PERSONAL APPEARANCE OF ANAoREoHTIc
ToM.-A late writer says of Thomas Moore:
ing looking little man. 1t is disenchant-
ing phrase to apply to a sentimental poet;
but must say, in his general appearance,
there was something that very nearly ap-
proximated to what is now denominated as
'Jolly," He had dark and most vivaeious
eyes, hair of same color, and in sufficient
abundance, glossy, and nicely arranged; a
broad, commanding forehead; a complexion
fresh, clear, and ruddy; small, but well de-
fined features; mouth that seemed made
alone for mirth and brimming smiles; an
extraordinary play and expression of eounte-
nance, whose changeful variety yet ever be-
trayed the genius within; a quick, brisk,
and active gait merry, joyous laugh; and
the generally diffused impress of a happy,
easy, healthy man--one contented quite with
the lot he had in life, and in perfect amity
and peace with those about him. Such was
the aspect Moore presented when first saw
him" ry ..- r..r..

PRACTICAL PROGRESS AND THE DECLINE OF
HOME IMPLEMENTs.-0f the gradual disap-
pearance of "love in a cottage" and the dis
use of the midnight lamp" "old oaken
bucket" and other nuclei of old associations,
in consequence of the substitution of new
inventions, a writer in the PHILADELPHIA In
qUtreT thus discourses: "If we 90 on at this
rate, all sentiment and simplicity will vanish
from the household. Our homes will be
woven together into one immense hotel,
drawing light, heat and water from the same
source, and it may be, from the same ma
terial. The whole domestic picture will
have an air Of labor saving contrivance and
elegant mechanism, with cushioned cars,
noiselessly gliding from cellar to attic, loco
motive dumb-waiters circulating with stiff
gravity through the table ritual; steam cal
Hopes discoursing musical asthmas in the
parlor, and nimble sewing-machines per-
forming miracles of fancy-needle-work The
genius of improvement will have driven out
the spirit of romance from its last refuge
and birthplace, and home itself be left dis
enchanted. In the mean time, however, let
us be consoled with the reflection that what
we are losing in poetry, we are gaining in
comfort and elegance; and that as physical
conveniences are multiplied and diffused, the
means of domestic refinement and social
amelioration will be proportionably in
creased. The masses now live as luxuriously
as their rulers of a century ago."

REMARKABLE FACT IN THE LIFE OF THE
IRON DUKE Wellington NeVer Lost Gan.
1t is a singular fact in this mans history
that he never lost a gun to the enemy.
Returning with him one day from the hunt
ing-feld, says Lord Ellesmere, 81 asked him
if be could form any calculation of the guns
be had taken in the course Of his career?n
"NO," said he, 'notwith any accuracy; some
where about 1900, l should guess. At
Oporto, after the passage of the Douro,
took the entire siege train of the enemy; at
Victoria and Waterloo took every gun the
enemy had in the field; and what, however
is more extraordinary, don't think ever
lost gun in the field. After the battle of
Salamanca" " he went on to explain, "three
of my guns, attached to some Portuguese
cavalry, were captured in a trifling affair
near Madrid, but they were recovered the
next day. In the PyTenees, Lord Hill found
himself obliged to throw eight or nine guns
over precipice, but these were all recov-
cred, and none fell into the enemy's hands,"

A VILLAIN WITH VARIED ExPERIESoE.
William L. johnson, alias McNaire, con-
vieted of bigamy in Nansemond County,
Va, has been sentenced to four years in the
State Prison. 1t appears that the career of
McNaire has been various. He had served
two years in the same institution, before his
last conviction, for grand larceny in Lynch
burg. He was set free fifteen months ago,
since which time he has married two wives,
stolen two horses in BERTHE, N. O., attempted
to commit rape at Gatesville, in the same

THE DECADENCE OF TRUE WoMEE-The
Effect Of False Gallantry.-It happens, saws
the Chicago Ill.) Journal, that we have a
great many more ladies and not nearly SO
many women as we once bad those who
grace frame more than they do a family:
good to write poetry to, and sing "Meet me
by moonlight alone" to, and make Books
OF Beauty" about, but neither Rachels nor
Ruths. A classic nose is happy accident,
and so is lip, fashioned after Apollo's bow
the neither one as if "some bee had stunp il
newly" but sweet spirit and a graceful
life are not accidents; they are born of
patience and self-denial, and womanly faith.
1t is the nonsense of the thing called gal
lantry, that has robbed the world of many a
woman, only TO make lady of her; the
stuff about "angels in disguise" and "kneel-
ing at their feet" and "paying homage TO
beauty" is as absurd to-day as the scene in
the yard of the inn where Sancho Panza
watched the first night of his errantry. As
ifit were possible to be any thing better on
earth than woman woman in its true
sense, who, like the Mary of old, is last at
every scene of suffering and first at every
resurrection of hope.

REvENGEFUL AND SEoRETIvE CHARACTER
OF THE CHINEsE.-A Havana correspondent
says of the Chinese: --e-f .- r.-
They hesitate not to murder the man
whom they consider has maltreated them,
and it is impossible, or nearly SO, to find out
who is the murderer, for when asked, they
always say, eve all did it," There was a
murder committed at Reju, by some Coolies
belonging to the railway company, more
than twelve months ago; yet, beyond the
temporary Imprisonment of the lot, no pun
ishment has been inflicted on any of them,
because, suppose, the individual murderer
answer to garrote the whole gang, forty or
fifty in number. 81 r

ADRoIT AND DARING BURGLARY IN New
EEGLAND.--A very cool and daring robbery
was committed in New Haven, Connecticut
the other night on the jewelry store of Ev-
erard Benjamin. The burglars burst in the
door of Lucius G. Peck's law-ofice, just over
the store, bored through the floor, removed
the deadening, bored through the ceiling be-
low, and let themselves down into the store
by rope. In tile safes were some twenty
thousand dollars worth of jewelry, bnt they
open the locks with gunpowder. 1t is sup
posed that they were alarmed by the police
men trying the front doors, as they decamped
suddenly by side-door, leaving some tools
and gunpowder, but taking about three
hundred dollars worth of jewelry from the
showcases.
