Mrs. Jane Elizabeth Jones, one Of the
speakers at the recent Woman's Rights Con-
vention in New York, was somewhat severe
upon the masculines who flourish in the
atmosphere of millinery stores. Hear her.
1.-The other day she saw a man milliner
holding up bonnet on his soft hands and
expatating on its merits. A lady tried it
on and he went into ecstacies, it was such q
fit and so becoming He complimented the
bonnet and then he complimented the lady.
She could but think this man was out Of
his sphere, and had crowded some woman
out Of her sphere. In shoe store, instead
of sprightly girl to try ON woman's gal
ters, you find strong man, who tries it,
and fuses over the gaiter and over the foot
until the ladyis almost tempted to propel
him into his true sphere. Laughter When
and where was it discovered that God made
man to fit ladies' CATERS? Laughter"

MARVELLOUS PHENogENoN.--The Russian
correspondent Of the London Telegraph writes
thus:
AT Moscow, physical phenomenon has
been recently observed, such as would have
given rise to the creation of whole cycle of
fantastic myths in the time of the worlds
infancy. We learn from paragraph in the
leading paper of that city,that quarter
pastten, on the nightof the lst and I'd OF
March, a star to the Southwest of the Great
Bear. suddenly commenced to wax larger, as
Stunning at the same time, the color of iron
at red heat, but without the appearance of
any sparks or rays. In this condition the
star appeared until half past IL, varying in
the intensity ofits light, and attaining the
size nearly of the half-moon. A little be-
fore midnight the dimness began to increase,
and at II o'clock the star had disappeared.
In it's stead a sort of black speck was to be
