On this particular night there was to be given at the largest and most fashionable hotel in G?, namely the Hotel Royal, a grand ball in honor of _ ' Lord and Lady D?, who were wintering there. It was to be the great affair of the season, and the wealth and beauty and dignity of the whole *tate had been invited. Jiule expected to reach a rich harvest of dimes, giving the finishing shines to the guests' boots as they passed under the brilliantly lighted gentleman's entrance. Every side of the magnificent edifice' was ablaze with the three colors of our own flag, thousands of which 11 uttered from and draped the windows, twined and knotted with the squares and lions of the royal British flag. Colored glass globes covered all the gas flames which flashed upward from the heads of the golden eagles perched over the windows. Nothing so beautiful had ever been seen there, and the streets were so crowded with spectators that it took nearly a'l the police force of the city to keep the ways leading to the entrances open for the guests'carriages. Within, the scene was a hundred times more beautiful still, for the earth and the sea and the sky had been ransacked, digged into, dived" into, and floated through to deck and beautify the marble hall and the fair forms of grace and chivalry there gathered. Strains from the" grand orchestras floated down to the street crowds and set a hundred pairs of young feet dancing to their joyous notes on the paved public square before the hotel. Boys like Jude were paid to take care nf the overshoes and wraDS of the dancers, and so Jude stayed while all went merrily on. In a little cottage within sight of the hotel another party was in progress. } This a small tea party given the ambitious, rather j pand rather vain, wife j _f<?j*Torris Downs, clerk in the dry ^d^^goods house of Laud & Loring. Nor-1 ris Downs and wife had once been invited to the young Mr. Loring's after he became junior partner in the firm, and this was the afternoon and evening Mrs. Downs had pursuaded her husband to return the favor. Atout the time of the lighting up at the hotel poor Mrs. Downs was just beginning to smooth down her rumpled feelings after a most uncomfortable two hours. For just as she was ushering her two lady guests into her showy parlor, who should appear upon the scene of action, to Mrs. Downs' discomfiture, but AuntSabrina Notts from the country, come, as she explained, " to see the band players set on the tavern ruff with gold eagles and fire UcULB uii turn ni:ua. That was the way her hired boy Dick hail read the newspaper paragraph to her. Dick was a practical joker and found what he called "an easy gummed old coon" in Aunt Sabrina Uotts, his near-sighted employer. His last joke, which he had called in a few young friends to enjoy with him, was telling her that a new kind of teapot manufactured by Toby & Dummy (no such firm existed) would crawl up the side of the room like a spider; and to prove it he ordered a new one which he had brought home to go up as far as a nail in the wall which he drove up for the purpose. Having previously tied one end of a string to the handle of the teapot, by ^naming the string over the nail he J" " slowly drew the teapot up and down to the unbounded astonishment of Aunt Sabrina-?who could never be persuaded to use the " bewitched thing" ?and the great satisfaction of Dick's boys.

