I establishing penny banks in every ^ t j Inge, school, factory and workshop , the county, whore they do not aires i exist, and has been highly successful ' i its operations; and one good feature " i that all tho penny banks organized ' ' this society are in connection with 1 [ , Post Office' Savings Banks, and are i ' der the management of local truste ' Another notable instance is that of 1 1 Liverpool Penny Savings Bank Assoc 1 tion, formed to sustain and extend i > system ef penny banks in and arou Liverpool, and to promote their effici< j cy and good management. In the 1 report for tho year ending 20th of I 1 vember, 1877, it was shown that seventy-four banks organized by t association there had been 295,800 tra ' actions during the year, ?14,931, 1 ' 10.1 had been deposited, ?9,401 12a 1 withdrawn, and ?4,063 13s transferi ' to the Liverpool SaviDg Bank in the ( ! po3itors own names. There was at I end of the year an aggregate balance 1 ! ?1,844 9s Id due to 22,759 depositors ;; All this is satisfactory, more especia as the returns show a steady increase ' j the business, and prove that habits thrift are becoming permanent. , j One interesting feature in the sche; ; is that the promoters have secured i ; co-operation of the press, and two lo newspapers publish the weekly retui of the association, anil so keep the sr ject steadily before the public. ; i Rapid as'has been the progress of I ! penny-bank movement in England, it ; far behind France and Belgium. ; both those countries school banks hf been instituted with much greater si { cess than has hitherto crowned the tempt made in England, and it is to i I development of these school banks tl ! the marveilous increase in the to ! amount deposited in savings banks g< j orally is to be attributed. In Frai 1; the movement is of very recent orig , nevertheless, up to December, 18 1 1 penny banks had been intioduced ii ' fifty-three out of eighty-two depo 1 j ments, 3200 school banks were esti : liehed, and no fewer than 230,000 sch 1; ars had deposited in excess of the to 1 j limit, and had transferred their accou 1; to ordinary savings banks. Time -would fail to tell of the peni j bank movement in Belgium, and esj ! cially of that branch of it relating I 1 school banks, and it is enough for t II present purpose to quote just a few 1 ! ur^s -which speak for themselves. C 1 15,392 children in the schools 1 Ghent, 13,032 aro depositors, and th ! savings amount to ?18,512. ' In Belgium an admirable plan adopted.

The Order of the Garter, f The Order of the Garter, with which ^"5 Earl Beaconsfield and Lord Salisbury have been invested by the Qaeen of ja. Great Britain, is one of the oldest and tho i most famous of the orders of knighthood uft. that remain in Europe. The exact date cal of its foundation is not known. One the authority ascribes it to 1192, when in a battle with the Saracens on St. George's ato Day, Richard Cceur de Lion commanded ed twenty-six of his knights to wear ors around their legs thongs of blue leather. in But most writers agree that it dates my from Edward III., though the preciso iuj date is in dispute, Froissart giving 1344, wn and Stow 1350. General tournaments iu in that time were held at Windsor. At the one of them, Rays the familiar story, the ?? rirmntncn nf Snlishnrv Ipf, fall lifip 0firtfir ion " ? j 0 of when dancing with the king, and the ad- king picking it up, tied it round his leg. ay. There were smiles from the company ->ufl nnd jealous glances from the queen, ind j noticing which Edwnrd restored the the garter to the countess, saying "Honi soit an-I qui vial y pcnsc(Evil to him who ?he ! evil thinks) and added that those who al, j smiled would shortly see the garter adioll . vanced to such honor and renown as to au. account themselves happy to wear it. jks ' There have been writers to ridicule this om I story, but none to suggest a more prob5ce able theory. The order was founded in the honor of the Holy Trinity, the Virgin re. Mary, St. Eilward the Confessor, and jon St. George, the latter of whom had then ing becomc the guardian Baint of Eugland, ty. and was considered the special patron ad- of the order. It has always borne the en- title of "The Order of St. George'' as ird ! well as of "The Garter." iud i The original