The object of the Principal in establishing

business education, and preparing others to
enter any of the first class Universities of the
United States.
No student under II years of age will be
admitted, nor any beyond, unless to some ex-
tent advanced.

The authorities of the College are determin-
ed that this department shall be conducted by
the best professional ability. The patrons
may feel assured that the music taught here is
not of that silly, sentimental character by
which the refined and cultivated ear is so
often shocked; bnt it is true music, that which
tends to refine the feelings and inspire pure
and exalted emotion.

There is man living in the mountains
of North Carolina, says the Louisville
Journal no more than forty miles
from Greenville, South Carolina, who
has reached the extraordinary age of 143
years. At the time of Braddock's defeat
he was twenty years old, and had a wife
and three children. A gentleman at
Greenville states that this man, who has
come down to us from former genera
ton, has always been in moderate cir
cumstances, lived upon a coarse vege-
table diet, that he has never drank any
water but spring water, and Liis fair to
live many years longer. He enjoys per-
feet health, possesses all OF manhood's s
attributes, and wishes to marry. He
has survived seven wives, and having
lost his last one about sixty years ago,
he now begins to feel lonely. .u. ,s

A BOmbshell in ROthschild's Counting
Room

The original Rothschilds have still q
large banking-house at Frankfort-on-
the Main. 1t is situated at the foot of
the Jews street, near the place where
the old Anselm, the founder Of the firm,
was born. On the 10Th of April the
peaceable inmates of that house became
error-stricken. A Frenchman had en-
tered the counting-room in the morning,
demanding the payment of four million
francs for the Commune at Paris, threat
ening the whole Rothschilds' family with
destruction in case of refusal to pay
the required bounty. The fool was
shown the door, but immediately after
his exit a small bombshell, like those of
Orsini, filled with nitro glycerine, ex-
ploded in the vestibule in front of the
counting-room, in consequence of which
a heavy wall, separating the anti-room
from the Office, was driven in and one OF
the inmates badly wounded. The police
got hold of the miscreant-it is not yet
ascertained whether he is simply fanati-
cized fool or member of secret society
ordered to commit the act.

A New Decorative Art - Painting
"Black" 4" Eyes.

-Esthetic longings may, perhaps, be
satisfied with a passing glance at the
pictures in Goupirs or Schaus' windows,
in Broadway, New York, but there are
charms about particular sign in Chat
No illustration from tistiana can have a
more striking effect. There stand por.
trayed, within the tistic ring, two noble
brutes sparring away, with potato-like
tuberculose confguration of heads, the
grogginess wonderfully hit off, the eyes
especially showing those peculiar rides
cent tints, the results OF their manly
calling. Under the heroes runs this
legend: " Black eyes made natural in
ten minutes"
AS question of social statics, we fear
it never can be satisfactorily answered
how many black eyes are administered
daily to the inhabitants of New York.
If ever we can arrive at q tabulated
statement, then may we hope some new
Buckle will be forthcoming who may
found on it some imposing theory,
throwing fresh lights on the civilization
of this great American Republic. 1t is
presumable, however, reversing for once
the true order of political economy, that
since the supply of black eyes was un-
limited, demand must have arisen for
some ready method of concealing these
fortuitous adornments of the human
face.
"Is it regular business z" we asked
of the owner of the establishment. "Are
your artistic talents often called into
play 2"

"Of obliterating those accidental hues

cents, according to the customer and
the nature of the bung."

an injured eye, that l have absolutely
eclipsed the sound one, so much so, that
have been forced to work upon the

