The last steamer brings the news Of
the death Of DR.. Thomas Dick, the author
Of the Christian Philosopher. which
event occurred a, his residence in Brough-
ty Ferry. on the banks of the Tay. Scot
land, where, says the Dundee Warder,

Economical studios, engaged in the labors

however, and replied
81 shall go for it to-day"
This answer was perfectly satisfactory,
and, biding my new friends farewell l
returned TO the station, and took the ne xt
train for the nearest town, in order to
procure such things as needed, taking
care to provide myself with small trunk
to bring them home in.

A Genuine Hoop Hem-An Incident of
the Fourth Street Promenade.

Il Genuine Hoop Henl-.Hn Incident off
the Fourth Street Promenade.
A few days since one of our city bellies
was passing through Fourth street, escor-
ted by gallant, when, 10 her great an
noyance, her crinoline began to exhibit
as many crotches as she ever had in all
her life. Her dress would not move
gracefully, or indeed at all. Something
must be decidedly wrong, and was. One
Of the gentle lady's hoops had broken,
and being of metal, fettered her move
ments completely. SShe could not walk.
Her gallant offered to do anything
She declared he could do nothing.
The treacherous hoop, 10 her infinite
horror, was coiling about one of her deli.
cate limbs, just where an embroidered gar.
ter congned her silken hose. Closer and
closer the wire wrapped itself, as if il
were enemored of what it touched. The
lady could not stir, but trembling between
fear and expectation stretched out her
daintily.kidded hands, imploringy, and
said: 30 dear; what shall do!"
Her gallant knew there was no time
to be lost-a crowd would soon gather
desperate diseases require desperate rene.
dies. He lifted the lovely girl therefore
in his arms, and, placing her upon stone
step, proceeded as deliberately as posi-.
BILE to remove the hoop.
"What are you going todo!"
"Remove the hoop if possible"
"Well"--
"Well''-
"Quick, then"
II begin"
And the lavender -colored gaiter. quite
like Blanche Armory's, was visible, ant
, the deliciously turned ankle, and thu
beautiful swell of her faultless stocking
and \ the hoop was removed.
Many roses bloomed, and died, ant
bloomeI again, as she went home upol
the arm Of her escort through the gay
street and the golden sunshine, and 0
what both must have thought there wa
a profound and solemn silence.
Miss, it has been observed, ha
