and ask Mr.. how il got

GRECIAN BEND STYLE OF WALKING.

a gentleman the other evening, of an intel

I" look at these heels" she added. exten-'
ding her foot, "and tell me how | can

how could she. poor thing, There from
under her skirts peeped foot, naturally
pretty, but dreadfully deformed by high
and narrow heel that, with vulgar imper-
tinence, had pushed itself beyond its prop
er place, until it rested fairly under the
instep, and threw the body inevitably for

wear such shoes; for are they not the
style and wearing them, there wss no
escape from the awkward and constrained
manner of walking which is so ridicuLd

plaintively; and | am sure I don't carry
myself in such an absurd style as many of
the ladies you see upon the street" No
doubt many are merely initiating the fash

do; but the origin of the Grecian bend is
in the present style of fashionable shoes.

No CHANGE-Things do not change in
the East As Abraham pitched his tent
in Bethel, so does an Arab sheik now set
up his camp; as David built his palace on
Mount Zion, so would Turkish pasha
now arrange his house in every streetmay
be seen the hairy children of Esau, squat
ting on the ground, devouring mess of
lentils like that for which the rough hun
ter sold his birthright; along every road
plod the sons of Rechab, whose farthers,
thousands of years ago, bound themselves
to drink no wine, plant no tree, enter with
in no door, and the children have kept
the oath; at every Khan young men around
the pan of parched corn dip their morse
into the dish; Jobs plow is still used, the
the seed is still trodden into the ground by
asses and kline; olives are shaken from the
bough as directed by Isaiah; and the graf
ting of trees is unchanged since the days
of Saul The Syrian house is still as for
merly, only stone tent What is seer
now in Bethany may be taken as the exact
house of Lazarus, where Mary listened and
Martha toiled, or as the house of Simon
the leper, where the precious box of oint
ment was broken, and whence Judas sci
out to betray his Master.

Whipple, of Sheffield, Ashtabula county,
Ohio, was butcheringa hog, in an effort to
grasp one of its fore legs he got the large
finger of the left hand into the animals
mouth, and the end was at once bitten off.
The finger was promptly attended to by
surgeon. Four or FIVE days aferward he
waited upon the docter again and had the
finger dressed. Although the wound pre-
sented no unusual appearance, the patient
was seized with chills, headache, etc., and
began to sink, and in less than fortnight
from the occurrence he died The animal,
it is said, frothed at the mouth, and its
fercness suggested the rifle as means of
bringing it down, which was discouraged
by Mr.. Whipple, under the opinion that
he was equal to the task Of sticking it. He
was worthy young man of about 33 years

FATAL AccIDENT-The Mendocin

FATAL AcCIDENT.-The Mendocino
Herald has the following:
George Elliot, nine years of age, fatally
wounded himself at Round Valley, Men
docino County, Cal, Jan 9th. Unknown
to his parents, he procured pistol at the
house, and, in company with a little In
dian boy, mounted horse and started
down to the field in quest of something tc
shoot at. Seeing bird, the little fellow
dismounted, and finding that he could not
cook the pistol readily, he placed the
muzzle against his stomach, so that he
use the fingers of both hands for the pur-
pose. While so doing the pistol was dis
charged, the ball entering about the groin
He, however, mounted his horse and
rode home. Medical assistance was prompt
ly at hand, but the wound was mortal
Death released the little fellow from his
misery the day following.

with her conqueror, and the happy pair were
united in matrimony a few days after the

has not yet been adopted by California

Signs and Omens.

casa Hartz" sends the following orr
ginal signs and omens, which he vouches
for as correct, to the New Orleans Times !:
/. To walk along the street at midnight,
and find pin pointing towards you, sig
nifes good luck To turn corner sudden,
at the same hour, and find pistol pointing
toward you, signifies the necessity, that you
should Immediately "get up and git" be
hind something. A big tree is preferable.
2. To buy tripe on Friday is bad luck.
To buy it on Monday or Tuesday or any
other day of the week, on credit, is worse,
because the tripe man will make you pay
for it out of your salary on Saturday.
Tripe isn't good at al, unless you make it
into hash, and put onions into it. Wethers-
field onions are the best.
3. If you leave home in the morning
and forget something you wanted to make,
something you wanted to take down town
with you, it's bad luck to turn without
making an Y mark and splitting in the
center of it, But it's dog-on'd sight
worse if your wife got Up mad that morn
ing, because she might fire breakfast
plate at you for coming back when her
mad was up. In short l wouldn't go back
at any time on any occasion. Wait till
next morning
4. If you see a spark in candle wick
at night, it is a sign you are going to get a
letter. For fear the letter might be dun
for your last board bill, it is best to sleep
in house where they use gas, Candles
are good in the country; but gas is best
in the city if you pay your gas bills regu-
larly.
When black cat comes into your
room, it is a sign of death. In order to
make it certainty, should advise the
killing of the cat This will probably avert
catastrophe in the family that might
cause grief, and won't hurt the cat much
only one ninth.
6. If lady puts on her stockings
wrong side outwards it is a sign OF good
luck, if she does it unintentionally. 1t she
does it on purpose, it is a sign that the other
side of the stockings are not as white as
snow In view of the fact that ladies do
not wear stockings unless they are as white
as snow, this sign applies only to blue
stockings"
I. TO have your cup of tea handed you
with two spoons in the cup or saucer, is
sign there is to be a wedding. But such
signs, it is said, never occurin places visited
by Gen. Butler.
8. If you dream that you are dining at
a first class restaurant upon the choicest
viands, it is sign you went to bed hun
cry 1t is supposed that the patrons of
free lunch houses only, have dreams of this
kind.
