Mr.. Van Arsdcl, like many of our
merchant princes, had come from a
rural district, and had an early ex-
pericncc of the hard and frugal life
Of farm. Good sense, acute OBJ
servation, an ability to take wide
and clear views Of men and things,
and an incorruptable integrity, had
been the means Of his rise to his
present elevation. He was true
American in another respect, and
that was his devotion to women
In America, where we have a clear
democracy, women hold that intlu-
ence over men that is excited by
the aristocracy of other countries.
They are something to be looked
up to, pctted and quoted. The hn-
man mind seems to require some
thing of this kind. The faith and
fcalty that the middle-class English
man has toward his nobility is not
at all snobbery. 1t has something
Of poetry in tit is his romance OF
life. Up in those airy regions
where walk the nobility he is at
liberty to fancy some higher, finer
types of manhood and womanhood
than he sees in the ordinary ways
Of life, and he adores the unseen
and unknown. The American life
would become vulgar and common
place did not chivairous devotion
to woman come in to supply the
place Of recognized orders Of no.
bility. The true democrat sees no
superior in rank among men, but
all women are by courtesy, his sn-
pcriors.-1Nrs. Ntosce-"1Wy Wife

How Nellie Grant Dresses.

Last Sunday morning the presi-
dent called a carriage, and, unan-
nounced and unattended. went with
his daughter Nellie to Plymouth
church, which is under the spiritual
administration of DR.. Bartlett. Here
they occupied the clerical pew,
and having consequently considera-
bic prominence, they were the cyno-
sure Of all eyes. The attention Of
the congregation was very much
divided between the eloquent dis
course Of the pastor and the presi-
Dental worshipers. We are given
to understand that not one Of the
ladies left the church without hav-
ing every minute portion Of the
dress of Miss Nellie indelibly i'm
printed in her memory. From one
of the fair ones present, who failed
to give the text when requested, We
learn that Miss Nellie Grant was
dressed plainly, neatly, but quite q
1T mode. Her dress vas Of two
shades of brown silk, IN arrange
ment Of color now quite the ton. The
skirt was of the rich dark shade
known as the cameo, and the waist
of a lighter shade, with a scarcely
perceptible yellowish tint. 1t was
in detecting this delicate tint that
our informant is supposed to have
lost the figures which indicate the
place in which the text may be
found. Each color was trimmed,
but not elaboratelv, with the other,
the light being used to relieve the
dark, and the dark to render the
lighter shade less obtrusive. The
skirt was trimmed with bullion
fringe. The gloves were Of dark
brown hue corresponding with the
skirt. The hat was white turban,
trimmed with light blue of very
delicate shade, and crowned with a
handsome blue and white plume.
Jewelry Of etruscan gold Of a very
tasteful pattern, the set consisting
of bracelets and earrings, and d.
minutivc black veil completed u
costume with which the most criti-
cal and inattentivc lady in the audi
encc could find no fault. The close
attention of the young lady to the
hymns, her careful listening to the
sermon, and her reverential manner
during the prayer, excited the en-
thusiastic admiration of all feminine
observers who could not themselves
spare time for devotion. But this
was excusable.-C Chicago Republi-

Of the invalids, feeling their pulse
and otherwise showing my interest
in their recovery. The brandy ap-
peared to have as salutary effect on
the man at the table as the morphia
had on the sick, for he was fast
asleep in few minutes. The only
impcdiment in the way Of my escape
now was large dog which it was
difficult to keep from me when |
first came to the house, and was
now barking, swapping and growl-
ing as if he had been trained to it.
Very many modes Of escape sug-
gcsted themselves to me while the
time was thus passing; the most
favored of which was to seize the
revolver, rush out Of the house, and
run my chance with the dog. Hows
ever, before ! could put any of these
suggestions into practice, the wo-
man went out, called "Lion, Lion"
and returned followed by the dog,

