THE HEARTRENDING CELEB of the men on the prairie, the smothered appeals of the dying within the car, the roar of the flames, and the howling of the animals, made the scene terrible beyond description. The odor of roasting flesh, the distant cry of the coyotes added to the general horror of the scene. The voices of the dying grew fainter and soon ceased. Meantime the engine had gone to Greely for assistance, and it returned with Dr. Jesse Hawes. Many of the rescued in being pulled through the small window had their limbs broken, joints dislocated. Hands and feet were found burned ed, and roasted trunks of bodies were found in one place, legs in another, and piles of roasted, shrivclled cnrcases were pulled out of the ruins. At daylight a flat-oer carried the charred bodies into Greely i'or interment. The burned bodies were placed in a huge oofiin seven feet wide and ten feet long in Greely cemetery. Rev. Mr. Reed, l’resby- terian Church, conducted services. A coroner empannelled a jury who were unable to learn the cause of the fire or any import» ant facts, as the managers, with the re- mainder of the company, left immediately for Golden to fill the afternoon engagement. It is impossible to get 9. complete list of the dead, as many were engaged but a day or two and were unknown. llmrul 01 Britain 0m nly Shown in lic- publicnu Circles. A London cablegram say s: The hatred of England, which is always latent in France, has now become rampant, and every movement on the part of the English Government furnishes n. text for a tirade in the Paris papers. All the preparations for the autumn expedition in Egypt are. in the mirds oi the French editorial writers, only added proofs of the proverbial perfidy of Albion. They say that Mr. Gladstone only waited until the termination of the Egyptian conference and the rising of Parliament to put in operation a plan which he had long contem- plated, and which means no less than the absorption by England not only of the fertile Soudan, but of all Egypt. One paper says that Disraeli earned his earlship and the gratitude of the Queen by making her the Empress of 'India, and that now Mr. Gladstone is tre- mulously following in a greater rnan’s foot- stepa. Heis trying, the writer says, to capture Egypt and cares nothing for the loss of life, of treasure or of honor that may be involved, if only he can add this other bauble to the diadem of his aged mistress. The most scurrilous article that has yet appeared is published in La France, a paper which has its circulation entirely among republicans, and is supposed to reflect in some degree the views of Presi- dent Grevy. The article indulges in the most disgusting personal abuse of the Queen and the Prince of Wales. The screams of those unable to get through the blockaded aperture were terrifying. In the wild glare ot the flmmes the sight of the burning Victims outside, who, writhing in agony, caused the wild beasts in the adjoin- ing car to become frantic with terror, muk- making the scene appalling. The per- formers, who occupied the rear cur, glued with white faces upon the awful spectacle. In the midst of the confusion three heroic souls appeared equal to the occasion and bravely cut their way to their companions, to find them already in the agonies of deeth. Albert Luke. in charge of the animals, and his friend Kent walked over the cactus in their bare feet pouring buckets of oil on the hlistered unfortunates and wrapped them in blankets. An old Pacific Coast soldier, named McDonald, formerly of Forepaugh‘s show. was terribly burned, the flesh hanging in shred. An Ottawa despatch says: The work of deepening the Welland Canal to a, uniform depth of fourteen feet will be proceeded with at once. Dredging will have to be done at the summit, but for the greater part of the distance the object will be ac- complished by raising the wells of the present canal. The whole work of increas- ing the depth from 12 to 14 feet will cost about $1,000,000. and there is an appropria- tion of $250,000 now available for the work. The remaining$750,000 will be asked for at the next session of Parliament, It is believed that the work can be carried on without interfering with navigation, and that the whole will be completed in two years or by the 1st July, 1885. A Small Window the Only Means of Escape. A Greely (001.) dospetoh says: The burning or a circus our nine miles north of Greely was attended with indescribable horrors. The burned car was next to the engine in a train of 17 cars containing Orton’s Anglo-American Circus, which left Fort Collins about midnight for Golden, over the Greely, Salt Lake 1% Pacific R: ail The train was nearing Windsor, e lL itll station near Greely, running about 25 mle an hour, when the engineer discovered the car to be on fire and reversed the engine. There were 60 men in the car, arranged in three tiers of berths on either side. The forward side door was closed, and the men in the bunks were sleeping against it. The rear side door was also closed. and the men who awoke discovered the lower unoccupied berth next to it, containing the rubbish, to be on fire. filling the car With smoke and out ting off escape in that direction. The only menus of egress was thiough is small window betWee-n the car and the engine. John Pine, cf Edgerton, Wis, and Elmer Miilett, lowe, crowded through the opening and tried to pass in water from the engine tank. Owing to the suffocating gases it was difficult to arouse the sleepers. Some were kicked and bruised in a shocking manner, and A cablegram from London says : “ The discovery of the naked body of a young girl about 8 years old,with comely face, long brown hair, fine