dress of knights was a x a j blue mantel tunic and capuchin, eman. ; broiilereJ with garters of gold and blue of ! eilk, the lrgest of which was worn on are ' the left shoulder of the mantle. Benry eD) ! VIII. changed it, as did Charles II. after on ! him, bat Charles for the last time. As )ril ! now used, it consists of a dark blue j velvet garter, edged with gold, and er- ' bearing the motto in letters of gold, and by i worn below the knee on the left leg; a be- j mantle of blue velvet, lined with white ire taffeta; a hood of criniRon velvet; a sur;en i coat also of crimson velvet, and lined 1 with white taffeta: a hat of black velvet, ril-1 lined with tafleta, and bearing a plnme in > of oatrich and heron feathers, fastened uly ; by a band of diamonds. The collar is in of gold, being composed of twenty-six is pieces, each in the form of a garter* and by j has appended to it a figure of St. George the j on horseback. A lesser St. George is n> ; enamelled on gold and set with diaes. : monds, being suspended over the left the shoulder by a dark blue ribbon. The ;ia- j star has eight points, and is of silver, the haying the cross of St. George in the ,nd ; centro and being embroidered on the en-' left breast. ast | Of the royal family, beside the Queen fo- ! and Priuce of Wales, who belong to the in | order, there are the Dukes of Edinburgh, his Connaught and Cambridge, and Prince us- Leopold ; of foreign sovereigns, the Is, j kings of Italy, Portugal, Denmark, Bel5d ! giuin and the Hellenes, and emperors ed ! of Germany, Austria. Russia and Brazil, 3o- j beside the Shah of Persia; of titled ;he j persons from abroad, the dukes of Saxo of j Meiningen, Brunswick and Saxo Coburg | Gotha, the grand dukes of Mecklenburglly : Strelitz and Hesse Darmstadt, (Louis in IV.,) the crown prince of Germany, and of tbe princes Christian of Holstein and William of Prussia. me Among the English nobility who have he i been invested with the orJor are Earls cal !

Persons passing through Broadway late at night may have often seen a J diminutive figure, -with a broom a yard { taller than himself, engaged with the t night gang in cleaning the street. The ? little sweeper's name is John Boilan, and he lives at number 538 East Elev- ( j enth street. Next to " Tom Thumb" } I or Commodore Nutt, "Little Johnny," j j as ho is called, is perhaps the smallest \ man in this conntry. Jie lives in u i small, dark, rear room of a big tene- f meut house. An old woman who occn- 5 pies an adjoining room waB asked if she knew him. ] "Know Johnny!" was the reply; I " bless me! I have known Johnny for j thirty year. Why, Johnny is next to ] I Tom Turn ; you've heard tell of Tom 1 ! Turn?" The old woman went on to re- J : late numerous anecdotes about the small- J j est man in New York, when he appeared , | in person. He came up the steps and t walked briskly into the room. He is j i not more than three feet tall, but very ' I broad for his size. His head and neck f i are out of proportion to the rest of his | body, being as large a? those of a full c i grown man. Ho was reticent at first, j but gradually became more communi- i I cative. Ho said he was forty-six years ' I old, and was born at Ballyhochie, I County Cavau, Ireland. Thero he lived j : until lie waa twenty-one years old. In . i Hia nlil nmintrv .Tohnnv bad a small hoe , ! and a spade made for him, and content! edly raised potatoes nnt.il his parents : died and hisbrothers and sisters came to ' America. j Deserted by all his relatives, Johnny felt lonesome, and when the ship which j took them nwav returned, he went to the j captain and told him he was going to | America also. The captain advised him | o stay in County Cavan, but his reBOi lution was taken, and he came to New J York. His small stature was a sore trial | to him at first. He was sensitive on the [ subject, and when he ventured into the streets a large crowd would follow him, i and their curiosity so annoyed him that in sheer desperation he at last made his i way to his friend the captain and toldhim j he wanted to go back to Ireland. The i captain soothed his wounded feelings 1 and told him that when once he became j known persons would stop annoying him. So he went back and stolidly took | no notice of the attention he attracted. Ho