You will hear her soon. She will
fly from one part Of the country to
another, and you will have an OPP
portunity to judge for yourselfhow
far below the truth is this my i'm
perfect sketch Of the sweet singer
Of Sweden.
You have often noticed how
much the pleasure Of heaven is ex-
pressed IN music. The song Of
Moses and the Lamb, the voice Of
harpers harping with their harps,
the songs Of angels, as well the
singers as the players on instru-
ments, shall be there; and they
sing new song, and in every va
rlety the joy of heaven is express
ed in the language of music.
know not, o / know not
What social JOYS are there,
What raliancy OF glory,
What light beyond compare.
They stand, those halls Of Sion,
COnjubilant with song,
And bright with many an angel
And all the mart! y thIOnS.
Ghe Prince is ever in them,
Tine daylight is serene.
ehe pastures Of the blessed
Are decked in glorious sheen
There is the throne Of David
And there from care released,
The song Of them that triumph,
The shout of them that feast
The highest joys Of heaven are
illustrated to us in Scripture under
the ideas of song, and so it is quit
likely there are no purer, sweet
er, higher pleasures here on earth,
than such as are found in music
Not for all: not for me, certainly,
for can find more enjoyment in
something else than in hearing
mortals sing. / DO not know much
of anything about angels, singing
but the most of the sons aud
daughters of men have thrills Of
pleasure in hearing music, that moth
ing else affords. The ragged ur-
chins in the street crowd about the
perapatetic minstrel and rejoice
Fashion is glad when Nilsson sings.
Music touches the universal soul

The Imperial Razor.

A writer in the Ectite Presse
gives US particulars about the man.
ner in which certain crowned
heads and other distinguished NOR
tails in Europe get shaved. King
William the First, of Prussia, the
author tells US, has all his life long
shaved himself, and still performs
that task every morning. 1t is a
very light one, though, the King
wearing nearly his full whiskers.
Napoleon is shaved by his old val
ct de chambre, Jean, who has cul-
tivated his imperial masters chin
and cheeks for over thirty years.
At the Tuilleries people say he is
not good barber, but the Empe-
TOR is we'll satisfied with him.
Napoleon's morstache and goatee
are carefully waxed every MORN
ing, and some say the Emperor
has dyed them ever since 1859.
Prince Napoleon, who never
wears a beard, because that would
lessen his striking resemblance to
his uncle, Napoleon l., is regularly
shaved by one ot-the most skillful
French BARRIERS. Victor Emman-
uel shaves himself, but not regu-
larly, which accounts for the some
what rough appearance which his
face presents every now and then.
Francis Joseph pays more atten-
tion TO the appearance of his face,
and is shaved every morning by
one of his Wallets. Bismarck shaves
himself every day, except when
he is in the country. On these
occasions he often allows his whole
beard to grow for weeks. His
great rival and adversary, Count
Won Beust, is extremely particu-
lar about his personal appear
ance. He always dresses very
neatly, and both his barber and
hsir-dresser understand their busi-
ness thoroughly.

Horrible case Of Hydro
phobia.

On Thursday, Mr.. Haley was
found TO be rapidly becoming
weaker from the growing fFeouen-
cy and violence OF the kydFopho-
biac spasms. In the afternoon
he became SO violent that it was
found dangerous to be in the
room, and the combined efforts
of -four men were required to keep
the madman in bis bed, when the
spasms were upon him. DR.. .Ad-
am called upon the Mayor in the
afternoon and requested some po-
lice force to aid In tying him fast.
Several persons went to the house
and succeeded in securing him.
During one of his attacks the hy-
drophobist scratched one Of the
persons who was with him This
person was in the utmost alarm
in regard to the scratch. It was
proposed yesterday afternoon
that it would be proper, and IN
the emergency necessary to give
the patient chloroEorm to such an
extent as to rid him of all bis
misery in this world. Thi, bis
family would not allow, and the
patient lies, up to our latest ac-
count, in dying agonies. To take
the life of a human being is sur
rounded with the grayest RESPONSE
bilities. The circumstances must
be the most alarming, and only
done when it Is necessary to pre-
serve life or as penalty for crime.
In the present case the family and
every other person that duty or
necessity calls near the patient,
are in danger. To have the hor.
rid disease spread in this eommu-
nifty, even to the extent of one
case; seems terrible tocontempIate.
1t is mercy at times to take life.
when death is inevitable, and
the present instance seems to war
rant it. 1t is a question that the
family and the authorities must
determine. - Springfield Adrer-