" Don't mind me, ladies, none on ye, 1'vebrung my knittin' work and I can talk with ye if ye be strangers. I'm real soshybie and I ain't a mite stuck up." Mrs. Loring had with her her sister, Miss Cramp, a slim lady very fashionably dressed, who drew herself up very haughtily when Aunt Sabrinli shook her hand as if it were a pump handle. " Lor, you hcv got an orful .. . cold, haven't ye? Seein's ye can't p speak much !bove a whisper. Catnip tea's mighty goo;lfursich a cold. Take f a hull bowl on't hot, sweetened with molasses, ye'll get inter a swet and yer husband kin rub ye down so's?" " Aunt Sabrin:i," said mortified Mrs. Downs, "she is Miss Cramp." "Wal, I know she's Mis' Cramp, 1 hain't deef." " But she hasn't any husband, she is not married." "Ain't married! Lorfulsuz,?at her time o' life!?w hy I sposed she luul a hull family o' children prob'lv, the reason she's so old and peeked-lookin', wal, catnip tea's good fur yer cold, Miss Cramp?married or single." Miss Cramp twirled her rings, too disgusted and angry to open her lips. Mrs. Loring sympathize d with her and poor Mrs. Downs was thoroughly worked up. Mrs. 13otts kept on knitting and talking; and peeked over her spectacles as she talked: "Wouldn't ye like tew borp' a pocket hankercher er suthin to wipe the flour offn yer I face, Miss Cramp? I spose it's yer mar's bread day and you got flour on yer self; Sary Ann would lend ye sunthin to wipe it off, I know, as it shows pretty plain." A short pause ensue,1, broken again by Aunt Sabrina's interrogations. Verily she was "real sosliyble." " W-here be ye from, Miss Cramp?" "Did you addr">s me, madame?" asked Miss Cramp, crossly. " Sartin I did?yer name's Cramp, aintit? I addressed ye as ter where ye come from." "Xorthston. madame." "Northston, dew tell. "Why I've got a rich brother there. Come home a year ago from South Ameriky, Headley Black; mebby yev'e hearn tell on him." Heard tell of Headley Black ? Indeed Miss Cramp had. Could it be ? ' possible that this disagreeable old country woman was his sister? Headley Black, dignified, reserved, owner of Spence Lodge, the target at which were aimed the intentions of all the middle-aged maidens of Northston. "Yes, he's my brother; went to South Ameriky eighteen year ago, j arter a disappointment he had in not marryin' the gal he wanted. Her folks *: :married her off tew a rich widderer while Headley was off ter New York huntin' for a job. They made up some letters tew her from Headley; insultin' r 7 letters Ibey was, and so she married i v John Hilton. They went ter Texas with their riches and Headley went ter South Ameriky arter riches. John Hilton lost all hisn and Headlev got a lot on't. So turns the wheel o' fortin', here to-morrow and gone yisterday? Feel better, don't ye, o' that cold?? Begin to look quite chipper ; act ez if ye'd struck ile, as the savin is." Miss Cramp had " struck ile," or the vein which led to it. for she had struck Ileadley Black's sister. Iler whole manner changed ; and that was the time when Mrs. Downs began to brighten up again. The gentlemen came into tea and as Miss Cramp could be quite agreeable when she chose they all spent a very enjoyable evening. Of course they watched the brilliant show across the square and listened outside as long as they could endure the cold to the music of the bands and the gay laughter of the street dancers. Suddenly above Jill the merry shouts and music rose the shrill voices of the servants within the closely barred and bolted hotel as they shattered the windows and sprang headlong into the streets crying " Fire !"' The basement and first lloor were in flames. A wild panic ensued. Cries of nirnnv and fprror nierced the night %*r> j ? r w air from the upper windows of the burning structure. Ilundrels of permanent and transient guests who had had no part or lot in the night's festivities stood at the open windows of the fourth and fifth stories, the red blaze behind them, the awful distance below. The lire soon got under such headway that the engines were useless, and every energy of the bystanders to save more than the hundreds who escaped from the burning building within a few seconds after the alarm was sounded was powerless to avail the doomed inmates. Aunt Sabrina stood with the Downses and Lorings in plain sight of the terrible spectacle. " That ever I should live ter see human bein's cut in tew on telegraph wires and smashe 1 to jelly right ter my very footstool! oh, dear! oh, marcy on us! I shan't never come ter this wicked .Sodom and (iomorrer agin.'' "Look up to the fourth story, Mrs. IJotts! Isn't that your brothvr Ileadley in the west window?" "Oh lorful suz! oh lawks'a marcy! l es, it s mm. now um nc tunm uci be up there? Oh-o-o!"' Her