Bridal Costumes a Century Ago.

To begin with the lady: Her locks
were strained upward over an-immense
cushion, and sat like on incubus on her
head, and plastered over with poma-
tUm, and then SpTinkled with powder.
The height of this tower was somewhat
over q foot. One single white rosebud
lay on its top, like an eagle on a hay
stack. Over her neck and bosom was
folded a lace handkerchief fastened in
front by bOsohl-pin rather larger tlIan
q copper cent, containing her gTandfa-
theirs miniature set in virgin gold
Her airy form was braced up in a satin
dress, the sleeves as tight as the natu-
raj SKIN of the arm, with a waist form
ed by 4 bodice, worn outside, whence
the skirt flowed off and was distended
at the top of the ample hoop. Shoes of
white kid, with peaked toes, and heels
Of two or three inches elevation, en-
closed her feet, and glittered with SPAN
giles, as her little pedal members peep
ed curiously out.
Now for the swain. His hair was
sleeked back and plentifully befiower-
ed, while his que projected like the
handle of q skillet His coat was q
sky-blue silk, lined with yellow; his
long vest of white satin embroidered
y, ith gold lace; his bTeeches of the
same material, and tied at the knee
with pink ribbon. White silk stock

the same hue, completed the habili-
mentS of his nether limbs. Lace ruff

How the French and Germans Fired
at GFaVelOtte.

The Tribune letter says: nit is adj
mitted here that the mitrailieuses did
much execution at close quarters
That the stories about about their do
ing execution at two thousand metres
were pure invention I now know, for
had they really shot that distance
should, in all probability, not be writ
ing this now, for ] was within / 800
yards of them, and never heard of any
of their balls coming near US. All that
did come were chassepots. After ali
the talk we had been treated to about
the great superiority, one would have
expected them to do better. But the
fact is, the French soldiers do not do
justice to their weapons, which is un-
dOuhtedly better than the needle-gun,
totally superannuated Weap pom,
though it is made to do all it is capable
of by the Germans, who never dream
of drawing trigger till they feel sure of
their aim. Their fire is, therefore, less
rapid than that of the French, but far
more deadly. Now, nothing so en-
cOuTages young troops as to lind that
the swish, swish of balls is not followed
by any very serious results. On the
other hand, it is not at all encouraging
to find that nearly every shot fired by
the enemy tells. So much so was this
the case on Thursday, that those who
were at the taking of Staarbuck by the
" infant Louis" remarked that the
French artillery practice against the
station was good, and in some cases ex-
cellent. But yesterday it is said to
have been much inferior TO what it was
at Staarbuck, when they had greater
opposition. myself thought the Prus-
sian artillery practice slow, but when
I got up on the top of the plateau Occu-
pied by the French, I saw how accurate
it had been"

Particulars Of the Tragic Affair at
Goodman, Miss.
lFrom the Goodman Star.N

Mr.. Phil. Raiford, his brother Ed. Raj
ford and Mr.. Green, all citizens of this
county, came to town on Monday even
ing. They took, perhaps, several drinks,
and doubtless some of them felt their
drinking to a limited extent; about 3
o'clock at night the party began to make
preparations to go home. Mr.. Ed. Raj
ford drove his buggy up IN front of the
hotel, ard Mr.. Phil. Raiford led his horse
up ready to mount; Green seemed lit
tie disposed to linger and manifested
some dispositiO to be noisy, but by 10
means annoying. Ed. RaifOrd got into
his baggY and he and his brother told
Green to get into the buggy that they
might all go home. just at this mo-
ment, Bowen came down from his room
in the second story of the hotel building.
and assuring to be a magistrate, order
ed several persons present to arrest the
RaifOrds and Green, accompanying his or
der with such denunciatiOns of the Raj
fOrds and Green, as: You are id set
of scOundrrels, liars, etc. Mr. Phil. Raj
ford said to Bowen, that none Ofhi par
ty had done any thing to be arrested for,
and that they were starting home, and
that they could not be arrested unless
they had done something to justify it.
Bowen, with lis pistol in his hand, under
his coat, continued his denuneiation of
the Raifords, until Mr.. Phil. Raifortl said
to him that he was acting the fool and
had better 60 to his room aud go to bed
and that they would so home. At this
point, Bowen, who seemed to imagine
that the pacific conduct of the RaifOr(ls
was indicative of cowarClice. became
keenly severe in his denunciations. These
denunciationS were repelled by Mr.. Phil.
RaifOrd, denOunciHg Bowen as q liar.
The words had not fallen from Raiford's
lips ere Bowen fired, his first shot taking
effect in the left breast of Phil. Raiford,
from the effects of which he died in one
hour. Bowers second shot took effect
in the abdomen of Ed. Raiford, and was
fired just as Ed. RaifOrd wds jumping
from the buggy to rescue his brother
Bowen fired two additional shots into
the general crowd Ofhuman beings pres
ent, not seeming TO care who he killed

while the crowd we're standing in mute

Napoleon and King William.

