Ii esque cuurtu cumvc, f J'-jjk\ tbe oldest in town I standing on the ongY~| 'Da^ "te' stately ' steeple of which has i jgJ long served as a bea- i con for vessels enter- j ing the harbor. Apart from the inter- 1 est which attaches to the church itself i this steeple has an individual history of < its own, for on the night of April 18, 1 1775, the two lanterns which started Paul Revere on his famous ride to Lex- ] ington were displayed from its upper i windows. Christ Church was the sec- 1 ond to be erected in the city, being ] built six years before the famous Old i South, and its architectural beauty was < highly praised, being regarded as one of ? the ornamental structures of the North ] end. It was erected in 1723, the arcbi- ^ tecture being of the type common ] throughout New England at that-period. Both interior and exterior are severely 1 *\inin and monotonous. the tower alone |! It? possessing any claim to architectural beauty. The original steeple, 192 feet in height, was built after designs by oce Charles Bulfinch, but it toppled over in the great gale of 1804, falling upor. a wooden building on Tileston street, through which it crashed, fortunately without injury to the inmates. The new tower, sixteen feet less in height, was erected by Joseph Tucker. The superb chime of eight bells was from the foundry of Abel Rudhall, of Gloucester, whose bells are heard throughout England, and were the first chimes sent to America from this celebrated foundry. The subscription for these chimes was started by John Hammock and Robert Temple, wardens of the church, in 1743, and was completed by Robert Jenkins and John Gould, also wardens, the following year. The chime ?- J f\itlor onH rnnse I was uuiuiucu uj i/i. vu?v. ?? crated in England. Popular superstition at the time invested the bells with the power to drive away evil spirits. The largest bell weighs 1545 and the ] smallest 620 pounds, the aggregate j< weight being 7272 pounds. Tne bells | ] were hung in the old steeple in 1744, |) and were the first to be heard in Boston, j ] Each bell has a unique inscription as i < follows: i FIRST BELL. , This peal of eight bells is the gift of a j number of generous persons to Christ Cbucb, in Boston, N.

These bells have beea rung at certain hours on week days, according to a provincial custom, the houis for Christ Cburcb being 5, 1 and 9 o'clock. John Roulstone rang the old South bells at 5, 1 1 and 9; the new South bells were rung by John Ranstead at 11, 1 and 9. Everything about the old church is atately, stiff aud solemn; the pews are high, straight-backed and uncomfortable. Around the pulpit is a gilded cluster of feathers, like a Corinthian capital. The trails are unusually solid, being two and A half feet tbick, and the bricks are laid in tbe Englivh bond style, of which few 5 examples remain. Some alterations have inforinr hut the manv UCCU uuauc AM bUV iuivi IV* y w?? j j distinctive features which make Christ Church a notable example of early church architecture remain. The ancient chandeliers were presented by Captain Gruchy, and were ( trophies of war taken from a French ves- r Bel conveying them to a foreign cathe- t v^Jral. This Captain Gruchy was a native of the Island of Jersey. During the war t between England and France his priva- j teers captured stray merchantmen, which ? were either sent to Boston and sold or s destroyed at sea,while the booty was car- j ried to the Captain's mansion through ? an arch of brick leading up from the ( wharf in front of the residence. The ? entrance to this tunnel and the boats ^ lying there were cleverly concealed by a ] dock built over the entrance, an d the BUST OP WASHINGTON IN THE CHCRCB. 