nephew led her into the house; her groans and cries could be heard in the street, but nobody noticed them. > Headley Black, standing at his fourth story winaow, seo body after body hurled down from above and below him with sickening dull crash to the pavement or caught midway and mangled on the multitude of wires which stretched over the street. lie hesitates a moment as if deciding which deatli to choose, when his eye is caught by the sight of a slender, shabbily-dressed boy climbing deftly up a smooth telegraph pole opp< site his window with a large basket hanging to his neck. Mr. Black does not jump. lie watches the child and many others watch him too. What is he trying to do? "What childish notion has he of saving a life with that basket? But nobody orders him down and quick as thought when he get near the top of the pole he takes from the basket an iron rod with a sharp hook at each end and catching one hook into the top of the pole he hangs the basket on the other by a rope which crosses from handle to handle, and jumps into the basket. From the bottom of the basket he lifts a coil of rope. "Catch it!" he shouts to the man in the window. The South American understands the peculiar turn the toy makes, and when Jude Hilton the Texan plainsman's son, with the dexterity of the native born Texas boy lassoing wild cattle on the prairies, swings the lasso straight to his window, he catches the noose, make3 it fast to some object within his room and slides down the burning building with lacerated, bleeding hands?but saved. A loud shout applauds the boy, but nobody but the watching, anxious mother see3 that with the spring which sends the long rope Hying to the window the telegraph pole splits and lets him fall to the pavement. She springs forward and drags him to one side. He is alive, but both legs are broken and a couple of lireinen carry him to the hospital. When Headley Black traced his deliverer to the surgeon's ward of the great hospital, he found a pale little woman with gray hair and sorrowful eyes watching beside the boy. And that faded little woman was *his lost love stolen from him so many years before. "Who knows whether the overwhelming joy which thrilled the long separated lovers when the marriage benediction was pronounced did not balance the anguish of the hundred victims of the great hoi beau st? So much sorrow seems ever to be necessary for the birth of a little joy. ' For who knoweth the mysteries of the will with its rigor ?"?SprinjJitld Republican. Making a Xose. In p.u obscure part of the Bellevue hospital yard there is a photograph gallei/ which has become an important adjunct to that institution. The photographer is 0. G. Mason. He has a long beard which, with his round velvet cap and apron, gives him the appearance of an alchemist of the middle ages. "I have been here since 1868," said the Dhotographer. " Before that time rare c;ises"m the hospital were photographei by amateurs, but the results were not satisfactory. The use of photography in making permanent records of the various stages of diseases and of their treatment has become a very important feature of surgery?so important, indeed, that it would not now be easily dispensed with. Not only are patients suffering from various forms of disease brought under the camera, but also the surgical instruments used, their construction and the method of their application.'' Mr. Mason showed the reporter a j series of photographs illustrating the successive stages of an important ! operation. The first picture showed the condition of a boy who, when brought into the hospital, had no nose. Ilis mouth was distorted and partly absorbed and the llesh beneath the eyes was drawn down upon the checks. "The l oy's face was in l a I shape, as you see," the photographer continued, " and the surgeons began to make his face over for him. The next ture shows how they build up the lower borders of the eyes, which then have a natural appearance. The next illustration shows the < lfect of the operation that was made to bring the lips into proper position, and widen them. Now the next to be done was to make a nose. The surgeons made a pocket at the lower part of the forehead, between the eyes, and after removing the n:dl from the middle finger of the left hand, they inserted it in the incision and bound his hand to his face. This picture here shows the position of the hand at this stage of the operation. As the hand' was across his mouth so that he was unable to breathe freely, an opening was made, ;is you see, in the trachea, and a tube inserted. After some days the linger was amputated just above the middle joint, the new nose was trimmed and made to unite with the llesh on the cheeks on either side. Quite