Those who saw him in costume say he was horrible to behold. During the evening, at a time when the gay maskers were having there best joy, this personage was requested to go to the door. There he found a. summons from home to run for a doctor. In the excitement he forgot his im. personation, and rushed to the doctor’s office and rang the hell. The ringing was of such terrific vehemence that it caused the doctor to get out of bed and rush in neglige costume to the door. He took one sudden, hasty glance at the disturber of his slumbers, and then ran. Being an important case, the young man rushed through the doorway and commenced a vigorous search for the fu '- tive physician. He found him under t o bed with a pistol in each hand. It took a long time to convince the doctor that he wasn’t really the personage he represented. EALER IN FINE GOLD AND SILâ€" ver Watches, Jewelry, Jun, 113 Yong. Street, Toronto.

Proprietor, Ingerlbll, During the passage a mock trial was had in the smoking room, and while we presided as Judge, Thomassen acted as foreman of the jury. The case was a breach of promise, brought by a colored maiden against a He- brew, aud we had the fun incident to such affairs on shipboard. \Ve do not remember the verdict brought in by Thomassen, but it was greeted with considerable laughter. v19: .- While amiable and pleasant in his manner, there was a certain reserve that repelled inti- macy. We observed that he was much given to walking the deck alone, and one night, when blowin r rougher than usual, with a blinding rain n'ven along the boat, we sought shelter on the quarter side of the house, above the gangway. It was dark as dark can be, and the huge vessel seemed to tremble as she plunged along in the teeth of the wind, rid- ing heavy head seas. lVe soon became aware of the fact that we were not alone, for a pleasant voice at our elbow asked if we were suffering from sea-sickness. \‘Ve answered in the negative, and added that the wild night had such a fascination for us that it kept us on deck. A “ What do you do that for, air, when the ocean makes the largest sort of a. spittoon all argnd you ‘3 Ladies walk this deck, air." Thomasseu made no reply to this rough demand, but his face indicated an ugly fir ture for the Captain. They seemed to have made it up, however, for afterwards we saw the two in close conversation, pacing the deck together. lVe told him that while starin out into the black night we had thought w at a mere speck our vessel was upon the world of waters, and were we to founder at sea what a little bubble would go down. Thomassen did not seem to take in our idea, but followed with eulogies of the White Star Line, that, he assured us, sailed the safest boats on the ocean. He said the Cunarders had only luck, and one of these days a dreadful disaster would awaken the traveling public to the truth of this fact. He told us that theUCaptain had insulted him in the rossest manner, and when the vessel reache N ow York, where they would be on an equal footing, he intended having it out with him. It seems that Thomassen had been smoking upon deck, and spat upon the painfully clean planks. The Captain, 9. very precise and somewhat dyspeptic officer, ap- proached and said : . V or He retired early, and, as nearly as we could observe, slept the sleep of peace and innocence. As we were given another room, we next saw our companion, to notice him, n‘pon Eicck, ‘bbonixigfluiidei somie‘exciteinent. Once upon a time, a girl was'seated by the wayside, musing somewhat after this fashionj: “Oh, that I had some opportunity to do something to benefit my fellow-beingsâ€"-some- thing that would make, at least, one mortal happy, if only for a short time.” In her hand she held the seed of a dandelion, which she was idly picking to pieces, and watching the bits float away on the breeze. Looking up, she saw aheavy cloud, betokcning a coming Wind-storm, and she hastened homeward, perhaps to bring joy to a weary heart; but we will return to the feathery seeds which the wind caught up and bore on its wings many miles, until one lodged, at last, in a dirt-filled crevice of an old stonewindow-sill. Now, it happened that this window belonged to a prison, and the cell from which it opened being unoccupied, the seed had undisturbed possession, and grew to be a healthy Plant._ “'6 were uttin our part; of the room in order the chi l, dul , rainy afternoon we sail- ed from Liverpool, whom Thomassen entered. Mr. Colchester, the agent at Liverpool, had informed us that our roomdnate was a very agreeable gentleman, and we found him a man six feet in height, powerfully built, well dressed, and a face from which hair and whiskers were brushed back, cleanly shaven, that showed as pleasant a. countenance as one cared to meet. He greeted us kindly, expressed a pleasure at having us as a room- mate, and taking from his valise a box of not the choicest cigars even from England, not only invited us to smoke, but said the box would be found open upon the shelf for our use so long as the cigars lasted. We told him that sen-Sickness put a stop to that com- fort on our part, whereupon he informed us that he had crossed so frequently, and been at sea so much, that he did not know any difference in feeling between land and water. “ It must be very rough,” he said, “ when I cannot shave myself every morning.” w A. 1 ‘ . . One day the prison door was opened to ad- mit a Woman Whose hands were stained with blood. She had spent many years on this beautiful earth, but all beauty had departed from her life, she had gone so far in the downward path. She came and went as she was bid, but remained sullen, fierce, and 1111- moved alike by kindly acts of comrades and gentle persuasions of the gentle-hearted chaplain. One day she spied, in her Window, a dandelion in blossom ; shegazed at it a. mo- ment, and burst into tears. Her mind went back to the time when she was ahappy child of a. Christian mother ; when gladaome hours were spent in careless glee, and her favorite sport was to curl dandelion stems, and string In stowing away our luggage we were struck with the quantity of parcels our room- mate had to arrange, and among the others, if memory serves us, were two queer-looking boxes that would not go under the berths, and were noticed because so much in the way. These, we have since learned, disap- eared shortly after leaving Queenstown, and ( oubtless one was the deadly clock, wound up and adjusted for the ship’s destruction, and our room-mate succeeded in securing the insurance he sought in Liverpool.