1 ' 1 1 transfer of merchandise was clone under ] cover of da?kness. , Several images of saints -which ndorn . the organ front were taken from a French ship by the privateer Queen of Hungary, in 1746, and presented by the Captain. An ancient Bible (vinegar edition), five ] prayer books and portions of the silver 1 communion service were presented by King George II. arid bear his monogram. Other portions of this service were yiven by Captain Thomas Tudor, 1724, and Leonard Vassal!, 1730. The baptism b?wl was presented by Arthur Savage, in 1732. The clock was placed in position in 1740, and the large Erben organ iu 1756. The latter is an instrument of fine tone. The first monument erected in this country to the memory of Washington was placed in Christ's Church in 1815. This was the gift of Shubael Bell, Esq. Underneath the church are spacious >>orp were interred many dis tauitOf uuu uv< v .? ?? tinguished men, prominent among them being Major Pitcaim, the leader of the British forces which fired on the provincials at Lexington. Among the handsome memorials in Westminster Abbey is one in honor of this officer, but his body in all probability still rests beneath Christ Church. When his remains were demanded by relatives in Ea?land a body supposed to be that of Pitcaim was Jorwarded by the sextou, but it was later discovered that the remains were iiuJoubtedly those of Lieutenant Shea, tvho somewhat resembled the gallant Major, so that the monument in Westminster is unquestionably over the body >f a man who died peacefully at home. A. prayer book of the Major is still in the possession of a Boston gentleman, in tvhich the following is written on the fly eaf: Major Pitcairn's compliments to the genSleman overhead, and bags he will not snore >o loud, as it disturbs his slumbers. Ilk M J, J M 3nSy^li$ tHl OLD CHRIST CHURCH. In the crypt at a period succeeding the Revolution were discovered the skeletons )f a number of British officers killed at Bunker Hill, oiled one on another, their :attered uniforms clinging to the bones. During the Revolution the British troops juartered in the West End attended service at this church, greatly to the anloyance of the good people of the parish. During the exciting Lexington and Concord period the Rev. Mather Byles, i pronounced loyalist, was the rector. Be left Boston in 1775 and went to St. Tohn's, where the atmosphere was more :oD?enial. The Rev. William Montague, laid to have been the first Episcopal, rec;or ordained in America to be received n an English pulpit, was for many years ector of Christ Church. It was to him :hat Arthur Savage gave the fatal bullet ;aken from the body of General Warren, who fell at Bunker Hill, and this somewhat ghastly relic was long treasured by :he dominie. pr* INTERIOR or CHURCH.

THE PEALM OF FASHION WHAT TO WEAR AND HOW TO HAKE IT. A Pretty Dress For a Girl Between Eight and Ten - Other Novelties, ICTURED here i9 a "a M J vcrv tirettv little I dress for a child of /5r? 8 to 10. It may be # I r ?&//7r\ madc np in almost / II '<*! /A 1 any material. You I ^r\\ m// X. 1 hnish the skirt in ft j front with bands of embroidery. There is also an embroid//$& 'ii^uvi ered plastron and I Si I IKluV collar.

While simplicity Y'\ I should always be *=^-j ?| l=~z~ 'he key note in fashions for children. for nothing s * ? r looks more ridicua pretty child's dress. ]ous than an overdressed child, yet if tastefully applied and the tones be kept quiet and subdued, a ceram ry- - A STAMPED FOULARD. lain amount of garniture is always to be commended. For summer costumes, however, all appearance of heaviness, all overweight effects should be carefully avoided. Above all things should a child's costumes be in strictest harmony with its coloring. Soft tint3 should be chosen, such as melt into the pink and white of the complexion, match the soft golden of the hair or the sky blue of the eyes. ll/ A PA NCI NO C OWN. Nothing can be prettier than a stamped foulard for a young person, and nothing more appropriate for summer wear. The -n"?