Long Trails.

The Reuolution does not approve oi
one of the fashions. This sprightly pa
per says ct is both in sorrow and in
anger that we notice, in these days, the
lengthening of skirts for street wear, so
that the back breadths dip into the dirt
just enough to thoroughly befoul the bor-
der of a woman's garment. A few in
ches more or less Of silk or cashmere seem
now to furnish line of separation be-
tween the bespotted follower of fashion
who is in the hands of her dressmaker,
like puppet pulled by string, and the
rational-minded human being, who judges
for herself what things are decent, seemly
and convenient for woman to wear.
We do not hesitate to pronounce the
present style of street sweeper, which wo-
men are beginning to adopt, altogether
vile. 1t is degrading badge of servi-
tude, and a woman who respects herself,
is culpable for copying and extending
such dirty and senseless style. No wo-
man, if she is not an idiot, in these days
when physiological laws aud rational ideas
ought to exert some little influence in in-
Producing healthy and convenient cost
umes, can excuse herself for allowing a
modiste to tack on to her person an ap-
pendage, calculated to outrage every idea
of decency, by wipiug up the tobacco
filth and miscellaneous litter of our dirty
sidewalk.

A Busy Man.

The Golden Age says: "The Rev, E.
L. Hale has just written his name on the
books of the Lyceum Bureau in Boston.
Which is just like him. Not that Mr..
Hale is lecturer but, being minister of
one Of the largest churches in the city,
the editor of the largest monthly maya
zine in the country, the chief editorial
contributor to religious paper, writer
of stories for two magazines, the leader of
theological club, the head and heart of
thirteen distinct and separate charities,
the teacher of history and religion to a
class of young ladies, an active officer in
some twenty important societies and in
stitutions, one of the leading managers Of
denomination, the chosen mouth piece
of every new movement and reform, the
favorite speaker at all public meetings
from an agricultural fair to an anniver-
sary of the Academy of Science and Art,
and probable candidate for Congress,
besides other things too numerous to men
ton, all of which receive full share of
his attention, the only thing he possibly
can do with his unoccupied time to pro
tect himself from the blight and mildew
of enneui is to enter the lecture field
His subject has not yet been announced,
but we presume it will be The Man with
out an Occupation" sequel to The
Man without Country"

The Preservation Of Eggs.

The Journal dc Pharmacie ct dc
Chime contains an account Of some ex-
periments by NJ. FL. Violette, on the best
method of preserving eggs-a subject of
much Importance in France. Many
methods had been tried continued I'M
mersions in limewater or salt water ex-
clusion of air by water, saw-dust, etc.,
and even vanishing has been tried. but
respectively condemned. The simplicity
of the method adopted on many farms,
namely, that of closing the pores of the
she'll with grease or oil, had, however, at
tracted the attention Of the author, who
draws the following conclusions from a SER
les of experiments on this method. We
getable oil, more especially linseed, simp-
ly rubbed on the egg, hinders any altera-
tion for sufficiently extensive period,
and presents very simple aud eficatious
method of preservation, eclipsing any
methods hitherto recommended or prac-
ticed.

DEATH-How is it, that, having once
looked on death, we can for moment
forget it? How can we 60 back to our
hopes and dreams, when we have under
stood that they must all end here, that
the most loving eyes must be closed thus,
the busiest hands so crossed upon the
breast-the greatest mind becomes a
blank, aud human beauty turn in few
short hours to thing of sorrow? Why
does not this phantom Death stand at the
alter, and say to the bride and bride
groom-"Why love, when there must
come bitter parting for one of you ere
long? Why wed, when the very wed
ding hour hurries you nearer to the grave
as it passes by Z"
How can the mother forget it when
her baby lies upon her breast, and not
say to herself-"I have only brought in
to this world another thing to die ?"-
Why do We not see the CHASTITY skeleton
at our feasts see him in our streets
hear him in songs and be SO bitterly op
pressed by his inevitably coming as to
lose all hope, and sit in dust and ashes
bewailing the bitter fate of man, who, dc
what he may, can only live to die?

Hot Water for Poisonous Bites.

