THE CRINoLINE-Origim Of its Name.
Since the ladies have adopted the
fashion of making pyramids of them
selves, by extending the bottom of their
skirts, by entertainments of brass and
whalebone. we have frequently been
asked the derivation of the term "crino-
line," and to crafty the inquisitive, it
affords the greatest pleasure to inform
them that the term crinoline is derived
from the Latin word crinis, which means
the hair of the head. The word in the
French language becomes erin. and is
generally applied to horse hair. In col
loquial Latin of the Lower Empire, crinis
might naturally pass into the diminu-
tive cranola, and from this we easily
form the word crinoline, to signify a
fabric moven of hair, a finer and more
dainty tissue than the common hair
cloth, called by the French cilice. In

and tail. We think this explanation
ought to be satisfactory, and must GER
tainly be apropos.

FOREIGN PAUPERs.-If any doub
has been entertained as to the transpo1
tation of paupers by the German Gov
ernments to America, they will be dis
sipated by the following order lately is
sued by the government of WurtenI
berg
"Whereas, it has been repeatedly
represented to us that German emigrants
in America, and among them emigrants
from Wurtemberg, who either on ac-
count of sickness or incapability to laboE
desire to return to their native land, are
forwarded by the German Emigration
Society in New York; and whereas, il
is undesirable that those who have EN- |
igrated, and particularly those who have
been sent to America at the expense of
the State or communes, in case they
should not meet with success in Ameri-
ca, whether it be owing to their own
fault or not, should return to their ma
tive country to become burden upon
the State or the communes, which in
such case would have entirely thrown
away the cost of transporting them and
whereas, especially the American au-
thorities can scarcely feel authorized to
send back persons who have once been
permitted to land. for no other cause
than mere lack of success, and still less
can the German Emigration Society
have the right to demand the return of
such persons, therefore all proper steps
are to be taken to prevent the sending
back of such individuals"
This is abusing hospitality little too
much. New York is to be made Bot
any Bay for German paupers, and then
is not to be allowed to send them back
at their own expense. This will hardly
do.-New York Tribune.

A FAR WEST EDITORIAL SANCTuM.--
The Kansas correspondent of the Rich
mond enquirer in recent letter to that
paper, thus describes the sanctum of the
editor of the Weekly Herald, printed in
Leavenworth (Kansas) City, at the time
he made visit:
1t will not be amiss here to give you
a sketch of the office as presented to the
eye of stranger from Louisiana: "a
visit to the printing office afforded a
rich treat On entering the first room
on the right hand three law shingles
were on the door; on one side was rich
bed-French blankets, sheets, table
cloths, shirts cloaks and rugs, all togeth-
err; on the wall hung hams, maps, ven
ison and rich engravings, onions, por-
traits and boots; on the floor were a
side of bacon, carved to the bone, corn
and potatoes, stationery and books; on
a nice dressing case stood a wooden tray
half full of dough, while crockery occu-
pied the professional desk. In the room
on the left-the sanctum-the house
wife, cook and editor lived in glorious
unity-one person. He was seated on
stool, with paper before him on a
piece of plank, writing a vigorous knock
down to an article in the Kickapoo Pho
neer, paper of rival city. The cook
ing stove was at his left, and tin kettles
all round the corn cake was "a doing,
and instead of scratching his head fol
an idea, as editors often do, he turned
the cake and went ahead"

CHoATE AND DANA.-Two great
master minds now contend for suprema-
cy at the New England Bar - Rufus
Choate, who has long held that position
without rival, and Richard II. Dana,
Jr., who is rising proudly and steadily to
an emincnce which will place him
among the mightiest orators of the New
World. Both were engaged on the
Dalton divorce case, which terminated
on Saturday night in disagreement of
the iury--Dana for the husband and
Choate for the wife. There was some
indications of ''muttered thunder" du-
ring the reception of the evidence which
had prepared the good people of Boston
for a mastery passage at arms between
those two intellectual giants. And it
came in the summing up. The antago-
nists had measured their weapons, and
each knew his relative advantages over
the other. Both showed their very best
points. brought out their strongest logic,
and used their most beautiful rhetoric.

SALAMANDER-The Salamander is
an animal believed by ancients to have
the property of existing unhurt in fire
and among the miners of Cornwall, Eng
land, superstition prevails that if a fire
be kept in for a century, continuously,
a salamander will arise from the flames,
as Venus rose from the sea, or Minerva
from the brain of Jupiter. Hence they
invariably cause their engine fires,
which otherwise are kept continually
burning, to be put out every few years.
A French Consul in the Island of
Rhodes in 1889, gravely relates that
while sitting in his chamber, there, he
heard loud cry in the kitchen, whittier
he ran, and found his cook in horrible
fright, who informed him that she had
seen the devil in the fire. M. Pontho-
nier (the Cousul then states that he
looked into bright fire and there saw
little animal with open mouth and
palpitating throat.
He took the tongs and endeavored to
remove it. AT his first attempt, the an
imal, which he says had been motion
less up to that time 1.-TWO or three MINI
utes) ran into a corner of the chimney,
having lost the tip of his tail in escap-
ing, and buried itself in heap of ashes.
In his second attempt the Consul was
successful and drew the animal out,
which he describes as sort of small
lizard, plunged it into spirit and gave it
to Button, the naturalist. Pliny, the
naturalist, says: 'Of all venomous
beasts, there are not any so hurtful and
dangerous as are the salamanders. As
for other serpents, they can hurt but one
at once, neither kill they many togeth-
err; to say nothing how when they have
stung or bitten man, they die for verie
grief and sorrow that they have done
such mischief, as if they had some
pricke and remorse of conscience after
wards, and never enter they againe into
earthe, as unworthy to be received
