A "Reyiyal', Story.

p This story has never been appreciated
as it ought to be. It'actually occurred
in tho negro church at Company Shops,
last month. The colored people wero
carrying on a meeting, and many were
coming through. An old Guinea
"aunty" went in and her bull dog went
with her and Gpiled himself up at her
feet. After the preacher got through
and the shouting and clapping had com
menced the bull dog became enraged
and seized big buck negro fellow By
the throat and threw him down on tho
floor. Some Of his friends ran mp, caught
the dog by the leg and pulled him off,
The beast turnedln his fury upon the
crowd and bit four others seriously.
You never heard such hollering and
squalhng in all your life. There was a
tremendous crowd in the church and
this happening away up about the "altar"
the crowd in the back part thought it
was the mourners coming through"
and they took up the shout and went to
shouting; "Bless the Lord |" "Shout,
brothers and sisters, shout I" "One
more poor soul saved!" &c, &C. But
about this time frightened negro split
through the crowd, the bull dog hanging
to the seat Of his breeches and he squal-
ling: "Pull him loose the devils got
mel" And out went the crowd. Many fell
down and were run over by the balance
and the lights were put out and some
Of the negroes got seriously hurt. Tho
old Guiena negro keeps a chain on that
bull dog now as big as wagon polo
whenever she tends meetin'. Roanoke

Selling out to the Devil.

Now, wheI. u man sells fifteen ounces
for pound, he makes contract with
the devil, and sells himself for the value
of an ounce! And this is not all; he
sells himself to as many devils as the

ounces for sixteen! Idonot say that they
undervalue themselves in such sale as
this. / think that they do not ordinari-
ly! But consider what q man will do

a man can look at himself in glass, or
bear to be alone with himself, l cannot

trained his young men, his correspond

course from week to week, damaging
people, while he enrichcs himself all

THE GREAT FIRE IN CHICAGO.

Another Discovery OF the Hand OF
God in the Chicago Fire-Retri-
button Dealt Out by Divine Pro-
Vidence for Southern Raids Dur
ing the War. 3,fa. --.
Nearl y one-half of the city has been
laid in ashes and a hundred and fifty
thousand people rendered homeless.
The announcement, ut first, seemed
Incredible When the telegraph con-
frmed the facts, a thrill of horror and
sympathy pervaded the universal heart.
This fact presents palliative for many
Of the outrages al d cruelties OF the past
ten years, and show that human nature
has, after all, some redeeming traits
1t was far different when Sherman S
army desolated and destroyed the fair
est region Of the South, robbing and
plundering, and burning as they went,
and leaving the people to starve, or
when Sheridan, q monster OF cruelty,
overran and destroyed the valley of Viz
ginia," afterward boasting that crow
would have to carry its provisions under
its wings, if it should attempt to fly
over it and thus he brought starvation
ON the old men, women, and children OF
that region /; so that thousands perished
of famine. More poverty, and more
lives we're destroyed in these raids than
all Chicago put together, and what Was
the sentiment Of the North? One OF
exultation and rejoicing. These acts Of
vandalism were puraded as victories, and
the heroes were met ON their return with
ovation of men and obligations to kis-
Ses from many Of the gentle damsels Cf
the North, "carried away by the militia
ry glory that settled around the heads
of these vandal thievs that was degrad-
ing, sickening, disgusting! What cared
these women for the homeless, house
less, starving mothers and children of
the South? Nothing. They exulted
in their sufferings laughed at the story
OF the punishment of the daughters OF
the South, the burning and robberies of
their dwellings, and slaughter Of their
strong men, shouted hosannahs and
threw from the tips of their fingers kis-
ses to the perpetrators of these acts of
vadalism.
That was then. Now, that which is
not half so horrible, thrills their bosom
with sympathy, and their hand is quick
and liberal to the relief of the sufferers.
These things prove that man is good
deal lower than the angels, and some
times at least, little higher than the
devils. Chicago has lost, perhaps, three
hundred million dollars by the fire.
The properly destroyed in the South is
estimated Mt over one thousand millions,
The fire in Chicago was the result of ac-
cident. The destruction of property in
the South was done purposely, by North
ern soldiers; and compares exactly with
the acts Of the Goths and Vandals, sava-
ges that overran and subjugated the Ro-
man Empire. But we are living under
q higher civilization. "Chicago did her
full share in the destruction of the South
God adjusts balances. May be with

unpleasant inroad into many restricted
income.
AS rule, gloves should always be a
shade lighter than the dress with which
they are worn, never darker,-dark gloves
with light dresses are most offensive to the
eye.
To return to black gloves for moment,
L must here remark that abroad. where
rules respecting mourning are much more
strict than in England, black kid gloves
are not allowed during the first stage of
mourning. Black kid is shining, and deep
mourning should avoid all that shines;
thus black wooden gloves are alone allowed
under these circumstances. At the Bur-
gundian Court gloves were not allowed at
all during mourning. 1t would appear by
as objects of vanity, like powder and rouge,
which likewise were prohibited during
mourning.
For general wear, neutral tints are the
best for gloves, and above all, the Swedish
kid glove in its natural tau-color. There
is no glove like it for usefulness, elegance,
and economy. They may be worn at all
hours, and with all dresses, excepting evcn-
ing dress.
In the event of embroidered gloves or
mittens returning into fashion, it will be
as well to remark here that embroidery
should always correspond with the natural
shape of the hand,-fowers and symbols,
such as two hands united, should be scru-
pulously avoided. Lines and arabasques
are the most appropriate patterns for glove
emboidery,-lines tend to make the hands
look narrow, and therefore are preferred to
any other style of working.
The first requisite for glove is that it
should fit well, therefore it ought to lie
cut according to the hand; in fact, the
hands should be measured for gloves as the
feet are for boots. In France it has long
been customary to measure for gloves, and
there are now few establishments in Lon
don which adopt similar fashion.
The art of cutting out n glove is one
especially excelled in by the French, and is
HioSe uilllCult Ill cAeCutlOH. luuecu, Cuelc
is an old proverb which says it takes three
kingdoms to make one glove: Spain to pro-
vide the kid, France to cut it out, and Eng
land to sew it. The French have paItic-
ular art in economical cutting, and can cut
three pairs of gloves out of the same guam
tity of kid that an Englishman can scarce
ly cut two. Consequently French gloves
ought to be cheaper than English, but they
are not. The Germans, though their kid
is rapidly rivalling Spanish kid, and though
they sew as well rs the English, are quite
ignorant of the art of cutting, consequent
ly they are as yet unable to make good
gloves.
If a glove is not to disfgure hand, it
should be made of the softest and most
elastic kid, that will lend itself to every
natural movement of the hand; and the
best color, as already stated, is the natural
light tan-color of the kid itself. In former
romantic days, young ladies wore gloves
the color they wished their hands, to he
and tried to initiate the rosy-fingered god
dess by wearing rose colored gloves. But
we are more matter-of-fact in these days,
and, think more natural.