dark eyes and white teeth, in the small garden in front of a. house in the fashionable and deoorous suburb of Maida Vale, which Mary Ander- son affects, has created a sensation, and renews the talk about the number of undetected mysteries in London. The annual police report mentions that last year the loss of 12,441 children under 10 was reported, and though only six were unrecovered, this, with 130 adults who cannot be traced. and 30 dead bodies picked up in the streets and unidentified, makes a. bad yearly total of sinister mysteries. Major F. C.Denison, of the Gavernorr General’s Body Guard, has been offered the command of the Canadian contingent of the (300 voyagers to co-operate with Gen. Wolueley in hi-e Egyptian campaign, and has accepted the diet. The Major will leave for England on the 13le prox. He owes the present prefcnnent to the fact thin he was wde-de-camp to General Wm! seley in the Red River expedition in 1870, and WM; one of his most trusted offiaara.

HEARTRENDING SCENES WITNESSED. .OPIIUBIA IN FRANCE. A CIRCUS HORROR. Deepening Iln'o \Volinml Unnnl. PITCHED OUT OF THE WINDOW. Lost in London. 'Ili English War China, now that it has determined to adopt General Woleeley’s plans for the autumn relief expedition to Khartoum, seems dirpmed to adopt every proposition that can lead to the safety and success of the enterprise. The latest idea of the officials at the Horse Guards is very novel. It is proposed to procure from Liberia, on the wait ooast 0t Africa, three hundred Kroomen, who are to act as “ hewers of wood and drawers of water ” for tie British soldiery. The idea is that these men, who come from one cf the worst climates in Africa, and one that is almost invariably fatal to Europeans, will be able to do much of the hard work re. quired, without suffering from the climate of the Sondan. The international charac- ter which the expedition will assume with these allies is the subject of numerous jokes and cartoons in the comic papers,one of which represents the British Grenadier riding Pick-s-baok on a naked blaekamoor. The commissary supplies are declared to be as curiously assorted as the motley crew they are intended to feed. They include large quantities of comprtssed beef from a Chicago firm, canned vegetables, condensed milk and hams preserved in parafin. A London cablegram says : The un- nouncement that Gen. Wolseley is to start for Egypt has caused a considerable flutter in Penn, where it is believed that his em’ ployment betokene a. much more vigorous policy on the part of the English Govern- ment in Egypt. The French papers say that the increased force is sent, nut to release Gen. Gordon, but to take poaeemion of the country. How far the Government shares these views in mt known, but an important deepulah has been telegraphed to Baron De Course], the French Ambassaâ€" dor at Berlin, and M. Barrera. the French representative at Cairo, who has been on a. visit to Paris, has been ordered to return at once to Egypt. The Government; is expeditingthe deper- bure of an increased number of reinforce- ments for Egypt. The staff at Woolwieh has been increased and additional hands have been engaged to put the transports in readiness es rupidly as possible. It hae been decided to increase the expedition for the relief of Gordon to 7,000 men. Seven hundred Royal Scots Will be despitehed from the Went Indies. The rest of the troops will go from Gibraltar, Mellie. and Cyprus. Four hundred more river boats have been ordered. The British newspapers approve cf the deeputeh of Lord Woleeley to Egypt. The efficer announcement of his appointment says the pnpurations which have been in progreeeflor home weeks for the expedition up the Nile resemble, in a. great degree, those adopted in 1870 for the Red River expedition, which gave Lord Wolseley an experience which no other ofi’ieer possesses. Lord Wolseley’e appointment is due to the statement of General Stephenson that the present plan {or the campaign via the Nile ie impracticable. The rebels last night removed two mines which had been laid near the town of Sua- kim for exploding when they attack the get- rieon. They also captured three dhows near the harbor and killed four sellers. The dhewe escaped and have gone fifty miles south,where the rebels have collected a. letge force. The man-ol-War Condor will proceed there. A London csblegmm says : The expedi- tion hr the relief of General Gordon is to be on smuch larger scale than at first contemplated. The War Office has con tructcd for 400 more hosts on the Nile, they being rcnderrd ntceesuiy by the huge additional contingent of troops which it is now decided shall be sent. This ehsnge of plans is due t) the stipulations of Lord Wolseley, who, when requested by the Government to take the chief command, made its. condition that the expedition should be on 9. scale adequate to the difficulties to be encountered. Orders httve been scnt off tJ-dey to employ extra. hands at Woolwich and Deptfiord, who will Work day and night until the requisite stores are ready and on board. Notwith- standing General Wolseley‘s recently pronounced opinion in fever of shortened enlistments and youthful soldiers, he now insists that the corps shall consist only of heubomd veterans, not likely to succumb to lctigne in a. tropical climate. The increased force is required to hetp open the line of communication from Wudy Hslfa. tof§Khurtoum, and to chastise any rebellious‘tribes likely to attack the expediâ€" tion in the rear. Lord Woleeley will start for Egypt on Sunday. The rebels uttemgted to capture Kbar» toum on the 12613, and continued the whack until the 14th, When Gen. Gordon cleverly outflanked them.