Crittenden during these matrimonial
transformations still maintained his
fatuous devotion to the adventures
He gave her something like $4,000 al
together. At the time OF the Snyder
episode he, however, seems to have real
lied the part he was playing. he sent
for his wife and family, and meantime
informed Mrs. Fair that he could have
nothing more to do with her. She
flooded him with letters and denuncia-
tions. She threatened an exposure of
his relations with her. Receiving no
answers to these rawlings, she thrust her
self upon him in his office and avowed
herself his wife. She dared him to cast
her off. The next day she shot him
dead, as he sat beside his wife and chill
dren. tIlt fl. .H VI I'D
OF the infamies of the trial we have
no purpose to speak. The worn out
plea OF insanity was put forth, but the
jury were not impressed with it. The
woman faced her judge and jury with
matchless assurance, in the very face of
Mrs. Crittenden, declaring herself her
victims lawful wife before God" She
held what is termed advanced views of
womanhood," and some of them she had
put in practice. Perhaps sober con-
temptation of this fearful case may con-
vince ladies Of her way of thinking that
those fantastic theories which strip wo-
man of the proverbial attributes of the
sex, can have no other logical result in
practice than to reduce woman to the
condition of a monster. If the life of
Laura Fair, who now stands convicted
of one of her murders, is more horrible
than the lives of others of her school, it
is not because her principles are any
worse than those of the average marriage
reformer, but because she has been more
consistent and courageous in acting up
to their ultimate tendencies. Tribune.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

JUTE IN THE UNITED SrATEs.-Mr.
e. H. Derby, of Boston, writes to the
Commissioner of Agriculture:
1t is obvious that iute has been sue
cessfully introduced into this country,
and hourishes in the moist bottom lands
of the Southern States. entertain no
doubt that it will grow wherever the
cane grows, on the moist soils of the
South, and believe that the India plant
is best suited to our requirements.
trust you will urge your correspondents
to preserve and circulate the seed which
they have raised, and to plant it when
they plant the cotton. If the Depart
ment of Agriculture had done nothing
else, it seems to me it has earned all the
Government has appropriated for it by
introducing and acclinating this valu-
able plant.
1 deem it almost as great an acquisi.
ton to the country as cotton itself. 1t
yields one of the cheapest fibres nature
produces. 1t is raised in India, and /
presume can be raised here for less than
one-half the cost of hemp, and for one
fourth the cost of cotton. 1t has been
produced in India for one cent per
pound of fibre. 1t is woven not only
into gunny cloth and gunny bags, but
enters largely into carpets and many
kinds of tissues. In India jute has been
constantly gaining upon cotton. Eng
land has imported from India of this
article more than 120,000,000 pounds in
q single year; and we last year i'm
ported more than 100000, which cost
more than S3,O00,OOO, and sold at the
South for $5,000,000. 1t is used there
chiefly to envelop cotton. If we had
diverted that amount of labor from cot
ton to jute we might have raised much
larger quantity at home, and at the
same time have increased the value of
our cotton crop. The jute seems to me
to be plant admirably adapted to the
wants of the South. The South requires
it for bale cloths, also to divert labor from
cotton, and to employ the operatives
during inclement seasons in the manu-
facture of cloth. presume that the
mechanism used in Kentucky for spin
ming and weaving hemp will be appro-
pirate for jute.
BLAcKBERRIEs.-l. Blackberry Brandy
Ten quarts of blackberries make one
gallon of juice. To one gallon of juice
add four pounds of sugar. Boil and
skim it. Strain, and add one ounce OF
cloves, one ounce of ground cinnamon,
ten grated nutmegs, and boil again
When cool, add one quart of best brandy
or whisky. 2. Blackberry Coraal.-
Three pounds Of ripe blackberries and
one pound of white sugar let them
stand twelve hours; press the juice and
strain it. Add one third of good spirits,
and to every quart teaspoonful of fine
ly powdered allspice. 1t is at once fit
for use. 3. Blackberry Wine.-Bruise the
blackberries, and to every gallon add one
quart of water. Let the mixture stand
tor twenty-four hours, stirring occasion.
ally strain off the liquor into cask, tc
every gallon adding two pounds Of
sugar; cork tight, and let stand until
the following October, and the wine will
be ready without straining or boiling.