[Donn Platt in the Washington Cupital.] As time wears on that curious mental pro- cess called memory, left to itself, recalls many events connected with our pleasant roomdnate, the dynamite fiend, Thomassen. There was one singular fact connected with the affair that we would wish to have ex- plained. We remember, on leaving Liver- pool, being somewhat discontented at find- ing ourself in the same stateroom with an- other passenger, while two or three staterooms were vacant. Making our troubles known to the purser, he calmed us by saying that after leaving Queenstown we would have the room to ourself. ‘Vhy he should say this we ‘ never learned ; but the day after our stop at 1 Queenstnwn the purser gave us the choice of a. room yet vacant, and we left Thomassen to the enjoyment of the premises alonc.

The rand Duke Nicholas, the Emperor’s brother, is the person chiefly unhappy. He is forty-five years old and is inspector-General of the Russian engi- neers. The story is told by one of the corres- ondents. For some years past he has been eeping up “irre lar” relations with a cer- tain Mme. Chislo , whose ostentatious ways have shocked the ropriety of St. Peters- bur . At a rand inner recently given by the mperial uards at Moscow, Mme. Chis- lon went so far as to send a com limentary telegram to the officers from St. lietersburg with a toast. It seems that is a privile e re- served for the imperial family, and the igh- born soldiers of t e guards could not put up with Mme. Chislofl‘s impertinence. be their colonel formally complained to the Emperor and the result is that, while Mme. Chisloif has been sent to her seat in the country, the Grand Duke has been ordered to the Crimea. He is said to have lavished 8,000,000 or 10,- 000,000 roubles upon this lady during the last eight or ten years. A FOUR-YEAR-OLD boy, by the name of James Martin Williams, is crammed with dates, figures, facts, and a volume of lore, such as ordinarily requires a life-time to ac- quire. In history he is a very encyclopedia of knowledge. The ancient kings, their wars, the rise and fall of the Roman Empire, the career of Bonaparte, the times of the death and the age of the rulers of England, the settlement of the country, and similar facts are as familiar to him as the alphabet to an older person. He can name the capital of every County in the Province, and of every foreign country. He repeats whole chapters of the Bible and speaks in a. childlike man- ner, just as though rattling oil" the veriest common-place remarks of other children of his age. The first indication of this marvel- lous faculty came to his parents in this way. They are religious people, and each morning read from the scriptures before prayer. Shortly after the exercises one morningâ€" several months agoâ€"his mother was as- tounded to hear him repeating, word for word, the lines from the Bible which he had heard read an hour or so before. She called himto her and found that he could recite other portions of the holy book. She coin- menced teaching him his letters, and in an hour and a half he had learned the whole. He progressed with wonderful rapidity, and soon could spell. A physician was consulted, and advised them to keep the boy away from books and not permit him to study, as his health would not allow it. Since that time he has been read to by his father, and now remembers ever thing he has heard. His parents are peep e in ordinary circumstances, and cannot in any way account for the re- markable memory of their child. GEORGE DREW, of Green Island, W'iscon sin, recently discovered, about half a mile from the island, the body of a man stretched out on the ice, with his henl'cau ht between two layers of ice, one on hp 0 the other, and where there had evid<$f been a. crack. The man had been dead ie time, as the body was cold and stiff. Near it was a sled. An examination of the position of the body of the man, Vesteen by name, had stooped to drink, lying down for that purpose. While drinking, a sudden movement of the ice closed the crack, the side opposite to him rising .and‘ sliding a. little way o_v_er_ the side on which he was: just far afid high enough to catch and hold his head as in a vice, suf- focating him, as was shown by the fact that the face, neck and breast were black. ’l‘ne Interior is indignant over the discovery by an elder of Bulwer's “ Last Days of Pom- peii ” in a Sunday school library ; and says that “ there is no pretence of reli ious teach» ing " in Bulwer’s writings, an that they ought not to be given to Sunday school chil- dren for Sunday reading. The chief difficulty with a great many of the Sunday school books prepared for children is that they have a pretence of religious teaching, and that having this pretence they are without the reality. Much of our Sunday school library literature is weak lollipop, and not half as good as the works of Bulwer, or Dickens, or many another author of good fiction, Dr. VON BULow said in Chicago, “I tell you, the only reason why I play Beethoven, Schumann, Mendelssohn, and all these, is because the gigantic ignormus with the in- evitable beer glass~the Gennan music- teacher in Americaâ€"has interpreted so many of these badly. I would rather from choice play \Vagner and Liszt." AT a recent press dinner in London, one Gruneisen, a veteran journalist, is reported to have made this curious statement: “I have had leading articles from Mr. Disraeli in my hands, and," he added (the reporter says, amidst loud cheers and laughter). "I have rejected them.” A DUCHESS once drove up to the door of Sir J. Y. Simpson, and sent the footmtm to tell him that she waited without. “ Tell the Duchess," he returned, “ that Dr. Simpson is engaged with a washerwoman." THE grave of Prof. Fichte, in Berlin, is surmounted by an obelisk, with this inâ€" scription: IN British India. fifty-four native mission- aries belonging to the Church of England are regularly at work. In the Tinnevelly dis- trict there are about 60,000 converts in Christianity. The wayside mZLiden lived on, ignorant of what she had been the uncbnscious instru- ment of accomplishing.