When Katie was 10 years old her parents removed from Charlottetown, P. E. L, to Halifax. Four years later she meagre acquainted with George Mo])onald,' of Summereide, and they Were married. They did not live happily together,‘ and after five months parted. Not‘ long after she became infatuated with a young man named Maynard, who had been keeping company with her.

Five weeks after her departure he came here and they agreed to marry. Bannister heard that hielntended had kept company With other parties, and asked if i there was any truth in the story. She denied it, and on Saturday last they were married. The mother, learning of the wedding, came to Boston and informed the police, when tho girl was arrested for bigamy.

BIGANIOUS IiA'l‘] EC DUNN. VOL. XXVII. A photographer of this czty communi- cated with the Salem county authorities on the day of the funeral, asking for per- mission to take the dead girl's photograph for the purpose of discovering the murderer in Ella Watson’s eyes. The hope was based on the French criminal detcction system. In cases of sudden and violent death under certain circumstances the retina of the eye retains an impression of the last object seen at the instant death ensues. This impression has been repro- duced by the camera, and in several instances has led to important disclosures. It was hoped that Ella Watson’s dead eyes would disclose the face of her murderer, but it was too late, as the photograph was taken a few hours after death. Agentle- man of this city once had a cow shot and immediately after the animals eyes were photographed on a small place which was then enlarged. A man was distinctly visi- ble in the act of shooting. Memorial service was held on Sunday in the Sunday school room at Oakland, of which Ella. Watson was Secretary. She also went to school on week days in the same building. It is situated about one- half mile distant from her home. After a. few remarks were made by Henry Drum mond, of Yorktown, and Louie Wright, the superintendent, and some music by Ella’e former companions, during which the women sobbed, it was agreed t) have a memorial printed and hung upon the wall, which would hand down to the scholars for generations the etory of the crime and the merits of the dead girl. Howard Sullivan, who now lies in Salem jail, cannot account for his time between 6 and 8 o'clock on the night, hbflh Ella Wab- aon was murdered. Neither can he whollv account for the plethora of money with which he went to Atlantic (Lty on an ex- cursion next day. For this much the proecoution should give thanks to old John Elwell, pcrhapa the one Aneemblyman in a. ruml district of New Jersey who ever had detective sense. When the murderer took the girl‘s chicken money from her handker- chief his hands were smeared with her life blood, and in placing the coin in his pocket the lining must have been itiined. Such a. garment is now being hunted for, which may prove an important. clew. She (‘lmnges llcr Mind n: Ihe Church Door nnd Rides 1m “’hh an Old Lover. An Eaton, Ind, report says: The con- gregation gathered at a schoolhouse near here on Sunday expected to Witness the marriage of Miss Annie Fame and Joseph Thompson. The attendance was accord» ingly large. At the appointed hour Miss Poore a; maer in e buggy driven by a young man recognized by many as a former lover. Soon afterward Thompson arrived in a buggy with the minister, and alighted. Miss Poore remained in her buggy. When asked to alight, she coolly told her expectant lover that she had changed her mind, and drove off. Thompson Jumped in his buggy and gave chase, begging her to fulfil her promise. The race was an exalt ing one, in full View of the congregation and the minister, but it was fruitless. Thomp- son returned Without his bride, and the minister left Without a fee. a tavern] Arrests lunarâ€"Strange Suspicious of the Girl’s Fulhn'. The Elle Watson murder case in Salem oiunty, N. J., is still a mystery. Besides William Jones, George Peterson and Thos. SlIukluB, Howard L. Sullivan, a young man who, when the Sheriff offereda reward of $10 to the fifldtl' of the stump from which the club had been cut to do the fatil deed, went to the spot and claimed the money, was also arrested. The funeral services were solemn and impressive and were attended by a large number of people. Carriages to the number of several hundred surrounded the unhappy domicile. It was utterly impossible for all the people to hear the sermon, and so a. large number of those present set