LOLA MoNrEz' SPECIFICS FOR BEAUTy.-Lola's
natural specifics for the preservation of beauty
were temperance, exercise and cleanliness; but
there are also artificial devices. Among these
she noticed the use of milk baths, which became
SO general in certain city that it produced II
scarcity of the article, and finally the police dis
covered that the dealers obtained their supplies
for tea and coffee by purchasing of servants what
had been used for their employers baths !
Tepid water and bran forms a remarkable puri-
fer and softener of the skin, and Madame Yes
iris was accustomed to sleep with her face coat
ed with a thick paste. The coquettes of Paris
at one time had the fashion of binding slices Of
raw beef upon their faces to keep OUT the wrin-
kles, but-exclaimed Lola-good gracious Inc
what a sight for q lover? to see a face bound up
in sandwich and tied in napkin! These
things, however, are not for lovers to see The
Spanish women were fond of small feet and
white hands; the cosmetic of the Turks is fric-
ton; the MolGavians drink the water OF arse
nical springs. But, after all, concluded Lola,
there must be an accomplishment of the mind
and heart. 1t had been her privilege 10 see
most of the celebrated beauties of the world, but
had never found any art that can atone for an
unpublished mind or unlovely heart. Here was
the true source Of feminine beauty that never
fades.

A MODEL MAyoR.-Sometime it is the mis-

Such was the case about twenty-five years ago
with certain city, which it wonld be impolitic,
not to say mpolite, for us to name in this con-

a book-pedlar to him with English grammars
Immediately after his election and when he de-
clared he had no use for the book, the pedlar
said, Everybody tells me you must haveit toe" I"
He came into office, and took his chair in state
ly dignity. In few minutes the clerk laid be-
fore him paper which the Mayor was request
ed to endorse as one that had passed under his
eye. The clerk remarked;

tials upon it."

Now it so happened that P. was the first let

of this paper"
His Honor the Mayor tooea quill in his trem-
bling hand, and, with the perspiration on his
brow. wrote ''roo pEzE," and the document is on
file in the office unto this day.

sLEEPLEss NIeurs IN INDIA.-During the night
in the month of May, it is impossible to sleep
with closed windows, and nearly as impossible
to do so with open ones. Thus sleep is almost
hopeless. The beasts, the birds, the insects, the
reptiles, appear to join in one universal tumult,
and even human beings seem to take very little
repose. In q temple not far off priest is beat

To.fnish my'portrait, fair sir, I'll engage!
To begin with the casket Pm of medium height,
With skin oft remarked as unusually white,
And eyes blue us skies of a moou-gilded night
And hair golden tinted, and heart warm and light
Pm good enough looking-a fer have said pretty;
And I'm CHEEKY in chat-nay, some call me witty
And now for the gem-.he magnifcent mind
That in this clay casket is snugly confined
Baptized it has been in Castilias rill,
As you see by each word which now drops from my
quill.
And tho stern philosophies-moral and mental
And odious grammars and histries ungentle,
With grim mathematics, aud all sorts of bother,
Have striven at times my light fancy to smother
1t has burst from their thradom and risen unscathed
Till in airs of Parnassus again it has breathed.
Yet trust you will fancy, sweet sir, by no means,
That my rides on Pegasus e'er reach to extremes;
Nor dream that because sir, my stockings are blue,
That the home of my wilehood would wear the same
hue.

