s@- The Liberal Christian says -
The future Of Liberal Christianity
depends upon whether it can pray.
If it is not piety as well as a
philosophy, it will perish. But if it
can invigorate faith, strengthen as
piration, deepen reverence and trust,
subdue self love, and open souls to
the influencing Spirit of God-if it is
not merely religious, but a religion
it is heir to the kingdom and holds
the keys of the future in it's hand"

The refreshment room offered q
a delicate and grateful entertainment
to the most epicurean taste; lemon
sherbet, straw berries, ice cream and
delicious c,ke of all kinds, for max
ing which Madison ladies are pre-
eminently distinguished, were in
abundance.
But browning all, and shining con.
spicuously as proof of the well
known taste of our hostess, were the
flowers, which were of a quantity and
quality rarely seen in a town that
can boast only one small greenhouse.
Mid this scene of music, dancing,
love and flowers we almost forgot we
were part and parcel of a busy, prac-
tical!world.in which nobody believed,
nowadays, that there ever was a
golden age"
So pinching ourselves until we are
practical, we commence scrutinizing
what everybody chad on" OF
course the gentlemen looked like
crows among the brilliant birds OF
Paradise that fitted about. There
was some very fine dressing, SO some
one who is an fat in the matter sai d,
rose colored, sky blue and sea green
silks but the prettiest dresses, to US,
were those worn by several young
ladies, made of white carleton, mus
lin or grenadine, short as walking
dress, with two ruffies on the skirt
and o bright colored sash about the
waist. We espouse the long train
cause, generally, but the ease and
grace with which these simple and
attractive dresses were worn, con-
vinced us that brevity is virtue
elsewhere than in wit. No tattered
remnants of material, no pouting lips
or distracted partners rushing anx.
iously about with pins. So we went
home we'll satisfied with the time
devoted to the beautiful.
We do not know whether there
are any lakes or not near Lancaster
Probably the readers of the Herald
are cognizant of the fact, by this
time, that Madison has lakes, an d
that Madison thinks them a great
acquisition. What the common and
great organ are to Boston, or the
Mineral Springs to Waukesha, so are
Menona and Mendoza to our dotin g
senses.
Lakes are good for fishing, skating
and-and picnics. Picnics That il

Madison Correspondence.

FRIEND HERALD Did you ever
go out in your best and most uncom-
Portable !drapery to make ceremoni-
out calls, where you grudged over
five minutes to any one of your dear
ten thousand and one intimate
friends, because you would make the
hired barouche and driver pay? No
Well, then you do not know what a
fruitful, patient, durable topic is "the
weather" Always ready to be call
ed upon is this same subject and as
we are apt to "ride willing horse
to death, we turn to .'the weather
as the Introductory word in this let>
ter, feeling that it's age and respect
ability entities it to an entrce and a
welcome everywhere.
The weather for the past ten days,
until yesterday, has been delightful
ly warm and dry, taking a farmers
view of the matter, who pronounces
it fine growing weather, tho ugh it
smacketh rather too much of ice
water and palm leaf fans for the com>
fort Of human beings, whose growth
is not retarded by moisture.
But in spite of the heat, there has
broken out an epidemic which threat.
ems all the owners Of roomy DWELL
ings in the city-parties, private
parties of the most enjoyable charac>
ter to party lovers, and as one is
similar in general characteristics to
all, we will meHtion but one particu-
larry. Knowing how superior the
sterner sex are to such frivolities,
how editors never descend to des-
cribing, infinitely, the dress and all
that, we devote this letter especially
to the ladies, knowing they will APP
preciate, with q sisters curiosity, all
we tried to see for them.
The Mayor and Lady issued cards
for large party, which was attend
ed by many Of our citizens and
their friends visiting them.
There that's enough for the gems
tlemen to know, but we will tell you
all about it, mesdanaeS. The grounds,
which are among the finest in the
city, were illuminated, and the beau
ty of the scene and heat of the even
ing tempted many to promenade the
walks, while the music, proceeding
from the piazza, added a greater
charm, until we thought "Arabian
Nights" had all come true. On the
broad piazzas were scattered sofas
and easy chairs, where brilliantly
arrayed fair ones had sought the cool |
air, and sat waving their fans and |
chatting pleasantly. As we passed |
in, more active gayeties saluted us,
and after receiving welcome from
our courteous host and hostess and
their daughter we slowly made our
way through the brilliantly lighted
drawing rooms.
Four rooms had the carpets cover
ed with canvas, and there Terpsichore
held undisputed and joyous sway.

SUICIDE OF AN AUSTRIAN NoBLE.-The
Pail Nall Gazette gives the following ac-
count Of the suicide Of prominent Aus
trian nobleman at Vienna. It furnishes still
another illustration of the sorrowful and
disgraceful influence of what is mildly
called speculation
Count Wratislaw was one Of the hand
soonest and most popular Of the young no.
bles of'the Austrian Court, where he held
the dignity OF Chamberlain of the Imperial
Kitchen. Shortly after returning to his
residence from the court-dinner given at the
Hof burg to the Crown Prince Of Prussia, he
stabbed himself with dagger, and the ply
Sicians who examined his lifeless body on
the following morning found that he had
died from the internal bleeding produced
by his wound.
He was victim to the mania of specula-
ton which has Of late become so rife in
Viennese fashionable society. He was one
of the founders Of the Vienna Bank, in
which he occupied the post of president at
| the time Of his death. AT the beginning OF
| August the shares Of the bank stood at $50,
| but during the late crisis they fell to be-
tween 60 and 20. This sudden depreciation
caused a loss to the Count of 100000. As
his own fortune was too small to bear so
heavy charge, his relations came to his as
sistance and enabled him to meet the whole
| of his liabilities but he seems to have felt
so acutely the humiliation Of making his
family suffer for his failures that he put an
end to his life.

The Chicago Tribune, in an article on
money and trade in the West, does not take
a very encouraging view Of the situation. 1t
says:
at is probable that this falls business
will be done for very small profits, and in
many instances no profits at all; but with
solvent merchants and sound banks that IS
the worst that can result from the present
condition of things. The demand
from merchants for accommodation is larger,
and some packers are preparing for sea-
son of activity by arrangements for funds to
be used few weeks hence. Such applIca-
tons are met by bankers with moderate
freedom, because they have expected and
prepared for just this Kind or Il demand !;
but there is a disposition to contine all ac-
commodations to short time"
Tunnels are now being constructed under
the Thames with much greater ease and at

EXCITING SroRT.-The example set by Sir
Ceylon has been followed by many English
men, who have become tired of the modern
sport of shooting pheasants, partridgess, and
grouse, almost rs tame as barn-door fowls.
A party of these modern Nimrods recently
arrived at Grahanstown, Cape Of Good
Hops, after al eighteen months excursion
to the country lying around Lake Ngami.
They had shot eighty-tWo elephants, eleven
white rhlnoceroses, thirty-seven black rhino-
ccroses, six girafes, twenty-eight Duftalocs,
four koodoOs, nine oryX, seventeen Glands,
twenty-one sea-cows, two leopards, ten
lions, and great quantities of smaller game.
Their wagons were heavily loaded with the
lt.sl;s, horns. skins, &C., of these animals.
