IMPREssIoNs.-Ifa wafer be laid on a
surface of polished metal, which is then
breathed upon. and if, when the moisture
of the breath has evaporated, the wafer
be shaken of, we shall find that the whole
polished surface is not as it was before,
although our senses can detect no difference;
for if we breathe again upon it, the sur
face will be moist everywhere except on
the spot previously sheltered by the wa
fer, which will now appear as a spectral
image on the surface Again and again
we breathe, and the moisture evaporates,
but still the spectral wafer reappears.
This experiment succeeds after the lapse
of many months, if the metal be put aside
where its surface cannot be disturbed. If
a sheet of paper, on which key has been
laid, be exposed for some minutes to the
sunshine, and then instantaneously viewed
in the dark, the key being removed,
fading spectre of the key will be visible.
Let this paper be put aside for many
months where nothing can disturb it, and
then in darkness be laid on plate of
hot metal, the spectre of the key viii
again appear. In the case of bodies
more highly phosphorescent than paper,
the speetres of many different objects
which may have been laid on in success
sion, will, on warming, emerge In their
proper order. This is equally true of
our bodies and our minds We are involv-
ed in the universal metamorphosis
Nothing leaves US wholly as it found US,
Every man we meet, every book we read,
every picture or landscape we see, every
word or tone we hear, mingles with our
being and modifes it

WINTER SrYLEs.-A fashion writer in
the New York Ereaing Mail, says
The delightful Indian summer weather
of the last fall months has inspired our
modistes to continue the sprightly and
pleasing autumn style nearly TO the holi-
days, but there are some early winter
changes which are very becoming. The
materials for promenade. dinner and car
riage costumes are novel and pretty. The
subdued winter shades are coming in, al
though the heavy winter cloths aud furs
are as yet only used by invalids. Our
lady readers will be pleased with the early
winter styles of velour cloth. of garnet,
invisible and olive green and plum colors.
This material has comfortable wintry
look and Is really light and appropriate
Whole suits are made of 1t, the outer Pol
onaise being lined with flannel and made
to subserve the purpose of cloak. A
charming trimming for this goods is of silk
velvet Of the same color as the dress, but
deeper shades. The skirt does not admit
of trimming, as the overskirt Is elaborately
garnished and worn bouffant. The light
Fall trimmings of guipure and gros grain
have passed away with the Fall STYLES.
Another apropos material is called satine,
which is also light in fabric but wintry in
appearance, and comes of all colors, of a
generous width, and is decidedly cheap-a
good fault when the styles may change SO
quickly. Satin makes handsome prone
made suit, and with an outside sash of
castor beaver trimmed with narrow satin
folds, gives a stylish and seasonable cos
tune.

TOTAL ECLIPsE OF THE SUN.-On Thursday
the 22d instant, the sun will be totally
eclipsed at several points in the south of
Europe. The eclipse will be invisible in the
United States. The line Of central and total
phase commences about two hundred miles
south Of Cape Farewell, the southern extrem-
ity of Greenland thence runs as follows {:
Iraversing the Atlantic Ocean in a south
easterly direction, it enters Europe on the
coast of Portugal near Serdao, in the prov
ince of Alemtejo, and passing close to Tavira,
between Cadiz and Here's, and nearly over
Estepona, it crosses the Mediterranean, and
reaches the coast of Algeria, west of Oran 4;
passing eight miles south of that place, the
central eclipse is most southerly in latitude
35 deg, IS min, in the longitude of Algiers
whence, slowly rising, 1t passes near Batna,
and leaves the African continent, on the
thirty-sixth parallel, in the direction of Sici-
ly, which island is reached in latitude 81
degrees, the center of the shadow leaving it
about ten miles north of Syracuse. Further
traversing the Mediterranean, it again lands
at Previsa on the Gulf of Arta, and crossing
Thessaly, the northern part of the Archipel-
ago, the southwest of Roumelia, the Black
Sea, the Crimea, (between Balaklava and
Sevastopol,) and the Sea of Azof, finally
leaves the earth in the south of Russia, near
Novo-Tcherkask, the country of the Don
Cossacks. The time occupied in describing
this track is one hour and forty six minutes.
The breadth of the zone of totality in West
ern Europe will be about one hundred miles.