PERSONAL A STRANGER’S STRANGE DEATH. On Saturday morning the old story was re peated. John Stokes was found dead in his room on North Fourth street. He was a resident of Montreal, Canada, and had been in this city but a few weeks. About eleven o’clock a heavy fall was heard in his room, and he was found lying on the floor with his head resting against the bed, It was sus- pected that he had committed suicide, but no traces of poison could be discovered. He had been drunk ever since he arrived here, and on Saturday had been drinking heavily. ENTERPRISle “M. n.’s " 1x TROUBLE. At the police station on Saturday we were again reminded how easily some people are swindled. Lawrence D. Peyton and David Kennedy, both of whom give a finish to their names by flourishing at the end thereof the announcement “ M. D.," were charged be- fore Ald. Carpenter with swindling Andrew Eckhurt, an unsophisticated St. Louis Ger- man, out of some of his highly-prized kreutz- ers. Andrew received a note from Beyton, requesting him to come to Dr. Kennedy's of- fice in South Ninth street. Andrew obeyed the request, and Kennedy offered him for the sum of $800 a one-third interest in the “ Pa- tent Oxygen Treatment,” with the exclusive right to sell the same infallible remedy in St. Louis. Eckbnrt had but $500, and this his would-be partners were satisfied with, he agreeing to give his note for the rest. Sub- sequently, however, he regretted his embark- ation in the oxygenic ente rise, and de- manded back his money. hree hundred dollars were returned to him, and a note for the balance tendered, which he refused to accept. Not being able to obtain any more, he caused their arrest. Kennedy expresses his willingness, but inabilit , to refund at present. They were each held in $800 for a further hearing. Already has the Centennial proved to be a benefit to Philadelphia, especially the travel- ing portion. The l’ennslyvania Railroad Company announce that on the lst of March they will reduce the fair from Philadel- phia to New York to 2.75. They will also issue excursion tickets good for five days, for $5. All other forms of commutation tickets will be withdrawn after that (late. This is an announcement which will be received with pleasure by the large number of persons who requently visit New York. The fare hereto- fore has been $3 25 each way. The North Pennsylvania Railroad has completed their connections and are expecting to run tlirou 11 trains to New York in a few days. Possib y this is what occasioned the reduction of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and should not these two companies enter into a compact, we even hope for better rates. At the President’s reception and at other places during the week a perfect Golconda of the precious gems, and a shipload of the rich- est silks, Velvets, and laces, have been un- folded to our View. Among the diamonds worthy especial notice those of Mrs. Justice Miller have been already mentioned. For several seasons she had the gratification of knowing that she possessed the finest dia- monds of any American lady in \Vashington society, with the exception possibly of Mrs. Fish, who never wears a great number at one time. Mrs. Bridges, the beautiful young wife of the Pennsylvania millionaire, who was in \Vashington last winter, were one of the most magnificent necklaces of solitaire diamonds ever seen, perhaps, upon any lady in our country ; with large solitaire earrings to match. Among other of ourladies possessed of these precious gems, lar e and rich enough to represent a fortune, arefilrs. John C. New of Indiana, a gentle, modest, and altogether charming lady; ' Madame Bouligny, one of our first society ladies, as well as a leader among our literati ; Mrs. Grant and her pretty daughterdn-law ; Mrs. Potter Palmer, of Chicago, whose extreme beauty needs no foreign aid of ornament, but whose extreme wealth must needs show itself to the world in the richest of gems, and velvets, and laces; Mrs. Ronalds 0 New York, whose diamonds are very noticeable ; Madame Bergman, Madame the Baroness de Overbeck, daughter of Mrs. Dahlgren, and Madame Hegerman, the lovely American bride of the Danish Minister. Among forei n ladies Madame Borgsé wears a magni cent bouquet de corsage of diamonds and rubies, exceedin 1 beautiful, together with earrings and mac aces of the same priceless stones. Madame Mantilla The Centennial Committee of the Amer- ican Dairymcn’s Association, have not yet settled matters. On Saturday they received a report from a subcommittee of the propo- sitions to be made to the Centennial Com~ mission, which provided that they should receive permission to sell $10,000 worth of stock, the proceeds to be applied to the erect- ion of a dairy building and that the internal arrangements shall be conducted ta the ex- pense of the Dairyxnen’s committee. But after an animated debate the report was re- ferred back to the committee, with instruc- tions to change it so as to make the Centen- nial commission pay the salary of the super- intendent and his assistant, and also to erect a restaurant. . . . .After the lst of March, the carriages of the Centennial Transfer Com- pany will commence making regular trips from Broad and Chestnut streets, to the Gen- tennial Grounds, every half hour. The num- ber of passengers is limited to ten, and the seats are very comfortable, which will be a relief from riding in the crowded street cars. THE FINE ARTS OF THE CENTENNIAL. Italy will send about one thousand ex- hibitors, and her art department will con-1 tain about two hundred specimens of statu- ary. A colossal statute of Prince Bismarck will be seen in the German art department.

