Episode in the Life Of Julia Dean.

The New Orleans Republican, in chapter de-
voted to Julia Dean, and in speaking of her con-
nection with the Rochester Theater, of which
Edwin Dean was the manager, tells the follow
ing story:
One little episode connected with her early
| days in that little theater over the canal has
never been made public. AS one of the few who
knew the facts as they transpired, we give them
now when there is no longer fear that the publi-
cation may awaken memories long stilled in her.
Among the girls engaged in the ballet by Mr.
| Dean at season Miss Parsons, the only
daugher of poor window, who had also two
sons. The older of them, Frank, a lad we'll on
in his teens, was accustomed to attend his sister
| to the theater at rehearsals and in the evening
He soon became madly devoted to the youthful
star, Julia Dean, and he and others cognizant
of the affair believed that his boyish affection
had awakened corresponding sentiment in her
heart. The of his sister was soon turned
over to the younger brother, Frank walking with
his inamorata to and from rehearsals.
| Mr.. Dean was rather irritable, and at times
gruf and unpeasant-especially towards Frank
whom he did not view with favorable eye.
One morning Frank late, rehearsal being
over when he came upon the stage. To his
question: where is Julia ?'' Mrs. A., the
''old woman" of the company, and lady who
delighted in teasing, replied that she had gone
home, adding that she had given her father
promise to have no more to say to him. At this
moment Julia came upon the stage. Parsons
asked, 'FIs it as Mrs. A says?" The gay
young girl gave laughing affirmative, and went
out no doubt believing that he would come too
Instead of following her for explanation, he
waited moment, than bade Mrs. A good
bye, and left the building.
An hour so after he reached home, COM
planned of headache and retired to his room. s.
few hours later his mother, going to his room 70
ascertain his condition, found the corpse of her
son stretched upon the bed, an empty vial which
had held laudnum telling how the unhappy boy
had found death. This is the story as that
mother, some months after, told it to us and
we have reason, having known all the parties
intimately a lad knows his associates, to
doubt its entire truth.

To CONSERVATIVE UNION MEMO party is
perfect, and party is without unprincipled
and impracticable members. But in times like
these we must overlook small things and en-
deavor to maintain great principles. Speaking
of the rebel sympathizing Democracy and the
Union party, the Portland Oregonian says =
- Between these parties the citizen must choose
There is no halfway ground between them.
And though there may be, and necessarily must
be some who do not approve of every measure of
the Union party, let them ask themselves what
they the country have to gain by rejecting
this party of tried principles and approved fidel-
iy to the country and placing in power those
whose principles notoriously dangerous to
the public peace, and inimical to the very prn-
ciples on which National Government is found
ed. The Union party doubtless has its mper-
fections, but shall we be such fools to call in
an enemy to the substance of any system to re-
move its corruptions, to supply its defects or
perfect its constructon?' ~

Itha frequent subject of remark
10 The Ohio Valley, that settling the

stop the destruction Of forests, rs The
means Of preserving the rivers. But
here, with settlement, exactly the re-
verse phenomena arc presented, and
the quantity Of rain IN western Ne
braska and Kansas hns doubled with
in the memory Of man. Perhaps
this Il due somewhat TO The trees
planted on new farms, but | think
also that the breaking up Of tho sod
allows II to absorb more moisture
than II could in the prairie state, and
in many instances turning a hundred
acres of sod will renew an old spring.
Fresh streams are starting Ia gullies
which have been dry for hundreds,
perhaps thousands Of years. Thus
Springs break out IN the thirsty will
derness, and streams Of water in the
dry groundp Here is an important
principle at work, which will enable
agriculture to make great advances
on what is now the American desert.
Akin to these are the facts Of heavy
rains this summer in Colorado and
California, States where the rule Of
dry summers seems to have been in
variable heretofore. Who shall d.
vine the law Of such revolutions?

