The following story, saya the Waah- Ington Capital, ia true in every detail A milliner of respectability married a dissipated tailor, who abased, neglected and abandoned bar. Several years hav ing paasad without a clew to bis wherea bouts her friends advised divorce and her acceptance of an advantageous offer of marriage. The Woman persistently declined every offer, and when she had accumulated a sufficient sum started oil in the direction her husband was sup posed to have taken when he left her. At Halifax, N. IL, she received a slight clew, and took the steamer to Portland, Me. Thence she followed his track to New York, where ahe ceased for many teonths to hear from him Finally she found that he was working in Albany, for which place ahe immediately started. 8be was about a week too late; ha had been discharged for drankenneaa. Spend ing her days at lucrative work and her evenings at detective service, the un wearying wife at length dieeovered that he wee employed by a large firm in Chieagw. She wrote there, and was an swered that bar kaaband had gobs *w»y, nobody knew where. Not satisfied with this, she traveled to that fltty and ran sacked every euheetn intefeeted in the tailoring bostneea there, until ahe mat a fellow-countryman who said that her from, wee ia pot no an- CHAHQKB tn UKtrs CLOTHING. It is ourions to note how great are the changes in men’s costume. Looking only at one detail, the waistcoat, which, last century, was the cauce of endless extravagance, we find that it is now of the utmost simplicity and is, for the most part, hidden by the coat But the wair t coat had its day. There was a time when dandies made it a matter of pride to have dozens—nay, score#—of wsist- coats. In Germany, during the last cent ury, the luxury was considerable, and the love of display incalculable. One of the Ministers under Frederick the Great used to boast that he had 800 waistcoats and 900 wigs. “Bo many wigs and so little head,” said Frederick the Great, speaking at him. Men of positions were required to have a posi tive museum of waistooats in tba eight eenth oentury. There ware cloth waist coats, silk waistcoats, waistooats in vel vet, waistooats in eloth of gold. The waiatooat wae a work of art, n painter’s oatfvas filled with subject*.

IOWA. It will surprise many to learn of the singular political changes the State of Iowa has undergone. Originally, by virtue of Hie discovery of Marquette, Iowa became a possession of France. Afterward it was transferred to Spain by secret treaty in order to prevent it (idling into the power of England. By the treaty of St Hdefonso in 1800 lows became French soil once more. Then in 1806 came the Lonfariana purchase by which the United States gained title to the great tract of land west of the Mississippi and including the present State of Iowa. A temporary Govern ment was immediately formed, and what now ooastitates lows wss part of a dis trict placed under the jurisdiction at Indiana. Afterward Iowa pssesd through nioos changes, being first e part at the Territory at Missouri, then at Mich- igsn and lastly at WisrmuMa.

Bret Harte’s peculiar horror is the poem that made his reputation, “ The Heathen Chinee.” To a friend who once made a quotation from it in hh hewing/ ho said i “If yon love me never mention ‘ Heathen Chinee’ in my hearing.

The condition of some of the schools m to light and ventilation is simply de- plorsb^p. Some may be remedied, oth ers will need to be removed and new houses erected in their places. In sev eral school-rooms the light enters al most entirely from the rear, rendering it necessary for the feiOhers to stand facing the windows, while the work of the pnpil is shaded by his own body. I am confident that in all anch rooms great injury is being done to the eye sight of many of the oocupanta. Many rooms oe provided with no means of ventilation. In some the plans adopted have proved failures in part or wholly, while in others no means whatever have been provided save by the doors and windows. During worm weather, when these can be left open, no great barm heed be^dono, hot, Then cold weather requires that they be closed, the foulness of the air become* almost unbearable, and no effort or watchfulness on the part of the teachers can make the rooms fit for use.
