How TO MAKE A FAsHrosanIE BOW,

How TO MAKE A FAsHIoNARLE BoNNET-
Take acknowledged piece of lace or
muslin, slightly round the obtuse angles,
stiffen the edges with wire, and put strings
on the ends, to fasten under the chin.
Trim it all round the edges with ptofusion
of lace, flowers and bows, making very little
distinction between the front and the back.
Tie it over the back OF the head, and let it
hang between the shoulders, taking good
care not to let it come forward so az to cover
the top Of the head, much less shade the
face. IL of very light, thin materials, it may
be worn indiferently as cap or bonnet.

GREYTowN REcovER1NG-Afler the burn
ing of Greytown the rain poured down in
torrents for few days, and the defenceless
people remaining i'll the woods sheltered
themselves by erecting little frames and
covering them with Inlia-rubber blankets
or anything else at hand. Only two houses
escaped the conhagraton. A week after
the event few merchants began to erect
some small houses; and on the 18th July
eight or nine sheds for the storage of goods
were in process of construction. AT that
date number of English and American
vessels were in the harbor, and sloop was
daily expected from jamaica with provl-
sions for the destitute people of the town.
Capt. Smith, whose murder of Antonio gave
rise to the calamity, was at Greytown in
command of the Steamer Ruth and mora

When it is remembered that this gentleman

the members of Congress to select Mr. Mil

AND MY HEART Too.-A few years ago,
when it was the custom of large girls and
large boys to attend district schools, and
when fagelIation were more common in
schools than at The present time, an accident
took place in neighboring town, which is
worth recording. One of the largest fairest
and p|umpest girls of the school happened
to violate one OF the teachers rules The
master, prompt, energetic fellow of %
summoned her into the middle of the floor
After lnteffogatIng the girl few moments,
the master took a ruler, and commanded her
to hold out her hand. She hesitated, when
the master, in blaze of passion, Numbered
out" Will You gee me your hand 81 "Yes
sir, and my heart too" promptly replied the
girl. at the same time stretching forth her
hand TO the master, and cycling him with a
cunning look. A death-like silence reigned
for moment in the sehooi-room, tear was
seen to gIisten in the teachers eye; the
ruler was laid upon the desk, and the blush
ing girl was requested to take her seat. but
to remain after the school uas dismissedi In
three weeks after the school finished, the
teacher and the girl were married.

How To Judge A Horse.

4 correspondent of the Prairie Farmer,
conrrarily TO old maxims, undertakes 10 Judge
the character of a horse by outward appear
ances, and offers the following suggestions,
as the result of his close observation and
long experience:
If the color be light sorreI or chestnut, his
feet, legs and face white, these are marks OF
kindness
If he is broad and full between the eyes
he may be depended on as horse of good
sense, and capable of being trained TO any
thing
AS respects such horses, the more kindly
you treat them the better you will be treat
ed in return Nor will horse of his de-
scrptlon stand whip if we'll fed.
If you want safe horse, avoid one that is
dish faced; he may be so far gentle as not
to scare, but he will have too much 90 ahead
in him to be safe for every body.
IF YOU want a fool. but a horse of great
bottom, get a deep bay, with not a white
hair about him; if his face is little dished
so much the worse. Let no man ride such
a horse, who is not an adapt In rdlng -they
are always tricky and unsafe,
If you want one who will never give out,
never buy large, overgrown one. A black
horse cannot stand heat, nor white one cold.
If you want gentle horse, get one with
more or less white about him-the more the
better, Many suppose that the partl-colored
horses belonging to cireglsses, shows, &c,
are selected for their oddity But the selec-
tons thus made are on account of great
docIity and gentleness.

EXPLOSION OF A POWDER MAGAzINE.-A
despatch from Cincinnati, dated the 14th,
says: The powder magazine at Maysvllle,
Ky, was fired yesterday morning, when
eight hundred kegs of powder explodeo and
burned thirteen houses. The explosion took
place at two o'clock on Sunday morning,
carrying destruction in every direction.
The light produced was most brilliant, and,
singular to say. not life was lost, and but
few persons injured. The citizens were so
much alarmed that some inmates elapsed
before any one would go into the streets.
The general impression was that the day Of
judgment had come. When the citizens
sailed out they found the sidewalks COW
cred with fragments of demolished houses.
The property damaged is estimated at fifty
to one hundred thousand dollars. Only two
persons We're seriously injured. One lady
died from the effects Of fright. The Mayor
offered one thousand dollars for information
that would lead to the conviction of the
rascal that set fire 10 the ma gazlne.

GREAT IMPROVEMENT IN THE MANUFACTURES
or PAPER FROM STRAW OR GRAssEs.-We were
yesterday shown some specimens Of paper made
entirely Of straw; also some of grass, Of sup
erior quality, and nearly IS good. 20 far as We
could judge, as rag paper. The exhibitor, .
practical chemist, informs rs that he can pro-
dnce paper for all purposes, Of superior quality,
from straw or grass for about half the cost Of
rag paper The merit that he claims is means
Of depriving the straw Of its sizeE and other
qualities which interfere to produce paper
strong, opaque and pliable enough for any use.