**vi/>fnr?Q ft eown. The skirt has three mffle3 made of bias stripes. Tlu charming little guipure figrro is outlined with ribbons set off with a double bow, a; indicated. It is exactly the same at th? back. There is also a ribbon belt, the sleeves carrying out the same scheme ol garniture. The Eton jacket has developed into one of the rages of the moment, bill very few of these garments are Eton except in name. The true Eton bas small close sleeves, and should invariably be worn with HEAPCEAn FOR MTTI E HEADS. a sleeveless vest, for if yo\i make its sleeves large enough to go over an ordinary gown, you have no longer an Eton coat. The true Eton has tailor made turn-down collar and lapels. Xor shou'd it ever be made use of as a wrap for muffling up purposes. This is ridiculous. The correct summer girl never makes such a mistake. Her Eton coat is Ti>?.rp]v a spn.'iraie ho<liee which she wears over different vests ami matches her skirts, while the vests run in different materials. The coat must lit the figure snugly. To do this, the vests should have long openings for the straps to pass through. in the illustration is a charming toilet for a Saturday night hop, which may be made up in any filmy, gauzy material, the cut' out being trimmed with lace, as shown. The ribbon corselet ends at the side seams. At the back there is a Watteau bow with long ends. Jf made up in pale blue, a passementerie band of silver crosses the bust and meets at the back under the bow. The laced Swiss belt is a very pretty novelty in leather of various colors. At the back and front, the two pointed edges are laced with a silk cord. On each side there is a buckle. This belt goes with silk vests and blouses, so much worn at summer resorts. The lacing cord should be tied at the bottom. In the way of headgear for little heads , <- ?y.r. wmmm^mmammmammmmmmmrntmmmrs .mmammmmmmmmmmmammmam me mothers should be curefnl nr.t to mane ! choice of large flowers for garniture, so that the child may not seem to be wearing iier big sis'er's hat. Jn t lie illustration is given a very good trample of a becoming hat for a little miss?a yellow straw ornamented with a garland of daisies and bows of strawcolored ribbon. Certain flowers have a young look about them when full blown, and they are the ones to make choice of for children's hats. All wild flowers go well with youthful faces and are particularly hprnminc for such* as have the wild wood land air about thorn. No one would think of getting orchids or peonies or tulips or poppies or tiger-lilies on a child's hat. Would not daisies or heather or wild roses or forgetme-nots or pansies or apple-blossoms be more appropriate? A very becoming bit of headgear for some children is the wide brimmed fancy straw with a Sicilian crown, which is of silk or woolen stuff, striped something like a liberty cap and has a silk tassel that falls gracefully over the brim. Long skirts of the Kate Greenaway style should be used with great discretion even in cold weather. Such gowns are really not fitted for walking purposes at all, and many a cold gets its first lessnns in stiff and awkward carriage by being rolled up in these so-called picturesque costumes. Every child in good health has far more vitality than he or she ha9 any use for. and it must be worked off in swift motions and semiboisterious play, the limbs, particularly, being left free and untrammeled. Short skirts, therefore, should be the rule as the warm weather comes on. and gowns should be straight and loose and not loaded down with heavy sashes. Very pretty effects are attained by trimming the skirt and cuffs with bands of velvet ribbon of a darker 6bade than the dress, the ribbon also being used to stimulate the yoke. You will find a charmingly picturesque little gown represented in the illustration. It may be made im: (M 1; hip i CHILD'S G0W*. up in variouB materials, but more appropriately in crepon, silk or printed goods. The blouse and tight sleeves should be of plain goods. The particular charm of the costume lies in the original use made of a fichu effect. You get here a back view of it, show ing how it discloses a round yoke. In front the two ends cross and terminn on the shoulders, where the ends hook. There is a straight ruched collar. The tipper sleeves are made very full and are gathered on the tight sleeve at the elbow. CURIOCS FACTS. A machine has been invented which makes 30,000 corkscrews every day.

