A stsge coach is a great big jolt, jumble

considerable mud out there when the

a man who was going along and obser

with iufluito difficulty fished it out with
a pole, what was his disgust and astonish

1 did have some few connected ideas

during the present week. The time
was when a yorrfrg lady would consider
herself totally unlit to appear ut church

however, is all changed now, for the
past few years the Spring season has
been so cold that it would be considered
qoiie unfit to dou the lighter costume
till later iu the season, When the sun is
warmer and no danger is iucurred by
the change ol clothing.

style. Floating ends of ribbon and lace
are still used. White straw will b*
extensively worn for both bonnets and
hats, and also straw trimmings, mixed
with laces.
FEATHERS
are not used as much as they were last
spring, still, a richer garniture cannot
be employed than fine lace and solt
feathers on pure white chip or fine split
straw.
DOTTED LACE
are used if poeaible more than over, and
s bonnet or hat without the usual lace
vail in the back is unseemly, not to say
ungraceful. Cros grain ribbons are used
on all kinds of hata and bonnets, and a
hat is hardly complete without some of
the ribbon or a little rich gros silk to
mix with the lace and straw.?Brook

The Mulo Gun,
Some people bnvc conceived tho idea
that the stuull 'Gutling guns, made at
Colt's, were intended to be fired from
> he back of a mule, because they are
only made light for transportation. The
statement that they could be used from
the bick of a mule or horse, which is
going the rounds of the papers, calls up
the following anecdote, which we heard
sonic time since: -
Out in a certain western fort some
time ugo, tho major conceived the idea
that artillery might be used effectively
in fighting the Iudians, by dispensing
with gun carriages, aud fastening the
cannon Upon the backs of mules, so he
explained his views to the wOu<mandant,
und it was deter aiitied to try tho expe
riment. A suiill howitzer was strapped
upon an nmbuluucc mule, with the- muz
zle pointing Awards the tail. When
they bad secured the gun, and loaded it
with bull cartridge, they led that calm
nod steadfast mule out to the bluff aud
set up a target in the middle of the river
to practice at. The rear of the mule
was turue I towards the target, and he
was liaeked up to the idgc of the bluff.
The pffLerfl stood aroutu. in a 3emi-circlc,
the Major went up aud inserted a time
fuse in the touch-hole of the howitzer,
j When the lusc was ready the Major lit
I it and retired. In a minute or two the
\ hitherto U'nufU'd mule heard fizzing
j back there on his neck aud it made him (
uneasy. lie reached his head around
to ascertain what was goiug on, and, ?s
he did so. his body turned, and the how
itzer began to sweep around the horizon.
The mule at Ian became excited, as his
curiosity became more and m.>rc intenst,
and in a second or two ho was standing
with his four legs in ? bunch, making
six revolutions a minute, and the how
itxer, understand, threat cuing suddeu
death to every man within half a mile!
The commandant was observed to cliuid
suddenly up a tree; the lieutenants were
seen sliding over the bluff into the river,
us if they didn't cure at all about the
high price of uniforms; the adjutant
made good time towurd the fort; the
Burgeant begun to throw up breastworks
with his bayonet, and the major rolled
over on the ground und groaned. In
two or three mitiuts there wus a puff of
smoke, u dull thud, and the, mule?O,

The legend, as it U called* ."fi>r'vt^lJ
Master Mason, is one of the moat touch
ing and beautiful in the gacat dream of
Ufa. Founded, as it is, upon the mys
teries and ceremonies of the ancient
Egyptians, it has come down to us as
the embodiment and. subsuttieo of Ma
sonry. It is ab impressive elemplifica
tion of the birth, the duties, the death
and resurrection of man. It stamps
upon the intelligent Mason tho sublime
doctrine of the immortality of tho soul,
and it was a wise provision of all Grand
Lodges that degree should never be
mutilated, that it should never bo given
in part only, but should be completed at
every undertaking. To omit this legend
is to omit tho degree itself. The legend
is the grand land-mark, tho unfailing
beucon of Maaonin centuries. It is
never changed; it will admit of op re-<
moval, for it-is a rallying poui', of the
uuiversal brotherhood. It coi voys vo
lumes ot ^bought; and furnishes fooa for
the reflective mind, down to the grave,
sod as ~i~~a? ^??^?,1^
beside any of the produetl >n9 of gonius.
No Mason ever participated in and for
got it; he felt its moral up >n hia soul as
though it were the touch *of divinity,
and when properly understood,it inspires
a solemnity second only to the scenes of
death. Let no inventivo and. tinkering
genius, therefore, over tamper aith the
beautiful legend; it wants nothing added
to it. aud will allow nothing takcu from
"Dolly V ABffBN."?Dolly Varden,
the frmouffte young lady after whom the
fashionable dress for next summer is
named, was the charming daughter of a
London locksmith. Gabriel Varden by
name, and lived in tho reign of George
ITT. She afterwards bees mo Mrs. Joe
Willet. For f?rther information, we
would respectfully refer certain inquirers
to a certain beek called . "Burnaby
Rudge," written by one Charles Dickens,
an author of some local reputation.
Whether the lady in question was given
to wearing materials of a startling* load
color and pattern, this deponent has no
knowledge or information sufficient to
form a belief. About a year ago, how
ever, some inspired modiste rechristencd
what was then kuorn "cretennes," and
called them ' Dolly Var Jens." The name
was first confined to chintzes, but it
spread to other materials. At a late
dry goods exposition, "Dolly VarJcn"
silks were exhibited, nnd now whole
costumes whose like vote uevcr seen on
sea tr shore, are named after the eh inn
ing and coquettish little daughter of a
London locksmith.
Good Sjons for thr South.?The
Southern papers are filled with adver
tisements of land fertilizers, and the
merchants appear to be cofapetinggreat
ly for the rale of them. Tho demand, it
seems, it? something quite extraordinary
in the South, and is an encouraging
sign for tho beginning of the planting
season. It is cvideuco that if the lands
uro worn their owners aro not disposed
to leave them in that condition.
Proprietors of small cotton milU in
tho North aro beginniug to discover
that there is some truth in the idea of
concentrating their resources', aud thoro
are indication* that during tho present
sprirfg a nftgaf cumber of that class of
msmrtffacturerS are preparing to carry
their machinery into factories in the old
cotton districts. Thoy will save freight
ou the raw material, they will get
fresher and cheaper labor, and they will
find unrivalled natural a-_,oncius. With
improved and reinvigorated fields, and
with a home market for eetton aud
labor, the South can get along very well,
without much polities. .