a respectable nose, is it not? That young man is now an assistant in one of the city hospitabls, and few persons would imagine that he was wearing one of his middle fingers on his face." The hospital photographer also takes photographs of all the unknown dea l who are brought to the morcue. lie places the cofiin containing the dead body in an upright position in an angle of the morgue building, and makes a photograph of the face.? New York Tribune. Mighty Uncertain. A newly-married couple were on a Mississippi ferryboat, when the groom fell into the Mississippi. While he was battling for his life his wife said: "Xow, Samuel, didn't I tell you so? Now, then, work your legs, flop your arms, hold your breath and repeat the Lord's Prayer, for it's mighty uncertain, Samuel, whether you land in New Orleans or in eternity.'* t SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL. French silk merchants talk of acclimatizing a spider from the African C:>ast, which makes a thread very much like yellow silk and almost as strong An ingenious improvement in locomotive head-lights has recently been patented, by which the engineer, through a rod near his hand, can turn the head-light in any direction, from front to rear, on a sliding platform which is as wide as the locomotive at its broadest. Perhaps the deepest coalmine on this continent is at Pottsville, J'enn. The shaft is 1,576 feet deep-nearly a third of a mile. Every day during the busy season 200 cars, containing four tons each, are sent from below to the upper world, the time of each trip being a little over a minute. A Catholic priest living near Santa Fe, New Mexico, lately exhibited specimens of a new variety of spring wheat. The grains are iuiiy twice the size of ordinary grains of wheat, and nearly white. The heads ;ire fully eight inches in length, and contain only two rows of grains. There seems no end to the uses to which paper is to be put, the latest notable one being to the making of pulleys which are said to have the requisite strength with only twenty-five per cent, of the weight of iron pulleys. It is also claimed that belts do not readily slip on these pulleys, and hence may be run much slacker than on iron. A company has been organized at Ilartborough, Penn., to manufacture sugar from beets. The capital is $i')0,000, divided into shares of $25 each. A large number of farmers have contracted to raise and deliver beets at the factory at $5 per ton. They are informed that they can raise from fifteen to twenty tons per acre. Professor Colin, of Breslau, (Jermanv, has observed that children are obliged to hold dark colored slates much nearer the eyes to read writing thereon than is necessary with white paper, and finds that writing on white paper is as distinct at a distance of twelve inches from the eyes as that on slates at eight inches. It would therefore be well to banish slates from schoolrooms, for the eyesight of pupils is strained quite enough by other means. The " American Wonder." George Seward, the well-known sprint runner, died recently at his home, Birkenhead, England. lie was the most famous athlete of modern times, and though no doubt the phenomenally fast times creditid him in some of his ra;es are inaccurate, yet his speed was so great that he could defeat at his favorite distances any man of his day. lie was by birth an American, having been born at New Haven, Conn., October 17,1817. Early in life Seward was noted as a speedy runner, and around New Haven there still hangs a tradition that he at one time ran 1U0 yards there in eight seconds. Seward was a watchmaker by trade and augmented his income by racing lor small stakes at New Haven. His fame spread, and in 1841 when he went to England the stories of his prowess had preceded him. At that time he was a very muscular man, weighing 151) pounds and standing about 5 feet 8 inches. He ran several races shortly after arriving in England, but the one for which he has become famous was that of September 30,1844, He had as a competitor William liobinS'?n, of Newton Moor. The race took place notiar iromineoeveuoiiins inn, on the Hammersmith new road, atul was for ?50 a side. Seward in that race weighed 149 pounds. After a half dozen false starts the men went over the mark together and at the finish Seward was about two yards ahead of Robinson. Bell's Life, in reporting tlier ace, said : "The distance was run in less than ten seconds, but the American Deer said that by his first-rate watch the 100 yards was run in 1-ss than i>.