SHALL WE HAVE A TITLED ARIsToC,
RACY ?-Sneers, like curses, sometime,
come home to roost. May not a day ar
rive when this land of ours--of which &
young emigrant said some years ago, that
ii had mo lords but the Lord God Al
migbty"-shall be infested with titled
aristocracy. We are tending that way
We have got from Commodores to Ad-
mirals plain "Mr. President" has been
completely superseded by "your Excel
ency," and we talk Familiarity of the
"bigher classes" Tawdry liveries, en-
blazoned panels and sets OF crested har-
ness fare in Central Park. We are un-
willing to believe that this free country
can ever be Europeanized. 1t has been
our hope always that it would american
ize Europe. But il is nevertheless Ger.
tain that class pride is making tremendous
innovations on the theory of equality up
on which our political system is founded.
Our porcelain quite new article, with
the gliding very shiny-is getting shelf
higher every day, and will soon be out
of sight of the common crockery, if il
goes on mounting at its present rate.

GARIBALDI.-It is not easy to conceive
anything finer, simpler, more thoroughly
unaffected or more truly dignified, than
the man himself. His noble head his
clear, honest, brown eye his finely
traced mouth, beautiful as a woman's, and
only strung up to sternness when any
thing ignoble or mean had outraged him E;
and, last of all. his voice contains a fas>
cination perfectly irresistible, allied, as
you knew and felt these graces we're,
with thoroughly pure, untarnished ma
ture. The true measure Of the man lies
in the fact that though his life has been a
series Of the boldest and most daring
achievements, his courage is about the
very last quality uppermost in your mind
when you meet him. 1t is Of the win
ming softness Of his look and manner, hi.
kind thong htfulness for others, his sincere
pity for all suffering his gentleness, hi,
modesty, his manly sense of brotherhood
with the very humblest of the men who
had loved him, that you think these
are the traits that throw all his heroism
into shadow and all the glory of the
conqueror pales before the simple virtues
of the man. lackwood.

MoNoTONY OF THE SEA.---There i
nothing so desperately monotonous as th,
sea, and no longer wonder at the cruel
Ity Of pirates. Fancy an existence il
which the coming up Of clumsy finbacl

as you lean over the taffrail, is an excit
ing as an election on shore The damp
ness seems to strike into the wits as int
the lucifer matches, SO that one may
scratch thought half dozen times anC
forlorn hope of fire, which only goes far
enough to leave sense Of suffocation be-
hind it. Even smoking becomes an EN-
pleyment instead OF solace. Who les,

SMOKE FOR THE CURE or WOUNDS

SMOKE FOR THE CURE OF WOUNDS
"A correspondent of the country Gentle
man, recommends smoke as a cure fol
wounds in men ard animals. He says
II cnt my foot with an axe. The lady
of the house, seizipg the foot while it wa
yet bleeding freely, held it over par
containing smoking tag locks. In few
minutes the bleeding stopped, the smoke
was removed and bandsge applied tC
protect it from accidental blows. The
wound never suppurated, and consequent
Iy never panied me. | have seen the
remedy tried in several similar cases, and
always with the same results. Let the
reader remember that no liniment OF
salve, drawing or healing, should be ap-
piled. You have merely to smoke the
wound well, and nature will do the rest
| suppose that the smoke OF burning wood
would produce the same results, but it
would not be so manageable. There is a
principle in the smoke of wood, which
when applied TO the flesh. coaguIates the
albumen, thus rendering it unsuscept-
IDLE of putrefaction. The same principle
stops bleeding by coagulating the blood.
1t promotes healing, and may be applied
with decided benefit to all ulcers, wounds
and cutaneous diseases"

A NATURAL MIsTAKE.-In a recen,
speech, General Logan, Of Illinois, related
the following Pat anecdote, viii ch
brought down the crowd:
"A couple of Irishmen who deserted
from the rebel armies, d reached
Chicago during the Convention, heard, at
night, Rynders and others making speech
es in favor of the South. Pat, dye
know where we are !? IN Shicargo, to
be sure Not a bit of it, We're back
in the Southern Contheveracy.' 'Ah.
bedad, see how it is that thavin' Con-
ductor at Louisville took off the wrong
end Of the ticket, and we went the wrong
way. Bad luck to u.s."

Tur Nrw MORMON Temple AT SALT

The New MORMON TEMPLE AT SALT
LAKE CITY.-That which strikes every
. observer OF the temple is the very re-
markable solidty of the stone work. II
appears 10 be laid there to remain a
thousand years, furnishing an unyielding
support to the immense building that is
to rest upon it. The foundation is deep
the stones large, well selected, properly
iointed with innumerable arches, upright
ard reversed. The stones comprising
this foundation are large, square blocks
of granite, brought fifteen miles, and it is
of similar stone that the entire structure
is to be built. 1t covers large space
say 200 by 100 feet. | saw an outside
view of the upper portion. The style OF
architecture is somewhat novel The
front view shows three towers, the center
more elevated than those at the side
The rear end presents view OF three
towers also, the side walls being strength
ened with powerful abutment covered
with pinnacIes. The walls ara lofty, and
the entire air of the building, ae repre-
scented 10 the view | saw, is imposing
There is no excess of ornament. All is
substantial, dignified and impressive
The building is not for the use Of the con
gregations Of the people but for the priest
Iy ordinances of the church. The people
in their assemblages will meet in another
building in the rear, Of which | shall
speak. The work on the Temple build
ing appears to be suspended now. | saw
no workmen, and | was informed that no
d,6nite period could be assigned for its
completion.
Immediately in the rear of it is the
of the tabernacle, building
for the gathering of the people.
1t is projected on large scale, and on
very peculiar design. 1t is to be an oval
building egg shaped. l was told that
the interior would correspond to t h G
shape of an egg. At present % massive
abutment of solid masonry, 10 feet by 4
feet, show the exterior line OF the struct-
ure. From the top of these abutments
the oval roof will spring. The floor will
be oval, downwards, seated with rising
seats, as an amphitheater. There will
be no close-bult walls. As the building
5 intended for the vast congregations,
Tentilation and light is looked to, and the
building will be nearly all Windows and
loors. 1t covers a space of 225 feet deep
" l7j feet wide, and is calculated to
old 10000 people, Here the teachers
nd elders will enlighten the people, and
leir united souls will 90 up. The cost
f these buildings must be immense
tut all is contributed by members of the
Iormon church, in labor and money
heir system OF tithiug is adequate to
lie work. When ! asked, "What is the
stimated cost of the temple and taber-
acle 2" | was informed with a smile,
We do not calculate things in that way.
When it is decided to do anything among