on berrels, boxes and boards placed under fruit trees. Rev. N. J. Wright, a Methodist minister of Woodsâ€" town N. J,, preached the sermon. Thai qiri’s body lay in a coffin in the parlor, and surroundingit were choice flowers of all kinds. A man’s sobs broke the stillness of the OCCEHIOD. It was Ella‘s big sun-burned brother weeping over her sad fate. Her mother set in the next room, her face swollen and wet with tears, but near the ooflin, With head bowed and in silent grief, set her gray-haired tether. It was s. Hid sight. When the minister touchingly reâ€" hated the sad incident connected With the girl’s death several persons wept bitterly. The preacher could not restrain his wrath at this point and fairly shouted the words: “ Why this excitement in our midst? The answer is, because, though accustomed to reading of such foul crimes, yet we never realized fully until the present the damnable, hellish nature of the deed.” He then in- voked ” the punishment of hell-fire on the murderer, if that of the rope should escape him.” ” The providence of God has nothing to do with this dear girl’s death,” he said, “ or else God himself is the murderer.” The thoughts of the men who hoard him were not of honoring the dead, but, by their own confession, of lynching the man Whom they thought was the murderer. A Canton, Miss., despateh says : Numer- ous attempts have been made during the past six months to wreak the trains of the Illinois CentralReilroed near Duck Hill, seventyâ€"six miles north of this point. One of the wreckere named Cooman was arrested and lodged in jail six weeks ago. Since then a stranger was arrested and placed in the same cell with the wrecker. The two became intimate, and the wrecker made a confident of the stranger, confessing what he had done and telling who his oonfederatee were. Yesterday the stranger ~who turned out to be a.

Stanley, the African explorer, describes a strong man he met there who was [3 feet 5 inches, and rather disproportionately slender. He could toss an ordinary man ten feet in the 8.11: and catch him in his descent. He would take one of the large Muscat donkeys by the ears. and with a sudden movement of hi5“; right foot lay the surprised ass on lJlE’, back. He could carry a 3‘year-old bullock half way round his master's plantation. Once he actually bore twelve men on his back, shoulders and chest, in distance of 300 feet.

RICHMOND IIILL THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1884. onlulhlng l ilu- nu Alhltle. Etiquette is rigidly observed. A young girl walking in the street mutt not turn her head round; nor at home is she to glance slyly at visitors. She is to remem- ber, moreover, that girls who are always laughing and talking are not esteemed, and that virtuous women have been honored from the earliest times. The philosopher Mendza grieved when he saw his mother break her shuttle; the women Tnoun threw herself on a sword in order to save her husband’s life ; the mother of .30, being so poor that she could not buy writing mate- rials,t«uught her son to read 51y tracing characters in the send. Women should be able to read, write and uee the counting machine, so as to be in a position to direct ahoueehold. They should read books of piety and stories of morelity in action, while avoiding love poetry, songs and anec- dotes. Women should be reserved; and they are cruelly enjoined never to occupy themselves with other people‘s affairs. Men ought never to talk d domestic matters, while women should never talk of un3tning else. When a. visitor is in the drawingwroom, the lady of the house should not be heard raising her voiceiu the kitchen. Women are not to paint their faces and wear striking colors, for the insufficient reason that it they do men will look at them. Young women, as well as young men, are to be dutiful to their parents, and always in agood humor, even when their father and mother are not. China. is, in short, a. country of primitive manners and primitive morals, veryhimple, brquu1{and picturesque. How far the American version of the Chinese funeral difiers from the Celestial original may be judged from the following account, which is kindly furnished by Mr. Frederick Garman, of the State Board of Health,and for many years a resident of the Flowery Kingdom. On the death of a Chinaman the relatiws are notified of the sad event, and repair to the house to con» dole with the bereaved. The eldest son immediately proceeds, bowl in hand, to the nearest well or river, to procure water with