In Il letter to the London Times, da-
ted at Sedan, September 3, Dr. Russell,
after naWating the interview between
Count Bismarck and the Emperor Ma
poleon, co 1tinues:
At half-past eleven the articles of ca
pitulation were signed, as agreed upon
by General Wimpffen and General
Won MOltke, and 1 believe Count Bis
marc'I took part in the deliberations.
The terms are The garrison and army
of Sedan to surrender as prisoners of
war, to be sent into Germany; officers
to be liberated on parole, not to serve
again during the war; all horses, guns
and munitions of war to be given up.
The Empe-Or's detention in Germany
was understood to be part of the stip-
ulatiOn.
About two o'clock the King with
his body guard and escort of cuirassiers,
attended by the Crown Prince and
staff of general officers, proceeded to a
chateau outside Sedan and received the
Emperor, who came with his personal
followers and staff in charge of an es-
cOrt, which was ranged on the other
side of the avenue facing the cuiras-
siers.
The King and his captive retired into
the glass house off one of the saloons Of
the drawing room floor, and they could
be seen by the staff outside engaged in
earnest dialogue.
After the Interview with the King
the Emperor had few moments con-
versation with the Crown Prince, du-
ring (which he was much agita ed when
alluding to the manner of the King.
His great anxiety seemed to be not
to be exhibited to his own soldiers.
The result was, however, that his Maj
esty, wishing to avoid one mischief,
was exposed to a gre It humiliation; fer
his course had TO be altered ITO avoid
| Sedan, and thus he had to pass through
| the lines of the Prussian army.

Why Does Fanning Cool Vsg

It at first sight seems strange tIa;
the act of propelling current of warm
air against the face should produce q
sensation of GOODNESS, and yet. even
where the air is at a temperature of 9G
degrees in the shade, or even one hun
dred in the sun, the act of flaming tends
to cool us, and if we sit in a strong
draft, we may be so chilled that q Sc
we're cold will be the result. In most
cases the air is really a little colder
than the surface of the person, and a
slightly chilling effect is produced, by
the bringing of fresh particles of this
slightly cooler air in contact with the
face. But the amount of this effect is
too slight to make any marked differ
ence, and the result is evidently due to
some other cause. This cause is the
evaporation of the perspiration, and the
consequent absOrptiOl / and removal of
heat. If we pour little alcohOl-or,
still better, little ether-upOn the
hand, q sensation. of GOODNESS becomes
rapidly more intense if we blow upon
the liquid, so as to remove the YapOr as
fast asst is formed.
The rapidity with which water evap-
crates depends upon the rapidity with
which the air that is saturated with
vapor is removed, and its place sup
piled with fresh air. BY tanning our
selves we produce a current of fresh air
which, even although it be warmer
Than our bodles, will cool by the evap-

A HYMN BY DICKENS.

In the London Daily News, of February II
1916, Mr.. Dickens wrote the following verses
(which will be new to many,) elected by {
speech at one of the night meetings of th'
wives of agricultural labOrers in Wiltshire
held to petition for free trade:
Oh, God, who by the prophets hand
Didst smite the rocky brake,
Whence water came at thy command
Thy peoples thirst to slake:
Strike now upon this granite wall,
Stern, obdurate and high,
And let some drops of pity fan
For us who starYe and die.
The God who took a little child
: And set him in the midst,
And promised him his mercy mild,
AS by Thy Son Thou didSt;
Look down upon our children dear,
So gaunt. so cold, so spare,
And let their images appear
Where lords and gentry are.
Oh, God, teach them to feel how we,
When our poor infants droop,
Are weakened In our trust in Thee,
And how our spirits stoop:
For, in Thy rest, SO bright and fair,
All tears and sorrow sleep;
And their young looks, so tuli Ofcare,
Would make Thine angels weep!
The Goa, who with His finger drew
The Judgment coming on,
Write for these men what must enSue
Ere many years be gone
Oh, God, whose bow Is In tbe sky,
Let them not brave and dffe,
Until they look (too late) on high,
And see an arrow there!
Oh, God, remind them! In the bread
They break upon the knee
These sacred words may yet be read,
o. '' In memory of me!'
Oh, God, remind them of His sweet
Compassion for the poor,
And how He gave them bread to eat,
And went from door to door.

Brigham YOung's Household.