\ second-1." This performance of late years has not been credited, as the men took a Hying start, running from a nine-foot scratch, and it is also doubtful if the course was a full 100 yards. Seward's other performances still stand on the record books?hi3120 yards in lli seconds, run May 3,1847, and his 200 yards in 19J seconds, done March 22, 1847, being the fastest performances on record. Seward once made a match with Pli'irloc Wo?tll!lll l.il orivft him t\VO yards start in 120, but AVesthall paid forfeit and the race never took place. After this, as Seward could not hope to race with any man at even terms, he issued a chal'lenge to run any man, "black, white or no color," to give them live yards in 120 or ten in 300, for from ?'100 to ?1,000 a side. Seward was a great hurdler and jumper, and it is related of him that lie once, on a wager, jumped across a canal twenty feet wide.?New York World. The Monkey and the Sugar. A recent English writer gives the following instam e of the sagacity of animals : 1 remember once in India giving a tame monkey a lump of sugar inside of a corked bottle. The monkey was of an inquiring mind, and it nearlv killed it. Sometimes, in an impulse Zf tl,a Iw tflo U1 Ul^U.^l, JU nuuiu Hit",, IHV 1M vv<v away out of its own reach, and then he distracted until it was given back to it. At oth< rs it would sit with ;i countenance of the most intense dejection, contemplating the bottled sugar ; and then, as if puzzling at the solution, would sternly take up the problem afresh, and gaze into it. It would tilt it one way and try to drink the sugar out of the neck, and then suddenly reversing it try to catch it its it "fell out at the bottom. Under the impression that it could capture it by a surprise, it kept rasping its teeth against the L'lass in futile bites, and warming to |the pursuit of the revolving lump, used to tie itself into regular knots around the bottle. Fits of the most ludicrous melancholy would alternate with spasms of delight as a new idea seemed to suggt st itself, followed by a new series of experi ments. Nothing availed, however, until one Clcty a Wild MICH upuil tin; piuw-ciii by" ;i jar of olives falling from the table with a crash, ami the fruit rolhd about in all directions. His monkeyship contemplated the catastrophe, and reasoned upon it with tlie intelligence of a Jlumboldt. Lifiing the bottle high in his paws, he brought it down with a tremendous noise smashing the glass into fragments, after which lie calmly transferred the sugar to liis mouth, and munched it with much satisfaction. "Xoble Sport." On the authority of the Courrier de Bone, "Lord Paget,lieutenant-general and gentleman groom to her majesty Queen Victoria," has been indulging himself with some curious "sport" iu Algiers. lie caus-d his steam-launch to be carried inland and launched on Lake Fezzara. The object, of his trip was wild-bird shooting, and he, having apparently big ideas on the subject, had a gun mounted on a swivel in the nf fKn loiinnli Thin mm \\rt\ qpp UUTY Ul WUC inuuvil. ?? v (?1V told, was "a breech-loading cannon carrying 4,000 yards, loaded with small shot and worked by two gunners from the noble lord's yacht." Here is the account of the day's sport: " After having let pass bands of small waterfowl, such ;is teal, grebe, plongers, seaduck, etc., we saw a large tlock of wild geese. The launch having eased up a little, the cannon was pointed to the tlojk. At a signal given by Lord Paget, a i loud detonation, which made the mountains echo, was heard, and the air was obscured by the {light of these large birds, who. tor the lirst time, found themselves troubled in their retreat. The surface of the lake was covered with geese, etc.. Happing about, plunging, and trying in all haste to escape." Unfortunately the "sports nierT?the Counter de none is responsible for the phrase?had left their dogs on board the Santa Maria, and it was with difficulty they could gather one-tenth of the victims. They got sufficient, nevertheless, to fill the boat, and the hunt with the cannon was continued during the day. Enough game was killed to fill with joy all the sportsmen of both France and Algiers. The average consumption of postal cards is 1,250,000 a day. *. FASHION NOTES. All dressy mantles are short. White will be worn extensively this summer. Pompons will be fashionable all summer for the crescent hat. Embroidered pongeo pattern dresses will be much worn this summer. A tiny omnibus, of gold, witli diamond windows, and horses of rubies, is the latest conceit in lace point. Belts are now narrow, being only an inch and a half wide, and are fastened with two buttons with buttonholes, and are pointed at the lapped end. Haw silks and pongees, in novel ti'it?, quite different from the old gray and ecru shades, will be worn this summer as polonaises or redingotes over short underskirts of velvet or best brand of "Louis" velveteen. Balbriggan stockings abound