ANAwE-sTRUcK BURGLAR.-Last night abou
IL O'Clock, burglar entered house in Henry
street by q rear window, and ransacked The
lower rooms, after which ho proceeded to the
second-story. In a chamber lay the remain.
of child dressed for the grave, and in an in
ner room was the mother, the door connectin,
the two rooms being sufficiently ajar to enabl,
her to see the child without being seen herself
The thief entered the chamber, his hands filled
with booty, and continued his search till he
discovered the dead, when uttering an audible
sigh, he quietly lay down his ILL Cotton burden
and retired from the room and the house as
empty handed as when he entered. The mother
in the midst of her grief, was too much agi
tated to raise alarm.-Brooklyn Star.

"THE WHIPPED BRUIsER."-The Buffalo Er-
press says that Australian Kelly, the vanquished
pugilist in the prize fight of Thursday, has not
only to suffer the aches and pains Of broken
ribs and battered bones, and the modification
of his utter defeat, but he has also, it appears
to endure the scornful and contemptuous in al q.
nation of nearly the entire host of his friend.
and hackers. His conduct in the ring is said
to have dreadfully disappointed and disgusted
those who had pinned their faith and theil
purses upon his supposed pluck, skill and mus
Gle. But when the scratch came, his preten.
sions were brushed away in an instant by his
antagonist. He was unable to mako even d
decent show of pluck or science. His adver.
saTy treated him with perfect contempt, and
with sneer on his face, cuffed and handled
him about the ring like school boy.

A BRuTE.-A writer in the Atlantic Month.
in discoursing upon tho skeleton fashion of thu
day, says:
IA woman in this rig hangs in her skirtt
like clapper in bell, and never meet one
without being tempted to take her by the necl
and ring her,"
Speaking of the way women display theil
arms and shoulders, skinny or otherwise, and
conceal their feet, ankles and such, he makes
the following uuhcard Of and dangerous revela-
tions:
"No'o, &c ,oomon has legs as ,ceH as arms, and
why, if it be the custom, should not one be
seen as we'll as the other?" ....i

A CIRCUS IN A CHURcH.-Tho Washington
States, in noticing tho anticipated arrival in
that city of Dan Rice's great show, says
BY the way, quite little incident in this
connection may be related. The good people
at little village between Carlisle and York,
Penn, were very much surprised couple Of
Sundays since, by the appearance, in solid
phalanx, at church, Of Dan Rice's Show Com
pany, who happened to be passing the Sabbath
there. The event caused good deal of COM
ment, whether because the inhabitants of the
place were under the impression that showmen
had no souls to be saved, or because they con-
sidcrod the whole race past saving, We have
no means Of Judging.

the bitterness of desolation, lay the corpse
of that patriot and traitor.
Oh, that our own true Washington had

from the corpse, and while the dishonored
body rotted into dust, to bying home that
good right arm, and embalm it among the
holiest memories of the past.

Mr.. Hale said that if the President had
confined himself to an exposition of the re-

taken this opportunity to make comments
but the President had abused his constitu-

to interpolate a history of Kansas not in
accordance with the truth of history. He
did agree most fervently in the Presidents
gratitude that Providence had interposed at
a critical juncture in our affairs. Maybe
the teachings of Providence had been
brought to the Presidents own State and
town, and, like Job, the good man. he feels

BETRoTHALs.-We are informed by the
''papas," says the Golden Era, that they
are introducing new and interesting fash
ion in Cincinnati, which, perhaps. may be-
come generally prevalent, for fashions must
begin sometime and somewhere. 1t is moth
ing less than the celebration of betrothals,
or engagements between young people, by
the giving of a party and inviting guests,
as to weddings. This is an entire novelty
in our country, but in Germany and some
parts Of Europe it is quite the custom. At
ter the betrothal, the young lovers have GER
tain privileges accorded to them which would
not be otherwise permitted. We rather
think the plan would be popular if once got
in vogue. These betrothals are sometimes
even announced in the newspapers, and
should it become a regular custom, the Ia
dies and gentlemen will seize the morning
papers with as much eagerness to find who
is betrothed as they now do to read the
marriages and deaths. We shall set the
fashion if we can. and promise when we are
betrothed, to advertise it.

Nothing is more inducive of pulmonary
disease than cold feet. Cold feet can not
possibly occur if the circulation is properly
kept mp. A sense of coldness in them is
an indication that they are not sufficient
ly protected by clothing. Our bodies
are often oyerburdened with oyercoats and
wrapping-shawls, while our limbs are but
imperfecdy covered. Now there is nothing
more dangerous than allowing the feet to
become damp aud cold. Health requires
that they should always be kept warm and
dry. Il is better to pay the tailor and shoe
maker. and hosier, for preserving your
health. than to pay the doctor for curing
you after your Ill.
Recall some of your past experience. and
you will soon discover that two-tbirds OF
the colds you have suffered from, were pro-

Indians. understood this fully In their
wigwams they always laid down With their

SNoRING.-A western statesman, in one
of his tours in the far west, stopped all
night at house where be was put in the
same room with twenty strangers. He was
very much annoyed by the snoring of two
persons. The black boy of the hotel en-
tered the room, when our narrator said to
HIM, 'Ben. will give you five dollars if
you will kill that man next to me, who
snores SO dreadfully." Can't kill him for
FIVE dollars; but If massa will advance the
price, I'll try what can do" By this time
the stranger had ceased his nasal fury. So,
stepping up to the other, he awoke him.
and said: "My friend, you're talking in
your sleep and exposing all the secrets of
the Brandon Bank, (he was directory
you bad better be careful" He was care
full. for he did not go to sleep again that
night.