That they and not Imust fb and must cringe
For office and sal'ries and fees, and such things
That they and not Imust preach to the folks,

And oil sorts of things that I'd never do

time to time until their hunger and thirst was
satisfied
After they had been week on the Mary, they
were transferred to the Bremen bark Laura,
which arrived at New York, as stated, on the
9TH inst.
There were at first twelve men on the portion
of the wreck from which Grant and Dawson
were rescued. The following is an extract from
Dawson's narrative:
"On Tuesday night-the fourth since the
wreck-the colored man, Gilbert, began to grow
despondent, and the feeling soon increased to an
extent that he became deranged. Mr.. Budding
ton also was similarly affected. They would
talk wildly about going down into the mess-room
or the pantry to get some water or food. Gil
bert insisted that the steward told him he should
have some water if he came down. Some of
them, Dawson thinks, drank salt water in their
desperate thirst Some he stopped while they
were in the act. During Wednesday several
died-some by lying down in the water aud
drowning, and Others by falling off into the sea.
On Wednesday evening, Buddington's and Gil
bert's mental arrangement became uncontrolla-
BILE. and though Grant and Dawson did all they
could to soothe them, their efforts were inefect-
ual, and soon after dark they swan from the
raft, fancying in their frenzy that they were soon
to obtain relief. 1t was the relief of death.
1t was on Wednesday, Dawson thinks, that q
dog fish weighing several pounds jumped on the
raft, and was secured. His skin and meat were
so tough that they could hardly cut or eat it,
and they satisfied themselves by masticating a
small quantity it. The next day it was more
tender, and was soon eaten"
This is the fourth time that Mr.. Grant has
been cast away. Three years ago he was fire.
man on the steamer Arctic, and when that ves-
sci went down was left floating on piece of
timber, in the broad Atlantic After several
days of intense suffering he was picked up by
the ship Cambria, and carried with Captain
Luce to Quebec. The persons picked up by
the Mary had drifted nearly six hundred miles
from the scene of the wreck before they were
rescued.

PRIVATE FORTUNES OF GREAT PERsoNAGEs.-
Cresus possessed, in landed property, fortune
equal to $S,500,G0 besides large amount Of
money, slaves, and furniture, which amounted
to an equal sum. He used to say that citizen
who had not sufficient sum to support an army
or legion did not deserve the title of rich
man. The philosopher Seneca had fortune OF
81, 100000. Tiberius at his death left $11s,-
100000, which Cagua spent in less than II
months. Vespasian, on ascending the throne,
estimated all the expenses of the State at $175,-
0O0,0 900. The debts of Milo amounted to 3d.
100000. Caesar, before he entered upon any
office, owed $l4975,O00. He had purchased
the friendship of Ourio for $4,000, and that Of
Lucus Paulus for $l,500000. At the time OF
the assassination of Julius Cesar, Anthony was
in debt to the amount of $15,000,000; he owed
this sum on the ides of March and it was paid by
the kalends of April; he sqnandered S2,0S5, ,000
Appius squa dered in debauchery $1,000, ,0O0,-
600, and finding on examination of the state Of
his affairs, that he only had 100000, poisoned
himself, because he considered that sum INSULT
cient for his maintenance. Julius Caesar gave
Setoa, the mother of Brutus, a pearl of the val
of $4,000. Cleopetra, at an entertainment she
gave to Antony, dissolved in vinegar pearl
worth 100000, and he swallowed it. Clodius,
the son of Esopus, the commedian, swallowed
one worth $4,000. One single dish cost ESQ
pus 100000 Caligula spent for one supper
$4OO,O 900 and Heliogobalus 100000. The usu-
al cost for repast for Lucuus was 100000.
The fish from his fish. ponds was sold for $780,
900. Modern authorities dispute all these enor-
nous sums, and insist that thousands should be
read for millions and hundreds for thou
sands The ancients were not half so rich as
some classic commentators would like to make
them.

SOME DoG.-A gentleman left Holyoke on
Friday afternoon for this city in buggy, taking
a favorite dog with him. As they progressed
toward Williamsett the gentlemen amused HIM
self by plauging the dog till he had got the ami

the eentlemans hat blew off, and he went back
after it, leaving the horse and buggy standing in
the road then the dog took advantage of his
masters absence to jump into the buggy and
start the animal, who started gaily towards the
river. followed by the gentleman yelling whoa"
to no purpose. His faithful dog now took po-
sition upon the seat, where he could keep an
ave on his master and another on the steed, to
see sec fair play in the race. They approached the
Connecticut river, into which the waggish brute
drove, and, keeping his seat, foated out behind
the horse, who swan, after getting beyond his
depth. They were seen, at this juncture, by
persons on the south shore, who put off in o
boat and got them safely to land-the dog in
high g.ee at his successful experiment in driving
and then went back after the owner, who
will no doubt, leave that dog behind the next
time he goes to ride. The best of this story is