"The corn planter does ihe treble

be so arranged as to plant thick or
thin, as the farmer desires. II Is
light and easily handled, and cannot
possibly get out Of repair. Being
simple in It's construction, any negro
can work It; and II will do good
work until il wears out.
The cotton planter is on very
much the same principle as the corn

An eId English ritual required Tie
wedding ring 70 be placed Successive
y on The thumb, ihe ioreanger and
The middle finger, % symboIise The
dottflne Of il'e Trinity. This wsio
be done A. The words 'In the name
Of The Father, The Son and tho Holy
Ghost were pronounced, and with
the word "Amen," tho ring was tobc
placed on ilc fourth finger, where I,
was 10 remain.
The old writer's on this subject de-
light In finding mystical reasons for
every part Of the marriage ceremony,
and not content with repeating the
ancient superstition respecting the
left hand, they declare in addition,
that this hand was chosen, as inferior
to the right, in token ofthc servitudc
and subjcction into which the bride
Is brought by matrimony. DR.. John
son appears to have held a similar
opinion, since he somewhere defines
a ring as "a circular instrument,
placed upon the noses Of hogs and
the fingers Of a woman to restrain
them and brighten into subjcction."
Wedding rings were not always
worn plain as now, but at one time
more nearly resembled modern be-
trothal tokens, in being chased, set
with stones, and inscribed with en-
blems and notices. The ring is used
in most ceremonies of Christian mar
riage, exceptin the Society Of Friends,
but even many Quaker ladies wear a
wedding ring after, although it is not
employed during the marriage cere--
mony. dll
| am informed that the wedding
ring does not obtain among the Nor:
mons, probably from economical rea-
sons. .iieTosisi,) 40 WonNfaos
1T has been remarked already that
there is no trace of this custom in the
Talmud, nor in the ancient Jewish
history; but the modern Jews have
not only adopted the wedding ring,
but make II most important feature
in their marriage services. Accord
ing to the ordinances Of modern Ju-
daism, it is required to beof a certain
value.
In the English church a ring is
absolutely necessary to the ceremony,
but as no metal is specified, silver,
copper, OF iron is as allowable as
gold. .,,s, ,.a
In ireland II is not uncommon for
the same ring to be used for many
marriage ceremonies, which remains
in the custody Of the priest.

with unbroken skins. Smooth ones
are preferable. Put them into a weak
brine, and let them remain in IL
thirty-six or forty-eight hours. Then
put them into Q pickle composed Of
one part Of vinegar and two parts Of

for good strong vinegar. Keep them
pressed under the liquor. A bad
smelling scum frequently collects on
the surface, but il will not taint or
hurt the fruit, To prepare for use

has been tried for years, and has been

THE THIMBLE.-The name of this little
instrument is said to have been derived from
thumb-bell," being at first Humble and
afterward thimble. 1t is of Dutch inven.
ton, and was brought to England about the
year 1905, by John Lofting, who commenc-
ed its manufacture at Islington, near Lon
don, and pursued it with great profit and
success Formerly iron and brass were
used, but latterly steel, silver, and gold have
taken their places In the ordinary manu-
facture, thin plates of metals are introduced
into die, and then punched into shape
In Paris, gold thimbles are manufactured to
a large extent Thin sheets of sheet-iron
are cut into dies of about two inches diane
ter. These being heated red hot, are struck
with pinch into number of holes, gradu-
ally increasing in depth, to give them the
proper shape. The thimble is then trim
med, polished, and indenled around its out
er surface with number of little holes, by
means of small wheel. It is then convert
ed into steel by the cementation process,
tempered, secured, and brought to blue
color. A thin sheet of gold is then intro
duced into the interior, and fastened to the
steel by means Of a polished steel mandril.
Gold leaf is then applied to the outside, and
attached to it by pressure, the edges being
fastened in small groove made to receive
them. The thimble is then ready for use
Those made in this manner do not wear out,
as so many ordinary gold thimbles do, but
will last for years. The gold coating, if cut
away by needles. may be easily replaced,
but the steel is of an excellent quality. and
very durable l4