in the new varied tints of strawberry, amber, terra cotta, drake's neck blue, laurel green, bronze, elderberry, and a deep rich shade of violet. Kach of these colors is clocked with old gold or cream white. Royal pink, primrose yellow, pomegranate red and lettuce green aro the shades of satin and velvet combined with black lace in the newest bonnets. These bonnets are not made on a frame, but are shirred on wires of gilt, silver and bronze. Camlets in broken checks, tweeds, camel's hair and new plaid cloths with a bird, cat or dragon in each square, are made up in long traveling cloaks that cover the dress, and are only fastf-nrd once at the throat by long ribbons tied in a bow. Alligator-skin and patent-leather slippers made in Marie Antoinette style are worn by ladies in the house. The alligator leather has beautiful markings, and may be dyed many colors, but is most fashionable in its natural shade and in black and dark red. Canvas ribbon is one of the novelties for trimming summer bonnets. This is ecru linen canvas, with gilt cord un each edge. It comes in narrow widths for making rosettes and loops, and is tied in with black or dark velvet ribbon for the strings of very stylish straw bonnets. Traveling dresses are of roughsurfaced stuffs, like bourette and camel's-hair, made without silk or satin; the wrap is en suite, and may be a jacket, a short mantle or a dolman. The whole costume is made by men tailors in order to get finely-finished work, neat pressing, perfect lit and the stylish plainness that such suits demand. The bonnet matching this suit is a small, dark straw, trimmed with velvet puffing and feathers of a single shade. The trimmings for dross .skirts are not elaborate, yet are very effective. To finish the foot of Ottoman silk or I Sicilienne skirts are four bias gathered frills, made quite scant, an eighth of a yard wide when finished, and sewed on to lap half their depth to give a bundiy appearance; these have a selfbinding or milliner's fold on the lower edge. For summer are similar ruflles, made straight, very deeply lapped, and pinked on the lower edges; still other summer silks have the skirt nearly covered with three wide gathered llounces that do not lap. and are notched and pinked in leaf points.

The idea of an adhesive stamp aillxed to a letter, as indicative of the payment of postage, is much older than has been generally supposed. It is known that the first suggestion of such an arrangement in modern times came from Rowland Hill, the father of the cheap postal system in England, about the year l8:i(J or 1840. It was sevcr;d years, however, before his suggestion was carried into effect, ili.story, however, tolls us that the ancient (Jerman cities of Thurn and Taxis had such a system, which, for some inexplicable reason, fell into disuse, or failed to become general among nations. The modern postage stamp then was first used in i)n ghmd abou the year 1842 or 184.'}. In 1845 K. A. Mitchell, then postmaster of New Haven, taking advantage of the English idea, made use of a postage stamp of his own, which he continued to use until 1847, when the government of the United States issued the first American postage stamps. They were in two denominations. The fivecent was of a light brown color, bearing the head of Franklin, and the tencent of a gray color, bearing the etligy of "Washington. At that time the rate of letter postage was five and ten cents, according to distance. In 1851 a series of six denominations was issued. The one-cent stamp was blue, bearing an elliptic band upon which were the words " U. S. P. 0. Dispatch. Prepaid, one cent." "Within the box was an eagle with wings outspread. The two-cent stamp was also blue, bearing the head of Franklin; the threecent Vermillion, with head of "Washington; the five-cent chocolate, with head of Jefferson, and thirteen stars in the semi-circle above, the twelve-cent was black also with head of "Washington. The twenty-four, thirty and ninety-cent stamps were subsequently added to the series. The first of these bore the face of "Washington; the second was orange, with the head of Franklin, and the last was dark blue, also with the head of Washington. There was in this series a square car rier's stamp, blue in color, and bearing the head of Franklin. Indians Trading. A correspondent, writing from one of the trading posts in British America, says: I watched some Indians shopping, and was astonished tu sec how invariably they waved aside inferior goods and chose such material as merinos at $1.50 to $2 a yard. One of the merchants told me it was useless to oiler them anything but the best. An Indian, who could not speak English or French, and wanted live things, divided his money according to