which to wash the remains of his father. Some money is carried in the bow], and thrown into the well, or river, so that it may appear that the Water is pur- chased, and not the gift of charity. The, body is then attired in the most costly robes possible, to produce the impression of rerpgotability in the spirit world, and is placed in the coffin with a fan in one hand and a piece of paper in the other, upon which a Chinese prayer is written. The coffin, which is called the “ longevity boards,” is constructed of stout planks, three or four inches thick, rounded on the top, and resembling, when finished, the trunk of a tree. Into this the body is laid, resting upon a lining of lime. The edges are closed with mortar to guard against the escape of any offensive odor. It is thus an hermetically sealed casket. This home for the dead is sometimes a costly investment, ranging all the way from $5 to $2,000. When sufficient means are collected to de- fray the expenses of interment (which may not occur for two or three years after death), a procession is formed, headed by a band of sacred musicians, with a coolie sent a long way in advance to scatter paper money by the road, so that the devils can ,be occupied pickingit up long enough to ‘give the body a chance to slip by. The ,ancertral tablet is then sent along, care- ‘ fully inclosed in a Sedan chair and carried on the shoulders of two stout bearers, and accompanied by sign bands, showing the rank and greatness of the deceased. The coffin comes next, after which the mourners follow dressed in white, with white bands around their heads. These usually occupy wheelbarrows or chairs, or are supported upon the arms of strong men, and give expression to their grlef sccumlunt arlcm in the most vociferous strains. On arrival at the grave crackers are fired off, libations poured out, prayers recited, and all the needs of the deceased supplied by burning paper money, servants’ clothes and furniture, which are immc« diater converted by the fire into the identical articles used in the spirit land. China is the country of long tresses and short feet; a country where tea is drank Without milk or sugar, and where two little ivory sticks, skilfully handled between the finger and thumb, replace the fork and spoon ; a country where you call the first man you meet your elder brother; where 1.) ask a bootmaker his address it is neces- sary to ask “ what noble palace” he in. habits; a country Where the creditar has the right to make an insolvent debtor pry his bill with a piece of his flesh, and where the debtor, by way of revenge, hangs him- self at his creditor‘s door ; a country where the son ruins himself to buy a coffin for his dead father, and, covered with a hempen garment. walks backward as he follows his sumptuous funeral; at country where people work for their rice instead of working for their bread, but which is of saith and not of lacquer-work and porcelain; and where, as in other coun- tries, the husband lovrs his wife and the orange-calmed mother loves her slant-eyed children. It is a country, moreover, where the bride attaches great importance to the personal appearance of the bridegroom, and the bridegroom equal importance to the moral qualities of the bride; and the basis of many Chinese dramas, as of dramas in other parts of the world, is the passion of love. Women have been forbidden to appear on the stage since the day when a celebrated actress inspired the Emperor with a fatal caprice. The men,who under- take female as well as male parts, play with good expression, and use a super. abundance of gestures, some of which, , though derived from the observation ot‘ reality, have at last acquired a purely con- ventional value. An actor who, pivoting on his left foot, makes a circular move-‘ ment with his right, is understood to be getting on horseback. To cut the air with armingâ€"whip is so indicate, through the connection of cause with effect, a gallop- ing pace. The exhibition of pieces of gold cloth with wheels painted on them has almost an arbitrary meaning, and signifies that the Emperor is coming. The grave re amound of conical shape. A luoky place is selected, where water cannot reach, or white ante atmck the coffin. The chief mourners approach and kueel before the coffin, knock their heads. and scatter their libwtione freely, and amid a. volley of fire-crackers, the bereaved party take leave of their beloved, and leave him to pursue hm own sweet pleasure “wandering among the genii.”â€"Albany Argus.