has lived in New York nearly twentyj five years, and for eight years has boen i employed on the street-cleaning force at i full pay. "I can sweep two piles to any ' of the others' one," he said sturdily, i straightening his little shoulders. Gentlemen sometimes offer him money, but I he refuses all alms. P. T. Barnum once offered him a large sum to exhibit him, i but the proposal was refused. ? New i York Tribune. ^ Imprisoned in Ilis Own Tomb. About fifteen years ago (says a New i I York paper) the late William Niblo, of ! Niblo's Garden, built a handsome tomb ' in Greenwood Cemetery, He expend ed a great deal of money upon it, and it j i naturally became one of the attractions , j of that pensive resort. Among the ec- i centricities of the veteran manager was 1 . that of visiting this tomb on sultry | Sunday afternoons, and sitting there, ' novel in hand, until the shadowing of '1 -1 1 ' ?" /I' : IU0 grtuiu pum ueiura iuo uuui Duum-u ' Lira that evening was near. One day j ' Mr. Niblo passed through tlio lodge- ] I gate as usual, saluted the attendant in < his customary courtly stylo, end wander- ' I ed away. That night Mr. Niblo did not return to his home in this city. Nothing was i j thought of it as he had such a number ( ! of friends whom he might visit and re- 1 | main until late, but when the morning \ | showed the room unoccupied and she I bed undisturbed, then alarm seized the I household. Search was made ; the j clubs, the places of public j-esort, the 1 j theaters?all were visited, ne tiaci not J been there the night previous. Then j one remembered the visits to the Green- j wood tomb. I When those who were searching for William Niblo reached the gate of the i cemetery they were met by the man in | charge. He remembered that Mr. j I Niblo had been there ho many days be' fore that it had become a custom. , ; What was tho matter ? Mr. Niblo , i lost ? "Come to think of it, I didn't i | see him go out of here when I locked ' ; up. Ho must be in tho tomb." The tomb has an ornamental door let ! t into the solid rock surroundings. It is j massive, thick, uninviting?and seems ! just tho aperture for a perpetual home ] | for the dead. Beyond it is an airy j ! apartment, in which the sunlight filters. When Mr. William Niblo entered his , favorite resting-place that summer after- ] noon so long ago, he sat in his accustomi ed seat, opened his book nud fell to ' | reading. The wind rose, the vault was | filled with air until a propulsive force : ; was generated, and then, suddenly, ; there came a shorl, sharp click, with semi-darkness after it. Mr. Niblo was ; shut in. The vault door had sprung to. ! i He was found sitting composed in the : tomb, and by no meaus so much agi tated as was any one of those who were I looking for him. Ho explained the aci cident, his shrieks for assistance and j theu his relapse into a calm and philoI sopliical consideration of the circum j stances. He knew that no one could ' hoar him call, but he felt that the ! active brainR of his friends would seak him out, and that sooner or later ho would be liberated. A Beetle for a Breastpin, An English weekly newspaper, an authority on matters of fashion, de scribes as fin "ornament" actually worn | by the wifo of a well-known Congrcss} man of the United States. The new j breastpin is a living beetlo, which is i 1 attached to the wearer's dress by a j slight gold chain encircling the insect's i body. The beetlo is clearly described as being one and a half inches long, , j "cumbrous," and not beautiful in its ] : markings. The brilliant wing cases of 1 J tropical beetles, which are even yet worn j ai jewelry,were beuutiful in their colors ] at least. The rarity of the insects on- , I huuees their value as breastpins even 1 less than a faculty whioh awakens now ; wonder at the adaptability of nature. Of course, jewelry whi.-ii dies if it is not , i fed would bo troublesome; but these ( j bugs have developed the power of supi pressing hunger, or of not feeling it, except when it is convonient to satisfy < , their appetites. The f-peoiraen here j ' described had been in its owner's pos- f j session for "six weeks only," and it cer- j . tainly had not had anythiug to eatdur- l ing that time, nor for an indefinitely long previous period.

