The ESGL1sHMAN's 'AT.-The London
papers are ridiculing the invariable custom
Of Englishmen of wearing the tall beaver
hat in all countries and climates, and are
making a savage effort to abrogate the use
Of it entirely. The London Globe says:
"Meet an Englishman at Moscow in mid
winter, and he will risk the frost-bite of
lis ears sooner than lay aside the browning
absurdity Of his State attire. Follow him
to Calcutta, and gala day at Government
house will find him Drawing sunrstroke for
the sake of his home traditions. 1t is
likely enough that even the up country set
tier in Australia may don tall hat on Sum
day and fancy that it brings back flavor
Of old-country associations. Go to West
End church next Sunday in wide-awake,
and mark the effect upon the beadle. You
will see at glance that society has its de-
mands upon you, which it is not safe to ig-
more. A tall hat, even when Of the most
unexceptionable manufacture, cannot be
correctly described as pretty or becoming
but it is much better to wear it patiently
and to all appearances lovingly, to the end
of your days, than to be withered by the
sCorn Of an entire congregation"

STRANGE OPTICAL DEFEcTs.-Among the
most successful men Of business in our city
is @ gentleman who is entirely unable to
read, and did not even know his letters
until after he was twenty-one years Of age.
On first being sent to school, boy, his
teacher found it impossible to make the lad
distinguish between A and B, fogged him
over and over again in the good old style,
and finally dismissed him as incorrigibly
stupid. The boy in reality had abilities
far above mediocrity, but found he could
not learn to read !; and driven to despera-
ton by his teacher, rebelled against him,
but determining that if no scholar as far as
"book, learning" Was concerned, he would
not be left behind in other knowledge, be-
haved with due diligence and propriety in
all that came within his power.
1t was no. until he had attained his ma
jority thai, putting on pair of spectacles
from, accidental curiosity, he discovered
how the. words and letters which always be-
fore had presented to his eyes the appear
ance Of nothing more than blurred, indis.

never learned to read. He availed himsel1

lously escaped injury. The cause of these

A few mornings since, says the Philadel-

and Signed Viola" in neat hand. The
writer stated that two years ago she was ri
ding near Paramount Park, Philadelphia,
whenlshe was thrown from the saddle, and
Temple came to her rescue. She fell In
love with him at once, and afterWard wrote
him two letters telling him go. As he paid
no attention to them, she resolved that no
other woman should wed him, and en-
ployed four Spanish asgsssins at $1,000
apiece to kill him. She afterward CON
cluded to. make no more attempts at his
life, but she had not On opportunity to get
word to her hired accomplices before the
last attempt was made. She says she is
wealthy, and highly educated; that she is
now going to Europe, and that he is in no
more danger, as she now has lost her love
for him, and would not marry him. Tenn
pie says he remembers the circumstance Of
rescuing the lady; that he ssked her if she