ENNUI-Nine-tenth of the miseries and vices
of mankind proceed from Incidence and idleness.
Persons who have naturally active minds
whose "quick thoughts like lightning are alive"
are most perniciously affected by the evils of
sloth. The favored sons of genius, endowed with
great original powers were not made for repose !;
Incidence will quickly "freeze the genial current
of the SOUL" and if left idle long, they perish
from inaction, like scimter corroded and de-
stroyed by rust. But the active occupation of
our faculties is safeguard against these great
evils, vice, penury, and desponding gloom
Says Cotton, "ennui has made more gamblers
than avarice, more drunkards than thirst, and
more suicides than despair" If we would be
both useful and happy, we must keep ourselves
industriously and virtuously employed. Old
Dumbiedikes was wise in charging his son to
"be aye sticking in tree when he had nothing
else to do." Count de Cayus, French noble
man, being born to wealth and princely idleness,
turned his attention to engraving, and made ma
ny fine copies of antique gems. One of the no.
bility demanded from him a reason for this pro-
cedure, and was told by the industrious Count,
II engrave, that may not hang myself"

The PANIo.-The following fact given to the
public by the New York Erpress exhibits the
effect of the panic in most ridiculous light as
regards some people:
"We hear of foreign house in this city, three
partners in it, which few days since drew their
deposits, amounting to 100000, in gold from
the Bank nk,-which they re.deposited in their
counting house safe. But the 100000 elephant
thus Gagged, became troublesome. What to do
with him, how to guard him, who to have to
watch over him, were very important problems
to be solved The clerks might steal. The
temptation was too great for the watchman, or
porter. If the burglars heard of it, they would
be sure to break in and steal, and if necessary
murder too. There was very unhappy consul
tation among the partners, as to what should be
done with the 100000.
"Well,-the conclusion finally was, that q
brace of Colts revolvers should be bought, and
that each partner should take his turn in sitting
up at night by the safe, wide awake,-with o
revolver in each hand Now we wish them 8
good time of their watchfulness,- if in the
course of week,-we do not hear of the money
going back to Bank,-we shall print the -
street and the - No. - whore Joe Snoggs
and Jim Snipes can have the 100000 by fight

Tobacco Smoking.

The Mahommedan legend on the subject is
too long for repetition under its Eastern garb.
Suffice it that q viper was restored to health by
the warmth of the Prophets body. Immediate
ly on convaescence, the ungrateful reptile an
nounced its intention of biting its preserver.-
The Prophet expostulated. An argument en-.
sued, which ended in the viper's carrying ont
its original project. The Prophet sucked the
venom from his wounded wrist and spat it forth.
"From these drops sprang that wondrous weed,
which has the bitterness of the serpent's tooth
quelled by the sweet saliva Of the Prophet
But whatever the origin of tobacco, no plant has
exercised so much political influence. The Pope
Urban VIII. excommunicated all those who took
snuff in churches. The Empress Elizabeth was
less severe. She declared that the snuff boxes
of those who made use of them in church should
be confiscated to the use of the beadle. At
Berne the use of tobacco was classified with a.
dultery. In Transylvania the penalty was far
greater, in 1889 entire confiscation Of property
was the sentence of those who should plant to.

Duke of Muscovy forbade smoking and snuff ta-

It is related of Amurath that smoking sapbi

the right of inhcting fine OF 40s and expulsion
from their line on any one guilty of the sublime
act. But it is sweet to smoke under difficulties.
Were the prohibition removed, smoking on rail-
way cars would probably cease. We know of