Double aprons are seen on French dresses; them are sometimes of one material, but may also be of the two fabrics combined 1n a dress ; the short upper apron us of the materiel oi the waist, and ends on the hips; the second lower apron is figured or striped, and is draped to follow the curves of the uypar one and form a. sort of border for it, There is a. tendency to widen all dress skirts by putting full breadths in the back, and making straighter side and front breedths, fashioning them much broader at the top than the closely gored breedths formerly used. When velvet is used for the collar of woollen basques, asmall quantity of it may re- appear in lengthwxee folds in the back of the basque. My friend Lily saw some very pretty dresses at alarge garden party given the other day near Versailles, France. One, worn by the Comtesee de Bressao, was com- posed of a mauve-satin short sklit, veiled with white lace. Two violet velvet panels started from the waist on either side, and were tied in a loose knot at the bottom of the shirt behind; the bodice, high up to the neck behind, was of mauve satin, and open in front; a. White~lace fichu was crossed over the bosom and tied behind at the waist. The elbow sleeves were of lace. The bonnet, with a very high crown, and a sort of pent-house aspect in front, was of white lace shaped by gold wire, and had cost the enormous sum of £11! On the penthouse was a huge oockade oi violet velvet mixed with lace. Bonnets {or the Near Future. Clara Belle writes from New York: “I fell in yesterday with two girls from Long Branch and one from Newport, who had come to town to get an idea of what the millinery of the immediate future is going to be. We went to several of the best importers and makers, and here are some of the things we found out: The new felt bcnnets have taken the fancy of the buy- ers,and the market will be flooded with them next month. Women are tired of velvet, which has been in fashion summer and winter for so long, and all the possible changes seem to have been rung on fancy bonnets. Every sort of material, thin and thick, plain and figured, has been used for bonnet crowns, and without this return to felt the chspeaux of the coming season must only, so far as material is concerned, have been repetitions of what was worn during the last two winters. Said one milliner on whom we called: ‘An objec- tion to felt bonnets was their stiffness and their obligation to keep the shapes provided by the trade and which. however large, could never have the diversity of the buckram form produced by the milliner herself, who always managed to put something peculiar or personal into it. The same objection used to be brought against straw, and has been met in the same way. You have seen how the crewns have been removed from straw hate or bon- 3 net-5 and crowns in gathered muslin or lace j substituted for them, and how flat Leghorn lflaps have been twisted, folded, plaited into Inatty little capotes or broad-brimmed 1granny bonnets. The new felts are sub- mitted to the same process. They are turned about, folded, out, until they no longer resemble what they were than the capote or granny does the Leghorn flap. Their first success will doubtless be due in part to this, and they are likely to be main- tained in fashion much longer on account of it, as there need be hardly any limit to these modifications. Men would laugh at the idea of high art in millinery, but you girls understand how sensitively expressive of good or bad tasteâ€"how harmonious or inharmonious to the head it is worn on~â€"a bonnet may be.’ ” A popular skirt revived from the fashions of a few years ago has three-aide pleated flounoes that cover the back breadths from the belt to the foot, while only the lower flounce goes all the way around ; an apron then covers the plain space in front, and is make with a long point at the middle meet the foot, and is broadened, full and wrin- kled at the top to extend back on the tour- nure and meet the upper flounce of the back. The waterfall polonaise ise favorite, and is very similar to the princesse dresses that are made with a basque and apron in front, while the back is in continuous prin- cesse forms. In such polonalses the ful- nesa of the straight pleats of the back is sometimes added merely in the two middle forms, and falls thence in two very large box pleats laid in double or in triple folds quite etralght from the tournure to the toot, while others have four pleats that are single box pleats, two of which are ex- tended from the side forms. The woollen dresses imported for street suite for the early autumn are distinguished by severe plainness in design and in trim- mings. depending for their beauty on the fine fit; or the acreage, and the graceful flowing lines of the skirt and Its drapery. The corsege may, If preferred, be a. simple round waist without basque or sash, merely finished by a. belt ribbon with front bow: Cheviot, or cloth dresses may be bor- dered with rows of braid, or with the inter- lmked rings of braid that may be had in pueeementerie that closely represents braiding done by hand ; a border for the foot of the skirt is now also made of very large lapping rings of braid or of galloon, and a. narrower border to match trims the apron drapery. Basqqu are made in habit fashion for stuff dresses, with the back shaped in a. narrow square, and the postilion pleats pressed as flat as possible; the sides are then very short, and the front may be sharply pointed, or else rounded, and only a. trifle longer than the sides. Silver braid in rows or rings will be the stylish tnmming for black cashmere dresses. For late summer wear this same milliâ€" ner showed us imported kaDOtB and bats and braid an inch wide, woven of very large old straw. This braid, though heavy in effect,is indeed very light, and in the pale golden tint of freshly ripe straw it is exceedingly handsome. A little Englin‘i oapote made of it is bound on the edge of the brim with black velvet, has black velvet strings, and posed high on the left side is a dense cluster of lialfbpened pink moss- rose buds. Most of the chapeaux intended to be worn as long as the fine weather lasts are in black. brown or variegated straw, the colors being mingled like the streaks of Venetian glass, brown, crimson, olive, beige and gray being particularly prominent.

