American Women Growing Beautiful.

A writer in the Round Table says:
The women of America are growing
more aud more handsome every year, for
Just this reason. They are growing
rounder Of chest, fuller of limb. gaining
substance and development in every d.
rection. Whatever may be urged to the
contrary, we believe this to be a demon
strable fact. We have been accustomed
10 hear such dismal means over dyspep-
sis and the heat Of stoves, bad food and
bad habits OF life, hat sn impression Of
degeneraey iuds place in many minds,
and the proposition, therefore, that
American women are viSlbly growing
handssmer, may at fest provoke q good
deal OF dissent. We believe, however,
that reflection and observation viii in
dorse and sustain it. The change may
be l.ss marked among the poorer classes,
and may be more prominent IN the chief
centers Of population and refinement;
bat that il has taken place, Is progress

An Incident Of the Bombardment Of Fort
Fisher.

An incident OF the bomDardment OF Fort
Fisher.
A person who was in Fort Fisher
during the bombardment tells the fol-
lowing story in an English magazine:
Oil the agony Of despair to see ball
and shell falling harmless from those
turrets of iron, or rolling like pellets
along the low decks, whilst the gallant
defenders of Fort Fisher were falling in
sheaves within . fortifcstion which
would, four short years before, have de-
fed the efforts of any navy-"a work"
as Porter says, stronger than anything
Sebastopol could boast OF. One day a
happy shot from the fort succeeded in
finding its way into a weak spot of two
turreted monitor; piece Of iron evil
IDENTIFY was turned up, and jammed the
turret. Hurrahl one at last disabled,
thought the poor Confcderates. By
Jove see two sailors quietly walk out,
and set themselves down, the one hold
ing q .chisel, the other striking with
hammer. They we're cutting away the
obstruction; and so secure was the mon
itor against any vital injury being inhct-
ed on her, that, although silenced she
would not retire from her position. A
swarm of Southern riaemen were thrown
out to slay the two bold Federals; but no
one hit them, and they worked on calm
ly, until General Whiting generously
interfered, and said. "Such gallant fel-
lows deserve TO live; cease firing, my
lads, at them" So the iron was cut
away.

A calculatine Brideefoom.

I've known some very mean men in

was Hugo Himmelman, who made his
wife dig potatoes to pay for tho marriage
license. | must tell you that story Of

they used TO be when was boy. Hugo

Dor he is, too. Well, when he was going
to get married to Gretchen Kulp, he
goes down to Parson Rogers, at Digby,
to get license.
"Parson," said he, whats the price
of license 2"
six dollars" said he.
"Six dollars" said Hugo, " that's a
dreadful sight of money Couldn't ysu
take less ;"
No" said he, "that's what they cost
me at the Secretary's Office at Halifax.
+" Well, how much do you ak for pub

"Three Sundays " says Hugo, well,
that's long time too. But three Sun
days only make fortnight after all two
for the covers an one for the inside like;
and six dollars is a great amount of
money for q poor man to throw away"
So of he went jogging toward home,
feeling about as mean as a new sheared
sheep, when all at once bright thought
came into his head, and back he went as
fast as his horse could carry him.
Parson," said he, I've changed my
mind. Here's the six dollars; I'll tie
the knot tonight with my tongue that i

and just seven shillings over; for there