Silver filagree combs are very fashionable, as are pins . of red or palo yellow gold. The shell comb is seen in a variety of shapes. Dyed hair has had its day. So many ! persons are suffering from the effects of j the various dyes that physicians are pro- J i hibiting tho use of the different kinds of coloring matter. Tho French govern- , ; meut makes a study of tho preservation ( 1 of life. Wheu dyed hair became the i fashion the government ordered a board i I of scientific men to analyze blondine and 1 other kinds of dye. Tho result was a [ | report, that tho use of these dyes im- ( | paired the eyesight and the complexion, j : and a perseverance in tho uso produced ? t ill-health and shortened life. TheFrench ' government then prohibited, by a lepis- ; lative act, the uso of hair dyes. The f American women are tho most profitable i customers which the French chemists t have.

' nal On tho tenth the number of deaths from th< rellow fever throughout the infected dis- djj ricts exceeded 4,200, and tho plague was ? aging with increased violence, new places be- r1 ng visited by it daily. In New Orleans thenum- hu >er of new cases was 230 and the deaths aft lighty, making a grand aggregate of 1,717 per- of ions who had succumbed to the destroyer. ^ dispatch from the Crescent City says : , , 'Those of morbid taste can be glutted here, , 'or there is nothing but disease, death, and of lestitution seen or talked of on every side, be rhe courage of the charitable associations is to itrained to the utmost, but their resources! are ja,. nadequate to meet every demand." In Mem- ,, nmiihir nt flpftths nn the tenth was 115, a heavy rain having increased the mortal- de. ty. A Vicksbnrg dispatch says the indications to vere that the fever was decreasing in new cases Up jut that the mortality was fearful. In Canton, i' SlisB., the number of new cases was increasing rr :iourly, the physicians were over-worked, th< inrses were needed badly and the situation was qu mmmed up in the one word?"horrible." The ap 'ev9r broke ont in 8enatobia, Miss., and the un Jltizene began to abandqp the place. On the eleventh a stormy and piercing north ~? .vind visited New Orleans and largely increased tO( :he fever mortality, but was expected to act as v check to the spread of the disease if it con- i ;inued. There were ninety deaths and 2o8 . jew cases in half a day. In Memphis there is ivere forty-six deaths np to noon, and 1,000 or, joffins were telegraphed for, the supply becom- \Z\ ng short. The wholo numbar of deaths there jn the eleventh was 104, of which nineteen ivero colored people. The following statement ;vas made to the public: "We have at this date 5,500 sick to provide for, and 10,000 well people 1 :o feed. Tho average increase of cases is 100 enl Derday. The total daily expenses of the Howard ina Association and Citi2ens Belief Committee we ire abont $11,000. We have on hand aboat nil) 555,000, enough for five days.