The efficacy OF hot water in various in.
jures is not generally known. Many per-
sons have perished from the effects of
bites from rabid or veuomous animals or
reptiles, as dogs, rats, snakes, etc, whose
lives might have been saved by the use
of hot alkaline water. Whenever any
one is bitten, the injured part should i'm
mediately be immersed in hot water con
tanning little lye or soda ash, aud re-
main therein for several hours-the wa.
ter being constantly kept as hot as eau
possibly be borne. 1t is positive cure

How to Cheat the Doctor.

A soldier patient at Herbert at Her
bert Hospital, England, a few days ago,
wrote the following advice to a comrade ::
Previous to going to hospital rub your
tongue with chalk, ready for the word,
put out your tongue ) then, when, when
the doctor is going to feel your pulse, be
sure to knock your elbow against the wall,
and it will beat to any number a minute,
then, if you wish to persevere to be an
invalid, be on the look out for friend
to bring you bit of raw bullock's liver
every morning, in order to spit blood for
the doctor of course, have little bit of
liver in your mouth, under your lounge
fresh, ready for him when he comes
round the hospital ward, and have good
piece ready to spit out for him when he
approaches your cot then give great
sign and a groan, and your are sure to be
ordered lamb chops, chicken, rice pud
ding, port wine, Guinness's, stout in fact
you may live on the fat of the land for
the rest of your soldering, which will not
be long but depend upon it, you are
sure of pension, even under ten years
service"
We hope there are not many in hospi
tai quite so clever as this "old soldier"

A young couple had been MARI

A young couple had been married by
a Quaker, and after the ceremonoy, he
remarked to the husband:
Friend, thou art now at the end of
thy troubles"
A few weeks after, the young man

with rage (his wife was regular vixen.)

the end of my troubles %

man, has put power in the hands of his
enemies which is not sparingly used

for moment and then broke out, "Well,

Grand Ceremonies at st. Joseph's New
Church.
The grand event of the season will be the
ceremony Of the laying of the corner stone
OF the great st. Joseph's church. on Der
bisny and Common streets. We under
stand that the most elaborate preparations
have been made for the accommodation of
visitors who wish to be present on the occa-
sion. The Rev. Father Ryan, the favorite
poet and orator of the South, who is to
preach the sermon, has already arrived in
the city, We may say there is not South
ern heart in the city that does not glow
with enthusiasm at the prospect of hearing
him on so grand an occasion.
The ceremonies will commence at three
O'Clock today. The various Catholic So
cieties will meet at two o'clock at the Clay
statue on Canal street, and escorted by
Branch No. 3. Hibernian Mutual Aid AssO-
ciation, will proceed to the pastoral resi-
dence OF st. Joseph, where they will be

grounds at two o'clock, and besides pre-
serving order, will be prepared to attend to
the accommodation of invited guests.

Important Decision.

A case of considerable importance to the
coal trade generally, was decided in the
Supreme Court at Washington, on the third
instant. This case was brought for the
purpose of testing the validity Of the clause
inserted in the bills of lading prepared by
vessel owners and captains Of the associa-
ton, providing for the payment of demurrers
by consignees in cases where vessel is de-
tanned beyond a certain number of hours,
and prevented from discharging her cargo.
The court decided in favor of the validity
of the clause in bills of lading, holding that
the consignees receiving the cargo were
under which the coal is shipped, when
either cousignee or his agent have received
bill or have knowledge Of it's contents.

with her graceful wiles. practicing upon a
doing old husbands love and credulitv. or
bending more rebellious subjects to her will,
till, despite the immortality Of wishing 'suc-

overthrow Of all her schemes, that true
love and virtue may receive the just reward

reader Of this book can complain of want
Of interest in its pages. and one forgives a
rather too vivid coloring as blessed relief

This new effort of this entertaining au-

closest attention to the end. We cordially
commend it to all novel readers.

This is the ninth volume of the new, cheap
and popular edition of the works of this
author, now in course of publication, which
are having very large sale. for Charles
Lever has no rival in that free, manly, dash
ing style Of sketching life, manners and hui
nOrOus incidents, to which he has devoted
himself. His reputation is worldwide. His
works are full of genial humor, brilliant
wit and striking characters.

Another edition. in cheap and popular
form, is justified by the undiminishing favor
received by this absorbing book. Volumin-
GUS as it is, the reader lays it down finally
with regret, and its wildly portrayed char
acters not only frequently rise before his
minds eye, but the scenes through which
they have passed thrill his nerves as though
they were events actually transpiring.