He will conceal himself in a .clump of leaves near the spot where small birds are accustomed to gather, and when they are enjoying themselve3 in their own fashion, will suddenly frighten them almost to death by screaming out like a hawk. Of course they scatter in every direction, and when they do so the mischievous rascal gives vent to a cackle that sounds ? ? ? ? *- I- X2 J very mucn iiKe a laugn. n ue coouueu his pranks to such jokes as this, however, he would not be such a bad neighbor to birds smaller than himself, but when he amuses himself by breaking the eggs in their nests and teariDg the young to pieces with his bill, he becomes a pestilent nuisance and they often combine their forces to drive him out of the neighborhood. They do not always succeed, for he is as full of light as of mischief, but a severe conflict teaches him that they too have their rights, and thus induces hit>i to mend his manners." Big: Rats or Ceylon. Particularly in the animal and vegetable world Ceylon is filled with curiosities. Among the most remarkable of the inhabitants of the forests are rats that make their nests on the branches of trees. Frequently they visit the dwellinrro r\ f tKo whpH? til PIT iU5? rvf,?? "-v,v ?""j arc eagerly pursued and devoured by a kind of snake known as the "rat snake," specimens of which are commonly domesticated for the purpose of destroying the rodeuts. So rapid are these ophidians in their movements that a rat, once spied, has small chance of escaping. There are rats of another kind on the island which nest among the tree roots. Like the lemmings of Norway, tbey migrate in vast numbers on the occurrence of a scarcity of food. They attack the coffee plants and the Malabar ' coolies are so fond of their flesh as to preler to labor in those districts where j the coffee plantations are invaded by the | animals. For eating, the rats are fried l < in cocoanut oil or made into a curry. ]1 . ' .? .,. . : ; ; Arizona Onyx. Arizona onyx is fast gaining a reputation in the East, and the day is not far distant when most of the on^x used in the United States will cooie from this Territory. The great bed of this precious stone in Yavapai and Maricopa Counties alone, when sufficiently developed, will supply a greater part of the demand. Even.now from two to five car loads are shipped from the Yavapai beds, and arrangements are being made to increase the output. The Yavapai onyx beds, owned by W. 0. O'Neil and partners, are probably the most extensive mines of the kind known, being almost a solid body one mile hy one mile and a halt in extent. At present about forty men are engaged in taking out the stone that is being shipped to Chicago, New ' York, Cincinnati and other Eastern cities, where it is worked into table tops, T? xL. 1 etc. xrouauiy me jurgcai oiou ui vnj* ever taken out in one piece was dug out, of the O'Neil led?e, it being 23x10 feet and twenty-six inches thick. The stone from this claim is very fine grain and takes a much higher polish than the celebrated onyx of Mexico, and it contains colors that were exhausted many yean ago in the Mexican mines. Then, roo, the mines of that country never turned out pieces larger than five or six feet square. So far as developed the Cave Cretk onyx beds do not eeem to be aa large as the Yavapai beds, though the etone is as fine, but even as they are, they will produce large amounts and in blocks of very satisfactory size.

Phenix Gazette. The Castor Oil Plant. The caetor oil plant has been generally believed to be indigenous in India, although it is now found growing in most of the warmer parts of the earth. In tropical countries it somr'imes attains a height ot forty feet, but in the more temperate regions it i- much smaller, seldom attaining more than twelve feet in height, and often not more than five or six feet. The leaves are alternate, and arranged on long stalks. The blade is about nine inches across. The castoi oil plant grows in almost any kind of land in the tropical regions, though il naturally grows best in a light, sandy loam. It is not an exhausting plant. In India the seed is sown in August or September. in cooler districts 11 is noi sown until the middle of October. Into the shallow rows that are marked on the land five feet apart two seeds are dropped at distances of five feet and covered with two inches of soil. At this rate it takes 3484 seeds to plant an acre. The yield of castor oil Beed per acre will be from fifteen to tv;enty-five bushels. A bushel of good seeds will yield with a hydraulic press two gallons and three pints of oil. With an ordinary screw press the yield per bushel will be about two gallons. In addition to its medicinal uses castor oil is used in India for burning in lamps or for soap making. It is also extensively used all over the world for the lubrication of machinery, and it holds a high placc for many technical purposes.?Boston Cultivator. Boston the Wool Market of America.

The flags used by the Colooial troops during the first two years of the Revolutionary War were of various designs. The New York forces used the orange, white and blue of their Dutch ancestors; the Connecticut regiments the three grapevines; some of the other New Eogland troops the rattlesnake flair, and yet others, the pine tree flag, a modification of which bad been used at Bunker Hill. The first flag used in nsval warfare bore a black rattlesnake on a yellow ground, Bod was thrown to the breeze by Commodore Hopkins early In 1776.