The rooms of the women are very
much alike. They are plain but com~
Portable, and furnished nearly alike
The women live in them precisely as
people do at a hotel. Each lady has
her own key, and when she goes out
she locks her door. There is little Wis
iting back and forth, and the ladies be-
have very much as guests do, at first
class hotel. Every morning and even
ing, at the ringing of the bell, the in
mates meet in the great parlOr to at
tend prayers. They sing hymn, and
Young pTays fervently. The prophet
used to eat with his wives, but he sell
dom dees so now. In the morning, on
rising, each woman puts her room in
order, and If she has children, dresses
them for breakfast. After prayers they
all go to breakfast, the laO3 with chill
dren sitting at little familyt tables, and
those without children at the. common
table. The me food is given to all,
and the billie fare is by no means a
poor one. Brigham, from time to time
designates some of his wives to take
charge of the cooking, and they remain
on duty until relieved. During the day
the women walk out, sew, sing, play
the piano insthe parlor, Or walk with
the childre Most of them spin, make
cloth and N.fior it. They are very
proud of thelr cloth and embroidery
In the evening all hands go to the the
atre, where every one of Brigham's
wives has a reserved seat. 1t is said
that Young literally supplies his wives
with money, and on fine days they
drive out and go shopping. He en-
ploys a music teael'zT, French teacher,
and dancing - for the use Of his
household. BTiSsdam's women are
well dressed, but still they have 20
work hard, and he keeps a wholesome
discipline over them.

England's Turn Next.

PiccadilIy'' writes to the World:
" The German newspapers are already
letting the cat out of the bag. When
Germany gets thro ugh with France,
which will be soon, or even before the
war with France is ended should any
thing occur to protract it, she will turn
her attention to England, whose con-
duct in many ways has been very of
fensive of late, and will thrash her out
of her boots. This is what the Cologne
Gazette, and Madgeburg Gazette, and
other German newspapers are saying,
and it is pretty well known that these
journals are generally inspired from
Berlin when they speak about foreign
affairs. We have one hundred and
fifty thousand troops at home, besides
the army in France says the AIadge-
burg Gazette, ready to sesid against
ngland or any other neutral power
who shall dare to attempt to rob us of
our victory. Does any one i'll England
believe that the British fleet and the
10000 men whom England is preparing
for the war would suffice to dictate to
such powerful nation as ours p This
may be all froth and brag, but it is sig
nificant, nevertheless, of the danger
that threatens not England only but
all Europe-the danger. not of French
but German ambition. If Prussia con-
quers France she will believe that no
bounds can be placed to her ambition,
and then we shall see lively times
For the sake of. Germany herself as
well as of Europe says a London
journal this morning, 1T is naA be
desired that Prussia shouldS sain
without rival or peer on the Continent
If there is any design to substitute a
German for Bonapartist despotism
we venture to promise that the num-
ber of the neutrals will be considerably
reduced before many months are over. y

wEDDED LOVE.

Who said that love was dead
Or lost in wild desire?
In spirits truly wed
Still burns the holy fire.
Go, bask ye in the smile
That round their fireSide plays;
And live again awhile,
The dreams Of burial days.
No scene is half SO sweet,
In palace, hall, or cot,
AS when the welded meet,
If love illumes the spot.
The cure of care and strife,
1t lights the darkest hour
LOve-love alone is life.
The hearts divinest flower.

ported as an inferior structure OF its
kind. The 'report on the Bellaire bridge
is favorable, it being stated that in its
construction the interests Of navigation
have been preserved without inconveni-
ence to the bridge, while the work gen
orally is of the most substantial char
acter. The Parkersburg bridge is also
iavorably spoken Of, and the improve
meats made thereon, whereby the de-
feet in the first location of The high
span, has been remedied by placing the
second nearer the Ohio shore, obviating
the short turn vessels were heretofore
obliged to make, are highly recon-
mended. The Covington and C!ncin-
natl bridge is declared TO be tirsI-ciaSs
structure, and no complaints are made
against it. With regard to the LOUIS,
vile and Ohio Falls bridge, it is stated
that the United States Engineer IN
charge of the canal around the Falls
has prepared for making a change as
soon as possible The modification he
suggested is to slightly change the canal
bank, when a clear opening OF one hun
dred and fifteen feet outside the canal
can be made for steamboats, that can
not pass under the bridge. Otherwise
there are proper provisions for naviga-
ton, and the work is said to DE OF a
substantial character.

rhe Vote on san Domingo.

Senator WILEY voted in favor OF the
San Domingo resolutions. His time
being so nearly out, and there being no
possibility of his reelection, he can well
afford to sustain GRANT against the

upon the question, II is probable that
he grew tired OF the discussion and
went home before the vote was taken.