Fomey and the great Centennial work abroad. \Vhen he started from Philadelphia to aid the Centennial in Europe, papers boldly as- serted that he was receiving pay, and that his salary was $10,000 a year. An- ticipating this falsehood before he left the United States, Colonel Forney placed in the hands of his editor a contradiction, in whieh , he said he would receive no pay for his ser- ‘ vices. \Ve now add that in his eighteen months in Europe he has not only paid all his own expenses, but at least half those of the Centennial in the Old W'orld. \Ve also know that, long before his appointment as Centennial Commissioner to Europe, he had resolved to go abroad as the correspondent of his own paper ; but, when he was earnestâ€" ly solicited to act as CentenniahCommissioner, he did so on the distinct understanding that he would not take any compensation.

FORNEY CREAM color will be even more abundantly used next season than it is at present. Im- Rorters show three shades of cream-color in fine tissues, grenadines and damasks.

BUNCHF‘S of flowers are often replaced by birds’ nests ; the effect of little birds placed in moss is very pretty. The hair is also or- namented with birds. The only bouquets which are really fashionable are composed of roses, with dew-drops of diamonds, which are fastened on the left side by diamond or- naments. Homes are more often darkened by the continual recurrence of small faults, than by the actual presence of any decided vice. These evils are apparently of very dissimiliar magnitude; yet it is easier to grapple with the one than the other. The eastern traveler can combine his force and hunt down the tiger that prowls upon his path; but he scarcely can esca e the musquitoes that in- fest the air he greathes, or the fleas that swarm the earth he treads. The dmnkard has been known to renounce his darling vice ; the slave to dress and extravagance, her besetting sin; but the waspish temper, the irritatin tone, rude, dogmatic manners, and the hun red nameless negligencies that spoil the beauty of association, have rarely done other than mceed till the action of disgust and gradua alienation has turned all the currents of affection from their course, leav- ing nothing but a barren track, over which the mere skeleton of the companion- ship stalks along. DRESSES are made in two parts, trimmed skirt and basque, no overskirt. The skirt is puffed across the front, shirred at the side and arranged in two poufs at the back, which fall one below another. The flounces around the bottom consist of two, graduated in depth and Shirred near the top, which is lined with silk and forms a ruflled headin . The edges may be hemmed u or bound wit silk ; or, if the body is of Si] , with velvet. Small caps, mantelets and pelerines will be used to finish these costumes. A YOUNG man from the interior who had been visiting about, came home recently, and at breakfast remarked as he reached the Elate over : “ Father, a little mixture in the rown dish, if you please, and a small piece of the prepared meat.” The old gentleman who is a, plain matterâ€"0f~fact man, replied, as he loaded up the outstretched plate: “\Ve like to have you come a. visitin' us, John, but just remember while you’re eatin’ here, if you “ant hash, say so, and if you want sassage, call for sassage, and not go to spreadin’ on any Brooklyn misery at my table."