his idea of their relative cost in little piles on the counter, and going through a pantomime descriptive of his wants, was handed some silk handkerchiefs. Taking one he felt it, held it up to the light, and throwing it aside, shook his head vigorously, uttering an " I'gli!" of distrust. When shown a better one o lie w;is doubtful, but upon a much superior article being produced, lie took it, and willingly hande 1 over one pile for it. This, however, was too much, and when given the change lie put it in one of the other piles and proceeded in the same way to make the rest of his purchases. "IIow easily they could be cheated," I said to the clerk after the Indian had left. "No," he replied, " not so e isily as it would appear." They generally come in from their camps in great numbers once a year to sell furs and make purchases. They go to different shops, and on their return compare notes as to the cost and quality of their goods. Then, if one has paid more than another, or has been cheated in quality, he will never enter the shop again, .and the lirm that gives the greatest bargains is most patronized on their return. Queer Habits of Composers. Those who visited "Wagner in his retreat at Baireuth told strange stories, which lost nothing in the telling, of his peculiar habits. Like Balzac he found costume an aid to composition, and was said sometimes to receive guests in the medieval garl> lie used to don when writing ".Siegfried" or the'- Meistersinger." lie liked to vary the furniture of liis apartments and cram them with curiosities. But it is easy to parallel these vagaries of Wagner's?perhaps a "last infirmity" of lively imaginations?with the queer devices to which his compeers in music | and literature have had recourse to i stimulate their fancy. Gluck com| posed hest out of doors in a meadow with his piano and a bottle of champagne; Sacchini with his pet cats around him; Paesiello in bed; Sarti in a dark room; Meyerbeer during a thunderstorm; Auber on horseback at full gallop; while Adolphe Adam buried himself under an eiderdown quilt J?London Society, NEWS SUMMAKY Eastern and Middle States.

Five miners were descending a mine near Scrantor, I'enn., when an accident to the machinery sent the carriago in which they were being lowered down 'he shaft with lightning speed. The cariitgo was broken to pieces in the mine's rocky bottom, and four of the miners were fatally injured.

You may depend on it he is a good man whose intimate friends are all good. In character, in manners, in style, in all things, the supreme excellence is simplicity. Ceremonies are different in every country; but true politeness is everywhere the same. The greatest pleasure I know is to do a good action by stealth, and to have it found out bv accident. The art of being able to make good use of moderate ability wins esteem, and often confers more reputation than real merit. A wise man says friendship is like good coffee, when once it has become cold it cannot be warmed again without losing its first llavor. Self-love is at once the most delicate and the most tenacious of our sentiments ; a mere nothing will wound it, but nothing on earth will kill it. HEALTH HINTS.

(iirls nee 1'health as much?nay more than boys. They can only obtain it as boys do, by running, tumbling, by all sorts of innocent vagrancy. At least once a day girls should liave their halters taken off, the bars let down and be turned loose like young colts. The Prevention of Insanity. Dr. Nathan Allen, of Lowell, Mass., in a pamphlet on the subject, calls attention to the prevention of insanity as a question which, although much neglected, is at least quite as important as that of the cure of insanity. The disease is very largely dependent on physical and sanitary conditions, and ,1..,..1,1 l?u oft./lwwl nnf !>nd 1>rmiortit ItllC^U ?UUUJU UK OVUUIVUVUVUUU within such regulation as will prevent its development. Since, according to the late Sir James Coxe, insanity originates in some form of disease or in a deterioration of the body rather than in an exclusive affection of the nervous system, its growth should be checked by ;i general diffusion of the knowledge of the laws of tiie human organism and the use of all means necessary lor the preservation of good health. So far as insanity is hereditary, its transmission should be prevented by avoiding marriage with persons predisposed to it. It should be the aim of the medical profession to become so well acquainted with the diseases of the nervous system and the brain that they could detect the first symptoms of disturbed or deranged states of mind, so as to be al>le to treat them understandingly, and, in all probability, in many cases successfully. ?Popular Sdtnce Monthly.