PIGEON ExPEss.-A Paris letter says
that carrier pigeons there are valued at
400 or 800 francs, or from $50 to 100.
a gentleman who had near hundred of
these valuable pigeons was lately sent out
to Tours in balloon, carrying thirty of
his pets. They are loosed with dispatches
from time to time, fly directly to the cote,
and are carried back in balloon. The
dispatches brought by pigeons are now
photographed, being reduced in size so
that dispatch of about 500 words can
be put upen piece of fine paper, not
larger than a twenty-five cent piece in
silver. With large magnifying glasses
the writing can be easily read. The pa
per is very carefully bound around a
single feather upon the body, and care
must be taken to fasten it so that the ten
sion will not incommode the bird or he
may pause to pluck out the feather.
Several birds arrived without dispatches,
and as it was clearly due to the want of
experience in fastening the paper, the own
er of the pigeons was sent out to Tours"

When the Leaves are Turning Brown

Never is my heart gay
In the budding month Of May,
Never does il beat a tune
Half so sweet in blOOmy June
Never knows such happiness
As on such a day as this,
When October dons her crown,
And the leaves are turning brown
Breathe, sweet children, soft regrets
For the vanished vlolets;
Sing, you lovers, the delights
OF the golden summer nights
Never in the summer hours
On my way such radiance shower
As from heaven falls softly down
When the leaves are turning brown
Braid your girdles, fresh and gay,
Children, in the bloom of May;
Twist your chaplets in young June'
Maidens, they will fade full sooni
Twine ripe roses, July red,
Lovers, for the dear ones head;
/ will weave my richer crown
When the leaves are turning brown.

A Cincinnati judge decides that boy,
marrying under the age of 18 years, with
out the consent of his parents or guardians,
may repudiate such marriage and marry
again, if he does not recognize his first wife
as such after he is ls. A fine opening for
scoundrelism.

CHICAGO, Jan 14-The National BriclIlayers
Union yesterday passed the following resolu-
tions:-
Whereas, The members of the National Brick
layers Union of the United States believe in the
identity of interests of labor the world over and
that an injury to one craft or calling will
eventually prove an injury to all, and it is their
duty ia carry this principle into practical effect.
and ,ollereas, The operators of the Western
Union Telegraph Company-one of the most
unscrupulous monopolies in the country-have
been compelled by its open and avowed hostility
to protective labor organizations, to strike
against its exactions.
And tohereds, Their action, with few honor
able exceptions, has been grossly misrepresented
by the press, and the facts carefully concealed
that the discharge of the San Francisco opera
tors was but part of deep-laid and long
matured scheme to destroy their organization,
which, if successful, would have resulted in the
discharging of every local circuits therefore be it
Resoloed by the National Brcklayers' Union
that it cordially endorses the straightforward
and honorable course adopted by the said
operators, and that it pledges to them their
utmost support

AFFRAY IN CHURCH.

A Choir Singer Pummels a Brother Musician.
The Louisville Journal of January IL tells this
story
Sunday night, AEbury Chapel, African N. E.
Church, located on the west side of Ninth street,
near Walnut, was the scene of an unusual oc-
currence, which created no little excitement at
the time, and resulted in an affray between two
of the sable brethren. John Dolan, one of the
parties, says he was sitting by the side OF or near
Jim Oglesby, the other party, and was engaged
in singing to the best of his ability, and, as he
thought, to the edihcation of the audience gene
rally and especially of all in his immediate vicin-
ity. John prides himself on the possession of
what he calls good voice, one of extraordinary
power, and withal of some cultivation. He was
eXering his vocal abilities to the utmost of their
capacity; and his stentorian voice drowned out
the voices of all in his neighborhood This fact
so aroused the anger of Oglesby that, not being
able to bear the thought of being conquered on
his own ground, before his own friends, and
especially in the presence of certain OF the fair
sex, towards whom he was in the habit OF cast
ing love-glances he up with his hand and let
Dolan have lis full power right in the teeth.
Dolan was just reaching the climax OF an elegant
musical passage, when his treely-tioWing tones
were suddenly checked-smothered by the un-
expected onslaught, and, for the time, the dis
tant worshippers, who had been listening with
rapture, were disappointed with their great loss
and the immediate vicinity was thrown into
great commotion in anticipation of an affray.
But Dolan was able to repress his rising wrath
and waited till the congregation was dismissed.
Outside the church Dolan waited for the ap-
pearance of Oglesby; lie then returned the blow
with compound interest, proving that his mus
cles, as we'll as his lungs, were more powerful
than those of his rival. The affray then began
in earnest-knives were drawn by both parties,
and used with a'vengeance. Men, women, and
children ran screaming with alright but still the
fray went on and ended only by the intervention
of friends after both had been considerably cut
up. Dolan had one thumb and finger cut nearly
off, and received severe cash in his face.
Oglesby was badly cut in the breast, side, and
stomach. Dolan had his wounds dressed, and is
doing very well. Oglesbys wounds have been
dressed Also but it is not known what will be
the result, as his wounds are believed to be very
severe. No arrests were made.