An Extraordinary Sian
der Suit.

Miss Della W. Moore, formerly
a teacher in one of the primary
schools in New York, brought
suit before the Superior Court in
that city, ON Thursday, against
one John H. Bonnell. a young
man, laying her damages at slO,.
600. She charges that in Janu.
ary, 1868, Bonneh circulated re-
port that he was married to her,
and that they had lived together.
When apprised of this Miss Moore
at once sent for Bonnell, who de-
clared that he was sorry for what
he had said, and voluntarily made
an affidavit before a notary that
he was not married to her, and
that his previous remarks were
untrue. She then forgave him
and let the matter drop. Soon af.
ter, the slander, as Miss Moore calls
it, was repeated, and when it came
to the ears of the principal of her
school, she was forced to resign her
position, which was worth 500 or
$500 year. Mr.. Bonnell, in de-
fence, produces the records of St.
Paul's Methodist Episcopal Church
of New York, upon which it is
shown that he was married to the
plaintiff by the late DIR. Nc
Clintock, November 26, 1864. He
states that last January he made
the remarks in question when in
formed that Miss Moore was about
to be married, and he contends ;hat
he did not exceed his lawful rights
as a husband, even if he used the
obnoxious words he is accused of.
There is evidently some mistake
here. Just where it exists the
trial of the case may make plain,
but at present q more distressing
tangle was never brought before
q court for adjudication.

Outside, the morning sun shone bright;
Inside, the dough she deftly pounded.
Her little fingers sprinkled flour,
And rolled the pie-crust up in masses;
passed the most delightful hour
Mid butter, sugar and molasses.
With deep reflection, her sweet eyes
Gazed on each pot and pan and kettle;
She sliced the apples, filled her pies,
And then the upper crust did settle.
Her ripping waves of golden hair
In one great coil were tightly twisted;
But locks would break it here and there.
Ard curl about where'er they listed
And then her sleeve came down, and
Fastened it up-her hands were doughy !;
On, It did take the longest time,
Her arm, Ned, was so fair and snowy.
She blushed and trembled, and looked shy !:
Somehow that made me all the bolder
Her arch lips looked so red that L
Well-found her head upon my shoul-

We're to be married, Ned, next month
Come and attend the wedding revels,

Are the most miserable devils!

And if you are uncertain whether
You dare to make due demand
Why, just try cooking pies together.