While at Holey, Idaho, a few days ago Cole’s huge elephant, Samson, severed his chains and started t) attack hie keeper, who made a hasty retreat. A cage of lions stood in the way of the infuriated animal and he picked it up and hurled it to one side, killing two horses. He then struck a. pile of lumber and scattered it to the winds. By this time there was a genuine furore. The oirous people called on the crowd to shoot the elephant, and a lively firing began, but without appreciable effect. Finally a. party of men succeeded in roping the beast and he was quieted. Thirty bullet holes were found in his hide. The damage done by him amounted to $10,000. Lord and Lady Roaebery will entertain a large company at Dalmeny to meet the Prince and Princess of Wales. black and brown straw bonnets have come in for the autumn. They are mostly trimmed only with ribbon bows, and perhaps a flower beneath the brim. Bows of brown ribbon, mixed with palest pink and ecru-â€"the double-faced satin being of the two colorsâ€"make nice trim- mings for the brown straws, and green, with a little pink or crimson, for the black. Such simple decorations are pre- ferred by women of taste to the grasses in which hovered insects of all sorts, and even small green velvet lizards and frogs disport themselves. Upon my word, when I tried to lunch in a city restaurant the other noon, a woman across a narrow table lowered her head, bringing a nasty lot of reptiles before my eyes and nose; my blood turned into wriggling horrors, and my meal was spoiled. Happily, there seems to be an undercurrent leading towards the adoption of flowers, and I am glad to predict their use for small bonnet trimmings this fall and winter. Smooth felt in bonnets and hats will be in vogue for early’autumn. We shall have in hats ass leading shape a modification of the Henry 111., with the brim projecting in front. A sort of compromise with the bonnet is seen in a large head-dress which not inaptly reminds the observer of a great truncated funnel, with the mouth tilted in front and pared off at the back, or. a modi‘ ‘ fication of the Mother Hubbard bonnet, which may become a hat at the will of the ‘ modiste. Expect not praise without, envy until you are dead. Honors bestowed on the illusâ€" trioue dead have in them no admixture of envy ; tor the living pity the dead ; and pity and envy, like oil and vinegar, assimilate not. Educate all the faculties and propensities of children ; but. above all, see that the conscience, the balance-wheel of the moral system, is trained unto perfect accord with the principles of positive truth and absolute justize. The following anecdote of Artemua Ward is related by a Waterford, Me., correspond< out: Mr. Abbey, Manager of the Opera. House in San Francisco. at one time tele- graphed to him as follows : “ A. Ward : What will you take for twelve nights in San Francisco?” Ward received the telegram while lying on a. sofa. Without: using he turned it} over and wrote on the back: "Mr. Abbey: Brandy and water. A. Ward.” Latest from Scotland. A lady writes: I think crab apples are good spiced. For7 pounds of crab apples use 3% pounds of sugar, 1 quart of best vinegar, 2 ounces of stick cinnamon, 1 ounce of whole cloves and 2 or three pieces of root ginger. Boil the syrup fifteen minutes before putting in the apples, cook until tender, then remove to glass or stone jars, boil down the syrup one half end pour over the apples. I always select the large, perfect ones, and leave them whole and the stems on, for I think they look much better so. There seems to be nothing which the cholera some will not induce people to do. The last preventive measure taken in France is for men to brim their moustacbes with oarboiio acid, so as to keep the microbes away. It is said that even ladies are using carbolie acid; but; that I can hardly believeâ€"~unleee, by-the~bye, some thoughtful “ perfumer” has succeeded in preparing “ourbclio rouge.” This would, doubtless, be very populzir. To preserve the large plums that have tough skins, it is necessary first of all to remove the skins. This may be done very easily by dropping a few of the plums at a time into hot weter, then with a. very sharp knife removing the skins. Cut the plums in halves, drop them into a. syrup made of sugar and water. The plums should be weighed, and an equal quantity of sugar should be set aside for the syrup. Let them cook so gently that they will keep their shape. Take them from the syrup withuskimmer, put them into the cans and pour the syrup over them, having first removed the scum from it. The Princess do Sagan goes