Me On tbe twelfth dispatches received from the see infected points showed that while the disease abi ontinued to attack hundreds of new victims am Jaily, the number of deaths was decreasing, rec rtie mortality had gone beyond 4,500. A Washington dispatch of the twelfth says that ? L>r. reaso, one 01 me pnyHiciautt wuo imu re- . tnrned from Memphis, stated that the horrors * 3f the pestilence were beyond description. The ? wealthy had almost entirely fled from Mem- p1 phis, leaving the poor to shift as they might for themselves; and to the horrors of the P?i plaguo were added those of a condition ap- lJ* proaching to famine. The provision stores ? wero all closed, and the only way to obtain wn supplies from them was to break them open, n5' which was sometimes done. Even the drag ( stores were all closed oxcept three, and it was Jifficult to get medicine, even when medical at- 1 tendance had been had and prescriptions writ- get ten. The banks were open but one hour a day. 8tij Die commissary depots established bv the How- wa urd Associations were besieged by throngs of bej colored people, many of whom came in from the thi surrounding country, risking the pestilence in de: order to get free provisions. No vehioles were seon in the streets except the deid-carts and the ioctors' buggies, with an occasional hearse * jonveying the remains of some wealthier vie- ?1. tim. ' At night the streets were here and there * , lit up with the baleful gleam of the death fires 'nc that i urned in front of each house that con- An tained a corpse. Not of each house either, for many a victim died alone after suffering unattended, and there was no one to put out the ? sustomary signal. Persons taken sick on a^' the streets crawled into unoccupied tene- gg, ments, and their corpses were afterward /jj. iiscovered by the smell of their decompos- gg ing flesh. Many were found dead in the pub- an' lie parks or under the fences. Corpses accu- mj, mulated for want of adequate bu ial force, and trenches were then dug, in which great rows of ] joffiun were deposited side by nidi-,aud one row BC jn tbo top of another. Dr. Pease stated that wi< the peculiar smell of the great pest iu the city of :ould be detected at a distance of three miles, thi On the thirteenth a better condition of wt iflairs existed in most of the plague-stricken Ac :ities and towns, owing to the prevalence of jool weather. In Now Orleans there wore si^hty-six deaths and 228 new caaes?a falling off from previous reports. In Memphis the fever was of a milder type and yielded more readily to treatment The namler of deaths i.1 + /% ***? a rv# vvas muuiy-uuuu. xuu icvci-nuuucu wnuo ui Mississippi continued to send out reports telling of death and destitution, and the governor , of tho State issued a proclamation appointing i day for the people to "repair to their trc respective places of worship and offer up their ?? united petition in prayer to God that He will b8j svithclraw from our people this terrible afflic- ro1 tion, and that in His infinite goodness and 801 mercy He will restore them to health and bring peace to their mourning households." North . j of the Ohio there were several cases of " yellow Jack " reported and the utmost precaution was ~ takon to prevent the fever from taking an epi- t j iumic form. "r Dispatches of the sixteenth statod that there liad been frosts in various places in the fever ' flistricts, and a feeling that the worst was th aver began to be manifested. The number of ce< Jeaths in tho infected cities and towns up to late were as follows : New Orleans, 2,091 ; i Baton Houge, La., 30; Plaqnemine, La.. 37; ie< Morgan Citv, La.. 8; Port Eads.

The number of cases at New Orleans 5J, up to date was 6,566. At Vicksburgh it was over tiei 3,500. In Mf-mphis about 6,000 people had jecn taken with the fever. On the sixteenth there was still no evidence it the farther spread of tho disease, while the lumber of deaths and of new cases continued ^ ;o show a slight decrease. Memphis was the shief center of the scourge, and the mortality hi ,here was somewhat larger than had been Bo intioipated, 111 deaths having been reported, )f which thirty-fix were colored. At Vicks- ^ jurg there were eighty-five now ca-es, and lotico was sent out by the people of that city pjc ojthe country, stating that the responses to ippeals for aid had been to generously m< t vVi hat it was believed no further help would be equir6d for the present. At Grenada, Miss., j By in attempt to revive business proved an ntter 'ailuru, as, with a few trilling exceptions, there j van uo one in tho city to buy and the people of j bo surrounding conutry still keep away from i be plague-riddou place.

This trick, simple as it was, seems to ve hnu a great snccess, owing no ubt to that feeling of sympathy with itemal love with which the French tion is so amply gifted. As loug as ) objects stolen were only of moderate nensions, everything went well. The ectionato mother was easily able to rry away into a cab before the search er her began. But from one species tbeft she nnlnckily proceeded to anier, and at lengtn conceived the mis:en idea of carrying off a hnge piece pork. The usual proceeding had en adopted and safely carried out up the time of exit into the street. But 3 booty bad hardly been taken out of ) shop when some voracious dog wanring in that vicinity was lucky enough catch scent of it, and made an attack on the party, in which several other rs soon joined. The astonishment of 3 bystanders was followed by iniries, explanations, and at last the pearance on the sceno of the pork tcher, who succeeded this time in revering his property, and bringing the ) audacious thief to justice.
