A FAvoRITE MYSTERY ExPLoDED.-
Every body has heard The story of Mozar,'s
Requiem. The following story, related by
The Paris correspondent Of the Philadelphia
Bulletin, makes short work of the whole
mys,ery,-a mystery which has given rise
to novels, tales, poems, and philosophical
treaties. He says:
The tradition is as follows: Mozart Ian

stranger, dressed in black. How he entered
was past comprehension. He wanted a
Requiem, and would pay for it any sum Mo-

appointed hour the stranger appeared in the
same mysterious manner, and the music
not being finished did the same thing a third

the devil inperson, and died without finishing
the piece.
But his heirs could find it nowhere. II

Royal Marriage in Nicaragua.

The Pcayune gives the following account
Of the nupIials of the Princess Adelaide Clo-
tilda Louisa Quashee. sister of the King Of
the Mosquitoes. in letter from Greytown,
September first:
On the morning Of the welding, three hun
dred half naked Indians made their appear
ance at the main entrance that leads to the
palace. The princess had arisen from her
couch of tigers skins, and was standing at the
main gate of the palace, bare-footed, and de-
vouring a raw plantain. The King soon made
his appearance. and addressed his subjects in
the following elegant language =
me big King. Ny sister go marry nigger.
Me nolike it. Nigger disgrace Indian. Gus
sed shame-I drown myself" His Majesty
could say no more. Overcome with grief, he
entered the palace, threw himself upon pile
of dried hides and there relieved the anguish
of his soul by giving vent to flood of tears.
"Woh !.s said his majesty, "ef me, big King,
feel so much bad cause my sister marry mig
ger, how common Mexican feel when him
dog die?''
The royal palace was tastefully decorated
with highly scented hides. Every prepera-
ton being made for the celebration, the prin-
cess entered the palace hall unattended, ex-
cept by her pet goat. Her beautiful black
hair--greased with possom fat-hung in pro-
fusion over her shoulders, and contrasted tine

right hand she wore rich and costly tn ring,
made from a sardine box. The guests were
all assembled, but the happy lover had not
yet arrived. The princess became impatient
and went 10 seek him. She found him play
ing at marbles. She accosted him thus: "Jim,
weddin' ali ready, and you no cum.'' Jim
replied that he had come to the "clusionnot to

The TOiIet-WOman and Dress.

The TOilet-WOman and Dress.
A late number of the London quarterly Re-
view contains an article on dress, from which
we copy the following for the especial benefit
of our fair readers:
Of course, to the inward eye of the imagi-
nation, the mere name of woman presents a
vision clothed in perpetual youth and lowell
ness, or floating in a region too far above us
to know precisely how she is clothed at all
But to the outward eye of the senses, which
acts as man of BUSINESS to the inner, bothering
it with particulars it never wants to know, it
is not to be denied that there are some of
those visions that appear not beautiful, and
many by no means young.
This being the case a costume expressly
adaped for the display, of natural charms is
hard upon those who never had any to begin
with, or who have parted with them some
time ago. tits like setting fine stone and
an ordinary one, both equally transparent
forgetting that what tests the beauty of the
one only betrays the defects of the other, and
which little dexterous foil might hide
Every jeweller will tell you that it is the
inferior stone that depends most on the set
ting-frst rate ones may stand on their own
merits. We have seen, for instance, some
gray pearls produce most beautiful effect in
brilliant setting of red and green enamel,
which strung plainly like the Salisbury neck
lace, would have been frightful
Dress, by the same rule, is in the setting of
our sweet human pearls-each delicate and
precious, and but increasing in beauty and val
ue the longer they are worn; though not all
valuable or beautiful alike to that same vulgar
outward eye which knows nothing of a jewel
but by its market price. For the young and
lovely, dress is of no importance-they wear
what thdy please, and the less. perhaps the
better, The tappa girdle itself would hardly
embarrass the old and plain more than style
of dress which presumes to be neither the one
nor the other
IT'S for them alone that dress should be
studied Where is the advantage of natur-
al coiffure where there are neither curls of
silk nor coils like marble to display. Where
is the policy of plain simple gown exhibiting
the whole contour of the figure, when there
are anly angles to be seen instead of undula-
tons, and shady hollows instead of sunny
banks? or the advantage of uncovering an
ear which is less like delicate shell than some
poisonous fungus or of showing an arm which
may be like a stick, but certainly not of pink
or coral?

Antiquity Of Free Masonry.

The following brief article from an English
paper, in relation to Solomon's Temple, illus
hates the antiquity of Free Masonry:
Free Masonry, we are informed, was reduc-
ed to rules at the building of Solomon's Tenn
pie, and there is every reason to believe that
some bond of union was nesessary in such a
congregated mass of workmen.
The number of Masons employed in build
ing the Temple was one hundred and thirteen
thousand six hundred, besides the men of
burden, not Free Masons, who amouted to
seventy thousand more.
The footstone of this mighty fabric was lev
eled in the fourth year of Solomon's reign,
the third after the death of David, and the
2oQth year after the passage of the Hebrews
through the Red Sea. The building com
menced in Mount Moriah, on Monday, the
second day of the month of Zef, which an
swers to the 2lst day of our April, and it was
finished in all parts in little more than sew
en- years, on the 9Th day of the Bull; which
answers to the 25d day of October, being the
second month Of the sacred year and the / l tn
of Solomon's reign. Every piece of the edi-
fee, whether timber, stone, or metal, was
ready cut, framed or polished at Jerusalem, so
that no other tool was wanting, no other sound
was heared, than what was necessary to ioin
the several parts together. All the noise of
the axe, hammer and saw, was confined tothe
forests of Lebanon, and the quarries and
plains of Zeredadeth, that nothing might be
heard among the Masons of Zion but harmo-
ny and peace.

DANGER ATTENDING PREcooIoUs DEVELOP
MENT.-There can be no doubt that many a
child has been sacrificed in early youth to the
pride of parents, who delighted with the intel
lectual activity of their children. have striven
to make them prodigias flearning. By these
cases of early and undue employment of the
brain, inflammation of the hemispherical ganglion
or the living membrane of the ventricles, with
serious effusion, has usually been the cause Of
either fatal ISSUE or of subsequent mental
imbecility. The late Mr.. Delvle related an in
teresting case of this kind. An extremely in
telligent boy of about twelve years of age, was
brought to him for chronological examination
by parent who was very proud of the intel
lectual endowments of his child. Mr.. Delvillle
gave his opinion of the boys character at the
same time cautioning the father of the danger
Gus course he was pursuing Butthe fathers
reply was--"All that other boys cosdered la
Dor and hard study were merely child's play
to him; that his studies could not be hurting
to him, he employed them so much" Again
Mr.. Delville endeavored to save the child, but
the father would not attend to the warning.
Two years from that time the father again cal
led on Mr. Delviie, and in reply to his inquiries
about the child, his father burst into tears
his child was an idiot.