side as she reseatcd herself. In a

A Night in the Han ds Of the Ku-Klux,

To tho Editors Of the Boston Daily Advertiser:
l see in your issue of to-day the
contents of the telegram announcing
my capture and escape from the
Kentucky Ku-Klux. AS the account
is somewhat defective in detail, l
give you herewith the affair as it
occurred. l visited my native
State in behalf of "The National
Association for the Spread Of TEN
pcrance and Night Schools among
the Freedmen" and had spoken to
large numbers Of them at Louisville
and ether places, and was on my
way to speak at Pleasureville, 4
place half way between Louisville
and Lexil, gton. l arrived at Pleas
ureville depot at little after six in
the evening, and was met by a
colored man who informed the that
the meeting was to take place five
miles in the country. After wait
ing some little time for team
which was expected, we started on
foot, thinking we should meet the
vehicle. We walked on until dark
overlook us, and meeting no team
l began to feel apprehcnsivc that
all was not right. The man with
me, however, assured me that there
was no danger, and we went on.
But we shortly after heard the trot-
ting of horses both in front and in
the rear, and before l could deter
mine what to do we were surround
ed by some eight or ten men, three
of whom dismounted, bound my
arms behind me with cord, re-
mounted their horses and started on
in the direction l had been travel
ing. The man who was with me
disappeared while I was being tied.
The men were not disguised, and
talked freely amongst themselves.
After going a mile or more they
stopped, and consulted moment or
two, the purport of which l could
not hear, except one of them saying:
"Lawrencc don't want a nigger
hung so near his place." They
started again; l was on foot, rope
had been attached to my arms, and
the other end to one Of the horses.
| had to hasten my steps to keep
from being dragged along by the
animal. Soon they turned to the
right and followed up what appear
cd to be cow-path.
While on the road my hat fell of,
and | called out. to the man behind
and said, "I've lost my hat" ''Iou
will need no hat in half an hours
time,'' he replied. AS we were
passing a log-house on this road a
man came out and said, in tremb-
ling voice, "Jim's dyine!' All the
men now dismounted, and with the
exception Of two, they went into the
building. l distinctly heard the
cries, groans and rawlings OF the
sick man, which satisfied me at once
that it was an extreme case OF dc
lirium tremcns; and as l had treat
ed that malady successfully by the
hypodermic remedy, and having
with me the little instrument, the
thought flashed upon my mind that
/ mi ght save my life by the trial.
Consequently, ! said to one OF the
men: 81 know what's the matter
with that man, and l can relieve
him in ten minutes" One of the
men went into the house, related
what had said, and the company
came out. The leader, whom they
all addressed as "Cap," began to
question me with regard to my

The author of a work entitled
"Cyclical Deluge," recently pub
lished by Appleton & Co., argues
that the ocean has grand secular
tides or deluges, which occur every
ten thousand five hundred years,
two in each cycle of the equinoctial
procession. The last deluge was
that to which the traditions Of many
languages refer-thc "great deluge"
and occurred four thousand two
hundred years ago; when the suns
heat having sufficiently softencd the
vast accumulation of ice around the
North Pole, the fragments of the
ice mountains rushed in body to
the South, causing a sudden dis
placement of the earth's center of
gravity, and carrying with them
the gigantic crratic bouldcrs whose
presence in northern latitudes still
puzzles geologists. According to
Mr.. Walker, the author of the work,
the next grand breakup will occur
about six thousand three hundred
years hence, when counter oscil-
lation OF the south seas will occur;
the Antarctic glacier will be shat
tered; "thc southern waters will
rush down upon the northern hem
isphere, which will be once more
submerged, whilst in the south un-
known continents will appear
Admiral Wilkes of our navy will
look forward with interest to that
day, for then the Antarctic conti-
nent which he claimed to have dis
covered in 1910, but which has
since been invisible, and over which
Capt. Ross and other voyagcrs have
repeatedly sailed, may then come
to the surface of the water; and his
memory may cease to be source
Of amusement to geographers and
nautical men. The theory of the
periodicity of great deluges was
propoundcd by Alphonse Joseph
Adhemar, in his work entitled
"Revolutions de la Mer," where he
argues that the waters are now ris-
ing in the seas Of the northern hem
ispherc, and that the Antarctic ice
is already piled up to the hight of
sixty miles. He invites attention
to the contour of the carth's shad-
ow upon the moon during lunar
eclipses, with view Of verifying
his calculations. The results of
these are accepted by the present
author, who seeks to sustain them
by various arguments drawn from
geology. The volume is reported,
by those who have read it, to have
much scientific merit. The proba-
bility of its conclusions, however,
is point that only mathematicians
can settle. Meanwhile it is reas-
suring to be told that the next eye
lical deluge will not occur until the
year 1882 Of our era, even though
upon that occasion vegetable and
animal life on the north of the cqua
tor will in a great measure be de-
stroyed; while the same must hap
pen to the human race on that hem
isphere, excepting perhaps few
tribes or families, who escaping to
the highest table lands and noun
tain ranges of the earth, may sur
vive, only to fall back almost i'm
mediately into state of torpid bar
barism." - Warerly.