TRIPLES FOR THE LADIES Domestic Faults DOWN in Aroostook county, Maine, :1 Scotchman and an Irishman hap )ened to he journeying together through the most in- terminablc forest of that region, and by some mishap had lost their way and wandered about in a. pitiable condition for a. While, when they fortunately came across a miserâ€" able hm'el, which was deserted save by a lone chicken. As this poor biped was the only thing eatablc to be obtained, they eagerly despatched and prepared it for sup- per. When laid before them, Pat concluded that it was insufficient for the support of both himself and Sawncy, and therefore a proposition was made to his companion that they should spare the chicken until the next morning, and the one Who had the most ‘lpleasant dream should have the chicken, which was agreed to.

His church looks outside like a factoryor Ware- house, while inside it is just a. big “meetin‘- house,” with whitened walls and ceiling, and the most l’uritanic absence of adornment. If the ghost of Miles Standish still walks the earth, as Professor Lowell tells us it used to do, We venture to say that it attends Plym- outh Church ; for it will find nothing there at variance with its recollections of old Plymouth, if we except the organ,â€"â€"and that is almost drowned in the grand congrega- tional singing. Nothin else grand or gorge. ous is to be found in "lymouth Church,â€" except in the ulpit. Beecher is a prince of orators. Wit him feeling is redominant. But a. close logic tracks its ootsteps and scrutinizes its foundations. His reasoning is that of a philosopher. He enquires into the cause of things. Nothing is too familiar or Brosaic for his notice that'can possibly aid is enquiry. Prominent among the objects of his attention are the passions of mankind ; and all these passions and everythin that can rouse them furnish materials for h s ora- tory. Hence his style is as manyâ€"sided as the feelings of the heart,â€"now convulsing us with laughter, now compelling us to weep; at one time bringing us into fellowship with the toil of the drut ge, at another with the rapture of the poet. His illustrations, unlike those of Dr. Storrs, all touch some chord of feeling. His voice is in perfect unison with his thomc,â€"sometimes sly with concealed sarcasm, sometimes attuned to the grandest thought or the most passionate declamation, but always perfectly natural. He is some- times charged with being erratic, but we think there is “a method in his madness.” He seems to take it as an axiom that all error is but a distorted form of some underlying truth. Being a lover of mankind, every idea that has compelled the love or homage of human minds has an attraction for him ; and he seeks to discover some reconciling truth which will harmonize these various forms of thought in a higher unity. In this attem t he is not always successful, and from t 3 very breadth and generosity of his tolerance he gives superficia examiners the idea that he is indifferent to the claims of truth. He has a boundless sympathy with human hearts which found its way to ours ; and we left Plymouth Church loving our neighbors better than before, and having a more vivid sense of the mingled love and purity of the goat All-Father, and of Jesus Christ our ivinc-human Elder Brother. ists is right, that the character of our t oughts is revealed in the character of our enunciation, those of Dr. Storrs must be clear-cut, stately, logical, but not devoid of emotion. His sermon is a pyramid of msâ€" sive thought, built securely on a broad logi- cal base, and ascending by unbroken grada- tions to a lofty apex which fronts the very gate of Heaven. He is a. logician rather than a philoso her. The logician asks, “ \Vhat is '5" the phi osopher asks, “ Why are things so ‘2” The illustrations with which his sermon abounds are intended to show things pre- cisely as they are. His emotion folloWS his thought, and is ins ired h it, and like it is grave and deep. is sty e is perhaps too stately, though not at all gaudy, but it is a marvel when We remember that the garb of his sermons is and has been for years purely cxtempore. \Ve left, elevated in thought, and profited. \Vo' ‘had worshiped in}; men- tal temple severer grang If welcxcept thé aeamssjof bone and the self-command which in both cases bespeak phe practised qutorzs, HgnrJ “End Beecher ‘the inorning and Beecher at night.

The service is of a piece with the church. The worshippers there claim that it hits the happy medium between the stately ritual of a. cathedral, and the bareness which is generally supposed to mark Nonconformist worship; and perhaps they are right.