about Paris in a. Pierrotts hat, with a. very high crown, peaked at the top, made of Msnilla straw. In front the brim advances rather over the face, and behind it is turned up and lined with poppy~oolored tulle. A regularshowe: of bows and ends of scarlet and blue ribbon forms the trimming. With this very be« coming but the Princess generally wears a. costume componed of dark blue mohair or delaine and scarlet foulard; the tunic is of delaine, caught up on the side with silver olives. The long pelerine of mohair is lined with scarlet foulard. The hood is lined with foulard and a. cascade 01 ' hens hangs from its points. One of the novelties and luxuries of the period is banana cake. Take one cup of butter, two cups of sugar. one cup of water or of sweet milk, three eggs, four cups of flour, three small teaspoons of baking powder. Mix lightly and bake in layers. Make an icing oi the whites of two eggs, and one cup and a half of powdered sugar. Spread this on the layers, and then cover thickly and entirely with bananas sliced thin. The cake may be flavored with vanilla. The top should be simply frosted. Blackberryjam, as well asif‘Mrry wine, is good to eat in any bowel or stomach trouble. It is medicinal and pleasant to eat. Children will take it gladly at any timc,when medicine would be acorn- fully rejected by the small tyrants. In making blackberry jam, see that the fruit is perfectly fresh, as any acidity will spoil the whole, and you will have had all your work for nothing. After carefully picking over the fruit, and seeing that no foreign substance remains with them, weigh them, and to every pound of the lruit allow halt a pound of nice brown sugar; put the berries into the preserving kettle by them- selves, withasmall cup of water in the bottom to prevent their burning; cook them, stirring frequently, until the fruit seems reduced to an almost solid mass; then add the sugar and cook for half an hour longer; put them in glass jars and seal. Some persons add a litttle powdered ginger to the berries to give a “snap” to thejam, as they say. it does certainly give it a. character, but most persons prefer the jam without any foreign flavor. This jam is nice for tarts, and also to serve for tea or luncheon, with bread and butter. A friend writes word from Trouville, France, that the eecentrioitiee there in head coverings are great. Among other monetrositiee huge eunbonnete are worn, made of all kinds of materials. Inside them you perceive the face of the wearer at a. long distance; and the roof of the edifice is crowned with lizards, beetles, toads, and any repulsive looking animal you may like to suggest. ‘ Sent to Jail lor Painting Ills Dog Yel. low. A London cablegram says: A man with the fatal name of Puckridge fulfilled his manifest destiny by an unpleasant lesson on the danger of too much political zeal. In 1880 he not only were yellow ribbon to prove his devotion to Conservative princi- ples, but painted his dog yellow. The animal, not taking kindly to the paint, sickened and died. Puckridge was prose- cuted by a humane society and sentenced to six weeks’ imprisonment with hard labor. He fled to Boulogne. which fulfils the same functions to English refugees as Canada to American cashiers, but returning recently. in the fond hope that the escapade was for- gotten, is now doing his sentence. A deal of breakage amongst glass and crockery can be prevented by the simple precaution of placing lamp-chimneys. tumblers and such articles in a pot filled with cold water, to which some common table salt, has been added. Boil the water well, and then allow it to cool slowly. When the articles are taken out and washed they will resist any sudden changes of temperature. Pineapples make a. delicate preserve. Slice the pineapple thin, as you would for the table ; to one pound of the fruit. allow three-quarters of a. pound‘of auger ; simmer: them together until the pineapple looks transparent. This preserve, by the way. is a. delicious accompaniment to ice cream. It is nice for tea, also, with rolls or breed and butter. The most glorious exploits do not always furnish us with the clearest discoveries of the virtue or vice in men. Sometimes a matter of less moment, an expression or a jest, informs us better of their character and xnclinations than the most; famou sieges, the greatest armaments, or the bloodiest battles whatsoever. Chair covers (or slips) are very pretty made of brown crash, and worked with woreteds. Work each chair a different design. One with poppy leaves, another acorn and oak leaves, a third scarlet; geranium,a fourth with roses.
