A LADY's OPINION OF SLEEPING CARs.-And
here, while the duskv bands of our ever at
tentive Amendment" prepares our couch for
the night watches, let me say one word about
sleeping cars. know they are elegant in
every detail-that everything is done to In
sure the comfort of travellers, so that they
may sleep as comfortably and rest as securely
as Ger they might in ''Home, sweet Homes"
but how about the dressing conveniences
A woman's toilet, to be satisfactorily per.
formed, demands some other position than
prone upon the face. Likewise il is some
what more agreeable to perform portions of
ones toilet unobserved by the multitude.
Men either are net burcened with moeesty,
or they have minds that soar so far above the
feminine, that they give no thought to the
embarrassment attendant upon the method
and manner of disporting ones self 10 those
close quarters. A woman carefully extin-
guishes herself behind curtains, shyly unloos-
ems lace, envelopes herself decorously in a
large waterproof. not daring to lay aside her
chignon for fear of surprise, and so slows
herself away uncomfortable and depressed.
The stranger who occupies the berth above
her leisurely divests himself Of outer gar
ments, pulls off boots, loosens suspenders.
and bounds into bed with graceful case, rath-
er enjoying the situation. / think if there
could be ladies' car fer sleeping and toilet,
exclusive of gentlemen, it would be great
advancement in wayfaring civilization. 1
thought SO this morning, especially when
awoke from uneasy slumbers to find the foot
board fallen, and a group Of serene-browed
men gazing smilingly on my slumbering
beauty. Let us have separate cars, good
people. and we can ask nothing more Of YOU
in the way of luxury and restful ease.

BAYARD TAYLOR ON BRIGuAM.-Bayard Tay-
lor, in one of his late letters to the New York
Tribune, thus speaks of Brigham Young:
In few minutes Brigham Young came
out from his Office. At the first glance you
would take him to bea bank or railroad Pres
ident, and his quick, straightforward, busi-
ness-like manner carries out the impression.
| After he is seated, however, and you have a
chance of observing bis features more closely,
| the signs ola quality with which bank Pres
dents are not accustomed to deal, begin to
manifest themselves lie is both short and
broad but his thickness gives the impression
of strength, rather than corpulence. AL
though sixty-nine years old, there is no gray
in his sandy hair, and his small blue eyes are
keen and full of power. His head is large
and approaching to squareness in It's form,
and his complexion is strong, healthy red
His thin, frm-set mouth and large Jaws ex-
press an indGmitable energy. The general
expression of his face is at once reticent and
watchtul. In his greeting there was the
bandness of al acquired rather than natu-
raj courtesy. His voice is mild, even toned
and agreeable, and / can imagine that he
might make himself fascinating TO women,

first, and Il thought) seemed to be holding
himself secretly at bay for questions which
did not intend to ask. By and by, when I
referred to the similarity of the scenery to thas
of Asia Minor, and led the conversation to
the resources of the Territory, he sroke feely
fluently, and gave me considerable informa-
tion concerning the remote southern counties.
On all points Of material growth he was frank
ly communicative. While he was talking
studied his face sufficiently to detect the thres
chief qualities of his nature-great prudence,
great determination and great belief in him
self.

CURE FOR SNAKE BITE.-A medical work
of good authority gives the following:
About three years since Professor Halford,
gentleman occupying an eminent position
in the medical profession in Melbourne, de-
voted good deal of time to the subject of
snake poison, its properties and action on the
system. discovering that it acted chemically
on the blood, separating the serum and ibrin
of the liquor sanguinis from the red and
white ccrpuscles. He then found that liquid
ammonia injected into the veins possessed
the property of arrestipg the action of the
virus and restoring the blood to its natural
condition, and after repeated experiments
became so convinced of its efficacy as to en-
body the results of his researches in lecture,
which was delivered before the Medical So
ciety of Victoria, and strongly recommended
that every farmer and resident in the coun-
try districts should beprovided with syringe.
which. in the absence of physician, could
be used by the uninitiated without danger.