abide by the decision of the widow
of Paul Beales. She had been
waiting all those years, hopeful
that the deeps of time would give
up their secrets some day and
when she saw the picture of Dam
iel Clarkson, she recognized her
husband, and fell fainting to the
floor.
at that day wretch subsisted
in California Who earned his igno-
minious bread by blackmailing the
citizens in the columns of a vile
print. He began by calling Dan
iel Clarkson a bank robber and a
thief, and said he was a fine fig
ure for an Anunyamenta. He
filed his paper with the.name of
Paul Beales and the. whole city
looked up sstonished to see its
most respectable merchant ma.
ligned in this way. If Clarkson
had killed the black mailer he
would have been justified on eve-
ry side. Not SO. He protested that
he was always Daniel .Clarkson,
and that he never heard of Paul
Beales, and SO solemnly did he
aver this, not one of BIS friends
waveled in bis: support. But the
printing wretch grew more cir
cumstantial with every issue, and
at last the friends of the mer-
chant said:
''Clarkson, you must 60 back
to Williamsport and show your
self. You must tace this thing.
We believe you and will see you
through"
He said, with all cheerfulness,
that he would take the first steam
er, and SO he did, accompanied by
many supporters, and cheered as
the ship left her deck by a great
crowd. He left behind him in
San Francisco two hundred thou
sand gold dollars worth of prop
erty.
AS the company was crossing
the Isthmus Of Panama, on mules,
Daniel Clarkson was missing some
where on the way, and for three
years he disappeared anew. At
last they found him working in
candle factory in Cincinnati,
dressed like laborer, and poor
and desperate. The California
boys put him on his feet. They
said:
"Clarkson, there is only one
way to do this thing. Begin a.
the beginning, and return to Will
Transport and your wife,"
He said be would do all that
they asked. They paid the mon
ey he had absoonded with and
lost. They persuaded the wife
be had in California to give him
up quietly. His own wife, who
lived alone those years, was glad
to have him lack on any terms;

A Talk with californians.

the other day, "and we'll give
you something to write about"
"For instance7r
"We'll'tell you the story Of
Paul Beales."
"Wlio was Paul Beales."
Paul Bealss was bank cashier
at, or near Williamport, Penna.,
along about the year '49. In those
days there were no express com.
panies, and once quarter, Paul
Beales, like all the bank cashiers
OF interior Pennsylvania had to 60
Philadelphia to adjust his balance
with the bank which corresponded
with hiso own. Paul started one day
from Williamsport with $4,000
which he was to take in person to the
Farmers'and Merchants Banks, and
he arrived at Philadelphia next
day by noon. He was a temper
ate, virtuous, respected married
man, popular with everybody and
we'll to-do.
But on this occasion Paul Beales
was possessed with the devil OF
postponement, and being tired of
travelling lie did not go promptly
to the bank, bat lounged about
the hotel till evening. Then he
felt the other demon Of reckless
ness, that never came before, come
to him and suggest that he
make night of it. In a few
minutes he was in q gambling
saloon, and had shortened his ac-
couht some thousands of dollars.
The next morning the bank re-
ceived three-fourths of the money
from Williamsport, by anonymous
hand, and Paul Beales was miss
ing. They searched for him high
and low, in vain. 1t was believed
that he had been murdered, and
his widow put on mourning, while
all his community grieved for him.
About that time there arrived
at California one Daniel Clarkson,
Gne looking, affable man, with
little money but big will, and he
plunged at once into mining and
business.
He was honest and popular, and
ever man, woman and child soon
learned to love him. He was
married, after some years, to
Pacific woman, one who was a dead
shot with pistol, and had all the
virtues that bloom beyond the
Sierra Nevadas, and in course of
time we had nominated Daniel
Clarkson for Anunyamentc or
Mayor of the city of San Fran
cisco.
While he was walking one day
on Montgomery street, a man
from Pennsylvania stepped up to
him suddenly and putting out his
hand. said:
paul, how do you do"
"Right well, 1 thank you sir"
exclaimed Daniel Clarkson =
"But"-after a pause ''you have
mistaken me for some one else.
"Excuse me-" said the man,
"but l was sure / had found Paul
Beales, of Williamsport Pennsyl-
vania."
Daniel Clarkson continued on
down the street; pretty soon ne
came to a duguerreotype saloon,
before the door of which, con-
spicnous in a show case, hung a
portrait of himself, the most pop
ular man in San Francisco
Bearded and grown older, and
with that look of philosophic
thought which wise experience
gives, he made the prompt resolve
to buy a picture of Daniel Clark
son, ard send it to the Mayor OF
WiIliamspOrt, to inquire if he re-
sembled in any manner the Paul
Beales. This, perhaps, was the
madness that let's out murder;
but confident and self-possessed,
the fugitive cashier did it. The
Mayor and his friends unused
over the picture, and saw aresem-
blance, but at last concluded TO
